Lord Rowell Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I am still playing with the photo / face thingy, this will keep me amused for a while yet I uploaded a pic & did the thing, it was great, except that I now look like I'm from the South-Asian subcontinent - probably cos the photo was slightly dark!

tlm_77 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Looks almost identical to last year (which is a good thing - and love the skin) but i'd be really happy if you could tell me how I can look at a players attributes on their profile WITHOUT the 'role' stats being highlighted...I hate that. I know I can turn it off by selecting 'clear selected role' but that's not a permanent turn off and as soon as you click away and then back again, the key role stats are highlighted again... Please advise me on how to turn off permanently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SI Staff Nic Madden Posted October 18, 2016 SI Staff Share Posted October 18, 2016 9 minutes ago, warlock said: First issue: I like the new Squad Depth screen with player depth for each position, but 433wide isn't in the formation list, and you can't drag players in the 433narrow to recreate the formation. And there's no "current formation" option even if 433wide has been created in the 'tactics' screen. The same issue seems to apply if you want an asymmetric formation - the 4141-asym formations are included, but you can't create, say, a 442 with a wide-mid player pushed up to the AM line. Unless I'm missing something, this seems like a major oversight! Thank you Warlock for your feedback. 4-3-3 Wide is not one of the default formations, so this is the reason this is not selectable on the Squad Depth drop-down. You can select 4-2-4 Wide if you would like a "wide-mid player pushed up to the AM Line". I do like your idea about having a "Current Formation" drop down. I suggest you post this in the UI Section for a feature request idea or on a wishlist. Cheers, Nic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firehouse Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 So the roles are now basically un-editable. Before I could set my central midfielder to act more like central winger, but now for most roles you can't set with the ball options, etc. This is poor for me. I always liked to customize the roles for my needs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The formation from the 'tactics' screen (however you've customised it, is in the formations list in the 'squad depth' screen.

Jonny2J Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Started a game as Arsenal as I normally do on a BETA (or with a similar sized club to get used to things) and quite liked how I was given the option of retaining Wenger on my staff.

If the former... the game is now looking for the default skins in the new location and cant find them (manually copy them over) .. if the latter.. they probably wont work with the new game and you'll have to wait for them to be updated by the creator.

Sorry for confusing you too No worries Warlock, it is best to raise things overall and thanks for the reply, glad you like the FR, I think it is a great addition to the game myself, very helpful when taking over a team that you don't know every player. I would definitely post the wish list idea of current formation as a choice in the UI Thread, though I am sure most formations should be covered by the drop-down :).

Dagenham_Dave Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 First impressions on starting the game is that everything looks exactly the same as FM16 - Usually there's quite a few cosmetic changes, but apart from the team report screen, I've yet to view a screen that's in any way different from the last one. On the one hand, that's great for familiarity, but slightly disappointed at the same time, I like a bit of freshness to the UI every year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
