jam jameson Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 1) Kriss doesnt work for SI.2) It is what it is. This is a BETA, and sometimes things dont always go to plan. 3) It will be fixed, when it is fixed. There really is no more specific answer to that, I'm afraid ...I'm sorry but I do not agree with your answer...I do not think that this beta is broken and the ME is bad, i really appreciate it (and appreciate the whole game) even if it could be improved...but I do not think that people who think differently deserve such an answer... in a normal world, since I pay my game on the very first release day (or before if I've pre-ordered it), I pretend the game is running and ok on the very first release day...it's a market rule, anything different would be a fault, not only for a PC game but for every product on the market...so I'm a bit surprised to read that 'it will be fixed when it is fixed'...

srvngrc Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I may just be paranoid but sometimes I feel that when I tell my players to pass short, they are literally kicking the ball with less power. Meaning sometimes the ball falls short of reaching the player. As if, "well you wanted a short pass, so I'm only kicking it 5 metres, even though the team mate is 6 metres away!" +1 This is an annoying issue. And when wingers pass the ball to the penalty area all shots are going to goalkeeper's hands or out from near the posts. In beta i really didn't see a goal from an organised attack.

JR866Gunner Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Bids are coming in very low but they can be negotiated up to a more realistic price. As people have already said we're aware of the issue, but do bear in mind it's only the initial bids which are low and not the highest amount the AI will go. Maybe Arsene Wenger has been helping out with the AI transfer engine?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switters Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Don't know if this was mentioned but some AI teams are really lousy in keeping their world class potential newgens. I've already sign two free transfer newgens in January with 4 1/2 - 5 star ratings, with an already decent abilities. These are youngsters that can immediately be backups to my first team. And I've sign a couple more dirt cheap. Again with very clear potential. It'd be too easy to build a team full of world class prospects within 3-4 seasons. Also there are way too many 16-18 y.o newgens with good abilities and 5 star ratings in the game. Is this so AI teams could compete with human team in the long term?

Atytse Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Hey SI team, thanks again for the hard work leading to the release. I'm still a bit worried since we are so close to a release version but I am still seeing quite a few bugs here and there. Enough to make it an annoying experience. And I've not been slacking, I believe throughout the beta phase, I have reported close to 30 bugs on my own with full Pkms and saves (feel free to check threads started by me). My question is whether we will still see frequent patches after the actual release. The worst thing possible is that you guys go into a 3 months cadence before releasing any new patches. That would be sad. Finally, I know we are about a day away from the release build. Would be great if you could go over some of my threads in depth. I believe there are tons of good information there to solve some last minute fixes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SI Staff PaulC Posted October 30, 2013 SI Staff Share Posted October 30, 2013 Quick update from the ME side: Firstly, thanks for all who have posted constructive feedback and provided examples. Relating to the next ME update, as yet we have no date set and tomorrow will roll out with 1426. Some comments below: Player ratings - We believe them to be improved from the previous build but are aware that the low starting points can cause anomalies. This will be tuned for the next ME update. No of goals - Agreed it is too high in some divisions and yes this will be looked at too. I will post some detailed stats from ME1426 shortly btw. Long shots - While generally I don't think they are too high on average it does appear that some setups produce a number of unrealistic ones. Being looked into. Tackles - There are actually too many in the current ME, particularly from Full Backs. Read into that what you will. I believe we need to improve the abilities of defending players to prevent shots/crosses etc through body position and tactical fouls rather than sliding tackles. This will not necessarily be nailed in one update. Note also there is no surety that the way we count tackles, interception, dribbles etc matches 100% with the real world stats by Opta, etc. Keeper distribution - there is no guarantee a keeper will pass short if he feels its too risky. We have seen this working fine internally but any examples of it not working will be logged and looked at for an update. Finishing - Currently slightly high shots on target ratio in 1426 and this area is always a work in progress. Cheers, Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Äktsjon Männ Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Tackles - There are actually too many in the current ME, particularly from Full Backs. Read into that what you will. I believe we need to improve the abilities of defending players to prevent shots/crosses etc through body position and tactical fouls rather than sliding tackles. This will not necessarily be nailed in one update. I'd agree with that (though I've only played a small number of matches on the demo.) I like that the focus is on improving the defensive shape and tactical defending instead of everything being reliant on tackling. The way defenders react to the ball in FM14 is far superior to FM13 imo so thumbs up for that. I think the biggest challenge though is the fact that the ME doesn't really account for physicality. An absolutely huge aspect of defending IRL is the use of strength and physical size to dominate smaller opponents but I don't think the ME can really use these attributes effectively apart from including them in the calculations that determine the outcome of a tackle. That's why I've always said the ME needs tackling to be overpowered. Hopefully you can overcome this in future updates. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themoffster Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 (27.06+29.06+28.48)/3=28.2 Do you not think that nearly 30 shots a match on average across those three leagues is too high? I personally think that it's the best ME ever (I not played the demo that much - demo, not early beta). Can you please improve defenders though - they've been neglected for too long now for attacking play. It makes a good robust defensive tactic very, very hard to play with.

Butters76 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 ME wise the current beta and the release day version is the same. Not sure on other areas. But you are still working on it right? There are still some issues like attakers trying to buy corners when they clearly should pass or shoot.They are very fond of corners. General better awareness, sometime its like they don't know where the ball is (when not in possession). And better at spotting great passing options for playmakers instead of the safe pass. Get the windows to remember your team, not follow home team or away team. (not really ME though) But the ME is in much better shape than last years release and last years turned out fantastic by the time you were done with it. So I have faith this year will be even better.

Bambel Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Hey, I'm going to freak out on FM14... I've got no clue about those roles I can choose from. I really would like to see a proper instruction about the tactic-system and how it works. (Including Player-Roles, Team-/Player-Instructions) It seems to be impossible to get all information on your own about those. And I really think It shouldn't be like this - at least I'm not willing to spend hours and hours again just to understand the specific roles and instructions until I'm finally able to start a proper Save-game... (I stopped playing the beta and I'm really frustrated, even after 50 hours of playing I didn't get the difference between an Engache and a Trequarista or a Anchor man and a Half back. Since I did well on FM 2011-2013 I don't think I'm too stupid for FM14... But getting fired on the Beta over and over again after not suceeding during the first quarter of the season - mainly because Tactics weren't working - I tried out a lot and nothing really worked -> cuz i didn't understand the roles/instructions (...) Since i'm getting fired over and over again I even can't try out enough to get a proper understanding and that just sucks. All I want is to play, not to figure out how the system works and beat It with a lucky punch... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajw10 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 The current ME is the one that will be there for release date? That is worrying. Very worrying indeed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Govnar1 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Tackles - There are actually too many in the current ME, particularly from Full Backs. Read into that what you will. I believe we need to improve the abilities of defending players to prevent shots/crosses etc through body position and tactical fouls rather than sliding tackles. This will not necessarily be nailed in one update. Note also there is no surety that the way we count tackles, interception, dribbles etc matches 100% with the real world stats by Opta, etc. Could you tell us SI's definitions and counting method as stat are pretty much useless without it! What is the use of numbers if we don't know what they stand for exactly? How does number of possessions (team and player) per game compare to real life? I would like this stat included in game it would allow pace adjustment of other stats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
milnerpoint Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Hey,I'm going to freak out on FM14... I've got no clue about those roles I can choose from. I really would like to see a proper instruction about the tactic-system and how it works. (Including Player-Roles, Team-/Player-Instructions) It seems to be impossible to get all information on your own about those. And I really think It shouldn't be like this - at least I'm not willing to spend hours and hours again just to understand the specific roles and instructions until I'm finally able to start a proper Save-game...

Should help you out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
