spyon Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Love the new individual roles for each position, but was wondering if it is possible to add color codes to the list of players to more easily identify who you already have added to your list of individual roles? Is it also possible to add a function of adding more than one player each time? How shift-clicking usually works. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PinkYoshi Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 i can select height as physical attribute column normally when viewing squads, but when you are presented with pre-match screen and make a selection, height is not available in physical attributes column, so i cannot select tallest defenders i have for specific matches etc, unless i manually click on players to check their height Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themadsheep2001 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I think the BETA is pretty good, I'm currently third with my beloved Leyton Orient. But SI better be listening when everyone is talking about the poor conversion rate of one-on-one chances and misses from >6yards out. It's strange how many times a free header from 6 yards will go straight at the keeper, almost all one-on-ones fly wide or over so that really needs work.If I'm honest the game is good but the ME is nowhere near what FM 2012 was. I think the issue I have is I think long and hard about every players impact according to their stats before I play them and yet there still seems to be a lack of coherency between stats and actual gameplay. For example, in FM 12 a player with pace 5 would genuinely seem quite slow. In fm 13/14, there just doesn't seem to be enough coherency, too many players play too similar even if they have very different stats. I personally thought FM 13 was dreadful in this regards, although there does seem to be some improvement in 14. It's a shame because it was so nailed on in 12. Anyone agree with this? Definitely not. FM2012 ME doesn't even come close to this for me. Pace and power felt well overpowered, especially when your poacher could pretty ghost through their defenders.

xtradj Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 But in the end Arsenal only sold Cesc when he made it unreasonable for them to keep him. Before that point they continually stated he wasn't for sale. Stop defending We all know zouma is not worth 80m. Bids of around 20-35 would be accepted in real life Fm has always been silly in regards to transfers Bale was sold for 80 odd, can you really say zouma is worth that much?

Shakes Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 The tooltip for a stack of statuses - does it really need to be the useless "click to show all statuses"? Seems like something people can fairly easily work out for themselves. Wouldn't it be better to just show the normal tooltip for the status on top of the stack? I'd much rather know how long my player is going to be out for without having to click, wait for the animation to play and wait for the hover time to again expire before the information shows.

But the pre- and post match press conferences seem more naunced this year, and the media in general seems to take more initiative in getting statements from you outside those conferences.

ajw10 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 All my BETA buzz has dampened somewhat over the last day or two. Full backs have stopped tackling, Stoke keep winning. What's becoming more and more frustrating is the goalscoring. Just makes zero sense, I've lost count of the number of one on ones my side has missed. Also what's going on with fitness?

As I said, I played 12 earlier tonight, and in the first of the two matches I managed to play, I saw five defenders chase after the one ball, and a shot from a midfielder actually pass through a player on the way to goal. FM12 was good at the time, but the engine used is horribly dated compared to the current one. It's night and day in fact. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Methinks you play this game too much and accept it rather than aspire for it to be as good as it can be. You would hope a year later it is closer to the finished product than Fm13 was as they've been working on it for another year but the high number of tackles and interceptions existed a year ago too and beyond and exists today a week before release date of a new game ...hmm go figure...that would indicate a year later they still haven't figured it out. Of course the ME has more potential than the 12 version but your night and day argument is more night and night as if the fundamentals of current ME were simply night and day factually better as you suggest then why does it require the ME being defended by absurdly high tackles and interceptions ?!

KingJason13 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 My feedback thus far: - my players miss far too many one on ones chances - the woodwork gets hit far too often - I only seem to score from corners on a regular basis - there seems to be an issue making short passes: they're 50-50 - my box-to-box midfielder won't box-to-box - I outshoot, out possess, and out defend the opposition... yet still lose or draw far too often - a small team ALWAYS has a defender that has a super-game against me - I'll lose and still have my back 4 receive an average rating of 8.5-9 (?) - sometimes my CBs stop playing - swapping positions is broken - release clauses aren't functioning properly - I can't find where to ask for the position loan availability report - shooting is broken: it's either at the corner flag, or off the woodwork, or straight at the goalkeeper - sometimes my CBs will ignore an errant ball... and my CM will have to chase it down, running by my sleeping defenders, to get the ball - FBs won't cover wingers - my players sometimes stand still on defensive corners... and allow easy goals - I'll set up a loan to be able to recall the player... but not get the option to recall them - I'll buy a player, selecting the loan back option, and not have them be loaned back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegr8anand Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 I take it back. I thought defending was better but it is not. This is just one game i just finished and its similar in most games. Apart from the shots, one of my goal came from a corner. Their striker scored both their goals and after the second goal they had 3 shots and 3 on target and still my RB got MoM (he scored my second goal). My defender just let their striker take the ball infront of him and run past him. In general even when I have so many shots, lot of my goals come from set piece or opposition mistakes while they can rip my defenses so easily.

Thomasmc135 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 I give up. The game is so broken that it isn't even funny. I've just taken part in the most ridiculous match ever. It somehow ended 3-5, but it could have been any scoreline. The defending is beyond broken and the goalkeeping hasn't even been coded. Watch this post for pictures and video highlights. Absolute joke. I want my money back. This is a picture showing my defence just before their second goal. Quite why they're stood so far up the pitch is a mystery to me - especially when I told them to 'drop deeper'. Apparently deeper means 'stand on the halfway line and allow players to stream past' I don't even know whether to laugh or cry with this image. You see that guy in the middle of the box? He isn't even a defender. No, my defenders are too busy daydreaming. Why are they so far up the pitch? I don't understand!! Match stats and overview. I went from 2-0 up after 8 minutes to 5-2 down.
