marcuscicero Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 11 mins 46 secs into a Champions League QF and the bar has already been hit four times (3-1)...... This really, really has to be sorted. I've seen it mentioned, and even quoted it myself in an earlier complaint that the bar/post were still being hit too often, that the current ME average is only 0.1% higher than in real life - however, I am yet to go a season (13 full seasons in my current save, though I tallied a total from a season in a previous save of 131 and had Adam Mingay respond about it) without the bloody posts being hit over 120 times. Sure, goals are not a problem, but it's slowly sucking all joy out of watching games... Really, really annoying... Turning me into a moaning old sod! I agree. It's absurd that one SI representative before tried to justify it by bringing in a Liverpool stat in one season where they hit the bar 33 times in 38 league matches. Little did he know there are 20 teams in the premier league (in-game) who have that rate of bar-hitting, and what is more, it has been happening for 3 consecutive seasons on my save. They really want to bend the reality just so they can justify what is broken. High scoring games, frequent bar-hittings, ******** goalkeepers and strikers. Is it time for a new patch? I say yes. Not just one, as many as is needed until the problems are solved IN FM 14. I already know I'm not the only one thinking this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention the ball hitting the player, like a robot, sigames before thinking in fm 15 had to adjust the 14!

FMC is there if you do not like tactical familiarity.For me the game is actually better when the tactics aren't fluid yet as there aren't ridiculous amount of good scoring chances in every game (especially for my team). Also the finishing is in much better level for me when my team produces something like 10-15 shots in a game instead of 25-30. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnr_ironside Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Goalkeepers and defenders of all abilities who are in the parts of the pitch between the edge of their box and the corner flag, seem to play a lot of stupid and risky diagonal balls to the centre pitch around the box straight to opposition strikers who almost always score. Will try to record an example next time I'm on the game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

allyc31 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Add a filter to only show players who are at Premier league clubs to get an idea if all players are considered unrealistic transfers. If the majority of Premier league are considered to be unrealistic targets then I'd be interested in taking a look at your save to see what is happening. Alex, i added a filter for Players Based in England which seemed to fix it. Also, haven't been able to recreate it. Did this come up in QA?

Dedinho Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 You may ban me as much as you like, but this game is incomplete. Not broken, since that would mean that we could potentially expect fixes, but incomplete product. I mean, seriously, full backs and centre backs behaving like idiots, Romanian league players not being interested in moving to top level clubs, shall i mention super-high amount of woodwork and high scoring games? About woodwork, average number is quite good, but its dispersion is disastrous. Same goes for high scoring games, and I don't care if results like that happen in the PL (Arsenal - MUTD, City matches etc.), they DO NOT happen everywhere, and definitely not that often. Of course, high scoring game is followed by a few low scoring ones, so, if you look at the table - you can't notice anything wrong. So, please, even if you don't want/have time (or simply don't care) about fixing the game, at least hire more testers and someone who understands football - because this game doesn't represent it quite well.Also, many Italian clubs tend to underarchieve in recent versions. I don't say it doesn't happen (Milan, Inter last year, Juventus before that), but Roma and Fiorentina finishing rock bottom, while Catania plays UCL in second season? It is more than unrealistic. I also remember there was a bug with Italian transfers a few years ago, where all transfers were collected as "last season transfers", just in Italian league - no fix. So, anoder request - please, give a bit more attention to Italian league in the following version, after all, it's not like football is played only in England and Spain. I wanted to add Germany, but I have seen Bayern underarchieve in this FM too often, being outplayed by Anorthosis or Steaua. As much as we would all like that - this game doesn't represent football well. It's the first time previous version is still better 5 months after release, and it is not something customers want to pay for. Cheers. I also noticed after a couple of hours of play last night, that the missed 1 on 1 chances, or superman goalkeeper saves are compensated by "...but he never meant it!" goals.

No insult taken, our sense of humour is somewhat similar Am simply trying to work out why on Earth this is happening and how, apart from the obvious 'not using it again', I can improve things. There's no logical explanation for it - of my back line personality types are 'Professional, Professional, Resolute and Determined', no one lacks in concentration, etc, are usually extremely well organised and for three seasons now been far and away the best defense in the league... yet after said team talk they simply fall to pieces for the first few minutes of the following half...

busngabb Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Set pieces are a joke on this update. Corners on FM14 have always been broken and they are no better on this one. Corners are like short corners in hockey, a direct chance to score. It's not uncommon on the game for 5 or more goals to be scored from corners in one game. Just stop messing about and turn them down. Direct free kicks also have a ridiculously high chance of going in and where do we begin on penalties? 24-23 on shootouts anyone? Impossible to miss, the only chance of one ever not going in is if it happens to hit the keeper. One in about 30 isn't scored. In real life I believe it's about 1 in 4 for penalties in matches and 1 in 3 during shootouts? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
