An Olive Branch Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 It's a really minor thing, but in past versions when you clicked on the profile of a free agent, the top section of the profile would be colour coded to match his country (eg it would be dark blue if he was Scottish, etc). In this version, all free agents seem to have this burgundy and yellow concoction. As I said, it's nowhere close to a major issue, but I did prefer the older way. Maybe I'm just getting old and not as receptive to change anymore I feel the same and SI have flagged it as something they will discuss in the bugs forum. No guarantee anything will come of it. I understand the reason for distinguishing between free agents in national teams and those not, but given how few are I'd rather it be national colours, and anything other than red and gold which clash horribly on my particular screen/seetings Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Rowell Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I believe that the Create a Club was made the way it is so that the same feature can work on full fat FM and FMT. Those modes have databases that are different, so some things can't be edited as it could break functionality with the other game mode.To do what you want Lord Rowell just use the normal editor when its released. Hopefully at some pouint in a future FM the two game modes can use the same database. I understand that but we just shouldn't have to. Re. the database issue if that is the case, SI should have thought about that before their marketing - no excuses for them from me! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Olive Branch Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 When you get your periodical staff reports, it includes suggestions to change player role etc. I'm aware FM has lots of tactic options like just setting roles to players, instructions to roles, or something along those lines but I never use them.

-Nelly- Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Game speed between highlights seems very slow, even with the slider at max. Could just be my laptop performance, but FM15 was fine. Also, strangely in matches I can't seem to expand the 'team ratings' widget for my team to make it big enough to include substitute players, but I can do with the opposing team's ratings. And, as others have said, I'm not a fan of the blurring background at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawlore you were pretty spot-on the mark and you obviously follow these things closely. Lots of us don't follow such things as closely. If I think I'm "creating a club" then what SI have given us doesn't 'create a club'. As you said and I agree, the limitations seem unnecessary. it kind of is a start-from scratch concepthaving explored it you rename a club you're given the option to wipe their history you're given the option to wipe their affiliates you're given the option to clear the backroom staff (the board is retained though) you can change the reputation and attendance you can change the kit colours (should be able to change design too, but there's issues right now) you CANNOT change the finances you then move onto a squad, which is (by default) the club you rewrite you do have the option to retain them all, or clear them all if you want you can create players - to the extent that you can in the editor (although not reputation or dual nationality) you're then given the budget (comes from the initial squad finances) to create a first-team squad (the reserves/u21s/u18s are retained) the players that were originally there that don't get retained get released on a freebie Yep, but within those stadia / revenue / financial limits is key - hence you're not creating a club. Instead, you're making cosmetic modifications to a current club, or engaging in "fantasy draft" - which is fine if you want to play that ... but its not creating a club. IMO it is mis-sold - and its unnecessary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Internomad Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Not entirely sure of the point of this post but today I've been laughing along at the points showing how terrible the newgen faces are, but for the last wee while I've been sat at my desk kind of playing FM whilst studying, with FM up on my large TV on the other side of the room. When my new youth recruits came through, with the benefit of distance some (not all) of their pictures actually could pass as photographs. Not sure if I got a good bunch or just being too close to screen harms them, but there are obviously good faces in there somewhere! How do you get to play FM on your TV?

Maw74 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Liking lots of what I see in FM16 but I am really disappointed with the limitations of Create-a-club.The title implies that you can create your own fantasy club, presumably with players of your choice, you have licence to dream. In reality this is not the case because: - you can't edit finances hence... - ... you can't edit the wage bill hence... - .. you can't add your own / create your own players, expect within very strict limits Hence, the create-a-club options are very cosmetic e.g. playing colours, name, badge. So, you're not really creating a club at all. People will have different ways in which they wanted to use this. For me, I wanted to use it to edit a current club e.g. my beloved Sunderland, make a few tweaks re. the badge, stadium, and then add a team of legendary former players. Whatever people will use this for they'll have one thing in common, they want, in some way or other, to indulge themselves. But the restrictions mean we can't do this, the creativity is very very limited. Why have you done this, SI? I suspect I have an answer, that this is meant to dovetail with "fantasy draft" and I understand there would need to be limitations for that in order to have game balance. However, forcing these limitations on the single player is a mistake IMO. Furthermore, I will be frank with you, this is not "creating a club" and as it stands, you have mis-sold the product. I know this is Beta and you may make changes but, even at Beta level, this is pretty poor, SI. Constructive suggestions: - remove all limitations on create-a-club. Let people edit their stadium size, finances, wage bill, add new players, create their own players (unlimited, beyond "2" please) - by all means, put some kind of lock in if people wish to play fantasy draft - that's understandable, but don't force it on the rest of us - think about how you market things, and whether the reality sits with that - because when it doesn't you lose goodwill, and people don't buy your product. I've skipped editions of FM because of lost goodwill, that means you lost my money, and one day we won't come back Strong criticism from me - now take it on the chin SI I was looking forward to this feature because I play FMC (FMT) but sorry to say that I am also disappointed with the limitations of Create-a-club. Can't do quite as much as I was expecting/hoping as I had a few ideas for saves. Having said that maybe it's partly because I found a workaround on FMC15 and still very much enjoying that save.
