grade Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 Jesus lord... I hope that the first announcement comes tomorrow. I'm getting sick and tired of this pointless discussion of nothing since debating removed features is already old news and debated to exhaustion. Just give us a bone to pick from, and we will be happy for a few weeks. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ANDY1OM Posted October 6 Popular Post Share Posted October 6 Fm is a pc game and always has been. It's the reason some people get a pc. Purely for fm. Do a console version by all means and the mobile one but please don't dumb down the pc version so you can cross play. Hope I'm way off the mark here but this could be a nail in the coffin for si games. Myself and most of this community have been buying the game since it was championship manager and have bought the new version religiously it's almost a habit. Once you break that habit alot won't buy the game religiously. I really don't know what there thinking ATM. Crazy. 24 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All we've seen are a few work in progress screenshots. All they show is a streamlined UI. Players still have the same stats and the system requirement recommendations are actually greater than before. As for the suggestion it's being consolised, well the game's been made for consoles before. They could just do that again. Nothing points to a massively mobilised game for me. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people are putting the UI changes and the reveal trailer obviously being aimed at console/mobile players together and coming to the conclusion the games been consolised. Like almost everything else in this thread it's wild speculation based on almost no evidence because we still know more about Miles cancelled holidays than the game.

Choi seung won Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 I think today’s announcement about women’s football is far from what we want to see. The information we want to see, such as match experience, tactics, and UI, has been pushed back in the roadmap. If today’s announcement were to show women’s football gameplay footage, UI, tactics, etc., the roadmap would actually lose its meaning. Today’s announcement is likely to be disappointing. It’s likely to be about basic information about women’s football (playable leagues, player data, the process of making women’s football, etc.). 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know CA worked with SI, that's interesting. Any new information would be interesting to watch in a video. I liked the fact that the video was no longer than it needed to be and didn't have any cringeworthy attempts at comedy or drama (both of which are definite drawbacks to some of the more notable FM youtubers videos). Keep up the good work. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ds_61_1 Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 15 hours ago, speck said: It's good that apparently the women's leagues can essentially be disabled when you start a game, that should remove one of the larger areas of (I think legitimate) complaint regarding the loading of leagues and players that would never be played. It's good that the inverse is an option as well. I wonder if when disabling one or the other that it also removes the "mens" and "womens" from the names. I would find it very jarring if i disabled either of the options and the team was still displayed as "Liverpool Women's Team" or "Liverpool Men's Team" 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So even though you disable leagues, they should still be shown through the search bar. The same as if you load a large database, the top women’s players should still be searchable.

I hope it doesn't also mean that you're going to end up with a huge databse bloat of players that you simply cannot utilise. I don't think it would cause bloat, or any noticeable bloat. Inactive teams/players/leagues AFAIK don't really add to processing. A bit like not loading the USA league when you are managing in the UK. You'd get all the teams there, but no fixtures, viewable table and maybe 3/4 top rep players at a few sides. Of course, could be slightly different as it's going to be Womens leagues so if I were to hazard a guess if you loaded the English mens league down to VNL but didn't select English womens as a playable league then you'd have the above for presumably each mens league you selected as playable on the DB. I'd imagine you'd get maybe 10-30 seconds more loading time on the editor as that has to load everything up (and the editor seemed really poorly optimized for FM24 anyway).

I think the only two things that would make my head explode would be no pre-game editor and no skin modding compatibility for the new UI as even if it's very good, the option to be able to mod skins is great and the community here has been blessed for the last decade with the quality of some of the skins. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because a console is only useful for gaming, but a PC or laptop can be used for many other things. A decade ago the software evolution force to update or buy a new computer each 4 years, currently a computer lasts longer I have the same computer for 6 years and still can play games with good performance and it seems that will last a few more years unless a malfunction happens. I guess kids will play mostly in a console, but adults will play mostly in a computer because they will use it for other things also. Taking into account the complexity of Football Manager, mostly around tactics, scouting to know how to identity good players for your playing style and so on, this game will be played mostly by adults I believe 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novem9 Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 16 часов назад, ANDY1OM сказал: It's the reason some people get a pc True story. I'm a computer geek who loved playing games and use all sorts of tools on my dad's 386 PC as a kid. That computer didn't even have Windows. I've had several PCs since then and FM was part of it. I even had FM08 installed on my office client when I worked in tech support Later I started using laptop + playstation model. But in the end I bought new PC. For a couple of shooters (I hate aiming with a gamepad), but primarily for FM. I wanted to use a larger database, so I bought a new PC with processor that allowed me to do this. So now I have PC + Switch. I will definitely try FM on Switch. But the fact that the portable version has the limit on active leagues (there will probably also be a limits on features, like in Touch version) makes it clear that this is not the same game as FM on PC.

I mean, we've been down this road. 3d would hardly be the main reason to use Unity. 3d will certainly change because the use of Unity means you will be rendering into the screen in a diff way. If it's better or worse than at present, it's down to SI. It will never be as good as a dedicated engine, but with sufficient work it can be good. Showing Unity by itself would be the driest thing ever, what they will show is the match experience which effectively means the 3d bit of the game..

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. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
