too much bugs
jeu tres bien et beaucoup d ameliorations par rapport au debut du jeu
good game
So, after MANY years, a ridiculous amount of hours & different iterations of playing FM, I can safely say this is the worst one I have ever played & NOT because of the UI. You get used to the UI after around 15-20 hours. Sure, some things are counter intuitive with a mouse & keyboard, but again you get used to it. My biggest UI gripe is that whilst making a substitution you can't check a players game time happiness without "leaving the match". Annoying. The main reason for the negative review (& if not for this I would leave a positive) is the 3d match crashes. 1st season - Ajax (pain in the posterior not having ANY club staff - they "corrected" this with an update quite early on if I remember correctly resulting in now having a club doctor only...) no crashes at all until the last 3 games of the season - the last 2 league games & the champions league final. At random points, the match just freezes & stops responding. It might or might not happen so I managed to get through the league games after 2 crashes in the 1st & 1 in the 2nd. Cue the champions league final against man city. I managed to go 2 0 up after 31 minutes & it froze. 2nd attempt, I went 2 0 up just before half time & it froze when entering the half time screen. 3rd attempt, I went 1 0 up, got through half time & froze just after 2nd half starting. It feels like the equivalent of AI rage quitting! It would be annoying during any game of the season but to be happening like this at the pinnacle of the season? I'm beyond despair that I had to instant result it to progress. In other words - don't "manage" the game in a football manager game?!?!? I have experienced more crashes in this than in ALL my hours combined in ALL previous versions! I have continued on only for it to now do it during random matches at the start of the next season. I have got to November & I can't take it anymore. It also likes to switch players on the wing on your in possession tactic but not the out of possession making your players swap sides of the pitch all the time. It even had my CD swapping with RB at points. A managerial, tactical game that randomly tries to sabotage you at every point it can but not in the ways you would expect.
嗯,都说ui是问题。我想着我已经好久没玩FM2024了,我可以当作一款新游戏玩。 万万没想到呀,这个ui不好,根本不是老用户习惯问题,是设计师就脑残,不按人类习惯设计呀。 我连第一步创建个经理都能卡住,我也是醉了
