Guest Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Problem I think is they try to cram in as many new features every year as possible, to warrent it being a new game and not just a patch with updated squads and so they can write 900 new features on the box. and some dont work as well as they should, then the year after they cram in as many new featurese as possible without the time to get them working as they should and without the time to finish or fix the stuff they added in the year before and so on and so on till it seems like nothing works as well as it should. What they need to do is hold off a year and just get the stuff working what we got. If not been able to right 900 new features on the box and people complaining its just last years with updated teams thats a small price to pay to have at least one version of FM that works as intended.

daylight Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Get his match fitness up? I knew you responded to me here so took you off ignore for a sec. When a player is on trial he does not play any matches for you,it is not allowed. He is basically there for you to have a better look at him to see if you want to sign him,he is not allowed to play matches to "Get his match fitness up?".

Well he can get match fit for playing with your reserves or in friendlies actually, or if he is in the scottish lower leagues he can actually play a handful of matches too. BUT, I still don't get what MacZidane thinks that will achieve with regard to contract negotiations though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daylight Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 He is hardly going to get match fit on a 2 week trial,yes he can play for my reserves for 2 games but that would hardly make him join on a trial. This is not quite right as no player joins on a trial for 2 weeks with no intention of talking terms. Just to add the player has actually flown in from Africa,makes it even more strange.

Herbert Fandel Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Ahhhh I understand what MacZidane means now, that he joined you purely in the selfish interest of using your facilites to get his own fitness up, with no intention of signing....... Although the pedant in me would point out to daylight that you can take people on trial for the entire pre-season, and that they surely could get fit in this time, I have to agree in doubting that in FM a player would do this. I think MacZidane is trying to give our beloved game too much credit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I tried to sign this player who I am just dying to have,I tried in the summer to sign him for free but talks broke down,I have now been trying to sign him for almost 3 months but he keeps refusing to talk to me as the last time the talks broke down,Okay I can 'maybe' think that is okay but then as I really want him I asked my DoF to step in,he got him to come to the club for a trial,I was well chuffed,now he is here on trial I offer him a contract but he still refuses to talk terms." It is well outside of pre-season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bracken Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 What do people think of interaction in the new game? Gotta say I think it's been drastically improved, the conversations I have now actually seem like conversations that could be realistically taking place at clubs in real life. My most recent was with Thibaut Courtois at Chelsea. I'm in my second season, Courtois is my backup to Cech, and while I've given him all the cup games and a couple of league games, he hasn't played as many games as probably he or I would've liked. So he came to me asking for regular first team football: Courtois: I'm concerned that I don't seem to feature in your plans. I'm good enough and I might have to leave to find first team football Now, I didn't want him to leave as I think he's my future number one, so I replied Me: You aren't currently in my plans but you'll be getting regular football next season Courtois: If I'm not going to play here at the minute can I be loaned out to get some games elsewhere? This seems a much more reasonable response than I was expecting or used to in previous FM games, and although a loan might be good, I need him for backup, so I went with that option Me: I can't let you leave as you're still needed for cover here Courtois: I see your point, hopefully I can take any chances that come my way. Seems like a conversation you could hear with young backup keepers at almost any clubs. Good work SI, a nice improvement from before, makes man management seem a lot more realistic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiggusD Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Everything except the ME has been improved in my opinion. I don't miss the training sliders, and to set up scouting, for instance. I do miss a bigger improvement to negotiations, however. They are still not actually negotiations... Edit: to be fair, the ME has also been improved, but only parts of it. As a whole FM12 is still better. It is okay that some micromanagement is required in -some- games, but I think it is a bit over the top when you literally have to pupetteer all the players in every match. I hope the next patch improves the balance of the game in this respect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think MacZidane is trying to give our beloved game too much credit This happens all the time IRL, moreso at the smaller clubs. My own club regularly has players on trial pre-season that are clearly only there to get their fitness up to speed. Occasionally, these players will sign if there's no other offers on the table, and this happens on FM too. If your player in question is still clubless by say, October, you'll probably find him more willing to discuss terms, unless it's someone who'd never sign for you.

daylight Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I am having a bit of a head scratcher here.I tried to sign this player who I am just dying to have,I tried in the summer to sign him for free but talks broke down,I have now been trying to sign him for almost 3 months but he keeps refusing to talk to me as the last time the talks broke down,Okay I can 'maybe' think that is okay but then as I really want him I asked my DoF to step in,he got him to come to the club for a trial,I was well chuffed,now he is here on trial I offer him a contract but he still refuses to talk terms. Why would he agree to a trial if he had no intention of talking terms? I will post this in the bugs forum later,he is approaching the end of his 2 week trial and still his agent says he still does not want to discuss terms,the free transfer window closes in 1 week so it does not look good. Having chased this guy since July and we are now in November and the only reason he does not want to discuss terms is the breakdown of talks in July,add to this that he came to the club for a 2 week trial and it seems with no intention of discussing terms. I could maybe understand if he just did not want to sign for my team but it is just because of the breakdown in talks back in July,just does not seem quite right. Edit- Is there noway to talk to the media about a player now? I never talk to the media in the game,the only time I would use it was to talk about a player I was interested in,I can't seem to find this option now.

If your player in question is still clubless by say, October, you'll probably find him more willing to discuss terms, unless it's someone who'd never sign for you. I completely agree IRL, I just don't think FM has that kind of consideration coded into it. Although FM players do become drastically more willing to negotiate, I don't think they exploit the trial system, or even let it form much of a consideration to their negotiations. Especially if the only reason he is giving for not negotiating is the previous breakdown in talks.Sounds like a bug to me daylight, possibly two. For me the reluctance to negotiate for such a prolonged period should only be if he has an agent who hates you due to multiple multiple failed negotiations with various players. If that isn't the case, the player shouldn't shut up shop for so long. Second bug is that, given the reluctance to negotiate, he, as you say, shouldn't have come on trial. My guess is that when deciding whether to let him come on trial the game only looked at whether in normal circumstances he would realistically sign, and ignored the negotiations hang-up (I'm also hiding in shame at being out pedanted by daylight) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurf Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Very frustrated with the Scouting User Interface - such a waste of screen real estate - it could be better - I hate having to click on "View Match Report" it should be all on one screen (or custom) when you click on a scout in the Scout Assignment screen Something like this would be nice I made a thread about it here: http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/333623-Scouting-Assignments-Screen-why-not-make-it-more-like-this-or-similar-or-even-customisable But felt it was good feedback for the SI team to consider and more chance of it being noticed here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurf Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 When you set the DoF to be able to sign players for the youth team or the first team - it would be idea to allow them allocation of the transfer budget. Same with if you set the Head of Youth Dev. to sign youth players just give them an allocation of the budget. I'd allocate 20% of transfer fees to DoF to find players for first team - and allocate 20% of transfer fees to head of dev to find youth players. In a €10m budget they'd each get €2m each to sign players. Obviously depends on your budget and what you want to allocate to them. This way you could split up your transfer kitty amongst the staff - but when you go to buy players it will only show the amount of cash you have available after allocating it.

mcgav79 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 3 points to raise - apols if these have ben mentioned before: 1. In player search, if I filter by potential ability it also highlights unscouted players with that potential. So it's easy to find the 5star prospects. 2. I don't think the tax bug is fixed (at least not in saved games - I was 5 seasons in using an English league at the time of the last update). I understand tax is based on the profit made in the previous season. In my current game I made £50m profit last season and am now paying over £4m a month in tax. That's nearly 100%! 3. The random in game new generated player - best prospects seem to nearly always have either "injury proneness" or "consistency" highlighted as their "specific weakness" Anyone having/spotted the same issues?

BiggusD Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I have much the same experience with FM12- "faith in you" is positive or no reaction, most others do nothing either way. A key point here is that it is not necessarily a good idea to have all-green arrows and a "positive reaction". The effects of the team talk only last a short time into either half. After that, the result and performances take over. The You Have Faith team talk for substitutes is an encouragement. It gives a boost to confidence and reduces nervousness. However, if you are already 3 goals up, they don't need more confidence - they need more focus. That's when you demand that they go out there and give it all they have got, to avoid complacency. If 1-0 at home while huge favourites and superb morale throughout, I often tell them to don't get complacent and get several angry players regularly. I say "let them be angry" because I have yet to have a poor second-half performance because of the red "angered" reaction. That is, if 1-0 is good enough. If not I tell them to sort it out... The same goes for pre-match and half-time team talks of course. If on a winning streak and brimming of confidence, demand a win. If on a losing streak and confidence is long gone, encourage or just tell them to go out there and have fun. Or good luck. None of those will necessarily yield positive, green reactions, apart from No Pressure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone seems obssed with coloured arrows, i dont give a jot, if i upset my team then so be it, a team talk wont make or break your game, or be the difference between superb and poor moral. I regularly get red arrows from team talks when i have not been happy with wins and various other events, i am the manager, if im unhappy i dont give a toss what the player thinks.

It's the same for any players without contracts. They all retire after a while. The younger/less rep they have, the sooner they'll retire.
