SGAV Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I'm having an issue with promises. I signed Yaya Toure on a free in my second season with Villa on the condition I improve the coaching team, pay for his coaching badge, make him captain and assign him as our penalty taker. I've done all of those things but when I look at his information screen he's saying 'feels time is running out for club to find coaching course' and a similar message about the penalties. Will the coaching promise be satisfied once he's completed the course? Also, my team rarely get penalties but we've had a couple and he's scored them. Is there a certain number we need to get to before he stops banging on about it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've brought in 5 trialists (all of them unattached 17-year-olds; hey, I have an empty U19 team at them moment) so far in preseason. Each one, the media asks if it's possible they could end up as a first-team member. And five times now I've had to say "We don't know. That's why we've brought them in on trial." Which is bad for me, because in previous editions of FM I've had as many as a dozen players on trial with us at the same time. I've going to get seriously annoyed with the media. On a related note, I tend to start saves as American/unemployed/no badges/Sunday League. A couple of times, the media has asked me to comment on MLS coaches who are on the hot seat. Pretty sure IRL literally nobody would seek out my opinion in this scenario. Yeah it's a known issue. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashman Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Anybody else feel like it's too long-winded to get a player scouted until 'full knowledge'? Right now I want full knowledge of every player who looks interesting (I'm not just blanket scouting hundreds) and it would be nice if there was a single click on the first drop down to have my team (pool) do it for me. Incidentally, I have never once asked for videos to be included in these reports and I don't think I ever will - nice to have the option I suppose but must I uncheck the box and confirm every time?

Fabregas_04 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) Am I the only one finding the number of shots hitting the target ridiculously low? It seems to hover around 20% for me, and that's making the effort to work the ball into the box and reduce long shots. The fact that the woodwork thing still exists doesn't help, since in my last match I managed to hit the woodwork 6 times. I'm finding the number of goals scored not too bad, but I'd prefer that goalkeepers might make the odd save rather than everything other than goals being off target.

DxDiag.txt In previous versions the star ratings weren't that accurate and generally would view most machines as a bit overpowered. It's been tweaked now to be a bit more realistic - FM is a demanding game, so it won't process at split-second speeds. Best test is to just try it as it's difficult to know what you envisage '5 star' speed to be. It could well be the game runs absolutely fine from your perspective even when it's recommending 2 stars.

johnhughthom Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I've noticed that setting up the exact same game world can lead to different star ratings at different times.

GunmaN1905 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I think that you should completely remove the ratings if you can't fix them after all these years. Offensive contribution gives huge rating boost while defensive contribution does nothing. Goalkeepers get +7 ratings in games you win by more than 3 goals and where they didn't have to do anything. And in games where they save +10 shots on target and it ends 0-0, they rarely get over 7. Penalty saves aren't worth anything, either. How can defenders all have 6.8 or more in a game where you concede 3 goals from 10 shots? DM role for DM gets way worse ratings than BWM just because it's based on positional play and not running around like a headless chicken getting interceptions added to your stats. Fullbacks being best rated players on the team since forever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only roles which could compare to fullbacks over the past five games for me are strikers who score +40 goals and world class b2b midfielders on FM15. Having two fullbacks with avg ratings over 7.5 through the season is ridiculous. Especially when they're not even remotely close to being the best players on your team. You can literally exploit the game with fullbacks. Just keep reselling them for huge profit every season. Any decent fullback will do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhaffy Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Is the quality of the advice in the new Pre Match Tactical Advice report dependent upon the attributes of the coach you assign to it (possibly tactical knowledge, judging player ability) or is it like the new Sports Scientist/Data Analyst roles where attributes have no impact?

Ignats75 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Wow. Since I posted to whine about injuries, 8 pages have come and gone! I appreciate the non-snarky feedback some of you gave me. I accept that there has been no changes to the injury occurrences within the ME. So, Iaccept that dispite even more big injuries since then, I'll chock it up to bad luck. Feedback. I really like this ME overall (other than the injuries). There seems to be alot less "fat GK" moments (former Llamas will know what I mean). The players seems to have higher IQs now. THAT is a positive development. Looking forward to the official release. I would love to see a list of the final "fixes" post-BETA release. Will that be happening?

Nikopol Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 In my own experiences injuries are more common than last year, but they occur more often outside of matches.

puffascruffowitz Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I'm liking the variety of goals I'm seeing. Seems to be very well balanced. I was also very pleased when I had a forward get to the touch line just outside the goal mouth and actually PULLED IT BACK for a teammate to tap in. Used to be almost 100% of the time they'd fire away, ignoring wide open teammates. The only gripe is I'm still seeing countless times where a player makes a great run only to have a dreadful shot. I don't think in the past two years I've ever seen someone actually score after one of these runs. Not sure if anyone else feels the same. I get that it's very rare for a great solo goal IRL too, but I can almost ignore these runs as they never produce a goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my star players just moved from my team who finished 14th out of 18 teams in the German second division after being a shoe-in to get relegated, to the team who actually did get relegated from my division. His reason? Apparently they have a better squad to match his ambitions. To make it worse, the whole season his happiness remarks always said that he "wants to commit his future to the club", yet he would block every contract renewal attempt for the aforementioned reasons. This is happening to several of my players now, and it's really starting to kill the fun. Another smaller issue would be seeing my news items to find that i'd apparently had a bust-up with a player who now wants to leave, or is unhappy all of a sudden. I would really not like to be constantly hearing of this from the news items before i have a chance to do anything about it.

Ignats75 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Well. in my case for a couple of reasons. 1) There are alot of things that I might not like, but didn't consider big enough an issue to raise. To see that fixed would be a good thing. It would also demonstrate to those who constantly whine about SI not doing enough to fix the game, how wrong they are. 2) I'm not a professional gamer.

Ignats75 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Not necessarily. Dave. If its a smaller issue, not seeing it again doesn't mean it was fixed.

Here's another thing. I live in the USA, as you can see if you look at my profile. I am an officer in the local American Outlaws Chapter. I Am constantly proselytizing about how much better this game is than FIFA to my Outlaw brothers. Telling them to grow up and play an adult simulation, not an arcade game.

GSevensM75 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Still very early days for me but I'm cautiously optimistic. I'm finding it a tad too easy but then again I am playing as Spurs who finished 3rd last year so are pretty powerful this time around. And I've only played three competitive matches so it could all change! (Beat Man 4-2 at home, and Southampton (3-0) and Liverpool (3-1) away from home). Looking forward to getting started in the Champion's League..... Biggest gripe I have is the ratings/stats not reflecting what I see in the match engine but this is something that has been happening for versions now so I guess I'll have to wait until the match engine is completely re-vamped to fix it. I just personally witnessed Alderweireld make four absolute defensive howlers against Liverpool and pick up a 7.6 rating. In reality each of his howlers let Liverpool through with great chances to score but fortunately Firminho missed an open goal and Strurridge couldn't hit a barn door. Interestingly it states that Liverpool had three CCC to score in the match but visually they definitely had more than that! The other issue I have is that you still need a ridiculous amount of coaches where most Premier League teams in real life only have three or four. But again I appreciate that is probably a massive change in the game as its been that way for a few versions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game 5 - Goals in 59th, 61st, 63rd. Game 6 - Goals in 45th, 45+1. Game 9 - Goals in 43rd, 45th. Game 11 - Goals in 82nd, 84th. Game 17 - Goals in 30th, 31st. Game 18 - Goals in 10th, 12th. Game 21 - Goals in 52nd, 54th. Game 22 - Goals in 42nd, 44th. Game 23 - Goals in 1st, 3rd (and 6th). Game 25 - Goals in 1st, 3rd. Game 28 - Goals in 23rd, 24th. Game 32 - Goals in 19th, 21st. Game 36 - Goals in 29th, 31st & 58th,61st. My other saves would have similar numbers as i noticed it as a theme on the first save.
