L-Wiz Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Hi, i had both FM13 and FM 14 on the Ipad. so i guess the equivalent of what is now FMT17? The problem i have is i fit into the category of loving the full game but just dont have the time to play it at home. my main use will be to and from work on the train, on the tablet. however the FM13 and FM14 versions i just felt were SO basic and got quite predictable, boring and repititve very quickly. i mainly missed the feeling of being really immersed in the game where you got lost a bit from reality as the game just dragged you in. Anyway, does FMT17 create atleast an element of the full game where it still has a decent amount of detail level and help to build up the game world into making you want to keep playing?? Hope this makes sense and would be great if anyone can shed some light? Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
L-Wiz Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 Sorry 1 more thing to add. im specifically talking about playing this on an Ipad. not a stripped down version on the PC. only just realised that there is FMT in PC mode. please can someone she some light on my questions above, but playing on a tablet? ta Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeeDub Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I played FM16 Touch extensively on the iPad, and I felt it was *as* immersive as the version of FM Touch you play via the PC. I'm not a huge fan of team talks, press conferences, or tactic familiarity (though I do wish I could have more interaction with good/bad performances for players) so I found it plenty immersive.

L-Wiz Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 ok thanks for the feedback. maybe the problem i had was only having 3 loaded nations which seems quite restrictive. i also found in FM13 and 14 on ipad that everything appeared a bit too predictable and just too basic and almost boring with the transfer market and the managerial progression. cant quite explain it but just felt a bit lacking and left a bit of a void. i think the main thing i like with the full FM is how the actual game world seems/feels so large and detailed and the really comprehensive news items and transfer and jobs rumours and links just makes it FEEL in depth. the FMC ipad versions in years gone by missed that completely and you are left feeling like theres not much to do but just click continue. maybe the new one will be a bit more what im after. thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeeDub Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Basically, there's little difference between FM Touch on PC and on tablets at this point. The UI can be a bit clunkier (multi-select gesture please!) and there is a limitation on the number of leagues you can load, (edit: Oh! and you can't watch complete games, and you can't access analysis of past games) but I tend to play lower league, so I'm not as concerned by the lack of large teams. I am a fan of being able to play fairly mobile-ly at this point though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
L-Wiz Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 cheers mate. yeh im mainly only going to play this on the train to/from work and the odd holiday, on plane etc. so the actual idea of playing on tablet is perfect for what im after. just need to try and get that magic back from the old PC days!!

craigibhoy Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 The tablet version is limited to 3 countries and a max of 30 years game play, these are 2 differences i know of so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FM13 and FM14 version that was available to Ipad, and android, was called FM Handheld and since FM15 it change the name to FM Mobile. Since FM15, the Touch version that was only available to play in the PC, start being available also in highend tablets. So the game that you play in your ipad (FM13 and FM14) was in truth a very basic version of the game that has nothing in common with FM Touch. With FM Touch, you are also limited to 3 nations, but the ME, graphics, tactics, training, etc etc it's the same when compare to the full fat version.

Colorado Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Can you play this from SD card this year? I have a decent spec tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab S) and couldn't fit it into my device and had to cancel the transaction. If SI could shed some light on this it would be much appreciated!

If SI label Mini 2 as OK do play the game, then it should run without any problem. Atm, there are some issues related with the 3D graphics, where the players and stadium look quite blurry and with low resolution. But this is a issue that is transversal to almost all ipads. I play with in a Mini 3 and have the same problem. Hope, and i'm sure, SI will fix this soon with some patch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oxfordmark Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Has media interaction been dropped from the tablet version? I never get asked about upcoming matches, or previous results. Or about player rumours, miss that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All depends on the version you are running on your tablet. On the new marshmallow 6.0 update you should be able to use your sd card as an internal memory. Select your SD card from settings - storage & USB after this click on the 3 dots at the top right of your screen and you should see the option 'format as internal'.

Colorado Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I bought the game yesterday and it works fine. Lack of graphics/licensing though is a real drawback tbh honest though and something I overlooked before buying it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
