Boss Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Wondering if anyone can shed any light on something that has been a grievance of mine over the past few editions of FM, and that is a teams passing stats. I've always struggled to understand how elite teams (Barca, Bayern etc) only ever manage around 180-320 completed passes per game. This is clearly so different to the sort of stats they post regularly IRL - is this due to limitations in the AI management of the match engine? As I regularly get 600+ passes per game with my sides. Another thing that I'm struggling to understand is the difference between completed passes stats in different leagues during different games, i.e.: I started 2 separate games, both on the same DB, both loading same leagues - one game with Brentford and one with Ajax. In the Brentford game, Championship sides regularly get around 300-400 completed passes per game, Eredivisie sides get lower at around 150-250 (inc Ajax). However, in the Ajax game I'm seeing the reverse, so all Eredivisie sides are getting 400+ completed passes per game, whereas Championship sides are getting a lower amount at around 120-190 - Can anyone explain why there is a difference?

That would be because the countries you're not managing in won't be running in full detail, unless you manually select it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eriktous Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 That does look like an indication that something needs to be tuned in either the ME or the modelling of non-simulated matches. Ideally those statistics should look similar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok I get that, but why then do these 'big' European clubs average way higher passing stats in the CL? I'm not managing in that but they average 200 passes or so higher per game.

Had never thought of this so will check it out thanks! Will it add much processing time if I add these leagues as full detail? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be up to you to decide if the speed is right or not. Personally, I load all leagues and switch the top 2 divisions to full detail, so I'm the wrong person to ask.
