SI Staff Marc Vaughan Posted April 11, 2012 SI Staff Share Posted April 11, 2012 Seems a totally reasonable price to me. Havent downloaded it yet, need to clear considerable space from my Desire, hmm tough choices ahead. If you have an SD Card then the game will install the data to that by default - it will only install to the internal memory if you don't have one plugged in or the one available doesn't have sufficient space for the installation.

Medion Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Can you not do the UI to scale to any resolution, as you do on the desktop one? I know it's more complicated due to varying pixel densities but it shouldn't be unworkable. This has been covered multiple times on the forum; just leave feedback in your review and Marc&Co will get around to supporting additional resolutions if there is enough demand.

I know it's more complicated due to varying pixel densities but it shouldn't be unworkable. Just to explain - I tried various scaling systems during development, trust me I'm lazy it'd have been far easier to do that then to detect and mess around with multiple skins The problem is that scaling especially on non-clean multiples (ie. horizontal scale of 1.24 and vertical scale of 1.5 or whatever) leads potentially to huge blurring and stretching. The resultant image had really blurry text on certain devices which wasn't acceptable for release imho. (hence the decision to take the approach which we did).

If you do well enough you could unlock 'Sugar Daddy' which brings a multi-millionaire chairman to your club - you'll still be a big club in a small league (so no signing Messi) but that'd help .... up to you if thats sufficient ambition for you or not.

Ceirdiff Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 If I do unlock sugar daddy and 'cheat' in finances like that, if I then spent big bucks on players from other teams in the WPL (I presume at this point then most of the regens will be turning up in this division as it's active?), then will their spending increase accordingly or will they, as in older versions, bank the money against future losses?

To be honest I don't know as its not something I've actively tested - as I mentioned when you brought this up last week (you were running 2011 then I think) I'll look into this in the future and if required tweak accordingly (but at present tbh ensuring all devices run the Android game stably is my main concern).

SI Staff Marc Vaughan Posted April 11, 2012 SI Staff Share Posted April 11, 2012 Only have about 12mb free on internal at the moment. Does it indicate you can download? - I set a flag to say it can install to SD card, however I don't know if that works for the initial download or not (I don't have a device with that limited memory on here to test it with at present) ... it might be that the later OS revisions can bypass using internal memory fully (if so then please let me know as it'd be useful for other users as well). Worst case scenario is you'll need 28mb of space for the initial apk download and then the rest will install to the SD Card (which will require another 160Mb or so).

Eborg Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 @Marc Vaughan: I hope that the resolution for the Galaxy Note will be fixed, it is a shame not to play it on this phone's big screen in full resolution. The idea about a prompt message: "Would you like to exit?" also seems nice. Also, is it possible to introduce all monetary currencies as well as weekly/monthly/yearly wages? I have been playing with yearly wages since CM 01/02 on a different currency so I am really really confused right now with weekly wages in only three currencies.

POG Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Firstly let me just say I'm loving the game so far! I have a couple of questions though and I'm not really sure where to post them so thought I'd put them in here. 1 - I read further up the thread that some attributes have been added together to save space, is there a list of which attributes have been combined somewhere? 2 - I haven't played FMH since 09 (I think) and was wondering if you can change individual player instructions. I know you can change from advanced playmaker to box to box etc but there used to be a page where you could change pressing (yes/no), long shots (yes/no), cross ball (yes/no) etc... If you can't do this any more is there somewhere I can find out the settings for each role? I'd quite like to see if any of my old tactics that did well still work but I can't decide which roles match my old instructions. Again, the game has been great so far, loving the simplicity after a few years of solely playing the PC version. Thanks for any help anyone can provide about the above questions.

rafafloripa Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Marc, when you say that attributes are merged what do you mean? Is it that an average from the FM attributes is taken before adding to the FMH database, or it means that both attributes are actually present (and effective) in the FMH game, but the visualization is combined?

I guess it will not be hard to make it run 800x480 with 120 dpi setting, it's same resolution anyway, just other dpi. The game asks the device its running on which resolution the device is - the game then renders that many pixels, on a bespoke tablet it should report what the real resolution of the device is and use that. From what you're indicating the game is rendering a 480x320 skin and then you're scaling this up? - if this is the case then something is causing it to report a resolution which isn't 800x480. I'd be happy to help - but I'd need to know what device you're using and what you've done to customise it (I've a DELL Streak here using standard software and thats fine in 800x480 resolution, so we have specifically tested this style of device).

We don't have a 600 x 360 skin or anything similar (as it's a deeply unusual resolution) so the game is giving you the 480 x 320 skin as that's the closest thing we have.

SI Staff Marc Vaughan Posted April 14, 2012 SI Staff Share Posted April 14, 2012 The problem is likely that the phone was 'set' as a smaller than 800x480 resolution (in the knowledge of the operating system) when you installed the game - hence the game installed the appropriate skin for that device. If you want to use 800x480 full-screen then please uninstall the game and reinstall with the device in that resolution, the game will then install the correct skin. (sorry but as far as I can see the game did what was 'sensible' in this case - its simply a by-product of your having 'hacked' the operating system and having it in a non-standard configuration) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But further up this thread someone mentioned they had issues with it, a shame. If I hear that the Galaxy note supports it in fullscreen, I will buy it straight away. I know other things take priority, but when this gets sorted I'll be the first one buying it. Any news? 800x1280 - Note Resolution. Edit: I know the new update supports a higher resolution skin.
