FOOTBALL MANAGER 2009 - Graphics Speak Louder Than Words! . . . [Mock-ups Included]

The mock ups look great but TBH I just don't think it is in the CM/FM tradition. It's all a bit too fancy and a bit in your face. I like the way FM is understated yet brilliant and I like the fact that it doesn't seem to rely on gimmicks like well taken pictures etc.

I've played Fifa and I absolutely hated it and honestly beleive even if it had the same match engine as FM i'd hate it becuase it all just seems a bit too fluffy and comic booky.

Your ideas look well but I think i'd prefer them as a downloadable skin option rather than an addition.

DUDE! Those mock ups are amazing!

THAT IS EXACTLY the kind of thing we need in FM. Someone at SI please use the person that did these mocks a job as a consultant!

Pretty much love all the suggestions, I'm not for the faces on the tactic screen or on the match engine view but I love the sky sports style score popping up.

Very, very good work indeed. :thup:

Has anyone noticed that FIFA is a boring arcade game at best.
Yes those changes would be great.

I think everyone on this board would much rather that the in-game issues are resolved before any cosmetic changes are implemented.

SI have a graphics man, making it look better with these changes will not distrupt any coding at all.

awesome mate!

just hope that guys from SI will implement your suggestion while making next FM.

great job!

I beleive FM would greatly benefit from a design overhaul - less text, more graphics.

Attributes
Attribute Alternative Colour
Match Flow
Overview
Table
Tactics

Before i start on the following topic i must insist on telling you that i really dislike Fifa Manager 08.
However the difference, i feel, between FM and Fifa Manager is:

DATABASE: Football Manager > Fifa Manager (90%-10%)
GRAPHICS: Fifa Manager > Football Manager (65%-35%)

Fifa1
Fifa2
Fifa3
Fifa4
Fifa5
Fifa6

All the work you've done is brilliant. Info is alot quicker to access and the screen is much more livelier. Class work and I really hope we see these in the next game. 10/10 :thup:

It will be amazing
