[QUOTE=RKO_HBK;406849]Don't complain lol, mine start 3 days AFTER it comes out....I guess I'm going to be failing my A Levels eh? :p[/QUOTE] Being a huge football fan, doing my A levels during Euro 2004 was good fun, my focus was totally on the football. :o Going back on topic, the force push feature could be pretty useful for the situations that have been suggested already!

God I was so pissed off that I missed this game. That being said, while I'm not sure how to finance this game in June, all the stuff sounds too good to just not buy it. I have to find some solution to this problem...

Thank god... I'm sick of having to re-assign my Announcers, Colour Commentators, Managers and Personalities.

[QUOTE]#61: Force Push Added by popular request to TEW08 is the new Force Push feature. Very simple but (hopefully) very useful, when using the existing Auto Push feature on your roster you can now select as many (or none) of your roster and force their current push level to remain untouched -[B] in other words, they will be excluded from being part of the usually roster-wide Auto Push.[/B] This is useful if you have particular favourites who you want to give a bigger-than-warranted push to, or it someone has annoyed you to the point that you are purposely giving them a lower push than they could reasonably expect.[/QUOTE] THANK YOU ADAM!

[gazwefc83]

extremely useful

[cyberkitten01]

[quote]they will be excluded from being part of the usually roster-wide Auto Push.[/quote] So no need to constantly change my Personalities back to Managers :rolleyes:

[QUOTE=Undertaker666;407220]Example 1: If you had a lot of Road Agents or Managers and used the Automatic Push button, some of them would likely be pushed as a Personality instead. Now you can set it so they they will remain at the push you given them. Example 2: You might have someone who's a Midcarder but rotates between the Lower Midcard, Midcard and Upper Midcard (depending on wins/losses) when using Automatic Push. If you Force Push them as a Midcarder then their push wont keep jumping about. (and as if by magic, the message i'm replying to has disappeared?! :eek:)[/QUOTE] yeah I re read it and realized what it meant but thanks anyway

It's not funny. Not even a little. On-topic: this is one of those features I never would have thought of, but I'm glad to have it.

Love how you'll now get a bit of info telling you how close you are to reachign the next size. It's little stuff like this that makes the game more accessable for newcomers, and even for some oldtimers.

[Guest Bolton]

Brilliant, easy, and uncomplicated. Thanks Adam.

[CubsFan915]

[quote]The other change is likely to be quite popular. At the top of the screen are two lines of text; Current Size and Next Size. In specific terms, these spell out how you reached your present size and what you have to do to rise to the next level. For example, Next Size might read; "The next size is Global. To achieve this you must retain your current International status, and also attain B+ grades in at least six foreign regions." (NB: Those requirements are made up purely for this example). This allows the player to know exactly what he needs to do at the touch of a button, without having to check help files or read the forums.[/quote] W00t!!! Fantastic addition - I've every time I've wondered about that, I've had to fire up my internet browser and go to the post I've got bookmarked. Excellent!

[cyberkitten01]

Another great feature :)

[Wallbanger]

Very nice. I'm curious, though, would it also be beneficial to have 'Previous Size' as well, for quick reference in scenarios where you must prevent a drop in size to keep your job? This may not be as critical in light of Improved Owner Goals, but it may be a reasonable add-on.

[QUOTE=Adam Ryland;407814]The current size tells you what requirements you attained to get there - therefore you know what you have to do to stay there already.[/QUOTE] Though if you begin the game with a new promotion of a size other than the smallest, you don't know how much you must not fall if you want to stay at your current size... until you reach that popularity level

[quote=Adam Ryland;407814]The current size tells you what requirements you attained to get there - therefore you know what you have to do to stay there already.[/quote] /nod Got it. Sounds like it will work just fine. :D

[quote=BadFurDay;407815]Though if you begin the game with a new promotion of a size other than the smallest, you don't know how much you must not fall if you want to stay at your current size... until you reach that popularity level[/quote] If I'm reading Adam's comment correctly, he's saying Current Size will state the minimum requirements for the current size, not the company's actual stats.

[QUOTE=BadFurDay;407815]Though if you begin the game with a new promotion of a size other than the smallest, you don't know how much you must not fall if you want to stay at your current size... until you reach that popularity level[/QUOTE] I think you're misunderstanding what I'm writing. If the current size says "You attained this level by getting D- in every region in the country" then you know exactly what you have to do to make sure you don't fall in size - not go below D- in any region.
