FM Mag + Demo

[jbaseley]

Just downloaded it as well, for my tactic I just adjusted some of the instructions for the whole team and it got me a thrashing by Middelsbrough in my first game, probably should make a proper tactic I guess.

Impress by the game so far, i'm loving the media comments you can release about other managers. The presentation of the 2-d match engine looks alrite to.

With the instructions they're aren't really that hard to understand eg a team playing with a quick tempo is going to move the ball up the field faster where a team playing with a slow tempo is going to build up more.

Yeah, I've only just noticed the new media options! Cool! I think I might win (Hopefully) my first few matches before I start harassing other managers, just to build a rapport with the fans and gain some respect.

EDIT:

With "processing fixtures", what do all of the options actually mean? I have it on "Fastest - Can't Interrupt", but I don't know what it actually means

What's "Slowest - Play in background" do?

It's how the PC should calculate AI vs AI matches. If you have it on fastest, it's not possible to do anything during the calculation, and the slower you set it, the easier it gets to do stuff.

Stuff being non match-related gameplay.

ah bugger, thats really annoying.

Anyone with Windows 98 or ME dont bother downloading it,

"Q. I'm unhappy that it doesnt work on Windows 98 or ME

A. We apologise for this, however there was not enough time to correct the issues before the CD went for duplication. Although the game will load in most cases, 98/ME users will suffer from hardly any fixtures being scheduled and the ability not to be able to save. The final game and gold demo will work on your system!"

im amazingly pissed off. Though from what i saw from it it looks pretty good, was just about to press continue aswell and it wouldnt save

TROD.

I do think it is rather sad that they couldn't get this demo to perform fully on 98/ME operating systems. I suppose I got to see the match engine and the layout though.

If you select 'Fastest - Can't Interrupt' the game will process all other matches as quickly as possible and will not allow you to click and browse around whilst it's doing this (and this is obviously the quickest method of doing this).

'Slowest - Play in background' or any other setting other than the fastest one will show the pop-up dialog box with a 'Play in Background' option whilst the game processess.

Selecting 'Play in Background' will allow you to break into the game and browse around the interface whilst the game continues to process the matches.

I hope that makes sense.

Ah ok, thanks, I tried 'Slowest - Play in background' and it wouldn't let me click Play in Background .

But anyway, I have it on Fastest now, seems to be a very good game
