This is the holiest crap I have ever seen in my entire life and it's holiness comes from it's magnificent history which leaves only crap for this version of the game.
I am sorry to repeat the obvious issues but can't help the feeling of frustration and disappointment. I am addicted to this game since 2000. God bless Maxim Tsigalko and may Assane N'Diaye's soul rest in peace.
This game is not playable. It's not about winning or losing. In fact, the broken ME helped me a lot in defeating European giants with my moderate Beşiktaş, using easy long balls from midfielders that most of the time creates one on ones. On Champions League, I play with ME exploiting tactic 4-4-2 with a balanced mentality and more direct passing because all other options besides a couple of one and ones fail frequently on scoring. My main tactic on domestic competitions is a 4(WB-BPD-BPD-WB)-1(DLP)-2(B2B, CM)-2(IW, IW)-1(AF) with an attacking mentality. If I use Sergio Gomez, I play him as an Advanced Playmaker on MC and switch my DM to an Anchor Man or a Defensive Midfielder.
Here is an example of my performance;
I have never played this game just for winning. I want my team to play a certain style of football. But no matter what I do, the defensive line is always high, letting long balls that end in one and ones. My keeper Livakovic(One on ones:18) is a spider who plays with 7.31 rating on continental competitions, nearly saving every penalty and one on one. He is so good that I can't sell him no matter what other team offers me. My team do also often pass long balls, although I want them to play narrow with shorter passing with each and every one having shorter passing instructions. I want my wingers to shoot less often and cross more often but they do shoot from every absurd angle and never pass. I am craving for an easy tap in after a low cross from the winger to the running striker. All I watch time and time again is a side netting shooting from that kind of highlight;
I have tried to find quickest defenders to cover long balls but they end up chasing running strikers and falling behind nearly all the time no matter what the striker's acceleration, dribbling or pace ratings are. If the opponent player is taking a free kick from the right or left side of the field, if it is not close to my 18 yard box, I know that the highlight will end with a one on one situation. Moreover I am having heart attacks every time my defender runs for a ball going towards the touchline for him to stop the ball and wait for the pressing opponent to prepare him a one on one chance.
And what the hell is wrong with the headers? Players never hit the target on their headers and if they somehow find the target, ball goes directly to the arms of the keeper or he makes an impossible reflex save. With all the corners, free kicks, crosses etc. look at my goal stats. 68 goals, just 3 headers. By the way, my main defenders are having jumping reach/heading attributes as; 17/12 and 14/12 and my teams average height is 182cm so I am not playing with headless midgets. Sergio Gomez and Batista Meier are my corner/free kick takers with 15 each corner/free kick attributes.
Again, how can a scoring from a direct free kick be easier than a penalty? I am more hopeful when my players are shooting free kicks around the box than a penalty. You can find goal stats above.
I may be wrong on this one as I haven't seen anyone complain about it but another thing that bothers me about player performance is consistency. For example one match, a player scores a hat trick and then go scoreless for 5 matches in a row. If it was just one or two players, I would say that their hidden consistency ratings may be low but this is for nearly every attacking player for me. I am on my 4th year so I can say that I have used a bunch of players. The point is if players are on their form, they are nearly unstoppable. They score one on ones, though angle shots etc. But lots of matches same players squander easy chances which make me think that there is a problem with the effects of consistency rating. What I wait from the game is, if a player has great scoring attributes(finishing, composure etc.), and couple of ccc every match; he will score constantly. He may have bad days that he can't score and better days he can score a bunch. But with the relatively same amount of chances, what I get is a monster for a match and an inept for a couple of matches that can't even score an empty net goal. There is no balance. As I said, I might be wrong on this one but this is my experience.
I may be biased on this one but I also find out that scoring CCC are easier against better(attacking) opponents. This may be the reason behind overachieving as I have seen some overachieving users are finding ccc converted with high frequency. What I can say from my experience is, my team is converting CCC against tougher (Champions League) teams frequently than easier (domestic relegation candidates) opponents.
As I said, I am playing this game for years, thousands of hours each. This is my first post on this forum as this time, the problems are incredibly annoying. Although it is great in lots of aspects, this ME is the worst version I have ever used because of certain patterns ruining the experience. After 280 hours of playing, 4 seasons, hours of searching and scouting, trying to find and develop young players, investing on club facilities etc. I have ended up with the same and boring kind of matches. Independent from the tactic or style I use; If my winger cuts inside with the ball I know that he is shooting into the side netting. If there is a corner or a cross, I wait for it to go over the bar. Penalty will be missed, a side free kick will end up with a one on one etc.
Damned Football Manager, the destroyer of relationships and the killer of productivity. I can't help it, I am addicted.
Sorry for my bad English.
Hope for a quick fix and great experience for all the doomed addicts, brothers, friends, romans, countrymen..
