After another 3 or so days cycle where I just give up on the game, decided to give it another shot.
Second game, typical home game against a lower-table team, 24 shots, 9 on target, with 1 goal.

Then I concede from this:

This happens way too often.
My team has a throw in on the opposition half and it ends like this every other game.
I have 3 players set to stay back and one more to stay back if needed.
Opposition clears the throw, their winger gets the ball, drags 4 of my players with him as if it was some pre-school game where everyone runs after the ball and that leaves huge amount of space open for the opposition in the middle.
This is ridiculous. Please show me one situation where any remotely good defense would allow themselves to end up in a situation like this. Even with Messi on the ball.

And of course it ends 1-1.

This is the worst match engine I've played on since forever. The only thing that works are those idiotic 3 striker formations that basically exploit the game.

EDIT: next game, this time after corner, same thing. Just alt+f4ed after this. Won't be starting this season until ME is fixed. If it doesn't, then I won't be playing.

 

That's because goals are pre-determinded and the ME has to render away for the goal to happen - each ME iteration, aside from balance is just a excerise in how to disguise it.

I was excited for this years version, first time in a long time, I played FM18 and 17 etc before it, but this one I was excited for. Some actually innovation seemed to take place for this version. I couldn't be more disappointed. The ME balance is hideous for some many reasons already listed here.

I work for a software company who have no direct comptetion, believe me, I know what that does. I don't want to sound like a negative nancy, but SI need competition, we're just at pure stagnation at this point.

The cycle is the same every year. The intial release is borked and a step back from the one before. We go almost an entire year until it's actually pretty legit, but still with issues, it's no longer being worked on at this point - new release comes around same cycle. Never having a game that's actually repsectable in the way it works from a technical standpoint.

What's 'Other Income' and how does it affect finances? I tried looking through various Championship sides to get an understanding, they're all so vastly different.

[The Italian Job! Italian league thread is here!]

Sampdooooooorrrrrrria - Nice Kit - Has my name in the name - An awesome team in the 90s when Italian Football was the bomb. 

The main struggle will be transitioning a team with almost no width into a 4-4-2

HI, not sure if this belongs here.

I've never messed about with editing before - are there any good resources people know of that will allow me to create good looking kits and badges if I wanted to create a team? 

 

 

[Teams to Manage - FM19]

If only Hamburg were not sponserd by Fly Emirates, as a united fan - it makes me sick - I have to like the kit and the sponser, makes chosing a team hard

[FM19: The English Football League thread]

Haven't decided on my team yet. Don't usually manage in the English Football Leagues, but looking forward to it this season. 

Considering Wednesday. 

What I really want is a team who can play Treq - Pressing Forward up top and wingers in a 4-4-2 from the off is preferable

 

If anyone knows of a team in the Champ or League 1 that can facilitate this style well, let me know. 

[Teams to Manage - FM19]

Man Utd -  The team I support, but haven't managed since early 00s Championship manager because boring, now they've properly fallen from grace, they become an interesting prospect again. 

Bournemouth - They play 4-4-2 with Wingers, how I grew up to love football. 

Norwich -  My home city, got a good group of young players. 

Gladbach - Always, usually my main save, my go to German team, great history, good young players, the players really suit 4-4-2 as well. 

Sampdoria/Torino - Not decided on my Italian team of choice, probably Sampdoria, loved the early 90s team that won the league. Only gripe is they lack options for width

Teams where I can immediately play with a strike partnership of Treq - Pressing Forward and a segundo Volante 

[FM19- Bundesliga Thread]

It'll be Gladbach for me, always have done a Gladbach save - They have good history, love the idea of bringing them back to the top - great youth facilites, the players to play 4-4-2 and some immense young talent.

[Quickfire Questions and Answers Thread (Tactic and Training Questions Only)]

Anyone have Success using 2 Segundo Volante's one on support the other attack?

Trying to build a nice 442 with 2 deepish strikers making room for the Inside Forward,

 

Is this like, the worst idea?

[1. Fergie's Red Empire]

Anyone got any updates or having success??
