Just purchased FMT19 on PC after having a long term save on FM17 and must say I am quite disappointed so far. The game just doesn't seem as smooth as 17 and it doesn't help that the 3d match engine judders a lot, not smooth at all (any ideas on how to solve that?)
I play pretty much for the match itself. Not interested in all the training etc and the only thing I always have input in is transfers and match day so I have a few bugbears compared to FM17 but of course as it's a newer game I am hoping someone may be able to advise on how to cure a few of these bugbears. Also some of these changes may have happened in 18 and I didn't buy that one.
1. Not sure why SI did away with the old white skin. The dark and retro are far too dark. I have downloaded a made white skin in the skinning forum but it's still not quite as good as 17's as I find the match day info is far too small. In 17 I left it on the condition tab and I think you only had condition, goals, assists, ratings and that was about it making it easy to see but now whatever tab you use for the match the info seems overloaded thus making the text very small.
2. When on the tactics screen did moving the tactics pitch to the left and info to the right happen? Has totally confused me.
3. In 17 I used to have highlights on key and a little match box just appeared on the pitch showing whatever you liked which in my case was just match stats but you could still see the pitch. Now it seems if you click stats between highlights the box covers the whole screen and I have had highlights playing in the background but the box won't go away meaning I have to click the home button again to return to highlights. Any ideas?
4. Talking of buttons on 17 you had a pitch tab so you can return to the match at any time, has this gone or is it hiding somewhere?
5. Highlights seem non existent and that's on extended as well. Plenty of shots on goal but the highlights hardly kick in. A key highlights game on 17 was smooth and most of the time showed plenty of action but 19 lags terribly between highlights and it takes a lot of time for any highlight to click back in,. Am I missing a setting where you can choose how long there is between highlights or something? Most of the match rather than watching action I seem to be looking at a stats screen with the words "waiting for the next highlight".
6. And as I said above the ME seems very stutter, not smooth at all. Anyone else had this issue and how to solve it?
7. And cameras. On 17 TV camera was a perfect height and incline now I just cannot seem to get the right height or zoom at all.
If it ain't broke why fix it!!!!
In a nutshell very disappointed considering it's two years since 17 and I must say 17 is IMO miles ahead of 19. I hope if I can iron out a few of the issues it will become better but at the moment I feel 17 was a far superior game and don't get me started on all the new tactics screens, I can't even upload my successful tactic from 17 because it's all changed. I thought Cariello and Mezzala were characters in Spartacus!!!!!
I've played FMT19 since release. Admittedly I'm on iPad but the game is the same I believe - I'll try and answer your questions as best I can:
1. You can revert to a classic/retro skin. On iPad we have the choice of the new skin or the classic one - I haven't tried the classic skin so not sure if its white or not but I imagine it would be.
2.The shift has happened this year. Takes a while to get used to but it's not really a big issue for me. I took the tutorials to get to grips with it properly.
3. You can customise your view on the "match analysis" tab so you can see the information you want to on the main screen (pitch in background but you don't see the game.
4. Just hit the Pitch tab at the top next to "match Analysis"
5. I play on iPad and have had no issues with lagging between highlights and runs smoothly so can't comment on PC version.
6. Again never had an issue with the ME stuttering on iPad
7. I normally use sideline as my default pitch view, have you tried this one?
I really like this version as it suits my needs and love the new tactics setup. As its touch there is no familiarity issue so every tactic should work quickly so you can test different roles as you go.
I don't understand why you would want to upload a tactic that used to work in years gone by? Football is evolving and so is the game. Fair enough if you don't care about a Mezzala, but you still need to know what they do when an opponent uses one. May even be a good thing for you? You sound like Sam Allardyce!
