That and being able to use your wage money on other things like buying clubs and becoming chairman lol Its not about a difficulty setting with multiple choice, and he knows that. Its about identifying if the AI are at a massive disadvantage because they have a heavy bias to choose a poor tactical preset and maybe just tweaking one role in that preset, or changing the way AI managers select a formation, might make the game a little more challenging. I want the AI to continually get better in tactics, man management, squad building, looking after player condition etc... Seems like something has significantly shifted the balance on match day. Im not having many diffficult matches at all, even when conditions (player match ups, tactical match ups, in game events like red card) are in the opponents favour. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RocheBag Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 In years past the faces were just 2d pictures that had no impact on anything else.

pats Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) 2 hours ago, pats said: This is Bremen (me, predicted to finish 12th) vs Wolfsburg (predicted to finish 7th) in the 7th game of my first Bundesliga season. As you can see, they had: 0 shots on target 0 shots off target 0 blocked 0 woodwork 0 half chances 0 clear cut chances 0 long shots They also had 41% possession and 490 attempted passes in total, so it's not like I just kept the ball for the 90 minutes. They had a red card but that was in the 71st minute. Something is making teams overpowered very quickly after starting the season. Too easy?? Very much so in my opinion. I would like to add that I have done nothing extra-ordinary (no cheats or exploits whatsoever, never download them). Just my own very simple balanced 5-3-1-1 system against a superior opponent. May be training effect is overpowered? May be AI just can't handle the high intensity pressing? Having said all that, the ME is best by far. The defending now is very realistic and if the issue of AI becoming weak very quickly/humans becoming overpowered very quickly is fixed, this will the best FM in the series by far. Alright so an update on this. Playing with same tactic, in the next match we faced Schalke away (who were top of the league). They absolutely smashed us but we held our nerves, scored a goal on the counter and won the game 0-1, classic Mourinho style. Really liked what I saw. Schalke didn't give us anything. Very challenging and difficult match. I think the current difficulty issue could be about in-form teams being too powerful. Btw, I'm just trying to find out what could be causing teams to go on unbeaten runs. Oh and they got frustrated in the end and broke my best player's (Gebre Selassie) leg which has ruled him out for 4-5 months. Beautiful!

I'm probably getting the normal amount of injuries in this save Bayern, a high intensity tactic, can't remember what the ass man does for training & getting a fair few injuries on this one, two of the casualties are Robben & Ribery so that doesn't surprise me much Are people going balls the wall with tactics & training to get above normal injuries as in high intensity or are the players getting some rest-bite somethwere?

In particular, whats the vibe from SI about the feedback concerning game difficulty (being too easy)? I'm coming to the end of my first season and on current track look like i will get a full sweep of trophies. In isolation i would be happy with my season... But having read feedback from others it outs doubt in mind, and if i really analyse my season, i feel a bit like ive breezed through it... I'm utd so should do well, i have high rep, world class players, ive been relatively injury free and ive picked a solid 442 with decent roles etc... So its not unrealistic... But still can't help but feel its been easier than it should have been. I. E. I play lukaku as TM-s and he has goal per 111 mins... Which is fine, but my backup TM is Mctominay (a raw cm) who im shoe horning in because of his work rate, teamwork and physique. He has 11 goals in 16 starts 15 sub apps.. (but has probably been bbm for 50% of apps) I know I'm not Seb, but will answer your first question - for that kind of thing, we're always working on trying to make the game better and address any issues raised within the community. However compiling such a list would be quite a demand on resources which really for the benefit of the game would be better spent elsewhere at this time.

brewtal Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I'm 33 and have been playing FM/CM since I was about 8 (so pretty much its entire lifetime). Just some quick thoughts.. Booted up the beta and first impressions very good, love the new tactics , much easier and simpler to tune and understand. The interface is smooth and looks good. The only 2 real issues I have (and i'm afraid if they remain are deal breakers for me) and will stop me playing are: 1) 90% of my goals come from crosses or a scramble in the box after a cross 2) Its too easy, i've let in 2 goals all season with Arsenal come late December and haven't lost a game (including City and Liverpool away) Just my 2 cents.

Think you need to redo your maths, although agreed it does still seem high It's my tactics people. I can't blame the ME here. I'm happy with what I saw. Schalke were playing a narrow formation and were in red hot form (top of the league), so I defended very narrow and conceded the wings on purpose by completely shutting down the center. They had no other way to breach my defence so they went cross crazy which my two decent jumpers (Langkamp and Veljkovic) just about handled. My GK Pavlenka is also 6'5". All their chances were from headers mostly. With the ball, we tried to be patient as I have a highly technical midfield and forward line. You can see that from 58% possession. I would also like to add that their manager Dominico Tedesco has an 'Attacking' playing mentality, 'More Urgent' pressing style, and 'Uses intense pressing', 'Uses counter pressing' as tendencies. You now have an idea how they like to play in FM. Edited October 25, 2018 by pats Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brewtal Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 In a 90 minute match , the ball is only in play between 53-58 mins for the average premier league team. So 73 crosses is actually worse than it looks. lol 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
