srvngrc Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 According to changelist nothing changed about crosses and offsides. There is a lot of threads about these problems at bugs forum. But SI didn't care. We waited for months and got nothing. Mods saying it's not possible to make major changes on ME. Actually it means wait a few months more and buy FM 17. This is not fair. I won't buy FM anymore. That's it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 This version isn't the first to have squad numbers, why did it break?Stop ridiculing people, realism is important for some users I was explaining the SI process for assessing which bugs get priority, there was no ridiculing of anyone & you will noticed that I used 'us' to include me in that group.

Administrators Neil Brock Posted March 4, 2016 Author Administrators Share Posted March 4, 2016 Additionally weird squad numbers in the Football League (loan players being assigned 50 something etc) has not been addressed. This patch is <deleted> absolutely blimming dreadful. Is there genuinely any point in reporting problems? It has been fixed but given it's a competitions and rule group fix you would need to start a new save for it to take effect.

santy001 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 As much as I love Paradox Interactive and their games TIR669, to get the full CK2 experience now it costs around £150. CK2 actually has a very good AI on the whole, but you can find brutal weaknesses in it and push them to your own advantage in a very similar way to how you can operate with the FM match engine too. The only suggestion for things happening in the ME which you feel shouldn't be is to keep uploading examples. As daft as it sounds, SI will generally say if they ever reach that point of there being too many examples for them to find useful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thejay Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I expect a playable game that is actually worth €50, in which, should I decide to play with WB and W roles, with TI's overlap&exploit the flanks, that not all goals (or 80% of them) will be scored from a cross made by my wingback. Which is exactly what's happening on 16.3. as well.Take a look at Paradox Interactive, the company SI can relate to, considering those two make the most complex simulations today. Paradox throws out patches quite often with tweaks being done and released on a monthly basis. This year I've seen something alike from you as well, with a lot of small patches coming out. However, their games are mostly flawless, whilst FM in almost every major update gets something done incorrectly, whether its the crossing issue some of you choose not to acknowledge while some are defending SI's decision to ignore it (thus acknowledging it), the injuries problem, the corners problem, the "GK catching a ball outside the box and getting a red card problem", and many many (MANY!) others that have occurred through the years/releases and remained there until a few months later when the patch would solve it. This year that wasn't the case and you are seeing two types of goals if you're not Cleon and watching preseason games on full isn't your thing (I've nothing personal, just saying): 1) two defenders vs opposing CM/AM/ST where the player with the ball dwells on it or runs with it until one of the defenders decides to break away and close him down, leaving a player unmarked. The ball is passed to the unmarked player and a goal is scored. D-line, formation, shape, TI/PI, roles/duties, OI, attributes, nothing makes a difference because it happens to everyone 2) random cross goal, and by random - I mean random. Whether it's the goal line 180 degree cross to the striker's head, or the fullback byline cross to the far post, where there appears to be almost no collision detection during the jump, results in a goal. That does not sound nor look playable to me because I'm scoring and conceding the same goal over and over again, regardless whether I'm playing with Barcelona against a non-league team in the Cup, or with a 2nd tier Faroese side, and most important of all - regardless of my tactic. Regarding this thread (and the previous one 20 pages long), entering a "cross" in the search bar on any page of it results in a 80 or more results. While I completely understand it's not remotely simple to fix it, seeing the same problem active as ever even 5 MONTHS after the release means to me you guys at Sports Interactive simply don't care enough. Meaning that these feedback threads are useless if you decide not to try and fix the issue because you feel you can only make it worse. And you expect me to give constructive feedback after all this? And for what? What did the last thread bring, with almost 2000 posts of feedback (useful or not), when there are only 5 (FIVE!) ME changes worth noting, two of which are also useless: (- Give more time at the end of the match when a team wins a competition - Fixed missing commentary for competition win at the end of a shootout) I'm utterly disappointed this time and this is the only way to express it, so I do apologize for the occasional off-topic. I do fully agree and feel the same way, especially because of the rigid patch schedule means this was the last patch for fm16. Maybe other people don't care but I play fm because of the realism and to try to make real life football concepts work in the game, with the current issues this is not really possible and makes fm16 basically worthless to me now.

Tony Wright 747 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 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. My fears have been realised, the issues with the ME were too complicated to fix in the update. The ME has been flawed since the re-write for FM13 with the 3rd patch for FM14 the best it's been. When I heard they were going to do a ME re-write for Fm13 I remember saying to a FM playing friend of mine that it will be FM18 before it's right and i dont think I will be far wrong. Of course every new tweak and animation will have a knock on effect, maybe SI need to be a little less ambitious with each release and get the basics right. I know they are oblicated to Sega to release a game every year and economics are involved in this but I can't beleive they are happy about realeasing a geme with the ME in this state. As I said in an earlier post I have been waiting for the update before I buy the full game, I think my money will be staying in my pocket and I will carry on playing FM12 and FM14 and see what 17 brings Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Feb 14th, 2012 there have been 4 new FM games - FM13, FM14, FM15 and now FM16, all of which started with €50 day one price. All CK2 games are up-to-date whereas there are no winter data patches for FM13 for example. Just a small digression there regarding the pricing. playing that set up which imo is unrealistic, where would you expect goals to come from?- i'd be amazed that they wouldnt in the main come from those areas......what team in real life plays like that? No one in real life tries to score from crosses coming from the sides? I expect to score lots of goals in the start but then I would like to see my opponents marking my full backs and wingers which should stop the high number of goals from crosses. That doesn't happen though, I keep on scoring (and conceding) from crosses until a random 6 match long poor form occurs (the one in which you can't score a goal but your opponents can), after which it's over and I'm scoring again.

ravenation Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Utter nonsense, SI continue to increase the level of investment in the main game. Yes, of course. Long term users writing long interesting fanbased articles are of no interest for Sports Interactive. That 60% of all goals come from crosses in the Scottish league are of no interest for Sports Interactive. Stop calling it a simulation game - the quality of the match engine have nothing to do with simulation. No matter what tactics you play, 60% of the goals in scottish league come from crosses. It doesnt matter if you play wide, narrow, through the middle. It is not simulation. I remember the first Football Manager from Commodore 64 and it is my clear impression, that the current match engine (except the graphics and a lot of thing you can change), are of no better quality in realism than one from the 80s. The crossing problem have been all over the community since FM16 was realeased and still no one bothered to invest time in doing something about it.

Huey Lewis Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Yes, of course. Long term users writing long interesting fanbased articles are of no interest for Sports Interactive.That 60% of all goals come from crosses in the Scottish league are of no interest for Sports Interactive. Stop calling it a simulation game - the quality of the match engine have nothing to do with simulation. No matter what tactics you play, 60% of the goals in scottish league come from crosses. It doesnt matter if you play wide, narrow, through the middle. It is not simulation. I remember the first Football Manager from Commodore 64 and it is my clear impression, that the current match engine (except the graphics and a lot of thing you can change), are of no better quality in realism than one from the 80s. The crossing problem have been all over the community since FM16 was realeased and still no one bothered to invest time in doing something about it. To be fair nobody cares a jot about anything to do with the Scottish league so I wouldn't get so worked up about it. It's obviously a simulation. If you don't like it, don't play the game. If you want to feedback, try and do it without coming across like you are, as it's doing no-one any favours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ac13 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Not sure what more can be said.SI acknowledged an issue SI spent time attempting to address the issue SI were unable to code a solution that they were satisfied with There was no middle ground that mitigated against the issue with causing issues elsewhere SI made a decision to leave things as are there, I assume because that was better than any of the other changes during testing. Do you want SI to make changes for the sake of making changes, or worse create some sort of placebo to trick you in to believing changes had been made? I expect your next post to be providing feedback on the game after spending time playing it, not a review on the changelist & SI's decision. The goalkeeping is still horrendous (it's not just the crossing which nothing was done about to complain about). Goalkeepers still save shots going way off target back into play. Also had Butland fumble an extremely tame prod towards goal straight back in front of him. Then a slide tackle from the striker moved the ball an inch or two closer to goal. Then my defender did a slide tackle of his own to slot it into the bottom corner. Total horrow show. That made it 1-1 in a game with 23 shots to 4, 7 shots on target to 1.
