pgaffney Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 SI, can you please, please, please fix custom views. There is a lot of very powerful information available through them (whereas the default views are very weak and hugely wasteful of space at higher resolutions), but they're an absolute nightmare right now.1. Moving columns around is tricky to gauge. 2. Resizing columns is an exercise in frustration because it never works consistently. 3. Some kinds of columns behave differently than others (e.g. the Last 5 Games bars). 4. Some columns are left-aligned. Others are right-aligned. Some don't have the right amount of padding (e.g. squad number). 5. Columns regularly get kicked off the right side of the screen even when space is available, forcing you to go through several menus to fix them. 6. The auto-size feature is, again, inconsistent and behaves differently every time you use it. 7. Even when you've got everything set up and saved how you like it, a misclick can ruin everything. Why isn't there a lock feature?! 8. Going in and out of other screens sometimes messes up views entirely: when I go in and out of a player screen, it resets my team selection view. All of this is incredibly frustrating, and it's been this way for years. We need a much more robust system that lets players display the information they need in the way they want it to be displayed. It's working even worse than it was in FM14. I could not agree more! Resizing columns should work exactly the way they do in spreadsheets. Sized from the right, independently of all other columns. Also, we should be able to resize the new "Eve Online-esque" menu bar on the left side of the screen. At the very least we need an option to only display icons so we can recapture some much needed screen space. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the very least we need an option to only display icons so we can recapture some much needed screen space. It seems that columns that are center-aligned (like Determination, Training performance, Media Handling style) are the ones that gives major headaches. They are a nightmare because they have to keep the text centered, so when resizing other columns the size of these change to conform to the available space on screen. Having 3 center-aligned columns next to each other is just asking for trouble. The left-aligned columns seem to behave nicely though. Please make left-, center- and right-aligned columns resize the same way.... or just stop having center-aligned columns. Another problem with center-aligned columns is that you can't see where the edge is on the header, so you have to move the mouse along the header until the cursor changes. It would be nice with a border between the headers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just done the group stage draw in the second season and there are 6 english teams in the champions league this year?? Is this possible or is it a bug? This shouldn't be able to happen.

HappyStreet Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I am going to have to be honest, i really dont see what purpose the new tactical screen serves. It is change for the sake of change and it has made it much more irritating to create, change and quickly inspect your tactics. Before you had a players Role, Att Supp or Def and Condition all to the right where you saw the tactic. Now you have it all to the left? Doesn't make any sense.

Even though the rules have changed to give an automatic spot to the Europa League winners, the maximum number of CL entrants per country is 5 rather than 6. I believe you can have six now per country. Four spots are reserved for the top countries through league positions. Another two spots are available for CL winners and Europa League Winners. So yeah, six teams from one country is possible as this guy shows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChelseaFan Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 The new tactics interface screen is horrible.In last year's version I could change a player's role/duty with two clicks and I could see every players' roles and duties on the lineup picture. Now I have to click 4-5 times to change duties/view important attributes. And I have to scroll down the list of players to make substitutes. Absolutely atrocious. (Other than that, I've been mostly happy with FM15 though.) Quoting this. Hopefully it gets changed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig_killie Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Can't you just look in your tactics before a game? Why should you have to? Information about which position your players play should be one of the most important things on the team selection page before the game. Certainly more relevant than a coloured "fitness" circle which tells you the exact same information as the fitness percentage listed beside it.

Norfair Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I have a question for you beta people. What's player interaction like? Is it the same as FM14 or has anything changed? Do players constantly want to go on loan, but in 99% of the cases accept it when you say no? Any new useful things you can tell your players? Like for example, "I want to play this guy in your position to test him out for a few games, you're gonna have to accept sitting a few games out" (not likely but I'm hoping for it). In FM14 we had two or three options to tell players we were gonna rest them, but they were all linked to players being tired. Basically if there's anything new in player interaction, I'd like to know about it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexej25 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 After playing the beta for one season, here is my first feedback 1.) I enjoyed FM 14 more than any other manager game out there. Unfortunately, FM 15 is unplayable for me until now due to this exhausting skin. White font on black background is sometimes impossible to read and too small (especially FM is a game which you play for hours, but with the current colors, it makes my eyes hurt). I really really really hope that a white skin will be implemented (not only as option, but as standard, because with the current weird color combinations I am sure that reviewers and users will be very dissatisfied -- or maybe it is just me, i do not know ) 2.) The tactics screen (which is basically one of the most important screens of all) is so confusing and unnecessary difficult. Plus having a circle AND a percentage for the fitness is unnecessary. The tactics in FM 14 were surprisingly easy to do, why change a winning system? 3.) Maybe it is just me, but very often the game does not recognize my "touches" on the trackpad of my Macbook Air. In roughly 3 out of 10 times I have to click the trackpad instead of just touching it. That does not sound like a big problem but many Macbook users are accustomed to touch the trackpad instead of clicking it. Imagine your computer mouse would only respond every 2nd time you click it.
