Rashidi Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 10 minutes ago, Jack Joyce said: Let's look at someone like Alexis Sanchez - he always took a lot of risks on the ball and with his passing which meant he gave away the ball a lot, but would also generate many goals and assists. Inverted Wingers are a bit more sensible and conservative, they'll still play through balls and crosses, but they'll do so when there's a better opportunity rather than trying to force it. Of course you can always set 'take more risks' if you want them to do so. And to add to this the IW is more likely to look at the range of options. I have noticed that in most of my games. When I pair a IW(S) with a fullback on the overlap. The two of them sometimes work well in tandem to create cutbacks or diagonal passes. In FM19 we needed to use a W(S) with player traits to get this effect. I am so happy that this role has been introduced cos now we finally get an option to use a player who uses his brain, ain't a playmaker and thinks of others around him first. It's a brilliant role, and I want to thank the devs for adding it this year. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SI Staff Seb Wassell Posted November 1, 2019 SI Staff Share Posted November 1, 2019 Whilst beta saves can absolutely be carried over to the full release (I'll be carrying mine over), please keep in mind this is a beta. There will be issues found and resolved during the next couple of weeks, that's what it's for afterall. Some of these issues may require a new game for the fix to kick in. Mostly, issues that require a new game are competition or database related, but this is not a guarantee that a gameplay issue will always be exempt. There is the potential for a Club Vision issue, if found, to require a new season for example. Some Users may prefer a new save in that case. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGougan33 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 (edited) Callum McGregor`s stats need just a little tweaking to better reflect the player he is. His balance and stamina should be at least 13 if not 14, he has a very quick turn of feet so his agility could be a 12 or 13 and his off the ball movement is phenomenal. He is always in a position to receive a pass from a team mate to then lay off another player and/or look for the one two. So his positioning could also potentially benefit from a 1 or 2 point shift His form for the last 3 season shows this consistently, and he just needs a small tweak to better reflect his ability in game.

Glenn Wakeford Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 6 hours ago, RandomGuy. said: Ive already disregarded the line up advice I get from my Ass Man before games. All he ever does is tell me to swap my CBs around, and sometimes drops in swapping CMs around. My left CB is best as a BPD and prefers the left side. My right CB is best as a CD and has no preferred side. That's how I play them, yet every game hes trying to get me to switch them around. Hes a fairly poor one in terms of attributes so is that the reason? Or is it a bug with how it works? Hi @RandomGuy. Could you please post here - https://community.sigames.com/forum/724-all-other-gameplay/ with your save game where you're seeing this behaviour please?

sporadicsmiles Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 graphics look super nice for matches this year. I have not played enough to comment on the ME changes but nothing jumped out at me. I did actually see a wide player take on his FB rather than cross into him a few times though. That is a most welcome change! I like the look of the new discipline system too. Good to have these things formalised somewhere. I'm glad it is easy to find it back as well, since there is no way I am going to remember it over the course of a season. I am looking forward to having some player interactions too.

marxisten Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I have played FM2020 for around 5-6 hours now (RIP my exams). I have not noticed any bugs yet. I love the new features and I think it actually makes it easier to get an overview of the club without using to much time on small details (talking especially of the new development center). The game engine graphics are about the same as last year but i guess it's still work in progress. The only thing that is not working properly is the text in Norwegian (since I play the game with Norwegian language). It sometimes mixes English and Norwgian in the same sentence. I also love club vision feature which makes it more realistic in terms of developing a team over a number of seasons without getting fired for not always reaching the short term goals. Are there any new features coming when the full game releases later this month? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

autohoratio Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 General match feedback from what I've noticed in my first few matches Players are too unwilling to play first time crosses and passes, instead they'll take too many unnecessary touches. Often the player Passing in the central third is much improved, but I have noticed repetitive passing between a CM and a nearby AM/wide player, where they'll just pass the ball between themselves several times without really making an effort to seek out a runner Diagonal cross-field long balls (RB to LW/LB to RW) are too accurate Wing backs like being caught offside often (might be my tactic though) Players are still unwilling to control a cross with their chest or bring it down to their feet, instead they'll head it at the earliest opportunity Goalkeepers are too slow/unwilling to sweep up loose balls (and equally, my wing backs have been a bit slower than I'd like to get to the loose balls and pass back to GK) Instructing CMs to shoot less often has resulted in them being unwilling to take shots from ~5-10m outside the box when there's an opening and they're unmarked in acres of space, I'll have to do more tweaking to see if I can get an improved balance AMC movement is much better than FM19 In a possession system, players are still too eager to clear the ball at the earliest opportunity instead of trying to retain possession Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamstudley Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 The main things that stand out to me are; UI has taken a step back for things like accessing reserve and youth squads, assigning staff responsibilities and the preferences menu. Why would you add extra clicks to these things? This is a very bad design choice. You can't arrange a friendly for the first team on a day when the reserve team is playing. Seems very odd. I've had three young players become unhappy because I rejected loan bids for them despite the fact they have been added to the first team squad and there is no option to tell them that the offer was rejected because they will be playing first team football. Other than that seems good so far. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

herne79 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 1 hour ago, thejay said: No because people get banned here for many reasons, I am not even sure how I should voice negative feedback without a ban. People only tend to get banned because of unnecessary abuse, lack of respect or constant spamming - and then usually only after they've ignored several warnings (unless it's really over the top) asking them to stop. Unless it's excessive abuse, Mods follow guidelines of general in thread warning > private warning (if in thread is ignored) > ban (if private warning is ignored as well). So the only real reason why people get banned is because of themselves. It's rare someone just gets a straight up ban without a warning (the last one I did was because of homophobic abuse). The problem tends to come when people think they're just voicing their opinion. "SI are incompetent, it's just my opinion, you can't ban me for expressing an opinion". It may be an opinion but it's not only disrespectful, it's opinion laced with abuse aimed at individuals. So if there is something you don't like about the game, say it. Ideally in a constructive manner (as forameuss gave as an example) but feedback about the game is just that - stick to talking about the game. It's usually when people start to mention individuals or groups of individuals questioning their competence, calling them names or spamming the same thing over and over (for example) that's when the wicket becomes sticky. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
