anagain Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 You still can't switch between tactics and team talks in game? Once I go to tactics in match build up I am not able to return to my team talk. This was a huge omission in beta and still seems to be evident in the full release.

Popular Post Jamman Posted November 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 24, 2020 Oh dear, what have you done to the match day UI? Dont want to be overdramatic but its ruined for me. Feared the worse from screenshots and the odd stream pre-release but after trying demo its as bad as I thought. It looks nice enough and some of the touches are nice, the team list and the TV like goal graphics, but as a football management game its awful. When Im watching the game I want more than pretty presentation, I want to see stats and information that give me a quick and easy view of how the game is going, how we are performing and how each player is doing. When there is no information on the screen apart from that bottom bar I cant see anything and to get what I used to be able to see at a glance whilst the game is going on you have to keep popping the stats up. Ive attached the view I normally have in 2020, theres normally a league view too. As you can see I have all the information at a glance whilst watching the game, now I dont see any of it without manually checking. This for me is a massive step back from previous versions and looks dumbed down. This is the first version of FM Ive seen since 92 that I havent bought at release and I cant see myself buying it at all. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do somewhat agree there is a lot of wasted space there, but what are SI supposed to put there? They've had this idea this year to attempt to make the game more personal. That is your office. You are meeting with a player who has a grievance. You meet in your office. I don't see what you think they are supposed to put there. You could almost think of this as a first pass for this new personal interaction. Maybe, in some number of years, we will see the manager and the player sitting in the office. It's got to be better than a couple of text bubbles on a black background, hasn't it? Make it bigger a bit? Bring player reaction and user input a bit closer. That player box is also bit bad - maybe show bigger info who is in your office - like player card on the left side that contains previous talk or some info. Also more on those player boxes. IF there are many they are a bit disturbing to look. It is floating box that has box element inside that have text and change colour. ----- Quickly bring this screen to example. 1. Because these "NEW" gestures the emotions are more dragged out - minor thing and will need time to get used as they represent basically the same thing as seen info when hovering over. 2. User interactions is in the middle of screen - this is no biggy if 3-5 points where not so widely apart. 3-5 have to make full circle with eyes to see what is happening and go back to middle if want to make additional comments. Really bad for eyes and user understanding. There is no specific also how these are handled, right now my two wingers, strikers and midfield guy are up there others on the left. How does it change when tactics are different. Identifying player is hard, definitely at start. 6. Players are in floating boxes and needs to be focused down harder than before 7. No after that reactions will come in and will make the view even worse(should have taken SS after that). Have to keep in touch what that pink face is doing and comment - and this is all marked inside each players boxes that are all over screen. Definitely can bring out that you will get use to where things are etc. But it wont change the fact this hard to read and bad design. If people think it is just opinion out of thin air - I work with designers everyday in quality assurance where we build apps and web interface from scratch. It looks pretty for sure, but the things that are grammed inside the boxes and user input changes the output there is bad flow. Lets see what skins can do and I want to hope this will change next FM. Even small change moving Team talk statement box to left and names in list to right and we are gold. And yes at some-point I will try to make this issue out in bugs or feature request if it wont be done before. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rp1966 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 (edited) So FM21 release version: ME is still the best I can remember - in fact it may have been improved from the beta. From going through pre-season and my first few games and comments in this thread there may have been some tweaks to effects from complacency. Or it could just be that I'm playing with a lesser team than in the beta, but although the vast improvements in forward play are still evident it seems that it is a little more difficult. I look forward to seeing if fatigue has also been tweaked (I think someone from SI mentioned that, too). My first action was to try to disable Brexit via the editor - the issues around testing the English leagues is very disappointing. But even more so the lack of a simple disable switch accessible to all. Thankfully people more experienced with the editor seem to have provided a solution - thank goodness for the editor community. I've mentioned previously that the artistic arrangements of text in the team meetings and press conferences was a nice idea, but doesn't really work for me - I'll leave it at that. As someone who has spent the last few versions as an FMT player I have found myself much more comfortable with the recent full-fat feature changes than what was there when I last played the full-fat version. It's nice to have some of the team-building and training depth back. Jury's still out on dynamics, though. Match UI is a mixed bag. I like that it provides such a clean look when you are watching the game (especially as someone who plays in comprehensive mode), but It feels a little clunky when you want to change your team or access stats compared to previous versions. I'm getting used to it - not sure I'll ever really like the tablet idea. My initial thoughts are that this is probably the best FM so far. At the moment I am envisaging a true career save of 20+ seasons. I hope there are no nasty regen, team-building or league bugs awaiting me. Everything about FM21 is even more impressive in light of the backdrop of the necessary changes in working practice due to Covid.

Popular Post anagain Posted November 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 24, 2020 (edited) Really not happy with what should have been some very necessary changes to the match UI and the match process in FM21. I know it has been a hard year for SI but there are some major omissions. 1. As I said above, you can not switch between the team talk screen and the tactics screen. There is a massive need for this. I want to be able to adjust tactics and then speak to players about it. I want to be able tos ee stats before I talk to players, not just their rating. 2. There is no notification of fitness on the team talk screen. 3. The match UI has no information concerning the weather. Weather is huge in football. How can there be no information about the weather during a match? 4. Thankfully the individual team talks was fixed. 5. I have no issues with the new UI. I don't mind the loss of widgets. 6. Managers surely have more information at hand when they give team talks in the real world. This was all discussed over and over in beta. I've always been very supportive of FM and SI, but this is huge for me. My FM OCD is going to really struggle with this in FM21. I honestly just can not understand how this was passed for release. I know and understand how time is precious and there are priorities for fixes, but how was all this not priority? It saddens me because I just can not get the impetus to play FM21 with these omissions. I want to play, but I am really struggling with the lack of switching between tactics and team talks. That is huge for me. For the first time since I started playing this fantastic series I am thinking of going back to a past FM and continuing my FM20 save. I love the FM21 ME, but what FM21 has gained in that regard it has lost in UI changes. You can't even now view past chats with players you have spoken to.

redmeister Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 My only slight annoyance so far is that on a managers profile who used to be a player such as Arteta for example, if you go to the 'milestones' page it can be hard to differentiate between player and manager achievements because it doesn't list if they were a player or manager at the time they won a trophy. Might be a bit annoying once successful players retire and go into management. You can filter it but you have to individually untick every club theyve been at. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmurfDude Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 The full release so far feels a little more difficult than the beta. Not significantly, but just enough to not make winning feel satisfying. This plus the fix to incorrect offsides make this the best ME we've ever had.

Fieldsy Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Is anyone else finding it takes a huge time to load the front screen?

RHKC Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 As soon as I can freely change between tactics and team talk at half time, I'm certain this will be the best-ever FM. Well done, SI 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
damjanovski Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Great improvement form the Beta to the Match Engine. From few games that I played I have just one remark: The players with small vision and passing menage to pass the ball to overlaping fullback with easy. I mean players like Bakayoko from Napoli with 10 vision and 14 passing constantly make Iniesta style passes to the fullbacks. Also the fullback are often left unmarked form the defenders. Otherwise this is very good Match Engine and the best in years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuoppi Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 (edited) Now that you have changed the different info windows that you could add to your match view as "the tablet" it doesnt have to go invisible when the play is under it. When I CHOOSE to watch it, it doesnt matter what is happening in the pitch. I'd like to see it! Unlike the windows that were there all the time and sometimes over the play but most could be put on the side, the tablet doesnt have to go invisible.

rp1966 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 (edited) One more little thing - I like the addition of the commentary lines as the teams are presented before the match and the league being shown as well (but maybe that was there before and it's just that I'm in the Championship this save) - either way it's a nice touch.

tmolvik Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 FM20 was the first game ever in the CM/FM-series i didn't buy because of its major flaws, so I'm very curious about FM21. The first feedback looked great, but as I'm an old school player caring more about statistics and realism, than fancy graphics and new features, I'm still a bit unsure. For instance I play 95% of my games with "commentary only", and in the feedback and screenshots I've seen I've hardly seen anything around that. In FM19, this was a major let down as there was hardly any information in the commentary, goals appeared before commentary and VAR-decisions were heavily lagged. Has this improved in this version. Can one watch the game in commentary and still feel you get the information needed? GK-ratings have been hopeless for many years now. Is this fixed? I've seen that there is a possibility to disable Brexit through the editor, but can the same be done with Covid 19-implications. I strongly disagree with the way this has been done, by just affecting transfers and economy. Either you do it full out or you don't do it at all (or at least give the player the opportunity to choose).
