I've played like 7 seasons of this game now and its a constant occurrence, BPD clearances are utter garbage barely make it outside the area usually to an opposition player and never, Not ever playing in an attacking player I have left up the pitch.
IDK if this is the same on other roles such as cds or nncbs all I know is watching the games I see terrible clearances consistently from my players and I dont know why.
P.S I dont have play out of the defense
that would appear to be the most obvious reason

can someone explain how the compensation works
I was under the impression that if an u23 player is offered a contract at his club, rejects it and signs for another club compensation has to be paid.
But throughout the years this hasn't occurred on my FM saves.
Can anyone explain why?

We all get to that annoying point when the agent leave the contract suggestion to you.
If you're like me u can be asked to pick and choose all them bonuses etc. Etc.
So I ask my dof to suggest a package and offer it to the player.
Why? Oh why! Is this offer nearly always rebutted with a yellow "far too low response"?
Is my dof bantering me? Is this option just a silly template offer that you need to improve yourself?

This game was bad from the release.
then the update has made it unenjoyable. Playing an attacking style as a strong team has been rendered a hindrance, through terrible finishing both headers and 1 v 1s.
People havent even mentioned the amount of tap in that are saved by godlike acrobatics of keepers.
I'll list the issues that I have Had
Keepers: Heavily OP can be seen jumping from 1 post to the other to save shots. Never have I seen this happen in real life but it's a continuous occurance.
Fullback/Wingbacks: every single one believes he's maicon, shooting from the byline instead of cutting the ball back. How can SI have removed cut backs from the game ???????? I cant remember seeing 1 player cutting the ball back from the byline.
Constantly getting into space on the side of the area then waiting to be closed down before attempting a cross.Centre backs : Don't read long balls, will constantly try to dribble through the opposition and don't mark properly.
Defenders as a whole only defend properly when using a park the box tactic
cm/cams: rarely play through balls, always hold onto the ball too long. when they receive the ball they always take a touch in the direction the ball came from (slowing down moves)
Wingers: Don't cross when the opportunity to play the striker in occurs, dont cut the ball back from the byline and shoot terribly
Inside forwards: Rubbish at shooting, playing through-balls and crossing
also playing wingers and IFs on attack mean they dont track back, Playing them on Support they dont get into the box.
Forwards: Miss loads of chances, get hella off sides against deep defenses.... (imagine
) and the runs they make aren't very good.
Corners and freekicks from the update have been crucified, constant headers over the bar, not many freekicks scored.
tactics seem meaningless coz the most type of chances you get are long balls.
Throw ins are annoying someones usually offside if near the corner, the striker always comes short no matter what your tactic may be and players arent defended well from them too.
Pressing: If more than 1 player goes to press the ball both players will run towards the same point leading to the 2 or more pressers standing on the same spot, this is literally the same as being pressed by 1 player.
Speed: Aubameyang Is always getting caught when through on goal, It is mythical to see a player through on goal creating distance whilst players are chasing him whilst dribbling.
Tactics are meaningless, no one can play like brazil 2010 or peps barca the match engine doesn't support this type of play
All of these have contributed to me giving up on fm. It's too anti-goal!
It's a game fun should not be substituted for "realness" please remember this!

Round the keeper since shots are usually straight at the keeper or off target
Just dont expect the chance to be converted

Has anyone else got an issue with final ball decision making, ie; with fulbacks waiting to be closed down before crossing into a defender or cams holding onto the ball when a striker makes the occasional good run. Feels like the only play makers in the game are the defenders from their own half?
I'm finding the match engine only allows for success (a high goals to chances rate) if your pumping balls over the top to a tall fast stiker, makes me wonder whats the point of all them tactical options im yet to see a tiki taka tactic breed success.

I’ve got a Defender with 15 heading and he’s scored 9 this year from corners and free kicks.
I got kimpembe hes scored about 5 but has missed about 50 only bothers me when we can't score but hes winning so many headers

Fot me the balls over the top is much more annoying
Very over powered but the problem lies with the players moving towards the ball sometimes I see a player further away going to intercept, sometimes I see defender confront of the attacker just stop running either way my keeper makes the save 2 times out of 3 so I just role my eyes since it's not impossible I guess 🙄.

We use a sample size of 5000 matches.
I meant if players get less penalties then they see less misses.
Also find it baffling that for every league you use world averages to determine pen success rates (around 65%) when the prem pen success rates (over last 5 seasons) have been higher (+ 5 - 15%) per season. shouldn't higher leagues have higher success rates, due to the abilities of the players?

I don't see what the issue really is here? The shooter is inside the six yard box and his team mates are 10 yards behind him, not square, and there is a defender in the way. You would always expect a player to shoot there.
Theres four players by the penalty spot unmarked waiting for a cut back and saka just got passed his man of course he should be cutting it back! hes practically shot from the byline.
Oh soz should I use "cut back" instead of "square"
Saka is parallel with the keeper by the time he shoots with four unmarked men to cut the ball back to how can you claim the defender is in the way when hes clearly behind him when he shoots!

This should feel much better balanced post 20.2 update due to the overall number of penalties being lower.
We statisically have the same penalty conversion as real world top leagues so we will need PKM's if people are seeing too many being missed.
This sounds like a cop out, smaller sample size will hide the problem

Players still not squaring the ball. Its actually ridiculous.

Which is weird, considering that quite a few more recent have argued how the game had a huge bias towards attacking Play (and sitting Deep was not viable). To me the ultimate stress test of the Deep block will be once you are able to go what Burnely did in 2017. Sitting Deep, averaging 20 shots against, yet conceding no more than 12 Goals in between August and December.
in terms of converting chances to goals i've constantly struggled to score with strong teams against these packed defenses however I see plenty chances created I will usually score 1 then they might score from a set piece or long ball.

Which seems weird, considering that shot and SOT to Goal ratios are stats that Si soak test every year. But: With AI tactics, naturally… plus averages over thousands of matches. As to counter attacks, sure it depends on the release and how open the AI are, but since this was adressing "FM in General", you mean like these?
To me its obvious that the game must favor soaking up pressure, sitting deep then countering. but I find that boring, how can a game only favor 1 tactic? And that's due to decision making of the players being wrong most of the time around the goal.
I see various decisions that decrease the chance of scoring constantly being made; Players through on goal centrally taking early shots from outside the box, players with time and space in the box taking weak shot that the keeper catches
, full backs running the hypotenuse to the byline so more defenders can close him down then shooting instead of driving the ball across goal (this kind of stuff should cause havoc with a packed defense but i've never seen an own goal coz they rarely cross from the byline), inside forwards/wingers are mostly shooting with their weaker foot when they cut in (no mahrez finesse shots), headers on goal are just trash since this new update whether thats under-pressure or not, a lot of these headers should be a knock downs, passes and crosses happen a couple seconds after there's a clear chance to put a player in and lastly the wrong players going to the ball ie balls played towards the wide player in space but the, might be, offside striker picks up the ball bringing his marker with him instead of making space for the winger.
All these things dont appear to be rectifiable through tactics which causes even more frustration

Crikey I thought this was just me! Checked mine and the opposition have scored 63% of them against me!
That's just league games though, all is a little lower (68%) but I just started 2nd season so friendlies would be included.

They have missed the penalty I suspect. Penalties are always considered big chances by OPTA
They scored it. I'm just going to assume that big chances created don't include big chances that aren't from a team mate.

Just checked on https://www.premierleague.com/stats/top/clubs/big_chance_created?se=274
And apparently this season chelsea missed 33 out of 33 big chances. But they've scored a penalty this season so I don't understand what this stat represents I've also seen abraham score a couple when through on goal.
In contrast I know cccs are usually a player through on goal.

Click Tactics > Analysis > Goals > Clear Cut Chances > Domestic League Matches > Last xx Matches (xx = nearest number below the league matches you've played).
Mine says in my last 25 league matches I've created 58 CCCs and converted 32 of them. While the opposition have created 31 CCCs and converted 21.
Obviously that doesn't tell you about 1v1s but you mentioned CCCs so take a look and check.
In my last 27 league games
My converted ccc is 36 out of 64 so 56%
Converted ccc against me is 20 out of 27 so 74%
I attack alot find I make many chances and many are missed
Seems like the attacking team struggles to convert cccs

I find the responsibilities section as a whole not very transparent this year.
If you take off the loan managers' finding development loans for young players option it all stops. I don't mind him finding loans I just don't want him "Finalizing" anything.
I got this problem with my dof and finalizing new staff I recruit. I want him to renew new contacts not finalize offers I made.
With so many options I can't tell what does what anymore

You didn't mention whether these leagues were on full detail though. Your own league will be, but you will have needed to set the others to full manually.
Is that playable? Where can i find this option?

@Svenc Good points and video has opened my eyes, when the random is going against you it "feels" broken.
@FrazT I apologise frustration got the better of me
@HUNT3R I just completed my first season in the prem and the penalty conversion was 63%. In the league I've scored 5 out of 13 penalties 1 team has a worse ratio and that's because they missed their only pen.
I know longer expect to score a penalty which isn't a feeling you should get in football, during playing time.
my best pen taker (16 pen 16 comp 15 fin) scored 2 out of 5 in the league, 2 out of 6 all competitions and has even missed 2 out of 2 in u18/23 non competitive games.
Just looked at spanish league, a lot less pens but still only 65% conversion rate
Prem 76/121 63%
la liga 21/32 65%
Series A 33/38 87%
Bundesliga 29/37 79%
Ligue 1 38/44 87%
That's roughly 73% average which, over the last 5 seasons, is the lower end of the conversion rate you get in the prem.
the amount of pens in other leagues is extremely low as well, another game issue.

) and the runs they make aren't very good.
Why are clearances SOOOOOOOO pathatic when youre an attacking team

I hear that but since the opposition are usually so defensive it isnt easy to exploit, there's so many opposition players to get to the ball first.
