Scotty Walds Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Talking about statistics, whilst it appears more reliable overall, I still wouldn't trust the CCC stat either. Unless the goal and the six yard box is a completely vacant spot (it wasn't): How can finishes from such impossible angles be classed as CCCs (green dots of player 18 and 14)? A 'chance' is not necessarily the shot on goal. You could be one on one with the keeper, no defenders in sight, but overrun the ball when rounding the keeper. A clear cut chance? Yes. Have you checked the replays for what happened? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanessinha Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Positive feedback is still feedback, right? I think SI showed incredible dedication and devotion to their customers by releasing the hotfix while they clearly intended 15.2 to be the last patch before the holidays. After playing another season, the new match engine has really grown on me. The initial impression I had that it played poorer than 5.1.4 all but vanished - the only remaining concern for me is finishing, which I believe is still poorer than it should be on clear chances, and some incredibly talented goalkeeping. But the football played is more varied, interplay is great, and I think it's much more responsive to tactical changes, which is a great thing. Overall I'm loving FM 15 and having a great time with the game! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've worked for a few companies who put on code freezes in early December so that nothing would go wrong when - potentially at least - a lot of staff were out on holidays over the festive period. Would've been easy enough for SI to pack up and just work on future stuff, but good to see they took a few of the issues that were annoying people and fixed them.

Defensive Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 The major problem (and probably the only major one left, now that crosses have been reduced to their real life efficiency IMO) of FM 15 is - still - the total amount of created chances and / or shots. This is since ever the source of the biggest FM-player unhappiness: An awful conversion rate, superkeepers and "I've had 50 shots, my opponent only 2, they won 0-3". I think everyone would agree. If the amount of goals is more or less the same as real life, you will necessarily have an awful conversion rate if the amount of shots exceed real life numbers (which, I think, are less than 10 per team on average). Simple math. So as long as there will be too many shots created, the game HAS to have noticeable divergencies with real life football, which in turn is of course the source of unhappiness with FM-players.So the absolutely primary focus for the match engine developers should be improving the defence Best post in this thread. Its a shame nobody agrees with you because you nailed it. Lets hope at least the developers are reading this. You are describing the exact problem and what they should do.

Lets hope at least the developers are reading this. You are describing the exact problem and what they should do. To be fair though, the developers almost definitely know exactly where the ME needs to improve. It's the "how" that is the problem. It's easy saying "improve defence", but a hell of a lot harder to make the code fixes needed to do that without changing something elsewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sussex Hammer Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Just had a penalty shootout and couldn't continue to the shootout after picking my takers.

Hit the bar twice and Chelsea scored all of theirs although difficult to see as most balls bounced out of the net!! Still can't pick a tactic in the match screen via dropdown menu.

Is there a way to strengthen defensively while waiting for a new patch? I play a relatively defensive strategy and formation (4 at the back, 2 DM in front of the defense) but I regularly get 20+ shots against me. I get my fair share of shots as well and I still manage to keep a clean sheet so the results are not really a problem. But I just can't see my strategy implemented in the game which is to frustrate the opposition and to nick minor wins (I am the underdog in most of the games). I was successful in all previous versions in doing (even in 15.1.4) but now I do not like this ping-pong games with so many attacks/shots on goal.

I found that simply having 2 DMs does not do much, or is not enough. If you are getting carved open through the middle and lets say the AI is using 2 strikers, try assigning one of the DM as half-back, this would allow them to drop deeper when defending and hopefully stop the through balls that are getting past your centerbacks.

For me that message should be shown to a basement club getting ready for another trouncing. I get it shown usually in the run-up to Champions League qualifiers, and the only reason I'm in those is because I'm dominant domestically. My fans are hardly miserable.

daylight Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I think the thing that gets me the most is my assistant is agreeing with the press, I highly doubt any manager/assistant would be saying that we need a miracle or that we still have a very small chance given the position we are in. I see things like this crop up from time to time with my assistant and it does bug me a little as it takes away the gloss from what should have been a great win, I know I am just getting too involved with the 'game'.
