Jay-Producer Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Get scouts to tell you if the player they have scouted would fit into your team/tactics TBH thats impossible because some players can adapt and others cant. Plus other factors have to be taken into account klike hope they are settling in, who they are playing along side etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popider Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I've got a few ideas for what I'd like to see in the next installment. Let me know what you think... I am now in the year 2015 with Rangers and have a team ranked 8th in Europe. My team's reputation is still "National" however, as opposed to continental or worldwide. Also, the SPL now has 3 champions league and 3 uefa cup slots, but players still dont "like" to move to Scotland... What I'd like to see firstly is the ability for your league reputation to improve. Therefore regenerated Scottish players could potentially become wonderkids if you do as I've done and end up with a higher quality of league (with more european slots and therefore more money). Similarly, maybe TV money and sponsorships should increase depending on said reputation. Also, I'd like to see you being able to boost your team's commercial reputation in each continent. One thing Celtic have very astutely done in real-life is as follows: they have played friendly tournaments in america, have signed a japanese hero (Nakamura) and .. well thats it really. In FM it would be great if you could build your team as a global brand by playing friendlies, entering unofficial tournaments, buying great players from foreign countries. For a simple example if you signed Shevchenko, you'd increase your reputation in Ukraine, sell more jerseys, get reputation points and maybe be paid more to play a friendly tour in said country. Similarly, if your reputation in said country is high, you could have youth players coming through from there. This way even when your team is the best, you can still get better. It'd also be great if you could change the catchment area and the prize money of a competition in the editor (though this could be abused I suppose). I personally would love to see the English and Scottish league cups done away with in real life. They suffer from poor attendances, low prestige and general all-round second bestness to the FA cups. So how about firing into your data editor and making something you really want to see? A british league cup in my eyes would be great. Whenever Rangers or Celtic play an English team in Europe its a terrific occasion and the home nations rivalry is one to be savoured in football. In FM, it'd be fantastic. The only possible drawback I can see is a fixture congestion as the competition would be somewhat longer with more teams to draw upon. All in all, I love the FM world. But there are so many things in it that are still unflexible and you notice that some 7 or 8 years into a game. The Scottish league's reputation is as good as it will ever get, the national side will never have any world class players and your team has reached a reputation which it can't surpass. Where to now, FM? I have started another game with a lower league team, maybe these things won't matter to me as much in league one... But if I ever get Hereford to the Champions League Final, I'll no doubt be back making the same points! Also, is it possible for a player to become an Icon or a Legend at the club? I've had players for 7-8 years and they're still just noted as "favoured personnel" ... Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pornaldo Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 How about giving players instructions as to how selfish you want them to be- take a Heskey-Owen partnership for example, you'd ideally want Owen to be selfish and Heskey to look to create opportunities for his team mates Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brambi Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I think it'd be quite cool if you could see two figures in a suit by the subs, that were you and the opposing manager, sometimes coming out and standing on the touchline and if it is like the actual manager just sitting in the dugout all game like soem do.

I've always wanted that myself. If we get the two guys with the stretcher it shouldn’t be hard to add two managers. If you wanted to get crazy, put a 4th official there for them to stand next to to give the look of a complaint. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
addicted86 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 If you click on a player with that injury the information is in their injury section: e.g. "has potential knee injury." I do however, agree that this could also be mirrored in the Ass Man feedback section. this is all well and good, but how does "has potential knee injury" help us make a decision? basically, when someone develops an injury during a match, we should be able to access three things: 1) physio assessment of injury 2) injury history 3) how does the player feel? does he want to stay on or not? - if he is a flashy foreigner he may want to come off even if there is nothing wrong with him. we could then give him a kick up the rear or whatever. or, it could be a club captain trying to play through pain, and we could be forced to take him off even if he doesnt want to team talks team talks are currently a lottery really, and need to be made more organic. lots of people have mentioned team talks, and i think most of us agree they need to be changed/removed/improved options such as speech from the captain, private chat with player, etc. generally more options, or let the options we are given be more specific.

BenArsenal Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 An idea which I have already mentioned in a couple of other threads: I wish that clubs can have the option of sending players who don't have a work permit to clubs that are not feeders, in order to get a work permit. Because this does happen in real life. Liverpool sent Mark Gonzalez to Real Sociedad to gain a WP, and currently have Sebestian Leto at Olympiakos to do the same. I don't think either of those are Liverpool's feeders. Man U also sent Manucho to Panathinaikos last season for the same reason, despite already having a Belgian feeder (Antwerp). As far as I know, Panathinaikos aren't Man U's feeder as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PjW_JJJ Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I’d like to see a game that doesn’t crash when you go into a match. A game where your players aren’t assumed to be total morons. A game where it transfers correctly between the match highlights and info screens after you make tactical changes instead of getting stuck on one or the other for evermore. A game where it doesn’t take hours of guesswork just to get you players to get shots on target. How anyone can play this in its current state is beyond me.

Roo Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 A small idea here Instead of creating managers, it could be fun to take the role of an actual manager. Sometimes I feel reluctant to take on a club that's just hired a new manager, as it would seem somewhat unrealistic, that he would be fired the next day. The idea of being a well-known manager would also be kind of fun, as there would be guys having you as favourite/least favourite personnel, which could create some interesting scenarios.

broonm28 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Two things I would like to see 1) The ability to tell a player he goes on loan or he packs his bags. I hate having a young player needing and wanting first team experience refusing a loan I have arranged. I am the boss and I need to be able to enforce my decisions. I recently released a player for refusing loans but to have it part of the game would be great. 2) The ability to "take team on holiday" I had a 15 day window and an exhausted squad. I wanted to give them all a week away to rest and have fun together (minus the internationals of course) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leedsforever Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 - 'Cuts inside' box on the specific player tactic instructions, much like the 'Free role' box. - When getting a scout report on a player, have a role for the staff listed in brackets so you know if they are a coach or scout. - Continue to advance the 3D match engine with better graphics and better detail than just height, hair colour and skin tone. - Also improve tricks on the 3D match engine rather than a player just running past an opponent. - Be able to simply control the U18 squad of a team only - I'd love to manage the Arsenal U18s without managing the first team squad.

Guest Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 A contract clause allowing me to freely apply for jobs with either my favourite club or those in a higher division without the threat of being sacked. An option for valid parent/feeder arrangments only, it can be done as we have a valid takeovers option in 09 preventing tycoon takeovers in Germany. More flexabilty with work permits, the Home Office just isn't as strict as FM suggests. The option to comment about a refs general performance to be reintroduced, at present I'm asked about a single decision & that might be the only thing he got right all game, if he gets a 3 rating I want to moan about him & if he gets a 9 or 10 I'd like to praise him. Bring back the German regional leagues, if SI can give us the CFA leagues in France why not the fourth tier in Germany? The option to change my season target upwards come January to get more transfer funds if things are going better than anticipated. That'll do for now.

DanGLiverpool Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Yeah IIRC the comment about the ref thing was in one of the CM's, 00 or 01 I think, was quite a good feature. Also, they had an option to request a postponement, which is good. Glad postponements are back in FM, a good thing to have, especially in the lower leagues.

That reminds me, don't restrict postponements to waterlogged pitches, why should I have to play on frozen pitches in -8 degree conditions & spend the whole match praying my players come though it with only a few ice burns.

reillyg Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 This is an idea i have i'm not sure if it have been mentioned before. The concept i would like too see added is some sort of coaching badge scheme that players can do. So once a season during the off season we have the option to go on a course to do a coaching badge and improve our attrubutes. There could be different options of which area you want to look at, attacking, defencive, tactics, man management. So you would choose what you want to do then you have to mabye watch a passage of play and answer questions on it. Mabye you have to watch some clips and identify the playmaker and if you do it correctly you get so many marks and if you get enough points you pass and your attributes get boosted. This could mean that the human managers could have attribute profiles like coaches and could be a member of the coaching staff, it would also enable the player to tailor him or herself to how they want them, and attacking master, or a tactical genius. It wouldnt be a major addition but it would add somthing to the game that i would enjoy. What are you thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 - On the tactics screen for attacking free-kicks, have an option under left and right to shoot. (How obvious is that!?!?!). Adding to this I'd like a section for listing players that I never want to see taking corners & freekicks. The present system doesn't rotate the listed takers enough to make it a usable option so time after time I end up seeing AI selected players doing nothing witrh the dead ball.

parklife fc Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 A few of these may of been mentioned before. Also a lot of this will relate to the lower leagues. A liitle negotiation with the board, example coaches if I want 50 damn coaches and I'm under wage budget then don't limit me to 2 only! Also there does not seem to be common sense re player/coaches - I tried to sign a veteran player to be a player/coach and it was blocked, for more money he signed as just a player.............makes no sense?!?! The press I know they are the bane of some peoples lives but I would like to see this developed more, it is a struggle for lower league clubs to raise local press interest but a good cup run should bring much more interest (some of the questions are mad as has been discussed before) Player interaction, I should be able to chat to players about various issues - on the training ground or in my office. Players should come to you for a talk about various things - these are mostly kids/young men who know little about life and the manager is a father figure. Fan interation - every club has a fans forum and we should be ble to check out what they think (if we want too) Managers development - maybe a short questionaire at the start of the game to show a bit more of your own personality into the game. I also thing the idea of spending your money has merit, not the sims and nothing wonderful just something different to aim for. When winning - give us SOMETHING!?!?!? I dunno a picture of the cup we have just won or scene of fans celebrating or something to give us a glow of self approval. Training - more of an overview eg AM takes care of the details you just say improve the teams X or players Y Some sort of interview for jobs rather than yes or no! Ability to set staff as MY favourites Loan backs, player ultimatums, moan at refs etc etc A 'Quick' game option a few short challenges you can play for a couple of hours rather than epic saves. None of these are vital to the game but this is a 'wish' list of add ons - not for everyone and some people won't like any of them! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crouchaldinho Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Just a few things I would like to see in a future FM: A few of my ideas: 1) Flexible additional rivalries (if you take a club up a few divisions it picks up other local clubs as 'rivals' if they play regularly enough to build up a rivalry). For instance, I regularly play with St. Albans City and if I managed to get them in the same division as Luton Town and played this 'local derby' enough to build up a rivalry, it would be nice to see this featured in the game. 2) More than one club favourite for managers (say, up to 5?) This would enable a manager to specify clubs in other countries, for instance, which may have an impact upon his career. 3) Ability to add favourite clubs and favourite players after a certain time has passed in charge of that club or player. More interest for long-term games. If you've spent 15 years managing a team and they have found a place in your heart, you should be able to say so in the game. Furthermore, it would be great to be able to add favourite players so that perhaps if you jump ship they are more likely to join you at your new club. 4) An 'ideal job' alert system. Simple idea this and could be used in conjunction with the favourite clubs option. You make a list of clubs or national teams that you would love to manage in your save. These are your dream jobs. Everytime the position becomes available, or when the current manager's position is in question, you will get a reminder. No longer will your favourite job escape you because you forgot to look at the job screen every week. 5) The ability to tell your scout to just keep scouting England, for instance, without him coming back and saying 'I'm finished' all of the time. Right now you have to scroll through his assignments and click for him to continue. 6) Add all highly recommended players to my current shortlist: linked to the above, I would really like the ability to add all of my scout's highly recommended players to my current shortlist easily and without having to look at the reports and then select the ones that I want. 7) This is one of my biggest wishes ever - the ability to test new tactics out at a training match between, say, your reserves/youth and your first team. Right now, the only way to test tactics is to do it in a game and that can often result in a barren spell while you perfect your new system. Any thoughts or additions? C.

Infonote Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I would like to add the ability to provide your staff and even the manager opportunity to go to training courses. E.g. you allow a coach to take 2 weeks leave to get a coaching license which then improves his skills. The manager can also take courses to improve non-tevhnical attributes like man management and motivation for example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike7077 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Flexible additional rivalries (if you take a club up a few divisions it picks up other local clubs as 'rivals' if they play regularly enough to build up a rivalry). For instance, I regularly play with St. Albans City and if I managed to get them in the same division as Luton Town and played this 'local derby' enough to build up a rivalry, it would be nice to see this featured in the game. This would be quite realistic. Cambridge United and Histon are a good example. A few years ago, Cambridge were a Football League club and Histon were a tiny village team way down the English system. However, Cambridge have dropped to the Blue Square Premier and Histon have climbed to the same league, and there is now quite a strong rivalry between them that wasn't there before. It does happen. 2) More than one club favourite for managers (say, up to 5?) This would enable a manager to specify clubs in other countries, for instance, which may have an impact upon his career. This is an option I would take if it was there. I think you're right to suggest a restriction, although you'd need to be careful you didn't fill your quota in the first six months! 3) Ability to add favourite clubs and favourite players after a certain time has passed in charge of that club or player. More interest for long-term games. If you've spent 15 years managing a team and they have found a place in your heart, you should be able to say so in the game. Furthermore, it would be great to be able to add favourite players so that perhaps if you jump ship they are more likely to join you at your new club. Seems like an extension of the previous suggestion, but it's another one I like. 4) An 'ideal job' alert system. Simple idea this and could be used in conjunction with the favourite clubs option. You make a list of clubs or national teams that you would love to manage in your save. These are your dream jobs. Everytime the position becomes available, or when the current manager's position is in question, you will get a reminder. No longer will your favourite job escape you because you forgot to look at the job screen every week. Another good idea! However, I think there would need to be a filter in place so that you were alerted specifically to jobs you had a realistic chance of getting. No point being alerted about the availability of the Inter job if you're managing Newport County. 5) The ability to tell your scout to just keep scouting England, for instance, without him coming back and saying 'I'm finished' all of the time. Right now you have to scroll through his assignments and click for him to continue. To be honest, I don't know why this isn't there in the first place
