jtblanks Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Just finished my first match after updating. Hope this is a one-off thing but my Dortmund side just beat Dusseldorf 8-0 with 4 goals coming from free kicks (and I don't have a set piece specialist). Up to this point I think I had seen 3 free kick goals in about 20 total seasons across 3 saves. Apart from that I'm pleased. Immediately noticed some of the changes that had been most frustrating (i.e. players dribbling into the byline and hanging a left/right and running straight at the keeper instead of passing to one of the many usually open options) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

zolwik Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Well after patch something strange happened to me - I got sacked. I was 13 in Ligue 1 after 10 matches (expectations to qualify to european cups), and I was second in champions league group after 3 matches. I finished last season at 2nd place, and club was in perfect financial condition. I checked patience of my chairman in fmrte - it is 10, so not bad. I know 13th place is not perfect, but I were in far worse positions and nothing so drastic happened. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

^Goose^ Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Some people are certainly over-reacting (i'm looking at you Saladin) but I do think there are too many people thanking SI as if they've done us a big a favour by releasing this patch. I think its fair to say that most people here paid good money many months ago for FM13 and were entitled to expect a finished product, not a work in progress. I personally think that EA type business model of releasing a new version version each year is harming the game. If it were a two-year cycle i'd like to think that each new version would be a finished, polished product that provided value for money to the consumer. Instead, we have to buy the game, wait months for it get fixed and only then can we enjoy it for the remaining months before the next version is released.

Apos Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Good thing to know that I'm stuck with lobotomized goalkeepers. QUOTE]My keeper keeps getting MOM since the update (3 times in 11 matches) he looks really good in 3D too so I'd at least give it some game time before rushing to a conclusion. There might be things you can do to improve him, though mine's on default settings. I provided an actual video with my statement. My goalkeeper rushed out, then said "sod it" and just stood there until the AI striker scored. I don't care whether your keeper gets PoM. My GK is on default as well and he did this, something that should absolutely never happen. (and also something that cost my promotion, but that's the least important thing here.)

South-Side Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I do not understand how every time a update appears, tactics are rendered useless. Defenses became better, opposition keepers as well. But the wingers running free wasn't. I'll admit no goals came of it but it's stupid to see the player running parallel to the opposition one and not try to block or foul him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Casa De Munson Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Man this is so much more fun. I played at home to United and chose a Defensive strategy with more direct passing so I could counter attack and a weird thing happened, my team played defensively and scored 2 goals on the counter attack!

Bobble2002 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 3 full games in 3d watching them and whilst i can see some changes there are still things that do not seem right 1) Goalkeepers are still worse than useless . First game we won 6-0 with only 7 shots actually on target and the opposition goalie only dived once and that was a penalty . Still too statuesque at corners and free kicks 2) Throw ins still being thrown regularly to the opposition 3) For me still too many attempts by players to win throw ins or corners off the opposition . My wide players still run a lot with the ball but now instead of trying to get down the bye line like they are set to they constantly cut in and shoot although that has led to them scoring 5 goals between them in the three games My striker has finally scored with a header from a cross ball after 23 games of the season Won all three games easily (1 at home 2 away) which maybe means my tactics suit this version more than the others Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sussex Hammer Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I must say this seems a big step in the right direction. It's great that (for both teams) moves break down and then another breaks down rather than the previous Basketball like one end to the other routine usually ending with a long mazy run and a long shot!! My keeper did make a right howler that gifted a goal but,,,, it looked like a legitimate howler if you get my meaning. Like something that could happen rather than just a bizarre entity with no rhyme or reason to it. Players lose the ball, misplace passes and there are some great goal mouth scrambles but again there seems to be a football logic to it rather than bug's or poor coding. The game generally plays like a football match. Although I am writing this after a 4-0 away win at Everton with a basic classic tactic with 80% of instructions straight down the middle so happy days for now at least!!! The only thing I could slightly criticise is that at times engagement by players is a little slow. Example. A midfielder breaks yet my midfielder jogs behind him and then engages with a short burst of speed. It generally happens through the middle but I'll keep an eye on it and reassess my marking and closing down settings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdsampson Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 15 games so far and overall seems pretty good. One thing which seems odd is that so far I've not seen a single goal from the winger taking it to the byline and crossing in. Plenty from crosses level with the edge of the box and a few from deeper, plenty from through balls, corners and a few from free kicks but not one from a byline cross. I play 4-4-2 and both my wingers are set to stick to the touchline and cross from the byline so this seems a bit odd. Anyone else notice this?

He misjudges the angle and gets there second. Only issue is he fails to readjust properly (should be making a despairing dive left), which for me is merely animation. He's not going to get to the ball and it will be scored, so it is cosmetic rather than a structural problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

drhay53 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 The funny thing about the game is that when players make mistakes, it's an ME problem. I keep thinking about various EPL games just in the last week, and thinking "Hart doing something that dumb would be called an 'ME bug'". Players make mistakes and sometimes they're monumentally dumb. How often it happens is the key point with respect to the ME, not whether or not it ever happens at all. Keepers come out and get there too late all the time in real life. If it never happened in FM, I'd be upset. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnhughthom Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 To be honest, I don't really see a difference between a me issue and an animation issue.

tts0 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 This is almost certainly the last ME update for FM2013, but there is a data update to come including non ME fixes in a few weeks.

He tries to get there for the bounce but doesn't make it and is made to look stupid. Keeper error as a result of a great ball. There's no way this is a bug outside of animation. I'd stop going on about it if I were you. I'd be far more worried about how square my defence was and the general lack of bodies in midfield than focusing on the keeper just failing to get to the through ball.

RTHerringbone Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 After ten games, I'm getting a reasonable feel for the changes. It is clearly more combative, which results in a more realistic flow to the game; possession changes hands now after breakdowns in play, rather than after another successfully completed attacking phase as in the previous build. Tackling is far more effective, and I am seeing a correlating increase in the number of fouls, cards and injuries, but nothing untoward in my small sample of games. Another consequence of the changes appears to be more frenetic penalty box action with set pieces; gone are the crowding issues at set pieces of the last build, replaced instead with good last ditch tackles and acrobatic saves. Shots overall appear to have been adjusted South, and I'm seeing fewer long shots (good), more sliced bad shots (good, I want to see mistakes) and generally less bad shot selection (good). I've seen goals from all sorts of scenarios, but do wonder if the effectiveness of wing play may have been tuned down too much, but that could just be because I'm used to how over effective it was in the last build.

OK, I guess it's normal for keepers to mark players. Makes sense, I expect Fergurson to start using such keepers in the near future. I'm tired of the fanboy-ism. If everything is player error, then I'll go back to FM12 where my players "miraculously" didn't so such errors. Now if that makes sense, right?
