    @ivoke, I don't see a lot wrong in those gifs tbh. There's the "kicking the ball at the teammates' back" irritant in the first gif, true, but what's particularly wrong with the subsequent slightly over-hit first time pass down the wing? I can't see much wrong in the second gif. Some bad passing decisions in middle, followed by a midfield tussle and a loose ball. What's so wrong there? The third gif sees a midfielder playing a ball down the wing with the attacker making a run in the channel. Again, it's a poor pass, but such misunderstandings happen at even the higher levels. The fourth gif has a slightly badly-aimed pass. And? The fifth gif has a poor throw-in, poor awareness by the defender receiving the ball, good anticipation by the attacker and terrible finishing. Slapstick, sure, but what's particularly unrealistic about it?

    In each case, we have no idea of the context or respective players' attributes. Maybe the player making the pass or making the run has poor passing/decisions/movement. Maybe they're unfit and tired. Maybe, yes, it is a bug in the ME. But without context, it's hard to make an objective assessment.

    In general, it would help if you offered a bit of extra detail, instead of just posting gifs and expecting us to understand what your exact issue with each of them are.

    I agree slightly with some of your comments. Indeed the 3th gif is a difficult ball and I shouldn't have included it above. First one I think is just ridiculous. Not the fact that my pass was kicked at the back of my own teammate, but the amount of free space my opponent has afterwards and still isn't able to play a simple 15 meter (through)ball to a completely unmarked teammate. Also for that short 15 meter (through)ball in the 4th gif, it shouldn't matter what stats the players have. Even if they have 2 passing, vision, composure, they should in my opinion still be able to give that pass without any trouble. Same for that 2nd pass decision, you should be banned ever touching a ball again in real life if that would happen. And as I said, this is combined from watching 20 minutes of full game (a bit first half, a bit second half), can't imagine how often these things happen if I watch an entire match in FM. That throw in can be a combination of things, but a player should never be put in a situation like that. Might be an one-off ofcourse, but given the fact that almost every throw-in will end up in losing the ball I think it's unrealistic. 

    And I agree, you can't do anything with gifs. I'm willing to watch some more games entirely next week and open a topic with things like this. I'll upload a pkm and will write the times things like this happen. Will be a hell of a list, but hope it helps to improve, because a.t.m. I'm really not enjoying FM because this what i believe is really bad. 

  2. Bought the game 2 days ago, my thoughts on the ME:

    - 90% of the throw ins on your own hall you'll end up loosing the ball

    - Passing seems horrible. Playing in the Dutch second league, know that the players aren't the best, but after having watched some gimes entirely it's honestly ridiculous. (See some gifs below, just examples from combined 20 minutes ingame)

    Same bug as every year:

    Just too painfull to watch an entire game on this ME, really challenging to not get frustrated if you see wat nonsense is happining what you normally don't see.

    Besides the ME it's looking quite well actually. 

  3. If I´m correct the width setting in team instructions sets the with in the attacking phase?

    How do I set my defensive width? I know it's not possible, but I want my full backs to sit very narrow. At this moment they are leaving quite a bit of space between themselves and the centre back for opponent wingers to cut into. Does the role my fullback has also have impact on the defensive side for him? I see a lot of trough balls between my left full back and left centre back, and my left full back plays as a attacking full back (attack). Does this role adds more defensive width as compared to a fullback on defend duty?

  4. I'm getting a ridicilous number of yellor and red cards despite committing fewer fouls than my opponents every match. Always been the team with the least amount of cards, but in this game it's almost a red because of 2 times yellow and a penalty againts me every game.

    Also getting emails on playing to close to the edge or cross the line to often, but I neve commit more than 10 fouls a game. Am playing with high pressure and high d-line, but gues this shouldn't affect these extra ordinary amount of cards.

  5. RWB sometimes, trough balls often. In this case he made the right decision to choose for a trough ball instead of keep running with the ball. The only thing is he choose the wrong troughball.

    It might be his decision stat, only 13, but c'mon, in the Premier League, even a Liverpoolplayer, the good pass would have been given 100 out of a 100 times in this situation.

  6. Playing a 4231. But in my opinion, it doesn't matter what formation i'm using, Coutinho should just play that ball. It doesn't matter if I play a 8-0-1-1 or a 4-2-3-1, he should just play that ball. I think my nephew from 5 years would have made a better decision on that pass.

    Edit: Next game, home vs. Man City. Giving away goals for free.....

    Really getting frustrated with this game. Watching matches the whole 90 minutes shows so many engine errors i haven't noticed before :(

  7. Playing as Liverpool against Arsenal. Lost 2-0, Arsenal more and the better chances but I feel like I could have created a lot more chances. I'll give you an example here:

    Here you see Lucas Leiva on the ball. Circled is Coutinho.

    Here you see Lucas Leiva passing the ball to Coutinho.

    Coutinho manages to turn away from Vermaelens' challenge. Lucas Leiva and Gerrard made a brilliant run and can be set one on one with the goalkeeper with an easy pass from Coutinho.

    But instead of playing the short and easy pass giving us a huge opportunity, Coutinho peers the ball away trying to reach Sterling.

    Is this because of a wrong thing in my tactic? Can't think on something i've done wrong, for example had the shout ''Exploit the middle'' active, that should encourage Coutinho to make the easy pass trough the middle.
