Kriss Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 As is the nature of a beta version this not yet a finished product and we are still making numerous improvements ready for the October 31st release. If you have any questions about the beta, check our our FAQ, here. Below are some of the key issues we are currently working on. Please do provide any further examples of these you come across, as well as any other issues affecting your game. Our bug reporting guidelines can be found here, and our bug reporting forums here. Our QA team will be on hand to deal with any and every issue raised. Known issues There is still work being done on the way AI managers and other staff pick teams, so in some cases they may not be making the most ideal team selection. There may be the occasional incident where the goalkeeper makes a poor attempt at a save. There may be the occasional incident where you see wild back passes. There is some balancing work on-going to the talking round of unhappy players. Sugar daddies may be a too generous with their cash input in some cases. There is still some balancing work to be done to the MLS Trade system. FMC Match Plans left to assistant may sub players earlier than specified.

SucksAtFM Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I've been playing for about an hour. First impression is that it seems really good. Kept most of the elements of 13 but freshened it up a bit. Only major gripe so far is that there aren't any of the mls rules implemented - it needs some sort of player restrictions for the fun!

dyl1dyl Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Just heard from a friend that says FM 14 Classic Vita is gonna be limited to 3 nations like FM13 Classic on the PC/MAC. I went to watch the video you guys posted talking about FM14 Classic and indeed, in the video, it shows at one point that cross save with vita only works for FM Classic games from PC that are only using 3 nations. Please say that this is untrue. I've am really looking forward to playing FM14 Vita carrying over my save from PC but if the Vita only supports 3 nations, its gonna be a deal breaker for me as I wanna play my PC FM Classic game with the new "up to 50k" player database, not just 3 nations.

tigerhgrrrrrr Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 One annoyance of note. In FMC I am finding that my DoF & other staff are getting poached by other clubs. As Sheff Utd I cannot meet their demands to raise their wages as a temptation to stay, neither can I afford replacements who are any better than "poor". As I use the DoF a lot this is making a quick game mode a more labour intensive experience trying to get replacements in. Can / could in future the recruiting of staff be delegated so if you lose someone they are replaced quickly with the best option available? (almost inevitably a slight downgrade on the previous). Staff recruitment is such a dull part of the game for me but it has become now a necessary crusade. It does seem that the remaining staff are fulfilling the DoF's functions (development list, unwanted list etc) do seem to be still active an there is activity in these areas but I have to assume such areas are not being anyway near maximised by the staff available. Kriss, I think this may be your area of expertise, any thoughts? Thanks (This a Dup of a post in the FM feedback thread, hadn't realised there was an FMC specific one! - the issue could cross over in FFFM mode anyway regarding the poachability of staff) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff do fulfill their functions but obviously if they can't move a player you have to decide the final line, in every case now they will give you the option to instruct them on the next step, be it terminating, selling for £0 or whatever.

Thanks Kriss. What about the delegation of staff recruitment?, I am sure I used to be able to do this (FM13 or FM 12, in FFFM mode) - though I may be wrong. I guess it is not in FMC14?.

As Kriss has said, can save this for a new "ideas" thread, but to answer your question, for my preference and fitting in with the "less faff to do" FMC ethic, any vacant staff slots could be automatically and quickly recruited/filled by the Board - maybe giving the Manager the final authorisation of appointment. The recruits selected would not be the very best possible (to encourage staff searching & recruiting for the manager still) but of quality that is fair to good solving the aforementioned faff problem.

iglesia Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Just bought the game about 20 mins ago. Is anyone else having any issues with going back and forth between screens using their side buttons on their mouse? Sometimes it takes me 3 or 4 clicks before the screen will move back or forth to the previous/new screen. Then it will work first time all of a sudden....and then it will take me another 3 or 4 clicks on another screen? It's not my mouse because I've tested it on ordinary web pages and it's working fine? :shrug: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sy13 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Are there plans to add the match analysis tab/tool to this in an update or do we have to wait for FM15? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyro Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I already gave my feedback in the General Discussion forum but since I had the chance to also start a game on FMC, I wanted to provide specific feedback here. The layout is very, very smooth. Being able to choose different countries for the database is also great. In the full version, I usually try to limit my players to around 50k anyways, so that limit is perfect. It did feel in FM13 that you couldn't find some less known players as much as in the full version. With this change in FM14, this should be resolved. Tactics seem pretty much the same as the full version, which is great. Let's you tinker around and not having to worry about match preparation you can really change it as you wish depending on the opponent. I am always one of those who want the analysis tab to check if something is not working. But, to be honest, recalling my last FM13 save in full version, I hardly ever looked at it, except for the opposition goal analysis, to see where and how they score. I don't think I will miss it that much but for FM15 that would be a great addition Scouting is excellent now. In the save I tried, I had 6 scouts available that I could sent to scout the competitions I wanted to. There is also a staff overview screen which gives you all the details and qualities of your staff in a nutshell. I will keep providing feedback when I discover more but so far the changes have been really great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer89 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 When this mode was introduced in last year's version, it finally gave me back the joy I had with this game 5 years ago. As a working man with child the full game was just too complicated and too big to play when you have only around 10 hours to play each week. This years classic version is even better!! I love the graphical style end the new finance screen. Also the scouting is now better. The only thing i would really(!!!) love to see are the UEFA coëfficients. It's just fun to watch whether your team / country is climbing on the European ladder or not. I don't think it's that hard to integrate in the classic mode and it doesn't make the gameplay more complicated. When players want to see it, they just can do it, and when they don't care about it, they just don't click on it . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertcornell68 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I don't like the new no-sliders tactics. Putting all the fun stuff under the hood may be more realistic but it's made it impossible to see how any changes are actually acted out on the pitch. I've read in the main forum that we're supposed to watch the matches and see what's going on but I just don't have 100 hours to learn how to play the game again, that's why I'm playing FMC.

Tafkans Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 FMC is just the right pace/detail for me, but it's jarring that it frequently puts these "cheat" buttons into the interface. ("Use Magic Sponge", "Automatic Morale Boost", that sort of thing.) It completely breaks the immersion, and although I understand it's part and parcel of the audience that FMC is aimed at, I'd rather have an option to hide these buttons. Someone in marketing will tell you that adding this option could decrease microtransaction sales, but I'm never intending to buy them so it really won't.

Had a couple of hours playing as Bristol Rovers manager last night, and played one friendly. My AssMan is handling transfers.....I guess where I want to override I just click the appropriate boxes. Gonna have a mess around with the tactics tonight. Want to try to set up two main tactics.....one more attacking than the other. Predominantly use the attacking one at home and the defensive one away. I want to try to see allocating player presets to positions in the main. Anyone tried something similar. For example I want to set player A who is DC to be a stopper whether he plays DCL or DCR. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linie Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 would be nice to allow scouts to roam the world or a specific continent. As of now i can only assign the maximal (?) amount of 8 to different regions. The other option would allow to cover all european regions for example and lets say just assign one scout to south america. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to agree with that, the magic sponge repeat was annoying me and I hadn't realised it! Surely (and I accept it should be there in some form) it could be more of a help message like "See how you can quickly heal injuries" the button then taking you into the DLC store. Can understand the commercial reasons for it being as it is but it kicks against the whole SI ethos for me. Loving FM14 FMC though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyro Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I need to add to my previous comment. The scout report now actually shows you some analysis details - from where most of the assists came from and in which minute they scored most of the time. This, coupled with the ability to just change tactics as there is no familiarity to worry about is brilliant. I think classic has become perfect.

Andyh21 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 No major flaws in game hence thanks again for the early release hence being able to play more than half a season. The only thing that annoys me is when it's strolling through to the next day or through other matches, the calender screen as it moves through takes up like 80% of the screen so somethimes you just want to read/look at stuff that's there but you cant given whole page is taken up with white calender space. Again just a small thing but quite annoying for what can be upto say 20-30 seconds, surely just the top say 20% of calender can be shown?
