i think people need to realise this is "Football Manager" and not boardroom manager etc... expanding the stadium etc... has nothing to do with the manager

hey touk just watch the language mate, were trying to keep the forum clean off this

Schmidy

Most people seem to be getting at the same thing, being able to talk to people more. I think we should be able to talk to the players more about big games, and why they dislike each other (when the problem arises). Also I think when there is a game being played there should be a manager figure sitting with his staff and a few buttons that allow the player to make quick tactics change for example more defensive ir more attcking.

i recon they should add a feature where when u get enough earnings you can buy a club and take full controle ov it

Schmidy

Ya, that would be cool but then it is not Football Owner but Football Manager so that would be a small problem and besides you would have had to manage for a long time and still you might get bored of trying to earn enough money to own a club

I completely agree to Schmidy.. A figure sitting with his staff at the edge of the pitch is very good... We can see the real game... Interaction between players and manager in the game should be increased, with quick personal tactical change... or we can talk to the captain to give some commands....

Stadium sizes because there seems to be no difference between them. Upton parks pitch isn't as big as old trafford.

In FM 2009 i'd really like to see the introduction of player agents receiving fees from clubs when a transfer has gone through and maybe even have attributes such as negotiating etc. I'd also like to see match tactics worked on in training and maybe at the end of the year be able to take your team out for a party or dinner event. Finally i'd really enjoy being able to do something with my weekly wages for instance buy shares in smaller clubs when unemployed or even take over a club and become chairman working your way up from the bottom or even pump your own money into the club your managing (like jeff king does at chelmsford fc) I believe that this could be the next step forward for football manager in years to come and i know people are saying "this is football manager and not boardroom manager/football owner but why not add this to the game niall quinn is now sunderland chairman but was once a player for them this would give players another option and more freedom to the game.

i think the idea of taking over a club is actually really good.no need to do any major changes that don't agree with the philosophy of the game.you could become chairman and therefour have no transfer and wage budget.you could spend as much of the balance you want on transfers and have as much wages as you like.no other team management actions that wouldn't fit to the game.

Personally i feel better in game tactics would be good. Like instead of having to go to the tactics screen then wait for them to be applied you should be able to tell your players to push up or get tighter to an apponent from the touchline as it were!!!

Hartynips

yeah on lma manager you could push one of the control pads shoulder buttons, and you'd heer "Long ball"!!! or "Push up!!!" you could aloocate quick dugout tactics like that from various keys.

logomofobognor

exactly.....like if you could see that your centre back keeps missing those headers or getting turned tell him to back off!!! Or you have the other team backed up tell them to push up

Schmidy

Thoughs are all good, so all in all we need dug out tactics saying "push up, back off, more attacking, more defensive, long ball etc..."

I like the idea of talking to the players more because you should be able to threaten or praise your players more for example a player plays badly in a game thar everyone else has played well in you should be able to speak your mind.

Thanks to liveru for the sig

logomofobognor

Exactly, i like the fact you can change tactics whilst the game plays in 08 but you need to not have to wait till the ball goes out of play or something. Like in the dying mins of a match and all you want to do is tell them to hold onto the ball!?!? in 08 you change the Tactic then they either score bofore its applied or the game ends or something!! So i say more REAL TIME changes!!!!!!!

Bowser

I think we should be able to talk to players when they are going to be subbed off or something, and stick men playing footie would be nice :) i dont like the fan supporter, theyre eitherraving about how bad u do or raving about how bad a player is. Also, quite a few players cheat (eg. Saving it and reopen if they lose etc) I think the game should auto save every game to prevent cheating and also if we write stories/current game section, we would know there has been no cheating involved.

Schmidy

Thats a good point but people would get really angry having the game save before every game. If people want to cheat well thats there "sore loser" coming out, thats just something we have to live with. Recently I just tried out Fifa manager and there are a lot of things in that game that I like, but there is so much to do that I could not actually do everything. I like the fact that in that game you actually could raise moral more by having parties or going out, you could also talk to the players more, and you could have your own private life which was pretty awsome. Just some more thoughts

Thanks to liveru for the sig

Akenatwn

talking to the players more is a must add for the next edition.you should also have personal relations with your players.i mean go or not go well with a player and that affecting how he plays and trains...and there should be something to do with the money you get.and about the cheating,all games provide the player with a way of cheating.if he uses it,it's his problem.having the option to cheat and not do it,that makes a success even bigger...

Another improvement could be with the training I think you should be able to have more detail and that as some one said on here already you should have them train on a spacific thing in which they go up but 3 or 4 stats, and then if you stop training them on that it drops by 1 or 2.

Thanks to liveru for the sig

mirjalovic

yeah...........i agree with you,bowser.Real time save game is good idea.Block mind from cheating,like in real world,see fergie,he never re-load his life if he lost

i also agree with realtime taqctic changes,like in real world
