今天是星期一的下午，但我觉得今天比较像星期三。

周未的SI主楼非常忙碌，Steve在QA的房间一直工作至早上的7:05才回家睡觉，而我在星期六和星期天也为了早日完成FM09而工作至早上3:30。我和Steve都不是程序员，大家可以想象SI的程序员是多忙碌了。

但所有的努力都是值得的，距离FM09的完成愈来愈近了，特别在3D画面调整方面，我们有了重大的突破。

在SI工作室附近的店在星期天都关门了，令我们买不到甜食来补充能量，但这对我来说是好事(Miles牙痛) 。

好了，今天的文章会是这个星期的blog的第一篇，随后会在星期三和星期四更新另外两篇，内容会关于FM09的新资料和回答大家所发问的一些问题(问题可发至[email=blogs@sigames.com]blogs@sigames.com[/email][color=red]) 。我们希望在明天完成FM09的最低系统要求，然后把要求发到[/color]www.sigames.com上。星期五会有新的播客，我们会透露更多的新特性。

根据Marc抽签的结果，我今天会在这个Blog中发布4个新特性:

[color=blue]国家队候选名单的改进:
在国家队候选名单中增加了可一次选择数个球员的功能，对于喜欢使用国家队的朋友们，这改进可以大大节省了您们的时间。

FM09电子邮件的一次性选择功能:
其实这个功能在FM系列是旧功能了，但一般的玩家可不会翻那本介绍手册(Miles: 我也不会)FM的E-mail是可以作一次性选择的，只要您单击球员或其他东西的名称左边的箭头便可以作出过滤了。

系统随机生成球员:
我们今年很用心的改进生成球员的系统，首先，我们采用更多球员的爱称，令生成球员更像现实的球员(例如因为有些球员的名称很长:Figo，KaKa，Kun等) ，虽然有些爱称很奇怪…例如Ice Cream和Potato…
另外，我们也增加了生成球员的第二国籍功能，这样他们也可选择进入第一或第二国籍的国家队了。

现在是时候回答一些玩家的问题了:
问: 随FM09附送的鼠标器可以另外购买吗?
答: 不行，只有在HMV订预的买家可拥有。

问: Miles，你一般的工作情况是怎样的?
答: 足球，足球，还是足球…
[/color]
还有很多发到[email=blogs@sigames.com][color=red]blogs@sigames.com[/email]的问题，除去一些游戏的特性外，还有一些其他的。丹尼尔格里芬问：“我可以单独买酷酷的鼠标吗？因为我好像记得，我这里的游戏商店，是单独出售的。”[/color]

好的，丹尼尔，答案是否定的。在英国，迷你鼠标只能从HMV.com上提前预定(也可能在连锁零售商店，但是我会让人在HMV上给予答复) [color=blue]【HMV：在连锁零售商店提前预定，也能获得迷你鼠标】。提前预定的迷你鼠标不会被单独出售，一旦这样的事情发生，那些人会给自己找麻烦的。[/color]

Simon Howes问到，“Miles，一个小问题，你通常的工作日是怎样的？”哦，这没有一个确定的答案，每天有太多的事情要做。我工作日中，唯一确定的是我会在电脑上谈论谈论足球。

我们也收到了中国玩家发来的email，一个叫yaomingxin的玩家询问关于中文版游戏的问题。虽然以前曾经有过官方中文版，但现在已经不可能像以前那些版本一样了，我们已经无法做那么多。我们真的很想发布中文版的游戏，因为在中国有那么多球迷和FM迷，但是如果真要做一个当地的翻译，需要有合适的运作与销售做保证才可以。希望在未来某一天可以如偿所愿。

好了，我现在必须回去工作了。游戏要在11月14日发布，我必须尽可能让它更完美。

但是，我离开要再透露另一个新特性。。。
[color=blue]球队纪录的改进: 将增加一项“最快进球”的纪录。

原文

It's Monday afternoon, but it feels like Wednesday.

'Twas a very busy weekend at SI Towers, with Steve in our QA room running the longest shift, having got to bed at 7.05am this morning. I feel a bit of a wuss for only having managed 3.30am on both Saturday and Sunday nights. The things we do to get games done, huh - and neither of us are coders, so it's even harder for them.

Still, we're very much getting there, and all the hours at the weekend were definitely worth it, with the 3d view making big strides. Although learning that most of the shops around our studio are closed on Sunday's left us without a decent supply of sweets. Which is probably a good thing.

Anyway, onto this weeks blogs. These, in theory, will be this one today, one on Wednesday, and one on Thursday and, as promised last week, there'll be some new info about the game in them, as well as answering some questions that have been sent in by you, the people reading this blog (to [email=blogs@sigames.com]blogs@sigames.com[/email] if you want to join in the fun!). On top of that, we hope to be able to finalise the minimum specs for the game tomorrow, Tuesday, which we'll post over at our website at www.sigames.com, and then on Friday there'll be a new podcast, which will also have some new features for Football Manager 2009, as well as the normal football chat.

So, where to start. I've just asked Marc at SI to pick a random number between 1 & 6, and he went for 4, which means there'll be 4 new features metioned in this blog.

Let's start off with international "national pool" improvements. For those who like to manage international teams in the game, this will save them lots of time, as the multi-select actions on the national pool window have been improved to make moving players around national squads easier.

Which actually brings me onto something else, something that's been in the game for years, but someone brought up on our forums this weekend as a "good idea for the future", followed by lots of others that didn't realise that you could do it in game. You know when you are using email software, you can select multiple emails by holding down "ctrl" when clicking on them, and using "shift" to select a block of emails? You can do that in FM aswell, by clicking on the arrows to the left of a players name, or a news item name. It surprised me that people didn't know about it already but hey, who reads manuals nowadays, huh? If I read manuals, I'd be much better at putting IKEA furniture together, but it would take half the fun away, but we do spend a lot of time on the manuals for our games, and you will likely learn new stuff from reading them.

Anyway, I disgree. Another couple of nice little touches with the game this year are to do with "generated players" those being players that don't exist in real life, but spring onto the world football stage through the game in future seasons. The first is for players to have more likelike common names for players who like to be known by their nicknames, as many South American players do as their names are so long. Although some of them take it a bit far in real life, with players called Ice Cream and Potato in our database!

Second natioanlities are also now generated for these generated players, so you'll find more Argentinian youngsters with Italian parents, and more players in the future having to decide which nation they want to represent, their own, or their parents.

Time for a couple of questions now that have been asked through the [email=blogs@sigames.com]blogs@sigames.com[/email] address. Ignoring those that asked about specific features, seeing as I asked very nicely for people not to (which still stands, by the way), Daniel Griffin asks - "Can you buy the cool mouse seperately, as I vaguely remember it being sold in a seperate box at my local games store?"

Well, Daniel, the answer is no. In the UK, the mini-mouse is available only with pre-orders from HMV.com (and possibly instore too, but I'll let someone from HMV answer that [hmv: "yup, pre-order in-store and you'll get the mini-mouse too!"]). The mini-mice that were sold previously should never have been sold, and someone got into trouble for allowing that to happen.

Simon Howes asks "Just a quick question Miles, what would be a typical working day for you?" and, err, there isn't actually an answer I can give beyond there being no such thing. There's so many different things to do, the only thing that is typical about my working day is that it tends to involve using my laptop and talking about football a lot.

We even got an email from China, from someone whose email address includes yaomingxin in it, asking about a Chinese language release of the game. We've done this before with FM2007, but it hasn't been possible with the last couple of releases, and is pretty much out of our hands. We'd love to release the game in China as there are so many keen football fans and gamers there, but if it's to be done with a local translation, then it needs to be done properly, and marketed properly. Hopefully that will be possible some time in the future.

Right, I must get back to work now, and continue trying to get the game as good as it possibly can be before it's released on November 14th.

But one more new feature before I go... There have been some improvements to "team records" inside the game, including the addition of a "fastest goal" stat.

Cheers

Miles
