You are just not suitable for the game. I mean, stop complaining about this and that like a mean girl. Personally, for your record, I've destroyed a laptop, a desktop monitor, 3 mice and countless keyboards ONLY for this FM08 version. Why? Because of losing key matches with relatively weaker opponents with uncredible match stat: My team 30 Shots , 20 SOT with 2 goals ahead but find myself losing 3-2 at the end with opponent 5 Shots, 3 SOT. But it's life mates. Don't moan about it. Don't say it's untruth. It is. A lot happened in real life. And if you lose, blame yourself, not anybody else. Especially not the game engine. For me, it is more realistic than ever.

You kidding right?
That or you are a troll.

this thread is gold on a Friday avo...

perhaps anger management is an optionm, maybe get some vouchers for Crimbo..

And you watch games in full - must be like watching paint dry mate

:-)

I'm not really sure but hell yes...
I'm really kinda bad tampered. And the point is, the game is not giving me any option to tell my player what I really feel about them. The only thing I can do is just tell them I'm angry at the end of the match but when I check team talk feedback showing stuffs like "Doesn't seem to be listening", the heat just come up like never before

jompyshy · 12-15-2007, 01:15 AM

Well I don't watch every matches in full. Only when I'm not totally confident about my tactic or want to try on new tactics. And especially when I'm losing one and there's 10 mins left. But watching full match worth it man. It shows you your tactical weaknesses that other highlight can't

I think the shouting in games are kind impossible to do as it would take ages if the engine had to recalculate everytime. We pretty much have the ability alreday with the tactic changing, ream managers can't go in and pull a slider two steps to the right to get more pressure neither do they have the option to call the whole team and draw them a nice picture to tell them how to play. They have a much harder time doing tactical changes than we do and I kinda see our freedom with tactics as something to be compared to real life manager running along the sideline shouting, atleast the effect is the same.

Generally I was just more than delighted about the way the game has been developing for these two years. A lot have been upgraded and it is more than approved that FM is no doubt the best of the best football manager in the market so far.

Ok. So for me FM is the best game ever. But I just want to blame SI for one thing. Why on earth did you develop the game that get me addicted like that???? But well, i'm happy enough to forgive that.

But still, i still wanna make some recommendation. Maybe it will mean headache for you guys but recommends are just recommends...

1, More option for team talk. There's an absolute lack of option for team talk which only limit to whole team or single player. What about for a whole position such as for all defender, all midfielder, all strikers, like: "You defenders are lacking of concentration today" or "I want to see more creativity for the midfield" or "What's wrong with you strikers? You are lack of pace or your off the ball look miserable" ... stuff like that. Or maybe something using multiple choices like : "We are so far the best team / We are not performing like ourself recently - and today - we gonna crush them / we will show them what is football / we gonna tell them who we are / there is no pressure on us anymore" .... etc....
A whole lot of ways. Just please make it more complex.

2, Lack of player interaction. Please add more. And one BIG BIG BIG missing. I can't blame an opponent player. I think that is very important. Jose Mourinho is my idol. And I love the way he is making fun of opponent player. Stuffs like, "Cristialdo Ronaldo? Just a child who is good at dancing" or "Barcelona is great city about acting".

3, A duck out system. I have heard somebody asking about that before and hope that it will be included in the 08 version but nope. Nothing happen. A little disappointed

4, A more complex training system. The training system is just so simple. I would want it to be more specific. Even a little bit. It could be possible to add a session where we managers can take control and train the player the way we want with the things we want them to train to get to know more about the player. Once every month should be ok.

Well, I think I've written long enough now. And just realise I got an exam to attend in 2 hours. So hope to receive a reply or whatever from you, and fellow managers wannabes as well

lol is this guy jokin or what?

I don't know if you are watching your matches on full mode. than all things are clearer. this ME has great potential but at the moment it's flawed.

You have the right to complain just as he has the right to say he likes it, why hijack the thread.

I agree the ME is flawed, but not fall all. For me playing the tactics I use its actually fine.

Im happy with the game and am totally hooked as are others, lets not turn perfectly good positive threads into a shots/ratio complaint thread. </BLOCKQUOTE>

Probably because the OP behaved like a troll, telling those who complain to go and play another game. If he hadn't done that, and just stuck to an actual review, I'm sure Mitja wouldn't of felt the need to "hijack the thread"

A quick glance across any goiven days threads tends to see Mitja trolling himself looking for any excuse to promote the Beta Patches or Hijack any positive thoughts, so whilst I'm not sure the OP is in the right, Mitja is not any better.
