SourceHere is an update on what's been happening over the past few weeks.
Season stats return to the player info 19-05-06
After taking a year out, season stats have returned bigger and better than before to the player info section for every player.
National Team 19-05-2006
Work has begun on this area of the game. As a start improvements have been carried out on contracts that expire after a competition. It is now possible for these to be extended.
Small improvements in the 3D area 20-05-06
Although small, these cosmetic changes will be appreciated by those who play in Create a Club mode:
Badges are now also displayed on the generic shirts of other teams.
On the shirt screen it is now possible to select the colour of the shirt name and number, along with the position of the name (top, bottom, no name).
Player images in FIFA Manager 07 20-05-06
You will like to know that we have recruited an expert who will increase the quality and number of player images in FIFA Manager 07.
New printing functions 22-05-2006
We have extended the printing functions within the game. As well as printing out new stats you can now also print out the player list for example.
More options will be added tomorrow after we take a closer look at the transfer market.
Large lists are now printed in landscape format.
Printing functions and more... 23-05-06
Today we finished work on the new printing functions. There are more than 10 additional areas in the game from where it's now possible to print lists.
We are also making great progress on the transfer market. The new negotiation system is fully implemented and many functions from last year that caused problems have been fixed. For example, today we solved the problem of not being able to offer five year contracts during the second half of the season.
Stats finished 23-05-2006
Today we completed the massive job of overhauling the game stats.
Not only have we re-activated every stat that featured in FIFA Manager 2002-2006, the programmers have also worked hard to add large amounts of new stats. There is now a really long list of stats full of useful information for managers to browse through.
The database team have used the list to give FIFA Manager 07 a lot of new historical data.
We will release a full list of all stats prior to the games release.
This and that 25-05-2006
At the moment all programmers are working on new features that must remain secret for now. But here are some odds and ends we can tell you:
For the National Team it's again possible to define the type of camp (city, country, barracked). We have also re-introduced the list of retired players who you might like to convince to return to the team.
In the transfer market we have finished work on swap deals which have received some nice improvements.
At the request of the German forum users, right clicking a player will lead directly to their player info without entering the context menu.
We have also made some improvements to the EA-Mails which will hopefully be popular.
Transfer market is making progress 26-05-2006
We have made systematic improvements to the transfer market over the last couple of days and we will keep on improving it in the coming weeks.
Players on the transfer list now receive more offers than previously, while it is now easier for lower league clubs to loan players from higher league clubs without being rejected
We have also improved the selection of player bought by AI-clubs. They no longer buy just the best candidates. Instead they will apply some strategy when picking players which leads to some really interesting transfers.
New Features 29-05-2006
The programmers worked hard over the weekend so that we could provide some news on their progress at the start of the week. The first new cup draws have been finished (EC and WC) and we're now moving onto the draws in the UEFA Cup group stage.
In addition to that the programmers are also working on the new top secret features. There is still plenty of time left until release. :
Reports from the National Team 30-05-2006
In time for the WC we are further extending the National Team mode. We are almost finished with Performance Reports on the national team players.
When they return from an international match the club manager receives an overview of results, ratings and playing time of each player.
Transfer Market 30-05-2006
Today we started working on optimising the transfer lists. Hundreds of transfers were analysed which will now be optimised.
The emphasis will be on improving transfers between leagues and player loans.
2D-graphics are close to finish 31-05-2006
Around 80% of all new screens in FIFA Manager 07 are now implemented and look better than ever!
We are now working on the new Line-up screens.
Purchase option in Loan Contracts 02-06-2006
It is now possible to negotiate purchase options with the loaning club.
This and that 07-06-2006
We have made great progress over the past few days with many exciting new features.
The integration of the shirts has been completed, and the display of the 3D player heads in the menus has been improved considerably. They look great!
New buildings have been added to the Club Grounds, e.g. there is now a Club Museum.
National Team and More 13-06-2006
It is now possible to view the present contract of the National Team Manager in the career screen at any time.
In addition to that, the staff area for the National Team Manager has returned. Meanwhile, we have finished work on the transfer market. We've improved it extensively.
In the Club Facilities section it is now possible to set up hot dog and ice-cream stands.
All other features that the programmers have been working on must remain a secret for now.
3D-Game and more 13-06-2006
The radar has been introduced back into the 3D game.
