SucksAtFM Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I played some of the challenges on the IOS version and they are very good fun On IOS you could carry on your career after the half-season challenge was finished, not sure if that is the case here though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SucksAtFM Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Haha yeah I totally agree, there are many like that on here but I don't really get much time to look at these forums or play FM which is why FMC is appealing to me. A couple of hours here and there and can make decent progress through the game. I hope it has been pulled off well as the generation that have grown up with the game are now struggling for time to play it. I have a day off today and at best I will get through a couple of months of the season but I cannot get anywhere near the journeyman games of student days.

Smurf Posted October 4, 2012 Author Share Posted October 4, 2012 I'll have a career mode as always. But I can see myself wanting to dabble in the FMC mode too. When I sit down to play my career mode it's for the entire day. I will not be moved. But if I've to go out in a few hours time, then I don't want to be immersed in my career or else I won't go out. So a nice FMC mode for those days where I haven't got the whole day to be immersed are thoroughly welcomed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smac Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 SI are happy to announce "After the Pub Mode" In order to protect your hard work, your primary game will be protected this year by "Pub Mode" (which comes with a breath-alyzer in Solicitor's Edition). If you are too intoxicated to play FM responsibly you will be given the chance to muck up a very difficult challenge. You will certainly lose either way, but with Pub Edition, only your breakable furniture and relationships will suffer, after the Pub. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sound ideal for someone in my position who can spare an hour a day at best. seems like SIs trick has worked on you. everything that they have said so far about FMC you can do in the full game. if you dont have enough time you can not look at training at all, get your assistant to do conferences and teamtalks, do a tactic in the tactic creator in 2 minutes, and select just 3 nations at the start and you have got yourself FMC. it just depends on you, i can finish a season in 10 hours or 100 hours. in FMC, they have just restricted your options.

spankie Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 But the full game doesn't have the instant result option with match plans. IIRC there is no longer the option to holiday through a match, so the full game forces you to go through a match that you either have no real interest in or don't have time to go through and even if it did it would be pot luck what the result will be. With match plans you can set up various plans to cover most eventualities and there is a possibility that the ass man can get the result you want. It is well known that the AI is not really good at press conferences and teamtalks and although SI have probably lessened the impact of those in FM13 there might still be an issue where the ass man upsets players. With FMC there is hardly any press questions and absolutely no teamtalks. FMC has removed a fair amount of interaction between you, the players, the board, other managers and the press. So that whole thing would seemingly work quicker in FMC even if you enable every ass man and DoF option in the full game. FMC has also streamlined the transfer and contract offers, so they would run quicker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerhgrrrrrr Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I have an idea..... A lot of the vocal "never gonna touch FMC" crowd are constantly whinging about the existance of this new mode, some even suggesting they will not buy FM13 because of it. But those that are intrigued by the new mode are willing to embrace it in the spirit within which it was created and cannot wait to explore the new form of gameplay. So, why not disable the full manager mode on the Beta release so it is playable as FMC/challenge modes only?.

It's there if you want it but will have absolutely no impact on a normal career game so anyone who doesn't like it doesn't even have acknowledge its existence.

Or simply following a trend that is proving financially successful. Fair enough if they make a few more quid out of it. Just means more money towards making the main game better. And they've said from the start that the full game is their main priority and they love the game as much as any fan and only want the main game as perfect as possible. Additional revenue? Yes. Better FM's? Yes Play the FMC if you want. Buy the Addons if you want. Nobody is forcing you. If it's not successful it will be withdrawn. But it's down to how successful/unsuccessful it is.

Honestly, that is so cynical as to be humorous when applied to SI. Of course SI want more people playing FM and enjoying it: new players and returning dads and old crotchety people with bothersome things like jobs and such. And they'll make money from that. But I hardly imagine some sinister hand-rubbing around the idea of how they'll "get rich quick" with a clever scheme to please several time-constrained users with a lovingly created piece of gaming goodness. It is a humorous thought though, honestly. Besides, even if these elements are not what you're looking for from FM, denigrating them to "money grabs" is hardly the only other position. Possibly you know, they are modes for people other than say, you or me? Chat with someone from SI and see how dishonest and money-grabby they come off as being. Even the most unloved features are sincerely made. I know, it stretches one's hardened moneygrubbing imagination, but it is true! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawlore Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 "Money grab" is an ugly way of putting it, but I don't think there can be much debate that FMC exists because SI thinks there is a market to sell the game to people who find the main game too slow and/or unwieldy. That's the whole point of it. So in the strictest possible terms, "money grab" is accurate- it's not a function that improves the core gameplay one iota, but it is there to attract new, on-the-fence and lapsed players to increase sales of the game. And, I hasten to add, there's nothing wrong with doing that. It is a sensible business decision, as there clearly is a market there. You may be like me and never touch it- it isn't for everyone, but it wasn't designed to be for everyone. Now the problem arises if and when people perceive that the time and effort spent on implementing a feature which doesn't improve the core gameplay comes at the expense of those improvements which do. That's where the debate lies, and ultimately that boils down pretty much to personal opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

spankie Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 You can still holiday aslong as you want in the full mode of fm13. it's been there for quite some time, they aren't going to stop that. I thought that SI had disabled the option to holiday on matchdays, unless you holiday the day before. I seem to recall a few complaints about that. adspoo - FMC also removes agents from the game, so transfers and contracts are negotiated and accepted/declined almost immediately. The UI has been changed so that on matchday everything is on one screen for squad selection and tactics and so on. In fact the UI in FMC is a lot easier to go through as the UI looks to be much easier to navigate and with us forced to go through fewer screens to do thiings. The whole thing has been made more streamlined and a hell of a lot quicker then getting the ass man or DoF to do it all and without the risk of the ass man upsetting players with daft teamtalks or press conferences. Full fat FM is too much of a grind for most people and still will be so even when enabliing every option so that the DoF or ass man are doing everything. On FM12 I managed to do 18 months in game before I got bored with the grinding and very slow process and that took 2 months real time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
milnerpoint Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 No, you cannot holiday mid game like you used to be able too, you can still holiday every single game day if you want, you just cannot go on holiday when your 3-0 down after 15 minutes, then hit re-load so you can win the next time. I can still play a season in three days, and i do everything that needs to be done, training, press conferences, team talks, private chats, team meetings, absolutely everything.

Oh you should have resisted, you have just exposed your blinkered view for what it is. Clearly there are a lot more changes in FMC than you seem to like to believe. Actually, reading between the lines, it seems there are a lot more differences and changes than we have had full access to yet. I have to ask myself, why are so many posters with fixed preconceived negative views about FMC spending so much time in FMC specific vblog threads giving their ill considered opinions?.

Then we all would have that feature and you still would be able to play with the settings to speed up your gameplay. I think that's a little disingenuous. What takes the time in FM isn't so much the features themselves but the amount of clicks required to utilise those features. That seems, from the videos at least, to be the key change particularly with the new UI. Transfers are a good example. In FM13 we can hand over control to the DoF in the full version. No clicks at all! But is that a viable option? Probably not based on AI squad building issues. FMC *appears* to enable you to retain control of key aspects while vastly reducing the time required to use them. At the end of the day we're all just speculating as we won't know until the games out exactly how this has been implemented. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
