Nothing wrong with it, it's just been in the game for years and it hasn't sounded amusing or clever for a very long time.

Mike7077 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Your defender has a month of Sundays to reach the ball before opposition player would get there. Happily, he even runs at pace to reach the ball. But just as he gets there, he hits an invisible wall of treacle as he slows right up, allowing the opposition striker (who has clearly been trained to run at speed through invisible treacle walls) to steal a ball he had no right to win and, in all likelihood, score. Just to make it worse, the defender who cost you the goal will end up with a rating of about 8.5, as if nothing ever happened. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerhgrrrrrr Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 A/ Having to watch an injured player get treated and removed from the pitch (which takes several minutes and is not what I would call a "highlight". Hardly a big deal though. A much larger deal is, B/ How my high quality team can regularly put Favourites to the sword but if I mam favourite I struggle to not only win but get a result. I understand all about how underdogs park the bus and play on the counter and how my team must be patient & work openings - but as an example if Man Utd play Chelsea using a "Standard" mentality and win relatively easily it makes no sense that playing Fulham, Utd not only struggle to break down the opposition but struggle to get any result and suffer a number of testing attacks on goal (this scenario assumes both matches are played as either the home or away side). I know a lot of factors effect these situations but as a rule Favourite = win or draw, Underdog = Lose or draw, and that is clearly wrong. This last point is an FM gripe of a few years vintage, not sure FM12 is as bad as previous versions - time will tell, but there are signs that this is no different to previous years. Still a great game though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

THOG Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 When 2-on-1 against the keeper on the break, players will rarely make a simple pass to their strike partner for an easy, tap-in goal, even if their teamwork attribute is very high (18, in my most recent case).

Adelaidean Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 3-0 up in the 90th minute in the Blue Square North, opposition despondently passing the ball around at the back waiting for the final whistle under slight pressure from my forwards. Sloppy pass from opposition centre-back to his left-back results in a half-hearted footrace between him and my right-winger. Left-back gets there first, winger decides the time is ripe to charge in and scythe him down from behind, leading to an instant red card. Also, 7-1 win over an opponent in the BSN, absolute masterclass in skill and athleticism, one of the matches of the year for my team. Press conference afterwards: "<Opposition striker who scored the consolation goal at 5-0 down> scored a magnificent goal today, didn't he?" Well yeah, I guess... "He's a quality player, isn't he?" I suppose... "Great. What is your relationship with your chairman?" What? Good, I guess, but - "OK. Who do you tip to win the World Golden Ball?" Don't you want to ask me about the match? I'm one of the few who doesn't mind the press conferences - indeed, I find they add to the realism and are rather easy to negotiate if you know your players' personalities - so I find that sort of thing more amusing than annoying!

DanSpur Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Go to Gabby Agbonlahor, History and look at Career Stats. The dates aren't in order properly. Annoying. Similar to this, because of when the seasons reset in different countries i have players who have gone on loan and it looks like they went on loan to one club at the end of one season instead of ready for the beginning of the next one. Also i have players coming back from loan saying it was a waste of time and they didn't play, but you click on it and it says he did play but the season reset and he left at the start of the new one.

The North End Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Stupidly long / double names that would never both be on a players shirt eg. Ronaldo on the match screen saying Cristiano Ronaldo everytime he gets the ball. Can be rectified using the nickname function but then they always get called by their nickname. Arggghhhh!!! A 'shirt name' function would be ideal then it could stay up to date eg. when Pedersen went through that spell of putting Gamst on his shirt or Chicharito who could have that on his shirt but still be called Hernandez in the rest of the game.

We imploded and lost 4-1. It's so, so, so infuriating that you can't shout at them while they're cordially inviting the opposition into the back of the net. Four times. Having led at half time.

Dan.Morris24 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Score goal. Concede straight from the kickoff. Player retires at 22 rather than sign for my team. Defender runs towards his own goal chasing a loose ball, opposition striker hacks him down with a sliding challenge from the back, takes the ball and scores - no foul. Goalkeeper is set to make a quick throw to the nearest defender, but decides to punt it upfield to my midget midfielder instead. Alternatively, gk makes a quick throw to the defender, the defender plays it back to the gk who punts it upfield to my midget midfielder. Striker is clear on goal, has all the time in the world to place his shot or take the ball round the keeper, decides to blast it high and wide instead. Defender makes a sliding challenge on an opposition player, ball drops perfectly to a striker who is otherwise offside. I offer my promising youngsters on loan, no one is interested. This was happening to me, Other teams will only offer during the transfer windows. Even though the loan window is open. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed 100% on this on. It is one of the most annoying aspects of the game because this happens so rarely in real life and yet in the game, it happens dam near every time. Imagine if you are trying to grab a late win or draw and you are putting pressure on your opponent. You get a corner, this happens, and it kills your momentum immediately. I know that this ME isn't exactly the greatest when it comes to its on field and in match representation animations, but the single most annoying thing in the world today is when your world class striker is clean through on goal and he "decides" to shoot with his weaker foot.
