veronese Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I've been using it for 10 minutes and I've had enough.Player profiles are comical. The most important part about them are the attributes and it looks like they've been squeezed in, text everywhere you look. Appearance info for the season removed, replaced with a useless apps/goals section that doesn't even show assists or average ratings, so meaningless if I'm looking at a defenders profile for instance. Assistant report ruined, not clicking every position to find the best player, what was wrong with the quick and easy report for the formation I've set up to play. Tactics screen is a horror show. New text is horrid and harder to read. Sorry but whoever has designed this wants sacking. Those are my thoughts, take it on board or not but I'm not happy with this. But just 10 minutes!? I need to have a year to get into a new game and I always surprised that the new game is better than the previous. And Im like you in the beginning.

Tommy_Styles Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 First impressions: Positive: -Looks like there is some really neat info available! Love the previous results graph. -Team Meeting! First thing I tried, worked pretty well, wonder how it will work long term (and whether it can be exploited) -Changing colour of stats! Works well, although a bit of a hassle to find something suitable, but once that's dialed down it makes things that much more pleasant. Negative: -The email headings on the left side (so I guess it can be called inbox) are too small, really difficult to read, especially with the stark contrast -Contrast in general, it already starts to hurt my eyes - Just found out there is also a dark skin will try that next.

e-fiend Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 On top of that I had to re-download FM11, so in a way I'm just glad I didn't have 166 games in the library... You don't have to reinstall all your games in your library even if you uninstall steam as it leaves all your game folders intact. They will still be there in your steam folder, Steam/Steamapps/Common/ to be exact Which is nice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carmi88 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 small issue, during a free kick the opposition wall lined up on the wrong side of the free kick taker, and the keeper was positioned behind them, giving my player a clean strike on goal, was the intra squad friendly tho, but still not very good the game itself looks sexy, feels sexy, and I'm enjoying looking for players to sign Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proteus Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I don't know if the suggestion to increase download speeds works, Neil, because I let it run for the first 10% using the London server (I'm in Glasgow) and I was getting 500 kb per second. I then changed it to the Manchester server and it dropped to 250 kb per second, and now that I've changed back to the London server it is refusing to return to the 500 kb per second I was initially getting. Confusing. Still, it's only going to take an hour or so. I'll crack on with my FM11 game in the meantime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braundjoh Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I'm really liking it so far. The new player profile confused me at first, but it's obviously going to be useful to get a good idea of how good a player is with a quick glance. The attributes are smaller, yeah, but are all available on the next page if you can't read it for whatever reason, and the positions picture and all the information on that page will be helpful. The match engine looks decent, nice change of camera angles and I liked the change for the penalties. Never really got a really good sense of how penalties were on the last one, and actually looking forward to a shootout Once people get used to it I imagine they'll find it more useful. The tactic screen is still easy to use, as is the transfer center. I'm liking it so far Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
