Enjoying the game.
A small thing, I keep subbing the wrong player at half time, you have to click slightly above the player you want to replace or it subs the player below.
Not a big deal but there doesn't appear to be a way to 'undo' half time substitutions when you make an error.
Also, giving an individual player post match team talk now takes 3 clicks instead of one. Starts to grate after a while.
I've noticed that when I drag a sub in the sub list it's not where the dragged icon is that the sub occurs but rather where the mouse pointer is. Is that what you mean?
Regarding individual player team talks, the good thing about this is that you can click multiple players in one go and tell them the same thing instead of having to do it one by one.

The definition of empty is "nothing inside"
It might be printed on the inside of the box. It's still empty?

Like a lot of the new features and the fact the game is quicker when not in a match.
I take it the match time issue has been raised? 7 minutes my last match.
Also does anyone know if you can skip through the match like in previous versions? Last couple of FM’s you could click to change tactic and it would speed ahead to the end of the half.
Thanks
Chris
That is news to me. What is that? You click on change tactics and it instantly goes to the end of the half?

always pro SI this guy ... of course its a BETA and it will have bugs, but 2 weeks prior to a game being released you would expect a lot less as it takes time and care to fix them all! Particularly bugs where the game is really slow or lags should not be happening, I haven't even bothered to give a single feedback as many bugs will not be fixed anyway, i am enjoying the game as is but gotta say its a bit annoying to see ALL your replies pro SI... very weird indeed.
So, can we classify you as anti-SI then?
Now, I don't know exactly how things work at SI but one scenario might be this: The beta-branch of FM was released even though the team had already identified and was working on several bugs/performance issues. The point of the beta was to test things that simply can't be tested without thousands upon thousands of different computer specs being available. Not viable without an open beta. So even though the beta has it fair share of bugs that the large masses help to identify, there might be a bunch of them that was already known and under investigation and as usual we will most likely see a very hefty patch on launch.
Just a theory of course.

Do you make tactical changes in the last 20 minutes of a game?
I've started to. Adding retain possession and lowering the tempo is usually two changes I do, but I rarely do that if I have a 2-0 lead. Then the AI usually get 2-3 quick goals and any changes I intended to do to keep my lead are pointless.

If you think it's overtuned, raise it (with pkms) in the ME Issues Forum for SI to take a look.
I'm not sure it is, I'm absolute garbage at this game. Just wanted to see if anyone else noticed the AI going bananas in the late minutes. Seems too consistant. But as I said, I'm worthless. 5th save with Liverpool now, got sacked every time.

I'd love to know how they do it, as any time I'm chasing a game like that, the clock runs down with no further highlights. If the AI can do it, so can we. Be good to find out!
Indeed!

I was 3-0 up against Ipswich, who had 2 shots on target all game going into the 3rd minute of five mins of injury time.
It finished 3-2.
Yeah, everything gets so much more dangerous. I mean how often do anyone score from 30-35 meters on a free-kick? I've had it happen thrice against me in half a season.
I do get that teams trailing will go nuts but it's just so extremely different. If they play that much better with the attacking tactics they apply in the end of a game they shouldn't really use anything else.0 -
So whats going on in the last 20 minutes of games where you hold the lead against the AI? It's just an insane amount of goals for pretty much no reason. Random free-kicks from 35m going straight in, the AI all of a sudden putting away every shot on goal.
Every team turns into Barca for the last 20
Had 2-1 vs Hoffenheim in the 76. It ended 2-4
Had 2-0 against Arsenal in the 69th. It ended 2-4 (They scored 2 in extra-time)
Had 1-0 against Stoke in the 80th. It ended 1-30 -
Anyone noticed that there is a lot of injury time both after 45 and 90? I often get around 5min of extra time even if few thing have happened. We had 1 injury, 1 yellow and 1 goal in the second half and the ref added 5min. This happens a lot.

Could do with some tweaking to dynamics where the manager isn't under constant pressure just because he is trying to be assertive. Surely Kolarov/Hart were influential but the other players at City din't make a fuss of it. I think the whole selling an influential player part is exaggerated in terms of reaction of the other players.
Regarding the dynamics and players reacting heavily on influental players being sold I think we all have to accept that our managers in the game are new to the manager part when we create them. So an untested manager swoops in and kick out a world-class manager (for example Guardiola) and then starts selling influental and highly influental players. Why wouldn't players be upset?
A more fair test of the dynamics system would be when we have played 5+ seasons as a manager at a top level, maybe even won some large trophies and then getting the job of say City. Would the response be as extreme or would the welcome be another one?
What will happen when a manager have had success with a club for several years? Will selling an highly influental player make the same ripples or will they simply trust the manager?2 -

Yeah but it doesn't make them right. It's obvious the UI has significant issues, these 'things are fine' posts don't help at all.
I didn't say it did. I just expressed a different view.

This is like being introduced to only vanilla ice cream and thinking it's the best flavor, being ignorant of any other.
I was specifically giving this view because there have been a few outcries about "If it's this bad for me, imagine what it's like for a completely new player!" - A new player would be ignorant of any other version or flavor if you wish.

I introduced a colleague of mine to FM this year and he instantly got hooked (47 year old, not computer-savvy, never played computer games to any larger extent, got serious problems with finding the right buttons on the controller in FIFA18).
Just to give a different view on the whole "UI is hell, imagine what it's like for new players?". He got no problem using it as soon as he got going and with some friendly hints from me where he could find the things he was looking for. I think his biggest problem so far have been to comprehend what is actually possible to do, to understand how deep the rabbit hole goes. But there has been zero complaining about UI.

Well, you can call it bad luck but that's what I've got after 4 (!) friendlies, including against my B team. Of course 3 of 4 are minor injuries, but 1 injury per match... I don't think this is realistic. And most of these players had "low injury risk" in medical center. I'm terrified whould whould have happened if they had "high risk"... And these were only pre-season friendlies which should not have such aggression.
Oh, forgot to say - for Messi this is the second injury in 4 games... The first one was also minor. So, that is 5 injuries in 4 games.
Do you play with Close Down More instructions? I noticed that if I push the close down instructions before the players start to get match fit I get A LOT more injuries in the pre season, this time I only added close down instructions once most players reached match fitness of around 80%.
Close Down More increase intensity quite a lot and might increase injury risk as well. Seems more likely in this version than FM17 - and I think it feels realistic! Don't go pressing-bananas in the first few games.

The match UI is awful. People have mentioned most things already, but when you want to minimise widgets that you have put on the screen, they don't automatically go to the top/bottom of the page anymore, and are just stuck floating and in the way. See Images. It worked perfectly fine on FM17, and for some reason doesn't work on this version. So many backwards steps have been taken, the interface is so much worse than it was.
FM18
FM17
On FM18 when you maximise the widget, it just opens below the screen, it's a complete mess.
Heard of beta and bugs? That might be just that.

+ Love the match engine so far
+ Medical centre, dynamics and tactics screen are excellent
+ Don't mind the new scouting at all, only annoyance is that filters are behind an extra set of buttons
- Nothing really stands out except the slow menus that most likely will be fixed by the first patch.

worried about the download speed of the Beta , can anyone remember last year and what speeds it downloaded at? hopefully it can reach full speed with that many fans pre purchasing the game
Steam can handle it.

I've just given the green light for the beta. The process from now takes 24 hours or so. So you should expect it this time tomorrow.
#FM18Seems it will be out late tonight/early tomorrow then. Awesome.

Didn't one of the last FIFA Managers ever produced contain Team Dynamics as a new feature? The same year or the year after FIFA Manager was no more
I for one is looking forward to this, it does feel relevant for a manager to know about social groups and hierarchs to some extent. I don't think it's as gimmicky as social media but rather quite interesting!

The whole social groups and hierarchy decided it for me. I love the idea of that

Something is off with away games. Nothing changes play-wise, we have the same kind of domination as home games but we constantly lose points and the goals the opposition score are very often insane ones. Long shots that go in once in a lifetime, ball bouncing like crazy, incorrect penalties, shots that goes straight between the arms of the GK and many more. It's like the "luck"-variable goes upp from 15% to 95% for the opposition during away games.
Likewise for me, I almost never drop points at home. No matter the opposition, home just feels too strong.
