FM Bard - Comments

Also nervous about the UI changes. SI are more than capable of making a misstep here. I accept the logic to finding a more flexible UI and something that can work console/mobile and PC. As a PC player I want the detail, I don't want a watered down version. So long as the UI is flexible enough to make all parties happy then it will probably be a success.

Ideally, I would have wanted the flexibility to set up screens to my own personal workflow, I don't if we'll see that this time or ever for that matter. Also, is this the end of skinning? Because quite frankly I could point to half a dozen or more individuals that I'd trust to do a better job of that than SI in house. I don't want a vanilla game, a different skin can go some way to changing your in game experience. The game in it's current state doesn't do anywhere near enough to make you feel like you are at a different club, or managing in a different country, that has to change IMO. 

And I'm going to say it, whilst I appreciate the openness of the development update, it came over a little contrived in terms of getting the bad news out there, namely the omissions. And, a little clumsy in it's use of “hopefully” outdated screenshots, as opposed to the actual screenshots, which you'd hope are in place given the length of time in development, the proximity to release date.

I believe I have a complete version of the mega pack. This guy is on the website but absent from the file I think? https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager-2024/person/2000119329/marwan-ateya

Hey Sas, 

Not sure if I've spotted a bug. Has the matchday background changed in the training schedule? It's now quite difficult to spot the matches.

I've been away from the game for a couple of months, I may be imagining it…..

Yes, the door was also inactive. Just changed skin to get past it then switched back. Cheers

Played with the skin for 3 seasons on a beta, no issues. Started a new save with the latest version of the game and can't get past a single match. Anyone seen this screen or had this issue? The game is still running but the screen is locked (stuck) at the tooltip. The “Next” button or the “Exit” button should be active. Switched to Tato to test it and it works. I suspect once you are past this you're ok as I think its a one off screen. 

Hey @sasmaz Thanks for your work, ignore if you are too busy. Interested if there is a way to remove the CA/PA from player profiles? Cheers. 

Have been using mods forever but I have to confess I'm slightly confused with the file structure. What do we use? Cheers

👏👏👏

Thanks @Kinmar  have amended the config files and sorted. Cheers 👍

Question, the Man U logo has disappeared in game. Using the Flut Skin and I have the logo in the correct folder etc. Has something happened recently to prevent it being displayed? 

From the notes above - - "REALISTIC INJURIES" Injuries are already higher compared to FM21. After a proper evaluation I will decide if it's needed or not. Currently I wouldn't recommend it as player development is slower. A file would lower the progress and would causing issues longterm with too weak players (World updside down compared to FM21 xD)

Thanks for the reply. So, am I correct to think we can't combine FC and SS we just need to chose which to use along with the appropriate “kits” folder?

Cheers.

Hey @flut  Thanks for this.

I have set up the FC12 kits for titlebar/Overview and individually for the clubs. All without issue. I was going to add a few SS kits to replace a couple of leagues that are currently missing and followed your procedure for 2D kits adapted for FLUTSKIN. I now see my SS kit but there is some visibility of the old in game kit underneath. Am I missing something?

Thanks. 

FYI - Direct download hanging at 12MB with a “Failed - Server Problem” notification. 

It'd be useful if people could resist asking questions that are almost certainly being worked on. Likewise, posts like the “1.2?” ones are more than a little bit insensitive towards the effort being put in behind the scenes……

Thanks @rabcp  👍

@flut Massive thanks. I just don't play this game without your skin and know there's a lot of time and effort that goes in to releasing this and managing all the questions and queries that follow. You are much appreciated. 

Thanks @mons  It's the first time I've ever stopped to think about it…. 😂

I haven't started a save with FM22 yet but just looking around the game in Polish leagues it seems to include some faces that look more recent than the facepack. I guess there isn't a way of keeping more recent faces already in the game? Cheers

I'm hoping they do an update with more faces. They repeat quite frequently after a season.

I downloaded yesterday but hadn't installed. I just scanned the file with Bitdefender and it's clean for me.

I believe there are cases of false positives with Wacatac.B!ml

Apologies for asking this….if you're already at 13.15 are you up to date?

😂😂😂

I'm pretty sure we'll all be saying this is nothing more than UI changes when we get our hands on the game.

Deadline day won't improve if the SI don't sort out the AI.

It's just too easy to sign top players, quite often for nothing. Unless AI squad building and tactics improve its a waste of time. I'm constantly try not to pay too much attention to what's happening outside of my own team because so much of it is immersion killing.

Some people want jam on it…….this site adds so much to the game, the cost is beyond negligible and I don't accept the “on principle” argument at all. 

Thanks for so much hard work Flut. Really, really appreciated. 

If I could ask one more thing it would be that you change the name that appears on the paypal account so I can donate without having to explain what “Flut Skin” is…….. 😂

Details are in the download.

I was thinking the same, I looked a couple of hours ago then decided to wait……the download has now appeared in the last minute or so.
