People only accept the minimum and don't ask for more A.I is so important in this game. A poor A.I is a poor experience. Poor A.I squad rotation means lack of players developing from other teams and A.I being plagued with unhappy players resulting in them playing worse. Poor A.I tactics means lack of competition, unrealistic matches and unrealistic league tables. poor A.I recruitment means lack of interesting transfer markets, unrealistic league tables. Poor A.I youth development means LESS newgens being developed Poor A.I wage management means teams unrealistically fail during long term saves because of financial difficulty.

Scott Jackson Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I'm intrigued by the addition of xG. In real life xG is an attempt (that I will admit I hate on the basis that people get fixated on it) to statistically model the outcomes of various attempts on goal. But in real life players don't have stats and the wind can be blowing or someone could be looking at a nice cloud so it's all about fluffly probabilities based on previous outcomes at this point blah blah blah boring stats. For example I also don't know if real life xG takes into account the difference between Aguero shooting from 8 yards or, say Jonny Evans shooting from 8 yards or if it's just 'shot from 8 yards' (I know it's more complicated that that). But in real life it's always going to be a best guess. In FM you should be able to get an actual 100% accurate xG because all the players have stats and the match engine is a mathematical model of those and other stats so it is always calculating the chance of a shot on goal going in and producing the outcome. This means that depending on the implementation the xG in FM should be actual mathematically correct xG. I might have misunderstood the some of how all of this works but like I said, it will be interersting to see. Especially in the 'I had 30 shots to the opponents 3 and lost 2-0' that seemed so common last FM! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kertiek Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 (edited) i really hope this year they fix the match plans, it has been broken for the last two or three years, the users cant disable the automatic substitutions no matter what option u select on it its a really nice feature of the game to be able to change instructions by certain conditions on the game but i cant use it because my assistant will make subs as he pleases, if am playing an right inside forward that his learning his new position on the field ( he is a natural on AML, but i think he works better as a right inside forward to make better use of his left foot, but he is only accomplished on AMR ), the assistant will sub him at 30 min of play because there is a "better" option in the bench, i dont want the sub, i need the player to keep learning his new position and gaining experience on it, with the match plans broken as it is, i cant use it because he will be taken out of the game due to the automatic substitutions that u cant disable, no matter what option u select on it. match plans in fact has option to disable automatic subs, but is broken and its currently being ignored, i reported this a few times during fm20 and they never fixed it.

ferrarinseb Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Now we are in Novemeber i hope we see some ME features/News. I just hope they fixed the Keep ball at the back when AI plays defensively. Playing defensively means them putting up the men behind the ball but the effect of Inch perfect passing under Max Press with Majority of Passes happening between CB-CB- GK and On Most times having around 80% of posession between these 3 is the Side effect i really hope get fixed. Also i hope Posession calculation reflects real life with Amount of passes rather than chess clock version. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrManagerMan Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 I’ve had a whinge about the game plenty of times on here but credit where it’s due, It’s looking great. I’m getting hyped. As long as the ME has been worked on for the better (which I’m now sure it has) I’ll be happy. Hmmmmm.... now need to decide in the next few days who to manage first... I never pick a big club so might go for one this time. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairyTailed Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Seems like the player's cut-out with their face no long appears when they score a goal? Only their name? That sucks. Hopefully there will be a skin that adds that in.

azymin Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 I think the SI is shooting themselves in the foot a little bit. There appear to be many small improvements to a lot of areas, which is great. But if you roll out a few tweaks every other day it can seem underwhelming. Imo they should've just rolled out large batches of changes to really highlight the number of improvements. I'd still be disappointed if international management isn't revamped, but the number of other improvements would make 2021 version a good buy. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hagedisboy Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 All the new features look good to me, I've read some comments saying "no-one cares, focus on the ME" and although I agree that the ME has been very disappointing last year, the new features do excite me. I just hope SI have fixed the ME as well. I haven't played FM since February I think and I really miss this game. It all comes down to the ME though, if it's better than FM20 I will definitely buy FM21 but if it's still not fixed I think I will say goodbye to FM forever. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
