FM11 : all the nice unrevealed little additions you have noticed so far

[rmorgan93]

Revenue boosts come from signing players beside just top level players. For example, I signed Park Ji-Sung for Villa, and got a message that revenues would increase due to a huge merchandising boost in South Korea. Aces.

[damo666]

C. Ronaldo taking free kicks like he does in RL.

[Slick Mongoose]

I've notices that there are now different ratings for "Youth Facilities" and "Youth recruitment". Was that announced? Nice addition either way. Presumably Youth facilities affect how good your youth training is.

[Frame]

That lots of foreign players have way too many completed days for days to gain Nationality.

[urbanjunkie]

Do you chaps get the new offside feature where it displays and shows the line, confirming if it was offside or not?

I've yet to see this.

Korean players evidently have national service now, too.

Yeah i have seen it few times.

[Sheffield Sunday]

On the player motivation window widget once a game a played. I get nice new comments like 'Deserved his yellow card' or 'Is looking wound up', 'At risk of being booked' - really good touch.

[rune_star]

Is it just me, or are there new PPM's now?

I don't recall "plays one-two's" in FM2010? Can anyone confirm whether or not the new PPM's are just cosmetic like in '09, or if they actually 'work'? Would be great to have Xavi and Messi playing one-two's just outside the area ;-) Also what other new PPM's have you discovered?

There were there befre, it's just they weren't coded properly in FM10. now they are. Dictates Tempo.

[rune_star]

So you're saying that this time, it should be possible to set up two players with 'plays one-two's' and actually see them do that in the ME? It's something I've missed for a very long time ;-)

And how does 'Dictates tempo' work in the ME? Hold up ball? Raise creative freedom?

Yes. As for Dictates Tempo, it basiclly does for it say. It doesn't tweaks player instructions (no PPM does that), but the more Creative Freedom player has the more probably he is to use his PPM's.

I think this has been there since FM09 or atleast FM10.

Been there last year as well iirc

It used to tell you the no. of games played in the position, but i'm pretty sure it didn't give an average rating for each position.

[Quackje]

Theres some new bits in team stats on the league stats page I've found. You can list the clubs by average attendance as a % of stadium capacity which is quite a nice number to have.

[thankgodforquinn]

liking the bundled goals and ones being slid into the net, bit more realisim, and also crosses that beat the man or what could be described as going through their legs. got a bit sick of seeing my crosses in fm2010 hitting the first man (although i appreciate.. especially as a sunderland fan alot of crosses dont beat the first man)

[GioGio85]

I like the way you can get a player's staff profile to show through interacting with him and stating they would be a good coach

[jedman0]

I like how when you're assigning players' position now by right- clicking the order goes across the pitch, e.g. gk, then dr, then dcr, then dcl.... Instead of dr, then dl, then dcr..

Small, i know but i'm anal like that... Not in that way though.

This will take me a while to re-adjust to!

[JimmyIOCS]

This will take me a while to re-adjust to!

Haha, yeah. We're gonna be sending out our left back at centre back for a few months now.

[rune_star]

They've changed how the swap position feature works :-(

Previously I was able to swap positions off my front three, by setting the left forward to swap with central striker, who I had set to swap with the right forward. This worked a charm as all three of them would eventually play in all three positions. Brilliant if you have the players for it, and crucial in my Barca true-to-life tactics ;-)

Now, when you set a player to swap position, it also automatically sets the swap position of the other player, so you can no longer swap positions of three (or more) players... I'm sure there's a programming reason behind this, but it's still sad when features are removed from the game :-( So very sad...

Like the ability to 'sell' future clauses. Spurs were owed £400k after another 39 games that Carrick played for Utd. Board arranged for united to pay £300k now and forgo the extra 100k

well park is one of the biggest names from asia so if you can't get a revenue boost from him who are you going to get one from?

Was introduced in FM10

[Death Ball]

A pity that of the players swapping. I also would have liked it to work as before. Doesn't sound like a bug, either.

Apart from that and the coloured bars, which I don't really like, I love all those additions already mentioned. With a note among the preferred the distinction between the left and right central positions, great to be sure where opposition players are for OI and fielding players.

I like the new 3D, with the players looking of a more realistic size than before.

The new player motivational states.

The Apply All button in the job tab! That's one thing I've been wanting to see so much!.

[S'poreBBR]

yeah i think that was introduced in fm 10.

was it? I never knew how to do it on FM10

[Whoofe]

On the player motivation window widget once a game a played. I get nice new comments like 'Deserved his yellow card' or 'Is looking wound up', 'At risk of being booked' - really good touch.

yeah i like this feature as well

also "on the verge of losing discipline" is one i have seen

[ManUTactician247]

Backroom Advice telling you if people are unhappy with the amount of training they have and when trying to change preferred moves, the move you want them to perform is highlighted in blue so you don't have to scroll down endlessly looking for it

[Death Ball]

when a scout finishes an assignment there's a button to add them to your shortlistl if you want.

EDIT: also at each update of players found.

[Los_Culés]

I´ve just beaten an opponent 3-0 and the rival manager criticised me, that my players should have taken the opportunity to shoot rather than try to walk the ball into back of the net. Haha, what a jerk! How he can say this after 3-0?

[Jo Hack]

Penalty shoot out on 3D match screen is a bar across the center now, really good

Were you playing witn Forest? Did Forst win?

The in-game player status now shows whether your players are in danger of losing their cool plus if they are injured but reckon they can run it off. Useful for opp players too, so if someone is wound up I press them more, see if I can get them sent off.

[Jibby123]

Biographies for staff.

Having your favourite staff/disliked staff set for you depending on what club you support.

I've not downloaded the demo, but do you also have a biography for yourself in FM11?? As in your managerial history written up as the biographies for players are on FM10??

[Trents]

One of my hates in FM10 was the fact that fans were always pleased with a win and disappointed with a loss. In FM11 the fan feedback post match is not so black and white now with more details of which players are impressing them.
