[FMM18 Tactics feedback]

I personally don't find it too easy. I like the update.  One thing missing though, (perhaps this should be in the 'wish list' bit), but surely it must be possible in current database to be able to assign a marker to an opposition danger man.  I keep being told about danger men that inevitably kill me, but I can't do anything about it!  Being able to assign a man-marker (at least) should be an option in mobile by now.  This should (?) be simple I would have thought, to blunt both this danger player's stats and the those of the assigned marker, and also the effectiveness of this task be subject to certain performance traits such as movement and concentration?  Just so frustrating not being able to manage my team to isolate or deal with dangerous players, as this is fundamental to the game in the real world.  Otherwise the game is great and so very nearly 'there' as the perfect mobile experience, just please give me something I can do that takes into account the specific opposition players.  Cheers!

Could anyone tell me please on what basis is the 'pick team' button assigning players to the team?  Is it fitness level?  If it is (as I suspect) it would be great to be able to 'pick team' using user-assigned other criteria. For example, having won the league with two games to spare, I'd like to be able to quickly 'pick team' by age (youngest first), or even pick team by average game rating..

 

thoughts?

A couple of wished for items please:

1. Pressing tactic should be either 'whole pitch' or 'own half only'. I think more practical and realistic if split that way?

2. Scrolling text for match events, i.e., don't replace the last comment, just add the newer ones above or something, leaving the older comments there for reading - replacing commentary makes it too difficult to follow what's going on and makes it hard to follow the 'story' of the game

3. Match summary at half-time - I need to know if I'm lacking width or too soft in the tackle at a time when I can do something about it - i.e., at half time. This feedback is not possible to ascertain from raw match stats populated during the game.

4. Better trophy cabinet. I'd like it to look a bit more impressive, but that's just me.

5. A 'park the bus' or 'all out attack' tactical option - perhaps just activated within last five minutes of a game or activated via a 'from the bench' audible. Still finding tactics are too conservative when I need everyone up or back

6. An ability to target a particular opposition player for extra attention - i.e., identify the key player and do something about it - man mark or close down

7. Press Conferences - it's a massive part of the job of being a manager, like it or not, so should be included

8. Team talks with global/team morale implications

That's it, just a wish-list from a dedicated player of the game and real world coach

Hello. Please consider adding game (i.e., match) sound. Surely a relatively easy thing to add? Never been passionate one way or the other before but the excellent Football Chairman just added sound to games and it really does add so much in terms of atmosphere. Those important goals are so much more satisfying when accompanied by the roar of the crowd. Without this I find the atmosphere somewhat lacking in comparison.

Also, I've asked this before but as most users of the mobile version are, er, well, mobile, perhaps add the option to listen to music or the radio (link to Talk Sport?) while you play. The silence is rather deafening at the moment with neither in game sound nor the option to listen to something other than the bloke next to me on the bus...

Cheers

A couple of small, and hopefully easy to accomplish ideas for presentation improvement:

1. It would be EXTREMELY helpful to see who was the assist for goals scored on the 'Overview' Screen. i.e., put in brackets perhaps under the scorer who provided the assist. Very helpful to see this I feel and sometimes difficult to get to this important information through player ratings.

2. Instead of replacing the commentary words in the ribbon every time, perhaps you could have two commentary lines, the previous message and then the new commentary. Currently it's hard to keep up or understand the continuity of the commentary where each phrase is replacing the previous one - I'd like to be able to see some history so that I can better understand trends - e.g., x loses the ball, then if another player does, and another etc..

Thanks for listening!

Would you consider two more tactical options? A 'park the bus' defensive tactic and 'all out attack'. Currently when trying to protect a lead the defensive option still results in too many forward runs. I want everyone behind the halfway line with maybe one up front! Similarly with all out attack, I just want two back and everyone else up front. These extreme tactical options don't exist at present and the current 'attacking' and 'defensive' settings are more an overall team mentality and not what I need when desperate.

Thanks for listening

Cheers

Being able to watch the cup draws. Would be exciting!

[Semi-Official FMM Wish List]

Hi. My suggestions / wish list:

1. 'Top-Down' heat map for matches to see coverage from both left and right sides, as well as defending, midfield, attack zones as is the case at present

2. Match analysis at Half-time to enable adjustments to be made based on '+'s and '-',s so far during the match

3. Updated cup screens / news items - just graphically, to make the cups look like the actual cups being won, (perhaps their image is copyrighted?) for later viewing in a trophy cabinet

4. TEAM instructions / pre-match pep talk - i.e., a global team interaction, option rather than just for individual players. e.g., express, in a similar way to the PC version, your expectations for the team and your team 'mood' could be affected this way for better or worse.

5. Some kind of end of season 'sum-up' or response from the Board regarding targets achieved / missed. The season seems to just 'fizzle out' at present, a bit of an anti-climax after winning the European cup, FA cup and finishing 3rd in league. Would be nice at least to have some commentary on press reaction to the season and Board's input to get a sense of closure of the season.

I'm a massive fan of the franchise and have achieved great success over ten seasons with Wolves. Thank you for all the work you do to make this game so special.

Cheers

How about providing the full time match analysis at half time as well? This would be good information for people to make quick changes to tactics based on assessed overall match performance of the team. Presumably the data exists to provide this information at half time based on data from the first half?
