FMFAN123 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 In FM13 99% of the time only staff with salary demands you could afford would reply to job advertisments.In FM14 people reply to job advertisments demanding 4x the salary you can offer. I have managed to swing a few people using the new contract options for staff (long contracts with wage rises), but still, is this change to the salary demand/job advertisment system a feature or is it accidental? Any news on this one? It makes advertising for jobs far more stressful than it should be. I'm also getting way too many player sales falling through from lack of funds, repeated by same team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koki Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Maybe I just haven't found it... where can I tell my players to use the offside trap? Right now I really feel restricted. Can't make players play the way I want to. My keeper has duty defend, "pass shorter" and "distribute to defenders" but regularly plays a long ball into the middle of the pitch where we lose possession.

OlivierL Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I like the way we can preset roles but we can't preset 'set pieces instructions' ? For example if 'Michael Carrick plays on DMC , i want him to stay back .. if Fellaini plays Dmc i want him to challange goalkeeper' I think this is not possible now ? will this be available in the future ?

mark2411 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Not sure if this is a bug or not... I signed Will Hughes for Man Utd, and part of the transfer deal was that he'd be loaned back to Derby for the season. When the loan deal was completed, the feedback from the Derby fans was that they were surprised at the signing given that he'd only just signed for his 'previous employer'. This was also the case when Zaha signed for Aston Villa on loan - in that the fan reaction was the same. In the Will Hughes instance, I wouldn't have thought that the Derby fans would have been surprised by this. In the Zaha case, again it's not uncommon for players to be immediately farmed out on loan after signing for a big club so I'm not sure the surprise is realistic? Just a thought!

jayahr Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Played last night for 3 hours, but didn't make it to the first friendly. Still, my impressions: (btw coming from FM12 as I didn't like FM13) - I like the inclusion of many things into the in-box a lot. - I love many of the new options which make life easier and more logical (some of them were of course already in FM13) - still the new UI takes me lots of time to get used to, even though I played 3 seasons on FM13 a year ago. - That black box on the tactics screen is indeed really ugly. As is the pitch and the small jersey dots. - I can't find any explanation wth an enganche, a regista and so on are in the game. Annoys me as apparently all my AMCs are best suited in the enganche role. Needs to be easier to find in case it exists. - also still missing some other options, which may be a new-UI issue only. Where are for instance the options to have the U21s play the same tactic and so on? - I see that scouting players doesn't auto-shortlist them anymore. Not sure if I like that. Now I have to shortlist them separately, or is there another option which I don't find in the new UI? - The game does not tell me what the unwanted list or the transfer target lists do. Can one tell me? Overall my first impression is that it's great. However FM always used to be pretty self-explanatory. It's still not as bad as Excel now, but there are certain areas and issues which make me feel lost and unaware of many options and opportunities. This is certainly an area with potential for improvement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

phnompenhandy Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I will admit to being a newbie when it comes to playing this series. My question for those currently playing the Beta is this, with the changes to tactics, shouts, etc. would you say that the changes make it easier for a newbie to pick up on how to play the game or is there still the large learning curve? 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? If you're a newbie to FM, but you understand football (the tactical side) it should be easier to understand because you don't have to unlearn "slider-thinking". I can see a few posters utterly trapped in 'sliderese', trying to translate tactical instructions into numbers - you're spared all that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperJackLester Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 As a partially sighted FM player i am absolutely delighted with the new zoom settings. You have truly made my playing experience 100% better. Thank you thank you thank you... ...on another note. I'm having a spot of difficulty with the 'customise view' options. The columns seem to have a mind of their own when trying to resize them. They just resize other columns and you end up with hardly anything being shown on the screen.

SI Staff Olly Kenney Posted October 18, 2013 SI Staff Share Posted October 18, 2013 will the new game reflect the changes to the EPL in that there is far more money going to each club due to the tv deal....I read in Daily Mail in the Summer that winner this season would top of 100m(this would be their final place money plus the new tv deal cash.....I see in the beta that winner of EPL gets 25m, and when I have looked at the income of Man Utd from tv its nowhere near what it should be?? ) At what point of the season did you look at Man Utd's tv income? Tv revenue is paid in monthly instalments and so the total amount will not have been paid until the end of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SI Staff Olly Kenney Posted October 18, 2013 SI Staff Share Posted October 18, 2013 The U21 player aspect of the Premier League registration rules is incorrect.

TJV Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Really enjoying the beta so far, but there is one minor thing that's kinda bugging me. Whenever the press conference news item comes up, the option to let the assistant do the press conference is all the way down in the right hand corner. I'm playing FM on a second, 1280*1024 screen, so that's somewhat more of a 'distance' than on a, for example, 1600x1900 screen. I know this is a really small thing but if you ever get bored, might be cool to add a higher button. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbokav1971 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I have played FM09 literally for years and only just updated to FM13 quite recently. I found the change from FM09 to FM13 quite daunting. This step seems to be much easier. I would echo the sentiments of those who have already complained about the lack of a dark screen, however despite me wanting the choice, I am getting along fine without it, (where as I simply couldn't in FM13). That might be down to me recently setting/re-setting brightness/colour on a new laptop, so if the lack of a dark skin is causing you a problem then have a go. I'm having multiple woodwork hit issues. Only just gone past Jan though so really just finding my feet still. I like the way the match engine looks initially but some of the movements stand out as a bit awkward, (most are brilliant). GK movement seems a little poor especially but player movement in contact situations seems to be much improved. Absent sliders is a challenge, but I think also an improvement too, (at least it will be when I get my head properly round them). Windowed mode wouldn't work for me yesterday, (even when I tried the workaround posted elsewhere). Not a huge problem though and it's possible I was being stupid anyway. One cosmetic thing that is bugging me is the houses/streets that appear outside the grounds, (especially when playing at a small ground). This looks good, really good actually, but only really works at all if there are actually houses outside the ground in real life. If there are car-parks/grass/trees/synthetyic pitches outside the ground, (as there are at The Hive/Barnet), then that's what I want to see. Showing me houses and streets that I know aren't there just seems.... silly. Show what's there or what's the point? There seems to be a bit of as problem with the squad filters. It's fine on my own club but when I try to look at another club, the filters don;'t always seem to be working. I might be looking for just a central midfielder so have all left/right unticked and all gk's/defenders/attackers unticked, but even after that I am seeing players who can only play centre-half or right wing for example. Seems strange but doesn't happen all the time thankfully. Might just be individual players you never know. The layout of the squad creen seems slightly wrong. You have the selected position down the left hand side and then you have the player name, but anything that you actually might want to look at, (dependant on which option you set the filter to, genera,l contract, transfer, selection, Asst reports etc, all the info seems squashed into the right hand side of the screen. Why does half the screen need to be taken up for just a name? It just doesn't seem to look right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgar555 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Can't watch this ME. It scares me to think they have 2 weeks to improve this. Although some improvements have been made, the bugs and glitches are just so painfully bad. I'm wondering if I'm paying an extra $10 this year for FM for the UI and eye candy improvements. Cause that's not what I want the focus to go on from the devs.After 7 hours of playing, I'll be waiting for a patch, it's the first time I'm not going to play the game in Beta because of how unpolished it is. The first time out of the two times they've done an early beta release? Shocking. And unpolished and beta kinda go hand in hand.
