They need all the time they can get. this info will be released as late as they can each week. Lets be honest we wouldnt have got anything last week if they hadnt told us we would. Lets be honest, whatever we get wil be absolute waffle about them adding the womans game, they are excited about it etc....

tezcatlipoca665 Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 20 minutes ago, CamAshworth said: If I was to guess it will be a video made up of clips from the WSL with nothing at all being shown of the game. I think this is what'll happen - maybe some interviews and clips/images of the work put into motion capturing. I don't see how it's possible to showcase the women's side of the game this week without showing how the UI and match engine look. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmlima Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 2 hours ago, Zoolok42 said: Ok, so you think Unity switch is for future proofing basically, not because we can expect a leap in visuals? That kinda goes against what they were implying all this time, but it does fit the current lack of screenshots or any kind of promo material of an actual match. I mean, what do I know about their plans. My guess is easier multi-platform development. As could be seen from the Unity fees debacle, once you don't control your engine you are not future proofing anything. An ever better example of that was flash.

busngabb Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 10 hours ago, Etebaer said: My benchmark for UI and Graphics is still Fifa Manager and there is a recent Vid about it i like to show bcs pics speak more than words: I liked Fifa Manager in it's day, it was a very decent game and one they should have continued. With years of development and the use of the FIFA game engine for their presentation, it was only a matter of time before they dominated. I'd have still played Football Manager as well and the competition between the two would likely have spurred a high rate of development than we got with FM being the sole game in the genre for a decade. But to say that's your benchmark for graphics? The current FM graphics are a lot better than those, they just have the zooming in and close camera angles FM doesn't have. The in game graphics for FM25 have got to be a lot better than that surely, otherwise it would have been pointless moving to Unity Engine in the first place. I'm dying here. I cannot believe the in game graphics haven't leaked yet. It's one of lifes great mysteries how that has happened, everything leaks these days. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fmconsole Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 5 hours ago, decapitated said: New video from @Fmconsole on the potential uses of Volumetric technology in FM25 Hope it was just useful to see how all the technology works behind the scenes and how FIFA built the hypermotion engine before building the Volumetric Player Animations over EAFC24 and EAFC25 I've seen a lot of articles turn up based loosely on my first video so yeah hopefully it gives insights. I personally found it mindblowing especially the basketball, but still the tech is so interesting 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post janrzm Posted October 8 Popular Post Share Posted October 8 (edited) The later the announcements the more people will read into the delays. In terms of marketing it’s been one misstep after another and it genuinely saddens me to see this new release on the back foot before a “balls been kicked…” I just hope it can be turned around and something is released to feel positive about, better still get excited about and also just to fill the silence void. I realise I’m in a minority on this but I generally get as much satisfaction from bug reporting etc as playing. So, to see no news of alpha, beta testing which, lets be honest highlights loads of issues is a little baffling to me also.

Well, i do like the FIFA UI way better than the FM24 or FM25 UI as far as Screenshots go so i say FIFA is my benchmark for that. And yes, to succeed they need to be surpass FIFA graphics as well and i expect them to do so. If they suffer the same fate that FIFA suffered when the match engine degraded while the graphics improved (Braindrain and FIFA Manager merging the Engine with FIFA Football) is yet to be seen and i hope they can avoid that.

I am not a native English speaker, but in this case, "introducing" sounds me more like if they were introducing a new feature in the FM world. Just like it's usually done in the movies: "introducing Peter O'Toole" when he was in his first relevant role on the screen (Lawrence of Arabia). Of course I could be wrong, but that was the first thing that came to mind when I read it. Edited October 8 by Micho21 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO it could've been a proper headliner if you didn't introduce it alongside a Unity switch and a whole new ME and tactics system.

Talking passionate, talking stories, cool tactical chats and in depth questions being asked and answered. Different visions came up through respectful discussions. All I see around here for the last couple of years are just endless discussions which aren’t going forward, people wanting to persuade others that their way of doing things is the right one and justify it because of one sentence.. “playing fm since the old cm”. Some getting offended so easily and reacting with fire. Constant bashing of things from the game, the game as a whole, or everything around it. And last but not least the neverending why’s, how’s, when’s, i hope’s and what not. Not to forget the “what is the best tactic” questions you see on growing occasions.

I think what's going on is that it has been so long since SI announced the rebuilding of the game in Unity, that players have constructed in their minds what they think the game will be. Ultimately, no half-baked screenshots can live up to this expectation. People want the game to be different but the same, feel new but nostalgic, be modern but traditional, be streamlined but not dumbed down. My honest opinion is that it will both look and feel very similar to FM24 but with a coat of paint.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
