drumz Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Is anyone else hitting the bar/post every game, sometimes twice or three times? Seems to be happening every game for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things Could Get Messi Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 i hit the woodwork 3 times vs cardiff, twice vs sunderland, chelsea and man utd. bloody annoying when its hard enough to score against big teams in the 1st place! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
drumz Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 I don't mind players hitting the post, it's part of football but every game is a little unrealistic. In real life this season, my team's only hit the post twice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibserpool Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Liverpool have hit the woodwork 10 or 11 times this season IRL, so it can happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FootballManager Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Sometimes i think people are just looking for things to moan about, The woodwork gets hit more than you would imagine, as Hibserpool pointed out the liverpool stat. Although i think every game is a tad unrealistic but for you to hit the bar say 4 games in a row for example would be perfectly normal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
drumz Posted November 2, 2011 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 It's not a moan, it's just that the majority of us are social degenerates withdrawn from society who take the game far too seriously If anything, it's a massive compliment to SI for making such a damn good game!!!

drumz Posted November 12, 2011 Author Share Posted November 12, 2011 Please SI can you tone this down. This is one thing that ruins the game for me. Virtually every game I hit the woodwork at least once. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hugo_rune Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 My team in FM hits the woodwork far less (maybe three or four times so far from 15 games) than the team I support IRL (Liverpool). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
quaazi Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Sorry, but I'm gonna bump this thread to show you guys this: That's 6 times that I've hit the woodwork in one game. Plus one time Hannover hit the post too. Total of 7 times the ball hit the woodwork. Now, I haven't been too critical of the excessive amount of woodwork hits so far (like, 2-3 per game with rare no-post games), but this is just ludicrous! When I have 36 shots in a game, I want a bigger damn return for it than 4 goals and 6 woodwork hits to go into my statistics (admittedly, I average about 25 shots per game, so the chances of hitting the posts are higher too, but still...)! This "artificial difficulty" stuff really breaks immersion. The chart also shows a problem with scoring one on ones - all shots Gomez (no33) had from inside the box were one on ones, and he's a very good finisher! But that's another problem for another day.

Administrators Lucas Posted November 28, 2013 Administrators Share Posted November 28, 2013 In the 2012/13 Premier League season Man United hit the woodwork 24 times, about 1.66 per match, so at least once per game isn't unusual. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertPage Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Hitting the woodwork does happen quite often IF you're a team that spends most of the season being the better, more attacking team getting most shots away. The last 2 seasons liverpool have been post/crossbar crazy. Even this season Sturridge himself must have hit it about 5 times. For top teams it's not that rare. But if you're a lower /mid-table team who average well below 15 shots per games but are then averaging more than 2 or 3 with hitting the post/bar then there is a problem. From what i'm seeing in my games it is about right. I've had games where i have hit the post 2, 3 and sometimes even 4 games but there have been plenty of games where i haven't hit it at all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurferJames Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 some hitting it more than one game so wouldn't say 1 per game is unusual its very common to see this if you watch most of the real matches at any level, but I do believe they are doing something about this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But maybe Man U had higher than average shots on goal? They were champions after all. Edit - Maths error aside. What's the stats throughout the league(s), as high? Because if anyone wants a game of crossbar challenge on FM Online, I fancy my chances with my boys pinging them in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebsy Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 In the 2012/13 Premier League season Man United hit the woodwork 24 times, about 1.66 per match, so at least once per game isn't unusual. If Man Utd hit the woodwork 24 times in 38 matches that would actually work out at 0.63 per match. Perhaps you got the wording mixed up as it would also work out at once every 1.58 matches or 142.5 minutes, but that's still different to 1.66 per match. Not quite sure how you've got that figure In fact, that was the highest of any team in the 2012/13 season, which even further makes you using it to refute the claims a bit daft!

danielbostock Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I am experiencing this problem badly as well, I usually have about 20-30 shots every game with about 15-20 on target and many of them hitting the woodwork, to many I have bloudy lost count its that infuriating. By the way they are not crappy strikers or other players whom are doing this, these are players with exceptionally high finishing and other important stats to bagging goals. I actually find most of my goal funnily enough come from set pieces in where my centers get that opening. In fact in one season my center player Balanta (I know hes a king but he is still a CB), was 1st for some time in goals lol. So yes I believe this is quite an issue, considering when I let my arse manager take control with all my tactics and stuff and we beat teams with much better figures, I am just baffled and think maybe my team just like showing me how much they can shoot? Haha ah well I am looking forward to the fix! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattwalkerHiston Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I appreciate that this forum gets cluttered with unnecessary threads, but I really think it's a good thing that this gets its own thread. It's early days yet, but this seems to be the only problem people (including me) have with the new ME. As people say, if this can be pretty much our only complaint then SI have done a damn fine job... and this certainly seems to be the only real glaring problem. It IS a glaring problem, it's statistically speaking 100% wrong (Seeing as an average of woodwork hits per game for a team is 0.50 and people are regularly reporting 2/3 hits a game, that works out to about 1.00 per game. Hence 100% out). But (hopefully!) it's an easy fix for the next update just by converting a large number of these post and bar shots into off-target shots that go wide or over. Providing people remain patient and don't get too angry over this, there's nothing to complain about. The issue has certainly be raised and will be fixed. I think we just have to commend SI for such an improvement from the released ME to this patched version... only tiny bits of polish are really needed to make it from great to phenomenal.

danielbostock Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I agree when you compare it to the games that have been rushed out lately and then have required so many patches to make it decent enough to play (ie: Rome 2 TW & X Rebirth), SI have indeed done a great job. This is pretty much my main problem and it is forcing me to save the game before I play because of how glaringly bad this can be! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneronaldo Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 The annoying isn't hitting the bar, its my player consistently hitting it throughout the game, then gets a 5.9 because his finishing was apparently, ****. **** me, time to hoard up all those 20 finishing strikers, then probably watch them do the same thing, cry, sack them and bring in strikers with only single digits in finishing and rule the world.
