baris28 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 6 saat önce, SebastianRO said: In FM19 and FM20 a lot of the movement on the pitch was "directed" or "orchestrated" on the flanks. Maybe these are not the best terms to describe what what going on, but most of you know exactly what I am talking about. This resulted in many crosses / goals from crosses / blocked crosses, etc. Personally I take issue with this, since I am a big believer and fan of a narrow, central midfield oriented style of football. This style relies heavily on support from the flanks, but support being the key word here. I like the new match animations and more detailed agent interaction and staff and such but yes I also think from my few tests ball going wide again such as in 2019 and 2020. Probably better to tell it now before the end of beta. Rashidi mentions inverted wingers now has better positioning than in 2021 version. Is it about central play or only promoting new position as center wide, don't know.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trevjim Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 24 minutes ago, SmurfDude said: Absolutely loving the ME more and more. The deadline day interface and agents offering out players was awesome. I really like the new way transfer values are handled, it's far more realistic. Overall this FM just feels brilliant. My only gripe would be the ridiculous amount of questions from the media that flood my inbox. As someone who mostly played FM Touch I've never cared for the media aspect at all, it's dull as dishwater. Now FM Touch is no longer available on Steam it'd be nice if you made FM more modular in future to allow for certain things to be turned off, as there's no denying the game is getting more and more bloated with each new version and the sheer amount of data and clicking can get overwhelming. I also miss the instant result button for quickly getting through friendlies and any meaningless games. Big fan of the UI too, it's really pleasing on the eye. I usually leave all media and press to my Ass man. Im not really sure why it's still in the game or at least not having the option to turn it off. I think the vast majority of users see the media and press as tedious and repetitive. Like you said, a modular FM would be awesome Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

obscenesage Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Match engine plays more realistic than fm21, that's for sure. It feels great imo. I can't find a feel for what tactics will be good this year though, any insight on that? Also, staff signings at the beginning of the game feel more OP than ever before. There were staff regens at the start of my save (That's new right?) which allowed me to have 5 star coaching in every category to start the season. My game freezes to death when I'm in the transfers tab declining many offers for one player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthgatesRedWhiteArmy Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 (edited) I have to admit, this is an amazing game. I've played FM since 2005, even when it was Champ Man, so I've probably played this for 20 years or more. This feels like one of the most polished games I've played for a beta. Yes, it still has some issues which will be ironed out I'm sure, but overall, the match engine for me has been buttery smooth, the transfers are a lot better in terms of being able to get someone for a reasonable price. Excellent work devs. Much love! Edited October 22, 2021 by SouthgatesRedWhiteArmy 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nessaja Wolf Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I have to say i'm loving the beta. Started with Ipswich and decided to use 4-3-3 vertical tika taka for the first time with a few tweaks - thought I was going to be sacked after a bad pre-season but i've won all 4 league games and having a blast. Scott Fraser and Matt Penney are amazing. Match engine seems much improved from FM21, scored some great goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SuperRedditch Posted October 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2021 Newgen faces are honestly a travesty this year, at least in terms of generated staff. The eyebrows look like my five-year-old has scribbled over the image in mspaint and it's the same with the beards. If you can't do them properly then just don't include them at all. This sort of stuff is amateur hour and it really cheapens your brand, in my opinion. Futhermore, on the topic of eyebrows, there are a choice of 5 eyebrow types in the manager creation screen, one of which is a monobrow. If generated players/staff have access to the same 5 eyebrow options, and they are randomly assigned one without the game skewing the probability of them, then our games are going to be infested with monobrows within a few seasons. Which is hilarious. And insane. I'm kinda speculating there, i don't know how the game generates the appearances, but I'm seeing loads of monobrows in the staff search already in Season 1. 25 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CARRERA Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I've just played a few games with bayern for now and what i've noticed right away was that the AI is able play around the back with incredible accuracy (like they did years ago), which leads to >90% pass completition for bottom tier teams.

craigcwwe Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 (edited) Are the player mentalities correct? For example, setting up a tactic and I've got a WM-S in a balanced team mentality who has a personal mentality of 'attacking' and then another WM on attack duty which has an 'attacking' mentality. Then a AM-S, also on attacking in a balanced team mentality. Edited October 22, 2021 by craigcwwe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sedge11 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Finally got a few more hours on the beta. Absolutely loving it, ME looks and feels great, the new animations have made a massive difference. Like the staff meetings, data hub looks good and could be very useful, and the game in general feels really smooth and clean, though do get lag on certain screens and I know that has been reported. Some really nice little touches as well, for example the assister to the goal being named on the events of the match UI, something really small but is actually really nice. I disabled the 1st transfer window so haven't had a proper deadline day, but a few mates have said its really good. Overall very positive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReusAlThor Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Enjoying the game so far-- biggest gripe I have is there seems to be too many long shots going in. For example, in a cup game against a third division team (Dortmund vs. Kaiserslauten), my players scored 3 goals from outside of the box (Rapha, Dahoud, and Reyna) and they also scored 3 goals from outside the box. In the first game of the Bundesliga, there were 3 goals (2 for me, 1 for Frankfurt) from outside the box. I even instruct my players to work the ball in, but they are launching it from 30 yards (and scoring too frequently). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you guys say that, overall, high-Flair, high Dribbling players are trying more dribbles through the middle of the pitch? Back in FM21, as the most technically gifted club in the world I still wasn't seeing all that much in that department, something magic happened once or maybe twice in my 12 seasons but that was it. I know it depends on a thousand different things, but I observed that overall I was never able to encourage dribbling all that much. Is the situation noticeably different now that the animation system is different, or is that unrelated? i would say that yes now u can clearly see wich players are more gifted/flair due to the new animations at least in the 3d engine, fakes and movements that before were rarely there am seeing them a lot more, the difference is clear with fm21 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but that's not quality play...just long balls through the air which in itself is indicative of issues in that the ball isn't getting moved up the pitch centrally into the top third to pass and probe from there for threaded passes. Was it a build in fm19 that resorted to long through balls to make up for lack of centrally play but it's a bit of a cop out really and lacking sophisticated build up play then 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domoboy23 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 A bit concerned with the low tally of goals for strikers in full detail leagues. On FM21 the balance was perfect with the odd striker having a mental 30/35/40 goal season. It looks like we've gone back to 19 and all before where it's very difficult to get above 20/25 in a 46 game season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyfc Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Passing feels off, far too easy to rack up 90% pass completion. More than FM21, which is odd given this was specifically addressed as having being tweaked in the launch video. Shouldn't be so easy to play out the back, especially in lower league. Watch a League Two IRL and its turnover after turnover. Also saddened to see the play shift back to being predominantly down the wings again. Wing backs are the biggest creators. Don't want to be too negative as it's well polished, but overall feel the match engine is a step backwards. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dagenham_Dave Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 More crosses than a Jesus convention in this year's game so far. I've seen players close to the corner of the box, under no pressure, run out diagonally towards the corner flag just so they can get a cross in from out wide. Feels very FM19-esque this match engine, apart from the much better animations of course. Needs to be balanced a little better before full release IMO. Overall though, another decent game, although I was expecting a bigger step forward than what we have. The lack of UI re-design in various areas that were complained to death about last year is kinda lazy. And don't get me started on stadiums.... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
