i wouldnt want a 2d match engine anyway as id rather it was realistic but simple than have space taken up with a 2d pitch that may mess up.

i think a description of the goals would be great and better comentary

To be honest I’d prefer the PSP game to keep its distance from the PC version and maintain its position as a much quicker more immediate on the go alternative. The 2D engine has taken ages to get right on PC and requires a lot of processing power and it’s actually been quite nice to return to the days when half the fun of each game is adding to the text commentary with your imagination. So I’d definitely prefer they stick to the text format and concentrate their efforts in other ways. Especially as there seems to be so few people working on the game so the list of things to be changed probably won’t be that long.

Being able to choose your own tactics and move players about on the tactics screen is a definite must.

A more vibrant transfer market with more movement by other teams and a greater willingness of other teams to make offers for your players so that you’re not stuck with a load of rubbish players for years.

Allow us to manually lower the value of players so that you can make them more attractive to other teams and sell them much easier.

Make the fog of war much more intrusive so that scouting becomes essential and gives you something other than matches to concentrate on during the out of transfer window periods. The player search is far too helpful and gives us too much info on players too quickly. A general impression of their overall skill would be fine. Then you have to scout them to discover the individual stats.

Have the text commentary in the middle of the screen so that we don’t have to squint so much

Much more feedback on the opposition from your scout so that you can plan accordingly (e.g. do they play with a high back line or like to drop deep? This way you can choose to play a pacey front man or a big target man.) Numerous choices like this would make preparing for each game much more interesting and give it more variety than simply picking the fittest players for the same formation game after game.

More feedback from your staff on what you’re doing right and wrong. Sometimes it’s impossible to know why you’re in a slump. Your assistant would surely be able to see what areas aren’t working. Maybe much more informative match commentary would also help this.

With regards training it’s never been a very important feature because you can only improve a player in very small ways otherwise you would have a situation you got in old management games where you could crank players up to 20 in every stat. So it’s never been a really influential feature. It would be better to concentrate on team training where you could get your players familiar with formations and tactics but to be honest I would keep training as one of the lesser changes.

Financial considerations is a tough one because no one wants to go so far as to setting the price for hotdogs! But it might be nice to get the opportunity to allocate some funds to stadium improvements which would then boost the support and bring more money in. Then again would anyone choose stadium improvements over being able to sign some new players when you’ve only got a small amount to spend?

Just some more ideas. Great thread. And it’s nice to see so many helpful members commenting positively amongst each other.

Oh, he made a bigger list than mine

lol.

I agree with you saying ;

Create are own friendlies,
Fifa World Club Cup and the trial as well as a many others.

Though obviously we cant have even a quarter of all of these features. A handful would be great for FMH08!

:thup: I would prefer to have to scout than to just search for high attributes on the player search though i guess Si could just say "Dont use it!" lol.

Rooney runs up...GOAL!! Great!

Scout 1 reccomends Rooney as an excellent signing.

:thup:
Good point, i often find myself picturing the game/even saying commentary to myself as i read... Plus the amount of effort required to develop the 2d match engine to a sufficient standard would not justify its introduction, and would take a lot of time away from devs time to work on other more important features in need of improvement.
Good post pumadalglishgold

To Everyone that say they don't want 2D MATCH ENGINE

FROM STEWY

I did say they SHOULD have a POP-UP MENU so you can choose what you want before the game starts - 3 OPTIONS -- 2D Match, Match Commentary, Quick Simulate

I did not say 2D Match Engine would slow game down if you pressed on Match Commentary. How is that going to slow match commentary down if you dont click on 2D Match Engine. To make it even quicker than having it on very fast match commentary i've added Quick Simulate

retired_susanyak

Hey Stewy. I don't think the issue is the speed of the game. I think the big problem is the development time it would take to implement a 2D match in the PSP version. It would probably take so much time and effort that there would be little time left for the dvelopers to make any other changes in the game. And personally I would prefer to have a number of other changes as mentioned above rather than a 2D match engine.

retired_bandana

I had an idea, though i think it would more likely be one for the pc version only.
I think when agreeing to an offer for a player you should have an option to explain to the player, for example, tell them you only agreed because the offer was from a big club and you want whats best for the player. Then its down to their loyalty as to whether or not they leave. On the other hand you could tell them they have no place in your squad and effectively push them out.

retired_megatron

giving it a 2d match engine is a must

just dont add all the other crap thats in FM PC

keep it as it is, just add a 2d engine, and fmpsp will be the perfect game
