[玩家交流] FM2011博客第四天 -- 全新的新闻发布会杀来啦

Yesterday I blogged about the new news system and some of the new media in FM11 and today’s continues from there by talking about the revamped press conferences.

昨天我在博客中透露了一些关于全新新闻系统及媒体模式的特性.今天我将继续为大家带来关于改进版新闻发布会的相关讯息.

Press conferences are what Id describe as a 'marmite' feature of the Football Manager series. You either love 'em, or hate 'em. Which is why the option is there to ask your assistant to do them for you if you fall in the latter camp!

我习惯于把之前FM系列中的新闻发布会形容为"萝卜白菜".你要么喜欢的不得了,要么讨厌的没完没了.基于此我们设置了一个功能可以让助教代替你出席,不至于让你越玩越觉得无聊.

aMe, I love them. But I also acknowledge that in last year's release they weren't as good as they could have been.

我很喜欢新闻发布会啦.不过我必须承认,去年的发布会并没有起到他应有的作用,这离我们的设计初衷尚有差距.

For those of you who've never played Football Manager before, the way press conferences work is that a bunch of journalists turn up from different publications, including MirrorFootball of course, and ask you questions, giving you five choices of answer.

对于那些此前从未接触过FM的人来说,新闻发布会就是这么回事儿:一大票来自各家媒体的记者(自然也有MirrorFootball的人)拿着长枪短炮追问你各种问题,你在五个选项中作出选择并回答.

They were actually one of the first features we worked on for Football Manager 2011, with an early decision made to go through every single question (well over 300 of them at that stage) and make sure that the answers were more in keeping with the situation that your club was in. Basically, there weren't enough possible answer sets, and now there are.

发布会是我们着手开发FM2011之后第一项改进的项目,我们为众多单个问题(目前超过300个)配备了更符合玩家俱乐部实际情况的回答.基本来讲,此前的某些回答很朦胧,并不尽如人意,如今我们改进了这点.

We have also changed the way you reply to the questions. Previously you chose your answer and then pressed the confirm button, and our usability studies showed that this frustrated people, so we now use a 'one click' system. Make sure you think about your answer before choosing it, or you could find yourself with some very unhappy players!

我们同样改变了玩家回复问题的方式.此前的模式是你选好自己的回答,然后按下确认按钮这样.不过来自我们的调查显示这种方法并没有令玩家满意.所以今年我们采用了"一点即回"的新系统.这样在选择之前就一定要想好哦,否则你就会因为语出不慎而面对球员们的臭脸.

We've also added a bunch of new questions - well over 100 - meaning the total amount of questions is over 500 now, including many that are triggered by the new system we have in place for working out how well (or badly!) your team are doing, to ensure that the questions you are asked really are specific to your team, rather than being generic.

我们增加了100多个新问题,.这就意味着现有的问题总数已经超过500条.新系统改变了以往套路化询问玩家球队表现的模式,FM2011中的问题将不再像以往一样普遍化通用化,而是更加贴近你的球队近况.

The new system is also a lot more 'clever'. It can recognise when you've rested a player, how fans feel towards new signings, when you've re-signed a player, how important the forthcoming match is and the above mentioned better logic for choosing the answer set.

新的系统也变得更加聪明.当你轮换球员时他会指出来,球迷们对新援的态度他也会说出来,你新签入一名球员的做法,以及对即将来临的重要比赛的态度等等等等他都会问,而上述的这些问题以及更多的问题都会在答案设计方面保持合理优秀的逻辑设定.

One of the complaints that we've had on the system is that it gets a bit repetitive, so hopefully the extra questions will make it less so - although as someone who spends a lot of time doing interviews each year, it happens in real life too. You wouldn't believe how many times I get asked exactly the same questions each year, including many in every interview!

关于新闻发布会我们唯一想要抱怨的就是他太啰嗦.所以希望新加入的众多新问题可以有效缓解这一情况.其实,我每年出席众多新产品介绍会的时候,那些问题也和游戏中一样啰嗦重复无趣啊...

So I can't promise that you won't see questions more than once because, simply, you will - but we're trying to simulate real life here, and it happens!

所以我不能保证你遇到的所有提问都是新鲜的,原因你懂的...但是我们真的在努力把现实中的一切搬进游戏,很高兴我们做到了.

There's not nearly enough space on the internet to go detail every new press conference question that's in the game, but here are a few of my favourites:

没有太多时间也没有太多篇幅可以让我继续给你们介绍游戏中的新闻发布会了,所以我来说说一些我最喜欢的新特性吧

Questions about the club's ex-manager when you take over a club (particularly if they've been successful)

当你执教俱乐部,球队易主时会出现相关问题(尤其是成功收购之后)

Questions regarding new signings after they've played for a few matches

新援踢过几场比赛之后媒体会就其表现发出问题

Specific questions for special competitions, like the Community Shield.

特别比赛会有特定问题,例如社区盾.

A new press conference following draws for major tournaments if your team are involved with them.

如果你的球队参加重大赛事,新的发布会将关注抽签结果.

Questions regarding team selection when the manager may be considering rotating and/or resting players.

当教练准备轮换阵容时会有相关问题.

Signing former players and the reaction that will have around the club and amongst the supporters.

当签下俱乐部前球员时在球迷及俱乐部间可能造成的反应.

Questions asked when milestones have been reached both by clubs and players.

当球员或者俱乐部完成里程碑事件时会有相应的问题

A whole host of new Cup-related questions.

众多关于杯赛的新问题

Right, that's it for today, and for this week! I'll be back on Monday to reveal some more secrets about Football Manager 2011, but you'll have to wait and see what it will be!
