Keep Them N'Guessen Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 One thing that has really frustrated me in FM12 and the few FMs previous to this year is that when the opposition score it is, more often than not, with their first meaningful attack or their first shot on target. Yet with the user, it usually seems to take a few shots on target before scoring. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormenDK Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 The inability for defenders to mark the free man standing on the back line during attacking throw ins. He is ALWAYS completely unmarked. My coach would kill me if I let that happen, and I am no near professional. Or crosses from the winger. This has two outcomes if he is marked by a defender. Either he makes the cross, or he hits the defender and it goes for a corner .... ALWAYS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott MUFC Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 just drew 3-3 with man city i score first... they get kick off run down and score.... then they score again... same as above but this time i have goal from kickoff then i score. then again from kickoff they score. so before i could acctually defend my lead it is gone? this is happening too often also far to many goals socred from players bouncing the ball off the keeper from a shot, always lands at a seconds triker Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freakiie Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 This is a big gripe for me. You try to click "keep on" then nope, he's injured sorry, computer says no. Even worse when you decide to sub him, decide that while you're at it might as well sub another tired player, so you open tactic window, sub players, confirm, game continues, oh no sorry player was injured, must be subbed! ... I just subbed him! Well yeah, that one didn't count because at that time you didn't know he couldn't continue yet! Oh and press conferences asking about players. Whatever will you do now your third left wing is injured?! Eh not sure.. perhaps play my #1 left wing who is one of the best players in the division? Oh and will your 3rd choice have to worry about his place in the starting eleven? ... He's my third choice!! He has NO spot in my regular starting eleven... Will you rest player X? ... Player X isn't registered for my next match. Of course I won't play him! Will you rest player Y? ... Player Y still has a 2 match ban for trying out his dropkicks on the pitch! So NO! He won't play! Will you consider leaving player Z out a few matches considering his recent sending off? ... Player Z got sent off for a professional foul in the 89th minute in a game we were leading with 1-0 snatching us the win. Why should I punish him for that?!

into pitch black Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 When you are a lower league manager and you advertise for a coach, assistant manager, first team coach etc. Nearly all of the applicants want wages way over what you can offer, you dont find this out until you actually offer them the job, when you do offer a contract the first thing you notice is the job being offered isn't the one selected on the contract offer screen, you change it and now he wants 2, 3 ,4,10 times what you can offer.

willamangiro Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Player gets green injury, and you sub him off. Then back in game his injury suddenly becomes a red one, and it undoes any other subs you made at the same time. More annoying, sendings off in friendlies. Who gets sent off in a friendly?! People play them for practice, and want to play against 11 men. In the VERY rare event that someone does something dangerous in a friendly, its much more common to make the manager make a substitution, rather than send the player off.

scott MUFC Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 transfer deadline day, liverpool put an offer in for bale and get contract done before my offer is even accepted. this would not happen as interest was declared from other teams. and random injures from nothing (just seen wilfried having to go off for being injured when the opposition is taking a free kick in my half) decent newgens having terrible potential ratings when scouted, and spawning in places where work permits required. and team playing 20x worse because it is away is getting beyond a joke. can we also have the reasons WHY the work permit was turned down so i know when it is possible to sign the guy and be notified when that event is triggered?

RichieVilla Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Work permit is only turned down for 2 reasons 1) Player needs to have played in 75% or more of all international matches in the last 2 years 2) Nation he represents needs to be in top 75 nations of world football if these conditions are not met he will fail a work permit, sometimes an appeal will work (eg guzan appealed because he is 2nd best american gk but cant oust tim howard) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

izzathafiz Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Probably already raised by others, but here's some of my pet peeves of FM2012: Managing Chelsea. At the end of season...after the UCL final. "Board is satisfied with your coaching...bla bla bla...thinks <player> was a good signing. Still disappointed about that 1-1 draw with Spurs couple of months back." Really? REALLY? I JUST WON THE UCL FINAL AGAINST REAL MADRID YOU FREAKING...oh, this game is bad for my blood pressure. The fans rep's overdramatic response when my team only drew against Lenit. "Fans are devastated at the result". DEVASTATED? GOOD. GO JUMP INTO A LAKE, FAN REP. Oh yeah...after the 10th time Daniel Sturridge complained about training (even after I adjusted the training load), I dream of giving him a piledriver thru a flaming table. That was a delicious dream. If I ever see Roberto di Matteo in real life, I'll just shout "ASSMAN~" at him. Thanks for all the utterly useless suggestions, Roberto.

Jonas66 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 2 things about loans frustrate me - firstly whenever you offer a player out to loan, you get responses back from all the clubs saying whether he would be important first team player or cover or back up etc, and normally I only accept teams who say my player will be first team player as I want them to play matches, but when I make a loan move for someone I don't get that option to say what player he would be, which must affect an AI team's decision as to who to loan him to? Also, if I have a good youngster and I get a news peice saying Juventus are interested in buying Southamptons XXXXXX, in the response section, I can say I won't sell him, I might or I will, but I want to be able to say I'll let him go on loan? Actually, one other thing while I think of it, if I reject a bid for a player and they ask for an improved contract but I haven't got the budget, there's no conversation option to tell them why I am rejecting it. So they then get unhappy I haven't offered a new contract?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormenDK Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 One other thing. The inability to specify which players an AssMan/Coach should use in his starting 11 (or on the bench) for Reserve/Youth games. It was in the game once, where if you put a player in a specific position in the Reserve squad's Tactics screen, then he would start the game there. I now have to manage my Reserves too, just to be sure that certain players get play-time in the positions I want them in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a good point. Also telling the loaning club the intended squad status at your club should enable you suggest the amount of wages you are willing to pay. The board currently seem to set a wage %age which has no relevance to your wage budget. Regularly I can pay a signing twice as much as I can a loan player.

kmido Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Press conferences:"Having chosen to rest some key players, you must be pleased with the win?" I have a squad of circa 20 players, only four of those have 'Key player' status and they all played. The rest are rotated weekly and have squad status set as such. "Manager X slams blame culture in football" No I didn't, I said if the manager wasn't getting the results he should go. Loading screens: Games played - Let's have the fewest first so I can see them? Team talks: AssMan - "Some gentle encouragement could work well here" Me - "OK then, take the team talk please" AssMan - "Go out there and show me what you can do!" (Hardly gentle encouragement) Players - No response. Scouting: Generally carp. Scouts cannot be assigned to their home nations (if you want some results anyway) which is an effing joke in lower league football. Competition scouting doesn't yield any results either. Match highlights: I get a replay of a penalty being scored/missed - how about you show me wtf happened for the penalty to be awarded in the first place? The penalty one is annoying.

sfg Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Not sure if I wrote this before, but it is my absolute number one hate so I want to post it again ; it seems you have to offer your coaches new contracts every year to stop them leaving to go to other clubs; I can't believe there is anywhere near such a high turnover of staff in reality, and sometimes you offer them a huge contract and they leave to join a new (often lesser) team on a smaller wage - why? It is such a pain having to go through 30 odd staff renewing their deals every year imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freakiie Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 yet spanish clubs seem to have no prolem getting newgens from peru etc. That's because only England has work permits. (At least of the bigger leagues, perhaps some less popular leagues also have them.) That and having way too many matches causing seasons to take forever are the two main reasons I don't like managing in England . Edit: Oh and things that annoy me. The "mistake led to goal" part. Sometimes it's just silly... Cross comes in, opposition player loses his marker, is closer to the ball than my goalie so gets his head to it before my goalie can catch/punch it away and scores. Who'se to blame for the goal? My goalie. WTF?! HOW?! He should've stayed on the line and save a point blank diving header? No way in hell he'd ever manage that! Then what? Teleport in front of the opposition player? Because that's the only way he'd ever get to the ball first. If there's someone to blame it's my defenders who completely lost their man... Had a few other situations like that where the system randomly pointed at people making mistakes while I after rewatching 3 times still can't grasp where the guy actually made the mistake. Another situation earlier, player X loses ball way too easily near penalty box, winger drills in low cross, attacker gets there first and scores. Who is to blame? Not the guy who decided to dwell on the ball and lost it near his own goal, no some defender that didn't manage to get a foot against a drilled in cross...

One mistake can haunt a player the entire match. If I defender made a mistake in the 2nd. minute, he will not get a decent rating unless he does something like score a goal. Also I often get "Deserved his yellow card" ... fine. But lose it after 15 min. or so. If my player gets the card after 4 minutes, the next 86 minutes, I have no clue as to what his motivation is.
