Strong one example mate. Nobody is saying they are never scored. The problem is they're created too often and misses are way, way too abundant relative to goals.

 

Also, defenders are not trailing the ONLY player making a run here? If you were trying to make things look good here, you failed.

It was about the 1v1s . Not the Defenders  And again. There are issues with the ME .  I never said there wasnt

Yes it actually is.
I also thought that it wasn't, and tried to go back to FM19, only to come once again back to FM20 since I couldn't stand FM19 ME anymore. You're in denial mate.

So you thought the FM20 ME sucked went back to a final build of FM19 only to decide naw am going back to FM20 where I originally couldn't stand it that much I went back to a previous FM, once again your the one whos in denial, why would I want to play a previous FM if the match engine was worse lol.

All we're interested in, in this thread - is feedback on FM20.

It's you're, not your. And yes, I tried FM19 and went back to FM20 since FM19 ME sucked even more. You may like it better, but that's your problem and not mine. "lol"

@HUNT3RIt's feedback on FM20 to say that its match engine is better than the final FM19 ME, is it not? Although I agree that not very detailed feedback, sorry. I'll shut up now.

Yes, like every year. The ME is one of the most complex part of the game and very difficult to adjust. It's not just "fix one on one's" its more about "we change 500 lines of code and we don't know what side effect this will have". So you fix something and something else comes up.

[CharlesJohnsson]

I feel like maybe the AI is too good at reading and countering your tactics? My tactic works great for a season and then the following season it's nowhere near the previous. I find myself constantly tweaking and tweaking.. it's really frustrating. Maybe this is just me, anyone else experiencing this?

They cannot 'read' or counter a tactic specifically. They adjust based on rep and form.

Maybe not everyone . But scroll up , and u will see an example of someone who says he goes back to FM 19 cuz of the ME but posted about FM 19 the same thing . 

Regarding to 1v1s ...

 

You are cherry picking things to try and prove your argument. He criticised the ME when it was first out in FM19. Now, I don't know him, but as he has gone back to it one can assume that he became happier with it as the build got updated. Let's all hope the same thing happens with FM20.

However, the goals you have highlighted are part of the issue I was talking about. Long balls over the top, defenders not reacting until it is far too late. I never said 1v1's were not scored. They are created, as you have highlighted, by balls over the top far too often. And they are missed far too often. 

I asked Dagenham Dave about a week ago, as he argues strongly for the ME, and I won't criticise him for that - if he is enjoying it and likes it then fair play, for some PKM's of his 1v1's to see what we could learn. Why don't you upload a save to show how you have been playing etc? Perhaps you are on to something that many of us are not?

You won't learn anything from someone else's save. It'll be a different team, a different league, different players, different circumstances, different opposition, etc etc.

Oh, and I don't 'argue strongly' for the ME. I just give my thoughts on the game. What I will do, however, is question whether something perceived to be bugged is actually a tactical issue. It isn't always of course, but it will be more often than people are willing to admit.

Yes, because that would be a real stellar way to run a business. 

Do you think match engine issues can just be fixed by clicking a button? The gaming industry has been plagued with stories of companies 'rushing' software, beginning with ET for the Atari 2600 in the early 80s. It rarely ends well. 

The devs are busy looking at potential issues, and will fix any that need fixed in due course. Rushing it is just likely to make the problems worse. 

[Scott Jackson]

To give some feedback on something that isn't the match engine. I'd like to see a fairly comprehensive update to the press and social centre aspects of the game, I see so many of the same 'tweets' and there's always the same old negative ones even if a player was actually really really good or if I win manager of the month with a 100% record someone will always say something like 'whisper it but I don't think X deserves this'. I also have to go through the same old interviews all the time and being asked about if I agree with the actions taken by a random other manager with regards to some player.

I don't feel like these areas have moved on since last year and I largely skip them as they don't seem to have much variety or be very dynamic, I don't know what anyone else thinks about it?

Yet you are not seeing the issues that most people in this thread are? Would that be a fair comment? If so it must imply, regardless of leagues/opposition etc that you are doing something fundamentally different to most people. SO your save would be valuable. Just as they are to the developers when people are reporting bugs. But, it is your choice.

And you do argue strongly for the game. They may just be your thoughts, but never the less they are strongly argued for the game. I disagree that the majority of what we are seeing is tactical related, far too many people are reporting the same things for them to be tactical. And, from personal experience, the balls over the top and 1v1's you just can't stop, it really doesn't matter what you do. If you can prove otherwise please feel free to...…………..

SC Braga v FC Porto.pkm 176.79 kB · 1 download

I haven't finished the entire 2nd half, but this is from the first half alone.

 

Tons of shots, all of which in actually dangerous Position exclusively pressured headers from the set piece (blue dots). Even the Goal was off a re-bound from a set-piece, namely the Penalty. IN parts this was because Porto, being the favorite, barely covered any higher width/Depth than Braga, thus barely risking a Thing, despite being the match favorites. This made it easy for Braga to get a foot into the moves.

If the game were to deal in xG, at HT Porto were lucky and massively struggling to break Braga down, and even in the second half, there appear similar Patterns (though some stuff actually created in space and Play). Come on SI, provide some better Feedback already and tighten up the set piece defending. This is painfully busywork.

Do I see either of these things with the frequency that others post about? No. 

I've uploaded lots of videos on this thread. But I've stopped doing that now, because (and this also applies to others who have tried to do the same), people will always find something to moan about in them. Look at what happened when Herne uploaded that fantastic run and goal by his AMC. Within minutes, people couldn't help themselves moaning about the defending, etc. 

From now, I'll just play the game, share any thoughts I have, post bug reports (I've done about 10 so far), and argue against any hyperbolic nonsense on here. It's what gets me through the day. (and the odd ban)

Generally agree with this.  Press conferences are one of the most skippable elements of the game.  Tweets I think are just there to give some versimilitude.  They don't much matter and are easily ignorable.  Since scouting, training and development have all gotten overhauled in the last few years, I'd like to hope that the interactive side of FM gets a look sometime in the next few versions.  That might include another pass at some issues with player interactions as well - "I'm not prepared to go over this again" when a guy has averaged a 10.0 training rating for the third week in a row.

 

@davehanson I can't speak for Dave, obviously, but I've put a few PKMs up in the bug forums that include quite a few missed 1v1s.  It's a thing that happens, and hopefully the next patch will make it better.  Generally, I've dealt with it by trying to create goals in other ways in other situations.  The update that decreased the number of penalties hurt my team a lot - I didn't realize how much I was relying on tricky wingers drawing fouls in the box.  It turned into a good little wakeup.  I got some good feedback from Scott about what he does with his AMC that's helped.  In the games I've played since making a role change to that player, I've seen a couple slick passing moves and two very sexy passes slid through defenses on the ground for goals.  I still see a lot of 1v1s, but I get a better variety of chances and more goals playing with a tactic that suits my squad and the ideas I want to implement than picking some hyper-narrow, hyper-attacking downloaded shot-festival.

[steviemay17]

Reading through this thread is a fairly good example of why there needs to be some kind or competition in the genre. not so much with the actual finished product as only SI will know if they truly put everything into making the game the best it can be each year or just do enough to justify the release and taking the money, but with the way they treat their customers.

It's very important to remember that despite the cult following and the way that the "FM community has been built up", SI are a company who gladly take the money each year and are run for profit, it's not like they are doing this as a favour to everyone so it's nobody's job but their own to find out how to improve their product to meet the needs of their customers.

A lot of the people on here are treated with a mixture of contempt as also as if they are employees - of course it would be helpful if we could all take the time to submit detailed reports on bugs, but I personally don't buy a game to sit and upload examples and jot down the exact minute and incident, so I'm perfectly entitled to say I'm unhappy and the reasons for it, the passive aggressive approach about needing to show why I'm unhappy only helps to fuel dissatisfaction towards the product.

This isn't something that will come home to roost now, there isn't a viable alternative and SI know it. It's staggering to see multiple replies on here saying just take the hit and move on, or if you don't like it don't play it. Can you think of any other industry in the world where it's remotely acceptable for the customer base to be told to either accept it or sod off?

It means that as soon as any viable contender comes along, they have so many PR open goals to build goodwill and get people interested in the product. Let's face it, the ME has some serious flaws this year and has done every year, it's up to you if you can put up with it and accept what's being offered, but it's got to the point where you would imagine a lot of people won't be exclusively loyal to SI when another offering comes along, so a lot of this current approach will build apathy and distrust among the customer base.

It's well worth SI fully considering how they treat their customers and the long term ramifications of their approach, never before have I seen a company that is so resistant and easily offended when it comes to negative feedback, it's time to buck up and take it on board..

You never can't satisfy all customers and that's true for all kind of industries. You need to make strategic decisions and you will lose costumers and find others. Some of the critics talk about the game as it would be getting worse every year, but then last year it was the most successful ever and it seems this years edition could even top it. How many updates where already released and how much feedback turned into new features in the game? How many other companies you know are doing the same for their costumers?

@KUBI The updates released is needed as the game has been unplayable. In my opinion SI should have kept the match engine from 2019 at least until a new version has been tested internally instead of by their customers.

Teams aren't nearly compact enough. Centre backs and the opposition's strikers remain on the half way line when the ball is in the final third which is very out of date, particularly for the top teams

Hello, 

i play the game on my iPad with the touch edition of FM 2020. While I usually enjoy each game I have struggled to get invested In This years due to the live matches constantly freezing & forcing me to close the app & starting again. I would avoid this by simply simming the match but when I do so my assistant manager will never make a sub unless an injury occurs. This means when I try playing with a Lower league team my squads get very tired really quickly as there’s no rotation & my subs sharpness declines very quickly. All in all I like the game but the fact that both options available to me are both glitching & preventing me from get the most out of the game.

While I understand the point you are trying to make, this also provides the perfect example of what I mean, always looking to deny and tell people they should be grateful rather than taking the criticism on board.

I'm not trying to be a total d*ck here, I'm just trying to point out that a culture has built up of denying and defending any criticism rather than trying to take it on board to improve. I appreciate there will be plenty of people who irritate those at SI, but it comes full circle when they are paying customers who are vital to keep the company moving forward, and simply dismissing or patrionising customers is a sure fire way to make resentment and frustrations grow.

Which begs the question of how updates are released that have such obvious issues such as the current one. I realise a lot of testing is done and comparisons with real life stats are made etc but does anyone actually just sit down and play the thing? Because it only takes a game or two on comprehensive to see there's problems with finishing, long balls, players mis-controlling the ball near the touchline, defenders heading the ball back in to danger etc.

To see an error or bug is not the same as to fix it. Some of the errors and bugs  you see might be a side effect of fixing another "everyone can see it" issue.

I would also point to EA as being the perfect example of both sides of this argument, when you look at the offerings from Fifa and Madden.

Fifa has been neglected for years and has barely showed any improvements, there will be some who point to improvements in the game play but realistically it's a new database and a new colour of menu every year - this has led to PES becoming a genuine contender again, even though their game isn't great. It means that previous fans of the game have lost loyalty and the contempt that EA show fifa fans online is plain for all to see.

Madden is a completely different scenario and actually shows little things can go a long way. The latest edition had some issues to begin with, but they have introduced new game modes, constantly adapt ratings and review their "X-Factor" players each month and issue a detailed update note every time to say what has been improved, why certain things have changed and what they are working on going forward. They even indicate what they are struggling to fix and what is causing the issues, which is irritating in game but the openness and transparency is appreciated.

I would say that SI are somewhere in the middle just now, but trust is fading with each passing update. The latest one did fix a lot of the shooting into the side netting issue, but also said it improved 1v1 situations which is arguable at best, and just not true at worst.

It does feel like SI's approach is to keep silent unless they are continually pressed on an issue where we just get told it will be fixed, but we don't know when or how, and then the actual updates just seem to elevate different problems. It's clear that instead of acknowledging and being open about certain issues, the first response is to deny and attempt to denigrate the integrity of the person who made the complaint or raised the issue, in the hope that it discourages others from coming forward and even better if the few attack dogs can pop up on here to defend the game - they may genuinely feel this is the best thing of all time but it's important to remember that some people actually think being contrary is a personality trait and identify as that, which just helps to build frustration.

Don't get me wrong the game is fine, but the ME has significant flaws that does detract from the enjoyment when playing it.

Yes I realise that but assuming these games have been played during testing, a lot of these issues must have already been seen by the devs. I can only assume then that these issues were "seen" during testing but the patch was released anyway for us to then submit all the pkms etc.

It's not about beta or not beta. The ME is never finished, but you always need to decide with version is balanced enough for a release. They could just release one and state, ok that's it, the ME for FM 2020. But they continue to try to make it better. There is no perfect ME that suits everyone. So you will have always people complaining about a part of it. Some want a ME that is fun to watch, other a ME that is for the tactical finesse and other who wants a perfect ME for their seventh divisions matches.

This is good feedback, but they need pkms that showed this during a match. I know people say, we already uploaded tons of them. But sometimes it's the 54 pkm that nails it down what they need to adjust.

All we ever ask is that people are going to criticize the game, to do so constructively. We're not offended by negative feedback, but we won't tolerate comments that take direct pops at the development team. This forum was created specifically to allow people to discuss our game in a way that allows for debate and conversation. It's got harder over the years to expect the development team to engage with users on the forums when they were spending an inordinate amount of time defending themselves and the company against criticism when all they were ever trying to do was create the best version of FM possible. 

We put everything we can into making this game the best we can every year. But we are a company and of course we're run for profit. If we spend more money than we earn every year there would be no more Football Manager. So we have to balance the books in terms of development in order to make sure we're sustainable long term. We never ‘take the money and run’ - we communicate directly with the community of this game, be it here or via social media every day of the year. We release numerous updates of the game trying our best to improve it with each one. If someone wants to come out with a football management game better than this good luck to them - we're all still fans of the game so if someone can do better than us, we'll likely all end up playing it!  

We get the people just want the game to be the best it can be and we want that too.

It's not about beta or not beta. The ME is never finished, but you always need to decide with version is balanced enough for a release. They could just release one and state, ok that's it, the ME for FM 2020. But they continue to try to make it better. There is no perfect ME that suits everyone. So you will have always people complaining about a part of it. Some want a ME that is fun to watch, other a ME that is for the tactical finesse and other who wants a perfect ME for their seventh divisions matches.

 

So now we have the ME for those who love 1vs1 missing chances?

It has to be such a complicated process to change the match engine and I truly believe anyone that says that it is. The game has changed a lot for me since switching tactics. I’m not saying that there aren’t issues with the game, but a lot of these issues be mitigated tactically. The engine seems to be creating chances that it doesn’t want to allow. And I still think momentum is a much bigger factor in this year’s game. It’s more difficult this time around. If anyone has tried the 4-3-3 with central strikers, it works for a while, but you’ll get ripped apart eventually.

No, but 99% of the other parts. Is your life perfect? Do you concentrate only at the parts which aren't? Or do you enjoy it sometimes? In the end we are talking about a computer game.

Which we paid £30 for, don't forget that, is not that you guys gave it away.

This is good feedback, but they need pkms that showed this during a match. I know people say, we already uploaded tons of them. But sometimes it's the 54 pkm that nails it down what they need to adjust.

I don't understand why a pkm is necessary in this instance. It's not a difficult to replicate bug or something, it happens every single game to every single team
