mimland Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 The total lack of logic footballthinking from your players, you don't stand still in your own penalty area and wait for the opponents to catch you, you don't hit a pass back to your own keeper when there are 5 opponents that is more likely to pick up the ball and you got 2-3 open options forward or sideways, you don't sit down and take a break down at the corner flag after taking a corner and you really don't constantly pass the ball back to the player since he is in such an obvious offside position. Pressconferences has gone from an necessary annoyance to total idiocy. Your last game against xxx your team played rather badly what effect will this have....Oh I don't know we won 7 of the 8 game we have played since then so our form is rather good and it seems we got over that game rather quickly??? Oh look professional foul direct red, too bad there was only 2 teams of players between them and the goal, referee had an excellent game sure.

kevgaleuk Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Player Histories all day long. I just think that it looks really poor after a few seasons. I have posted numersous times about nesting the lines so that only the main club season is shown generally with the option to "open" the other lines to see loans, B-sides etc. That said the new summary screens, if developed could make the history page irrelevant so hoping they expand these in the right way or get around to neatening the histories up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rynny Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Press conferences: "Having chosen to rest some key players, you must be pleased with the win?" I have a squad of circa 20 players, only four of those have 'Key player' status and they all played. The rest are rotated weekly and have squad status set as such. "Manager X slams blame culture in football" No I didn't, I said if the manager wasn't getting the results he should go. Loading screens: Games played - Let's have the fewest first so I can see them? Team talks: AssMan - "Some gentle encouragement could work well here" Me - "OK then, take the team talk please" AssMan - "Go out there and show me what you can do!" (Hardly gentle encouragement) Players - No response. Scouting: Generally carp. Scouts cannot be assigned to their home nations (if you want some results anyway) which is an effing joke in lower league football. Competition scouting doesn't yield any results either. Match highlights: I get a replay of a penalty being scored/missed - how about you show me wtf happened for the penalty to be awarded in the first place?

Rynny Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Ah. Lazy coding too. There are loads of teams in the database (mostly outside of England) that have the wrong stadiums, wrong locations, wrong players and wrong kit colours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfg Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 This is all from FM11. Having to press yet another button just to leave the press conference. They made a big song and dance about making the answers one click, but then make you have to click another button just to leave- WHY? What am i going to do in there? Also if you get rid of a lot of staff by offering mutual termination, you have to travel to the bottom right of the screen to confirm their sacking, and then go back to the top left-ish of the screen to click on the next news item, then back down to the right again to sack them and so on. Why not just automatically move on to the next item when you've finished on the last item? Another annoying click related thing imo, is you have to confirm every call up to the national team, or to remove a player. Why? If it wasnt there and I made an error it would only be one click to remove him, as it is you have to click to call them up, move and then click to confirm that you do want to call him up/remove him? WHY? It's not that important, after all you still have to confirm your final squad on the main news page. There are loads of other things but I dont care enough anymore tbh.

scott MUFC Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 assman is an ass in team talks. scottish lower leagues are full of kit clashes in matches. and can we see the INCIDENT LEADING TO THE PENATLY in the replay rather then the penantly, it is a pain for conferances. when uploading a video, perhaps allow more options in what should be in a match video, 1-0's are pointless to record as all the good play etc is missed out.

taylorsmen Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 The non existent 'Tunnel' in FM12 annoys me slightly, yeah it's trivial i know but never the less it's the place the players walk out of, or the place they walk down when getting a red card (well according to the commentary) the developers seem to think that adding beaches and shops are more important then visual realism.

sfg Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Again it's a small thing, but I took over England before the Euro Champs (artificially sacked the old manager, before being appointed, I realise this isn't really the done thing ...) anyway i dropped the old captain from the tournament squad, big news story apparently, he's ''devastated'' etc but then lo and behold he pops up the next day to tell the press that he and the lads are ''relishing'' the test the upcoming tournament provides.

StormenDK Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 The fact that in the Opposition Instructions screen before you get to the Team Talks, the Goalkeeper is always selected. So to set some for other players, you first have to de-select him. Very annoying. Or when I change Set pieces instructions during the match, and I get an info box every time, that I have to click 'ok' on. I see no way of selecting to not get the dialog again.

chocolatecoatedballs Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 my striker constantly taking my wingers (AMR/L) place and my winger strolling around centre midfield or holding his hand as he takes the ball down to the byline. This annoy's the hell out of me as I play one up front. At the start of the season my fullback used to make forward runs and actually cross, after tutoring and learning 'runs up wing', never runs, mostly dances a jig before losing the ball.

I disagree. A throw in to me in a dangerous area is just as key as a winger on a good run, that's the same type of goal scoring opportunity... I don't want to see that, that's not a key highlight. Key highlight to me constitutes either: A player going one on one with the goalkeeper A great goal scoring opportunity missed A shot going just wide or just over A shot on target A shot cleared off the line Hitting the woodwork A penalty A red card A goal In some cases, a potential penalty claim could be classed as a key highlight How else can anything be classed as key?

My striker had a shot earlier which stopped on the line and joe hart ran back to his line and pushed it in the goal! Corner takers who stay where they are and then get caught offside 10 seconds later. 'What is your relationship with your chairman?' make them have a personality in the game so it can be asked or get the hell rid of the question.

Shakes Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 That my scouts are so damn lazy is what annoys me. If I manually tell them what to do they can each produce 4 reports a day, but left to their own devices they produce maybe 4 reports a month. Seems ridiculous, sure you can say they need to go find those good players to report on and it takes time, but they could at least file a bunch of half star reports on the crap players so I know they're crap and can ignore them on the player search screen!

Porthos Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 When the ball lands near their line and your attacker sprints over to it and dribbles it directly out of play instead of whipping in a first time cross. When the ball lands 15 yards from your line and your defender sprints over to it and tackles their striker from behind, instead of from the side, resulting in a corner. The referee is constantly 50 yards from the ball. "Shoots with power" = miss the goal. Watching my player get injured when scoring a goal. Watching the celebration. Waiting for the celebration to be over. Waiting for my physio to jog the full length of the pitch, perform 2 minutes of spraying, and walk the player the full length of the pitch back off again, as my team dances around in their starting positions waiting for kick off.

Sussex Hammer Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Top quality strikers and left midfielders such as Van Persie, Nasri and Di Maria in my case blasting or more often than that pathetically unpowerfully hitting the ball into the side netting from a massive goalscoring chance from the left side or if I am really lucky hitting the corner flag on the other side of the pitch!!

Then having the pundit afterwards say the "The Bath City supporters should be the happier with the result" ...
