elliottlufc09 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Hi Elliott, as mentioned previously, our injury levels are actually slightly lower than real life levels. This is either bad luck or the result of a harsh training regime. Is Antenucci injury prone perhaps? I have training set with the focus as team cohesion and average intensity so I don't think that should be pushing them too hard? Players are complaining about not getting enough individual attention but no one has complained about the workload yet. Is it the natural fitness attribute that affects injury proneness? If so, Antenucci has 15 for natural fitness so it must just be bad luck he's had so many injuries! Thanks for the reply by the way, it is appreciated.

TheBigBoss Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I don't have a shoot on sight policy but my players love taking too many shots from 25+ yards is this happening to anyone else or is it just me ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormenDK Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 No, but i'm willing to post my concerns here. I only just saw how active you are in this thread right now, which i appreciate. http://puu.sh/cnYyJ/8196564ee9.jpg Here we have FM14, on the right side i can access everything i need to create and manage my tactics. I have direct visual feedback and can change things with a few clicks and imagine easily how it will play out. All the other options are on the right side too so that i can switch around fast and without making long ways with my mouse (it sounds ridiculous but that has a huge impact on feeling comfortable with an UI). On the left side i can look at player information and look at my squad structure, can see who is fit or needs match fitness or is injured to organize my substitutes. This was great UI design if you ask me and maybe SI didn't know how functional there tactical screen already was. http://puu.sh/cnYLU/f2867eb38c.jpg Here is the new UI. The first thing that we see, and the most annoying thing is that almost all functionality has been stripped from the tactical visualization. I can still click on it and change things but as all directly visible information has been passed to the right side it's tiresome and inefficient, so the right screen is basically useless. But the shift to the left side has taken away all the space to display information, just look how much space every player takes up, i can fit much less players on the screen without scrolling than in FM14 http://puu.sh/cnZcv/515964920d.jpg Here's a side-to-side comparison. On the right side we have efficient use of space: Roles, duties, team instructions, mentality, substitutes etc+ Visualization (!). On the left side we have bloated space, weird icons (those circle icons are really bad, i have to look very close to see the difference between almost full and full) and there is no way to see the stats + the stats that the role requires. This might seem small and i know that i will adapt to it but it's an unneccessary step back, i hope i could explain what bothers me about it. I have to completely agree ... the new Tactics screen is horrid to work with. Here are my gripes with it currently: No indicators as to role and duty on the field screen. Having to read through the list on the left to find a specific position's role/duty. Text overload and it is too compressed to easily read. Pick player only shows anyone with 'green' competence in a position. So useless for setting players out of position. Unable to set a position directly for the player on the '-' button/field. This makes it hard on small screens to select substitutes. Especially for training matches. Unable (AFAIK) to customize 'Pick Player' view. Pick Player view. Needs a column for selected position. It is a mess for substitute selection before the game. Or at least filter out players already in the starting eleven. Also if you sort on a column, that selection is not saved for next substitute. I just don't understand the concept of having the selection list on top of your roster. It was much easier to deal with in the FM14 screen. Especially if you have a long roster (or show U21/18 squads). Games: Still wayyyyy too many bad back passes that end up as a corner kick. Often unprovoked. This has been an issue at least since FM13. Not all corners are shown on Comprehensive. In FM14 corners were always shown on Comprehensive and Extended. The players still look like they skate on ice. Often they can't stop and continue a meter or 3 past a player, then stop and turn to face him. UI: Customizing views is still a mess and have been for several years. Basically since they were introduced. I think I have reported problems with them since FM11 or something like that. Resizing columns is still a huge chore, and often added columns don't show up afterwards. This I will report in the bug forum as I have an example of that.

FM1000 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 We actually have slightly too few shots when compared with real life numbers (though it's marginal). Shot accuracy is pretty much spot on when compared to real life figures as well. This has always bugged me in every FM i have played since i can remember. I mean i can understand in LLM if players miss open goals and make bad shooting decisions but at the very top its alarming how many times a top player makes the worst shorting decision, about which foot to use and where to shoot, most of the time if they are central they shoot it straight at the keeper or if wide in the side net. Also they like using their weaker foot if cutting inside no matter what PPM or attributes they have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham206 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Something I'm finding annoying is that drop down menus don't seen to operate consistently. With some I can click on the drop down to keep it open while I negotiate the next drop down but others keep closing if my cursor wanders off the precise place. The one that was particularly irritating me was 'Make Available for Under 21s> Until Match Fit>For X Minutes. I keep losing them all and having to re-open them one after another, then my cursor slips off the menu & they all disappear, start over. I'd really like it to be that if a drop down has sub-menus I can always click on the first to keep it open while negotiating the sub menu. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonBlade Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 CONSTRUCTIVE feedback please. I know you keep saying this Neil, and it's important to ensure that this is a feedback thread and not a headless-chicken whine thread. But isn't the "x is terrible" a tacit comparison between the way that things have worked for umpteen versions and how they are now in FM15? If this is the first version of FM then it can be argued that more explanatory feedback is a boon. As it's the nth iteration then it's obviously bad in comparison to the older versions and, as SI know what they've changed, then you also know what particular elements are considered bad. "They've changed it now it sucks" as the trope goes. tl;dr the answer to "what's wrong" is "all the UI stuff that's different to FM14". Damn you muscle memory.

Tharrow Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Just a quick post to say that the new change to how the lineups are displayed in a formation is brilliant. Instead of having them in a perfectly straight line, in the Favourite Formation bit and the tactics screen, the defensive/deep-lying layers are slightly deeper than the attacking player. This now conveys a ton more information about a formation just by visually looking at it. I know that this isn't the biggest change or anything but that little thing is so genius in how it conveys information that I thought I'd mention it. Also, there still seems to be no borderless windowed mode which is a real pain for multi-screen users. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
piter09 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I think the tactic doesn't work. I've set it to short passes, retain position, play out of defence and defenders very often plays long balls to the striker. And it seems to me, there are too many long balls, I just want to settle on the opposition's side and play short passes, like it was in 14 with the same tactic.

Warhawk Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 2 things I feel important enough to me to mention, even if they might not be important to everyone else. 1. I would really like the roles to be indicated on the pitch layout on the tactics screen like they were last year. I don't even need an option to change them there, it's just too much cross-referencing with the list for my liking. It would help to get a better overview of my tactics to be able to see that at a glance. 2. The touchline camera angle, which I prefer, doesn't move as far down the pitch as it used to, so that corner kicks take place on the very edge of the screen. This is particularly jarring when I come out of simulation to corner kick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGB_SPURS_FM09 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I'm not 100% sure how I can be constructive and help you fix the issue... But I can say that there is a lot of "crosses" that always seem to be described by the commentary as "He almost got lucky with that" or "He certainly didn't mean that" Doesn't seem very realistic to me the amount it happens. Also a lot of the players toes seem to be pointing inwards as if they all have a dodgy walking stance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhawk Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 If you have a mouse wheel, if you roll it out does it zoom out? Yes, and it helps get everything on the screen, but I do prefer it to be zoomed in generally, and even beyond that, it just kinda makes the viewing angle on corners seem wonky, since you're not really looking down at the players at that point, but looking at them a bit sideways.

Also i can understand why some would not like the new UI and the tactics screen, but for what its worth i really like it, to me everything is in the right place and when it comes to making tactic changes i find that it's making me think a little more about my decisions which is certainly a good thing!!

Mikke Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 We are aware of some performance issues some users are encountering. What resolution is your machine running in? Have you tried on medium settings? How does it run on medium?This wasn't for me, but I'll answer anyway. On FM14 I played with Very High, had no performance problems. Now I have to go to Medium, which runs like a dream but looks awful. This year Low looks almost better. For some reason the colors with Medium setting are insanely bright, higher and lower settings both have much more realistic colors.EDIT: I know this is just a beta, but still.

PGB_SPURS_FM09 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Also I don't quite understand why you have changed the tactics screen so drastically. It was always very useful to be able to right click your players PKD status and it would assign them to the next open squad slot. This was particularly useful when choosing your substitutes as you could do it in 7 right clicks. Now you have to left click then select your player, which is also difficult since it is hard to tell who hasn't already been selected yet... If I go to left click a squad slot to add a player, and then filter the list by position, then when I go back to the list when choosing my next player/squad slot I have to filter the list by position again. Lots of clicks now compared to very few before. I hope going back to the way it was previously is possible. Or atleast something inbetween the two. Otherwise I think this is a very nice skin/layout compared to previous years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

treble_yell_:-) Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 This UI is pretty frustrating. I'd really like to see basic functionality like right clicking on sub or player removing them from that position. Sorry guys but having to do additional clicks (over 14) or moving my mouse from the right > left > right over is just a lesson in frustration. The Ui is a real mixed bag, some of the new stuff is really good (scouting screen) but even that can be frustrating as there is a hotlink to positional attributes on the report screen , but no hotlink back to the report screen ( and backspace doesn't take you back either) There just seems to be lots of blocks of empty space or solid colour and lots of scrolling and clicking to do features that were very well refined in FM14.
