Not as early as 2025 though. 2028 i could live with

Year 2025, and this is what Norwich are doing in the Premier League. This is not sitting well with me at all. Most notably the highlighted fixtures. Clearly not just scraping by as well... And honestly is effecting the immersion for me. This isn't well off into the future either. Also to mention this is their FIRST season back in the premier league from the championship last season.

My exact experience - I'm just too exhausted to talk about it now. As much as i was wanting and needed an update to continue on with my successful save, now i barely want to even play it. Similar to you, i feel like i had less influence and control over my team and the way they played than i do now.

That’s a sad confirmation of what I’m experiencing. don’t get me wrong though, I would expect to see some quality play at times, but the frequency should be much much lower. as nice as it is to see my team play crazy one-teach no-look passes, it’s not reflective of their attributes which breaks immersion immediately.

At this point, the beta is nothing but a marketing strategy.

Fair enough. Although based on my entirely subjective experience, I would still welcome some defensive improvements or, less successful passes, especially at higher tempos under pressure (that reflect player attributes of course). Sometimes I feel like everyone is press-resistant one-touch masters. i will say - I haven’t ran any tests or checked stats. Just purely off the eye. At one level with Ajax.

Is it worth checking to see if the chance creation is too good, as opposed to finishing, or both? I do think the defending in general needs more work more. Maybe that’s where the problem is?

** Some bug fixes may require starting a new save game for them to be applied “some” is what I believe he is specifically referring to.

There’s an update? I’m not at PC til later on tonight

I would agree. I feel like I’ve seen too many both for and against. To a point where I almost expect it from the most unlikely players on my team and almost disappointed sometimes when they don’t go in. Which shouldn’t be the case.

I have no idea. When I noticed it was just the 1 player completely free rather than 3, but was ignored anyway. the first instance I saw it, the pass was made and it was a simple goal - which made me gasp because I instantly thought “set piece coach!” In amazement. cant say I’ve seen often though. Or at least haven’t noticed it.

I have noticed this. Mine was more at an angle. I was begging the free kick taker to take advantage and make a simple pass that puts the attacker clear through for a 1v1. Of course my free kick taker chose to shoot at the keeper side for a simple catch.

In absolute congruence with the entirety of this post. Thank you.

The match engine is for the most part good. It’s an improvement on 23 for me personally, particularly in the animations and new physics. Positional play has also been positive. But I have felt there are too many goals, my own team plays passes that I feel are too good sometimes. And I’m not saying to just nerf me (the user), but the overall accuracy maybe, particularly at high tempos depending on attributes. I am Ajax playing in a poor league though. the lighting feature is a huge disappointment. I looked forward to that experience, my purchase decision was influenced by this and it never came as shown. struggling to sell players at the moment for anything near my players market value. I’m considering leaving the game alone for a bit until an update before committing further.

Nope. Last year was the same. Absolutely no changes to the ME from beta to full release. Same again this year.

Just finished my first season. And watched Newcastle beat Real Madrid in the CL FINAL. And they lifted the trophy in broad daylight with the evening sun still shining. I wanna turn off the game.

Thought I was the only one who wanted this!

Has the lack of shadows in comparison to their pre-release marketing videos been addressed?

How can this be verified, or has it been officially stated?

Is this all since full release?

You do have counter press selected in your transition tactics

Is that how RM line up defensively? I haven’t watched them at all this season, but would’ve assumed they defended with Vini and Rodry defending wider zones. And attacking central spaces with the team are on the ball.

I’ve noticed the lack of blocks also. Having said that I’ve not really checked bravery stats. But I thought I’d see more than I have at the moment. And I can’t recall any

I’m desperately hoping we get them at 4pm today. Otherwise I’ll be very disappointed. There’s a few “headline features” not working/non-existent at all, in the beta

I don’t know if it’s me kidding myself, but I feel like I can honestly see fatigue and tiredness in players when their condition is low. I’ve also had to make defensive subs for this reason and believe it does help. I might just be lying to myself though, I don’t know.
