Shake Appeal Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Just a note on the above quote; the avg ratings are not directly linked to the player development. This might have been the case back in the CM days but for most of the FM era there have been no direct links between a players average rating and the development of his CA. Obviously in some ways the ratings can indirectly affect things like morale, happiness etc. which in turn can have a more direct effect on player progression, but the averag ratings on their own are not directly connected to player progression. But they do affect how the AI assesses value and builds teams, right? If nothing else, looking at the top players in a given division and seeing 25/30 of them being central defenders is bonkers for a game that prides itself as a simulation.

SI Staff Ben Kenney Posted October 23, 2013 SI Staff Share Posted October 23, 2013 Fourth person concurring...please sort this. It's ruining lower league managing experience.I wouldn't say everyone wants key player. But I had a substitute with av rating 6.76 only play handful of games on £500 a week request £3,600 a week :-\ wages in lower league definitely need toning down ESP. German 3rd division. I only play football manager for the euro academy challenge, so it's the vital part of my gaming experience. However kudos on the new look match engine - it's making the matchday experience much more enjoyable :-D If you could upload a save game that shows some examples of this then that would be great.

Raymond85 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I have played some matches with the updated beta now and this is my opinion on how the match engine changed: -defensive play sees pumped up (other than the known issue on defender's ratings), to a point that defence seems an overpowerd part of the game. this causes transition plays from defensive situations to active offensive maneuvers to be extremely ineffective. And as a consequence offensive open play looks highly ineffective too, as the opposition always manages that great tackle that stops build up to a chance. I find that many games come with a close scoreline despite the number of CCC's or other chances (usually 1-0 or 2-1), and most of the goals come from set pieces. Anyone else experience the same thing or is it just me? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bianconeri96 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Posted in different data or League threads , the following issue has not been addressed in 14.0.3. When starting a new game ( let's say Spain for example ) in the "Choose team to manage" , newly promoted Villareal is predicted to finish 5th and Sevilla 14th. Should be the other way round. Same for the French league, where you find "Stade de Reims" predicted to finish 7eme ( should be bottom five ) and OGC Nice 19th ( should be first part of the table ) Or in the Italian league where Udinese is predicted to finish 16th ( should be first part of the table ). I haven't check all leagues, but it seems these inaccurate predictions are affecting multiple leagues. I am not sure if it would affect the game play or if these are just indicators with no influence on clubs expectations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raniel3 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Some new input regarding the match ratings: It seems like the problem is the tackling statistic. You can see that by looking at any ball-winning midfielder (that is high tackling and aggressiveness, just look at the tackling per game statistic player overview for your league), they ALL have an average rating between 7.2 and 7.8, even if their team is bottom last and they can't do anything else than tackling. So maybe the match rating problem could already be solved by dramatically reducing the impact of won (key) tackles on the match rating? Defenders will still have an acceptable rating because they do a lot of tackles and win most of them, but they won't be world class anymore unless they intercept well, head well and pass well too. Either that, or you have to dramatically reduce the amount of tackles... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomMcEvoy Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I'm not sure if this is a bug or whether this how the individual player instructions is meant to work so I thought I'd post here first. First I notice that in the 14.0.3 update, on the player instruction screen the tactic switch drop down now works properly. So thank you for that. However I am still unable to set different roles the same player on a tactic by tactic basis. For example I have set up a 3-1-2-3-1 formation, and for the DM position I have given Michael Carrick personal instructions to play as a Regista and for when Marouane Fellani plays there, he is to be a defensive midfielder. But for the more moderate 3-1-4-1-1 formation when I want Carrick to play there I want him to be a half-back, and Fellani to be an anchor man. Yet I can't change the role for this tactic without it changing the roles set for the other tactic. Like I said, not sure whether this is a bug, or whether this is just the nature of individual player instructions part of the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
