Guest sav112 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Playing the Clan game and getting to the CL final and have to say just about had it with this game – it’s predictable and a joke at times. The lads were all laughing and me with them as we know the score - you cant beat the Ai….. Team Valencia I’ve put in the work I’ve got the squad I’ve got world class end to end I’ve got the training I’ve got the coaches. I’ve got my tactic. They score form corners They need little chance There player that’s never scored scores The whole team got injured at one point ten players out my first eleven, even my class Gk is out for five months. B team does not have a fixture list Squad registration has to be watched Financial anomalies crop up What do you need to win in this, It’s an Ai over compensated pile. The whole feel is lost, Do stats make a difference! aaaaaaaaa that feels better... Fm anyone? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrazT Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 As someone with great medical knowledge ( I have been to the Doctor twice !) , I would recommend the following; Remove the FM game from the computer Place the FM disc in its case Take a break from FM for 14 days. Take a single dose of the 8.0.2 pill Everything will be better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Equally, sav112's problems will not be solved by a patch. There are problems with the game and the engine, but I can't see your fortunes suddenly turning around after the patch. Learn how to train your players properly and how to set up tactics. If you need one for Valencia, go to the tactics forum, ask for it and I'll either give you mine (great for Silva, Vicente, etc) or I'll make up another one with the formation you like best.

Guest sav112 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 The training is spot on, trust me or at the very least be very proficient with the team of world class stars. I’m not hiding behind the Tactic chest nut as I built this team and know the players strengths and weakness. I’m not playing alone as it’s a clan game and we are all experiencing it. No offence but these guys know there stuff and would probably blow most of you out the water….no offence Hawshiels. The league table is not fluid but kept in check, you seem to finish were it thinks you should, we call it the “getting to close too Barca phenomenon!†get to within a challenging position and your team throws a wobbly…….. Been playing this game sine the very first Cm version and since 2003 in clan games and I’ve never felt so powerless and at sorts with the game. I used to know why I lost games and won them on the old versions, when you lost you took it on the chin and worked on it and got rewarded but on this version you loose basically as its just time for it (don’t care your team needs to loose this game to adjust the table). If I’m the only one feeling it’s a battle in which your disadvantage and handicapped for the Ai to have it easy…do there players even register match fitness these days as a player never played in the last 25 matches and not played once since friendly games at the beginning of the season all of a sudden plays like Cristiano Ronaldo. Don’t get me started on Ai Goal keepers there all brilliant when they play human players and ridiculously poor when it goes back to Ai v Ai .. It comes down to this, The old version you got rewarded for well thought out teams, tactics you could rely on players to perform. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor Jewell Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Thanks for the rant!

lawd Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 If I may put in my 2 cents. Why is it that none of my players can score freekicks? But their players score them (usually after a massive deflection of the wall) now I would understand this if my players where rubbish but I had Pirlo for one (never scored a freekick in a season and a bit for Milan) And Riquelme the other. Both have Freekicks at 20 and Riquelme, quite possibly the most gifted technical player in the game, never scores. Now some may say its cause the keepers are class, but I have Riquelme on my Boca save still no free kicks go in for me. Is this a bug? Its for the 8.0.1 patch by the way. Oh and I agree sometimes it does seem that the game just decides your due a loss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have lots of injuries, is it: 1. Training regime is too hard or coaches train them too hard? 2. Tackles set to normal or hard for a player that cannot handle this? 3. Individually skillful players being tackled hard because they hold the ball for too long? 4. Not resting players enough? As for the tactics, if you are sick of losing goals to corners or last minute goals, I would be happy to give you my tactic - but perhaps that would spoil some of the fun for you.

Guest sav112 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Happy with Training and Tactics as are most of the lads, Your tactic is one of hundred out there that probably does work for this match engine, I’ll stick to my way my tactic is fluid with the opposition and players on the park….I don’t go into those downloading tactic. I’ve been very successful over the three clan seasons CL finals, Cups etc but just realise a bit more than some casual players. Remember the good old days of the Deablo tactic that would win nearly every game. I’d hate to think that as our rep is built from scratch and starts at the very lowest it effects the game so much, thankfully I’m continental now.

skintsaint Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Just sounds like another whinge as you cant win the league even with a team of world stars. Ive learnt that you need to make adjustments to get any sort of consistancy. You cant just make a super tactic (diablo) and play the whole season without any changes. As a result, even minor changes give you consistancy and you can achieve domination like older version. This isnt another "im a better manager than you" comment before you go down that road! If you see older comments in tactics and training from myself you will see I hated this game due to the supposed bugs, but I read a number of posts and it made me understand the game better.

chopper99 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 As for the OP problem, I agree there are some problems with the game that can make it frustrating for some people at times. But please don't go down the 'The AI just suddenly decides that I'm doing far too well and should be cheated out of some victories' road. The AI does not cheat you, and most of the problems you touch upon, whilst annoying, can be avoided and overcome. In fact many people are avoiding or overcoming these problems which negates the argument that the AI suddenly decides to cheat you and you can't win no matter what. The game, rightly or wrongly, now takes a bit of thought and experiment to get right. And I don't think your clan buddies know as much about the game as they claim otherwise they would not be constantly suffering from these problems Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajw2255 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I took over Real in 2015 or so, after they finished 8th in la liga. I bought about 4 players and won 2 la liga and the Spanish cup in 2 seasons. Clearly is possible to win, maybe you're just not very good at the game?

DJW1979 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Sav112 - you appear to have posted expecting everyone to simply agree with you. Instead, you have received some really helpful suggestions and offers of assistance. However, you blankly refuse to move from you tactics and your training. I think it would help for you to open up your mind to the possibility that you might not have got it right at the moment, and that it is you that is causing these problems, not the AI. It always seems like an easy excuse to blame the match engine and not your tactics/players/decisions etc... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sav112 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I don’t really need advice its not the tactics or training I’ve been playing the game far to long and have spent many hours tweaking on a live game as have the rest. Ands more over it’s not just my tactics, training, squad that is affected it’s the whole clan and were not your average bunch, we know what we are doing and we know the game inside and out. I’m not sticking to the one tactic over the three seasons or even the training. I don’t know how deep you delve into the game, we its deep this end. My mate does not even play online and has won everything with both Everton, Real Madrid and even lighting up on a LMM game but he’ll emit he never touches training or tactic only uses the ones from the game even the team talks are on auto, so I under stand when people say they are winning Titles and Euro cup but he knows online its not for him as he can own the Ai but does not fancy the pace of online with constant competition for players and Human v Human matches. I’m the opposite I’ve never played single player games since Cm03, just does not interest me. Anyway Its just a rant as the game is so annoying in its current form having played all the versions even Cm04 for my sins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnerfan Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Even when it IS your tactics, it isn't usually apparent why it should be so.
