Anyone played FM 2012 yet?
If so, what your views/opinions.
Very tempted to give it a crack, but I'm still in full flight with 2011, and might not upgrade until even 2014.
Impression from the initial information out there so far is that it's very much an incremental edition - that's not a criticism, but if they haven't managed to fix the major bugs, and flesh out the undeveloped features, then people are going to be asking serious questions about what they've been doing all year. Somehow I doubt that'll have improved too seriously.
is it out?!??!
With my pc being dead I havent been paying much attention.
Whats the major updates this time?
Ditto what Kopite said - my preorder says that it's out in 10 days!
New features:
Manage Anywhere, Anytime – the ability to add or take away playable nations in your saved game as often as you want. Manage in that country at the start of the next season - meaning you don’t have to decide on which nations are playable at the start of your career.
Transfers & Contracts – significant changes to the transfer and contract systems, including loyalty bonuses, better implementation of amateur and youth contracts, an improved transfer centre and the ability to lock areas of the contract negotiation when you aren't prepared to budge. This helps you to manage your budgets and gives you flexibility in what you offer money hungry players, or agents, as incentives.
Scouting improvements – using several real life scouting reports, a new in-game report was devised which includes squad analysis, tactics information and information about goals scored and conceded alongside lots of other scouting improvements, giving you all the information you need to prepare before kick-off and throughout the season.
3D Match Improvements – new animations, a whole new crowd system, improved weather system, more stadiums, plus two brand new cameras - "Behind Goal" and "Director Cam" as well as all other camera angles being reversible - meaning you can watch and analyse every aspect of every game.
Intelligent Interface – a new adaptive layout system, which means the higher your screen resolution, the more info is easily at your fingertips. The new interface also contains new filters, customisable columns, a new tactics screen, and lots of new overview screens.
Tone – a whole new level has been added to team talks and conversations, with the new tone system, which allows you to specify the way you want to say things – be as cool as a cucumber by saying things calmly or throw tea cups around by saying things with passion. There are 5 different tones to choose from with specific comments per tone.
Brand New Tutorial – standing separate from the main game, a mode to help new players find their way around the game easily, whilst also offering tips to experienced managers on how to get the most out of the game, as well as a new in-game “how to” system.
The ability to add/remove leagues as and when sounds good to me. There have been times i`ve started a game and then regretted now having league x available..
Cheers for the heads up Jim - downloading the demo now![]()
