As a long-term fan I believe I'm correct in thinking this is the first time in many, many years new leagues have been added? Thanks for all the incredibly hard work that's gone into this!

SazoJohnno Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Can anyone confirm whether if this is a bug before I post it on the bug section - I tried to select B team manager (as Ajax) for the match day but it is unavailable however B team manager is available to select for B team friendly only. I somehow cannot pick him for the B team match day. Is this a bug? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly a new save is only required for competition, rulegroup and data related issues. However, this is a beta so there is always the possibility that you find and we resolve an issue outside of these areas that requires a new game. Neil will let you know if anything requires a new save between now and release. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just want to make sure before I start a save and will probs run a holiday to check if you don't know or can't say Yep, it's in. When we mention that competition rules are a work in progress there are some rules we are aware of that still require implementing ahead of full release and some that will require tweaking.

Icy Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 The past experience based on the league you want to coach is a nice feature but seems to not to be working properly as it's not reseting to the right one when you select a lower league than the initial one you selected. How to reproduce it: 1) Select any top league, like Spain top division 2) Select a lower league like National League North in UK The Past experience remains as the one from the top league selected before.

ChelseaFan Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 The playing time feature is wonderful. Still concerns with the moving of data columns though. It seems this still hasn't been addressed. On the tactics screen and under the "Squad Report" drop down, it shows ability but didn't show potential. I got rid of a few of the other columns and tried to add it, but it keeps doing that thing where the last column is really wide and you can't resize it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never add a column in the far right of the screen, always do it somewhere else first. That way you can move it, and it generally avoids that issue, but yes, it is annoying if that's still a thing.

jimbo22 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 This isnt a bug but more of an idea to improve the transfer offer screen of certain players. I have listed a player and have recieved 6 offers for him, 3 are to buy outright and the other 3 are loan. It may not be a big thing but when I look at the screen below its not clear which ones are loans and which ones are to buy the player outright. As Im looking to move the player on Im not interested in the loan option so would like to know, quickly, which offers are to buy. Might be trivial but would help for quickness IMO. All that would need added is (Loan) at the end of the team name where I highlighted it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

autohoratio Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 The hair in the manager appearance creator is really bad still sadly, still looks really waxy/plasticy and unhairlike. Some of the hair models have clipping issues into the skin, or you can see the background through a gap between the hair and the skin. Male hair choice #2 changes the eyebrows to be thinner which is odd. A lot of the hair models still have the massive gap between the ears and where the hair starts which I don't understand... The faces look a LOT better than in FM19 though. Feedback for the "use club colour" option in the attire: split it to "use club primary colour" and "use club secondary colour" - particularly useful for clubs with striped kits 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnhughthom Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Started unemployed and applied for the team closest to me geographically, Distillery. On offering me an interview, they stated the reservations they had about appointing me, which was a nice touch. Absolutely loved the five year plan which was proposed to me in the interview, a realistic, achievable plan for the club. I just hope the board isn't overly harsh going forward if I end up a year or two behind. I'm getting ahead of myself, haven't been offered the job yet! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehnzz Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Hey guys, so pumped for the beta! Looking great so far, this might be the first time in a while i stick to the standard skin So i have two questions. First of all, what does my technical director do, exactly? I'm playing as Brescia, top flight team and i have a vacant place for one, but i don't have a clue what he would do for me. Secondly, i do love the youth development centre but i would sort of want to keep my youth teams in my sidebar for quick access, as i spend as much time in them as in my main team. Is this possible? Again, thanks for the beta! Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ras Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 (edited) Would be good to have some more skin options automatically. The current ones are hurting my eyes a bit. When you go to a player the colours of certain attributes feel jarring. The yellow, i know it's customisable but would be nice if it was less straining automatically rather than manually having to figure out what works. Would be good if there was more options you could pick and it gives you different ones then can pick the most fitting. Another thing when you go to the players and it's automatically highlighted the attributes for the player role. I'd prefer it if this was something you did manually cause I have to keep clicking it off or at least the option did that to be the case. Am just looking around at the moment but seems like a lot more clicking, as somebody mentioned the preference screen and even getting to the youth teams, have to click quite a few times till can just see the squads. I'd prefer the tabs that were there before but the additional stuff still there is the development centre. Edited October 31, 2019 by Ras Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
