Alongside to that, which likely won't be revealed much in the videos, further refinement to AI picks and decision making. My benchmark for that is how well does that supposedly premium AI manager do with a team, and how well does a human player do with the same team, and how much has that player really stretch to outperform it long- and shortterm, provided he doesn't make any bad decisions along the way, bad management in the form of chopping stuff randomly around whenever he hits onto a run of no results, etc. (as so frequently the case due to bad myth going places everywhere -- i.e. tactics get "cracked" or need to be changed wholesale at every turn to keep AI "guessing", when realistically any run can be influenced by the fixture list already and rotten luck, or indeed, good fortunes). There's still stuff there that might not hugely affect every game, but it costs points and impacts conversion stats long-term. Like, it's no fun watching the "elite" say fielding CRonaldo as a lone forward off a flat midfield formation and making him run far ahead of everyone else via the job assigned to his, which naturally is more pronounced when the opposition's defense drops deep immediately also killing any possible through ball alongside to it, so when he gets the ball he tends to be CRonaldo and blast it -- he would be slightly more inclined to even if he actually HAD options around his. Makes him easier to 'fend off too. There's stuff in there that lacks behind totally Beginner's Guides from like five years ago. It's very much understood that FM ain't a hardcore tactics sim first and foremost, but that's a bit extreme as it is nothing you see much of when watching top level football... There might be gaps, and players occasionally isolated, but it might be due to lack of gelling and communication and fluidity, not repeating on each spell of possession due to some deliberately tactical choice. I totally would not mind if the assistants were upgraded to the level where should the human manager insist on doing it all himself, they'd optionally flat out tell him what effect some of this can have, like phoning in of everything, perhaps even better yet as you suggested introducing visual cues on the tactics screen what things look like when transitioning from defense to attack. Alongside improvements to AI picks naturally comes improvements to assistant manager picks themselves too, should he go with the assistant either way. Speaking of which, possibly and arguably much needed improvements to assistants could very well feature in there -- whilst it was introduced with the best of intents, I shudder to think of anyone taking most of his advice at "face value", in particular during a match. :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(beyond the little bits we already knew from the teaser) I'm lacking a bit of imagination to kick that off myself. Not really expecting much other than a few carefully polished details here and there, a few extra media stories, refinement all around, etc. Fingers crossed for a big advancement in tactics, I'd like to see a revamp of "fluidity" which is plain senseless/ambiguous to me; clearer distinction between off the ball and on the ball shape (even if all the roles and stuff are kept the same and it's just some UI demonstration of how your tactic should look like once you grab the ball); more sophisticated options for dealing with transitions and for pressing... Maybe it's about time goalies can commit penalties and can play as more aggressive sweeper keepers too, Neuer-style. This. And maybe even get rid of the tedious morale manager which is called team talks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChelseaSince86 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Team talks and squad meetings etc are going nowhere, theyre part of a managers job. My guess is something new to do with the 3D manager whether it be on the setup menu or during the 3D engine they have new animations. Or being able to do similar to FIFA's gameface..

Keyzer Soze Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I could be wrong, but i'm not expecting any major new features. We know that it will be a new staff roll (Data Analyst), but i don't know the impact that it will have in the game. It seems much more like a new way to show the information that we already have in the game. In the last two version of the game (15 and 16) i only play the Touch version (in a Ipad) and i really like it, and to be honest i think that for FMT17 theres no new to add much more. Improve what's already in the game, and that's about it. Of course, the editor would be a nice new feature. I got the fealing that the game as reach a level that it's very hard to present a new feature that would blow us away. The game already covers 99% of everything that happens in the football world, so what can they do? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyzer Soze Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 i gotta agree with crispypaul, The tendency in the last years was to simplify the training (and also the tactics) in the game, so i would be very surprise if they went in the opposite direction by giving us more tools to manage in the training. In the end of the day you are the manager, not the field coach. We decide the major aspects of the training (defensive, attacking, balanced...) and the rest of the training team to the rest. What could be improved, should be the output (information) that we received from that training. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In current terms, I do not have enough tools to evaluate what is the transfer from trainings to games. Analyzing what is your training focus vs in game results does not seem enough. Whilst I can kinda understand where you are coming from training within FM serves two purposes - To improve a player & the match training. In terms of the player its function is either to improve attributes, learn a position or learn a PPM, nothing more & nothing to do with form. The output we see as users is the new position, new PPM or improvement in attributes. While the match training simply gives your team a small boost in that area. Training overall I feel is the area that has chopped & changed the most over the last 20 years and SI have never come up with something that fits perfectly but what we have now is about the best we've had. Can it be improved further, probably but it needs an idea that works, is fairly straight forward for the user & benefits the game - Answers on a postcard.

AFCBeer Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I'd like to see more of a link between training choices and tactical fluidity.
