Purple Bane

Yes it really is. Incredible effort to make something so simple that worked fine, not work at all. Constantly come back to the game with it midweek having stopped for no reason, i presume because it's detected movement somehow? Baffling stuff.

Advanced forward in a 4231. I have no real point, just throwing my considerable oar in. Lacabackup for a rotation example:

I'll preface this by saying i have never played touch, but you can delegate basically everything bar tactics to your staff (and even then they can deal with the pre/in game stuff like opposition instructions and team talks) and you can choose specific coaches etc to deal with each task to make sure you have the best suited to each role. It takes minutes to delegate basically everything to your staff at the start of a game. First thing i do whenever i start a new game, i just want to do my tactics and build a squad. Let my staff deal with every other aspect.

The training intensity scheduling thing under 'Rest' in training. Why aren't all the players there? And if general training is left to a coach, does that override the parameters you set yourself or do they work by them? If they are supposed to, they aren't.

Pretty relentless with the injuries this one isn't it? Seems to end every game with someone subbed off with an injury and another couple on orange. I see everyone (well almost) including SI has acknowledged there's an issue though so here's hoping for next friday.

Not really thought about it until i noticed no WTD icons on my squad, but i don't think i have had a single team attempt to buy any of my (Arsenal) players across 4 transfer windows so far. Is that odd? Feels odd.

No idea if it's a bug or just how things are irl nowadays, but penalties seem whiffy again. Finished the first season with 45% scored, halfway through a second with 57% scored . Mostly taken by Lacazette and Aubameyang whose stats are strong for this area.

Didn't want to mention it in the bug forum, as nobody has time to read a stream of 'Not technically a bug' but transfers are ****ing mental in this one so far. The standard Kane to United for far less than Spurs would ever accept, now has Hazard to Liverpool (Both teams in the CL, neither won anything season prior) for £65m with potential add ons to £91m..,.fee hardly the issue mind. Salah to Madrid for £103m seems sensible in comparison but it does feel like the game still doesn't know how to deal with the biggest transfers.

Continue game timeout doesn't seem to cancel when you try to stop it anymore. Timer just ticks down and you're away again.

What?

Will do cheers. Hopefully it's an oversight and it should be skipping a lot of it rather than by design.

Any reasoning been given for the changes to Commentary Only, where it now seems to describe everything happening at lightning speed rather skipping through to commentated highlights. Makes it pretty impossible to follow and a 7+ minutes slog to get through while not following it.

Assume the massive drop in money, reputation, sponsorship, player interest etc this would bring will be dealt with dynamically and with real care in game? I mean with the random element they must have spent thousands of hours tweaking every outcome to get this right, rather than throwing in a randomised gimmick, right?

I agree.

ahh but brexit will happen in the future, so the best way to represent this in a game that is released yearly and patched frequently is a completely random outcome even if it makes no sense. Don't you get it?
