What Features should be on Football Manager 2009 - Page 2 - FMFormation.net - Football Manager

Any kind of graphics isnt going to happen because of the licensing!!!!!!

And as i said its so easy to download packs.

I like using the original squad at the start of a game, so maybe there should be no transfers until January in the first season!

That way you have to stick with the club's real squad until then, just like they do irl.

i like th's first idea i think they should definetly do that!

mirjalovic · 13-03-08, 07:21 AM

yeh......suck licensing.germany=adidas,japan=konami.its imposibble to add all facepacks or logos.
in fm 2008,old player too fast to lost his abillity.....how about maldini?he can play until 39 years old

Blinker91 · 13-03-08, 12:12 PM

licensing, though it is suck, that cannot be vanished....
I only hope FM 2009 is better than ever....^^

i dont know if anyone remembers but when i first starting playing championship manager years ago there was also a game called Ultimate soccer manager, i thought that was great :) not as good as CM but was quick and you could do so much, get an overview of your ground, expand it yourself, install a new hot dog stand to increase revenue etc. etc. negotiate sponsorship deals yourself with potential suitors, trophy cabinet. all that stuff could i imagine be brought into FM to make it more realistic.
and you could also bet on your team to win or whatever as long as you werent caught out :)
Also i'd like to see in game graphics, not the whole match but if a player scores i'd like a little flash screen to come up with reference to how the player scored, just headers, long shots, penalties etc. would be pretty cool, or if a player gets sent off all the players arguing with the ref, just a few seconds of a clip would be neat.

Rumour mill and SSN is a great idea too, emails etc. where you can really build a relationship with another manager or player abroad or something. instead of it just saying redknapp has admiration for frank joe smith etc. etc.

Ultimate Soccer Manager 98-99

just for people to have a look at, it was a great game in fairness :) i remember going unbeaten with fulham all season but losing the very last game lol

just signup and click on the download link at the bottom and give it a go,, you can do an entire season in a few hours but some of its options in game are brilliant

guidmeister · 13-03-08, 04:49 PM

It would be brilliant if on match days there is a manager(you and the opposition manager) and you could move yourself.
e.g. you click on the dugout and you would go and sit down, just like in real life managers are always getting up and down, i think if you could control yourself on the sideline it would be ace !
Haha,if you scored in the last min of cup final or something you can tell yourself to run down the line with the players.

Btw, i love T.H's idea about the sky sports news thing.

**fulham_fanatic** · 13-03-08, 07:24 PM

just thinking there too that we as managers get paid a wage....it would be good if we could buy a house close to the training ground etc. and if you got the sack you might have to move house to get a new job etc. there must be ways that we can spend the money we earn!

if possible..i want some women league too..it is good to develop and encourage the women in world of football,right..

T.H · 15-03-08, 09:07 AM

I dont agree with womens football, coz quite honestly no one really pays any attention to it., and its not very competitive, there are games being one by massive goal margins every week!

**WozzaWolves** · 15-03-08, 09:19 AM

Ultimate Soccer Manager was the best game ever! I was only like 6 but i won the champions league with some rubbish german team, can't remember there name though :D

ant · 15-03-08, 09:47 AM

A complete media overhaul would be nice. What i mean is more media like bookies, local and national newspapers, local and national radio stations and local and national tv programmes from regional news to summat like motd etc) instead of news items saying things like "Frank Lampard has told a national newspaper he wants to leave Chelsea". Hang on- what national newspaper?

It would save on endless editing when the game is released. And yes better commentary is needed as well.

rimza · 15-03-08, 05:10 PM

women league can interact women to play FM09..i just wonder if they are more good than men in playing this game..it is just my opinion..

mirjalovic · 16-03-08, 11:50 AM

how about a feature who can make u as chairman?we can choice manager or chairman mode.its fun

T.H · 16-03-08, 12:15 PM

smalldark1 · 16-03-08, 04:34 PM

Inbox Preferences

- allowing the player to created filters for the in box. e.g. I'd like to not be briefed on scout reports for poor players or not receiving messages about goals and players of the week. Info on contracts of players not on my team etc.etc.

Shortlist Spreadsheed

- being able to see a "full player status" like you do in you squad sheet
- being able to filter for "player status" attributes (e.g. include you players but exclude players wanted by other managers)
- being able to filter for "scout report stars" (e.g. include transfer listed players rated 4* and better)

jam1985 · 19-03-08, 08:49 PM

i really think the media needs sorting. especially wen a former player plays against you you dont have to be reminded EVERY time u play against them. i think there shud be more interactions with players and staff and maybe agents. the confidence thing needs sorting aswell i think. eg if u take over a club that is tipped 2 be promoted or watever n the previos manager ballsed it up n u dont go up its as if u get the blame.

rybam9 · 20-03-08, 02:35 PM

All those idaes that are realistic are great, but id like to see a way to set up a way off making your favourite people, because if you set it up as an ex intrnational footballer, surely you would of come across someone yuo like?

also i think it be alot better if you could talk to staff, and the best idea i heard was the asking the supporter rep for 'what do you want'?

and it would be great if you could offer players incentives for coming to your club such as a house, car, etc... if you have the money of course
