Is there a release-date for FM Mobile 2016? I stopped playing the full game 2/3 years ago and now only play the smartphone-version, much more fun for me.
Yeah I've been playing on iPhone and previously Nexus for the past couple of years. It's very simple and has this pick up and play feeling that I'm looking for in this type of game now, I don't really have 3-4 hours a day to devote to management anymore.Is there a release-date for FM Mobile 2016?

IndeedIt appears new information gets lost amongst Miles tweets denying any constructive criticisms.
Giggs is playing it to prepare for his future assignment.Will buying this game make me a better poster in the Utd forum?
Right, that's it. Sold.Giggs is playing it to prepare for his future assignment.
Pretty sure the info's on their website.New features are revealed in dribs and drabs on twitter which is frustrating and sh1t if you dont use twitter. Why not just put everything on one page somewhere?
That's right yeh. The main features like fantasy draft, create a club, design your own manager etc are on their website but newer smaller features are constantly revealed on TwitterPretty sure the info's on their website.
The past three versions came and went while Miles was denying constructive criticisms.It appears new information gets lost amongst Miles tweets denying any constructive criticisms.
Not sure why but I never really take to Veratti on FM. He'll be really expensive and in previous games he's never been more then a squad player for me really.Veratti and Brendan Galloway(should be great prospect/backup at LB and CB) will be on my list.
I guess it depends on your style of play, he's usually a monster dlp or rp for me.Not sure why but I never really take to Veratti on FM. He'll be really expensive and in previous games he's never been more then a squad player for me really.

We should be quite nice to play with this year. Lukaku is always a beast, Barkley will maybe have a slight upgrade or fixed potential, Stones will be upgraded, Galloway will be upgraded, Browning might have a bit of an upgrade, Deulofeu will be rated well. Plus we have a squad which doesn't need much improvement but is big enough to let players leave and then invest in it. A problem before was that we had a small squad and little money so if you sold someone it was usually hard to get as good a player in.Veratti and Brendan Galloway(should be great prospect/backup at LB and CB) will be on my list.
Yeah, Everton are going to be a fantastic FM team this year. Strong in key areas, plenty of prospect, and the finances should be there even if you have to wait a season or two.We should be quite nice to play with this year.

was that the 2010 match engine or have just literally not improved it since?Tweet

So the message is apparently: we know our AI is crap at building squads, but fixing it is clearly not as good a suggestion as simply pissing off human players.People often complain that the AI aren't good enough at creating squads, but then on the flip side criticise the only real way in game to stop user players hoarding players? You couldn't make it up.
Those graphics really need to be upgraded at some point... same shite every year.was that the 2010 match engine or have just literally not improved it since?
Also every single one of those goals came from long balls.
I play on 2d anyway so it doesn't really affect me to be honest.Those graphics really need to be upgraded at some point... same shite every year.
Yup, I used the 3d match engine when it was first released as it was something new, but that didn't last long. It's a damning indication of just how bad it is that watching 2d dots is better!I play on 2d anyway so it doesn't really affect me to be honest.
Or the chefsI still use the text commentary, so it feels more like Championship Manager. Watching the dots does my head in.
I don't really need to see the shape of my team or how the game actually plays out. I'm very LvG-like in my approach. I won't change something mid-game. I stand by my tactics, and if it doesn't work, it's probably Herrera's fault.
That argument doesn't even make sense. Is he saying the AI are gimping potentially great players and holding them back just so we can't buy these players?The latest from the land of SI. This is Neil Brock, one of the devs, on requests to tone down the ridiculous number of player complaints:

I think you misunderstood him - his post kinda makes sense. He's basically saying that "AI's squad building is too stupid" technically equals "humans have too big an advantage over the AI in terms of squad building", so if they nerf the problems(difficulty) player complaints cause for humans they would increase that advantage even further.That argument doesn't even make sense. Is he saying the AI are gimping potentially great players and holding them back just so we can't buy these players?
Putting aside the fact that it's impossible for us to buy every 170pa players, with things like squad restrictions and transfer rules, what's wrong with actually having the AI managers buy these players and properly develop them?
Ah. I probably did. I was just basing my post on his quote without the context of the whole discussion.I think you misunderstood him - his post kinda makes sense. He's basically saying that "AI's squad building is too stupid" technically equals "humans have too big an advantage over the AI in terms of squad building", so if they nerf the problems(difficulty) player complaints cause for humans they would increase that advantage even further.
However to me that also implies that they seem content with using one badly designed mechanic to pseudo balancing another REALLY badly designed mechanic, which to me seems like they are resigning to their own incompetence.
I think it's utterly pathetic how stagnant the whole series is, but unfortunately there seems to be no competition for the in sight, so they will probably keep going like this.
Yup, that's it exactly. And if their forums are anything to go by, the developers offices are probably also a Miles Jacobson circlejerk.I think you misunderstood him - his post kinda makes sense.

The whole thread is one big clusterfeck and reminds me why I left the forum.The latest from the land of SI. This is Neil Brock, one of the devs, on requests to tone down the ridiculous number of player complaints:

What SI have done is go in entirely the opposite direction to "the customer is always right". The customer not always being right is a casus belli to attack critique with the hound dogs. And when the critique is done by moderators and staff, that poisons the well and nobody will want to defend them for fear of getting themselves banned (and they're ban-happy).Thirdly, and possibly most controversially, what we’ve found over the years is that the customer is not always right. They might think they are, but if you look at these forums, there is nearly always an opposite point of view somewhere [...]

That place is really insular. The mods get extremely defensive any time criticism is brought up, and there's a clique of users who buy into it (like that Cougar fellow).The SI forums are a really, really old community - as old as Redcafe I think, if not older if you include lineage to Championship Manager - but unlike Redcafe, many of the staff are veterans, tight-knit, and similar-minded.
A little bit regarding the reserve but it will mostly make you an expert in the transfer forum and a medium poster at least in the football forum.Will buying this game make me a better poster in the Utd forum?
