Now we want them to add a player communication module to mimic FM? Not a small task and would have to be the marquee feature, I would think. To do it "not half way" would require max effort\coding time and, being new it would still not be right. They will get destroyed in the complaint forum here, at Steam, and everywhere else. I don't like it but that is the way it is.
The point is so many hold up FM as the be-all end-all, and look at how well it all works. When in fact if you go their boards so many long time players simply do not believe it at all. In fact there are many complaints about said player communication on the SI boards. Many will comment they delegate it to their staff because of x,y, or z. Like OOTP they tolerate and work with what the game gives them, talk about what they hope the future holds, and of course comment on how they'll never play the game again until feature x is added or fixed  It's really not much different than OOTP other than being on a larger scale. |
I've never played FM, so I haven't a clue, but how fast does all the player communication stuff become repetitive Is it really communication, or is it a set multiple choice game of one having a list of 5 or 6 things one can say, with the player having 5 or 6 ways to respond?
