lukewbutler04 Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 ive nearly finished my first season with birmingham city, and roger johnson is on 20 goals! and id say probably every single one is from a header via corner or freekick. have you had any high goalscoring central defenders??

If your DC is scoring 20 a season from set pieces you are most certainly exploiting the ME. You shouldn't even need people to tell you this :confused: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyACE Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Had a defender score 17 goals last season for me. Was playing in Spanish Liga Adelante. Just used the default setups for corners and freekicks, but I did change the distribution of corners to the 6 yard box. That's it. No exploitation of ME.

Whirlwind Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 We don't know how he set things up, but even if it is a bug, isn't it more the ME's fault than OP's? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sead Muratic Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Bottom line is that it's sad that we can no longer be happy about defender scoring load of goals from corner/free kick. You'd never heard about corner bug when your two defenders found the net more easily than Clint Dempsey in every match, you're happy, but later you'd find it awkward to see your two different DCs on your top scorers history for two seasons, then you'd have to change your set-pieces setting to make yourself and anyone feel better, and months later you'd fire your strikers because he simply suck.

ahyeahok Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I had one great season in the championship my cb captain scored 15 in the league, he has good heading stats, but apart from that he's only got 3 to 5 a season in the last 5 seasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBKalle Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 We don't know how he set things up, but even if it is a bug, isn't it more the ME's fault than OP's? Yes, but the result is still the same: a defender ends up scoring an insane amount of goals, thus the record-breaking figure is pretty much meaningless, regardless of whose "fault" it was. AFAIK Materazzi holds the record for goals scored by a defender [at least in a top league in recent years], with 12 (and another season with 10). But that year he was in charge of penalties and free kicks too. Typically the most dangerous defenders can score half a dozen goals, but most of them are also dangerous free-kick takers, and/or offensive fullbacks (R. Carlos, Riise) A centreback coming forward for corner kicks etc rarely scores more than 3-4 goals per season. So having some guy scoring 20 in FM reeks of ME exploitation. Not that I condemn it, as anyone is free to play the game his way, but in such cases the achievements don't mean much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppe Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 27goals in 52games on FM 09. my regen CB had a 20 for free kicks, penalty's and heading, so he took every dead ball and then scored the occasional header. was weird having my top goalscorer a defender though!

midlothian Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Steve Bruce scored 19 goals in 50 games for Manchester United in 1990/91 so while it's rare, it can happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
