Romanista. Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 why not put a "do not show this message again" option when scouting a player for a month/full knowledge and every time it asks if you want to "include match highlights" for the player. it is extremely tedious specially when scouting multiple players and is a waste of time. the blurry background that appears after clicking some stuff looks really poor and makes the interface seem slow and buggy. should be removed completely from the game. there is a bug when in player shortlists and scouting all known players and staff. when you click on a player and then go back to the player/staff shortlist screen, it has loaded something else and you can see this something else for 1-2 seconds before it automatically loads what you want. it also very often goes to the top of the page or up which makes it very unpleasant when scouting players. classic 2D is jerky while 3D runs perfectly fine. my drivers are upto date.

rallav Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I think this might have been brought up already. But...i dont like the new Starting Screen. In previous Versions you could look through the Team, Squad etc. when you were selecting a Team to Start with. Also i really liked the "Pick a Team for me" Option, which seems to be gone for now.

phnompenhandy Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Quite a few of the GUI complaints on the last couple of pages are skinning issues.

PeaJob Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) Refunded game through steam already, through watching the games I can see that the engine mechanics I despise are still there - when I play better opposition my players literally turn into morons, making numerous 2 yard passes straight into the opponents path when there isn't even pressure on the ball, it is horrid. What makes it worse is I do not set my tactics to try play like Barca away from home against top teams and then cry when they don't pull it off... If it wasn't for issues like this the game would be great for me personally but I can't look past them. I'm sure plenty of you will enjoy many hours on it anyway, just giving my 2p.

SI Staff Seb Wassell Posted October 20, 2016 SI Staff Share Posted October 20, 2016 4 hours ago, Dagenham_Dave said: This can't be right surely. I have a player who has picked up a 'shin splints' injury, and it gives me two choices. Send to a specialist where he'll be out for 6 weeks, or leave to physio where he'll be out for 6 MONTHS. Six months for shin splints? You generally recover from those in a few weeks. And you certainly don't need to see a specialist! Hey Dave, There is an expected discrepancy between the two for this injury type. I myself had shin splints and could not run, nevermind play rugby or football, for over 4 months. Specialist treatment will reduce this period significantly. In this instance the difference does look quite large, but I suspect this may be to do with the very poor quality of your physio? Testing here sees Specialist = 4-5 weeks, Physio = 2-3 months, which is more reasonable. If you have any further issues with this or would like us to look into it from a save could you please post in here - https://community.sigames.com/forum/518-other-gameplay-issues/ Cheers, Seb.

jmemour Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 STOPPAGE TIME Don't know if anyone else has mentioned this but it did my head in last year and is doing the same this year. 2nd half stoppage time is a joke, there were 6 single subs in my last match and 2 goals and yet only 2 minutes' worth of stoppage time. Sometimes in a 90 mins game you only have 1 minute stoppage time in the second half which is really unrealistic.

bestbrother Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) 14 hours ago, kamackeris said: maybe i should. i want it as sim as possible so i have always thought the classic version was a cop out almost. i remember your name dave like ten years ago when i used to be extremely active on this forum when i had a previous username and was addicted. i see you are still here...you play the full game?? also someone else posted about average ratings seemingly being too tied to goals and assists....always a massive bugbear of mine that I play the 'full FAT' version of FM just like I did CM93 all those years ago. Yes there is a lot more fluff in the game, but you can divert that elsewhere and it dosent matter really. I get success, I get failures.... but at the end of it, I have fun. What I mean by divert is to delegate everything else out to your staff... training, scouting, staff contracts etc, they nice to have in the game, but its not vital to any success you have. All I do, is play the game on very fast commentary... and the game flies this year, probably the fastest FM ever in how quick you can get game to game. In terms of what I do in game, I buy players, I sell players, I deal with player contracts, I pick a tactic and then pick the team. You wont feel like you are missing out on anything in terms of going to the classic mode and in reality, it makes the game simple again. I even just pick a pre-made tactic from the game list, generally 4-4-2. I think and its probably not stated enough tbh, I think that although the game is more in depth than ever, at its core, its still CM and if you are in the mindset, then you can play it like that and live those memories again.

There is also a newly-added contextual backroom advice button (just under the continue button in the top right), which will show on various screens if there is relevant advice generated to show.

18pd Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Players still get arsey about being asked to train in one natural position over another, really tiresome bug/feature/whatever. In 16 lists of staff (selecting who for coaching advice/scouting, etc.) offered the relevant attributes next to each name for making a quick and easy choice, really miss this in 17. The initial club selection screen hangs for long periods on my low-powered machine (in contrast to the rest of the game which is wonderfully snappy vs 16) leaving me unable to select the Quick/Advanced Start buttons. Otherwise, it's a thing of joyous beauty. Be happy o/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ak71 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) Hi Fm-ers, Been happy with this version thus far. However, been facing some problem. Not too sure if it has been reported. 1. the positioning of the stretcher carrier (?). Is it intended to be as the pictures below..? 2. my laptop is running on GeForce GTX 765M. I'm watching the match in 3D. The animation seems to stutter, especially when i set the Match Speed Slider for During Highlights to -1, ie 1 notch to the left. Anyone with the same graphics card facing this problem..? 3. everytime i load the game, it'll stuck at the opening scene, ie screening of SI logo. I have to press control + alternate + delete to get it running again. I'm facing the same problem with FM2016. Is there any workaround to this problem..? 4. when i'm at the Start Menu, loading last game option did not bring me to the last game saved. In FM2016 and earlier version, this doesn't seem to be the way. Is it intended for the current version..? Looking forward to 4th November.

To be honest, the issue is nowhere near FM 2015 levels and in fact i think it can be adjusted in the editor. Too many managers have 4-4-2 as preffered formation withouth any DM's and it's exactly those teams that score and concede more than the others. I sincerily doubt that flat 4-4-2 is that much used IRL compared to how it is in FM. too bad we don't have a beta editor.
