I wouldn't expect a revolution... The current ME isn't old enough for SEGA/SI to introduce a new one (although it'd be a good idea). IMO it's not *that* bad once you've learnt to live with its many quirks. This year it's the forwards' lack of movement and initiative. They get beaten by both opponents and teammates for the ball inside the box... Especially when playing with the lone striker, he'll score little, while wingers and CMs will reach double-digits with ease. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CFuller Posted August 14, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) Every ME has its quirks, and FM19's is no different. In my view, it's not even remotely as bad as many users make out. I certainly wouldn't expect SI to just rip it up and start again just because there are a few too many long shots, or because a small percentage of users can't get strikers to score 20+ goals. I'm interested to know what exactly would please some of the more cynical users on here in terms of new features for FM20. VR integration? FIFA-style graphics? The ability to unleash a lion onto the pitch when you're 1-0 down with 10 minutes to go? My point is that FM is already so detailed that I honestly can't think of any more 'ground-breaking' features SI could realistically introduce. I'd actually be okay with SI just improving what they already have, even if it would of course lead to the usual cries of, "It's just a glorified data update."

I have played FM in 3D since it was introduced. Yes, some of the animations are a bit wonky, but the match engine itself is still very solid. No other sports match engine can match it for realism (don't say FIFA is realistic, because it's not - it's basically an arcade game, and a FIFA match lasting 90 real minutes would probably finish 30-27). And by the way, I was born in 1990. D'you know just how sophisticated a football video game from 1990 looked? Now look at FM19's graphics and tell me truthfully that they aren't a marked improvement. And in future, please don't make up hyperbole about how FM's graphics look like they were designed nearly 30 years ago. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
YUK0N Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 i was born in 1965 and playing PONG at 5 this isn't a pissing contest I was exaggerating on purpose. So instead of arguing with you Im done with the post Ive seen twice as much gaming in my time to know when something is in trouble. Especially when people wait for the price comedown to even buy the game now and then wish they hadn't because of the let down. This game is in trouble. The players know it at least some, I know it and the SI knows it and if they don't then its really in trouble cause if you get a few more just patched versions it's gonna be done. Its My Prediction that I truly would hate to see. Im done responding to this and I really hope SI take note, Better yet I'm praying they already have long ago and that's what the wait is for. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"A few too many long shots" is the understatement of the decade... It's like saying Man City got a "modest increase in funding" since the Sheik took over... And about strikers not scoring 20+ goals, well, look no further than AI Messi and (pre-Juventus) Cristiano Ronaldo scoring half the goals of their real-life counterparts. No human manager there to be told "it's your tactics..." either. Also, I have no issues with strikers having scoring droughts especially if the team underperforms or plays a defensive style. On the other hand, when your superteam (or your downloaded supertactic...) routinely bags you 4+ goals per match, it becomes perplexing to realize strikers STILL struggle to score while wingers and CMs easily reach double-digits. Even more when half of the winger's goals come from situations where you'd expect a striker to be there to convert the chance. I've seen hundreds of "wing-to-wing" goals where one or two strikers (in all roles/duties) simply stand inside the box while the opposite wide player moves toward the ball. It was there in FM16 (or 17?). It's still there in 19... What should be changed/fixed? Easy: a decent and straighforward input-output ratio. A ME where a Narrow 4-1-2-1-2 Diamond with "underlap" instruction doesn't end up with one of my strikers playing like an AML with the FB overlapping on an even wider position! A ME where "shoot less often" doesn't still yield double-digits long shots in situations where a backpass or a sideways pass could keep the attack going. A ME where wide players don't wait for the out-of-position FB to come back and block a cross that should have been made 5 seconds earlier. A ME where professional top fullbacks or central defenders don't get caught napping by a long, loopy balls behind the defensive line as if they were Sanmarinese amateurs... And so on... In short: I'd like a ME that plays my tactics (no matter how wrong or silly), not a ME that gets played by my tactics (and one where only specific tactics work fine and gets replicated to an acceptable degree of realism and fidelity, while others are either not working at all or are atrocious approximations). Again, it's stuff you can't simply chalk up as "it's your tactic" because it's all there to watch in AI v AI matches. 1 ora fa, YUK0N ha scritto: And its outdated and it looks like its from 1990. If Fifa or Pes ever really did a Manager mode close to the depth of this game this game would be finished. And if FM did a "Player Manager mode" comparable to FIFA or PES, both EA Sports and Konami would shut down their football division tomorrow... It's impossible for either situation to happen with the current technology. FM is a monumental endeavour and, as critical as I've been, nobody has ever come remotely close to presenting something worth mentioning in the same sentence, let alone as being regarded as actual competition. Championship Manager tried and despite having a decade of experience and shared know-how, it quickly fizzled out. The old On the Ball series (a fun and quirky franchise in the 90s) got the EA Sports blessing and backing, but FIFA Club Manager was just a shiny coat of sparky paint over the old and outdated OTB formula, with a repetitive FIFA-derived, stripped down ME. And those are more or less the only competitors deserving a mention. Anything else stopped being even a viable, lightweight, alternative even before CM4 introduced the proper 2d engine.

From my experience, about 20% of the goals I've seen on FM19 (across 12 seasons in three different saves) have come from outside the penalty area (if that's how you'd define a long shot).

I play 2D simply because I think the 3D looks rubbish. But again, in FIFA/PES the 3D match was the CORE of the game, so graphics had to be as good as possible, and so was the gameplay, in order to sell the game. FM is mostly about managing a football club also between matches. The 3D engine is a visual rendition of our tactical choices, so having 30 different animations for a volley or for a save isn't really as important as devising an engine able to lead to those moves making sense in context. I don't really care about how fluid and pleasing the animation of my striker trapping the ball for a cross from the right-wing, if I'm playing a narrow wingless formation where game is expected to go through the middle... I really care about the players doing what I've instructed them to do and said instructions to be followed closely and to yield what their names suggest. Bascially this whole "the 3D ME looks awful, why can't it look like FIFA" complaints are out of place. It's like complaining about a top-of-the-line keyboard not sounding like a grand piano or like a Hammond organ. If you really NEED that sound, use the real thing. A keyboard though is much more versatile and "sounding like _____" is one of its many functions. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise we wouldn't still have the typical "why aren't Top Clubs offering more than 5M for my 40-goals-per-season striker while I can sell all sort of unproven wonderkids for 10M?" scenario many who manage in smaller nations have been lamenting for years. Again, it's not AS prevalent as it used to be, but ECA+PPA+Rep still play a huge role especially as far as young players are concerned. I'll give you that at a higher level, say EPL or any other Big Five league, it's probably much easier and more common to get great money for a "mediocre" player who has been performing above his ability, but that's, again tied to Reputation.

Kingstontom88 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Be intrigued to see what's new this year. Eventually, you feel, FM will hit a wall when it comes to new features. The game of football itself has only developed so much in recent years; at least in such a way that FM can portray/allow users to interact with from a manager's perspective. A big challenge ahead that's for sure - ME/graphical updates will be key to its longevity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footix Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Re: graphics, while the graphical representation is always less important than the engine behind it, I've seen enough threads on here where people raise things they believe are bugs with the ME only to realise its likely the graphics not being able to render a particular situation properly. Never settle. When so many people people use the 3D engine I think it makes sense to focus on that too. For immersion. For a better game experience overall. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crispypaul Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 AI squad building and some ludicrous transfer fee demands I've seen could be worked on. I kept trying to sign a good young English CM from Man City whom wasn't playing at all and with 6 months of his contract left and a valuation of £15m they were demanding £70m+. I then lost him as Sporting Lisbon signed him up on a bosman.... Other than that a couple more official leagues would be nice although I appreciate that's research dependent. I am still surprised Cyprus (the 15th best league in Europe) isn't included in the base game considering nearly every other league in the top 30 or so is. Africa could do with leagues other than South Africa too (particularly one of the North African leagues) and there is still nothing official at all in Western Asia. Crazy we can manage in Singapore and Hong Kong but not Saudi Arabia or Iran. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Alerion Posted August 15, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 15, 2019 So much negativity in this thread, holy moly. Since I started playing FM, which was FM15 I guess, I got around 1000 hours each year out of the game, for what, 50 Euro or so ? Which is AMAZING value for money. And that alone lets me shrug off all the smaller bugs or details that do not fit because come FM20 beta, and I look back at the FM19 year, I know It was worth. So instead of complaining about all the things maybe take a look at the positive things about FM, its a one-time purchase without any shady DLC´s, microtransactions (bar the few things, e.G ingame editor) or "momentum" crap. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody's denying FM is the best value-for-money game on the market... Nobody's ignoring the positives... They're the reasone we're all here and, also, the reasons some of us are very demanding and have maybe unreasonable expectations about the game. However it's inevitable that long-time players tend to have a different opinion on what, at first glance, are forgivable bugs, quirks or minor annoyances. Some of us here have probably ammassed enough hours to have reached an entire YEAR of their life in front of a screen playing CM/FM... And when you've seen stuff happening year in and year out, with relatively little improvement, you start noticing it immediately in the new beta and it gets deflating. Make no mistake, most of us will even preorder, play the beta and then report the same(ish) bugs some have reported back in FM2012. Hoping it'll be the last time we have to write about broken crossing, AI free transfers or unproven FInnish youngsters breaking the league's highest transfer fee several times a season... And even if they won't, we'll still clock in three or four-digits hours on it, ready to start it over again for FM21 Edited August 15, 2019 by RBKalle 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
armbi Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I don't expect FIFA graphic, but when I hear every year about magic "1000+ animations" and then barley can see it in ME it is pretty disappointing. I asked Miles on twitter about dribbling animations before FM 17 releasing, he said there would be "some". We have FM19 on board never seen any. Ok ME is quite good, but I think not enough time is devoted to really improve it, we are given only casual info about 1000+ NEW animations. Summarizing - I don't want to complain but I have a feeling that there are part of the game not that important yet announced as new features (just to say - look every year we give you some new staff) and the heart of the game is actually neglected. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
