goatherd Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 "More realistic transfers" - FM13 offered this and I found myself paying 20m for young players valued at 800k. Is this being adjusted? FM13 brought so many great new ideas but I really would like to get back to bargain hunting and pretending to be Arsene Wenger. I'd also like player value to vaguely indicate... you know, player value. Any news on this specifically? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScotchWhisky Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I am really excited about the "More sophisticated board interaction." What I would like to see is the ability to request the board override their maximum salary allowances for a particular player so long as you have plenty of salary left over. There have been plenty of times that good players have been willing to negotiate, but I simply cannot offer them a large enough salary even though I have only half my cap or so used up.

daylight Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Was thinking about skipping FM14 but there are a few good things being added. "The FM experience is also more customisable than ever before, as the integration of Steam Workshop tools make it easy for managers to create and share customised FM content and experiences such as photo/logo packs, new and custom competitions and even tailor-made in-game challenges using the new Challenge Editor which has been incorporated into the free-to-download Pre-game Editor." I am a big fan of the Steam workshop from other games, changed my entire Skyrim experience, having this for FM is really great and this alone could be tempting enough for me to buy FM14.

ScotchWhisky Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 That's really good to know, being able to keep my squad together far too easily was the only real issue I had with FM13. Really looking forward to FM14.I'm hoping my players will do things like announce they leaving on a bosman, turn down contract offers and just become unhappy a lot more easily. In 31 seasons on FM13 i've barely seen any of my players do these things. I've found that time and time again I can keep a player by promising him the world within a year or two, then if I fail to achieve my promise, then I can simply re-offer him the world when he's mad again. Thus I hope you are right. At the same time, I've had issues where I have accomplished the promise and the player claims I have not. Or other times, my club has been growing substantially, but a player still claims it's too small. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

daylight Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Interesting, I've never heard of it before. What do you enjoy about it? Basically players make extra content,music,graphics, basically make changes to the game. You can look at the list of the player made changes and if you see something you like you simply tick a box and that change will now appear in your game, you can select as many things as you like and it will be added to your game. I would expect to see lots of photo packs and logos added rather quickly, different skins, would not even be surprised to see alternative commentary added. The list is endless of the things you can see in games when using the workshop in other games such as Skyrim and I can see it adding a lot to FM.

Danielos Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 It´s time to abandon this greedy, wasteful ridiculousness of yearly releases of basically the same game. Have annual downloadable database updates (for a fair price) and then release major new versions of the main game say every third or fourth year. Then people will have time to really play through each game for many seasons, the game will have time to get properly patched and finished and each new release will have major overhauls after being worked and improved on for years.

Do you really expect that to happen? Far, far too profitable for them ever to consider not releasing the game yearly. Still, they aren't forcing you to buy it. Why don't you just skip a few FM's? It's win win for you. You can play through for many seasons, SI still get their money which helps them develop the game further. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

These will then be rounded up every Football Manager Friday at the FM website www.footballmanager.com, alongside videos going into more depth on teased features or showing match engine footage at youtube.com/sigames.com There are far too many new & improved features to discuss all of them – so we’re leaving loads for you to find for yourselves too! Rest assured that everything in the Football Manager Friday round up will be linked to from these forums. For some reason i'm blocked from following you?

Veggeh Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Just seeing the words "cloud" and "saving" together in a sentence is enough to make my love-spuds shoot right back up where they came from. Cloud saving is only good if you can maintain the internet connection required to access it, and the uptime of the servers where the data is stored. I don't need to iterate what happens if either goes down, and that either going down is not uncommon. Just please tell me it's optional. I don't know anyone, personally or otherwise, who doesn't appreciate having physical copies of their save data, even if it's just to make sure they always have a backup. Cloud saving takes a lot of that freedom away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloud saving takes a lot of that freedom away. Yeah, was thinking the same thing here. The term ‘cloud save’ technology and the requirement for a broadband internet connection in the game specs left me feeling cold and clammy. Online activation I can live with, but if you NEED an internet connection to play then unfortunately I'm out for the first time in 15+ years. I play the game on my laptop on places where I haven't got 'tinternet.

nicko Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Hoping that the overhaul in the -more realistic transfers- will include loads of activity especially regarding your own players if x player has a ave rating of 7.54 (as an example) and your fighting off clubs to keep the player in question. As I've mentioned many times, the transfer windows come and go with not alot happening. Looking forward to this years release Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jujigatame Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Praying for the following fixes: 1) General improvement in the performance of narrow tactics. I found in FM13 that if you were trying to play through the middle it was very tough to score goals. Playing with 3 CMs or 3 STCs too frequently saw them all standing right next to each other and being completely ineffectual. 2) No more teams repeatedly making the same offer for the same player after it has been rejected. 3) Greater effectiveness of loans in player development. Almost every loan of a player to a Championship or League One side would result in a "that was a waste of time" message upon the loan's completion. At the very least more transparency in what has positive/negative effects on player development is needed. Other than that I found FM13 to be very good and I think marginal improvements to UI and the 3D graphics are all that is needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pearcey_90 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 On the new FM if you're a semi professional club will we able to offer amateur contracts to players? As when working on a tight budget it's impossible to break even/not suffer a huge loss as your constantly having to pay weekly wages, and sometimes good amounts for back up players. An example in real life would be FC Halifax. They're semi professional in the Skrill Premier but have majority of their players on amateur contracts where they don't get paid during the summer, just when the season starts and competitive games resume. Feel adding this feature will really make being in charge of little clubs more enjoyable and more of a chance to progress. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got as far as 'Steam workshop' and was basically sold, that is huge for me. Some other person may scroll past that and see something else, with every release you have to expect such a high number given the complexity of the game, some are very small and others are real game changers, it depends on the player.

Herbert Fandel Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I didn't say I wanted only one change.

This, people need to stop fixating on the number, and look what for it is they want from the game. I'll probably benefit overall from the 1000 changes, but really bug fixes aside, I'm only looking for maybe a dozen things I want in the next installation. And if they are there and they sell me in the demo, then I'll buy it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
