Popular Post Smoo Posted June 30 Popular Post Share Posted June 30 1 hour ago, NineCloudNine said: This is such a weird take. What does “mandatory” mean in this context? You don’t have to play or engage with any part of the game if you don’t want to. This is like conplaining about the inclusion of South America, or lower leagues, or international football. Mandatory: If I load the top 10 men's league's and their second division, are the women's top two league also loaded? Do I have the option not to load them? I usually play with a large database. If I choose to load all the leagues I usually load, the inclusion of women's football will increase the size of the database I play on by god knows how much, this impacts the performance of my PC and the speed of my game. Either I take the hit to performance, or I load fewer leagues. Either way, I'm impacted by something I'll never use. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think some people are assuming that every available women's league will be loaded for every men's league you load. There is also the problem that you could end up with elite men's managers managing women's teams, which would be a problem. We've all seen weird scenarios where Guardiola ends up manager of Nottingham Forrest and the like. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've all seen weird scenarios where Guardiola ends up manager of Nottingham Forrest and the like. At this point is all speculation. We had just one phrase that it is going to be one ecosystem... Quote Full details of which leagues will be playable will be revealed in the coming months, but, yes, you will be able to seamlessly move between managing men’s and women’s teams. One game, one ecosystem. The quote again is here. This can be debatable: - It can mean what we have now. We load the leagues we want to play, and that is it. - If it means that if you want to load the premier league, it loads both men's and women's games. I'm more inclined to believe it is the first option, the second since many people have limited PCs. Forcing this means that it will duplicate the loading times and processing times... As I said, it is all speculation at this point. I don't see SI releasing any more information until September (which is what bothers me the most). 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSfan Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Look at this: "For a while, this has felt quite old school given that modern football managers spend way more time on their phones than laptops." What the ****? I don't never ever play the game on my phone, or laptop, or other ******** devices. Is it a blame that being old school gamer or etc. Such a horrible concept that in every circumstance putting the ****ing gen Z to the forefront than those who play the game for years, maybe since CM series.

jcafcwbb Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Reading again what Miles said about the shouts was that they didn't work and made little effect on the match engine. I play on console now and we have four shouts, do you have more on the full PC version?, and I find it hard to see how they would affect the match engine: Praise - this may mean don't change anything and can only affect morale. Probably best used when you are knocking at the opponent's door or if you are away at an opponent like Man City and are defending well and are still 0-0. Whilst morale may be lifted, for a short while, will it change things? Fire-Up - whilst it might mean be more positive and get stuck in what does it affect in the match engine. Demand More - I cannot see what this would change - maybe morale? Focus - when you defending a lead/draw or just scored. Isn't this just the same as change to a Cautious mentality? Or move the mentality down one? A lot of things the shouts do can be changed in the tactics menu. You should also decide what part morale or player engagement plays in whether they listen to the shouts. Shouts should never be a magic win button and like, real life, their effectiveness should change depending on the situation. You get the impression that some players are not totally listening to what Southgate or his team are shouting to them. That should also be an aspect of the game.

Polando Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Does anyone lead their team with one tactic? Even if I create a great tactic that will give me a few or a dozen wins, sometimes even a place in European cups, sooner or later there comes a moment of breakdown and I get beaten by everyone, even though I beat him to zero a few months earlier.

2feet Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 On 28/06/2024 at 03:13, Rashidi said: I’ve had friends who’ve seen me play FM and are only interested in the match day experience. Most are put off with the spreadsheet feel that the game has had over the last 20 years and I for one am glad that we have ditched the “Home” screen in favour of a portal where I don’t need to deal with an “inbox” and spend each turn skipping messages and only responding to necessary ones. Personally I’ve wanted a UI that felt like Oracle’s cubes, and with the tile UI interface it seems like we can have a top down approach to drilling for information. And instead of being saddled with detailed information, and having to ascertain what’s necessary and what’s not, we now have a UI that simplifies things. Naturally SI only revealed the design pages so there is plenty more to come, I for one remain guardedly optimistic and will only have a concrete opinion once the game is in my hands. I do have some concerns and these involve immersion. While I understand the need to rework how touchline shouts will be implemented within the overall game flow, I do hope we don’t have to wait till it’s reintroduced in FM26. That by far is the BIGGEST form of immersion in the game for me. I like the sensation of feeling that my shouts matter. Since the current implementation of shouts has always left questions unanswered, I feel that the best way of kicking them back in again is via cutaways. Each time a shout is used, the game could cutaway to the manager gesticulating, this could give developers the change to code the script to recalculate from that moment onwards. It’s also a great way to showcase our eye patches, earrings and watches. I look forward to getting my hands on FM25. I suggested cutaways a while ago, like a miniature small tv-screen pops up in one corner showing a close-up of the sidelines with the manager issuing their instructions to the player. What we watch in the cutaway scene presents many possibilities for interesting gameplay. How the player reacts could indicate if they have had difficulty understanding the new instructions. Examples: They may become confused if you're telling him to do something contrary to his player traits. Or confused if he is tired and struggling to focus. Or may become more motivated if the player feels he will be more effective with the new instruction. So you would have to watch what happens in the cutaway closey and get a read of how the issuing of the instructions went. And do you issue the shout from a distance or do you call the player over to you on the sidelines? If you call him over then does your team then suffer for him being temporarily out of position? If so then your timing of when to issue the shout becomes very important, only call a player over if there is a gap in play. If you issue the shout from distance, then does that limit what you can tell him, due to the distance, and only being able to use gesticulation. When you look at it, there are really so many variables with the concept of a shout, and Im not surprised the developers need to take time to get it right. But l'd love to see something like this implemented well in the future. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really really doubt the leaks are from the PC version, looks more like the mobile/touch version with the space between boxes, or perhaps they have added a Lite PC skin version which was available few years ago. Just like any games, mobile version will soon be the core market, and from a business standpoint it's a win-win in the long term. But the SI aren't dumb enough to ignore existing hardcore FM players for something so Lite, it's well documented they're stubborn to drastic changes in any FM versions. ME is probably the most likely changes, which will effect in the short term, but in terms of interface i really doubt the leaks are the PC version.

KillYourIdols Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Dont mind what we have seen of the UI so far tbh, I like to think it is laid out more like an "App" that a manager and data team may use IRL rather than pages of text like we are used to. I just want to see the data packed in rather then it lacking and made to fill the screen, leaving blank, wasted space. I'm holding out for a skin that, invariably, adds more data/style than SI allow by default. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

These attributes also feed into our match engine of course, and work done in this area (for example, looking at height of players and how that may affect how they play – such as aiming shots higher if a goalkeeper is smaller) will be of benefit for the match engine overall." 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game loads a few players for teams in un-loaded leagues too. It's only a couple per high reputation team, but it's something. My game already runs slow enough as is, would really prefer it not be even slower For the record, I'm not against women's football being added at all. My concern is entirely performance based, and that's completely on SI to get right, women's football could be added with no performance decreases at all, will it?

MWoolf Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 In re Shouts: My guess would be that SI data shows that many players are using shouts instead of adjusting tactics and changing OIs when the match is going poorly. Removing shouts forces players to focus on the big levers that affect match outcome, rather than repeatedly pushing buttons that only affect the fine tuning. And that seems like a good thing. The problem is, shouts are fairly easy to understand, while tactical adjustments are much harder to understand. The change probably needs to be coupled with some more extensive support for new players in learning how and why to adjust tactics and OIs when things are going wrong.

I mean the same can be done with tactics My problem currently with the shouts is it's not clear exactly what is making you Shout. If you Shout to "Demand More", what are you demanding more of? That they run harder? That they play smarter? That they stop missing passes? There's no way the game knows exactly what you mean by that. So a guess is made. That's not immersion, it's confusion. The same is true for at least half of the other shouts. So I'm not surprised that it's being removed for now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm not surprised that it's being removed for now. Only role of shouts in this game is to try to improve the body language by using the appropriate shouts at the appropriate moment. Running harder , missing less passes can controlled by tactical instructions, and were never designed to be controlled by shouts in the first place. No point of getting confused. Now, how much the body language affects the in-match performance is up for debate. I guess it didn't have any affect seeing how coldy they chopped off this feature.

If ever, I'm surprised it turned out by their data that this feature was used basically by no one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novem9 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 I really hope they connected wm and w slots in one position. Winger who knows roles for 4231 , but don't know the same role in 442 flat is nonsense for me 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder with the new engine if there will be space for a modding community to build all real life stadiums and import them in the game? I tend to think this would be possible and would only increase the match day experience and its immersion? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
