DanSpur Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Man City bought a young player (£5.5m), he didn't play for them and they sold him to Monaco for a loss (£4.6m). 2 years later he joins Genoa for £33m. The next season Man City buy him for £55m. I sold a player to Stoke (a newgen) for £4.5m, a year later he goes to someone else - forget who - for £11m. Another, I sold a player to Man City for £5.25m. A year later they sell him to Wolves for £1.7m, and a year later they sell him to Chelsea for £20.5m. Huge jumps, and also huge errors by the AI teams. Or team, maybe it's just Man City. I sold the player because I didn't have space for him in my squad and had better players at the time in that position Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiquidFury Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Player indecisive on the ball: Turns his back to goal, looks left, looks right then BAM! opposition player disposses him and promptly begins the most unstoppable counter attack possible. Urine-poor clearences to no-one/the opposition when there is clearly a simple pass on. Strikers heading the ball on to no-one. That general feeling that you know which team is going to 'win' this highlight and therefore you know when a team will be dispossesed/tackled even if it looks like they're going to attack.

Il Capitano Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Setting two or three players to 'lurk outside area' on corners. Then, instead of spreading out they stand right next to each other. Defender chasing the ball towards own corner flag after long clearence from opposition; suddenly runs like frightended rabbit towards own six yard-box, leaving the opposing attacker to stroll against goal.

LiquidFury Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I'm managing Braunschweiger Eintracht, currently in the German 3rd Division, which is full of II teams of larger teams. But they're treated like the I team. i.e. I was just playing Bayern II, 19th in the table, and me, 2nd placed Braunschweig, are always treated huge underdogs against them. Same as we were against Bremen II and Dortmund II. And when we battered them 4-1, 3-0 and 3-1, it was as if it was Ronnie Radford 3 times over.

Ok, see you around!" There is a frantic knocking at my door, and Mr. Bunn himself dashes in with a worried complexion. "Boss! We go out in twenty minutes!

Negatrev Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Agreed 100% on this on. It is one of the most annoying aspects of the game because this happens so rarely in real life and yet in the game, it happens dam near every time. Imagine if you are trying to grab a late win or draw and you are putting pressure on your opponent. You get a corner, this happens, and it kills your momentum immediately. I know that this ME isn't exactly the greatest when it comes to its on field and in match representation animations, but the single most annoying thing in the world today is when your world class striker is clean through on goal and he "decides" to shoot with his weaker foot. I don't know if this is now more based on the quality of players or not, but last year this did happen to me a lot, even at the highest level. However this season with my League 2 Swindon team, I have my best players on lurk outside and corner taker. The corner taker obviously busts a gut to get back onside if the corner is cleared, my lurks outside player almost always delays the pass until he IS back onside. I only see this happen, maybe once a month. Usually when either of my 2 best players are out. Or I could just be VERY lucky to not suffer this issue often!

[c] Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 In the category of "annoying but harmless": 1) Rest superstar player, 25+ appearances this season, for game against relegation fodder sandwiched in between big European clash and top-of-the-table derby. Play squad player, making his third start of the season, instead. 2) Squad player picks up minor injury in game. 3) "The injury to [squad player] must be a major blow to your ambitions" um...no, not really. 4) "Who are you considering as a replacement for [squad player]" er...the superstar who has been in my first team all season and was just being rested for one game? 5) "Do you think there's a chance that [superstar] could put pressure on [squad player]'s first team place?" ...uh...yeah, I'd say there's a chance of that happening. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.* * - that's not strictly true, sometimes (just for fun) the software pretends that when I've been asked who I will use as a replacement, my answer was 44-year-old scout Roberto Baggio.
