I can sense another "We added 5000 new features" which we cant even find or notice in the game. 'Sigh'. Added a pixel here and there x900. Added one frame to an animation x100. There's 1,000 'changes'. On a more serious note, I see there's a 'press officer', whether that is a new staff member or is a feature being dragged out from the Fans section under the boards tab, I'm not sure. I also see they have polished up some of the media stuff, like the match reports and so on. Not strictly new, but er, improved. The data analysis staff member seems to present the prozone stats, but I think it remains a 'here's the tools' sort of feature and not a, 'here's how to interpret the tools' thing, so while some people will take advantage of it, especially the gurus over on the Tactics forums, I'm not sure how much it will help the average player who isn't sure of how to interpret the data. I hope it doesn't become one of those things where the staff member says something completely irrelevant (akin to assman advice), because that would just add to muddying the waters. Actually, can imagine people getting too hung up on it, like they did with the roles 'pie' for role suitability in FM16. Basically, I think it's a powerful feature that is going to cause headaches for the average player. The new (I think its new) Team Report page looks great. Also interesting to see players studying for qualifications, but not sure that's new... I see the manager can now have preset 'types' like 'motivator' and 'youth developer' and 'Knowledgable" and 'Taskmaster' and 'Tactical... genius?" - I assume that's at least '6' new changes , and would offer pre-set manager attribute changes for those keen on roleplaying? Not sure it is needed though, I thought the whole manager attributes thing is better if you just adjust to do as you see fit. I'll be interested to see if certain attributes remain more important than others. I.e. most the right hand window. Hmm? Part of the 20k new media stuff seems to be a lot of older items getting polished up. The new physio fitness test reports looks better, noting the previous injury and such. Commercial summary look sinteresting too. And there's a transfer/contracts advice page now, which might be useful... In the final image, whoever is testing the game needs to listen to Cleon and try and get half his shots on target. Poor performance, sir!

Kazza Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Going through the video frame by frame there is some good stuff in there. From the data analysis to the coaching badges to the formation information and so on. Look forward to more information on the changes, and it looks like the media stuff has been given an overhaul, though I like dealing with the media. Would love to see conversation changes re additions with the players and the team e.g. I play a rotation game, get used to it or tell why you do not like it. I think the critisms are a bit harsh as the game is what it is and I am not sure what drastic changes can be made unless you had a pure 3D type of live action but that would mean a lot of processing and probably would not work as well as the current 3d.

pallett1988 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Has anyone noticed the new 'Start game as club manager' option? Do you think this could be the chance for us to start as a youth team manager first, or a re-worded 'Start as employed/unemployed' option? For the element of realism, would be kind of cool to start as youth manager - though I'd be surprised if this is so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my interpretation, Miles is often asked on Twitter whether starting as an assistant manager or youth coach will be an option and he always says no.

Powermonger Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Having looked through all the screenshots, I am assuming all are just for FM2017 (not FM2017 mobile).

phnompenhandy Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 The match engine graphics look very sweet and maybe worth the upgrade just for that. On the other hand I don't like that green background - hopefully a few fan-made skins will sort that out. Some of the new features seem unnecessarily gimmicky to me, as a lower league manager, e.g. shirt name sales. If the data analysis job is to mean anything, it should affect my role as a LLM. By not being able to afford hiring one, it ought to mean the heat map screens etc etc are unavailable to me. It should also mean scouted players' attribute numbers should be revealed sooner if a data analyst is on the case. It ought, therefore, to make a manger's job who doesn't have one tougher, and I'm happy with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I've spotted, (am I right @Neil Brock) is that the Monthly instalments padlock is in orange and not red. I assume this means a negotiable non-negotiation clause?
