The biggest thing I think is that nothing has been covered about tactics. Yes there are some good quality of life features and updates, but every year i think there has been something that changes the flow of game and how we build up tactics. Currently the only thing I can see is inverted winger. Might be interesting new option but does not bring out this kind of dynamic you would expect from new release. And i dont want huge and overhauling things, I want to see some progress made on this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It mostly seems like ok to somewhat-good-to-have improvements but nothing game-changing at all. Nothing that will make us enjoy the game on a whole new level, another level of immersion, as if we are football managers ourselves and seeing all our tactics come alive via players' movements, realistic defending, accurate player movement, positioning... Ok I better stop before I touch a raw nerve and get called out for 'not being constructive'.

theballstopshere Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Would be good that in the future, ME, tactics, players AI, player collision system (if any)... should be in the headline feature. Yes, even though such improvements are supposedly made every year. After all this is a football simulation game, and touted to be the best by SI. ME and how the players react to our tactics (and mirror) real world football and tactics are central to a football simulation game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they're not headline features, they are base level improvements. They are worked on constantly, and the ME has it's own dedicated team that only work on the ME year round. The reason nothing has been announced yet has been confirmed by MIles on twitter is that it's still being worked on. It will continued to be worked on up until it locks for production, and it's at this point we will get information and videos about what is changing.

I will await eagerly the ME announcements. To me, they are the deal breaker and will really affect how I enjoy the game. More so when the headlines features so far are a major letdown, like what many have said. Hopefully the ME can salvage the situation. Frustrates me to no end when I see players doing really weird and unrealistic stuff, not playing to my tactics and moving about like school children on a kickabout.

Yep one of the last things you see for reasons you state, they'll be working on it right up to the very end, and then supporting it through to the last patch. As such the timing is always later on, though I've often made the point that SI should make an even bigger song and dance over the ME, they undersell how much work they do Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kandersson Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 (edited) Big fan of MLS saves here so this is a very interesting feature for me.

Double0Seven Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 (edited) I do wonder why these are not on the official football manager twitter, but on Miles his personal one.

But, while that's true, it's absolutely brilliant seeing the fankle some people get into with the way Miles deals with them. Basically, if you play nice, he'll be nice. If you're not...well, you likely won't win. I'm guess the separation is deliberate. Maybe they want Miles to be the dam that holds everything back from the official accounts. Maybe Miles just likes communicating with people in that way. Maybe they just don't want to hire someone whose sole job is to read messages from and reply to mouth breathers for most of their day. Who knows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that things are connected because SI want to launch the PC and the Stadia version the same date.

QWERTYOP Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 (edited) Comments under the latest video release on YouTube make for sobering reading. I genuinely can’t remember a more widely panned upcoming FM release. Can anybody else? Genuine question. Will S.I listen? Doubt it. They will sell truckloads of copies regardless and carry on half-arsing it until they get some genuine competition. Sad that it’s got to this. I’m always hyped for the new release by now, but I genuinely don’t see any reason to buy FM20 at the moment. I’ve pre-ordered the new FM for as long as I can remember, but unless my current FM19 save corrupts or something, I’m pretty sure I’ll be sticking with FM19 for another year.

Popular Post forameuss Posted October 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2019 So let's get this straight. Before release, knowing relatively little about the game, it has been "panned" and the team are "half-arsed". And this is based on - and I want to confirm this - youtube comments? Comments. On Youtube? And a throwing in of the tired competition argument. You love to see it. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like how every music video has several comment types that always crop up ("Like if you're listening in 2019", "I loved Foals before they were cool", "I wish it was still 90s", "GREATEST SONG EVER", etc), all recent videos on the Football Manager channel seem to get the same types of comments. These are mostly angry or sarcastic comments from people who have nothing better to do with their spare time than get worked up about something they don't like. "The graphics are soooooooooooo great on my Windows 3.1 PC." "The players all look like they come from FIFA 97 - says someone who never actually played FIFA 97." "SI are just like EA amirite" "Everyone should boycott SI because I've already decided that a game which isn't even out until next month is worse than Big Rigs." "It's the same game as last year." "FM19.5" "FIX THE MATCH ENGINE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1" "these arent new features my idea of new features is vr integration or the ability to unleash a lion onto the pitch whenever I feel like it those are what new features are not norwegian b teams work better nobody cares about norway" "I want FM20 to be more like The Sims lol" "This is the worst miscarriage of justice since Marathon bars were renamed Snickers!"

Please don't misunderstand where I'm coming from - I WANT to be hyped for the new release! I WANT reason to buy it! But they've failed. I don't mind years when the new release isn't revolutionary. At all. In fact, I've previously said I don't like them changing things for the sake of it. But previously, even on years when the new game isn't a revamp, there's always been SOMETHING to grab my attention. Perhaps last years best selling point for me for example was the Germany license. But this year is just full of nothing. They've moved stuff around a bit and called that "headline features". I think the most telling thing about this years release is the understated nature of the "headline features" reveal. It's normally an all singing, all dancing affair when they're (understandably) shouting from the rooftops. This year, we had a quick post on social media and that was that. I think even they know this years features are really weak. I'm hoping against hope that S.I still have something up their sleeve to give me a reason to part with my 40 quid, but I will not just buy the new game like a zombie without a reason to. That will just further encourage them that they can get away with years like this. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What might be a groundbreaking new feature to one user might mean absolutely nothing to another. That's fine; it's impossible to please all of the fanbase all of the time. Something else I've been saying quite often recently is this. When somebody complains about the headline features not being headline features, I might ask, "What would have been a 'headline feature' for you?" So, @QWERTYOP, just out of interest, "What would have been a 'headline feature' for you?" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
