Please tell me, a guy who bailed out of 21 to play FM 18 and be happy, are wingers still mindlessly hitting the ball into fullbacks to get the corner or sometimes they manage to pull a cross or even roll the ball back?

One cannot go back to older versions of one FM, but it's possible to go back to older FMs and it's the best that FM addict can do now. Sorry for the pointless rant

My players play out of defence and don't thump the ball upfield.
It must be your tactics.
I would agree with you if I haven't played with same team before and after the update and if that wasn't the set-up I've been using for couple years already, difference is quite obvious to me. There is a disbalance in ME, not as big as in 20 but still it's there

What's the point of even having dribble less TI if every player either runs to the byline to have another corner via blocked cross or just circles with the ball, waiting for oposition to come back and take their positions? What's the point of having "play out of defence" and GK instructions if those are ditched in favor of thumping the ball upfield? Let's just face it, since 19 (new tactic builder) ME has been inconsistently bad. What's the point of even having tactics builder if engine anyway plays out the same way?
That's rhetorical question

Anyone else have strikers not really scoring? Lewandowski only managed 11 goals in 33 games at the Bundesliga...Messi with a whopping 17...what...
I'm having the same, not those players, but ST in general. I'm telling you people it's FM 20 all over again. But this time with ridiculous interface decisions. Idk maybe SI had a big staff turnover and hired "strange" devs or they are plainly oblivious but this is becoming really funny how they send the game down the drain

Long story short.
I've played with same team before and after update. Well... all fantoms of FM 20 have been back: wingers running into the defenders, to have a blocked cross that of course goes to corner because we all know, balls never get deflected elsewhere, strikers, that scored around 12-15 per season now can't even hit a wall, players ignore partners in good positions and run blindly into defenders (even though dribble less TI is on), defenders kick the ball forward with "play from defence" is on, etc. Everything that pissed me off before, what I though is finally gone is here back again.
I know, opinion of one frustrated gamer is nothing, but damn I'm frustrated. I can't really believe SI doesn't see how unballanced ME has become since FM 19, so I think they just don't care much as long as people buy. I wish they'd have a strong competitor to ground them, maybe this would happen one day. And I'm not getting fooled for my own money anymore, when I need an FM kick I'll get it from past versions. This is the point where I can finally sign off

When the update was out I couldn't get into a save due to work, finally it's NY holidays. Well... I get the feeling that I'm playing 20 again, but with a trashy UI this time. Blocked crosses, impotent strikers again, lack of central play, all that I thought was ok is back now. I know most people enjoy 21, maybe I'll get into it too, but this is a kick in the groin to me

Dumb question, but I can't find it anywhere. Is 21.2 patch save game compatible? I'm quite into my season atm
Thank you

Have to say I was defensive of UI, but it grew on me.
I can't stand press conferences with this tiny font and content, split into two opposite part of the screen. I hope I'll get used to it and just start clicking by memory, cause content remained as stale as it was.
Many people wanted press conferences to change, but in a way of content, not getting ugly layout, that goes against any UI logic

You can't.

This version seems a bit "arcadey" to me.
I play with mdeiocre team by league's standarts and even without going higher than balanced and overpowered gegenpressig I win non-stop, overshoot every opponent for fun and sit first. And oll that with counterattacking setup. Haven't scored a single setpiece goal but tons of clearances over CDs heads.
Feels like playin on easy mode so far. True power trip

I think many people are opposite to you, like me. Once I use the editor, I feel that the save has been "tainted" and that I've got an unfair advantage over the AI. It just makes the game lose some of its value. Like the bible says, "FM is a honorable thing, with the save undefiled". (:
I support this point. But in case of situations, like I've described above there is no way around it, it's a bug loop, you can't get out of. Other than that I never use in-game for fixing saves

We ended up falling out, he hates me & won't consider bids for him
You can deem me as "cheater" for that, but I keep in-game editor for rare cases like this.
For example once I had my GK sold to bigger league before window even opened. Knowing he is going away I've arranged a replacement of even better quality beforehand, So transfer window opens, one in one out and whole team comes to me questioning how could I let him go. All I could do was to promise to get a replacement when replacement was already there.
So yeah, for ridiculous s..t like this I keep the editor around

It is two! Two clicks? How can that be too many? Farting takes more energy
Imagine getting the same, for example, on your working interface (CRM, dev. console etc). You'll be mad as hell. And FM is one big CRM with a simulation mechanics
Besides it's not two clicks, when you play for couple hours you make tons of extra steps, that could have been easily avoided, and were easily avoided before. It's basic UX course

I take it nobody else is experiencing this? Now at two full seasons, and not a single goal from a free kick has been scored by any player, from any team in the Italian Serie A.
Can't check stats at the moment, but I haven't scored nether a free kick nor a corner goal too. And the only dfk goal I've seen was against me

I agree it’s starting to feel a bit off. SI has to strike a balance between realism and ability to win and progress. It’s just at the moment it’s too easy to win and thus not realistic enough. I can play Fifa career mode on semi pro if I wanna win champs league with Shrewsbury in 4 seasons!
I think somewhere it was mentioned, that SI would check the passive behaviour of AI managers, so hopefully we'll get the balance right. Game being unchallenging is a topic that's been around everywhere

The cause for this seems to be playing any form of attacking football.
It's not. I play counter attacking and sit on comfortable first place in Belarus league with a mediocre even by local standart team, overshooting all my opponents even though I don't do gegenpressing or ever go higher than balanced mentality.
Maybe SI decided to appeal to broader audience, but so far it feels a bit "arcadey", especially with how match is being presented. It's nice to be winning, but it really starts to feel a bit off

I know, I know it's not a big deal of a bug, just another small dent. Looks like someone can't count

They released a number of patches for 20 thoufh didn't they?
And it mostly retained those f... ups that were there from the start, infamous 1vs1, corners from every cross, you name it. Can't say for everyone, but personally to me and to many people in communities on FB and reddit, 20 didn't realy take off. So, considering, that ME is already better and issues are logged now, I hold my hopes high.
On the other hand I wouldn't hope that interface stuff, even obvious screwups, will be touched, so this is what we have to get used to

They always have before.
20 remained screwed till the end.
But anyway, my topic has "info provided" tag, so I'm hopeful. Apart from this inconsistency I'm having a blast with current ME

Thanks for uploading with PKMs. Have you noticed any theme in these goals, from goal kicks, clearances, high defensive line etc?
Not really. As in my pkms instructions in every game slighlty differed. If you check Gribovsky goal in game against Slavia you'll see that I had low tempo, play out of defence ticked on and both CDs had short passing instructions (I was holding to the lead), but ball was still thumped upfield. In general I think my CDs kick every 5th ball forward even when instructions say otherwise and there are better options. And poachers run off way too easily

the constant demand of the moderators, QA and devs from Si games, telling us that we report the bugs in their respective subforum category,
I logged topic in ME bugs subforum about assists from own half with all the pkms and two more users added to it with timestamps and their respective pkms. Not even a "not a bug, won't review"
I'm thinking that this version is the final one and we can start getting used to it

So you can't create a new save because in the long run we won't have players in the national teams ...
Well, there was a fix, but apparently it didn't work, but SI say it's save compatible, so as soon as they make it work there's hope current saves can go on
