and @Armistice (in case you log in on your other account), check out my current thread in the T&T forum.  Lots of videos and screenshots there .

Don’t worry my man I am not trying to hide my identity, I just like the new username, it has actually became a meme this “it’s your tactics” thing.

People who have major complaints about a video game are generally far more vocal than those who don't. You won't find a lot of people posting on feedback threads just to say, "Yeah, everything's fine. "

As has been stated before, only a small percentage of FMers post on these forums, and the biggest complaints come from only a small percentage of those.

Yeah but the average FMer won't spend hours on analysis and spotting what's wrong with his tactic. Hell, he might just go on and download a tested tactic and use it so he can simply buy wonderkids, improve them, sell them and press Continue until the club he manages becomes a giant. It doesn't mean anything. Being unaware of problems doesn't mean they're not there.

The other stuff that a minority bang on about - immobile strikers, inability to play a through-ball, wingers coming too narrow (or not narrow enough) - I'm just not seeing.

Minority? There are more people on this thread complaining about strikers and attacking movement than those who are happy with it.

I've played more than a dozen saves with clubs from the PL down to non-league and my sides have scored every kind of goal I'd expect to see, including defence-splitting through-balls, crosses, killer balls from deep, intricate pass-and-move around the area, strikers dropping deep or pulling wide to create a chance for a midfielder, shots from 20-25 yards. My strikers don't score every one-on-one but they score plenty.

Ok but can you post some highlights or pictures of those?

I've said it before but it bears a lot of repeating... every time I watch real-life football I'm struck by how much it looks like FM. World-class wingers and wing-backs hitting the cross into the defender, or over-hitting it out of play on the far side. Strikers missing 'easy' chances. Defenders making utterly incomprehensible mistakes. Keepers fumbling a shot into the net. And, yes, 'better' teams dominating possession, chances, shots on goal, and losing.

Yeah you might be right here, football is not as fluid as it used to be, but the problem is much bigger than simply missing easy chances or crosses being blocked. The game's depiction of attacking play is poor even in its most basic form, you might be able to improve converting those easy chances or having more completed crosses by bringing a better player in, but the problem with the attacking movement cannot improved at all because it's something hardcoded in the game and some roles.

Just to make myself clear, don't beat it to me with roles and duties because I'm not talking about that and it's simply just another poor reasoning to avoid dissecting the main problem, what I'm saying is that some roles and duties are not working as they should and no matter what world class player you bring in, it won't affect that because it's how the game plays.
