    I'm not even trolling but that's a tactical problem

    Lower your tempo, defensive line & LOE, work ball into the box etc to start with, post a thread up on the tactic pages for some in depth help  

    Im trying to stick with the 4-1-2-3 or 4-2-1-3 but I just dont think away from home that either of them are possible as it stands.

    Like all the other teams you're playing against as well?

    I swear people don't realize that it isn't only your clubs that's terrible when you're in the lower leagues.

    Youre missing the point. This is why its harder isnt it? All the sides are terrible. Literally nearly every club in league 2 is exactly the same. It is far easy to improve a club like Newcastle in the game than it is Crewe Alexandra.

    Bournemouth should be challenge of course. But you are talking like we didnt try lower leagues and we did. Many times. I made new club in FM17 and start in Eng div2, thats 4th tier league, right? and in 10 seasons i won 3 times Premier League with that club. Isnt that 2 easy ? Plus i was hit with hard Brexit so i couldnt buy wunderkinds from other countries. 

    What do you mean isnt that too easy? It depends on a whole range of factors. Should Leicester have won the PL in 2016? Should Real Madrid have won 3 CL's in a row?? I dont see the problem.

    Ive done llm... Completed it. 

    All the constraints you mention apply to your opponent too. To the point its much more of a level playing field in those divisions where the gap between talent and budget is tiny. The gap between Barcelona and say Huesca or Leganes is monumental, hundreds of million.... Much better facilities, much better players. 

    The gap between newport and maidenhead is a slightly bigger shed and newer training bibs. 

    Thats why the best teams in top league are fairly consistently top and lose few games... Where lower leagues have greater spread. 

    Being Bournemouth competing against Liverpool, City, Arsenal, Utd, Chelsea... Should be a lot tougher than it is.

    You clearly have no idea about the lower leagues then and the finances and facilities available to certain clubs. Have a look at some of the clubs in League 1, Sunderland, Portsmouth and Coventry. Compare them to Wycombe and Accrington Stanley.

    It’s the same in League 2 with the likes of MK Dons and Notts County up against Forest Green and Macclesfield.

    A slighter bigger shed and newer training bibs as you so awfully put it is exactly the same as the difference between Bournemouth and Liverpool, Man Utd and Arsenal.

    Well done for completing it though. Kudos to you!

    Why isnt there a poo emoji? 

    This is nonsense, playing against bob the part time postman and the winner of the local village hot dog eating contest et al shouldnt be more difficult than playing as Espanyol vs Barcelona. 

    If anything dropping down to the duldrums with useless part time players is far easier as you just need to sign physical players and use a tactical edge. At the top you need tactical edge and long term squad building... Because you are playing against the best teams in the world. 

    Most of the feedback in terms of the game being easy, certainly my own impression, is a direct comparison to previous editions. 

    Yes i am a long term player and good at tactics and i know most of the players in europes top league and englands professional leagues.... But comparing my bournemouth save from fm18 to fm19 with the same tactics and largely the same personnel... Fm 19 proved a lot easier 

    So you want to poo his emoji yet only took one of his examples. 

    And by the way.. Your comment on being down in the lower leagues with useless part-time players is hilarious. Do some research. Its far easier being Chelsea, competing for the top players in Europe with Man Utd and easily beating teams like Brighton and Newcastle over being Newport County and trying to find players to go up against 23 other teams of pretty much the exact same quality. This is on top of everything else being poorer in the lower leagues including facilities, quality of staff and regens.

    Great! I'll adjust every 100.000 managers in game!

    Great and ill do the same by making it all a little easier for myself so then I can actually get the result I want.

    Orrrr Ill just accept the game for what it is, keep putting in the hours and the effort and just accepting the fact some people will find it easier than others. Like with EVERY SINGLE game in the world.

    I presume there's a difference between let's say Pep or Klopp and a lower league manager, attribute-wise. I presume that attributes define if the manager is any good at tactics, buying the right players, training youth players, ... 

    So 4 difficulty settings would make this for example:
    EASY: attributes * 0.75
    NORMAL: attributes * 1
    HARD: attributes * 1.5
    VERY HARD: attributes * 2

    Impossible to implement you say?

    You can do this yourself using the Editors provided? It makes the game less realistic in my opinion.

    Making AI managers better.

    Too broad. You cant just say "make them better." How? You want to see them buying better players? You want to see them winning more games? There will be so many factors to make that remotely possible. Saying make the manager better isn’t really a thing. I can’t imagine the amount of detail involved in making these games but id suggest some people will never be happy regardless. 

    Like I said. Im really struggling this year. I cant seem to find a solution at all. I cant keep clean sheets and my strikers cant score. Hopefully they can make the AI manager worse.

    That's just pure nonsense you're telling! I don't say it's easy, but I think there are quite a few things that are more difficult to implement that are already in the game..

    You call the AI squad building and transfer policy realistic? And what does FIFA have to do with a more challenging AI?

    I asked you for some suggestions on how you would introduce a difference to the difficulty? Well......

    :applause:Yes, thats why i dont feel well  when people start to talk how FM is simulation and realistic. Ai is bad, their conversion is much lower then ours. Also, when we play for example, with Southampton against Arsenal or some other top 6 club, i dont feel that im Southampton and that i play against much better club. I dont actually see any power of AI. During the game or during the transfer season. AI squad build is still bad. And when we ask for code to make game better with mods, they say big no. When we ask to add game difficulty, they say its simulation of football so again, like secred cow, answer is big no. They are making the game for people who just start to play FM, they dont think about people who are playing this game for 10+ years and need challenge. I would really like that in future, maybe in 5 years, maybe 10, Miles start his talks with "this year, we are making FM for real challenge and for people who are playing this game for a long time and need challenge." And maybe, one day, they add option at the start of the game with name realistic simulation with brutal AI. Im 39 now, i play this game since 1993, i would really like to see that day. 

    This game would be blast if i can play online with 5-6 people, that would be challenge. But im not 16 anymore and its hard find 5 players that can play in same time. 

    So what you want is a game to match what you want? What about everyone else? What about the 16 year olds who are just getting into FM? What about people like me who haven’t had the game for 3 years so are coming to grips with it again? 

    Its very easy to sit there and say, well I prefer it this way and I prefer it that way so that is what I want.. It doesn’t work like that. If you don’t like the game then that’s your problem.

    I’m actually finding this years FM incredibly infuriating. I think the ME is poor and I cant seem to find a tactic that works consistently. 

    Maybe I should ask the developers to make it a bit easier for people like me?

    Strikers are utterly useless on this, lack of movement and awful finishing. Not had a striker get more than 9 goals in 5.5 seasons yet. Doesn't even make a difference by switching to a 4312, poor finishing 1v1 and too many blocked shots. Of course the AI don't have these issues, regularly scoring with their first shot or two on target whilst your forwards huff and puff every game. Two recent games saw us have 32 shots vs 5 and draw 1-1 and before that 22 shots to 8 and lose 1-0. 

    Throw ins were good on the beta but are back to FM18 standards now of the ball being thrown anywhere but to your player. 

    The FBs dwell on the ball far too much, their positioning when they're open to the pass is poor, often with their back to goal and having to pass the ball straight back but even when they have acres of space they just wait to be closed down before getting tackled, passing the ball back or drilling it into the shins of the defender in a best impression of Antonio Valencia. 

    And it's not the tactics as everything else is going to plan apart from the lack of goals which doesn't make sense considering the formation. 

    I feel like I'm watching the same game every single match. 

    Having all the same issues. Most of the goals im conceding are due to my midfielders messing about on the edge of the box before being tackled and a big lump forward resulting in the AI being through on goal with my defenders nowhere to be seen (regardless of how high I have set my defensive line.) and scoring with no issues. 

    The ME IMO is awful. My players just don’t do anything that resembles my instructions.
