Manager Mode early complaints

[southernbelle]

on the uk forums, there is early talk about issues with MM. namely the issue with form (phyiscal attributes changing game to game - not just skill/mental) and variance of weather.

gameplay sounds amazing, but people calling form issue a game killer for MM.

we will see. i get it friday, will pass on my thoughts.

This is VERY sad news ...

The "improvements" to MM in FIFA10 are what I am most excited for.

I am an offline-only player - and I get immersed in MM.

I hope that this is not a game breaker ...

Me too! Strictly off-line and if MM is broken what is the point.

A screenshot from one review showed a cutscene goal scoring celebration where Peter Crouch was the same height as another teammate. Crouch is the only 6'7" player I know of, and I don't think he has a teammate who is as tall as he is.

to be honest : PES year in and year out has a very addictive Manager Mode (even without all the realism) and me as a longtime PES player have no issue with physichal attributes changing as in PES they do that since the dawn of time and no one complains about it, do they ?
Maybe it´s the fact that the attributes aren´t shown different ? But it´s obvious that a player with a red up arrow is faster, quicker than a player in bad shape.

So if that´s all their is i´m not really discouraged. Should be fixable in a patch as well i guess.

after playing about ten MM games, the problem seems to be that the form is just exaggerated too much. They got a bit carried away I think. I've heard that form changes transfer value as well. If this is true then it's incredibly stupid but I'm not sure if this is true yet.

also hearing issues with injuries and fatigue....

I have read they are aware of the form issue and are working on addressing. Could be that there is a patch in time for the US release.

As for injuries and fatigue, I'd be curious to hear what the "problems" are. Everything I read and watched from David Rutter was that there was going to be more emphasis on both so you were in situations where you had to use your bench. He said he hated that in '09 you could upgrade your Fitness Coach to level 10 and never have to bring a sub on for the entire year if you didn't want to. I welcome the challenge of having to tune my lineups, look ahead on the schedule and plan accordingly for fatigue - AS LONG as there's no more 2-match days...LOL!

OK so you wouldn't pay more for a player bang in form than a player horribly out of touch? To me form is intrinsically linked to the transfer value of a player as an in form player is more likely to be in demand than a player out of form thus his transfer value increases.

If it's exaggerated that is a shame because it would add some nice depth if done right.

I may just wait to see if they patch it before buying.
