ajhyndman@gmail.com Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 Hi I am a user of your product year in and out, I have to say that I find that every year your game gets less and less realistic, when I am promised it should become more. I think most people would agree that we want a game where if you build up a good team you expect to beat so called lesser teams, not every time, but the majority. I was recently Aberdeen and played 3 home game against Falkirk, St Mirren and Kilmarnock, 3 tough fixtures, I was in my second year and had a formidable squad, the stats where as follows: TEAM GAME SHOTS SHOOTS ON TARGET SCORE Aberdeen 1 18 7 0 Falkirk 1 2 1 1 Aberdeen 2 15 9 1 St Mirren 2 3 2 2 Aberdeen 3 23 11 1 Kilmarnock 3 4 4 3 I have compared every player in each team and I can swear that all my players where better, my tactics cant be to bad as I was sitting 2nd in the league prior to these games, if you can show me stats of this happening to a real team I will except it, but please when you say realistic this is the area you have to sort out, apart from that the game is good, but your scaring people away with this stupidity, as you will see when you read reviews of the game.

NepentheZ Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Andy, i swear to lucifer that you will get flamed for this, but i CAN, and i put my FM'hood on it, that with a few tweaks of your tactics turn those chances into goals. I wont, because thats your job as manager but a few little things will make a massive difference.

You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. And no, you dont have to go and trawl through 100 pages to get a good tactic, thats just what i chose to do. You can just as easily spend weeks and weeks developing your own, finding out exactly how to work the tactic yourself 30+ shots, doesn't happen regularly IRL, admittedly, but 1 goals every 3 shots NEVER happens game on game on game. And with a tweak of your tactics, 25+ shots returning 3 goals a game im sure will make you happy, so yea, maybe you should go into the tactics forum...

polegategavin Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 The whole essence of FM is that it is a simulation of a real life sport (football). The idea is that it is set up to give the gamer enjoyment by replicating the football world. But the realism ends at the point where the real players are included in the database along with the real teams. The idea of all games is to understand the 'mechanics' of the game to achieve the best results. You don't complain when playing an army simulation that the Germans win your game of World WarII as this is an achievable outcome from the 'game', no game claims to repeat real life, it wouldn't be any fun if games did this as you'd know what to expect before you started playing. With FM08 as NepentheZ has stated you need to tweak your tactics to suit your players to enable them to react as the game expects them to to achieve the results, and for every game it is different. Once you master the techniques for setting up tactics appropriately, using the opposition instructions (which IMHO is they key) and team talks accordingly then the results will follow. But as with real life don't expect everything to happen to the form book. Happily FM08 replicates the unpredictability of football nicely, thank you...

Mike7077 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I don't know where to start with this one. Firstly, the OP has taken Aberdeen to second in the table. So surely he's had some pretty excellent results along the way. Secondly, is it really so rare to batter teams and still fail to win? And, yes, it can happen in consecutive games. Liverpool are considerably better than some of the teams they've failed to beat lately. But it happens. My suggestion would be to keep working at your tactics. Just a couple of tweaks here and there. Before you know it, especially if your team is as good as you say, you'll find yourself on a winning streak again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnzy Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I think tactics are the be all and end all, you can have a great bunch of players but be disorganised and rubbish (England) or have a bunch of organised players and win (Greece), the problem with the game is that a click to many and you upset the balance of the team, where as in real life you would go out and say "chaps play a fast paced long ball game while defending deeply and counter attacking". Its been said many times before tactics need to have more of an explanation and some feedback, its also a known issue that there is a problem with chances created/scored.

RSCA4Ever Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Yes "tactics", "team talk" and "opposition instructions" do make the difference. If your team is creating lot's of chances but not scoring, it's due to pressure!!! This comes either from media or even from yourself. Telling your wingers and strikers individual at halftime that there is no pressure on them, and by telling the others that you are pleased would probably have done the trick! That's all the help i give you, you deserved those results only for telling FM is crap here! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajhyndman@gmail.com Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 Mike7007: I seen the stats for Liverpool, but my point is more with regards to one team have the chances converted against them and failing to score with so many. The away team has a conversion of around 85% over 3 games, the home team has a rate of around 4%, these are rough figures but you see my point.

xouman Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 tactics are too important. And one winning tactic may fail if rival is aware, this is because sometimes crap teams beat you just after you kicked a giant ass. If you play against a defensive team, change your tactic. Don't have just 1, at least have two and maybe tweak them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The away team has a conversion of around 85% over 3 games, the home team has a rate of around 4%, these are rough figures but you see my point. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> Are you saying that this happens a lot? Or just in the games you referred to in your original post? I ask because if it's the previous, then surely, by logic, you wouldn't have made it to second in the league. And if it happened only in the games you mentioned in your original post, then can you not put that down as an unfortunate sequence of events, as a real manager would have to, and try to figure out what you can do to get it sorted out?
