Deadbloke Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 At least something exciting happens in Whaddon.

MorrisseyMuse Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Lol Great idea, I'm all for it. FM 09 does a decent job with 2D (if ya can run it of course), but it does feel like a step down still from previous efforts. Though I think CM 03/04 had the ultimate dots meself, they were the biggest and brightest, I could even see 'em without me glasses on! Oh, and many thanks to michaeltmurrayuk for his excellent skin too! I've tried it and it makes such a difference to the 09 ME, even gets rid of that time bar that I'm not a fan of.

golfpunk Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 CAMRAD was shut down due to Health and Safety reasons. An unnamed 3D lover broke into HQ and hid a tuna sandwich behind a radiator causing a horrendous smell throughout the building. This in turn led to an infestation of Tuna-loving wild locusts. The building was evacuated and the exterminators were sent in to clear up the mess. A few men lost their lives in this catastrophic event but luckily the whole thing was cleared up and operations are now back up and running. Mr.C was taken to a secure,top secret location during the events that occured and was escorted back to HQ unharmed once the all clear was given. Damn those pesky 3D kids.

scoot4nat Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Too boost post counts and too make jokes Only joking the point is it's a organisation that wants a better 2-D dot mode. Let me put this simply.... 2D Dots. There is very little room for improvement. "Show me a dot" "There you are" "Now show me it in 2D" "There you are" Any "improvement" improvement would simply change either the fact that it is essentially a dot, or the fact that it is 2D. *** Peter - a fair point, if only every thread was like this!

peter-evo Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 No. But one thread like this in a while is a bit of a relief. We are mainly campaigning for the removal of the time-bar and the ad-boards along with more comfortable play. It's about the 2D-Classic view, not the dots.

crouchaldinho Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 I've posted this elsewhere but thought I would just mention it here. I've been back on FM09 and playing it quite a bit over the last few days. I have found that the match representation on FM09 can be quite repetitive and I tend to see the same things happening quite often in 2D mode just using key highlights. Does anyone else find this? There are certain moves, chances (especially hitting the bar, skimming the bar, the ball going over) and even certain goals (especially one where the striker shoots from an angle quite close to the goal and it goes under the 'keeper) that I have seen occurring quite regularly during matches. I can only presume that this has something to do with the introduction of 3D because I haven't really noticed in it in FM08 but it really sticks out in the new game. So, anyone else noticed this? Regards, C. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebirds4life Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 That is totally what I feel. I feel like the 3d is turning into 2d because in a way if you get what I mean 2d tracks 3d's moves, 2d this year is not near as good as it was in 08, I am sad.

crouchaldinho Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 There is also the winger dribbling through from out wide into the box too. Also, the corners look very similar at times. I can predict whether it will be a goal from a corner or not. A lot of the time, I can predict whether there will be a goal. There are a lot of similar shots and goals in this game. Old FMs used to be repetitive in some ways but this FM actually feels boring to watch for me now. Could be the level I'm playing at, I suppose. Might look nicer in the top flight. I wonder if it is more repetitive because it has to be 'scripted' to some extent to connect with the 3D events? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again have to agree, in my last 1 hour session I've seen Hugo Rodallega, Valon Behrami, and Ricardo Quaresma simply running into the box and scuffing it past the line into the goal, just not reallistic, I say bring back 08, or a better version DOTS!

muncherdave Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Surprised you've only just noticed how crap the ME is Well...it's only really made crap by FM08 standards but it's a massive step down I've always felt.
