Paddywhack Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Ooh, I'm not a fan of the new tactics screen. Hopefully I should get used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicho Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 tactics screen isn't absolutely horrendous, why have they changed everything? The side bar is huge and annoyingly changes colour when you navigating though the game. Is this set up for tablet gaming in a windows esqe development move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddywhack Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I think it's £5m transfer budget and £900K wages. tactics screen isn't absolutely horrendous, why have they changed everything?

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 It would take some effort to fiddle a sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddywhack Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Come on guys, grow up. Anyway, I like the fact that you can add yourself as a first team coach on this years game. I just wish I could I get down and dirty with the youth team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 AndyClarke - can you give us any spoilers on the stats of Villa players? I can exclusively reveal that all of the Villa squad in the game do have stats. Is that good enough? That's superb :-) but have there been any major attribute changes or have they not been finalised yet? I find the club research intriguing. I thought a lot of the Villa players were vastly overated on this years. Within 3 years I had got into the CL, Luna and Lowton were absolute different class, Bacuna and Sylla were dominating midfields. I think Delph's stats will be improved, Also, I am sick of players requesting ridiculous contracts. That needs sorting, it isn't realistic. I had Delph and Vlaar (just two of many) requesting something like £70k a week contracts in their final year only to sign for PSV and Stoke for about £30k.

daggy_333 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I've played Championship Manager/Football Manager since CM2, this is the first version i can't get into. Just feels so different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I keep getting texts asking me what I think of it. They are shocked when they find out I haven't got it! Been nearly 20 years since I last missed one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) The match engine feels much better. Playing some amazing football right now. Takes some getting used to, but after a while everything is fluid again. Edited October 25, 2014 by Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarjei Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 (edited) I'm in mid January, sitting 4th with Villa 5 points ahead of Man City. Playing Bacuna as a ramdeuter - haha. He's got 8 goals in 14 starts. I'm doing well and all, but my tactics are not really based on football logic.. rather they're loaded with anti-wonkyness instructions, made to combat the wonky ME. I think it needs a lot of fine tuning. Edited October 26, 2014 by tarjei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logged about 150 hours of 2014, so just seeing this released has my fires burning again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarjei Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Don't get me wrong, I'm liking the game as much as any other FM, but as always the match engine is not polished yet, which I guess is to be expected. I've not played a full season yet, but so far my take on it is this: - Defenders too often caught out by balls over the top (they react slow or move in the wrong direction - thus playing with 'drop deeper' seems necessary) - And in relation to the above; too many pin point 40 yards++ through ball from average players - Adding a target man to your tactics means the team will lump it onto his head at every chance, which is very ineffective (simple solution is to not use it, but the AI teams still use it so...) - Wingers are much too effective in converting chances and very hard to defend against with certain formations.Gabby and Bacuna have 20 goals between, I wonder what would happen if I had an actual winger in the side!! - Too many missed crosses from deep that turn into shots - A lot of goals comes from defenders trying to clear the ball against another player. - Goalkeepers fumble and act strangely. They're very slow to react after saving to get ready for rebound shot. - 4231 AI formations are very vuneralble both through the middle and on the flanks due to AM players not really doing much defensively. - Full backs in general are close to helpless, out of position and closing down ineffectively. A lot of chances come from fullbacks rushing out from d-line when there is no need to. All of this really means you have to play a certain way to get by. I might suit some, but far from everybody. Well, that's my opinion anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daft Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Great write-up tarjei! Having bought every FM so far, I'm not even sure why I'm holding back. Should get this right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarjei Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 What I'm enjoying most is the changes to scouting. It makes finding new signings much more difficult, and the process makes it more immersive. It's no longer possible to instantly know just about everything about a player. The UI takes some getting used to though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
