Sounds like the 1967 European Cup Final when Celtic won in the heat of Lisbon

17.3.0 is the latest database version, 17.3.1 is the latest game version
Is there a way to get this update manually? When I tried to start a new game, 17.3.0 was only one I could could choose.
If you want to start a save with all the new transfers in it, is there any difference between 17.3.0 and 17.3.1?

Is 17.3.0 the most recent update? I thought I saw something about 17.3.1? Only asking as I want start a new save and want to make sure I'm playing the most up to date version

What's the likelihood of a player ever learning a PPM that a coach says they can't see being successful? I want one of my young attacking midfield prospects to learn to play more one-twos but every single coach (starting with the more obvious ones first of course i.e attacking and technique based coaches) says the same thing, they don't think it will be successful and recommend he learns to play more killer balls instead. Now this player I intend to use as a shadow striker not a playmaker so I don't want to use their suggestion, however I've ignored their advice twice now and twice the player has been unsuccessful in learning the one-two trait.
Is he ever going to succeed or has it been determined already that he'll never be able to learn it? Would better coaches make a difference?
i think it depends on the ability of the coach as well as the player himself. This has happened to me many time and i find it best just to ignore the coach's advice and press ahead with the training anyway. Sometimes they learn the move the coach said they wouldn't, sometimes they don't. Each case is different

Generally at least two, plus and one additional for each player the opposition keeps forward (so that I'm never one on one). Problem's mostly the free kick quality and the transition afterwards.
That's strange as I also keep two back and never seem to get hit on the counter at free kicks but have been stung a few times from corners. I may be wrong here but aren't the default set ups for free kicks the same as whatever you set for corners? For example, it's same defender that attacks the near post at both free kicks and corners. Maybe you are over thinking things

How do I avoid taking goals on the counter after a free kick in my favour? I'm having a load of problems with my free kicks always being too short (not getting it past the first defender despite instructions to hit it to the far post), it being headed away, my players all being static while my opponents burst forward and hit me on the counter, often resulting in a goal. The lack of options on attacking free kicks also doesn't give me the chance to, like with corners, put someone outside the box. This is driving me insane and has caused me to actually quit and restart several games which I hate doing. I don't mind losing, even if I'm the better team, but I hate losing because of goals like the above where I don't have anything to prevent them except keeping my entire team back..
How many men do you keep back?

In that specific example, Positioning every single time. For me, keepers in the right position don't have to make super difficult saves.
It's strange how goalkeepers in FM can work on positioning all by themselves but to work on one v ones, they need a coach to be there. I guess it must be because positioning training is just spending time daydreaming by each post and occasionally standing in the middle of the goal picking your nose or, in the case of Sutton United, eating a pie

I think it stopped being an option in FM14 or 15, and they can't be given an attack duty any more either.
It's pretty contradictory in terms - AML/R are aggressive positions, almost pseudo-striker positions if you will, so a "Defensive" winger role here doesn't really fit the bill.
What about the role Dirk Kuyt played for Liverpool? Not exactly known for his creative or scoring abilities, he was in the team for his willingness to run all game and defend from the front. What was that if not a defensive winger?

I probably am making it worse! It's more the defensive side. I can use the list of attributes required for each role but I then need a view to see which of my players is most suited to which job.
Marking, heading and positioning are the ones you should be looking out for. At corners I usually have somebody on each post, a player zonally marking each end of the six yard box, three man markers and a player at the edge of the box whilst leaving two upfront.

Surely it's time for FM to properly separate the instructions for the defensive and offensive phases of games. This would allow for transitions between defence and attack that more closely mirror the real life game where it is actually possible to be structured in defence whilst at the same time remaining fluid in attack when you win the ball back

Just out of interest, how do AI coaches train a player's leadership if set as individual training? Is it a case of telling a player to stand in front of a mirror and practice their speech

This was discussed in the Feature Requests section.
Yes it was, by me and only me. I was just double checking here that i hadn't missed out on something and that there wasn't a way of improving this attribute in some way through training

You've been given this answer before.
It's individual focus training. You're giving an individual something to focus on. To train 1v1s, there will need to be another "1" (it's in the name) which won't happen if the player is on his own.
The training module will need to change for this to be possible.
I only asked again because herne79 seemed to miss what I was asking and as a result his answer wasn't the clearest. All I was doing was trying to clear up the confusion surrounding both the original question and the answer I was given

Yes, it's part of the individual goalkeeper training for either the Goalkeeper or Sweeper Keeper roles. However, there is no specific focus training for 1v1s.
so the answer to my question is no, there isn't a way to get your goalkeeper to work on and improve upon his ability at one v ones. It's more a case of crossing my fingers and hoping he improves this ability over time as opposed to giving him a specific training exercise and expecting him to improve?

Is there a way within the current training system to improve a goalkeeper's ability at one v ones with training?

I remember a german left winger who seemingly everyone bought on either cm4 or 03/04 but i can't for the life of me remember his name. All i can think is he cost about 400k.
I would have said Adolf Hitler but I think he was a right winger and quite possibly dead by then

l know back in the day you could be in an offsides position and interfere with the play if the defending team played it back first. Maybe a bad example but back in the day Liverpool vs Boro, Liverpool played the ball down the right and Boro defender headed it backward. Morientes was in an offsides position and scored because Boro played the ball last.
It's always been the case @kopking488 that you can't be offside from an opposition backpass

You appeared to be arguing that a player could obstruct a keeper's view and not be offside (which I don't think is true fwiw)
I pointed out that contrary to what others have said in the thread any attempt to play the ball, regardless of whether it has any effect on the ball or other players, automatically brings offside players into play
No, I simply meant that you could be beyond the defensive line and be in the keepers eyeline but still be onside as long as you don't move forwards the ball. This is completely different to standing directly in front of the keeper and obstructing either his view or the keeper himself. For example, a shot could whizzing past your head and into the back of the net but as long as you didn't make a movement to try and get to the ball it would still count and you would be deemed onside

As I understand it, if your striker makes a play for the ball he should be given offside even if he doesn't touch it or deceive the goalkeeper in any way. That rule was updated at the beginning of last season.
That's what I said

Yes, it is possible to be in an offside position and interfering with play ( like standing in the eye line of the keeper) and so be ruled offside without touching the ball.
I'm pretty sure the new rule that came into force at the start of the season is that you have to make a movement towards the ball in order for you to be offside. Therefore you can be between the defensive line and the goalkeeper when the ball is played but still be onside as long as you don't make a movement for the ball even if you are in the goalkeeper's eyeline

Ok when was this question raised?
I asked in this thread a few hours ago about why positions have built-in roles but the post was removed. I don't know why this was the case as this is a relevant question in the correct thread

Don't need stats for the Celtic game as the game is easily available on DVD therefore I can just watch it. Also Charles Rep and his long ball tactics had nothing to do with Scottish football.
