Football Manager 2010 new features blog Day 14: Media day Part 1

Hello again, and welcome to another week of blogs about the forthcoming Football Manager 2010.

This week I'll be revealing lots of new stuff about the media section of the game.

Over the last decade, the media has become more and more important in football and the role of the manager. One quick look around Mirrorfootball.co.uk will show you that, with every single detail of a match and the manager looked into throughout the week.

Last year we introduced press conferences to game for the first time, and I'll be dealing with improvements and additions to that area in the coming days, as well as revealing all about the new news subscriptions, which are a bit like your own personal website feed of information from around the world.

For those who have played our previous games, you'll already know how deep we go into news and media in the game. This year there are loads of new additions to this area of the game to provide even more information to you as the manager, and today I'm going to reveal just a handful of these, with another handful coming later in the week. I don't want to give away everything, otherwise you'll have nothing new to discover when the game comes out on October 30th!

So what I've done is gone into our new features database, and picked out at random a few of the new media items that we're covering in FM2010.

One of my favourites - and I'm pretty glad this was part of the lucky dip of random picking - is that your team's supporters now comment on your team selection post match, telling you who they think has played well, or what aspect of the teams play they liked best. They'll also comment on players who weren't playing, and whether they could have done a better job, or a worse job, than those you've picked.

This is important as the fans of clubs have a massive role to play in these times of blogs - again, just look at Mirrorfootball.co.uk, who have fans of teams commenting directly through a national website about what is going on at their clubs.

We've made improvements to the 'end of loan' news items, so you get information back on how that player has done for the team he's been on loan at, saving you time of having to go into his profile and analysing his stay should you not wish to.

Our media team are big fans of alliteration and puns to add more character into the news reports, so should you thrash a team, we've improved and added new news items for big results, such as 'Seventh Heaven'� being a typical headline should you win by a huge margin scoring seven goals.

You now get a monthly board update, to keep you up to date with the profit and loss for the month, and other financial aspects of the club, and a regular physio summary too, telling you about who in the squad in injured or coming back from injury, including recommending possible games where the player should be fit enough to return.

Some of the more bland news items in the game, such as when a game has been dull, or when you qualify for the world cup, have also been improved.

Whilst we're talking about media, I spoke on Friday briefly about the return of the FM podcast which ended up going live much later on Friday than we hoped (just before midnight), so if you do want to give it a listen, it is now freely available on iTunes. Just search for the Football Manager podcast.

We've also seen lots more people following us on Twitter recently, so if you are on Twitter and want to follow us, you can follow the studio @SI_games, or follow me directly @milessi

See you all tomorrow! Cheers

Football Manager 2010 new features blog Day 15: Media day Part 2

Never has a new feature in one of our games polarised people more than when we introduced Press Conferences into last years Football Manager 2009 release.

The gaming equivalent of marmite, opinions ranged from "I love them!" to "they're so boring!"

Welcome to the world of press conferences.

Each year I travel round Europe doing press conferences for each new release. At each press conference, I do a demo of the game, and then get asked lots of questions by journalists. At each press conference, I get asked very similar things day in, day out.

Thus is the way of the press conference. If you go to football management press conferences, you see the same thing Mr.Wenger, Mr.Ferguson, Mr.Hughes et al get asked the same questions, week in, week out, about the same subjects, with the occasionally new one thrown in for new measures. You even see them getting exasperated by said questions each press conference too (whereas I actually really enjoy the ones that I do, but probably because it's only for a few weeks of the year!).

So whilst striving to be as realistic as possible, but also trying not to annoy either camp in the love it or hate it debate, we spent ages discussing what to do with what is a very important feature of the game.

First off, in FM09, you had the choice to send the assistant to the press conference and, for the haters out there, you can set this in the team settings to ask your assistant to do all press conferences for you. And with your backroom staff now having a media handling stat, it makes it more important for you to choose your assistant wisely if you aren't going to take on the media yourself.

For those who liked, or even loved, them, we have, of course, improved them massively for Football Manager 2010.

For a start, in FM09 each question effectively had the same answer set, with little variation, whereas in FM10, each question now has specific answers, which gives a lot more depth to the press conference module, and, well, makes more sense.

Players also have a media handling stat, so depending on their character, will get more, or less, unhappy when you talk about them or the team in a press conference, much like real life.

There are also loads more questions, with over 500 in the game now, with less repetition, and some which appear at specific times based on in game events and achievements, to make you feel even more special if, or when, you win a treble.

There's also a brand new type of press conference, which is a press conference for new signings. This deals with how they might impact your club, your squad, pressure on the player due to transfer fees, financial pressure due to the signing. Again, just like real life.

There'll be more on Football Manager 2010's media features tomorrow.

Cheers

Football Manager 2010 new features blog Day 15: Media day Part 2

Welcome to the world of press conferences.
Chào mừng đến với thế giới của các cuộc họp báo

Each year I travel round Europe doing press conferences for each new release. At each press conference, I do a demo of the game, and then get asked lots of questions by journalists. At each press conference, I get asked very similar things day in, day out.
Mỗi năm tôi đi khắp châu Âu tổ chức các cuộc họp báo cho các sự kiện mới. Tại các cuộc họp này, tôi giả lập một trận đấu và sau đó nhận được nhiều câu hỏi từ các phóng viên, tuy nhiên câu hỏi thường tương tự nhau hết tuần này sang tuần khác

Thus is the way of the press conference. If you go to football management press conferences, you see the same thing Mr.Wenger, Mr.Ferguson, Mr.Hughes et al get asked the same questions, week in, week out, about the same subjects, with the occasionally new one thrown in for new measures. You even see them getting exasperated by said questions each press conference too (whereas I actually really enjoy the ones that I do, but probably because it's only for a few weeks of the year!).
Đó là cách thức tổ chức các cuộc họp báo. Nếu bạn tham gia các cuộc họp báo về quản lý bóng đá, bạn sẽ thấy Giáo sư Wenger, Ngài Ferguson, ông Mark Huges và những người khác cũng sẽ nhận được các câu hỏi tương tự nhau hết tuần này sang tuần khác, chỉ thỉnh thoảng nhận thêm những câu hỏi mới nhằm đánh giá một vấn đề mới. Bạn thậm chí còn thấy họ nổi giận với những câu hỏi đã biết trước như vậy (Bản thân tôi thấy thích thú với các cuộc họp báo mà tôi tổ chức bởi trong 1 năm tôi chỉ tổ chức vài tuần họp báo như vậy)

So whilst striving to be as realistic as possible, but also trying not to annoy either camp in the love it or hate it debate, we spent ages discussing what to do with what is a very important feature of the game.
Do đó, trong khi cố gắng càng thực tế càng tốt, nhưng đồng thời cố tránh các cuộc tranh luận về "thích nó" và "ghét nó", chúng tôi đã dành rất nhiều thời gian thảo luận về việc nên làm gì với phần quan trọng này của game.

First off, in FM09, you had the choice to send the assistant to the press conference and, for the haters out there, you can set this in the team settings to ask your assistant to do all press conferences for you. And with your backroom staff now having a media handling stat, it makes it more important for you to choose your assistant wisely if you aren't going to take on the media yourself.
Trong FM09, bạn có thể chọn trợ lý của bạn tham gia họp báo, và đói với những người không thích các cuộc họp báo, bạn có thể thiết lập trong phần thiết lập đội yêu cầu trợ lý tham gia tất cả các cuộc họp báo thay bạn. Và với việc bây giờ các trợ lý của bạn có thêm chỉ số về làm việc với phương tiện truyền thông, bạn cần lựa chọn trợ lý một cách khôn ngoan khi cử họ thay mình trả lời các cuộc họp báo

For those who liked, or even loved, them, we have, of course, improved them massively for Football Manager 2010.
Đối với những ai thích và yêu các cuộc họp báo, dĩ nhiên chúng tôi đã cải tiến đáng kể các cuộc họp báo trong FM10

For a start, in FM09 each question effectively had the same answer set, with little variation, whereas in FM10, each question now has specific answers, which gives a lot more depth to the press conference module, and, well, makes more sense.
Khi khởi đầu, trong FM09 mỗi câu hỏi thường có chung một bộ câu trả lời (có thay đổi chút ít), trong khi đó với FM10, mỗi câu hỏi sẽ có 1 câu trả lời cụ thể giúp thông tin trong cuộc họp báo có thêm chiều sâu và mang lại nhiều ý nghĩa hơn

Players also have a media handling stat, so depending on their character, will get more, or less, unhappy when you talk about them or the team in a press conference, much like real life.
Các cầu thủ cũng có chí số về làm việc với phương tiện truyền thông, do đó tuỳ theo tính cách của mỗi cầu thủ, sẽ cảm thấy hạnh phúc hơn hoặc thấy khó chịu hơn khi bạn nói về họ hoặc về đội bóng trong cuộc họp báo, gần giống như trong đời thực

There are also loads more questions, with over 500 in the game now, with less repetition, and some which appear at specific times based on in game events and achievements, to make you feel even more special if, or when, you win a treble.
Bên cạnh đó, sẽ có nhiều câu hỏi hơn, hiện tại trong game khoảng 500 câu hỏi, ít lặp lại nội dung hơn, và một số câu hỏi sẽ tập trung vào các sự kiện trong game và các thành quả bạn đạt được để giúp bạn thấy mình đặc biệt hơn (ví dụ khi bạn đoạt cú ăn ba)

There's also a brand new type of press conference, which is a press conference for new signings. This deals with how they might impact your club, your squad, pressure on the player due to transfer fees, financial pressure due to the signing. Again, just like real life.
Ngoài ra, sẽ có một dạng họp báo hoàn toàn mới - họp báo ký hợp đồng với cầu thủ mới. Cuộc họp báo này sẽ nói về việc cầu thủ mới tác động thế nào đền CLB, đội hình hiện tại, áp lực từ phí chuyển nhượng lên cầu thủ đó, các áp lực tài chính sau vụ chuyển nhượng... để giống với đời thực hơn

There'll be more on Football Manager 2010's media features tomorrow.
Sẽ có thêm thông tin về truyền thông trong FM2010 vào ngày mai

Football Manager 2010 new features blog Day 16: Media day Part 3

We're now on day 3 of our 4 day look at the new media aspects of Football Manager 2010.

On Monday we spoke about a few of the new news items in the game, yesterday was press conference day, tomorrow I'll be talking about the new news subscriptions and news center, which leaves today, which is going to be much like Monday.

Which must mean revealing more of the new news items in the game, picked at random from the batch, and still leaving some more things for you to discover when the game is released.

At the end of each football season, many footballers find themselves out of work and freed from their clubs. To make it easier for you as a manager, you now get a news item to tell you when this has happened, inform you about the high profile players who have been released, and a simple link to a list of all of them for you to scour through and see if you can find yourself a bargain.

Oh, and if that footballer freed is one that you sold to a club and have a sell on clause for, you'll now be informed that you will no longer get a sell on, and the player can't be sold.

In our previous releases, it's possible for a player to not turn up for training for a variety of different reasons, and you've always been told when this has happened. But what didn't happen was a record being kept of how many times the player had missed training previously, so we've now added this to the news item so you can tell if it's a one off, or if you're dealing with a very naughty boy.

Club debt is something that's become a lot more known about in recent years, and has been prevalent in the Football Manager series for many years too. Many of the loans your club have are structured in ways whereby the club might not have to pay the money back for many years, and to make sure you are kept in the loop, the manager is now informed when a loan is started to be paid back.

Another little addition to the press conferences discussed yesterday is we've revamped the code used to decide which media sources will turn up at the press conferences, and local region media sources might not show up at the conference, rather than just media based nationally or in your clubs own city.

Should 2 players end up with an equal top scoring goals tally at the end of the season, you'll now be told why one player got the award over the other (and no, it's not alphabetical)

And finally for today, if you're lucky enough to win 4 trophies in one season, the quadruple news item is now much improved. I'm not going to say how though - it's something you'll need to find out for yourself.

Cheers

Football Manager 2010 new features blog Day 16: Media day Part 3

We're now on day 3 of our 4 day look at the new media aspects of Football Manager 2010.
Chúng ta đang ở ngày thứ 3 trong tổng số 4 ngày nói về khía cạnh truyền thông của FM2010

On Monday we spoke about a few of the new news items in the game, yesterday was press conference day, tomorrow I'll be talking about the new news subscriptions and news center, which leaves today, which is going to be much like Monday.
Hôm thứ 2, chúng ta đã nói về một số phần mới trong mục tin tức của game, hôm qua nói về các cuộc họp báo, ngày mai tôi sẽ nói về những phần mô tả mới về tin tức và trung tâm tin tức, do đó hôm nay tôi sẽ nói một số thứ gần tương tự như thông tin của hôm thứ 2.

Which must mean revealing more of the new news items in the game, picked at random from the batch, and still leaving some more things for you to discover when the game is released.
Điều này có nghĩa là sẽ tiết lộ thêm một số thứ mới liên quan đến phần tin tức trong game được lựa chọn ngẫu nhiên và vẫn để lại một số thứ để bạn tự khám phá khi game ra lò

At the end of each football season, many footballers find themselves out of work and freed from their clubs. To make it easier for you as a manager, you now get a news item to tell you when this has happened, inform you about the high profile players who have been released, and a simple link to a list of all of them for you to scour through and see if you can find yourself a bargain.
Cuối mỗi mùa bóng, nhiều cầu thủ bị thất nghiệp và được giải phóng khỏi CLB trước đó. Để giúp bạn dễ dàng hơn trong cương vị người quản lý đội bóng, bạn giờ đây có thêm một mục tin tức bạn chọ bạn biết khi điều này xảy ra, báo cho bạn biết về những cầu thủ hay vừa được giải phóng và một đường link đơn giản đưa bạn đến với danh sách các cầu thủ dạng này và xem xem mình có thể "tóm" được cầu thủ nào ưng ý không

Oh, and if that footballer freed is one that you sold to a club and have a sell on clause for, you'll now be informed that you will no longer get a sell on, and the player can't be sold.
Ồ, và nếu cầu thủ mà bạn giải phóng đã được bán cho CLB khác và có điều khoản khi bán, bạn sẽ được thông báo không bao giờ nhận được khoản tiến bán nữa và cầu thủ đó không thể bị chuyển nhượng

In our previous releases, it's possible for a player to not turn up for training for a variety of different reasons, and you've always been told when this has happened. But what didn't happen was a record being kept of how many times the player had missed training previously, so we've now added this to the news item so you can tell if it's a one off, or if you're dealing with a very naughty boy.
Trong các phần thông báo trước, cầu thủ hoàn toàn có thể bỏ tập với nhiều lý do, và bạn sẽ được báo về việc này, tuy nhiên phần lưu trữ không thể hiện cầu thủ này đã nghỉ tập bao nhiêu lần. Đây là điểm mới mà chúng tôi đưa ra giúp bạn đánh giá đây là cầu thủ chỉ phạm luật 1 lần và duy nhất hay là dạng cầu thủ hay phá bĩnh

Club debt is something that's become a lot more known about in recent years, and has been prevalent in the Football Manager series for many years too. Many of the loans your club have are structured in ways whereby the club might not have to pay the money back for many years, and to make sure you are kept in the loop, the manager is now informed when a loan is started to be paid back.
Khoản nợ của CLB là một vấn đề mà ngày càng được tiết lộ nhiều hơn trong những năm gần đây và cũng đã xuất hiện trong FM những năm vừa rồi. Nhiều khảon vay của CLB được thiết kế theo nhiều cách theo đó CLB có thể không phải trả khoản này trong nhiều năm. Do đó, để giúp bạn kiểm soát vấn đề này, bạn sẽ được thông báo khi nào bắt đầu trả khoản vay đó

Another little addition to the press conferences discussed yesterday is we've revamped the code used to decide which media sources will turn up at the press conferences, and local region media sources might not show up at the conference, rather than just media based nationally or in your clubs own city.
Một phần nhỏ được thêm vào trong phần họp báo đã nêu ngày hôm qua đó là chúng tôi đã sửa lại code quyết định các nguồn truyền thông tham gia họp báo, trong đó các nguồn truyền thông của vùng sẽ có thể không tham gia họp báo, còn lại là đội truyền thông của quốc gia hoặc của thành phố mà đội bán của bạn đang "đóng đô"

Should 2 players end up with an equal top scoring goals tally at the end of the season, you'll now be told why one player got the award over the other (and no, it's not alphabetical)
Trong trường hợp 2 cầu thủ đều có số bàn thắng cao như nhau (vua phá lưới) bạn sẽ nhận được báo cáo tại sao lại chọn cầu thủ A mà không chọn cầu thủ B (không theo thứ tự ABC)

And finally for today, if you're lucky enough to win 4 trophies in one season, the quadruple news item is now much improved. I'm not going to say how though - it's something you'll need to find out for yourself.
Và nếu bạn đoạt cú ăn 4, sẽ có phần tin riêng cho bạn và bạn tự tìm hiểu đi nhé!!!

Football Manager 2010 new features blog Day 17: Media day Part 4

We've reached the day 4 of 4 for blogs about the new media features in Football Manager 2010 before moving into other areas of the game, and it's now time to properly introduce news subscriptions.

I've spoken a few times in these blogs about how we've spent even more time then normal talking to the people who play our games over the last year and we've definitely come to realise we can't please all people all of the time.

One of the areas where people were split was the amount of news about the football world around you in the game.

Some people would tell us how they only cared about their club, and didn't care who won the league if it wasn't them, whereas others wanted to know who every single bit of information from around the world, including which Blue Square South player had missed training that week.

Rather than spending time debating how we fit a square peg into a round hole, a cunning plan was hatched by Sports Interactive's media corner on giving the person playing the game full control of what news they do, or don't, receive.

That plan became the news centre which is based on a simple subscription system that allows you to get information on any "object" in the game. "Objects" include any player, any staff member, any club, any nation or any competition. This news screen is in addition to your usual inbox where you will continue to see all the important messages and tasks to do with the day-to-day running of your club.

You can subscribe to news on an "object" by going to its screen and clicking on its subscription icon, and then whenever there is anything newsworthy from that object it will appear on your news screen. For those who like an extra bit of attention to detail, you can use the Manage Subscriptions panel to specifically choose what categories of news you receive on any subscribed objects. There are a whole load of news categories ranging from Awards to Records.

When you have news, a newspaper icon makes you aware of this, and you also get taken to the news centre a couple of times a week, as long as you have some unread news in there.

When you first start the game you are automatically subscribed to a few areas of news, such as the nation of your nationality and second nationality, your favourite club, your clubs nation, your clubs affiliate teams, your clubs division, some top international tournaments, the main cup competition in the nation you are managing in, and the top continental tournament but, of course, you can go into your Manage Subscription section and delete these if you so desire. You are also subscribed to news on any player that you shortlist too.

With the other 3 blogs in the last few days, that's all we're going to reveal about the media in FM2010 - the rest will be up to you to discover when the game is released at the end of October.

See you all tomorrow for another FM2010 new features blog.

Cheers
Miles

Football Manager 2010 new features blog Day 17: Media day Part 4

We've reached the day 4 of 4 for blogs about the new media features in Football Manager 2010 before moving into other areas of the game, and it's now time to properly introduce news subscriptions.
Chúng ta đã bước sang ngày thứ 4 - ngày cuối cùng - nói về các đặc điểm mới về phương tiện truyền thông trong FM2010 trước khi chuyển sang các phần khác của game, và đây là thời điểm thích hợp giới thiệu các phần mô tả mới

I've spoken a few times in these blogs about how we've spent even more time then normal talking to the people who play our games over the last year and we've definitely come to realise we can't please all people all of the time.
Tôi đã nói nhiều lần trong blog này rằng chúng tôi đã dành nhiều thời gian hơn thường lệ nói chuyện với những người chơi các game của chúng tôi trong năm vừa rồi và chúng tôi nhận thức một cách rõ ràng rằng chúng tôi không thể chiều lòng tất cả những ý muốn của tất cả mọi người

One of the areas where people were split was the amount of news about the football world around you in the game.
Một trong những phần mà mọi người hay bị phân tán chính là khối lượng tin tức về thế giới bóng đá xung quanh bạn trong game

Some people would tell us how they only cared about their club, and didn't care who won the league if it wasn't them, whereas others wanted to know who every single bit of information from around the world, including which Blue Square South player had missed training that week.
Một số người nói với chúng tôi về cách họ chỉ quan tâm tới CLB của họ, và không quan tâm đến đội vô địch nếu đội đó không phải là đội của họ; trong khi đó nhiều người khác muốn biết từng mẫu tin một về thế giới xung quanh họ, ví dụ như mẫu tin về cầu thủ của Blue Square South nghỉ tập trong tuần đó

Rather than spending time debating how we fit a square peg into a round hole, a cunning plan was hatched by Sports Interactive's media corner on giving the person playing the game full control of what news they do, or don't, receive.
Nhằm tránh dành quá nhiều thời gian tranh luận xem làm thế nào đưa một khối vuông vào một lỗ tròn, một kế hoạch mới được nhóm cán bộ về truyền thông của Sports Interactive ấp ủ cho phép người chơi có toàn quyền kiểm soát phần thông tin họ muốn và không muốn nhận được

That plan became the news centre which is based on a simple subscription system that allows you to get information on any "object" in the game. "Objects" include any player, any staff member, any club, any nation or any competition. This news screen is in addition to your usual inbox where you will continue to see all the important messages and tasks to do with the day-to-day running of your club.
Kế hoạch đó đã được chuyển hoá thành trung tâm tin tức dựa trên một hệ thống mô tả khá đơn giản cho phép bạn thu nhận thông tin về bất cứ "chủ thể" nào xảy ra trong game. "Các chủ thể" ở đây bao gồm bất kỳ ai từ cầu thủ, nhân viên CLB, CLB, quốc gia hay các cuộc tranh tài. Màn hình tin tức là phần thêm vào trong hộp thư đến (Inbox) của bạn nơi bạn có thể tiếp tục đọc các tin tức quan trọng và các nhiệm vụ phải làm trong ngày trong khi quản lý CLB của mình

You can subscribe to news on an "object" by going to its screen and clicking on its subscription icon, and then whenever there is anything newsworthy from that object it will appear on your news screen. For those who like an extra bit of attention to detail, you can use the Manage Subscriptions panel to specifically choose what categories of news you receive on any subscribed objects. There are a whole load of news categories ranging from Awards to Records.
Bạn có thể đăng ký nhận tin tức về một "chủ thể" bằng cách vào màn hình của chủ thể đó và click vào biểu tượng đăng ký, và sau đó, bất cứ lúc nào có tin tức đáng giá nào về chủ thể đó, tin tức mới sẽ xuất hiện trong Inbox của bạn. Đối với những người thích có thông tin chi tiết, bạn có thể sử dụng bảng Quản lý các đăng ký để chi tiết hoá các lựa chọn của bạn về các chủng loại tin tức mà bạn nhận được từ chủ thể. Có nhiều chủng loại cho bạn lựa chọn từ Phần thưởng đến Các kỷ lục

When you have news, a newspaper icon makes you aware of this, and you also get taken to the news centre a couple of times a week, as long as you have some unread news in there.
Khi bạn có tin tức mới, một biểu tượng tờ báo sẽ xuất hiện giúp bạn biết mình có tin mới, và thường là trong tuần bạn sẽ dành khoảng 1-2 lần ghé qua trung tâm tin tức nếu như có các tin mà bạn chưa đọc trước đó

When you first start the game you are automatically subscribed to a few areas of news, such as the nation of your nationality and second nationality, your favourite club, your clubs nation, your clubs affiliate teams, your clubs division, some top international tournaments, the main cup competition in the nation you are managing in, and the top continental tournament but, of course, you can go into your Manage Subscription section and delete these if you so desire. You are also subscribed to news on any player that you shortlist too.
Khi bạn bắt đầu game, bạn sẽ được tự động đăng ký với một số mảng tin tức, ví dụ như quốc gia theo quốc tịch của bạn, quốc gia của quốc tịch thứ hai, CLB bạn ưa thich, quốc gia của CLB của bạn, các CLB liên kết với CLB của bạn, hạng của giải mà CLB của bạn đang thi đấu, các giải thi đấu quốc tế hàng đầu, thi đấu cup tại quốc gia bạn đang quản lý CLB, và các giải thi đấu hàng đầu của châu lục, tuy nhiên bạn có thể vào phần Quản lý các đăng ký và xoá các lựa chọn mà bạn không quan tâm nếu bạn muốn. Bạn cũng được đăng ký tin liên quan đến các cầu thủ bạn đưa vào shortlist

With the other 3 blogs in the last few days, that's all we're going to reveal about the media in FM2010 - the rest will be up to you to discover when the game is released at the end of October.
Với 3 blog trong 3 ngày trước đó, chúng tôi đã giới thiệu những nét chính trong phần truyền thông của FM2010 - phần còn lại bạn sẽ tự tìm hiểu khi game được ra lò vào cuối tháng 10 này

Football Manager 2010 new features blog Day 18: Improved player transfers and contract negotiations

Hello everyone, and welcome to the last Football Manager 2010 blog of the week.

Although for us at Sports Interactive, one week is pretty much merging into another at the moment as we’re in the last few weeks of developing the game now.

A few of us are looking more like zombies than humans at the moment after some very late nights and early starts, and not for the fun partying reasons.

Despite us having been making games for a long time and going through the same process year on year, I still forget quite how tiring and all consuming it becomes, but it’ll be worth it once the game is out there and we get to see lots of smiling faces playing the game.

Today’s blog is going to deal with transfers and contracts, which is a massive and very important part of the game.

Despite our previous games being famed in some press quarters for being able to predict transfers that have gone on to happen, and for having the best transfer engine out there, it was also one of the areas of the game with the most bugs reported.

It’s very difficult balancing transfers for the 50 playable leagues in the game, let alone the moves to and from clubs that are inactive, with different transfer rules in each country too, so it’s not that surprising that a few anomalies were found over the years.

So we decided that this would be a year of fixing and balancing in the transfer area, with hundreds of reported issues gone through and fixed.

What you’ll therefore see in FM2010 is the most balanced and realistic transfer system from any of our games, with better negotiation from clubs and even more moves that you could (and potentially will!) see happen in real life.

I’m not going to sit here and type that it’s perfect, because nothing ever is, but it’s certainly the best it’s ever been, and the best seen in a football management game.

We have, however, also found some time for a few new features along the way to make it easier for the manager, lifelike, and flexible.

A really nice new addition to the transfers and contracts area of the game is that you can now buy transfer clauses out. For example, if you’ve signed a player with a clause whereby you will pay his former club £500k when he makes 50 appearances for the club, you can now try and buy that clause for a cheaper price at an earlier point.

So let’s say you’ve got a bit of money lying around, and know that his former club are skint, you could offer to buy the clause back and they might agree to sell it to you for a £100k less just to get the money there and then.

A really nice new addition to the transfers and contracts area of the game is that you now have the opportunity to buy or sell some clauses that have been negotiated on a previous transfer.

So for example if you’ve sold a player with a clause whereby you will get £500k when he makes 50 appearances for his new club you may want to sell this clause for £250k taking the 'bird in the hand' philosophy that less money now is worth more to you.

These clause fee but outs are negotiated between your board and corresponding board of the club you have the clause agreement with. When deciding on a price for a clause they will take into account factors such as the financial states of the clubs, player injury proneness, the likelihood of the player featuring in many games, player value, player contract length etc.

One change we’ve noticed in football over the last few years in the increased poaching of young talent, which has been in the news quite a lot recently. We always stay well within the rules of football with our games, and for many years you have been able to sign young players from other clubs with tribunal agreed compensation.

However, the big clubs in the game were always more interested in signing players for then and there, rather than looking to the future, and great prospects will now find many clubs interested in them at a much earlier age, with clubs looking to improve their youth teams a lot more than in previous versions of the game.

With the credit crunch going on around the world at the moment, our football spies tell us that payment of deals are now being spread across longer periods of time, so as well as cash upfront deals and the previously available options to spread payment over 2 years, we’ve increased this now so that you can spread payment over up to 48 months now if you so desire.

There are improvements to loan possibilities too, with you being able to offer multiple players out for loan at one time, clubs indicating to you what kind of deal they require when enquiring about a player for loan, and if you do offer a player out for loan, there’s an option for him to be automatically loan listed by doing so.

If you get lots of clubs bidding for one of your players at the same time, you can also now negotiate one of them, and then use that negotiated offer for the others, rather than having to individually change the clauses in each one.

Oh, and if you’re offering players out to clubs, you now have an option to exclude foreign clubs, which means that if that player only has a few months left to go on his contract, you won’t be alerting all the clubs who can sign him on a Bosman deal to his availability.

So there are some of the new features in transfers and contracts for FM2010. You’ll find a lot more improvements too, but we can’t give everything away in one go…

If you’re lucky enough to get one, have a great weekend!
