Been using the original one with Sheffield Wednesday. Early days (5 league games in) but unbeaten so far, not conceding many and a couple of 3-0 wins. Looking good..

Absolutely, i can go on a winning run of 7 or 8 games then for no reason I'll lose at home to the bottom club. A few dodgy results later and I'm on another winning run. You might say that's what happens in real life but it just feels scripted, especially when you've had 20 shots, and your opponent has scored from their only one.

I'm seeing all sorts of goals too, little through balls slipped in etc. Certainly not many set piece goals. That's not to say I've been disillusioned using different tactics

Good one this. I always like to imagine the stadium and surrounding roads and fans, its what makes the atmosphere. Been to around 65 English grounds in real life but struggle any further a field so Google maps in game is a great idea !!

Wednesday probably closer to Woking at the moment...

I've just had the early message from my head of youth development regarding this year's intake. He describes the players as always but then goes on to say this intake has the potential to be a Golden Generation for the club (Sheffield Wednesday). Has anyone else ever had this level of Intake? What can I expect in terms of the quality of players compared to the average youth intake ?

Match engine fixed as far as I'm concerned. I'm seeing loads of crosses from byline from my wingers and full backs, some nice goals too. Don't see as many one on ones and if those probably half are scored

During a match I'm seeing something flash up really quickly, don't know how to explain it. Seems like a red background, not enough to stop me enjoying the game, its just weird. Anyone else seen this ?

I'll check it out but enjoying the game so far

Seeing a nice variation of goals. The shooting from tight angles still drives me mad but I like the match engine in general By the way my team Wednesday sold Michail Antonio to fund a deal for Stevie May in real life a few years back... The mind boggles !!

Not sure your average FM player will notice the determination bug. Personally find it difficult to develop youth anyway but maybe that's down to my club's poor youth set up

What is the version number of the latest ME and how do I check what I have ?

VAR seems to be consistent with real life at the moment, very annoying (and thus realistic). Not noticed the woodwork issue The sitters are my main problem, along with the crossfield pinpoint passes

Not sure if the hotfix improved performance or not, it's not as smooth as it should be as I can run GTA V at high/ultra settings If they can iron that out, plus long side to side passes, the one on ones, players not passing even when it's a tight angle, and of course not passing when they've got a team mate on for a tap in, then I reckon they've done a pretty good job Still not sure why the long passes weren't seen before beta was released

They want to sort it out in real life first, complete shambles !!!
