[The Worst Match Engine I've Ever Played]

Listern to this kid... 'He's set the players/Team up right so that means he should win every game. This is football lad.. welcome to the most random sport in the world.

[The database which this game is made on is going downhill fast..]

I don't know if you're struggling for researchers but how can you get away with making a player -9 and then put zero stats into their profile? Nicola Armini for Lazio is the player in comment. It would of took the Lazio/Italian researcer 2 mins to look up that he was 182 on transfermarket. Worst researched database in FM history. My god, standards are slipping.

Props to SI on this update. The match engine seems 100% better. Less ping pong stuff more smooth play. Finally FM18 has arrived.

Despite having an unbeaten start to the season, I'm finding it really hard to like the ME so far. The vast majority of goals, both for and against, seem to originate from an inexplicably bad pass (often from a quality player who has many options) - which turns possession over. This brings me to the next issue I have with the match experience, which is extremely inconsistent player reactions to loose balls, particularly defenders and DMs. It seems like the player who is closest to a loose ball is seldom the guy that actually reaches it.

Passing in the middle third for both human and AI teams seems decent, but in the final third, I'm seeing some horrible stuff; culminating in rash long range shots despite several better sideways and forward options. For me, the FM17 ME had better variety, more fluidity and a greater feeling of reward when you scored a good team goal. 

Finally, defending indirect set pieces is the single biggest problem with the current build. Your defence sets up like a conga line with unmarked players outside the box. The AI just roll the ball across and they either (a) score a from distance, or (b) play in another unmarked player in the box because your defence doesn't break from the conga line formation. 

Totally agree. The match engine in 17 seemed alot cleaner than 18.

Do these show up in the background  instead of the 3-d pitch when you play a game?
