TopToffee Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I realise this, it just seems so obvious and so easy to fix!! If I noticed it after an hour or so of playing the game, I'm sure a tester must have noticed it at some point, given how often you have to use this part of the screen....and to be fair, this isnt cosmetic. If you have news you need to read, but you miss it because you're not told about it.... cosmetic might not be the right word, i meant more that it's not exactly a game breaker. Also, it may be easy to fix, but equally, it might not be. Also, builds will most likely have been being issued to testers up until a short time before going gold (each containing new bug fixes)... what's to say this didn't crop up in one of the very final builds, and had to be prioritised out?

continentalmanager3 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Ok now although I'm not totally in love with the new FM like a lot on here, props off to the SI team for what is obviously a hell of an effort for this years game. One thing that is impossible to not like is the new speed of the game. A lot of work must of gone into this and it's playing like a dream. An absolute joy. I'm not hugely fussed on the UI though. To be honest I found the one in past versions pretty good, but perhaps this was the reason for the slow performance, so maybe a whole new UI was needed for speed to be increased. I'm sure I'll get used to it though. I'm not a lover of the attribute colours either. If I do get the full game when it's out I'll probably change these myself to something like the attribute colour in the Flex skin. I find a yellow/orange attribute colour scheme so much easier and pleasant to look at than a blue or green scheme. The tactic creator though is a fantastic idea.

thegreb1 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I've experienced some really bad decisions in the 3D match engine. A fair few blatent offsides (when I say blatent, I mean 5-10 yards offside) which have led to goals which weren't disallowed. Also some really harsh challenges which were definite fouls, but the referee didn't blow up for them. Also had a couple of ridiculous goals. A cross from near the corner spot floated into the goal and the keeper didn't even move. Also had a keeper run to the wing to sliding tackle someone eventhough there were defenders covering the area, and the keeper missed which ended up with a goal.

stevvy Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Impressed so far, couple of minor bugs (inbox saying no unread items when there are some, etc) but I note that these have been picked up already which is fair enough. Not really looked properly yet as I've only played a few matches, but I'm hoping there isn't still a daft gap between making your substitutions on the tactics screen, and them coming on in the game (really should happen the first time the ball goes out, plus an option to cancel, eg if you want to make your 3rd change, and before you can, your keeper gets sent off, so you need to bring the sub keeper on), but overall I'm impressed so far. On this form, if the demo goes as well as I hope it will, I'll be buying the full game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
watsonsclarets Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 very very good played my first game away v stoke and guess what rory delap throws the ball in 2 times and they score from it 2 times got a 2-2 draw bloody good stuff si my only worry is maybe the ball over the top is a little to effective but then again i do play counter and my lone striker does have 18 for pace. early days yet but iam impressed with almost everything new apart from the skin i find it a bit gimmicky but hey new ones will be along soon time to sleep now work then fm tomorrow sounds good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IOMLS Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 It's been absolutely brilliant so far. I think I have rotated my squad and tactics in each of the first 10 games and it is so easy to adapt to the different players using the new tactics editor. Every time I change the tactics it is noticable in the 3D match engine and I am loving how they play how you want them to. The interface is brilliant although I am sure there are many things I am not using still and i'll familiarise myself more with them. The processing speed and game flow is just amazing. It is such a huge improvement. Just a few minor things I've noticed so far: 1. My new assistant manager disagrees with every piece of advice given in the backroom meetings (really every single one) but then when i see his feedback going into a match he usually provides the exact same advice as he just disagreed with in the meeting. I can't decide if that is a bug or if he just has a character trait to be argumentative. It's not really major just a little confusing and doesn't really affect my game play. 2. The new match analysis is really nice, however on a few occasions I see that a player has made for example 10 passes with 7 complete but only 8 total passes are shown on the display. Now and then it will have 7 passes with 5 complete in the stats but on the display there will be 6 completed of the 7. Again it doesn't make much difference to me just a small thing i noticed. 3. In the press conferences, the personality of the reporter is always n/a. Is this simply because it is the demo and they are random reporters? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Macklam Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 So need to get to bed as up at 5:30am for work. After being asleep for most of the evening (thanks work and England) I finally got to look at the demo. Not played a game but have found a really interesting feature. We know about the custom screens we can do but also if we goto a header say Other on a Player Search if you move the cursor to one of the words Position we can drag everything either left or right and all the screen adjust with what you're doing making it all neater to view rather than big gaps. Nice little feature SI. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackmlio Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Just played the demo for an hour and i must say it looks and feels fantastic so many good things you have done just amazing great job!.I'm definitely buying the game.I have one issue tho even with last years game the 3d match engine runs really laggy for me but the rest of the game is fine and quick.What would the problem be and how could i improve and stop the lagging because 3d looks even better.

TiltonArmy Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I've played around 10 games so far;+ Windowed Mode - Finally Dark Skin - Very nice 3D Engine - Looks good Match analyses - Impressive Switching trough pages - Much faster - Specially the player search page Backroom feedback - Interesting and very good Notes system - awesome GUI - looking very clean, i like it! The whole game is faster News system - Is quite nice - But i don't think i will look much there Stadiums & Sideline view - Nice Injury marker in 3D Engine - Very nice Tactic Wizard & Options - Good! - National teams U21 - I can't manage The Netherlands U21 for example. (is this because of the demo?!) Filter Search players (National player's list) - If you search for players that can play for your U19 team with the Filter, there are still players that can't play in the next game. For example Bojan. Also if i want to register the players it says: Players above the age of 19 are not playable, but all my players are 19 or under 19?! Still not subbing on the first ball out. If the ball goes against an advertising board, and the ball goes back to the goal, than the ball goes through the net. (Sorry for my english) How do you get the windowed and dark skin?????

Phil Macklam Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Still not gone to bed just 4 hours till I get up for work. Playing my first match. The touchline shouts layout is very disappointing. I prefer the polished look of them in a right hand bar on FML. Can we not have the same FML look but in a drop down box then use the shouts? I think unless you've played FML it's hard to explain but they just look better than FM10's one. It looks a little less polished. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vet Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 - Any Si thoughts on customizable matchview, instead of predefined(zooming/360)? Its so easy to implement. - 5 stars is too little. It makes me feel that there is not alot of difference between players(star-wise). - I miss the stats screen. Is it somewhere or did you scratch it for analysis? If you did - bring it back. - It's nice with audience, but Kevin Toms-like 2 animations? This isn't 1983. This might be mostly a spreadsheet program, but seriously. I know you haven't had alot of time to create this one, so do even better in FM11. - I might remember wrong as I am pretty old, but as far as I can remember the old versions had fans singing. I know people make noises, but it doesn't sound like noise. It does here - just like previous versions. - Ditto, but why not reintroduce commentators? - It seems to be a size issue, when it appears there could be thrice as many players on the field to make it cramped like in the real world. I love the goalnet in the game - nice touch. Just kidding there is more to like: - The player stats are toned down a bit, which is good. - The game stats are more versatile and realistic. - Tactics is just what I had hoped for, as I was a big critic against Tactic Manager. - The weather change is a very nice touch. I sincerely hope that it is more region based, so the rest of the world doesn't have english weather. - Overall it is very polished, even if I don't find the UI intuitive, but it is an improvement. I still haven't played long, but wanted some SI response on my Matchview question, and I think it drowned - or just the wrong forum for suggestions before retail release?

The UI is pretty confusing atm but it's simply a matter of getting used to it. One question. When viewing a player's report card after he's scouted, FM09 had an option to examine the report card at the various positions he can play at. I don't seem to be able to do that on FM10?
