HUNT3R Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 If I had to ask users here how they'd fix crosses, I'd get different answers from everyone and most would be completely wrong. It's not a simple fix to adjust wide play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Not saying it is. I have high expectations of this game though (which have come from the standards of previous versions) and seeing what's been a big problem for me and many others, not being fixed is disappointing.Will play a few games anyway, maybe it's been fixed and they've just decided not to tell us (that's the hope anyway). When it comes to the ME thinking of one single aspect as being 'Fixed' will always lead to disappointment, it's such a fluid element of the game that even changes which appear minor & of no apparent connection to other parts of the engine can help improve the overall experience. Play is the only way to assess, a changelist will never do that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HUNT3R Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 For those struggling with crosses, getting your D-Line right is important. We have a general tendency to have D-lines too high, leaving too much space (while not pressuring the crosser enough) leading to issues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siebi Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I also had no Problems with the crosses. At least i wouldn't say they're unrealistic. I mean in RL the teams also score a lot Goals after crosses... https://www.whoscored.com/Regions/252/Tournaments/2/Seasons/5826/Stages/12496/TeamStatistics/England-Premier-League-2015-2016 so how about trying out the update first and maybe complain afterwards?

thejay Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 As Hunter has said, this is supposed to be a feedback thread for the update. If you want to raise feedback, please actually try the update first before making assumptions and criticising us for what we supposedly have and haven't done. Many thanks. Whats the point of feedback when the most important issues of the match engine are apparently impossible to fix, might as well use this threat to write random things.

Look through 16.2 feedback thread and then I'll respect your opinion when you say it's all fine. But enough with the useless talk from me.

Golden Boot Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 MASSIVELY disappointed with the news that the awful crossing exploit has not been addressed. I will play a season on FMC over the weekend and then provide my honest opinion of the game next week. However, I simply cannot believe how little appears to have been done to fix the match engine. Massive, massive let-down. I do think, however, that we all need to play a few games at least before criticising/praising the game too much. I'm still hoping by some miracle the game has actually become entertaining after the update. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paolo di Canio Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 A quick way to check if the crossing issues have been solved is simulating half a season with the 4 main european leagues loaded with full details, and check the best assistmen. if you find fullbacks with an insane number of assists, you know something is wrong.

thejay Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 No one said it's not possible to fix. Take my advice above though. It may just help. What advice ? there are obvious issues with wide play and goals scored from wide and defending out wide. Fullbacks consistently are the highest rated players for me and the ai team regardless of actual ability and productivity. Pretty much obvious that something is not right here. Its not the job of the players to find out how to fix these issues or balance them better, feedback has been provided more than enough. I understand that its not an easy thing to fix,but that after waiting so long for the patch, absolutely nothing has been done to balance these issues better is more than disappointing.

fmfan74 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Well that is gutting. Not giving me much hope in terms of expectations of fm17 now either. Disappointed to see a problem brought in during one of the updates not to be fixed. That's more than half a year with a very big problem in terms of the balance of how goals are scored Firstly thank you to SI games and all the staff involved to get the patch out. I would have to agree with Robert on this one. I've spent countless hours finding faults and uploading them with every requirement asked out of SI games. Again for the second season straight I'm not totally satisfied to see the match engine not getting major corrections done on it given the many amounts of errors spotted and agreed by SI games to be fixed. I know they will eventually get around it some time. Again i as many others have to be forced into playing a product that requires many fixes. I don't expect all issues to be solved but i would have thought the most important would have been dealt with especially the issue i raised about the 3D match engine collision detection. How do i feel now about that knowing it has not be dealt with and I will have to keep playing until FM17. I hope you read my post on that and clearly see how bugged that is and tell me I am suppose to put up with that being beaten for the next release. Seriously I just can't see myself playing this game knowing that bug hasn't been fixed it just makes me feel i'm wasting my time. Sorry i'm just a bit let down at the moment. I believe most of us were expecting a bit more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a general tendency to have D-lines too high, leaving too much space (while not pressuring the crosser enough) leading to issues." How does a deeper defensive line reduce the fullback rating or make players defend crosses better? A higher defensive line should make you more vulnerable to balls played in behind the defense and counter attacks. The crossing issue from my observations seems to have something to do with teams defending and attacking too narrow , crosses being too accurate and defenders not being able to deal with them. Against it not really my job to find out exactly why this issues occur, just to point them out. When you consistently see fullbacks with 8+ ratings from ai teams and me teams as well, its pretty obvious that something is not right. Again I understand that its a balancing issue and difficult to get right, but that this long awaited patch does not even address this issue at all is just baffling.

kandersson Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Might be wishful thinking, but I feel there's much less of those pinpoint, switch flank passes that any player seemed capable to execute from any zone of the pitch in previous patches - this was my main issue with ME, not the crossing itself.

We have a general tendency to have D-lines too high, leaving too much space (while not pressuring the crosser enough) leading to issues." Well my experience with 16.2 was exactly the other way around. Tons of conceded goals from crosses if I didn't press high and tried to soak up pressure instead, even with 2 relatively defensive minded players on a wing. I'm obviously disappointed this apparently hasn't been addressed, although I want to play for a while before giving proper feedback, and I understand why they wouldn't want to touch it if they couldn't properly balance the ME otherwise. I've always suspected this was a very deep issue with so many subtle causes and ramifications it was far from a quick fix... On the plus side, I've now finally worked out how to work around 16.2 pretty successfully, so don't need to adjust my tactics. It's a shame I'm not playing at all like I prefer to play though, and after many seasons of frustrating tweaking have ended up with something that's more suited to the ME than suited to my footballing philosophy.
