ArseFly Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Is the saving quicker if you start a new game vs beta game? Still feeling that the save takes way longer than in 14. But as I started the save in beta, it might be sorted already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

santy001 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 The goals scored from crosses seems to be reduced now which is a good change (even though it destroyed my tactic before I had chance to have a record breaking season and get to post in the records thread!) but the manner in which its done doesn't look too realistic, so far at least. It seems the crosses can & will still be pinged in with the same abundance as before, and players will still get on the end of them with relative ease but the keeper will then pull off a fantastic save. On another note, there does seem to be more of a distinction between teams with good technical players and those with not so good technical players, before I was seeing most teams in games I was involved in, averaging around 350-400 passes per game and about a 75% completion rate, since the change I noticed almost immediately that the passing of the team I was using (Man Utd) going up to around 500+ passes per game and accuracy between 82-86% while other teams were seeing their success rates drop down to around 70% or less.

ketoth Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Question about the hotfix: "Some instances of parrying the ball into goal" "Not kicking the ball quickly when being closed down" Does this mean the above will never happen ever again? Because, you know, keepers do make those mistakes. Rare as they are, but they happen. I set my players to close down the keeper in hope of at some point nicking the ball off him, which does happen from time to time, like Alexis Sanchez against Sunderland. There have been instances where keepers parry the ball into their goal too, like Rob Green at the 2010 world cup against USA. Do the changes mean keepers will never make these mistakes again?

Guest El Payaso Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 The flanks are quite a bit better now yes, not perfect but better. Now what should be done is the midfield area where there is too much time and space to pass and keep hold of the ball. Only played two games with the update so far but seeing loads of attacking build-ups where team combine 10-20 short passes with slow tempo through the midfield and it ends up in a scoring chance or at least shot. Dispossessions in midfield area are still far too rare and it still seems like a playground (yeah said this a million times but still...). Corners still seem to be threatening all the time.

ManagerFootball Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I have played the DEMO and I have to say what have you done to this game? Why have you messed up the tactical screen so much. Its not any better than last year, its far far worse and annoying. You have also made some things two-clicks now instead of the one click they used to be. How is that an advancement? Do you guys even know how annoying it is to have to get to grips with a new lay out every single year, and this is by far the worst iteration you have done. I can't personally tell you anymore because after 1 match I give up already, I just wish you guys would offer a database upgrade for 2014 for £9.99. I'm sorry I cannot buy this game this year. Its a mess and you guys are in need of some competition by the looks of it. This is the first FM game in nearly a decade in which I can say is terrible and that is a shame. I'm shocked at how bad it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoesalesman Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Yes same here,the green bar gets to 3/4 of the way full and hangs for 2-3 minutes. Same for me. And with starting a new game in FM15 with first save it takes longer to save the game than my 10 years career in FM14. The final third of saving takes 2-3 minutes while at the beginning it is like 20-30 seconds.

Abaddon879 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 A first feedback of the ME: - the build up is really nice, various and quite realistic, but... - defending is ridicolous - long shooting is ridicolous (both under a frequency point of view and an accuracy point of view) - goolkeeping is quite bad, expecially against long shoots - set pieces are too effective as usually - all the above result in unrealistic scores... Overall, a 6+ vote for the current ME version... Sounds like that was with the previous 15.1.1 version? Or are you saying that about 15.1.3? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BA Brandonio Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I refuse to believe the players would behave the way they do at times. I started with Colwyn Bay and in the first chat with my players I tell them we have enough about us and should aim for mid-table at least this season (battle against relegation is predicted), most of them reject this idea and turn against me saying I am unrealistic. Surely players in real life wouldn't react to a new manager giving them a confidence boost? Possibly if you get a small club to the Premier League but this is the Conference North, anything could happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite surprised to hear that Neil. Before this hotfix the save bar would go up to about 75% and hold there for about 45 seconds and then it would finish saving. Now the save bar goes up to about 10% and holds there for about 40 seconds and then goes to about 75% and holds there for about 45 seconds and then finishes saving, it certainly appears to be slower than before, before the hotfix it was also slower than in previous FMs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
