Manager Mode Questions and Answers

[Athir8]

Would the sponser payout be fixed this year, because 3 star teams get alot for some reason :S

[Smoke1642]

manager mode needs to be more realistic ive seen teams like blackburn and portsmouth get to the champions league final in the second season which shouldnt happen

[PbNCharlie]

I'm curious......the teams you play against in MM are completely fatigued after just a couple of games, but if you upgrade your own staff, you're at full stamina all season long.

This has surely been fixed, no?

about new leagues????

Surely ;-)...

As I've hinted in the answers to your/weepeeler's questions we have re-tuned the fatigue system - the impact of staff has been reduced, which will result in the players having better stamina off the bat and the players not all becoming "Supermen" when you have a high fitness staff level.

In addition we've introduced CPU line rotation, which means that in case the CPU players become fatigued, the CPU manager will actually replace them with another suitable player in their line-up.

On a screen level we have changed the layout for the pre-match report as well, so you can actually review your opponents starting 11 on this screen now.

Cheers,
marcel

The sponsors are still in the game, but they will not provide you with an "endless" source of money anymore. We wanted to make sure that Manager Mode becomes more challenging. One of the ways we tackled that is to rewrite the financial system. The board will now provide you with a Transfer and Wage Budget at the beginning of the season, the budget allocation will be based on the performance against the boards' expectations.

To not alienate users that really like to have more cash in their pockets, we've also added a Board Difficulty Level. One of the effects of setting this to a lower level is, that you will have more cash to spend and even if you're not 100% fullfilling the expectations of the board, they will provide you with a fair amount of money to spend.

Hi all - as you might have noticed :-), I will drop by this thread once in a while to answer your questions and discuss the Manager Mode feature with you. Looking forward to meeting you all and to chat about FIFA10.

Cheers,
marcel

[Liam1966]

Thanks for informing us sounds good

[-costasss-]

please mr.Marce Kuhn answer to my question.......about new leagues....i waiting replay....thank u

[Captain_Hilts]

Im going to throw in a little repeat of the "not enough players"-bug in hope that it will not be forgotten.

I also hope that there is some feeling of accomplishment when winning a season, not just team picture and "until next time Andy". I know Rutter says there isn't any trophy celebrations coming, I just hope there is something. Winning the title shouldn't be the same as winning any game.

Other then that I'm impressed by what's being reported, great work.

Hi Marcel Kuhn, thank you for taking the time to inform us on the highly anticipated Manager Mode.

Some questions:

1. Is the bug fixed that if you got promoted from the Championship to the Premier League you would qualify for the ECC?

2. Can we now add players to a shortlist for easier access afterwards?

3. Can we trade players (with maybe some extra cash)

4. VERY IMPORTANT! Is there work being done to fix the loans issue? In the real world lower league sides survive by loaning youngsters or unwanted players from higher league levels. Also 2 loans for a whole season isn't realistic.

5. Will players become unsettled when they don't play many games and request a transfer?

6. When viewing the league table, will the places for champion, European qualification and relegation be visable (highlighted bars...)

7. Will we be able to view other league tables than our own?

8. Are long term injuries now included? (broken leg, whole season out)

9. Will we be able to change our stadium in the Manager Mode? Say you're playing with a lower league side with a small stadium but eventually get them in the premier league, it would be stupid to keep playing in the small stadium...

Thank you so much for your precious time.

some question for Marcel Kuhn:
1)how many new leagues have fifa 10?
2)if greek super league added to fifa 10?

i waiting replay ...thank you ...!!!!!!

[osiris7786]

one question....
if i start with Barcelona (or another big team) , I can play the European Cup in first year??? or we can only play in Euro cup in second season after qualify for it?? like in fifa09 or 08....

[LETS-DO_DIS]

My questions Marcel

1. Will there be career stats, instead of season by season
2. Will we be able to view league tables from the rest of Europe (perhaps only the main leagues e.g. Spain, Italy, France, Portugal, Germany, Holland etc)
3. Will CPU squad rotation include first team members or random reserve team players being put into the team (this sometimes happened in 09 when a player would get injured)
4. Can you play the ECC or EFA in your first season if you use a club like Barcelona or Liverpool
5. Are there long term and more varieties of injuries (groin strain, hamstring strain for a month or 2 or broken leg for 5/6 months)
6. Is there more of a balance in terms of the bigger clubs in a league losing games (I hate when Arsenal come 10th or 11th and Sunderland are 4th)

[topkartdriver12]

ok, im new to this, but i read so many replies of people getting mad when sunderland finishes in the top7. i mean IT COULD BE REAL. Look at HULL CITY. They started of great being in 2nd or 3rd for like half the season. then they started losing. But my point is a team can get better. Even a newly promoted team.

thats true but i hate to see ManU or Chealsea to lose at own ground against Wigan and Sunderland...

It´s not realistic when Chelsea lose at home about 6 Times!

agreed! totally.
but what was the biggest upset this year? i think it should happen at least 1 or 2 times a season.

First of all, please call me Marcel ;-)...

Sorry, but at this moment I can't talk about new leagues being added as negotiations are still in progress. We always listen to the community and if it was up to us we'd include all teams that exist in the world. That being said there are always two sides that need to come to terms and it is a long process to get these type of discussions completed. Stay tuned - the website and the forums will keep you well informed if anything happens ;-).

We're currently still working on the Transfer System and the reasons why player negotiations fail. What I can tell you is that I've not seen the "not enough players" message for a failed transfer in FIFA 10 yet. I really hope it stays this way as it is highly annoying ;-).

[-costasss-]

greek supe league have chance to include in fifa 10 because the greeks teams buy some exellent players:CISSE,,,DERBYSHIRE,,,MELBERG,,,KALSTROM,,, and also we have players like :ESTOJANOF,,,RECOBA,,,DIOGO,,,BELLUSCHI,,,GALLETTI ,,,DUDU CEARENSE,,,KARAGUNIS,,,and more famous and exelent players in europe...thanks for your reply mr.Marcel,,,,and i hope you can reply and that message...thank u

Some questions:

1. Is the bug fixed that if you got promoted from the Championship to the Premier League you would qualify for the ECC?
[MK] Yes - pleeeease! We're working on this at the moment and I think this should be fixed for 10.

2. Can we now add players to a shortlist for easier access afterwards?
[MK] Yes, you can shortlist up to 20 players.

3. Can we trade players (with maybe some extra cash)
[MK] Unfortunately not - something I really wanted in, but when you look at reality this is often talked about (i.e. Van der Vaart + 30 Mil to Munich for Ribery) but rarely actually happens.

4. VERY IMPORTANT! Is there work being done to fix the loans issue? In the real world lower league sides survive by loaning youngsters or unwanted players from higher league levels. Also 2 loans for a whole season isn't realistic.
[MK] As mentioned before, we didn't have too much time to work on loans. I have heard about the 2 loans per season limit and we're looking into it at the moment.

5. Will players become unsettled when they don't play many games and request a transfer?
[MK] In FIFA 10, their form will suffer from not playing.

6. When viewing the league table, will the places for champion, European qualification and relegation be visable (highlighted bars...)
[MK] Great idea, but we didn't have the time to implement this for 10.

7. Will we be able to view other league tables than our own?
[MK] This is a problem we're planning to adress in the longer run. The new match result sim engine will most likely allow us to do this in the near future...but unfortunately not for 10.

8. Are long term injuries now included? (broken leg, whole season out)
[MK] These are already in FIFA 09, they probably trigger to rarely, we'll look into tuning this before release.

9. Will we be able to change our stadium in the Manager Mode? Say you're playing with a lower league side with a small stadium but eventually get them in the premier league, it would be stupid to keep playing in the small stadium...
[MK] You will be able to select and rename your stadium at the beginning of your career.

Thank you so much for your precious time.
[Mlalalalaig deal - thank you for your questions and your feedback.

Unfortunately that's the last one for today...back to work...

Ok, one more :-). Yasu Kosta! I'd also like to see the Greek league in FIFA 10, as I am from Austria and a lot of our National Team players are currently playing for Greek teams, i.e. GK Macho in AEK, OM Ivanschitz in Panathinaikos...but as I've mentioned before, at this point the decision is unfortunately not up to me...

[-costasss-]
