Fed up of seeing "Theres an awkward silence when you enter the room", "players are clearly disinterested". Considering i'm still new to the job and have won 7/9 games i expect more enthusiasm (manager of LFC and reputation ect set to highest before game started) It's still your first job in management though. In future versions, I'd like to see a starting option of 'experienced manager', and the game then makes up some fake history of your managerial achievements, this way it's more realistic to take over a big club in that scenario. At the moment, the best you can do is the equivalent of Wayne Rooney taking over at Real Madrid. EDIT - I know you've got coaching badges to start, so not exactly like Rooney, but you know what I mean.

rdbayly Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 When in sunlight, both the ball and white opposition kits are glowing. Is this something I can simply adjust in preferences or is it a known issue? P.S - I just cleared my squad in order to rotate them before the next friendly and my next task was to handle a pre-match briefing. As I'd cleared my squad I was talking to an empty room! 'The squad showed little reaction'. Comedy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rain effects are horrible, and it slows down the 3D engine on my laptop, I always used to turn this setting off as it adds nothing to the game - it even stays blue skies and sunny when it's raining! I almost exclusively use 2D now because of this, which is fine as i prefer that anyway, but the 3D graphics are much improved this year. No idea why there's not settings like there was before. I can only hope they do something about it, it was very disappointing to discover the absence of these options Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It showed durong the beta.. it's kind of strange like this,not a big deal but still.. This was removed intentionally. With the removal of software rendering mode to GPU rendering sometimes the processing wheel would pause due to a graphics error even when the game was actively processing, giving the impression the game was 'freezing'. The fix to the graphics side was incredibly complicated unfortunately, so we had to resort to removing the wheel so at least people didn't incorrectly believe the game was freezing up on them. Not an ideal solution and something we'll have to look at resolving for a future version at some point. Thanks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crb1986 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Just played a little and like the game overall. Still, couple of things to be reviewed: - Although split screen is similar, it's not the same. Between highlights we used to be able to see the backgrounds in full screen. It just doesn't feel the same. - Colors make text difficult to read. I know i'm not 20 yo anymore but as I usually play with a yellow/green team, it seems the colors are very shiny. - The game doesn't flow as it used to in previous versions, even with a new laptop. Sometimes it lags a bit. - Hopefully not, but it looks like SI is moving away from "customization" as regen hair packs are no longer available for FM18. The chance of having customized backgrounds, facepacks, logos and the long missed manager picture are the type of thing that make me feel immersed in the game. Thank you.

ben carter Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Is Sanchez leaving Arsenal hard coded? I haven't seen a game yet where he stays. Admittedly it seems extremely unlikely he'll re-sign in real life but surely if you were to win the league and some other trophies with Arsenal there would at least be the slightest possibility he'd sign.

Kazza Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) Hi all I had been following the beta thread and on that basis, decided to download the demo. Like most people I have played many iterations of CM/FM up until last year. I am pleasantly pleased with the demo. From my perspective, the game runs smooth, the graphics are a definite improvement and the new additions lend more weight to the game. Whether the ME has improved I cannot say yet, watching the game in 3d though, is a step forward from last year. I like the new layouts re tactics when making substitutions and changes, they give you a lot more information and an instance pictorial overview with the relevant and specific statistics to make those changes and so on. The Medical Centre and Scouting are good improvements and the tactics screen is very helpful re the analysis function. Not yet got to Transfers. Player interaction, some improvements and love the mind games; not lost one yet! As a low rep manager taking over from Rafa, they are not to impressed with me but time will change all that. I do not mind pressing a few more buttons as the information is all there and some hidden in depth stuff appears when you take your time to enjoy the experience. Speed and processing no issues. I just loaded up FM2017 to see if it compares , it does to a point but I can see with the inevitability of new skins , the improvements in FM2018, I will be sadly leaving my FM2017 and moving forward to FM2018. Enjoy. K Edited November 10, 2017 by Kazza Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

linuxe Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Is there any way of adding a widget to increase/decrease match speed easier? I usually tend to fast forward between build up play during highlights, but it's impossible in this year's edition since the menu when you press the gear wheel takes up half of the ****** pitch.

qwerty22 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 The widgets and interface during the 3d match are very clunky and unresponsive. Sometimes buttons like the pause don't work as well and players disappear from tactics widgets. Also when you hover over players it shows different ones on the tooltip, On penalties there's no scoreboard. The whole match interface needs a lot of cleaning up, When going to a player screen and coming back the 3D players duplicate as welll....The game is pretty stable so far and smooth everywhere else.

oulzac Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I just noticed this. It was probably there during the beta and I just missed it. But you can edit your manager appearance after the save starts. Nice. So you can change facial hair, hair color, and what you are wearing/color of cloths based on the team you manage. Its a very small and pointless thing. But I like it. I like it a lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

judicious Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I've noticed on the tactics screen prematch when selecting my team, if I want to change a players role then it changes the role but doesn't seem to reflect until I click the new role again.
