jessejesster Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 What is your most sought after feature in FM? Mine is an All Time Highest Goalscorer of the Save list. Meaning, a list where you can see, since the day you save began, who has scored the most goals in the entire database, no matter what league they play or what awards they have won. There was a feature like so in PES 6 that tallied every goal scorer in Master League since the start of your career and throughout the end of it. It made my career so much more exciting, to keep chasing that beat the record. Why can’t there be this in FM? I know, I know, legal reasons. But please let us mod a list in there, am I right? Does anyone know if this type of thing is possible at all? I know you can sort of do it by seeing the all-time goalscorers in the scouting feature if you have the view all players enabled but it's not the same as it only tallies non-retired players but in a given long save, there are so many players that retire so it's not really keeping the data of every player throughout your save, just the active ones. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norfair Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Mine is a simple one where players have more individuality, specifically newgens for me since I only play long saves and holiday to a date when all or most real players have retired. By individuality I mean players in the same position that aren't modelled the same, especially things like point of decline. As it stands now, all players will have their physical stats drop from age 32. At age 33 the decline picks up speed and by 34 it's a right free fall. They're unusable at this point and their natural fitness doesn't seem to come into play enough. A player with 19-20 natural fitness should decline MUCH slower than one with 12-13, but that's not happening with FM's current model. It makes long saves predictable and you almost always have to replace a player at 33 or so. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rp1966 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 (edited) Integration of a more user friendly version of the full pre-game editor into the main game as a sandbox mode, so that you can change the environment on the fly in long term saves (changing competition rules, league structures or country borders >10 years in, for example) and a simplified economic system running in the background, so that for long term saves, financial issues can cause even big clubs to fail or countries to lose large amounts of TV and sponsorship money because of an economic crisis. Basically anything to stop the game being so linear and predictable in the longer term. Edited December 27, 2020 by rp1966 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RinusFM Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 (edited) That the organisation of a league with a summer-calendar ask you and other clubs, when they meet a certain reputation or so, to vote for a transition to the winter-calendar, so the league is synchrone with the Europa League / Champions League.

A Director of Football mode would also be cool that opens up a whole new world of features like running the club commercially, more detailed scouting and negotiations, manager and agent meetings, tapping up players etc. But above all, my main wish would be that the game gets X per cent smarter year on year. It would lead to better games and decisions overall, more realism, more interactive options and so forth. It would make a huge difference. Not sure how AI development is going and whether it's possible to fit increased levels of it into the game on most PC's, but it would be awesome.

Club financials and world economy has been needing a major rebuild for a long time now. So many features and mechanics in the game relies on and fails to work properly because financials are completely broken and the AI is dumb as bricks. It would legitimately fix so many issues in the game and improve the longevity of saves to the point it would be the single best thing they could do to the series. This is THE dream feature. If I could have any of the last 3 FMs with this, I'd have a game I could play for the next 50 years. @Renyy, the next 50 years IRL or FM time haha? My FM20 save went into 2074...

trevjim Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 A hybrid of FM touch and full version. Touch is perfect apart from the limitations on database, number of leagues, and historical data being saved. The full version is great aside from the tedious media and player interactions. Even when assigning them to assistant, I still get bombarded with them. Hate being put into a situation where I have to respond, only for it to have some silly outcome. For example, I tell my player he has played great after being in fine form, but then he throws a hissy fit. After winning the league comfortably I tell my team I want to challenge again next season, only for them to throw a hissy fit. It's a nonsensical mini game that I really don't enjoy. Also continuing between games takes forever. It can stop around 20 times sometimes. I don't want to have to keep going on holiday just to continue without interruption. That's what touch gets right. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FMT is in a weird position at the moment - its direction is being directed by the requirements of tablet, but there's a player base using real computers and the interface requirements and processing capabilities mean that FMT for those playing on a real computer is hamstrung. To me, the future of FMT is pure tablet with FM Classic naming returning as a play mode in the full game. That way the long requested editor on the PC/Mac version could be a reality and the dictates of a touch interface could take FMT off fully in its own direction.

Jorge666 Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Quite simple, more options to quote a player's poor form when they're being complacent, or to quote the inconsistency/complacency when interacting on a 1-1 level, for example a player's asking for a new contract you should be able to ask to see some consistency (and actually get some) from the player, or another favourite of this game seems to be is players ask for a contract playing out of their skin, give them a bump and boom they play absolutely ferking garbage once they get their pay rise, you should be able to pull them on in, or when a player is shocked that he's been transfer listed and asks for a meeting about it why can't we say "well, pal, you're playing dog sh*t mate, that's why" 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overmars Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Improved player mentality.

CX1329 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 First person mode. Imagine how wild and immersive that would be. (Optional) Interactive training sessions, like in the old On The Ball games, where you can clearly see which players are in good form and which are in poor form. More (optional) roleplaying elements, like someone else mentioned. Deeper player interactions that are more realistic and intuitive. No more having a player go ballistic on you because you praised him. Smarter AI managers that are better at tactics and team building. Smarter staff, so we actually have a good reason to use all these new staff members that SI keeps adding each year. There's no point in having a DoF or a loan manager if they're garbage. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugdog7 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I agree with the role playing elements. Would be cool to see a few scenarios come up throughout the year (maybe like 2-4) where you get to choose how to react to it and will either have a positive, neutral or negative impact based on what you choose. Could be dressing room / training bust ups, etc but make up about 100 scenarios and play a few out each year to keep it interesting. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo22 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Fix the transfers, If I have a player with a release clause and I've set his value at a certain number dont give me team after team bidding no where near the value I have set or the value of the players release clause. Its one of the worst things that happens in game and has done so for years. Yet we get it excused as the AI trying to unsettle the player but when we want a player from an AI team the computer is rock solid in the money that it wants and wont budge. Another thing with transfers, if the computer bids X for a player and I reject it dont have the computer come back with the same value bid just made up differently with various clauses. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
