Migrei os arquivos do FM24, talvez seja algo nesse sentido mesmo.

Com algumas horas jogadas de FM26, ao meu ver a expectativa e hype em torno da nova ME foi bem maior do que as melhoras de fato.

Laterais engessados, que cruzam muito pouco, lances até repetidos de gols com um passe rasteiro pro meio da área e o jogador que chega de trás finalizando, buracos defensivos infinitos e quase impossíveis de corrigir, jogadores que as vezes “tropeçam” na bola (e nem tô falando de divisões inferiores, jogador que corre e “esquece” da bola, perdendo-a facilmente…

Mas a expectativa maior sobre ME era mais pelo lado cosmético, movimentos mais variados, personalização de estádios, etc.

Os erros de animação, eu esperava até mais. Falaram que agora o motor é totalmente 3D, então vai ter muito polimento necessário ainda. Você vai ver os mesmos impedimentos "duvidosos" validados no VAR, por exemplo, porque o cálculo ainda não está totalmente alinhado com a animação.

Os cruzamentos e jogadas em profundidade em geral me irritam também, mas não dá pra dizer que não condiz com o futebol atual. É raro ver bons cruzamentos de linha de fundo com bola levantada, a maioria das jogadas são bolas rasteiras cruzadas ou com o ponta cortando pro meio.

As animações de "afasta o perigo" também me incomodam porque sempre parece que os defensores são burros porque a bola sempre volta imediatamente, seja pra tomar gol ou sair. Eu imagino que esses casos a animação seria tipo "afasta sob pressão", quando o defensor não tem tempo pra escolher...

Voltei a jogar Fm depois de 8 anos. A sensação que eu tenho é de um jogo mais amigável a novos jogadores, mas aos antigos ele segue dando indicios de você tem algo bem feito ou algo mais ou menos se deixar para a sua comissão. O que vocês me dizem sobre isso? É possível jogar bem o jogo deixando treinos e contratos para os profissionais do time?

Treinos eu deixo quase sem mexer desde que passou a ser mais pra controle de carga que pra evolução de atributos. Foco nos treinos individuais apenas por isso.

Os contratos, você pode deixar pro diretor se não tiver uma estratégia específica. O diretor às vezes vai sair martelando tudo, dando contrato de 2 ou 3 anos, cláusulas padrão, etc. Eu gosto de negociar principalmente contratos de jovens promessas pra colocar sempre prazos mais longos e cláusula de renovação pra não ter que refazer a cada 2 anos como os outros.

É possível, desde de que esses profissionais sejam bons. Especialmente os diretores, em relação a contratos e contratações, se tiverem bons atributos de negociação e contratação de jogadores.

Vocês experimentaram algum crash depois de instalarem o ultimo patch (26.1.3)?

Eu tive alguns, dias depois de baixar, mas sempre conseguia contornar voltando ao jogo e avançando normalmente. Agora meu jogo ficou preso numa data especifica e nao to conseguindo avançar data. Ja tentei verificar arquivo, tirar o mod de real fix name, tentar com save mais antigo, me demitir usando o editor pra avançar e depois me recolocar.. nada adiantou. 

Alguem no reddit me sugeriu de alguem pegar meu save e avançar pra mim. Se alguma alma caridosa quiser testar essa tese, agradeço haha.

Tentou o report na ferramenta deles? https://support.sega.com/hc/en-gb/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360003117678

 

Não havendo solução da parte deles, acho mais fácil reverter a versão. É chato no Steam mas pelo menos não te prende numa versão que causa mais problemas.

Já que é focado nos EUA, eles continuam dando importância só pra MLS? Ou a SI botou a USL também? Agora que confirmaram que vai ter rebaixamento e promoção, com outra 1ª divisão lá, fiquei até com essa dúvida...

Não faço ideia, na vdd as transferencias que geralmente são focadas só pra esses paises pq os campeonatos começam depois, mas dessa vez ainda bem abriram pra todos

[twitch.tvstayheavy87]

Ainda não testei o patch novo, mas no fórum da SI é 100% de reclamação com crash e jogo não iniciando, tudo por conta de arquivos externos na pasta Editor Data. É como se tivessem removido a compatibilidade com arquivos editados. Todos que estavam com problema relataram que ao deletar tudo dessa pasta, o jogo inicia.

Vou testar a noite.

Eu ainda não engatei nenhum save nessa versão, mas dessa pouquíssima experiência no jogo já me frustrei com esses bugs e interrupções abruptas, assim do nada. Aí é foda, a vontade já é pequena de tentar jogar e ainda com esse tanto de erro não dá não.

Tô quase desistindo e aceitando o FM24 de vez.

 

p.s: ainda não testei com esse patch de hoje (26.2) vale dizer.

[Masca]

Curioso isso de bug porque desde o penúltimo ou antepenúltimo patch que não tive mais problemas.

[Dan_Cunha]

Testei ontem e realmente, o jogo crashou 2x em 15 minutos. Como tinha plantão não consegui testar se é específico de um novo save ou vai afetar os antigos. 

Complicado, eu confesso que já estou sem esperanças para o 26. Eu já imaginava que seria uma versão complicada, por tudo que envolveu essa transição. Mas me impressiona o quando perderam a mão desta vez. A impressão que dá é que tudo que foi construído de aprendizado até o 24 se perdeu nesta transição. 

[twitch.tvstayheavy87]

Iniciei um save novo aqui, sem nada na pasta Editor Data (exceto os arquivos de correção de nomes) e foi normal. Parece que o BO é com updates de data/transferências, tanto que o mais famoso (do sortitoutsi) pausou as atualizações até o próximo patch (entre 20/03 a 20/04, segundo eles, que é quando deve sair outro patch oficial com mais transferências), ou ao menos até um hotfix.
