So... is that everything? Just additions to MyClub?

[Dec]

It is the only thing announced, this list isn't final by all means. Miles just mentioned it as he was answering a question on MyClub potentially being on FM2016 and he said there are changes to the mode on FMH this year.

[tiancaesar]

what is the new features?

[Dec]

If it isn't on the list then we don't know.

[JamesCR7]

It really sucks how they dont give us more info

[Ashez]

It makes it more exciting and it gives us a chance to speculate.

[vcadu92]

It is so difficult to wait! Hope there will be nice features

[rodrigo22xT]

And Argentina league brings?

[vcadu92]

And Argentina league brings?

 

We won't know until the game is released

[Lee-Roy]

I will add here, as I only just found out myself and I know some people don't read the featured page - Marc has confirmed they're working on new features! Well, his words were "a fair few nice surprises" so that sounds promising to me

[Ashez]

They said that last year and we got the brilliant "Myclub" feature

 

If the new features are just Myclub upgrades I'll be gutted, FMH prides it's self on being a somewhat realistic management game yet their last big feature was creating made up players, erm logical

 

Tbh all I want is at least two new good leagues, I've spent hours this year looking at the select league screen thinking "this is getting old now, I've already done everything worth while etc".

[Lee-Roy]

I can't see what else they can add to it, apart from allowing us to give created players secondary positions rather than them being generated oddly.

[Ashez]

Discussing that would be a waste of an article

[anfieldsquirrel]

As much as you don't like it Ash, on the SI forums there used to be a lot of requests for something like myclub so it's no surprise they added it. Also there's no chance they'd get rid of it a year on

[Lee-Roy]

Tbh I have no idea what goes on over there, I suppose I've neglected their forum during my 2.5 year tenure over here. I went over there last time, saw Peely and Grave and thought to myself I get enough of them here

[anfieldsquirrel]

I don't go on it, not for the last 2 years anyway but I remember seeing something about it here and someone said they asked for it and many others did too

[Dios8]

I've been told it's November 7th for the release date.

[Dec]

That is on FM PC, not Handheld. Please tell whoever told you this too.

We are omni-present. It's something that comes with great age and experience. No matter where you go, there we are

 

I sincerely hope there will be at least one new, decent league added. If it ends up being something like the New Zealand National Soccer League I may well cry (no offence to any New Zealanders  )

[corey]

I think the MLS would be a good addition. If they're trying to keep up with PC maybe start with international sides? Instead of an unlockable? I like the layout personally - no changes to that. Maybe the unrealistic bizarre transfer fees players want.

[Lee-Roy]

It's wages and signing on fees that the players want

[vcadu92]

Do you think the price will remain the same ?

[Nath]

I would imagine the price will stay the same.

 

A couple new leagues would be brilliant but we'll have to see!

[corey]

They say never believe Wikipedia, but apparently according to WIKI FMH and FM PC are both out on the 7th November, I guess this is fake?

[Dec]

I swear I edited Wiki to give correct information.

Edit: Refixed.

Update:

No "Network Game" mode in FMH due to devices not being powerful enough - Source: Miles Jacobson (via Twitter)

[anfieldsquirrel]

Hmm that's a bit strange. There's plenty of games on iPhone and Android that have network games and online servers.

[UKFootballScore]

That would be awesome! But understandable why it wouldn't be doable

[Alari]

As well as Miles's comment re device capabilities, the feature on PSP that offered network play (and that loads of people requested) took an inordinate amount of development and maintenance time and was hardly used.
