Jibby123 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Without giving any thing away, do not want to spoil it for you guys, the new blog/video on the enhanced and additional interaction in the game, makes for an interesting listen. Looks good. Dam it, in for a penny in for a pound. Am going to take the plunge and buy. Latest video on 'interaction' here: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cel1234 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Maybe I'm imagining it, but I thought there was something about it being improved to make it easier for people to create leagues to put up in Steam Workshop. And then of course there is definitely this: Sounds great really hope they have Gib in there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Race 9 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 In one of the video blogs it was announced that it will be possible to create challenges in the editor, and if you watch the top of the screen there was also a rules tab which I took as changing league rules without having to re-create nation league systems or using the AE will be possible at last. I took it as that too:D I hope we are right as its something I have been asking for and hoping for each year...cant wait for the release now:o Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daylight Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Not sure if it has been asked or answered but is FM14 going to release with a dark skin? It was a touch annoying on last years release that we were being told to basically play with the white skin as it was not white and then a few weeks later we got the dark skin. If it is still up in the air it would be great if the devs released with the same skins that were in FM12, the dark grey skin was very easy on the eyes.

Last I heard the official line was they didn't know. It would be madness if they didn't in my opinion as the poll I saw overwhelmingly favoured a dark skin.

Althaz Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I use a Pro as well and one thing I have found is the included stylus isn't as good as some others on the market because the sensor isn't located in the tip, though the game doesn't help by not supporting touch properly - I have to double tap everything that would normally only require a single mouse click.You'd think a gam like FM would be perfect for touch and stylus especially, particularly on the tactics screen. Exactly. It's the perfect game for the Surface Pro (although Civ 5 is also pretty great and support touch properly), but having to double-tap all the time is pretty annoying. Knowing whether or not the game will properly support touch is all that's stopping me from pre-ordering. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim230790 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I am wondering. Is there a change in the contract system of managers? What I mean by this is the opportunity to stay at a club and coach for the rest of the season at Swindon while having signed for august to become manager of AFC Wimbledon? Thanks.

milnerpoint Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Might just be me, but all the little changes are whats getting me excited this year, im not looking for major changes this year, just improving the heap of features already there.

Amunt Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Hey is there any chance you will implement players under 14? I guess that would make the player database to big, but it would be really cool if you could have "Kid-squads", like Arsenals soccer schools for kids or Barcelonas La Masia. Check the list on this site as an example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Masia Then you could make players that are like 7 years old look smaller in the 3D-mode, and the ability to sign such young players, you see potential early often. Perhaps not in FM14 but in the future, it would be really cool. Also I would like an improvement in the 3D-mode to see if a young player has potential, a REASON to watch him in a game yourself. Because right now people only look at the match rating, use Genie Scout/FMRTE and the key attributes, there would be really cool if you had to watch the player yourself and visit the game and then see yourself in the 3D-mode "This kid really looks promising". Too find out if you shall sign him. Of course the oppinion from the Scout and the attributes should matter too though. A couple of bugs I spotted in FM13: When I DONT give youngsters that just came in a contract and another club sign him, he is still in my squad. It can be hidden by checking the box "Hide players that are not in the club" but yeah, should be there. Also when I as a manager of the A-team, for example Valencia, offer a contract to a player in the reserve team he thinks that I am offering him a contract in the A-team, but im just helping the reserves. In Spain the reserve team actually plays in a competition with A-teams, for example they can go up to Liga Adelante/Segunda, compared to for example England when the reserve teams has its own division just to give players playing time and no promotions etc. Really looking forward to the game.

forameuss Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I don't think SI are legally allowed to include any player under 16 years of age. I've seen a few 15 year olds come into the youth academy I'm sure, and I may be wrong, but some have been 14 too. Maybe they can get away with it if they're regens. Still, I wouldn't support adding anything lower than that into the game - it would just be an extra level of complexity into the game that just isn't really needed. It's already enough of a long slog for some to see a player from age 14-16 right up to their retirement - about 20 years in some cases - I can't see the point in extending that. And it would bloat the database. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

siambluebird Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 An increase in board interaction seemed like a good innovation, but the option to leak information to the press? That really seems a bit over the top and not the direction I want to see the game go. Really, if you leak information to the press, as far as I am concerned, you have lost the trust of the club and also it suggest you have a pretty pathetic personality! Yes, you can get sacked because of your actions, but you can also be rewarded. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
