But I'm thinking (hoping) city and United would be prioritising the league and CL so whilst FA Cup isn't a 'lesser known' cup, perhaps they view it as less important at that stage of their season?

rain94 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) I've read some complaints about the numerous goals scored off throw-ins. I am starting to witness it myself, enough so to start documenting it starting today. On the other hand, I have no issues with the injury frequency bug. Everything appears normal and as expected as was the case with FM18 for me. I do keep a close eye on Condition after natches and give rest as required.

Does @Ter still make skins??? Acutally i can not understand why one would use the Dark Skin bcs the Light Skin is so much nicer to my eyes and the Purple Skin reminded me to one Windows Colour Setting that was used decades back by a Woman that was i think is called tetrachromatic. or so, - Pink Letters on a Purple Skin with Blue Frames and Lines...omg i could not see a thing after staring at it for as little as 1 min...

Btw, I'm just trying to find out what could be causing teams to go on unbeaten runs. I think you might be on to something here. In my chelsea save Brighton were top of the league after 11 matches. They were beating everyone. They smashed me 3-0 at the bridge when liverpool and city couldn't touch me. Someone finally nicked a win off them and since then they've lost 5 on the bounce. I think form might have too big an effect both positively and negatively. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALGF Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) Don't know whether to put this in feedback or tactics, but my Barnsley team using a Gegenpress 4-3-3 narrow just won the FA Cup in first season. No restarts, no edits, nothing. Can't claim any credit because I didn't really have to do anything, so just posting because it felt very unrealistic and killed the immersion a bit. Gegenpress is definitely overpowered and needs balancing, I need there to at least be some struggle lol. Attached is semi final for ridiculousness. *Worth noting team cohesion/happiness etc is all very green, so that might be the overpowered bit, I dunno Edited October 25, 2018 by ALGF Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're chasing a goal we lump Moore, Adebayejo/Brown and Thiam in one central unit like that, but yeah, two of them typically start as more of an attacking inside forward role. Still, my feedback was that the match engine is become increasingly easy to manipulate, and it's a problem. Where do you draw the line as to where a system is 'genuine' and 'exploititive'?

I hear you on the proving a negative thing However, whoscored has an actual definition of how they define a cross. I've just checked their crosses per game for this season against premierleague.com website and by team they correspond with every team bar everton and brighton which are just out by 1 each. So 18 of the 20 teams it is precisely the same crosses/game for whoscored and the premierleague.com website So that suggests whoscored definition of a 'cross' is consistent with the official premier leagues. One can therefore conclude that with a consistent definition of what a cross is their assists from crossing will stack up as its an assist from how they define a cross. By having a clear and consistent definition of a cross whoscored data relating to number of crosses and assists from crosses can be accepted. That they have a large number of assists bunged in to an 'other' category is academic to the exercise of establishing assists from crosses...and we know that because there is a very CLEAR definition of a cross by whoscored 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
