Hello Miles. Let me start off with saying that it seems you guys have done a truly terrific job for the newest FM, I don’t think there has been so much interest in the game since FM 2005.

So finally, what the fans have been the most excited and worried about, the 3D view has come to Football Manager. Is what you achieved exactly what you were planning from the start with that aspect of the game? Is the players’ animation going to flow nicely and there won’t be the basic 3D errors such as players walking through one another?

The 3d view has been a long time coming. We’ve had a couple of aborted attempts over the last few years, and started on this iteration of it about 10 months ago.

What we wanted to achieve is a 3d view of the FM match engine, and that is what’s there. Animation wise, what was shown in the videos released was less than 50% of the total animations we want in there, and each day it’s getting better and better, so we’re pretty happy with it going into the final phase of development. The core work underneath that is mainly done, with bug fixes now being the priority.

We are wondering how the 3D view is connected with the way players look in the game. Are we going to be able to see a difference between Crouch and Messi, between white and black players? If yes, are these attributes going to change over time eg. youngsters growing bigger over time, an experienced player losing hair and such?

Skin tone, hair colour, height and weight are all taken into account.

Is the 3D view going to decrease the speed of the game and increase the PC requirements?

It doesn’t decrease the speed of the game, no. It will increase the PC requirements. The idea is that if your machine can’t handle 3d, it will default to 2d, but the minimum specs would rise this year with or without 3d, due to the other new features. This, however, is no different to any other year.

Are you planning to expand on the 3D view in future with the audience, video cameras, photographers, stewards, fans chanting and such?

As with all features in our games, we will expand on them in future versions of the game if we think it’s needed.

One of the already announced changes, the one you forgot to mention in the movie, was the newgens. Could you elaborate a bit on what you’ve changed in this aspect of the game?

The improvements have been made to the player progression module, give more realistic player development, more variation in the player’s learning curve. Wonderkids start off as better players making sure clubs realise what they are worth. Also more effect to the attribute development, based on the training schedules which we set.

Are the fans going to be able to edit more of the graphics in FM 2009, such as the grass or the ads surrounding the pitch?

The ads will not be skinnable at all. We’re not sure about the grass yet - we’d like that to be possible, but don’t know if it’ll be this year.

You’ve talked about how much you improved the role of the assistant manager. Aren’t you afraid that the game might get just too easy?

No - you can easily ignore him!

The relationships with press - are they going to be created just with one journalist or are they simply going to apply to the newspaper he represents?

Potentially both…

In the movie you mentioned that we should be careful with what we say to the journalists, otherwise it might “haunt us” later on in the future. Could you present us a hypothetical story in which one of our responses “haunts us”?

Let’s say I will be playing attacking football, and I draw my first few games 0-0. Don’t expect that to go unnoticed…

Of course we are curious about the possibility to add our own comments during the press conferences - what exactly is it for and is the game somehow able to translate some sentences into its own language? What do we have to say for game to uderstand and react?

It’s mainly to be able to keep a record of what you are saying - the press conferences have histories, so you can use them as notes. Some things are picked up on, but it’s pretty limited deliberately, as we want to see how people use them before expanding, if we decide to do so, in the future.

What exactly are the transfer speculations going to have effect on? Are the players going to fell it somehow (flattered or whatever) or is it more about us, managers? Mind games?

It can have the same effect transfer rumours have in real life, and any other media story inside the game.

Is asking a player to learn some preffered moves going to increase his attributes in specific areas as well?

PPM’s are not attribute specific.

Being a woman - is it going to have some greater effects on us during the game or is it just a small change for the female community playing FM?

It’s a change for the female community playing FM, and a reflection of the amount of females now involved in the modern game, mainly at board room and physio level. We expect that trend to continue.

Thanks a lot for the interview, I hope we did not take too much of your precious time in this busy period.

No problem! Thanks for taking the time to ask the questions

skinuo sam manager!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
