Popular Post forameuss Posted October 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 21, 2020 Through all the currently announced features, and all the blogs they've put out, my personal consensus is similar to most years with FM - some really good ideas that will be interesting to see work in practice and some decent ideas not fully fleshed out. In FM terms, it's a 180 potential player who'll never reach that mark. The recruitment meetings seem like the big one. The way I like to play the game, this kind of stuff definitely seemed missing from 20. Really good idea. But then it goes down into the "not fully fleshed out" camp. SI have always seemed keen on getting certain elements into the game, even if they're not fully formed. It used to be that that was a good starting point for them, and they'd end up developing and maturing into solid, core parts of the game. I think that's happening less and less now though, in lieu of these things making it into the game and then being left in that state. The gestures stuff, for example, I think that's the nucleus of what could be brilliant for the game. I know that under the hood you're essentially still doing the same thing, but on the surface, you can now exhibit more of a personality through your manager, more of a style. For people that want to delve into long saves and play more as a kind of pseudo-RPG, that's great. But essentially it's just a few more buttons. It doesn't go nearly far enough, which is frustrating given the potential it could have. More and more of the new features are going along those lines these days. And on the Covid stuff, I suspect I'm in a massive minority, but I'm quite disappointed with their decision. I wasn't expecting - or wanting - them to go down the route of ultra-realism and having epidemics through the squad, but the way they've seemingly implemented it just seems like a "well, we had to do something", and that something being very little at all. I completely get its a personal preference, and I'm not saying they're "wrong" exactly. Also know that it'll be widely praised. I'm just saying personally that it seems a bit of a pointless halfway house that'll just lead the opening season in FM to be the same, ultimately bland experience as usual, speeding even quicker away from realism than it usually does. I saw this as an opportunity to have a freak season for once, one that was going to be truly different and have the game actually throw a few curveballs in. Instead we've just got a few less zeros on finances. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can relate pre-game briefings to this. Idea was good initially, but proved completely unresponsive and as a result - useless. So it just hangs there, just so you could click "skip meeting" before every game. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, this again has interesting connotations, if well integrated. Based on your relationships with journalists, they may or may not carry articles - say, criticising a striker out of form. Whereas a journalist who is antagonistic will always criticise such a player. This, in turn, could affect the player's performances even more, basis how he handles Pressure. And the relationship varies with each conference, so it wouldn't get repetitive - sometimes, you have to stand off certain journalists, but in return, expect your players to receive more questioning articles. Additionally, now that players can join you for press conferences, if your striker on a bad run is due for that, there can be the option to tell him that you would like him to sit it out, to avoid those questions. How he reacts to that will be basis his personality and how he handles pressure, along with the closeness of his relationship with you. All of the features mentioned can contribute very positively towards the overall immersion in the game. It depends on how far SI takes it. As of now, conferences are nothing more than an annoyance, as I haven't seen them have any particular impact on player performances etc. Whereas it can easily go down that route.

A match engine that works on the release date, and that keeps getting improved if it has minor bugs here and there. The ME in fm20 was very bad, and they didn’t fix it. I remember they announced in a February or March that they weren't going to spend any more time on it... These small changes outside the pitch is not worth the price of a hole game, and it’s happening year after year. If the ME is broken/ has to many bugs, the game isn't playable. -2D is what makes FM, FM. completely agree with this. i think the quality of life improvements so far is very very impressive. excited for most of the features actually. but all this features are only going to be as good as the Match Engine. can't wait for the Match Engine reveal. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do feel some sympathy with SI in implementing VAR. I don’t think anyone watching the EPL last year for example, had any idea of how VAR would play out in reality, certainly not at the start of the season, and definitely not before the season began which is when SI would have been doing their work for the upcoming season. It’s still a very new, very raw and unrefined product in real life. Replicating that as it is now, in a game that’s meant to be playable over multiple seasons must be a real PITA.

The social side of seeing the reaction of fans and players to things happening in the club. The difference between FM and Fifa 21 Career Mode is that FM you are more invested in the players and your club because of the deep social and emotional aspect of the game such as the players personality, reactions, moral, conversations and interactions.

When watching a game the text commentary is essentially missed. While this sounds interesting, I remember FIFA commentary and since there's a limit to how many lines you can record it would get stale incredibly quickly. Pretty sure most would turn this off pretty quickly. Also, considering the variable game speed it would be pretty hard to make audio commentary line up. Personally my highlight speed is relatively quick, so the audio commentary would then either have to be sped up making it unintelligible or be too slow to keep up with the play that's happening. 8 minutes ago, gunner86 said: I’ve always thought of it as all goals are reviewed, but it’s only worth notifying if it’s going to be disallowed. May or may not be the intent, but isn’t that how VAR “works” in real life? Technically yes, the issue is just that in FM we basically always know the result of the VAR when it pops up. If a goal is scored and the "VAR is checking for offside" commentary pops up, you know that it'll be offside. You never have a goal scored, linesman flags for potential offside, VAR checks and finds that the goal was onside and counts. Same with most other VAR decisions, you always know what it is the moment the game goes "VAR will look at it!". Only exception I can remember is fouls on the edge of the penalty area where the VAR decision of inside or outside the penalty area can actually go both ways. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If both research pre-game and AI in game cannot use the same parameters that work in the ME, there is a problem. Or It Is reasearch/ai or the ME. But if, like you said, you could create a starting 11 with 130 CA and give to current Liverpool (that, i Remember, Is managed by a top like Klopp and not a novice) a serious challange (not for a single game eh, the point is about win League or Champions League) then the problem Is the ME. In this example the problem is not ME. It's the huge advantage that human managers have over AI managers. Human players will always make better decisions over any AI in any of the games. You will be better, at transfers, tactics, changes during the match. AI is flawed in most of the games, like when you play Fallout 4 with stealth charachter and get detected, you can run away and hide for a few seconds and the NPC goes; "Ah, it's probably nothing." and continues like you were never there. There isn't any intelligence behind that decision, The real AI doesn't exist. So likewise, Klopp in FM isn't really Klopp or any other rational human being so the human player has a huge advantage. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really depends on the person in question rather than an entire profession. I can't wait to get back into the office, and that's as someone who thought they'd only take my one working from home day a week out of my cold, dead hands. For some people, you'll get much more done with the lack of commute and relative comfort. But it's by no means that simple across the board.

I don’t think the recruitment meetings (if they work properly) can really be described as cosmetic. And while some don’t agree I think the way they’ve overhauled the interactions is really just cosmetic either. The only thing that is is the end of season stuff, but that’s all good QoL stuff. Match engine is worked on separately and we’re yet to really see what’s been done, that will have improvements, as it does every year, but again, in my personal opinion wasn’t that bad last year. The ME is worked on a different team from the other areas from the rest of the game, so it will never be one or the other. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevemc Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Newgen faces are a much welcomed improvement on previous FMs, but what you cannot see from Miles’s cross section of 10 faces is the full variety on offer, currently despite being poor quality there’s also a lack of variety on faces, hair, beards etc. Would also be good to see 16 years olds without goatee’s etc, but we’ll see. I was so fed up in FM20 with the faces that I downloaded Zealand’s real newgen faces which add a real face instead of the 3D one plus you can select the face you’d like on your newgen and honestly, it was a game changer, so if these are not fixed then I’ll use those again.
