Sned Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Maybe this is already in there, but I can't seem to find it. From the squad screen, when picking your line-up, do you have to go down the 'tap square to left of player, then when you get redirected to the next page tap what position in the team you want them to play' route? Just makes picking your team seem a bit longwinded and tiresome sometimes, especially in a side with a big squad. Is there anyway there could be an option so that clicking the box to the left of the player puts them in the next available position (ie; first click, goalkeeper, next player clicked; right back etc etc). Entirely possible this doesn't bug anyone else but it would quicken up the game for me a fair amount. Also.. Where is Celtic's Daryl Murphy? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The picking you want is how it works on the iPad btw, the reason it doesn't work that way on the iPhone is theres no way of informing users which is the 'next position' available because of the very limited screen space.

wbarn Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Marc a small request for the next edition of the game.

SI Staff Marc Vaughan Posted June 7, 2011 SI Staff Share Posted June 7, 2011 Can you make the gulf in class when you make the jump from one division to the next more obvious. Back to back promotions does seem un-realistic from time to time. In real-life in England its very possible for a well organized / managed team to rise through the lower divisions quite quickly without hugely changing the personnel involved the first big test for teams is often when they reach the Championship and have to gain a promotion against ex-Premiership sides or ambitious Championship sides with money to spend, then obviously staying in the Premiership should you make it that far. That being said I have been tweaking the AI somewhat in the last few days (mainly manager squad selection and transfer AI - so expect this to be tightened up a little going forward which will make the game more realistic and challenging .... it will always be somewhat of a 'work in progress' however - same as the match engine, there will always be things which can improve it).

enthon Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Hi Marc Important question for me: Are you planning to implement in FMH 2012 a functionality to download your teams stats and skill information in any way? Would be comfortable if you are not be able to implement more statistical functions inside the game considering the hardware restrictions! Furthermore to win the CL is too easy. Normally I cannot be stopped by all the top teams in Europe after around 5 or 6 seasons if they are not promoted with lucky wins as supported by FMH. Means they are normally not in position to play me out just taking the advantage of the software is supporting with some one shot one goal performance denying my team a goal in 15 attempts. I would prefer if it is harder to beat this teams with more balanced results. Thank you Oliver Bye the way I just walked in 4 seasons from BSP to CH and I am already first on the ladder in March. Therefore straight walk to PRM in 5th season. Was quite easy! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bye the way I just walked in 4 seasons from BSP to CH and I am already first on the ladder in March. Therefore straight walk to PRM in 5th season. Was quite easy! As I mentioned I've been tweaking the AI which should improve this side of things, it is (as always) a balancing act though - without swelling your head I expect you know the game inside and out and are rather effective at managing .... which isn't the case with all users (I will try and challenge you more in the next version though ).

unbreak-able Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Not sure if this has been suggested, but I would like to be able to get a scout report from a player I would like to purchase with a selected member of my team. Its irritating how the system always tend to compare a player with the best in the squad (Fabregas in my case) and says that the player is far off the standard. When I get him, he instantly becomes a regular. Any way this could be implemented? ): And an 'Use current tactics and players unless injured' option when you intend to go on holiday, its dumb to see how the assistant will place a player in an awkward position ): Possible?

SI Staff Marc Vaughan Posted June 11, 2011 SI Staff Share Posted June 11, 2011 So what about Retina display? Its something which will hopefully 'pop into being' at some point - to be frank I've converted a handful of pages already and neither myself nor QA can really see a huge difference between it and the SD display, the font being used and the anti-aliasing techniques work pretty well on the retina displays imho .... As such its not something I'm rushing to do immediately (please bear in mind that implementing a new display resolution is a LOT of work, it'll happen - but its not critical and the additional pixels being shifted do slow down the retina devices slightly dropping the refresh of animated pages such as the match from 40-50Hz to around 20-30Hz, which I'll try and optimise further but simply put its shifting double the amount of data around the place).

Joninho Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 To start with, it's a brilliant game. I do not agree with the people that want more player/media interaction. Please keep it simple. I'm not interested in a game as detailed as the original Football Manger. I just want to have a game that is easy enough to use while sitting on the metro to work. What I would like to see is more young talented players in the DB. I do understand that we need there are issues of keeping the DB small enough for iphone. But there are to many players in the current DB that could be replaced with more interesting players that are big talents IRL. There is even stranger that a player like Zlatan Ibrahimovic isn't in the game if oyu only load the english leagues!? Due to that the DB includes players with a high WR there are a lot of 30+ players from all around the world that from a transfer point of view are totally uninteresting. Why having a pretty unkown 37 year old mexican or a 35 year old russian i the DB, when some of the biggest and brightest stars isn't include in the game? There a lot of 35+ in the lower english leagues that we could replace with some more interesting players too.. You do find the same problem i the real FM but due to the small DB in FMH it gets even more obvious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tylerazevedo Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I saw a few good ideas...like the sorting the player search results both ways and such. My one request is that scouting is improved. Don't get me wrong, I like the scouting system, I just think it takes way too long to scout. You can only scout 25 players at a time (I think). As it is, sending your scout out to scout for you is almost pointless because they will usually return the same players every time and half of the time they miss the young undeveloped kids. Also, every time you send your scout out, it clears out your previous scout reports, which basically defeats the purpose of scouting. I love how scouting works in the PC version of the game, but I realize that the mobile limitations prevent that. I do however think that another approach could work much better. The idea is that every team has a scouting level that can be upgraded via board requests. This would apply to how fast your scout will give you scout reports. Basically your scout will continuously be scouting players while you play, maybe only emailing you scout reports once a month or on the rare occasion when he finds the next wonderkid. Of course the user will be able to send the scout out manually as it currently exists, but when the scout is sent out he stops automatically generating reports until he has scouted all the players you have told him to scout. It should be easy to implement actually because all of the ability already exists in the game in some way or another. Basically it's a revamp of the scouting setup screen. Actually all it really is is that your scout is always assigned somewhere and the reports never get deleted. On the scouting setup screen you can set the age range and the location where you want your scout to start getting reports, although I doubt the location will even be needed since there are so few players from other countries compared to the one you are playing in...you might as well just always have it set on "world" anyway. Anyway, add that and it will make the game much easier to pick up and play. Most of the time I get discouraged when I try to play because there are so many players to scout, and it takes years to scout them all. Eventually though I get 100% of the players scouted, but yeah, it takes about 4 or 5 seasons. Then all you have to do is just scout under 21 and occasionally 19-25 and you won't miss any players. Also, it would be cool if you included a total of a player's ratings somewhere....like in the search screen and on the players individual screen. It's not information that we don't have, just an easy way to view it. You could even keep a small history of a players total points overall that is saved each season. This way we could actually look back and see how many overall points the player has grown. Not much of a memory hit, it would just be a few bits per player to save one number Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sy13 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 This is going to be very tricky to explain but I'll give it a go.... I'd really like to see a feature that shows the user exactly what effect the various decisions they made pre-match had on the game. For example, it would be a debrief screen that showed the key decisions made before the match and the ones made during it. Underneath each one would be an explanation of how this affected the teams performance and attitude during the game. It could all simply be wrapped up in Assistant Manager feedback whereby he tells you what could have worked better in hindsight and what was effective against that formation for example. The reason I'm suggesting this is because sometimes I will lose a match that I really shouldn't have (i.e. playing a cup game against a side 2 tiers below me) and I will lose it a few more times after some restarts before I eventually get a realistic performance/result (I only do this for experimentation purposes fwiw). Knowing WHY I lost a game rather than trawling through pages of numbers would be useful here. I hope I explained my point adequately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
