FM11 - DEMO - First Impressions

[Shay Given]

i cant assign my coaches to attacking and shooting training because it wont let me scroll down :S

 

[Max]

some media predictions need changing (like newcastle 19th :S and afc wimbledon 11th :S )

They're only media predictions, they dont really have a massive affect on the game so it's no big deal

 

[Steve*]

Is the match engine improved much???? As in does narrow formations still seem to be more functional than winger tactics?

 

[karakorum]

So far so good but will wait for full game before I review

 

[cameron]

I always find it difficult to enjoy the demo.

Really liking it. My tactics seem to be really benefitial for Valencia ATM. With Soldado and Aduriz up top it makes it perfect to set up the team for lots of crosses, and thus far the majority of my goals have been Soldado or Aduriz headers. Very impressed.

Also, has anybody noticed it costs money to give your players injections if they get injured? David Navarro just picked up a knock and I would have been charged £525 for injections. I know its not much but I like the thought into that. I'm such a simple minded boy.

1 thing I've noticed is unrealistic second nation declarations. For example within a month of the start of my game, Leon Osman had won his first cap for Turkey and Beckford for Grenada.

Never do injections anyway, they are suicide.

though to be fair to SI it was enevr going to revolutionary, not sure how much more you can keep changing in FM

this. if they implement a lot of changes for FM11, they'll probably be less for FM12.
truth is, they probably know whats going in next years game, or they have the ideas...

EDIT: also, what leagues are available on the download from steam?

its one thing to come up with the idea, another to make it work, for example dynamic league rep is something they've been working on since fm 08

It is a good game, bit annoying be a bigger club like united, and you get an agent coming to you everyday wanting you to sign there player. ( only been united, not sure if it is just the bigger clubs or not) but i guess that is realistic.

Seems pretty awesome.

yeah they absolutely pimp out their players, though in some ways its goond, spotted some absolute gems because of it.

those who like wingplay will also be much much happier with fm11

This. Soldado and Aduriz are having a field day due to Mata and Hernandez on the wings.

Love wingplay so looking forward to d/ling this later. Also Fm10 graphics are ok for Fm11 right? If so sorry for the noob question, how would I do it? Thanks gents

I'm sure I seen on another thread they work. So just move your folder mate .

Not got past the first day yet, but found a feature that nearly made me lol; the default relationships with other managers. Being a Newcastle fan and manager I hold Shearer, Roeder, Speed and Clark in my best opinion by default (good choices), and hate Monkey Heed, Wise, Souness and Marcelino

 

[Max]

Wingplay and crossing is completely improved, Coentrao and Albrighton have got about 5 assists each in 10 games, wicked.

yeah if you can play fm10 you can play fm11.

yeah valencia has suddenly become as lethal as real life, but you dont need to have big men to score. giigs has got a couple off the left flank becuase of his intelligent movement. so someone like cahill is going to be deadly

 

[gthame1992]

I'm happy with it, the new system is cool, the having agents and private chat to players is a good feature.

 

[Shay Given]

Vit Kriz is a class agent to deal with

Willing ness to tout players - 19
Agent fee demands - 3
Patience - 19

Shame Kadlec is his only player that im interested in

 

[GodCubed]

Yeah, the new match engine looks like it'll suit Villa. That said, Ashley Young is again underrated, but not as criminally as in the last game.

EDIT: Whilst I was typing this, I left the game on in the background. 5 goals in 2 games for Carew, all from crosses. I do indeed like this new wingplay system...
