davehanson Posted yesterday at 07:49 Share Posted yesterday at 07:49 (edited) 10 hours ago, jscjr said: We do know, as SI posted the figure in one of their FM25 development updates. We also considered the available game data. Only 5.6% of all FM24 PC saves have used the mode, which we feel validates our view that we need to do much, much better with the experience. That number is even smaller on Console. Tell me how many players that is then please - if you think you know? 5.6% of 'saves'. Not players. If every single person that played FM24 had 20 saves per year then every single person could have played International Management.

forameuss Posted yesterday at 09:26 Share Posted yesterday at 09:26 Save percentage is probably a better metric than purely player count anyway. 90% of players and 10% of saves could be exactly the same thing, but the latter tells you that the former is way overblown. One person spending 2 minutes looking at the mode and abandoning it counts as a person, but it could be 1% of that person's saves. That's far more telling as a metric, which is probably why it's been used. Not that it even matters, to anything close to the degree people keep talking about a number.

A simple "work in progress, forced delay" would not have caused as much resonance as speculation on % that cannot subside. They definitely need a public relations specialist.

As if Kane isn't the main face on the UK Bundesliga posters upd - Some might say that Kane is like this because he is a superstar. And this could be called an argument. But a great example is the Sky Sports poster with Sancho, although he certainly can't be the main character of this match.

jcafcwbb Posted yesterday at 12:05 Share Posted yesterday at 12:05 A total no-show for the game - apart from maybe a merchandising booth then. The worrying thing is this is the only game on that page not part of the presentation. There is also the complete radio silence from SI Games. Would it be too much to ask for them to give us an update - even if they have to announce a delay to the announcement? This is terrible marketing for the game.

I don't think people want to be told what SI are doing - they want some info on what is in the game - show some screenshots or videos. I guess most people don't care if Miles is on his 4th coffee of the day, they do care if the UI is looking better. And I have been around long enough to know if SI say something towards the end of a week/month it usually means right at the end - but again would it not be better just to say 'More updates on 30th September'? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevinho7 Posted yesterday at 14:47 Share Posted yesterday at 14:47 I must admit it’s pretty funny reading the forums at this time of the year… A barrage of If’s, Maybe’s, Probably’s etc breaking loose. Discussions ignite where you see comments which come across as if wanting to persuade others of certain ideas or takes on things. Some reactions even pushing the boundaries of staying respectful and understanding to one another. Makes me wonder how those minds are kept at peace during the days. There’s also the option of just waiting it out and see whenever further info is being dropped by SI for us to read, which makes it possible to form opinions based on what is released so far, instead of the ever guessing and guessing what may or may not be the case? But I get it tho… I’m very curious myself as well 😋 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mean that it was poor either, I mean the load times and crashes were unbelievable and the 2D match engine was bugged with players making some wild decisions. By the time the game was patched up to a playable level, CM 03/04 was just about ready for release. Seeing this box art triggers PTSD tbfh. 'SORT IT OUT SI!!!!1' 03/04 was pretty good though.

As long as the improvements are well placed. Eg match engine and AI squad building. And not fluff and stuff no one asked for whilst neglecting the major recurring issues with the game. This is their chance to build the game from the ground up again and if they are leaving things like Internationals out to get the core game as good as possible, then that's fine with me and bugs are expected. I personally will just skip this year and wait for FM 26, but I do expect to see the potential in FM 25 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nusknvp Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago Thinking about the new graphics engine, what if we've already had a glimpse of the game's new look—at least in terms of animations—right in front of us? Hear me out. Miles mentioned they've been working with Unity since 2020, right? We’ve had 3-4 iterations of the game since then, with... slight graphical improvements. What if the focus has been on Unity since then, which seems logical, and the graphical/animation improvements we've seen over the past few years were just transferred from the work being done on the new match graphics/animations in parallel? We have those new animations in FM24. Imagine we get those same animations with slightly better ball physics and somewhat ''shiny'' graphics lol. It's like a horror story. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sports Interactive should re-evaluate their relationships towards these two communities.

Butlee Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago 1 hour ago, Ti Ago said: Genuine question . Where is the holding midfield ? Only saw holding fullback , or has it a different name ? Out of possession? I'd say the 'holding midfield' is probably the 'screening midfield'. But you could argue it's the 'dropping midfield' as well, depending on what you're looking for. Based on the supposed leaked screenshots, I'd guess it's like: Dropping Defensive Midfield: Drops deep, almost into the backline, like an Anchor (or Half Back?). Screening Defensive Midfield: Sits in front of the backline, challenges AM's, other bursts through midfield or long passes. Pressing Defensive Midfield: Like the traditional Ball-Winning-Midfielder - closes down more, tackles hard, actively steps up to opposing players in the centre to make it difficult for them to receive the ball and/or forcing them to play backwards. Just my opinions, but hope that helps! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
