More control

[Stephen Rouse]

When offering a player to other clubs, have something that allows you to offer to club abroad only or even to individual clubs. 

Also, allow me to pick what players I wish to include in a transfer deal and how many.

can this be done on FM2020 Mobile?

also, I’m paralysed from the neck down so play FM2020 Mobile using a stylus fitted to a mouth piece. Can I play the “full fat” PC version on the iPad? I love the PC version but can’t play it by myself.

Hi - at the moment you can only offer players out you can't give them to specific clubs on Football Manager mobile.

The 'full-fat' PC game isn't on iPad, however the Football Manager Touch game is.

Is FM2020 Touch a better version than FM2020 Mobile?

They're very different games and designed intentionally in that manner, some like one more than the other and some play both.

(these days I'm involved in the design/creation of both so don't ask me to choose between my children )

The Mobile game is intended as a fast but realistic, pick up and play experience. It was designed 100% for the mobile platforms.

Touch is a slightly slimmed down variant of the PC game and unlike Mobile contains the 3d match engine, it's a lot slower than FMM product and originated from a non-mobile game. Touch is also only available on tablets (and only 'some' tablets on android).

Thanks Marc

the reason are asked is because I love the PC version because it is so FULL FAT. Trouble is, I’m paralysed from the neck down and so can’t play it alone. Whereas, FMM I can use with a stylus fitted to my mouth stick. Trouble is it’s not the FULL FAT version I love. Is it ever going to be possible to play the PC version on the iPad?

The 'full fat' PC game is unlikely to ever be on a touch screen device because the complexity of its UI would be hard to fit onto a small touch screen (not to mention the processing requirements etc.). That combined with the immense battery drain that processing would require will probably prevent it from being ported 'straight' onto these devices.

FMM will continue to evolve and increase in depth as devices improve, it is designed intentionally to keep gameplay quicker than the PC game though. I hope you enjoy it

With regards to FM PC - Have you considered using a touch device to manipulate it? Obviously I don't know your physical situation in detail but the iMac has a 'touchpad' for input as an alternative to a mouse, it's far larger than a laptops trackpad and might be usable in a similar manner to how you're manipulating the iPad? (alternatively you could attempt to play the PC on a touch screen PC (Microsoft Surface?) in a similar manner?).

Sorry I can't be more help.

PS - Out of interest have you talked to the Special Effect charity at all? ... they specialise in helping people who are disabled enjoy video games.
