Federico Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Started my first save with OGC Nice. Am rolling with their 4-1DM-2-2-1 tactic to expected success (challenging for European spots).The new tactic system is awesome. Much simpler and easier to understand and much more "viewable" on the pitch. Players follow instructions much more predictably now, with one exception. For the life of me, I can not get the keeper to distribute to the backline despite that exact instruction being selected. But my it's crazy how faithfully my wingers are doing exactly what I want them to do! Thank you for your reply. I'm reading a lot of users having great results. I want to turn into the devil's lawyer: is it not too easy? I remember last years posts full of anger and frustration because of the difficulty of the game, due most likely to a wrong perception of the tactic and the engine (that had its issues, no doubt on this). But now everybody seems happy and winning. This scares me: loss = unplayable, worst game ever - wins = fantastic game Mmm mmm... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ceefax the cat Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 This post appears a bit confused?You mention that a manager would never use a quantified measurement to communicate an instruction, and immediately after that, you state that all the top teams use quantifiable measures.....

Scannelljim Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Hi Scannelljim, thanks a lot for the feedback. Glad to see you've given MLS a go.I wasn't 100% I understood your point about International Slots, but if you view your club's Transfers -> Clauses screen, you will be able to see what International Slots you have traded in and out of the club at present. Does this solve the problem you were having? A guide to help 1st time managers in MLS and some way of equating value on the various trade elements are interesting suggestions we should definitely consider for future versions. Henry: The "Clauses" section under transfers does show the international slot that I traded away for two seasons, but doesn't actually tell me how many international slots I have left to play with. I think some of that info is hidden on the squad registration screen. Still, it's not an intuitive process, and certainly any new player right now who tries MLS is going to find that they have to make quick decisions about trade offers involving these international slots, and it isn't easy to evaluate those deals. When I receive one of those trade offers, it would be nice if a little reminder text popped up with the offer to tell me how many slots I have to negotiate with, or how many slots I am currently using.

Rhinocerous Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Loving the game! However, anyone else noticing that 90% of your goals are from double or triple rebounds? I've scored exactly 1 clean goal out of the 15 or so I've scored. The rest tend to go off the woodwork, then off the keeper, and then in the net. Or some variation of thereof. Not a huge issue, but it seems a little silly that every goal is like that, whether kicking or heading. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dagenham_Dave Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 There's going to be an absolute mountain of super or cheat tactics developed for this game due to the 'streamlining' of the tactical side of the game.

I am not asking if it easier to win, but is it easier to understand how to play and thus easier to get started and continue on? The last couple of versions have been changing from the old system of designing tactics using sliders to the new 'Tactics Creator'. The change has happened now, the sliders have gone and it's much simpler to pick up and play. Much easier to get started, though it will probably still be tricky to get really good at it.

Karna Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Totally agree. I think the old system of tactics is much better for people, who understand football. I hate the current system of tactics. I say FM = tactics with sliders. FM without sliders isn't FM! I don't know why the old system was removed. Players should choose if they want to play with the current system of tactics or with the old one. I'm really disappointed. :-( I could not disagree with you more. This tactics system is, for me, the one for people who understand football. You'll never see a manager who is asking to "waste time from 2 to 3" Every manager will say drop deep or drop deeper than you are now, no one will say drop deep and drop deeper for 2 more...

It's seems that the only relevant "new" feature is the fm classic and chalenge mode ,while the "normal" game mode only recived GUI improvments. Once again si games has put major effort in redesign of fm user intarface, and very little has been done about major "weak spots" of FM that need improving. I feel like you changed te GUI again just so you can sell the same game again(+DB update), for a considerable amount of money(50€). And guess what i belive that cm/fm fans (addicts) dont care so much about this aspect of the game. The biggest problem with FM stayed the same - Computer AI for buying players and building squads. If i take any PL club of top 5-6 club , in about 2-3 seasons, i will start wining PL titles every season because there is no real competition, In fm 2012 in my last save game I played with Man united. In my first season i won the Premier League and CL ,but it with a lot of luck! in the next 2 seasons after that i was second becouse i sold most of the players ,and started building the team MY WAY, developing my youth players, buying talented 14-17 old's and free transfers. From season 14/15 to 18/19 i have won 5 titles in row whit ease (2. team is always 10-20 points behind me ) , then i lost interest and stoped playing. Man city has all the money but AI still isn't capable of buliding a team that will challenge mine, they buy a lot of players that play in the same position.. Arsenal buy's a excelent DC for 13 M that should easely be in the first team, after one season and only 5 league games , the sell him to valencia for 5 M. There are many examples like this... Only realistic team is Liverpool , they mostly buy crappy-overpriced players. An things are much worse if you play in a lover reputation league. I usualy play with Hajduk Split in Croatian first division. After 3 seasons i can win-a championship with my "C" team.... In the long run the game becomes boring , even in LLM. AI is useless!! Only exception is playing with Atletic Bilbao, it's almost imposible to win the League Another thing that realy kills the game is players in non-active leagues. If i am playing with Man utd with only england as active nation, and i go and check stats of for example Barcelona players , you can always find some of the best players managing only 12 -15 league appereances (without being injured). So you have Messi wining best player in europe ,but in 5 seasons he has maybe 60 league appereances total. This is a bug that's present in the game for years. Also youth development is very strange! If I am playing with Hajduk in Croatia (only croatia is active) even with the best staff and best facilites i get very bad regens.And if i take a look at regens at Barca, United, Real, Liverpool , they get Wonderkids every year! Then i start a new game with Man United,a and in 8 seasons i got only 1 realy good regen from my academy ,but now Hajduk has 3x better regens then before (even without good coaches and Top academy). In active leagues regens are always crap! These are the things you sholud improve, and not vaste time with changing GUI every year (so it's less obvious that it's the SAME GAME+ DB update) and making a traditional MAJOR BUG in every new release . YOU ARE NOT EA GAMES (i hope). I believe this year I won't be buying Fm, because paying 50€ for a "patch" + new skin is WAY TOO MUCH . You obviously spent most of the time developing fm classic(handheld) and you shoud maybe sell that as as separate game/prouduct(It has a target audience for sure).

I just said my opinion, it seems to me this tactical system is way too much simplified, I haven't said it is not realistic or not the right thing to do. But I fear all these positives comments belong to being successful with the game thanks to a more "handable" tactic sytem. There is no doubt sliders gave a lot of problems in the past, (especially with FM13) because people couldn't learn their meaning easily in my opinion. "Easy to play, hard to master" was the sentence I read the most. In my opinion it seems now it turns into an "Easy to play, easy to master"... but you know I was just just asking some impressions and I might be wrong about mine.
