There isn't an 'official' way to edit the data - however there is an unofficial save game editor for FMH (not made by SI) which should work on the Android game, we won't know until its in the wild tbh.

Bertie BG Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 We're estimating it will be live at about 6:30pm (BST), but it's impossible to say the exact time, so don't shout at us if it's not perfect.

Quboid Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 First impressions: there's some bad Android handling. You have your own keyboard, why? Just call up whatever keyboard is set to run. Also the back button dumps you to the Home screen, despite most (all?) views having a virtual back button so this would be easy to implement properly.

Twellman24 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 IS there a season limit?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quboid Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 You can't tap on names in news articles, so for example going from a news article I have about Welbeck's contract to actually viewing him and perhaps bidding on him will take quite long. I'm enjoying this, a few quibbles are inevitable but this is very promising! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Jamie King Posted April 11, 2012 SI Staff Share Posted April 11, 2012 IS there a season limit?? 30 season limit, same as the iOS game. @Quboid - Not sure if you're familiar with the iOS version but the 'Links' button in the bottom right hand corner when viewing a news item will give you related links - i.e to Wellbeck's profile (in this example).

Ceirdiff Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 If the main issue is stability, would there be any way of working out the ideal season limit based off the phones specs? Would there be a method for us to say - bah, who cares about instability!? and keep on playing in the knowledge it could insta-crash? EDIT: Lol, I love how Marc says he'll be here for support, stays up from early in the morning chatting to us; and then the moment it's released is when he decides to have a break.

We haven't put any monitoring into the game at all - will be verbal feedback* combined with what the store tells us regarding sales (tbh I don't know if Google indicate to developers the types of devices installed onto or not, time will tell ... this release is a learning curve for us all in that regard). *If you haven't guessed already I put a lot of trust in our customers generally to guide me in which way our products should evolve and generally let me know what we're doing right and wrong.

grimbo88 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 To be quite honest I haven't 100% checked - but in theory all the various saved files from the iOS version should work on Android, the only notable exception might be the unlockables file as I might have changed the format of that slightly I'm not certain (and tbh if I have then I wouldn't be totally upset as I think part of the fun is NOT CHEATING and unlocking things for yourself ). The unlockables file does work, it goes in the data file not tested the others EDIT - all the others work too, but them in 'user_data' this includes tactics Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icy Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Works pretty fast in the Galaxy Note, but the game doesn't stretch to full screen (800 x 1280 pixels) that is a shame with this huge 5.3" screen The intro screens are in full screen mode, the game it's not.

Wouldn't mind starting in Scotland but with the option of moving to England. In this version you're limited to just the nation you start in, if this version is successful (ie. sells enough copies that I'm allowed to do a sequel) then I'm hoping for next years I'll know enough about the devices to squeeze things tightly enough to make it run multiple leagues at once ....

Twellman24 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Is there a way to put players i dont want to see in my squad screen in the reserves? Cant seem to find it yet.

daz_2000 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 played it on the tube on the way home from the office, the journey went very quickly! love it! Thanks again Marc. Quick question, I cant seem to find a way of showing the players preferred foot. e.g left or right or both. Is that not displayed? Also it looks like I cant view/hire staff, before I use to get a good scout and take his word on player purchases, if I scout players now, is the scout a good man to trust as I cant see how good he is (playing with mk dons) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There aren't seperate staff in the game - the scouts you're given are adequate but not perfect, that is they should give sensible feedback but don't replace a good managers judgement.

It might be worth adding the minimum resolution to the app description? On the game, why does confirming on a tactic screen e.g. after changing player roles bring one out of tactics? Its annoying if you're making adjustments to each area i.e. changing set piece takers then player roles etc especially pre-match. Edit: I just realised that there is no need to confirm until all adjustments are made! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
