Penalties are totally broken. Started a save on 19.1 ive had 7 penalties and missed the lot.

Pens are fine for me... have played 7 or 8 seasons and never felt there's an issue in 19.0 or 19.1

Just checked and I have scored 9/12 in all my FM 19 saves.  Sounds about right to me.

Measurement error. Too small a sample size. Anyobdy playing FM is urged to understand this

Or you may make the mistake of overspending on Junuzovic, based on that he had like 400% the record as Ronaldo from the free kick spot in the 2014/2015 season (not scored a thing since, and not for lack of trying). Or sell the entire lot of Messi, Neymar, et all, who in between 2015 and 2016 recorded two subpar penalty conversion seasons for Barca in a row (as conversely to public perception, player skill doesn't make THAT hugely big a difference -- an idea which the game seems to suscribe to some).

And I am talking serious.

Unsure where to post this, but why do I, Arsenal, not have full knowledge of a player who transferred out in the summer?

Think that using Juve I have some unknown stats even for Buffon that I think we should know pretty decently :p

Thank you for the statistics lesson and forgive me if I haven't read you very informative long article.  I am very much aware of sample sizes, but since FM is only just out and I havent played that many games, that was the best I could do.  You will note that I did add a caveat that it sounded about right but I was very sure not to say that this comment was fact

Makes sense to me. You and your staff are no longer watching him in games or in training every single day, so you can't be certain that he's the same player he was.

Haha we will see, I think it may come out this evening 

 

Haha okay mate, why you think tonight? It's been advertised since it was announced that release date is the 2nd November. Don't get me wrong I'd be buzzing if it came out tongiht even though I've got the beta and loving it, I just want to know what this unannounced feature is. Still, tomorrow is the date ;);)

I fully agree but it happened in the summer like 1-2 months after his contract expired.
Btw It happens with just a couple of ''technical stats'' then it isn't a problem. I just checked and for other players is ok.

A bit strange though basically not have knowledge on a player as Lucas Torreira for example

Wondering what the point of stuff like this is. The game has only just come out, no one is going to have a large sample size of anything. So should the feedback thread just be closed?

Don't get me wrong, posting such is fine. The major point was that in-game too, over just x amounts of kicks anything  lots can traditionally happen. The chance of scoring (or perhaps more importantly missing) typically doesn't change overly much from one kick to the next, after all. Similar as if you throw a six-sided dice, you have the same chance of rolling a 6 with every throw. And if you ever did such, maybe in a game of Ludo with your friends, you may experience curioius streaks short-term. If you don't realize this, this can seriously impact your decisions in a bad way -- nobody would propose marriage to a girl they've just met 5 times, after all. In terms of feedback: over just a single season, the game still provides more reasonably sample sizes over the league -- rather than merely a team. There's more kicks being processed than just of the team that happens to be managed by a player.

And unlike general shot conversions, penalties are far less influenced by any decision the manager makes. There only tends to be ona major one, which is who is taking those kicks regularly. And that decision shouldn't influence hugely realistically, as even most specialists don't convert roughly 1 in 5 to 6 penalties, longer-term, when the averages are roughly not conveting 1 in 4. Thus over seasons penalty conversion is going to fluctuate simply by nothing but random chance. This typically happens all the time. At extreme stuff of not scoring like one in ten, perhaps it's worthwile to see the save checked in the bug forums -- who knows! :D

I'm sure this has been asked before. But I can't find it.

Why can't I sort by column in the Scouting > Priorities screen?

I like to scout a lot of players, and I like to use good non Scouting staff to do some of the lifting. I assign nicknames to the staff I use to scout specific players like 01>02>03>X (depending on how many good staff I have.)

It's impossible to know how many assignments each staff member has without seriously going through each of the, sometimes, hundreds of assignments on priorities and just count them up.

Being able to sort by staff name (and I see no reason not to be able to sort by anything I want on that screen) would greatly improve the way I like to play the game. And you used to be able to do it in FM18 (if not a "priorities" screen, but a similar one)

Also being able to make my own "view" for that screen would be nice. I like having the info I prioritize available whenever possible. 

Had any feedback on this mate? Biggest issue I’ve found so far- hard to filter though 100’s of players being scouted

In the “priorities” tab under scouting, assignments 

Is it intentional that you can’t sort the columns? 

For example if I chose to scout 300 players, then I sign a goalkeeper and decide I don’t need to scout any more keepers, why can’t I sort by position and remove all keepers. I have to manually scroll through and remove them individually.

 

Or say my budget is reduced and I have to remove players valued over 5 mil. I can’t sort by value?

You can actually. Go in scout report and click on the position, that will sort the position and you can then remove any scout reports you want. 

 

The same for the value.

Generally really enjoying the game, the tactical settings are far more intuitive than previous versions and training is a vast improvement generally.  The only thing I don't like is the new restrictions on retraining a players position.  I get this for older players to an extent but if I have an 18 year old player who is a natural DMC and my coaches tell me he is versatile then surely I should be able to train him to at least accomplished if not natural at MC, it is not like it is a massive change.  However, I am told he won't improve past competent no matter how much I play him at MC (I have played him at MC for a season and a half and never played him at DMC).  Young players change positions a lot in their early development and often this switch is permanent.  For example, Bellerin at Arsenal switched from winger to right back and in the FM database he is now considered a natural at right back.  This should be possible for us as well but I have a natural striker who I got through the academy at 15 and I tried to change him into an AMC and unfortunately he can only reach accomplished.  I just don't feel this is realistic for young players and very much limits developing young players if their attributes don't suit their original position.

There are no new restrictions on retraining player positions.

I have never received a message before saying I can't train a players position past competent in a position before?  If that is the case why is my versatile DMC not training at MC?

The backroom advice is new, the limit is not. How are you finding it after 19.1?

One or two other players have progressed in their position training but the aforementioned DMC hasn't changed at all.  As a side note my coaches even tell me that he "could be successfully retrained as a central midfielder".

Fingers crossed it's a little earlier, or better still the pre-game editor is out then too.

Pretty sure the full version has been timelocked to that specific time a few times before. I have a vague memory of myself sitting and waiting for the clock to turn 00:01.

So, having played a full season on the beta and having seen the Serie C fixtures have at least fixed themselves there are a couple of queries and stuff I have mostly regarding in game shouts.

1. So far in my one season of using them it appears encourage and concentrate never work and just overwhelm the players which seems odds. 

2. The feedback lasts beyond half-time which shouldn't really be the case as the half-time team talk should override any shout from before half-time

3. If I shout 'no pressure' it doesn't seem logical for the response of the entire squad to be 'overwhelmed by feedback'.

4. Demand More and Praise seem to be the opposite of Encourage and Concentrate as they always seem to have a positive effect.

Same here. That's the shout I've used the most, though it's surprising that I haven't seen any of my players react negatively to it.

Yes, in the assignment. Should have mentioned that but click on the scout staff and it will show up. It will also include any not yet completed scout but unfortunately you cant stop the scout report to be completed once you asked for a scout report.

Have you tried it out with different teams? It may be that the set of players you have just respond better those shouts.

Two different teams but at the same level of football which I admit may well have an impact...

Seems the same with all teams. Just depends on how much respect you have from the players. / a good relationship

Well I might quote you this year as Miles has tweeted saying 00:01 is the time they're releasing the full game, however my previous comment of I'd be buzzing if it was earlier still stands, but I am confident it won't be released tonight mate.

Also how old?  I'm 33 and this will be the 20th year I've bought the game

What do you mean it "won't be released tonight"?
