It might not be unplayable but it's certainly not enjoyable, which for me is the same thing. I only watch key highlights and rely on match stats to let me know where I have problems and I find the stats this year are absolutely no help. The amount of games with 15 cc that have come from long balls over the top resulting in a missed one on one is absurd. Maybe the scores and results reflect real life but the match stats definitely don't.

Certainly not something obvious, Spurs qualified in my game having not been in either European competition let alone winning. Finished 8th in the prem, fa Cup semi final and league Cup runners up.

As the title suggests really. Champions league final with Bournemouth against FM Man Utd (the team that performs least like their real life counterparts) and it's desmond. Get a penalty and instead of being by one of my 3 listed pen takers, it's taken by a player who has scored twice. He misses. How do I stop this from happening? (the taker, not the outcome)

Well multiplayer now doesn't work so no I don't have anything better to do cuz I can't play FM

Probably the worst update ever

How come I can go on holiday at 5pm on a Saturday after a game on single player but on network I have to wait until the Sunday?

New patch has just broken the game for me on network. Can't confirm any subs, can't even cancel trying to make a sub so it's either 90 mins with the same players or can't complete a game,can't confirm bids for any players, can't offer players out.

Thanks Neil

My update has paused saying 'missing file privileges'. Any ideas how to resolve?

Having played a bit more I'm really not a fan of the whole match day experience now. Never played 3d as I simply don't like it even tho I do try it out each FM but its just not for me. So many extra clicks, lack of a proper split screen view and having to choose between seeing match stats and a blank pitch when no highlight or not being able to see match stats when there isn't a highlight. I don't mind dynamics, don't particular enjoy that side of the game but adds an extra challenge. Upsetting my players left right and center every time I try and sell someone. Players not interested in what I've got to say at team talks but yet react positively to my team talks doesn't really make sense. As Everton I signed Belotti to join Sandro and Rooney in a front 3. All 3 new to the club, never played together before. Rooney & Sandro have an untestested partnership as do Sandro and Belotti, not Belotti & Rooney tho. Was surprised to see Kane & Eriksen having an untested partnership at Spurs, must have been watching a different team for the last few seasons. Seeing a lot of crosses being tipped over the bar by the keeper with a 'he didn't mean that'. Might just be my tactics or me just not remembering that aspect of the FM17 match engine as I'm still pining over the things that have changed that I miss.

On FM17 when the half time or full time whistle went it would take you straight to the team talk. Om FM18 you have to click to get to team talk. Why has this click been added?

Don't have many complaints about the game so far but the bits i don't like i really don't like. No issues with the match engine so far but early days, played about 20 games. Have always played split screen so not to be able to find that as an option is just baffling. Having exclusively played split screen for the past however many years I'm now struggling to find out how to see my clear cut & half cut chances during the game. Any tips greatly appreciated, I can get it to show while a highlight is playing but nothing when its not. One thing I have noticed is that players are disinterested before every team talk. All 3 aspects of dynamics are better than average but players are just disinterested despite the overall positives.

When signing a player without a work permit I'd like to see some players reject the transfer as they are clearly not going to be playing for the club for a while. Also when you place a player without a work permit on the loan list and they ask why, surely they should be an option to say it's because you don't have a work permit

Isn't championship level attendance the 5th highest in Europe? Setting the bar pretty high for it to be included

Has Fm16 predicted that the most popular haircut with the youth around the world next year is going to be the mohican? Most of the regens I've encountered have been sporting a mohawk
