RandomGuy. Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Did one of the SI members not clarify why they release a new game every year on the SI forum? Sure I read something about them being reliant on getting that funding every year whereas a subscription would make it more awkward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Am Featha Taigh Nan Clach Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 A new release each year is better IMHO. It gives a new impetus. If it was just a rolling contract I feel I'd have less incentive 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Tunbridge Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 VAR has been added with a few other features announced via twitter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 All very Alan Partridge shrug. Don't remember any feature announcement being much different though, despite the hype. I'll no doubt get the game, as most of the changes you pick up are never talked about and build up to make the game more fun to play. Hopefully it is this time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM. Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I've not played the PC version of FM since about 2011/2012ish but just got a PC again recently so I'll definitely be getting this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im actually quite excited by some of those changes. Tactics and training seem to have been improved quite dramatically. Not bothered about the interface changes and VAR can get in the sea, quite frankly 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tactics and training seem to have been improved quite dramatically. Not bothered about the interface changes and VAR can get in the sea, quite frankly All of it really. I doubt I'll touch training, never really have. Tactics are a difficult one to say - I'm much more of a player to set out a formation and just hope it works rather than go into great detail, but if this makes it less tedious and error-prone to do so, then great. VAR I really don't see the point of though. I'd need to see how it's working (there's a youtube video on the announcement but can't see it in work) but just seems like pointless fluff that's only in there so boring people can say how realistic it is. I fail to see what it adds to the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Toboggan Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 The VAR animation of the ref running over to look at the booth is going to be a pain in the arse after the first time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fail to see what it adds to the game.I might not use either that much either but it's nice to see genuine attempts at making key areas better rather than just fluff like press conferences and tactical briefings.

RandomGuy. Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Only seen a brief glimpse but like the look of the new tactics screen, been a long term issue with the "transition" phase of it all. People didn't seem to realise your formation was the defensive formation, and the roles decided your attacking formation, this should hopefully clear up the whole thing. Are the "tika taka" type things default settings too? Be quite helpful if they give a rough outline then you can tweak it to your squad/preference. VAR is purely cosmetic, doesn't put me up nor down at all. Trainings interesting, does it affect individual training? I never bother with squad training but do set up stuff for individual players I'm trying to mould into roles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I'll survive another 30 hours tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
