I've applied my Gameface to my VP and the game has turned me into a white male with a black face!
1. Players i sign will leave the club without warning before/during the next window (sounds like a bit of a Campbell to me )
2. I cannot renew my players contracts or offer them an extension on their current deal until the end of the season, therefore the automatic deal may take up a lot more of my wage budget (at a club like Torquay it will be small so i don't want to use it all up on renewing a few players contracts)
3. Even before i consider numbers 1 & 2 i have to be aware that it may not be possible to sign any players on mananger mode (have EA included the transfer embargo given to Chelsea on all teams now?? )
4. I will have to play a lot of my manager mode games at night (being a Torquay fan this does not really bother me as we've recently come up from the BSQ Premier where a lot of games are played at night)
5. A cup final if/when i get there will be played at night, what is that all about, maybe EA are looking to the future of football (Saturday night cup finals)
6. If i happen to win league 2 and maybe the league cup, Torquay will all of a sudden become better than Real Madrid overnight with my players/team ratings shooting through the roof.
All the bugs I've experienced in MM (after 5 days)
- No matter where I am in the league table, as the players are coming out at the start of a match and the league table flashes up quickly, it ALWAYS says I'm 6th. Even if I'm near the bottom of the league, it will still say I'm 6th
- Snowy matches should give you an orange or yellow ball. Also, it's very hard to see the touchline on a snowy game.
- No one will sign a new contract... would this change if I spent points on upgrading the Negotiator in staff upgrades?? This is very disappointing because I'm going to lose half my team at the end of the first season.
- I put 6 past Villa, I put 6 past Man Utd, well placed at 3rd in the league, yet I still get told at the start of every game that my position as manager is under-threat.
- About 10 games into my first season, with my manager rating at half a star, I get board comments saying "a manager of your caliber should perform better in this league"
- I loaned out a few of my youths in the summer window, then in the Jan window I noticed my loanee's were being sold on (their names came up in the transfer summary window after a game) - I haven't reached the end of the first season yet, but when I do, if they do not come back, it's not really a loan is it? I've basically sold them for free - against my will.
- I haven't experienced this yet but someone has mentioned players just leaving the club without any transfer negotiations? IF this happens to me then MM is over, because I play as Everton with all the current squad etc I try to keep it as realistic as possible.
- Half empty stadiums is a big let down, I haven't once experienced a good match atmosphere as of yet. Maybe this gets better as your manager rep goes up??
Wigan (me) v Fulham - Brilliant premier league game. Won 2-0, but lots of good passing, attacking and movement. Plenty of time on the ball, with Fulham pressing in the right areas (i.e. not when you have the ball at the back).
I played Wigan v Aston Villa as a Live Season 2.0 friendly, I like Wigan anyways so know their team pretty well, surprised to see they have 3 or 4 real faces in the game, including Rodallega who looks fantastic in Fifa10 with his boots, hair, wristbands and real face, looks spot on and I really enjoyed using him, has a great long range shot just like real life
I'm hoping David Rutter or someone in the EA hierachy comment on these bugs, like they did with the first ones. The sooner the better, just so we know they'll be addressed or they're at least looking into sorting it out.
I looked at pre ordering, I guess you have to do it in store though as opposed to online...Went to asda last night at 11.50pm thinking there will just be a few nerds there queuing up OMFG what a mistake, there was about 500 queuing up! Managed to get a copy after queuing for 1hr, and played for about 2 hours last night. In work today....bas#*rd !
Very impressed, love the practice mode, the high cross field passers, the headers at goal are a lot better. So much better than the demo.
Next year I am defo pre-ordering with asda (bargian £26) and I hope EA improve the graphics (pitches, faces,kits) and I hope they also let us edit more (Torres looks like he has brown hair from a distance).
Cant wait to get back on it.
What does the squad update do? I thought all the transfers etc were done?
Hey guys where is practise mode? Is this only avaliable in MM mode?
It's in Arena, I have not had chance to use it yet, I had a quick go with Practicing FK's though...Hey guys where is practise mode? Is this only avaliable in MM mode?
