  1. I'll think about it - but as explained earlier there are downsides to including it in the game as well as upsides. (and yes it'd be a tad more complicated, but equally this isn't something that could appear overnight - adding this isn't quite as simple as you might think)
  2. If I do it - I'm leaning towards making it a separate game mode so that people who are playing normally aren't tempted by it for the reasons I indicated - eg. make it a 'chairman' mode or similar .. would that suit you?
  3. On my list of things to look at. i've heard of this happening - but not got details so been unable to track it down so far, even knowing the leagues etc. involved would help as its definitely not common. If you can get me a save game with this in then it would be hugely helpful. This will be fixed in a forthcoming update. This hasn't changed to my knowledge - any chance of you sending in your save with a note to check (it might me your kids just haven't got the potential you think they have? ... or need to mature some more before improving further). I think that's a tad harsh myself, but obviously you're entitled to your opinion. (I've personally played through two complete 30 season games without coming across any of these issues tbh and our review scores in the stores aren't awful, so I presume not everyone is hating things as much as you seem to be) PS - We're somewhat busy and so can't always respond instantly to threads, please be patient when you ask for feedback (I'm actually on holiday today believe it or not, about to jump on a flight to watch my eldest daughter in a play).
  4. Its something I've seriously considered over the years - the issue with quick result is that it tends to disconnect people from the game and their players, for example you're hoping to win the league but things go badly in your first 4 matches and you start hitting 'instant result to hurry along to the next transfer window as this season is a bust, when you reach it you've not really got any idea who has been performing for you beyond their stats and they're reduced to just numbers with no idea of how they've truly behaved. In contrast some of my most fun experiences have been where things have gone 'wrong' initially and I've been so upset with my midfielders poor performances that I've benched him and put on a 16 year old youth player who comes good ... a star being born, if I'd been 'quick resulting' then that would never have happened because he'd have never got the chance. (so not saying 'never' but there are reasons its not present)
  5. I'll take another look next week - but I've played a lot of FMM24 and its not been a big issue for me on either of my 30 season saves so far (I've only had a few blow outs and those have invariably involved an unprofessional youngster so I accepted them as fair enough, perhaps its too common in those circumstances?) ... most of my partnerships fail when I sell the mentor I find
  6. Generally choose mentors who are in a similar position and who have either complimentary personalities to their mentee or whom have personality traits you'd like to see the mentee improve in ... ie. professional mentor will sometimes improve his mentees personality.
  7. You'd probably be better off asking on a marketing related forum or by linking to relevant people on linkedin and asking them, I'm afraid the chances of you getting constructive feedback on this sort of topic here isn't hugely likely (I'm just a designer/developer myself - I leave promoting our products to other people who are more knowledgable in that area).
  8. Just a quickie - double check you're logged into the store you purchased from WITH the account you made the purchase with (this is the most common cause of issues).
  9. Fix should be incoming for the editing issue. (with regards to the other, I'll see if we can sneak that in for 24, but no promises as I'm already rather busy with the current plans)
  10. Thanks - yeah it sounds really 'odd' ... definitely something to work out for sure.
  11. All of the above would be useful - but especially: 13/06 (two days after the final game of the season); 30/06 before the sacking (pressing continue gets the news of board call emergency meeting); (basically I say 'all' because predicting what the issue is and when it occurs isn't really feasible without more information - I 'think' the two I mention will give enough information, but ...)
  12. If you have a save game before the sacking then that would be incredibly helpful on working out what happened .. thanks in advance.
  13. It means they sometimes make bad decisions - so expect a no-look pass back to the keeper by a defender now and again to end up at a strikers feet etc. ... This is worse if combined with something like high aggression and can lead to violent conduct etc.
  14. If you can send your save game in then we can take a look at it and see if we can fix your issue - this sort of thing usually isn't the game itself but an issue with the storage device that you're using (ie. bad sector on it or the device powering down during a save occuring).
  15. You might want to post in the FM Touch/Console forum to get the most accurate replies (this one is for FMM).
  16. I'd recommend just getting hold of an iPad if you can and playing on that, that way you can play anywhere (its what I do tbh).
  17. If a player has international experience it raises his profile (slightly more likely to get interest) and also means that he's used to playing in larger matches and so will handle match pressure slightly better than he would have before.
  18. Hellooooo! (if you as a manager have international experience then it will help slightly with how other teams and players will perceive you ... ie. if you've never managed at a high level then getting a top club is harder.
  19. FMM is a bit more 'forgiving' - a lot however really depends on your patience (ie. are you stubborn enough to stick with the other games until you suss things out even if it goes badly initially), preferred device/playing style as much as anything. (in my 'personal' time I have to admit I play FMM more than the others, this is mainly because I have a fairly active/chaotic life and find myself out and about with small bits of time to spare sporadically - as such having my iPad and FMM with me at all time suits me down to a T)
  20. Would you mind letting me know what device and OS version you're using please - we'll look into any issues reported obviously.
  21. It should happen automatically - I've added checking this onto my list of things to do ...
  22. Players who are in the reserves aren't interacting with the first team regularly so have limited influence on the squad dynamics, this allows a manager to mitigate the negative impact of a player by sending them to train in the reserves (much as irl). I've made a note to try and make this more self-explanatory to the user - ie. a note displaying in game, 'while Kas2 is a prestigeous player he is currently training in the reserves which limits the impact his personality has on the squad.' .... or similar.
  23. Thanks for letting us know - we're investigating and will get a hot-fix out as soon as possible.
  24. i'm afraid if you're expecting an instant fix you'll be disappointed and have to be a little more patient - we need to ascertain the cause and a probable fix, then get it tested - this won't be an instant thing (sorry). I will try and remember to update this thread with progress though as we look into things.
  25. Thanks much appreciated - I'll take a look once its shuffled in my direction.
