Acss Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Well yeah. That's what I've always done. I've never found it that useful to stay in the tactics screen for any selection work - there's just not enough room for all the data I want to be able to see. That's moving back and forth "n" times, select player from squad screen then go back to tactics and give him instructions...what if you realize the player is not a good choice...go back to the squad screen, select another one, then back to tactics...wtf? quite unnecessary. You could see all necessary data before in the tactics screen, once you used proper customized columns. Not valid anymore...thus, our biggest disappointment this year.

Pr3D@T0r Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 A few thoughts: Negatives/Tweaks: - Agree with the tactics feedback - if we could get the relevant info (role, fitness %, etc.) more logically placed and team selection sorted, that'd be great. - 2D pitch... far too vibrant colours. I doubt I'll ever move to the 3D match engine so the look of 2D is important (as I'm sure it is for many other players). If this can be toned down and easier on the eye that'd be appreciated. - Inbox news colours... once again far too stark and vibrant and hurts my eyes. Now to the positives: + Love the sidebar - FM14 was so clunky and cumbersome to navigate around. Much better. + Scouting is AWESOME. All from me for now!

Auqakuh Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I think someone else may have mentioned this already given the length of the thread, but all the same: training workloads for coaches appear to be off. Three coaches is not enough to cover large squad sizes for attacking, defending, ball control, and shooting. I'm not entirely sure if attributes is playing a role here, but if it is (and things are working as intended), this could be made more apparent.

Valencia7 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Is it because you have added columns to the player selection/information and the subs row on the right hand side has disappeared off screen to the right?

But I'm an anal retentive and set up specific tactical instructions for every single player, which means I only have to tweak OIs for specific match situations. I never change my tactics in any significant way pre-match (prefer to change them as I see em and I'm a rigid "you will find a way to beat us" versus "we will find a way to beat you" kinda manager), so none of this ever comes up for me!

cleaner475 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Is it because you have added columns to the player selection/information and the subs row on the right hand side has disappeared off screen to the right? No, it wasn't there to start with. You can because the pitch shouldn't be that size, there should be a bigger gap between the bottom of the pitch and the edge of the screen. It's pretty likely a display issue hence why not everyone can see the subs bar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruh Roh Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 The Odegaard thing will probably make more people play with database edits, which should be interesting. I used to always mass delete players with negative potentials worse than like -5 - I like the PA system in general but you'll see U18 teams at lower clubs set to "everyone is terrible" which isn't necessarily fair. I'd rather let the game populate them (plus that will give me regens instead of grey pictures) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shake Appeal Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Are you using a Target Man? What Roles do your defenders have? What level are you playing at? No, a lone DLF(s). Defenders are WB(a)-CD(d)-CD(d)-WB(s), and I've even set "Fewer Risky Passes" on the wing backs. Then only playmaker in the team is in the right CM slot.

xambo Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 One major issue I had was the lag in the 3D match engine when I have it on main stand camera view. I have a high-end PC and have 5 stars rating PC graphics performance. Of coarse the game automatically had the setting on very high graphics but like I said it was very choppy and lags. When I lower it to high, it does get better. Maybe it just needs some more optimization from your part as it is still a beta. Other than that the game so far is fantastic.

Wizard boy Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 So whats the overall opinion on fm 15 so far? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roykela Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Just started a little while ago. Immediate first impressions. All in all it's a major improvement. I was a bit worried about the sidebar but i find it to be very good. I like the UI on a general note. Find it very responsive apart from when using the side-buttons on the mouse to move forward or backward one screen (or more). But that has always been a very minor problem. Like the new in-match team shouts. I might forget about them at first but love the implementation. Only played one match and i liked what i saw there. A few things i noticed but they're already on the "known issues" list. The gripes i have so far are: Tactical screen. Although i don't find it as much of a problem as many here it does feel clunky and unintuitive. It was, for me, perfect the way it was in FM14. I found that absolutely brilliant. This time it was a couple of steps backwards. Also the part where selected players still show up when you want to choose substitutes. One thing that does make me pull 1/67 of my hair out is the customised screen. It has never worked very well but this time (i do know it's a beta, so i'm fairly certain it'll get better) it's terrible. I'm unable to set up customised screen as at least one column always ends up disappearing on the right side. I can remove it and add it again and it's fine....until i return to the screen. Re-sizing the columns is an absolute nightmare. Sometimes it re-sizes the column i want. Other times it takes all to the left of the mouse pointer, and other times just a few columns. The disappearing of the columns though has always been there, in my experience. But only triggered when there were too many columns to fit the screen. As i can only adjust the columns after i've added them there will always be a column that'll disappear and i'll never get it back. A couple of other things as well. When i set up a new game i set it up with All leagues in all nations. A "select all" button would be handy. Possibly with a little warning. Another thing, which very likely is a personal issue for me, is the Job Centre. As i load all leagues, that screen can be very slow because all nations are selected by default. I would've done it the other way around. Only the country you would be managing in would be selected the first time you go there. From there on you can add nations, instead of having to remove. One final thing. I can't remember if it was in the known issues list but during a match my graphics card is ready to become the UFO newspaperstory number 1. Just waiting for the damn thing to fly off to space. Sounds like it's revving the hyperdrive. I do have it on maximum settings though and will probably tone it down a bit. Conclusion: Have played very little but love the game so far. Massive step in the right direction, bar a couple of mentioned things Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
limbo messiah Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Not sure if it's a bug, or just something i "feel" soo ---> i think its feedback played against Barcelona with Leverkusen on the first champions league matchday. mascherano got sent off after 9 mins. Instead of subbing a player to go for the CDM position (Bartra and Busquets were on the bench, Pique and Mathieu as CBs on the pitch), Enrique decided to move Pique to the CDM Position and made the wing backs play more defensively.... which my fast attacking system easily killed (time to time there were 6vs4 attacks, 4vs4 regular normal non-counter attacks) after 35 minutes i was 6:0 up front. for the 2nd half he brought Busquets and played with 4 defs again. game ended 8:3... sooooooo, point one: ridicolus result! .... kinda. point two: ridicolus reaction. i would have brought up a new CDM right after the sent off. it's champions league and leverkusen being the 2nd strongest side of the group (worthy points!), first intl. cup game and other reasons. if not, if i was down 4:0 after 23 mins then i would've subbed anyways, pkm uploaded, and another 2 pkms with high results....

Sussex Hammer Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Haven't played any of the Beta but I am reading the thread with intrigue. Re The Tactics screen issue that many seem to be mentioning about not being able to choose roles and duties on the "Formation screen" I would see that as a great shame if it stays that way. Personally, bar subs, I never used the left side of the screen at all, always tinkering with roles duties and positions on the "formation screen" which was easy enough to do and very user friendly. It also was a great screen to upload on any tactics thread when asking for advice because all is there on one screen and easy on the eye. In post 1053 the whole left side looks far to cluttered and you could get rid of half of that by just adding roles and duties as per last year. If it ain't broke don't fix it!!! Neil..... If enough people moan could it change back for the final release? Must say though the seemingly added positions of players just in front, or just behind are extremely exciting. I have been crying out for that for years!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
