[POLL] Has 9.2 fixed the goalkeeper assist?

I got to be honest here, I am still getting owned by it constantly ..

Anyone else finding it is _excessive_?

put another option in - never happens. ive not seen it once since the patch

I'm seeing the same old same old crap.

Goalkeepers dont seem to ever do anything but long kicks .. which always go straight to the AI and result in an instant attack on goal.

Goalkeepers, when coming out to pick up a loose ball will always hoof it up the pitch and the ST will generally get on the end of it and score.

Same as previous version, just slightly less often.

Goalkeepers distribution + long range assists are truly mind numbingly irritating.

I see it alot less often now as it was a problem before patch.

i understand where you're coming from, happened all the time for me before the patch. but since the second patch ive never seen it. for or against me

Ye, there should be choice for "fixed" because it seems to be fixed, only rarely when GK is outside the box and cross ball with max power anywhere it can get grabbed by attacker, but it's rare, very rare and it's fixed for me.

It's still an issue but it's much better than before.

I find that the goalkeepers often kick the ball away to the oppositon's midfield.

what kind of poll has 2 opptions yes and a bit yes? wheres no?

I was thinking that too.

LOL I'm drunk. Its Christmas eve.

I was tempted to make a scan of my butt and solicit opinion, but I couldn't think up enough poll options.

I'm off to pass out now.

Adios!

Ok how many drunk men are on FM Forums at 10:30 besides me and Les Girondins.

No im not really drunk. Also i think this issue should be put in the bugs forum surely, or am i wrong?

Merry Christmas

I haven't seen it much at all after the last patch. And when it does happen, it seems to be a lot less clear cut.

What I see a lot is the following: Goalkeeper gets the ball from DC, passes it back to the same DC, it bounces of his backheel straight to the opposition resulting in a clear chance on goal. Drives me mad it does.

Yeah, I'm really fed up with the way players welly the ball into each other and also with the weird backheel bouncy thing. It also seems as if players turn their backs on a ball coming towards them and just let it hit them on the back.

Now that I think about it, I don't think I have ever seen a keeper actually throw a ball.

Has anyone else seen it or do I need to start taking ginkgo?

Same here mate, have never seen it myself.

Thanks for bringing that up, have never thought about it.

TBH i've not seen this since I patched the game but it was always happening before the patch

is this just against you? i've only noticed chances occur out of this TWICE in 20~ matches, which seems fair to me in serie a football.

No. The goalkeeper assist is still present, it just tends to come now from backpasses or interceptions made by the keeper and his subsequent punt upfield. It seems to happen more often when the AI is attacking.

Most people don't seem to be suffering it so bad, so maybe it is just me being unlucky.

I don't have top class players though so there is more space, no man marking etc. Maybe its an issue more at lower levels, but hey it is in real life ..

The lack of any working goalkeeper throws or defender collect code presently is a major annoyance however.

Dunno about throwing it, but Robert Green ran out on his area beautifully to intercept an attack, controlled it, and promptly ran back to his area leaving the ball exactly where he left it!!! Fortunately the finish of the extremely appreciative striker was woefull. Worst ME ever!!!

i found it happend 3 times in 3 friendlies and never since. but thats with the last patch.

It's been addressed but unfortunately, the reason why it was an issue in the first place - defender movement - hasn't been fixed. Hence a ridiculous amount of long balls from defenders still put strikers through, because defenders still run towards the ball first and then turn and chase.

Second that. Its like they are trying to intercept it (on the ground) but not recognize that the ball is 10 feet up in the air
