balldoktor81 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 anyone here using DOF (only) for managing transfers??? game would be a lot harder if we would let him do the transfers (in/out) and contract negotiations. are they smart enough to do so...?

opel80uk Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 We use PM's a lot, with many people a "quiet word" works best. Yeah? Did you see who it was that told me about the PM's, and how he's been asked to tone down his defending of the game? How's that working out? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
missinginstereo Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 You can download other skins though. I know, but it's a pain in the neck. Also, i just had Will Hughes sent off in the first ten minutes and i've got no teamtalk option with him. So i can't tell him i'm peeved he was sent off. That's annoying and AGAIN WITH THE BLIND ASSISTANT who after the game is still giving it the didn't see it, up to you crap! This really needs fixed, i know i'm supposed to see it but jeez it's like Assistants are blind! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

milnerpoint Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Does having the demo give you access to the Steam Workshop?

Didn't you say something similar last friday,Paul? I am not trying to be disrespectful in any way but you posted last week that you just needed more testing time and the progress was good. Can you give us a rough time frame for the update to come out so that i can not be so engaged in checking back so often in the hope? Please! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not trying to be disrespectful in any way but you posted last week that you just needed more testing time and the progress was good. Can you give us a rough time frame for the update to come out so that i can not be so engaged in checking back so often in the hope? Please! PaulC said this on Tuesday, in this thread: For those who keep asking we have said repeatedly we will roll out updates as and when we have something better that has completed it's QA cycle.As yet we have a work in progress situation for the ME, and no date set for any update. However as I also said, we are aiming to release one sooner rather than later. We have had a couple of good weeks of improvements and testing but are not quite there yet. I'd love to say it will be ready tonight or before the weekend but I can't be specific yet. Anyway, an overview of ME areas we have worked on so far: - Player ratings have been tuned a little further - Defensive lines have been pushed up the pitch a little more reducing shot count for some setups and also reducing crosses a little ( awkward as generally our shot count is about right but some human teams seem to have setups that cause higher ones ) - We've improved the detection of CCC's and Half Chances - Some work to improve logic of when players should shoot or not - A fair bit of work to the engagement of opponents who are on the ball - Fixed that under-hit corner to near post bug - Fixed keepers getting sent off for walking outside area with ball due to momentum - Improved goalie short distribution for some setups - Various other miscellaneous improvements and bug fixes Back to work now...thanks for your patience and constructive feedback Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cougar2010 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Paul, when you say nothing imminent, does that mean that tomorrow is unlikely as well?

BCFC_Mike Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Whats happening with the crazy amount of goals being scored? Not just from the user, but from games across the entire league too...

josev Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Personally if your strikers not scoring it's your tactics or lack of training I wouldn't be certain the update will change that i watch matches on full when i struggle and tweak tactics a lot; my strikers are getting plenty of chances but they're just too wasteful or reluctant to shoot when it's clearly needed. i don't think i could change that with tactics Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponish0 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Paul has said nothing is imminent, there is no point in speculating what his definition of imminent is he was not speculating, merely asking a question? Would it not be possible for SI to have a little more communication about the progress of the update? i understand they are reluctant to give dates or make promises they can not keep, but if they know they still have at least, say, 3 days at the very least until the update is released, can they not tell us that? they will not be breaking promises or letting anyone down as they are not saying when the patch will be ready by, just telling us when it definitely won't be ready to save us having to keep checking on here all the time.

Chris21 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 As I said the other day don't expect anything this week...testing takes time and I'm sure the majority would prefer it to be right. Paul's update also means I'll at least complete another season until the update I normally hang around in pre-season if an update is close so I can do my tactics again ready for it.

funnylittlefrog Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 game is far from unplayable That's completely subjective. You may well find it playable. Some do not. I am one of the latter. Whilst I'm sure it will be sorted I'm holding off on starting a proper game at the minute because there is a lack of realism in relation to the number of goals flying in everywhere (including matches I'm not involved with, before you bang the tactics drum). In my view that a game shouldn't be released with some of the glaring weaknesses which require a patch in this version. I've seen it said on here that all games are released like that. Two things: a) I don't care about other games, I've bought this one. And b) Every other developer going ahead with dodgy, customer blind practice is no excuse for this one to do so. I'm sure it isn't deliberate. I'm sure SI thought they were releasing a great game - and in some aspects they have, the off pitch stuff is excellent. But if that's the case it would suggest a longer pre-release testing period is required. And if that isn't possible, then resources should be put in to make it possible.

maciejgluszek Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Have you actually read his post? It's clearly unplayable for HIM Exactly. Of course some people say it's unplayable because they are not winning. Those people will complain no matter what SI does or doesn't do. But there are certain aspects of the game that make it unplayable for certain people. Like for me, for example. I put my save on hold. I play in Skrill North and there's a problem (acknowledged and is being fixed i hope) with players not resigning contracts and 90% of players not wanting to sign new contracts with the club so you basically have to look for a whole new squad. I'm not saying game is not playable. It is, it's probably the best game in the series. I'm saying i'ts not playable for me, because of little things.

Well in life much like business you'll never please everyone. Whatever you do there will always be a minority that aren't happy. If SI released a patch today that wasn't ready people would complain, when they do release it people will still complain. Just a few posts up you have a user complaining that last years ME was rubbish despite it being probably the best that anyone has ever released. We all want the game to be good, we all want the improvements to the ME but we want the improvements done right and not half arsed. Be patient and the patch will be ready when its ready!
