I know what you mean, he worded it badly, he said "adjust tactics DURING a game" I would like the extras on advanced tactics too for offside and injury 21/12/2012 20:53

Eam the live updates he suggested don't really have to be "live". What they can implement is a tactics tab that says If X player is injured, replace him with 1. this guy 2. or this guy 3. or this guy. Or something along those lines. Same with the offsides thing If I have been offside x number of times change my tactic to ThisTactic.

This make sense

Getting back on topic, I believe that there's bigger issues that need to be addressed such as the glitchy SIM instead having a luxury like catering.

I remember when I got the messages for the changes for next season, reading the "catering" update really deflated me. I was thinking, "that's it?"

Well, my only gripe with catering itself is that is that it is so tedious to stock everything up that the reward might not even be good enough.

Yea, I tried it today. And just like the store, I will basically never use it again. Too many clicks, and not enough pay off.

+1 for the tactic
I'm agree with KingOftheHil for the tactic and injuried change. I've already written a post about it.
Now if you are not Interested by the cantering, don't use it.
personally I use it when I'm connected but I would not connect me just for that

I think being able to adjust tactics during a game would be much more useful than any store or catering. I don't care about selling hot dogs, I'd rather make the correct sub when my players are injured during a game. Or move my attackers back when the opposition is playing offside. It's called striker manager, not catering manager.

The update of live changes while the match plays will never happen,

I'll give a couple of reasons why

1. People will leave this game as they can't watch the match and live change tactics because of work, sleep, school etc. therefor they will lose all the time

2. The match already has a result before the sim plays, all the sim does is shows you what just happened,

I agree!

And don't forget that people live in different time zones. I, for example, live on the west coast of canada in the pacific time zone. For me my matches happen some time between midnight and 1 p.m. each day. That means sometimes I do not have the opportunty to watch my game live, unless I'm prepared to get up at 3 or 4 in the morning, which I'm clearly not. During a season, in which my league games take place in the middle of the night, I'd have a clear disadvantage compared to people who live in Europe and always have their games at times, when they usually are awake.

I come back constantly to this game without the clicking tasks. More focus on football, please. (And this is from a paying GB buyer... I'll keep doing that as long as the focus is on football). 22/12/2012 23:57

Look what do you want? Really?

All they've done is taken the existing game, and added something else to it. I'm not 100% convinced by catering yet, I don't use it that much and at this stage I can't justify paying the upgrade costs. You have to spend money to make money with it, you can either do it there or in other places like with your players - they have given you another option to make money. You can either ignore it (as I have so far) or you can take advantage of it and use it to support your other habits.

Is it really that bigger deal?

As for sim changes, they are extremely difficult to implement. The slightest alteration can affect the sim adversely. They tried to fix the existing issues in the sim and now you get defenders pass/tackling. We were able to veto the beta sim being uploaded to live last season and it wasn't easy, the devs really are trying to fix all the existing issues and believe me if the fixes were simple they would have been done already. No one seems to have noticed that they've fixed the friends list so you can finally remove people from your list that never accepted a request. I've been asking for that for a year now.

And please, the devs need to make money somewhere so give them a break. You don't have to pay to play this game if you don't want to and I'd rather keep it that way.

Someone said that 'if they're giving it away, you are the product' or something to that effect. That's bullshit. I love this game because of the people in it - everything else is secondary.

I said it, and it absolutely is not bullshit.

And players are upset because the coders are spending their time coding frills instead of coding additions and improvements to the core game.

As far as I know, coding is very labor intensive, and if the SM staff is small, their time resources are few. If that's so, I'd rather have no small and frills update at all in exchange for a quality, core-game update later.
