MrPompey Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 so when he gets the ball long way from the post he is selfish, but when he's in front of the goal he somehow gets generous enough to pass the ball back to a teammate instead of touching the ball in.truly realistic so did you actually log this as a potential bug with loads of supporting evidence as has been suggested to you on numerous occasions or do you prefer to just post sarcastic comments all the time?

jc1 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 The game is not unplayable. are we playing a different game to others on this thread, I'm not seeing anything like the bugs and moans being mentioned on here, as i've said before, I play around for the first few months, learning the tactics and internal gameplay of the ME before finally going for a long save after the January/February data update.

jac4121993 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 It's certainly not unplayable, but the bugs are enough to want to make you to ragequit on a fairly regular basis - particularly if you have little patience for incredibly stupid goalkeepers. Goalkeepers seem genuinely clueless on this game. I can't really play with a Sweeper Keeper at the moment because he regularly miscontrols and dribbles out for a corner under no pressure. It was similar to on FM13 where defenders would regularly concede corners for no reason whatsoever. Player positioning and reactions to the ball seems off at times. Bit annoying. It's certainly better than the FM13 final ME, which I hated. Once they (finally!) sort out keepers and tweak a few things for defensive play I think it'll be fine.

whilewolf2 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 One thing that I found out recently is that short term injuries are not recorded in the injury log. That sounds OK you don't want it to record every cold a play misses a days training through but I bought a player as my first choice winger and between the minor injuries his picked up and the time his taken regaining match fitness his only started about 7 games in 18 months. None of his injuries was serious enough to be recorded. If you where buying him from the AI you would check his injury history and think the AI just didn't play him. Wouldn't it be better to record how many days a player spent injured and maybe how many they spent severely lacking match fitness rather then just some of the injuries they suffered?

howhigh1337 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 If there will be only one final patch then I am "slightly concerned" about it, because as we know sometimes fixes causing new issues, so it'd be better to release ME patch now to have stress-test until the final data update.

petergoddard Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Also agreed! It's not unplayable, that's for sure !!! I don't even care about some bugs, it annoys me that SI asks a price for something that should work without errors but the even bigger problem with this specific FM is that more than ever is made according to a very british logic of football. Well sirs, there are other logics and ways of playing football rather than yours, some even better than yours (or not), but despite being better or worse they are different and if the game allow us to play different leagues, well than it must allow different logics of football.

themadsheep2001 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 No I don't... so who sets the price ? You get an RRP (recommended retail price) recommended by the publisher (in this case SEGA), but ultimately it's the retailers themselves who have/make the final choice.

Ryhilldexter Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Quick update.Firstly as ever thanks to all those who have provided constructive criticism, as this is invaluable to us and appreciated. There will be another ME update, probably with 14.3 when the data is updated. So far we have worked on the following: - Goalie errors. We have identified a few that lingered around and will hope to get any remaining ones zapped for this cycle. - Headed clearances. We identified issues with trajectory and direction and the fixes are now in test. Affects no of goals just after corners and also own goal count. - Corners. We are still working on this. Main issue now is there are slightly too many of them at top levels. - Ball physics. No changes planned for this cycle. There are definitely further improvements to be made but we believe it's in a decent state overall for the time being. - General. We want to improve the individual play of the very best players slightly and this is a work in progress right now. There are other bits and pieces too of course. Cheers, Paul Any news on non ME updates? Are they gonna wait until the data update too? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

balldoktor81 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 just watched beta-ME-version gameplay footage... holy .... what a difference compared to the version we have now. great movement, lot of variation on offense etc. now, it's a me..!!!!! i created a few different tactics just for fun to see how they would play out on the pitch. and what a surprise, the difference is so marginal it's not worth to talk about it... SI ironed out the glitches step by step, although there are still many of them left, but they killed the gameplay in my opinion. counter attacking is overpowered!!!! and it almost doesn't matter what shape and instructions your defense consists of. when samll teams are parking the bus against you, feels like you're playing against some catenaccio-masterminds maybe it's all "fine" under the hood, millions of calculations etc. BUT the 3D gameplay has nothing!!! in common with real life football. nada!!! EDIT: just watched a clearance from opp. defender, ball was like 4-5 sec. up in the air. mascherano was standing around 5-7m nearer to my own goal than the striker, ball came down to strikers feet (ofcourse he had no problem with his first touch although it was a 60-yarder, i guess he is the best chinese amateur footballer who ever played the game , was a friendly match ). i watched/reviewed the whole sequence from all different angles. mascherano did nothing!!!!! he just freezed, from the moment the ball left the defenders feet till the striker had a breakaway and... no he didn't score. man if you're watching worldclass/upper-echolon defenders act like that... i'm done. oh and don't get me started talking about through-balls...... it seems like everyone has a little bit of xavi's/pirlo's-magic... and no it'S not my tactics, i guess in the end it is, but the real question is, how is defending and all the other stuff implemented into the game. for now i would say pretty poorly! SI should really consider implementing both phases of football. the attacking side and the defending one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jujigatame Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Considering corner goals affect both teams equally, you won't be losing more than you're winning because of them. Don't really agree with that. If you play a top team that is expected to win the vast majority of their games, you will drop an inordinate amount of points due to corner slop. If anything an excess of set piece goals has a tendency to "even out" clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do some homework before you come on and spout rubbish, please. No problem assuming that I might be mistaken regarding patches and for that I have also no problem apologizing. Nevertheless the game is too far rigid and too far conditioned to a logic of football that is most seen in Britain: a good example is SI's testing team Jack Harvey justifying the calendar bug with Manchester playing Swansea on sunday and Sunderland on tuesday. And although the calendar bug is annoying, the worse part is playing different leagues according to the same brits logic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Svenc Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Don't really agree with that. If you play a top team that is expected to win the vast majority of their games, you will drop an inordinate amount of points due to corner slop. If anything an excess of set piece goals has a tendency to "even out" clubs. If anything it is the human player who can use that to his advantage. The AI wouldn't recognize set pieces being there "for the taking". I've already seen a shot in which a human player turned both his CBs into bonafide top scorers, with the two starting CBs collecting 20 goals between the two of them over the course of a season. Obviously something like that is giving you a massive advantage over the AI, as every goal has the tendency to alter what follows thereafter greatly. You can play it more safe, the AI is likely going to open up. Your players will often get a small boost in confidence, and vice versa for the AI (depending on player personality). Not sure this is the same as the "corner exploit" of old, but that sure looked just as such from the statistics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sussex Hammer Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Only just started playing in friendlies and if I switch from a normal to a counter attacking tactic my players end up in different positions. Winger as centre back, forward as midfielder, that sort of thing. Any remedies to this? It's the same formation so the switch should be seamless! Also on the tactic screen there doesn't seem to be any colours denoting if player a is any good in a certain position. You know the thing, green, yellow, red warnings. Am I missing something?

In the meantime, they released no less than 15 expansions/stuff packs. Football Manager is a new game every year, or at least is advertised and sold as such. I'm not saying that EA/Maxis/Sims Studio guys are right and Sega/SI guys are wrong, I'm just saying that they have two completely different ways to develop, release and advertise their games.
