DavyDepuydt1 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Yes can someone from the si team or someone who has access to the beta make a summary of the next features that made it into the touch version? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafaelbenitez Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Just loaded up a test save with Inter. Can confirm that Club Vision, Playing Time Pathway and Development Centre are all in the game. The colour coding for the attribute boxes is not particularly pleasant though. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rafaelbenitez Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Although I've not really progressed past a couple of days, massive kudos to SI for bringing in the 3 main new additions for the full fat game into FMT this year. This will really spice up long term saves and have me playing this version a lot more than I did last year 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSpider Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 (edited) I downloaded the beta noticed the gameplay was kind of choppy so I turned off Retina Display like I did with FM19 and now I can't click on any of the menus. I've tried restarting the game and laptop and nothing happens. I'm playing on a 2015 MacBook Pro with the new OS Edit: I couldn't find anyway to fix this so I had to delete the game and reinstall it completely.

We're planning to add a Playing Time section to the Player Profile Information screen to make this easier but for now you can use the context menu (right-click the player's name) to do it. Be aware that the player is likely to become unhappy if you reduce their currently agreed playing time! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SI Staff Alex Pitt Posted October 31, 2019 SI Staff Share Posted October 31, 2019 So you had to set Manage Friendlies to Backroom Staff to fix it? If so that's still a bug we'll look into. Though I'm not seeing that internally at present - did you change or release any of your staff at any point? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
17Gonzo Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Have to say the game looks really polished this year. I've played 5 friendlies and am yet to encounter anything dubious, beyond my team not using it's allocated shirt numbers in friendlies (which isn't a major issue really). There might be a slight balancing issue with the frequency of headed attacking chances in the ME. Most of my chances seem to come from crosses. Certainly in my first league match my team scored 3 goals, all from headed chances. Could be a one off, so will look further at this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlowman Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 The Chelsea squad - which is under transfer embargo - only has two goalkeepers plus Blackman out on loan. Two keeps is probably one too few for a season . Could Jamie Cumming be added at the expense of one of the other lesser known outfield youth players?

DavyDepuydt1 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Any reason why "selection advice" was not implemented in FM Touch? seems like a feature that very much matches the FMT scene... Also very handy with the new "Playing Time" to get some advice on when you might want to start a certain player.

DavyDepuydt1 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 same as with the email to make players available for reserves before every reserve match. just like above a QOL thingie that really matches the FMT philosophy but is lacking here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafaelbenitez Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Spent some time with the full game too. Some observations: 1. It would be cool to have the club culture section at the bottom of the team selection screen when starting a new game. This really helps in the full game as a preview so you don't take a job that has a philosophy that doesn't interest you. 2. Club culture objectives in FMT are a little limited when compared to the full game. For example as Porto, in the full game you have to "sign players from domestic rivals", play "attacking football" and develop players using the club's youth system. However, in FMT it's just limited to playing attacking football. 3. In the full game when I've offered a contract to a player, you're required to set their playing pathway for the duration of their contract before proceeding to the actual negotiations. However, this doesn't seem to be possible in FMT. You only seem to be able to adjust the playing time just the once. So, for example, for a 3 year contract that I offer to a youngster, I can set future prospect -> breakthrough prospect -> squad player in the full game. However, if I were to offer a contract to a player in FMT, I'd only be able to set him as a future prospect and that will remain for the entire 3 years unless I manually change it. Not sure if this is meant to be by design. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

17Gonzo Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 An area for further improvement is how the game deals with VAR reviews, particularly offside. Rather than cutting away from the highlight, with then a text update at the top of the screen, I would rather stay with the highlight see the players on the pitch stood about waiting. Perhaps even put the VAR logo on the big screens during the short wait. It would be good to then show the decision and the players reacting to that.

To get it on your iPad you will have to wait for the full release of the game on the App Store. Do not buy the game from the website if you only want it on your iPad - the only way to get the game on iPad is from the App Store once the game is released.

DavyDepuydt1 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Because feedback doesn't need to be negative all the time: I love how the DoF works. It's the first time that he manages to complete transfers (loan transfers, free transfers, end of contract, normal transfers). In previous versions this didn't work very well, especially with small teams. I've now tested with large and small teams and all type of transfer work very well with the DoF. I've been waiting for years for it to work this well. Very good job SI ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that confirmed then, that all loans will require a 100% contribution if not from an affiliate club? Not shouting and screaming about it, but it does feel like quite a departure from previous editions. Does also seem strange that there is the option to offer less if it is always going to be refused. I have absolutely no more knowledge than anyone else, but I'd be surprised if there aren't loans IRL where the player is paid still by their parent club, especially loans to Conference sides Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Lucas Posted November 2, 2019 Administrators Share Posted November 2, 2019 I said, some. Depending on what side you are, who you're loaning from and their disposition to said loan proposal you may have to pay some, or all or even none of their wages. There's no blanket 100% contribution for all loans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
