Computer AI constantly scoring goals from 35/40 yards out?

Is this my imagination or is anyone else seeing a stream of goals by the AI from long distance. It makes no difference what the player stats are, they just rifle them in from insane ranges. At the moment in 10 games I have conceded no less than 9 goals from 35yds+.

It's a bug matey hopefully one which will be sorted out in the next patch fix.

Has been an issue for the last few versions as far as I know. It's incredibly frustrating when you finally find a system that stops the opponents ripping your back line to shreds and limits them to long range attempts, only to start watching the goals flying in from distance, especially when they turn wins into draws or defeats, and draws into losses.

Is it officialy reported as a bug by SI or just guessing?

Don't get me wrong, I think it's an issue as well but just want to know if SI have acknowledged it as a bug.

I think it was reported as a bug in 2007 if im not mistaken

Oh dear god yes! I thought it was my goal keeper being terrible, turns out they will just score 40+ yard goals against anyone..

The opposition will never get through my defense so they just shoots from near the half way line. I mean cmon!

It doesn't really happen that often for me but when it does happen it seems really weird because the keeper has plenty of time to move to the ball's trajectory but he just decides to stand there and jump at the final second.

Heh.. well considering it seems FAR more evident in FM11 then it did in 10...

I've seen a few crazy shots that have hit the bar / forced a save form 40-50 yards, but none have gone in yet, thankfully.

I see both myself and computer scoring goals from distance, and to many usualy too.

I commented on my long shot experience in another thread, saw this post with regards to long shot:

Just a couple of quick things in regards to 'long shots:

'My team has too many long shots' - Okay so your long shots may be set on low setting - but what about creativity? If a player has high creative freedom don't just assume that'll mean he'll play amazing through-balls. It means he'll ignore your instructions to an extent and play in the role you've assigned him how they feel fit to. Likewise ticking 'free role' - it means they'll be more expressive.

'The opposition has too many long shots' - I hate to bring this out but consider your tactics. Are you midfielders and defenders set to high closing down? Is your team sitting deep allowing more space in the midfield? I'd suggest a high line, narrow width and pressing to stop long range shots - however this will open yourself up to attacks down the wings and in behind.
