  1. Have to admit i am having great fun recently as i have accepted i can't play the controlled style i wan't. The defending is an absolute shambles - it's not possible to keep scores down so i just turn matches into basketball games and try and outgun the opposition now. Even in games where you have limited the opposition and are winning comfortably by 3 or 4 goals, they will score late on by pouring 16 people forward next goal is the winner roy of the rovers style.  I have stopped caring about the catastrophic defending. You see highlights and you can tell the opposition is going to ping it over the top misjudged by everyone or the goal keeper rushes out but the opposition striker misses an open goal if you are lucky you can laugh at it.

    its a shame i am reading this thread.

    i was going to buy the new game ( after many years away of playing) for a long time save to get me back in to playing the game.

    looks like i wont bother.

    To be fair i have been critical of the game but i have a current save that is 13 years deep into the game and still enjoying it and that is probably the longest beta save i have ever had and i am still enjoying it so i don't know if it's completely game breaking

    You Shall Not Pass - Your team went 30 consecutive competitive matches without conceding a goal.

    What teams and leagues do you think is best placed to achieve this? It feels like an entirely unrealistic and soul crushing achievement, but nonetheless, still going to give it a bash. 

    I would hazard a guess that this achievement is basically impossible on this current match engine. It does not matter if you have a team full of prime Baresi and Maldini's, a clownshoes goalkeeping moment will happen every other game. Some else said that this would be impossible without cheating and i agree for this year. I have managed it in previous editions of the game but it was usually in a lower league save where you played crap teams all year and got lucky.

    Sounds quite normal . The last throws of a game teams will push for a win . You only have to look at real results of teams scoring at 90 minutes plus . I always find that too . 

    Yup sounds quite normal teams pushing for a win in the last 10 minutes when 4-0 down.....

     

    Ironically i don't tend to concede many goals late on when drawing or winning by 1 goal.

    Outside of Europe it seems like using the 5-3-2 agaisnt you has been effective. I am guessing you are a few seasons deep to be in the Euorpa League as Queeks Park and in the qualifying there are a lot of not great teams. Hell even my awful Flint Town/Banger team from Wales busted a few noses in the qualifying rounds!

    Looking at those results nothing jumps out at me as being too bad and we can see that Oostende did knock past 3 you.

    Yeah 2026 - 2027 season - i had qualified a few times for Conference league with 5th place finishes but knocked out straight away before. Won the Scottish cup which got me into Europa League Q - lost to Salzburg and dropped into the conference League group league new structure.

    I think my tactic or roles does not match up well to these formations as even though the results tell one story - the actual games i always feel vulnerable. St Mirren do seem to have my number.

    5-3-2 certinally does not have to be defensive. Your wingbacks can be very attacking minded and you could have an extra 2 midfielders push forwards. I play a 5-3-2 (sometimes DM, sometimes flat 3, sometimes AMC) and it can be very attacking/controlling/defensive. Super flexable.

    Did you win or lose those games in which the AI played a 5-3-2?

    It seems to be impacting on European games more - possibly because i don't have these leagues loaded? Again maybe reputation based. So yes i really should not be complaining as besides 2 loss to St Mirren its all been good for me.

    https://gyazo.com/2882027b698589c003105b216e76eb39 League table - St Mirren in second after 18 games with a good squad that should be running over the top of me - just adds to the bizarreness of the whole thing.

    Some of these games are not a 5 -3 - 2 but a 3 4 2 1 - Basically with 2 wingers and a striker rather than 2 strikers.

     

  7. Can we talk about opposition tactics - for the supposedly much improved AI - every single game its now 5 - 3 - 2 with 8 defensive players and 2 strikers - like 10 times worse than previous years - i am queens park and playing in europe against some decent opposition and whether its hearts hibs or young boys its all the same. I would imagine that its reputation based as this was not happening in my first 3 seasons or so and its only from the season after when i managed to win the scottish cup

    I don't know if this is something new to this years game or not but it's the first time I've saw it happen and it's now happened in both transfer windows.

    My key players are being looked at by big PL teams such as City and Arsenal - in the final day of the transfer window, they approach with loan offers with mandatory buy-in clauses at the end? Never came across this before and I'd assume their budgets would be able to afford my players (managing in Scotland) so just not sure why their trying to the loan option first. Happened twice now, once in the summer by City and now in January by Arsenal. 

    Anyone else had this?

    If that was real life it would sound like a circumventing of the current years FFP - maybe that is the reason?

  9. I have accepted that wing play is the way to play for now as much as it bugs me.

     

    However the game is unplayable right now. Players seem to have no concept that they are or have been injured. Players bursting your office door down to leave  because of 'lack of playing time' as as  soon as they return to light training - not even in a condition to play. They are unhappy before you even have a chance to play them . Where do you even start with that?
