Football Manager 2017 Pre-Release Beta Feedback Thread

[jomo]

For me its so far so good! Not even got to a match yet, starting unemployed and seeing where I go. Like the managers face feature, actually looks like me! Had a couple of crashes when I first loaded it up though but its been ok now. Think it might be my new computer rather than the game, its really odd, Can play GTA5 and IL-2 no worries but it freezes sometimes on less intensive games.

[iloveslugs]

During the squad registration screen, I would like the option to add ass man's recommendation of a player's ability. Started out playing as a team I don't know much about and had to rely on auto-selecting the squad. Other than that, impressed so far

[Dagenham_Dave]

Ugh, just played the first match. The name icons above the players heads are HORRIBLE. Is there any way to edit this? When there's a few players in the box at a chance, it totally blocks out what you're trying to see.  Surely the game testers saw this during development. I'm amazed no-one else has picked up on this (I may have missed someone mention it)

[FifaBing]

I don't know if I am doing something wrong, but every time I go into filter options to load a custom made filter within player search, it tells me, "The file could not be imported."

No idea what's going on here. Bug, or am I loading/importing filter wrong?

Has the pressing been redone for FM17?

 

EDIT: By this, I mean has the types of pressing and the setup of pressing been redone?

Not in terms of additional instructions. The under the hood ME behaviour is likely to have been tuned, but no new options.

averaging an injury a game here

What sort? Still in preseason? You should expect to pick up more injuries in preseason when players aren't conditioned, but they should be tweaks and pulls rather than major injuries in general.

[bestbrother]

Not sure if this sort of feedback helps, but in Windowed mode its as smooth as silk navigating pages. No slow down at all. The game did warn me it might not be as responsive, but I cant say there is any issues

[Kazza]

This is ludicous that all my backroom staff are being poached. I can understand a couple but not 6/7 so far!

Go into the in-match options and turn them off.

Thanks, mate!

When creating a profile, I set my playing experience as the more junior of the 2 International options, yet when my manager profile is created, I have 0 Caps and 0 goals.

But I don't want to turn them off, I want to see who has the ball. The size and colour is intrusive, and when there's a few players together, this just becomes unwatchable. 

In previous versions it was just a white name above the head of the player who had the ball.

Are you not just referring to the player condition bar? That can be turned off but the names left untouched.

Sounds like a bug, could you raise it here please? - https://community.sigames.com/forum/518-other-gameplay-issues/

Thanks.

Yep, what Herringbone says, is a separate option.

I'll give that a try. I'm not sure why they've made it black with a border though, seems a bit silly.

[RorysRocketThrow]

I know this is an age old topic, but is there any way of making the first time volley cross look a bit more realistic?

I'm sorry to moan, because I think the game is brilliant for a beta (i really do), and this is no way a game breaker but I'm  a stickler for detail and it looks a bit naff.  Is there any way a player can just take the ball down first then cross it?

Just edited that and it's back to how it was. Phew. That was in danger of ruining the whole game for me!

[haffaz77]

Is there a known issue with the Player Faces ? I can't get them to work . I just copied the graphics folder from the  16 to 17 . Club emblems etc are working but the player faces dont work. except a few (probably the ones that are in the game by default) 

ty in advance

[Soninho]

Have to go to bed.. Will pick up here where I left first thing tomorrow!

Good luck guys in the new game! And hope to see some great feedback when I wake up!

Some others did report it, best way is to add it to their bugs report.

[RTHerringbone]

Has the show "All Player Names" option in Preferences > Match been in the game for long, or is it new this year? I'm not the most observant so it's a nice little find for me, even if it isn't new for FM17. I used to add them manually one by one, which sucked.

No, that's new, I noticed it earlier when I was changing the settings for the names.

For MAC my game is so slow and I only loaded 1 league. I am download FM Touch I hope its better

[Domoboy23]

Love that you can now see the away attendance.
Didn't realise SI had lost the spanish rights!

[Kazza]

There is supposed to be an option to finish the game after a certain amount of time (semi-instant). Playing friendlies how do I use this aspect?

[treble_yell_:-)]

Not loving the social tab, it's very busy. Is there any way to remove that as the default landing page ?

[Snorlax]

It is saying my graphics capability is very low and half a star but that simply cannot be correct?

I have an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750Ti graphics card

Or has something changed drastically?

There is an option in the in-match settings. I believe it is "Show player condition" or the like. That will reduce the overhead to just player names as in previous versions 

[penza]

where are the AI tactics saved there is used to be a tactics folder in the data folder anyone can help?

[Lord Rowell]

Problem with display in players stats screen

This is a screenshot from the player stats page on the first match I've played. As you can see, the names have been squashed, likely due to that "time" column.

I'm playing in 125% text mode, display 1280 x 960.

Didn't have this issue with previous versions of FM. Hope you can look into it. I have also posted in the bugs forum.

That's only a feature in the classic version of the game (touch)

Something a bit weird here. I've played one preseason game and won it 3-0

On my tactic analysis it shows I've played my tactic for 91 mins and have scored four and conceded one with it.

Thanks for your feedback Dagenham_Dave.

Could you please pop over to the ME Section of the Forums please and open up a thread with this issue. https://community.sigames.com/forum/515-match-engine-issues/

Cheers,

One game into the season.
One half, that is.
Two injuries during training and Handanović got injured in the first half of the first Serie A game.

All three longer-term injuries.

Similar for me, and I'm sure it was 4 or 5 stars for FM16

Also, Downloadable content- presumably not available til release date?

Shame if so, as wanted to start a game as national manager too

[Per Annum]

Other than poor FPS in matches I'm very pleased. 

Won my first game of championship season before being destroyed by Huddersfield in the second. Don't think I ever got destroyed in FM16!

I did get the park the bus achievement after the first game though....

[BlairNo.1]

How do you know what attributes are required to make a good data analyst and sports scientist? All the other roles have highlighted attributes but the new ones don't.

 

Thanks

[Hagginho]

My game just crashed. Is there any crash-file i can send and help you? 

[agooding25]

Does anyone know how to get fm17 touch to work for iPad?

[Dagenham_Dave]

It's a bit annoying that when you hover over the radio button next to a player to bring up the info - although in all other areas it's been improved - you now can't see the star rating of the player. That's particularly annoying on the tactics screen as the subs don't have the star ratings next to them. 

[Kazza]

On the data analysts and scientists I just checked the stats/attributes of the ones i had and looked for similar as they all got poached by Premier League teams, being NUFC relegated, not surprising but annoying.

[Georgik]

I heard that the Spanish team's names have been changed, is it true ?

[Persee]

About 64 bit, im still unsure can anyone confirm if its faster?

No, most non-playing staff still have this. 

I think he meant in Staff>Responsibilities>Backroom Advice.

In FM16, when it was under the Personal Assistant tab, it showed you the key stats for the advice you were getting eg. Tactical feedback, you were shown the Tactical Coaching & Tactical Knowledge of your coaches etc.

Now, it seems, you can only see these stats by going into each coaches profile, one by one, and not in a handy drop-down menu.

If this is the case then this definitely could do with changing back, the new way is so much more time consuming and quite frustrating.

[josh381991]

on news items when action is required the box could do with being a darker and more noticeable green as currently can easily be missed

 

 

Also in the social section when your clubs account announces a signing it says the player is signing for the club you have purchased him from.

 

For Example :

 

Transfer - Man Utd signing pogba from juventus

 

The Man utd account would say Paul Pogba agrees a deal to sign for Juventus

I found what i think is a game breaking bug. 

I started as Barcelona, spent like 4 hours looking at players, scouting (you should make the scout report confirmation have a tick box so it doesnt appear every time) and making tactics. After a couple of days my assistant asked me to choose the players that would go on the training camp. I decided to try the automatic option that says they will pick some youths ( also this should be like all other versions of fm, where you have the final decision and not completely automatic). I was happy with the 40 players he chose, so i continued. 

Another couple of days passed, and i got another mail telling me that the training camp was starting. It only said 32 instead of 40 players, but i didnt realize at the time. One day after that, i got like 10 mails telling me the best players in my team wants to talk to me about leaving them out of the training camp. I looked at the registration window under squad and not even one player went to the camp, all my starters wants to leave because of this. 

Did this happened to anyone else?
