Fred_the_Red Posted November 22, 2007 Author Share Posted November 22, 2007 I thought the 8.0.1 patch would fix the closing down and long shots bug by now. But no it hasn't. Long shots seems to have been toned down a little, closing down seems to sometimes work sometimes doesn't. Before the 8.0.1 patch http://community.sigames.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/5211026...342078263#9342078263 I had poor shots to goals ration After the patch http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/3343/asadadadqs4.jpg Still the same! Nothing has changed. Basically this closing down and long shot bug is what is causing everyone to have 20 shots on goal but only resulting in 1 or 2 goals scored. Fair enough only 2% of the shots go in. But if the opposition win as a result of 3 - 4 shots where you had 20 thats unfair and unrealistic. There is a game in there where Ipswich had 5 shots but NO/NOTHING/ZERO shots had hit the target AND THEY STILL SCORED!?!??! That game cost me 2 points. Since the patch I lost in the champions league, FA cup final and my run of form in the league. There are a load of people complaing about the number of shots per goals since the installing the patch.

Ackter Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Some stats using my 433 team, with Dean Ashton up front on his own: Matches: 28 Shots: 366 On Target: 211 % of shots on Target: 58 (I don't have individual player stats from just those 28 games, so I have to go with the last 40): Dean Ashton has scored 33 goals in 40 games from 153 shots - 97 of those shots were on target (coming in at 63% of total shots were on target). That's a 34% success rate - ie he scores with one of every three shots on target. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred_the_Red Posted November 22, 2007 Author Share Posted November 22, 2007 No but I expect after creating 30 chances that my players consisting of Rooney, Pato, Podolski, Fernandez and Anderson would at least put away 2 of those chances and win teams that create 4 chances.

earmack Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 This occurance is not a bug per se, but it obviously is a problem for people, mayhap SI could make the game more intuitive? I have never had any player convert 1/3 chances in over 200 seasons total (across all FM releases)but of course my tactics are responsible for this. Also mayhap the more 'senior' posters could use their noggins and steer clear of these topics instead of saying (EVERY GODDAMN TIME) 'well I don't have any problems making Average Mcaveragepants score 50 goals from 52 chances' because its the wrong side of helpful and the right side of bragging.

They just shoot from situations where they can either pass to someone who free on the wing or making runs forward. Shooting aimlessly outside of the box trying to score. If you take a look at these games I posted you will see that I have my MCa on long shots set to rarely. Yet he takes 6-8 shots from outside of the box. Ive followed suggestion of toning down the creative freedom which I have to the point where its 2 notche before normal and it still happens. http://community.sigames.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/521102691/m/4982071363 I will upload games for you give for to anlayse. You should get them tomorrow morning. <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Originally posted by Ackter: <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Originally posted by Hairy Coo: <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Get better players making the shots or change your tactics </div></BLOCKQUOTE> Now thats advice which covers all bases </div></BLOCKQUOTE> In this case the second part is almmost certainly correct.

(26.00) and most Corners (51) See the 26 shots per goal stat? ;p M Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody2goody Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 ""Like I said before my fowards are these Rooney, Pato, Podolski, Fernandez at the peak of their career age 24,25,26,27."" This must mean that you haven't started a new game with that patch because you couldn't have played through 3 seasons THAT quickly? If you did correct me but if you haven't maybe you need to start a new game for the full effects of the patch to work correctly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vasilli07 Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I am one of the few who complained about the long shot bug after beta patch 1. After patching, i had lesser long shots even though when i increase my player creativity, i like it the way as it is. If SI tweaked the shots to goal ratio, wouldn't we get high scoring games more(which some peeps complained about) and maybe some ridiculous scoreline at the end of the day? Finally, if SI tweaked it, i believe some peeps will complained they have world class attacking players but do not have more shots more than their opponents.
