jester1470 Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 The new game is released in 3 days, has anyone else got their preorder in ? Apparently this one is another quite big change with a new interface. The biggest complaint I've seen so far is that there are a lot of own goals, I'm sure that'll be changed in the first update.

The Milner Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 I thought the same, then i invested in one of those cooling trays for my one, and its back in action and screaming its way through more FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are your general thoughts then, do you notice a big difference? Have you suffered from lots of own goals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 I didn't like 2014. I think I might be done with Football Manager. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jester1470 Posted November 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Is that possible? You can just quit whenever you want? My theory is if you can just up and quit you were never really into it in the first place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Milner Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 One thing i have noticed with this version is crosses are overpowered right now, im making David Moyes look like a tactical genius right now with the number of wasted crosses my dons team is churning out. I have to keep checking that Pawlett hasnt morphed into a white Tony Valencia.Totally annoyed my squad by refusing to give Pawlett a new contract when Celtic bid for him, which is frustrating.

Lemonade Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) I though 14 was far too hard, too fiddly and there was too much emphasis on tactics. I'm used to just signing the best players and steamrollering everyone, with this one I would have 11 superstars lining up at home to QPR, have the team set up wrong and be 3-0 down by half time. And it never tells you what you're doing wrong. You're just meant to know. You'd win or two on the bounce and think you'd turned a corner then get stuffed 4-1 by a team you should be turning over without even trying. Not one part of that game was fun. I feel like they've made it so inaccessible for new players as well. Like if you don't pay much attention to real life football tactics you've almost no chance of achieving anything in the game.

Moose Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Isn't that kind of the point to the game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Well I don't know anything about driving a Formula 1 car either, but I can win at that game. And I don't know much about sending an army into frontline combat but I can beat Call of Duty. It's a game. I want my games to be fun and something that I can beat by learning it through playing it.

Pawlett is like real life, electric for some games, goes missing for others. Jack is really solid without being spectacular. Taylor is rash, but solid. Logan is mr consistent with a really annoying habit of wasting the ball. They have it quite spot on this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its boring just buying the best players, picking an 11 and hitting continue for the next 3 weeks. You can learn plenty in FM, but to do it, you need to really work at it. The answers wont just land on your lap. Your kinda comparing apples and oranges as well. COD is not a replication of war at all, its a shooting game designed to mimic a war like scenario, FM actually attempts to follow real life football where possible, they are completely different.

Adam Easy Wishes Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Also, they did address that with the FM Classic option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester1470 Posted November 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Got the code through last night and started playing, really liking it do far, the changes seem quite logical and I really like the bar down the side. This could be the best upgrade in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Just installed 15. I've been staring at the playable countries list for about half an hour. I just can't decide who the first save should be with. It's a huge commitment. I think I'll have to sleep on it and scour Wikipedia in the morning for an interesting club. Otherwise, I'll go as my beloved Wehen Wiesbaden. THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE MARCO CHRIST ANYMORE. Heartbreaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 I started as Villareal. Before a ball is even kicked, this little scumbag "wants to have a chat". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 So, players are just bastards now, right? All of 'em. There's no opportunity to win them over with the promise of Champions League football in the near future. They just set their sights on leaving, and that's it. I told Vietto he couldn't leave, and he snides back and says "Just wait until my team mates hear about how you have treated this situation." The snitchy little cunt. If a player doesn't immediately get his way, the agent is promptly on the case, demanding buttloads of money. Big Bastard is a fish out of water.
