How Are You Doing On CM?

Match engine? Tactics Creator?

Match engine? Tactics Creator?

I meant bugs wise... Previous versions there have been bugs which have stood out like the proverbial dogs balls...

This version, nothing has stood out like that...

 

[sledger]

But nobody has played the full version yet either.

 

[Loony BoB]

Yes, but usually there are bucketloads of bugs in the demo alone, let alone the full release (which, it should be noted, is nothing new to the video game business as a whole - most sports games in particular are buggy upon release, along with all sorts of other games).

Having said that, while I haven't got too deep into it, it does feel like FM09 with a different UI and updated teams/players so far. I've not spent more than a few hours clicking around so far, mind you, so we'll see how I feel after a few matches. Looks good but nothing majorly new... of course, I suppose when it comes to "something new", FM09 would be pretty hard to top!

Trust me it's true. Usually on the SI forums there're loads of negative responses. Very few so far. And those I have seen are massive overreactions from people who have no clue what they're doing or just want to whinge without being through.

Play it yourself though.

Naa not interested anymore.

Oh I see. Yeah. There're a few that I don't think people have spotted yet thankfully which will be fixed in a patch. Don't know when yet. All depends on how testing of the latest build goes. If everything's sorted it might be out on release day. Nothing game breaking though as you haven't seen them yet.

 

[Loony BoB]

I've found a lot of things that are amusing if not really bugs. Stanraer's stadium is owned by Stanraer reserves, and their backroom staff don't know anything at all about their club's players according to the little charts.

 

[roseboy64]

Mots likely due to them being generated by the game.

 

[roseboy64]

Naa not interested anymore.

Fair enough. Was more at Pearce though.

 

[sledger]

I'm not interested either tbh, as even if what you say is true, there is not enough there that wasn't in the last one to make it a truly worthwhile investment.

 

[roseboy64]

Ok. Was just trying to get you to try it first before making a judgement.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Am actually tempted. The version after a major engine update tends to be decent. Plus tactic creator will hopefully take a bit of time out of micromanaging.

 

[roseboy64]

Try the demo then. Nowhere here have I asked anyone to spend money.

 

[roseboy64]

Meetings for FM11 features are going to start soon so any feature requests? Think I submitted the ones that were mentioned before when I last asked and they'll go through those again to see if they're possible for FM11 while they weren't for FM10, so no need for me to submit again those.

 

[Loony BoB]

More open interaction with players. At the moment when a player is homesick, there's sometimes nothing you can do. When a player is angry and wants to leave or something, you can't pull him aside and have a talk or anything like that. Given that man-management is probably the one thing I can think of that FM hasn't covered to a high enough level. Well, as far as I'm concerned, anyway.

Can you put forward my suggestion that it should be as much like CM01/02 as possible...

If this was the case then I'd buy FM again.

 

[roseboy64]

Nah don't think they'll be going that way from what's been said. Any specific features of that version missing now you'd want back though?

Already been suggested in some way by someone else so will endorse this there.

The way that CM01/02 was good would be a welcome inclusion.
