i think i may be the first person to complain about the match engine graphics..

dont you think should take the next step by actually having players on the pitch instead of circles with names on em.

im not asking for pro or fifa style graphics that would jus be an unreal target, but something like the graphics of LMA manager on ps2

the graphics there arent special but you cant tell wen you see a skilful player

on fm i would have no reason to continue playing a striker if he doesnt score goals because i cant see him actually doing anything.

whereas on lma i would be able to see a good defensive midfielder for instance because you can see them making tackles and you can see them having a good work rate / determination etc.

but on fm if you had a real life situation like carlos tevez at west ham, he didnt start scoring until late in the season but they continued to play him
everything game becoz they saw what he could do

imagine this situation on fm
im sure most people would be very frustrated

anybody disagree or agree hmmm ?????

I think what we have is adequate considering the knock-on effects of changing something like that. If you look in the team stats you can see what your players are doing well and badly.

for example
ronaldinho in real life,how would you be able to tell if there was a player that skilfull on fm?????

Go play FIFA Manager then?

There is ALOT more work that would go in to making a 3D match engine. SI would have to take on quite a bit more staff. The game would also no longer be accessible by those who don't have the money to upgrade to higher end PC's. One of the nice things about FM, is that it has very low system requirements, and if you were to make a 3D match engine, it would require a much better machine.

It's not as simple as it seems to just convert the engine from the 2d version they have now , into a 3d version with actual players.

Also, I am able to tell when players are skillful in the current match engine, it's pretty easy actually.

Please no, dont make FM graphics anything like those.

LMA I play when I want arcade graphics, I would like better graphics...someday.

But when people still struggle with 2d match engines and complain about it, there is still much to achieve with 2D

You may consider this though, FaceGen is the first step to 3d, yes? ;-)

retired_healer

i would love isometric match like CM

retired_murphjoa

i still dont no what face gen is
explain please

you can judge players in FM even if they don't score well, I can watch a match and see my striker working hard and creating chances for others and ends up with a good match rating because of it.

I can'tt see how by watching the match engine you can't tell if a player is playing well or not

retired_murphjoa

fair enough but what about spotting a skillful player

retired_jetefe

FaceGen is the engine by which new player in FM are given faces, meaning that when a 3d engine eventually comes about, all the players will have faces and bodies.
