Heartwork Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 No you're using a quick start which won't have all of the players in the game loaded. You'll be able to load the Cray squad with the full game. WHAT!?!?!? Damnit FrazT, I've just spent the last 20 minutes trying to get a list together in the Data Issues forum and now I don't even know if you need it. Still, it's there is you do, and besides unless you've either nicked CM's info or got in touch with the league/club, I'm not sure how reliable it'll be as there's no-one actually in charge of researching Cray, and I don't know if Laskowski, who's the only researcher I know of in the Ryman League, has seen them until this week when Boreham Wod played us.

SI Staff Ant Farley Posted October 15, 2009 SI Staff Share Posted October 15, 2009 Hi,I'm playing on a Macbook 13'' running 10.5 and I have always played the game in windowed mode. Installed the demo no problem yesterday and switched the display to windowed in preferences but the window that the game displays in is too deep by about 50 pixels or so. As I can't see the bottom of the screen I can't see if I can reduce the size of the window down manually but the main problem is which with the window being too large I'm missing some of the buttons off the bottom of the screen. I've tried changing the resolution of the screen to see if that helps but it didn't work. I know I'm in a small minority playing the game on a Mac but any help solving this problem would be appreciated. It might be worth adjusting your dock settings so that it isn't using auto-hide, open the game in full screen and then switch to windowed. Hopefully that should make the window the right size to be adjusted and you can then switch your dock settings back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrekiejai Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Good to know that it's not just me, if it's not my computer, how did it ever get through the rigorous testing? hope it'll be sorted out. Happens to me too, but not overly concern about it. Everything else is very well done, and I even got the AI to negotiate and offer something less than their initial reply! Good work SI!

TheUsualSuspect9 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I'm not sure if this is a bug and if it has been mentioned before. On the half time team talks when it is 'none' and you 'ask assistant' the players HT rating disappears. Anyone else noticed this? If not can someone give it a go and see if the same happens.

Twellman24 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Only thing (besides that the game crashes and quits in my Mac for no reason during the game even though I have five stars in the graphics system, the dark skin is very smplistic and quasi infantile, and that the ball in 3D spmetimes disappears), I've had two goals against where the striker takes the ball away from the keeper on my Villarreal save. I've not seen this happen two times even during my time as a Villarreal fan (20 years); let alone with a keeper like Diego Lopez. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartwork Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Probably, but it'll be completely unrealistic if a. It's a team such as Chelsea or AC Milan buying them, they only get ready made players at their peaks. b. Liverpool buy a youngster and then actually start playing him in games. @AcidBurn.

SmurfDude Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I'm not going to argue against that, but evenso, in the end, there are still the ME's same mechanics lying underneath. It's no different from any game, in the end, FM is an abstraction of what football really is, but when it really comes down to the mechanics themselves, it's still a workaround rather than an explanation. I'm sure you can do a great deal with the new settings, but there's no way you can further tweak this to your heart's content if you don't understand the game on its most basic level - the exact effect of sliders and tickboxes underneath respectively, which still are the most immediate connection between you and the match engine. It never had to be this vague, and this video demonstrates this nicely. The thing is there isn't really anything wrong with the ME mechanics and how they work. It plays a realistic game of football for the most part. The only problem was applying user logic to those mechanics, which has now been achieved by the overlay of a tactics creator. I don't think it really requires any extra thought than that, it is what it is and it works well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheUsualSuspect9 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 TheUsualSuspect9 - this is an issue we are aware of and are looking into, cheers. Ok cheers buddy. Just want to say a big to everyone at SI. You really have listened to the fans this time and executed everything brilliantly. The tactic creator particually impressed me, works wonders and is really easy to use. The new skin is smart, I prefer the dark one as it adds a kind of shadowed effect. Only thing I'd mention on this would be there a couple of pages that look slightly bland, but still, a nice finish. The updated graphics in 3D look great, if only I had the system to fully appreciate them. Everyone involed in making and developing the game seems to have done a great job, once again, cheers guys. Big from me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very user friendly and the assistant tool is a wicked asset and the list goes on and on. You have converted me back and i salute you.

cornwallgunner Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 First impressions. Likes Look: Much cleaner and readable Speed: Feels fast and responsive to clicks (of course just quick start), but Fm09 was almost unplayable due to slow speed FM2010 a lot lot better. Backroom: More rich in this department Tactics: I like the concept and the way it's easier to relate to real football Player search: Match X/Y is so useful Overview screen: This makes a massive difference to playability. So simple but a great addition. Editor: Can't wait to download more English leagues so I can play Truro City Dislikes Match screens: Almost as if every part of the game was polished expect the matches. *Switching screens is cumbersome *Too many pre-match screens *3D graphics terrible All of those are FM09 problems and I hoped we'd see them polished out, this would have helped playing speed. Overall very good, massively more playable than FM09. Not FM07 playable but much much closer in all respects. FM07 still the most accomplished package for me.

Katarian Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Agree with the above - but I would like the option to have the sliders available. I don't want generic settings. As much as possible I will still be tweaking away and defining my team through each player's mentality. I do think that the 'basic' option should have used the list of options and the 'advanced' should have allowed access to the team mentality sliders etc. Hope the subtlty of tactical options you could create in 09 is still there, but only experiments will tell. Have you looked at the advanced options for the tactics? The only difference is that you can't setup your all of your overall team settings with a slider otherwise it's pretty much identical to FM09 (it is completely identical when you select advanced for individual player settings). The team sliders were pretty useless as most people override it using the individual settings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir_Liam Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I never download the demo so I can't comment on the game yet, but I've hardly read any critical comments about the game, and the few critical ones have mostly been about the new skin, which will inevitably take some getting used to. A complete contrast to all the games of the last few years, so it seems as though it's looking good. Whets my appetite even more for the actual game to be released.

abfc Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Okay still waiting on an answer:) Scouting recommendations seems underrated.
