Football Manager 2016 - What features are you hoping to see added?

The Wild Bunch

Once again - I'm hoping for more improvement on the matchday engine, starting to get tedious at this stage.

Greater array of press conference answers would be welcome - I can click what to say without even looking at the screen because it's the same answers over and over again.

And they really needed to sort the player valuation - Wonderkid, 16 years old, worth 500k, bid 2.5 million with 30% sell on - selling club want £79 million.

Not happening, mate.

want them to fix the column resizing issues, currently have loads of space to fit more stats but they dont show up and on the match day team selection screen if i resize a column the one on the end will disappear off the end of the screen

Part in bold really bugs me, hope they fix it for 16.

I like the way it is to be honest. If they change it, it should be changed to clubs saying they have no interest in selling.

16 year olds don't transfer that much. They stay where they are. Making it possible to sign any 16 year old would ruin the game for me.

I'd like to see player interviews, like after a match etc. Would make it more realistic

Buzzing!!!

Now the managers are on the touchline


Team Instructions Screen


Competition Stats


I hope the answers to the media questions aren't as long as the team talks!




Board Meeting




The absolutely god awful tactics screen


Prozone cross analysis

Are those touch screenshots - everything looks so clunky!

I like the competition stats though - makes getting a picture of which player is doing well, at what stat, in a league more straightforward.

Was just going to say that! I think it's full version but taken from a small window/low res. If it was on full screen/1080p it wouldn't look at bad. The tactics pitch looks really odd even though it's just a change in the shape of the player icons. Would prefer player faces to be there or something.

Overall looks like less changes than last year so hopefully more polished and more match engine tweaks. Also whilst the draft concept could be really cool if it's only for multiplayer then I can't see it taking off. FM just doesn't lend itself to multiplayer well at all (too long to get 2 people together often enough).

Baggly

Even with a higher res - they are cramming a lot into each screen. I was happy with layout for 15 - ah, i am sure ill get used to it to.

Who am i kidding....it's not like I'm going to NOT buy it.

Yeah it does look cramped, I really like the team instructions screen, not going back to sliders but a bit more visual or something. And the stats screen looks lovely.

And 100% right, if they launched a .zip file of a load of excel macros I'd still buy it. This, Madden and Fifa get the yearly treatment from me, each year I contemplate dropping one or both of the others (and have at various points) but FM is ordered like clockwork, the only decision is where to buy it from.

Feck that

Places like cdkeys.com will have it for ~€30, and with beta access

Mister Robinson

CDkeys are doing it for €29 at the moment but it doesn't say if it includes the beta.

I'll be getting the tablet version, usually only around a tenner.

That a very good price for release, are they the notoriously slow ones?

I bought off them last year and they were late with the beta keys. Can't remember but I think the key was sent to customers 2 days after beta started.

GMG would probably be a better bet, bought 2014 from them and they sent the beta key early.

I'm disappointed the tactics screen is the same, more or less, than FM15. I find it pretty useless and unintuitive

I hope for more realism around England. In most of my games they win multiple world cups where they couldn't get out of the group stages in 2014.

Also with how bad they are in the champions league this year instead of English clubs winning it all the time.

Also for more regens in the Ireland team when you're managing them, anyone with dual nationality England/Ireland is just teasing me as they always do a Grealish even if they're mediocre.

Definitely need to nuke the national team but haven't seen any CL domination really? Normally have Bayern dominate in mine.

That's the other thing German national side are regens up until a good few years into the game.

I know there's a fix you can download.

I never signed anyone who had the "Has a real problems with injuries" weakness, and never spent big money on anyone who "Might have a problem with injuries", which restricted me sometimes, will love that new clause
