Katarian Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Only just got the Vanilla Demo but there is one thing I've seen straight away. I like the way positions are now shown as Midfielder (Left) / D (L), M © at the top of the screen, but for consistancy could you make the position show up that way when you have disabled all Player and Staff pictures? Probably not many people play without the pictures but I do and that is where I look for the players positions rather then top of the screen. Shows what I mean better then I can explain. I'd like it to be consistant everywhere I guess the Position column when looking at your squad is too small to allow that to happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RomaRulez Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Two impressions so far, keeping in mind I haven't actually gotten to play a match on the pitch yet.... 1) The new skin is nice but for someone who has poor vision such as myself it's very hard to navigate because the mouse pointer blends into the white background. 2) I guess I'm not understanding the new contract negotiation system. Maybe someone can explain it for me? When I get to the screen to offer a contract the only offers I can make are either what the player requested or by pressing the "suggest terms" button. If I make any change to any aspect of the original offer or the suggested offer the "make offer" button isn't available to press. How is this contract negotiations when you're forced into only 2 options? I doubt a real negotiation works this way. "It's either offer A or offer B or we can't talk.". Where's the negotiations?

The suggest terms is the negotiation... You are indicating you disagree with the initial terms he set, and are offering new ones. If he agrees, then you can make an offer. You're not just sending out an offer and hoping he signs, you're conversing to reach an agreement, at which point he is either likely to sign, or is satisfied with the offer from your club but is going to go away and consider offers from other clubs before deciding which of his offers are the best.

I can even view the original demand by the player and increase the offer to more then he's asking and I can't submit that offer. The same goes for if I change the # of years. The only offers I can submit are the original demand or the suggested offer. Who's suggesting the offer? Why can't I adjust it? To me that isn't negotiation. It's just 2 suggested offers I can make. If I don't like either I can't even attempt to sign a player. Here's an example. After negotiating with Valencia for the rights to talk to Juan Manuel Mata about a transfer, the player demanded 78k pounds to sign. The "suggested offer" was 75k pounds. But he was only making 28k pounds at Valencia so no way I wanted to offer him 50k pounds per week more just to get him to transfer. But even if I didn't care about how much the offer was I couldn't offer anything but the demand or the suggested offers. To test the system I even increased the salary option to 100k pounds and I still didn't have the ability to make that ofer, and yes I had more then enough available wage budget to make it if I wanted. I should have been able to offer whatever amount I wanted as long as I was within my budgets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tingting Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Not exactly. You are unfair.Apart from the German HR doing his job well (and disregarding the ability of some Bayern players more than many others in the past) Have to disagree here. Muller played 52 matches in total for Bayern last season and scored 19 goals. He then had a very good World Cup , was the joint top scorer with five goals and was awarded the golden boot. All this with him being played just behind the main striker. I am not going to play the rating game but anything less than 10 out of 20 is poor when the level of his division is taken into account. So that means the researcher thinks his first touch, his passing and his technique are poor...this for a man who played almost all of the season as an attacking midfielder. This points out to only two things..one, the Bundesliga is a very poor league that even a player whose main attributes wrt his position is poor manages to score almost 20 goals in the season..or the German researcher has made a mistake. I have seen some other posters arguing about 2-3 points difference in ratings for their favorite player..as i said, Muller is neither my favorite player nor Bayern my favorite club...but when the player in question has been one of the most consistent performers on the continent for most of the last season and his key attributes are rated poor, then it is a problem for both those who love the club and the player and those who want the database in the game to be as realistic as possible.

roykela Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I have a customized first team squad screen. Now, on FM10 that screen was set for all the first team squad screens. Whenever i clicked on a club, it was the same view i was having on my own clubs squad screen view. On the demo, the customized squad screen seem only to work with my first team. If i click any on any other clubs, it goes back to the default view. Is it supposed to work this way? Hope you understand what i mean. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dking Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I also started a LFC game and i am having a nice start, with 6 league games played won 5 and 1 draw with goals: 15-4. In europe i have won 2 games and the sole game in the cup. I only loaned in 3 players; Maxwell, Hugo Almeida and Wijnaldum and sold Kuyt. But on the other hand i like the Demo much and cant wait for the real deal to come out. You actually managed to sell a player for cash? Lucky you. I have tried selling Babel, Kyriakos, Kuyt, N'gog, Maxi, and Joe cole without one offer for cash, every single offer has been a loan out which is completely pointless. What I find strange is the fact I can't shift any of these players at reasonable to very low prices when in reality, they would be snapped up pretty quickly. I really hope this isn't a sign of things to come in the final game as you can't tell me these players wouldn't be wanted. Oh I did manage to sell Babel for 1million in another save and only one club came in for him. Something is broke I think as selling Babel for 1million would have hosts of clubs after him.

He has said that it will be difficult to transfer players in the first season..and most of the offers will be to loan the player.

Really? I've noticed my players pull the keeper way out of position and end up with a massively wide open net for the second player, only to have him dribble in, allow the keeper to close, and then do either 1) smash the ball really hard wide/high and miss from ridiculously close or 2) kick straight towards the keeper anyway, instead of the side of the WIDE OPEN goal for an easy netter. I can't count the number of CCCs I've had like that without a goal. Things even I, a clumsy single footed baseball player could slot home with my eyes closed, are missed by professionals.

Quavis Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Only got to play for ~ an hour last night, but here are my impressions so far. Likes: -I like that inbox and news have been merged. In FM 2010, I found myself not reading the news as much and feeling out of touch with what was happening outside of my team. Dislikes: - News "Bubbles" on the Home Page. I love having the news available on the home page, but the bubble format is atrocious and a waste of space. I'd much rather have a condensed email view (like FM 2010 inbox format, but with only the headers". This would allow the main points to be displayed in half the space, and if you wanted to read the item it would still take you to the inbox. -Home Page - I like the fact that you can now pick which sets of information you display on the home page. However, we need to be able to resize these windows, and add more if desired. For instance, If you select "Salary" for one of the displays, the window stay the same size, but theres only 4 lines of text and the rest of the space is completely wasted. Next Match and fixture list likewise have loads of wasted space (this is playing windowed as well. I'd imagine if I played full screen at 1920 x 1200 half the screen would just be solid white.). I just feel that if these widgets were customizable, I could probably get much more useful information into much less space and have the home page be so much more effective. -Agents! - Its not that I dislike the feature, I just hate the agents themselves Now not only do I have players demanding money I cant give them, I now also have agents wanting money I don't have. I'm hoping agents are more reasonable/non existent in the lower leagues (haven't tried a LL team yet). -Negotiations - Negotiations in this game still feel one sided. The AI tells me what they want, I counter with a lower offer as I feel they are unreasonable, they come back with pretty much the same offer as before. If I raise my offer to somewhere in the middle, they come back with the same offer they just gave me before. The only chance I seem to have of getting any movement at all is if I make an offer non-negotiable, but that seems to get rejected 90% of the time. Unlike FM2010, If contract negotiations break down in FM11, there is 0 chance to restart them. They just won't talk to you at all. Agent Fees seem to be almost non-negotiable, even when the agent in question has a 2 or 3 for the "fees" attribute. If negotiations come down to just squad status, which was common in FM 2010, in the demo you might as well start all over. As soon as you raise the squad status, the agent now demands higher wages to go with the squad status. We just finally agreed on the wages not 1 conversation ago! Despite the fact that there is far more dislikes than likes atm, I still think FM 2011 will be a great game. Dislikes jump out far more than neat little features that are cool that you don't notice right away. I haven't actually played a match yet (which after only an hour is probably normal for me. I usually spend ~ 6 hours before even getting to the friendlies...lol), so I cant comment on the ME and the new Views/replay setup which from what I've heard so far is very good.

Dzajo5 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 First of all I want to say that this Demo looks very good. All oh the new features are good and I like them. Only thing i found out by now that is bad is that there are lot of bookings. For example my first game of season(not friendly) against Fiorentina i got 7 yellow cards and 3 red cards (Fiorentina got 2 yellow). Next game against Catania i got 6 yellow card and 2 red cards, Catania got 4 yellow cards. Now i'm leader in Seria A with 13 yellow cards( next is Roma with 7) and 5 red cards(next is Roma with 1). You will probably think that i have aggressive tackling or something. In my team instructions i have set cautious tackling and then after setting player instructions i changed to advanced instructions and set all of them easy tackling. You should probably deal with this. But otherwise thumbs up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
