And all they do is ruin a good market, change the spaces between tabs at bottom of screen, and make trhe out of position warning sign more dark..... They did make that change teams system and all but what is needed more is not being done!!! We asked them to lend us a couple of their 120+ devs for 1-2 hours to ask questions and tell us what we really want so that it can benefit us and them both... But they can't even do that!!!!
That is pathetic customer service from Nordeus, they are like dropping the axe on their own feet.... They will feel the pain soon!!!
the problem with the basic animation of say, a 2D board with dots moving up and down the field (which was what football manager did in 2001?), is that it would expose their lack of a proper game engine. Right now it is most likely they have a matrix of results that it chooses from based on the numbers from the players and tactics/formations (which explains the lockdown 3-4 mins before the game AND the troll results that occur frequently).

All this to say, that they probably dont have the game engine at the point where they can do this. Right now, they have a cash cow and there are tons of idiots out there that just spend foolishly without taking nordeus to task to improve the game.

2 years and no serious improvements. KUDOS NORDEUS! great job by your Microsoft guy, showing his great leadership skills! when comparing this game to other football manager games, this is equivalent of 10-pin bowling with a Styrofoam ball.
