Gerara Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Hey all. 10 pages in this forum and a whole day after the release what is the conclusion about the match engine in FM2015 beta compared to previous years?

StormenDK Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Because that is a retrograde step and the squad screen doesn't give a visual indication of whats going on. Also the Tactics screen is the one that is shown on game day as the team selection screen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AIK Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I think the skin is way too dark. I don't like the backgrounds on the skin. The text are hard to read in many places because the background and text are either both dark or both light. I don't like that the drop-down menus are automatic and I can't find an option to make them clickable instead like before. And when I click on a menu item it will go to the first page of that menu, but the drop-down menu will still be open. In other words, I think the skin are a disaster. Horrible work. Besides the skin, the game overall though seems good. Haven't played so much. I usually just use the BETA stage to look around and test the new functions. It's hard to really try things in the game when the graphical design are so horrible and annoying though. I've never used a custom skin, but this year I'm afraid I'll have to do that. The new scouting seems like an interesting function. And the new report card on your own players are a good addition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daylight Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Hey all. 10 pages in this forum and a whole day after the release what is the conclusion about the match engine in FM2015 beta compared to previous years? Am i right to believe that it is in much better state than last year? It is still a bit early to judge it, at least for me as I have only managed 6 games in the 9 hours I have played, man this game is so deep now. It certainly looks much better, a lot easier on the eye, some of the player moves are really nice to watch, you actually see them control the ball with their chest and bring it down before charging forward, the build up play is also very nice. The goalkeepers are all kinds of crap at the moment but SI are on top of that, they sort of remind me of when I was 7 and I would try and save everything with my feet! Anyway at this early stage I would say it is a lot better but again still early days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am i right to believe that it is in much better state than last year? It seems fine to me. Seem to be getting a lot of disallowed goals from rebounds (offside) though, but I don't know if that's an issue with the ME, if there is a statistical explanation for it or of my players just lack intelligence.

Nikopol Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 It seems to me that offensive tactics are much more efficient than effective tactics. Having a solid and organized defense is not as useful as playing fast attacking football because it's very easy to play through a defense in FM15. This is atleast my experience in the 2nd portoguese league, i have ridiculously high scores but it didn't seem that bad goalkeepers were the cause for it.

Schotsmannetje Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Oh okay thanks. Yeah according to the Steam website it might have been an issue with my firewall (avast), but disabling it didn't solve the issue. Guess I'll just have to be patient! EDIT: Ah, there we go!

Hit the upright Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 On GKs the animations look great but I would suggest too many look Gordon Banks vs Pele by that I mean there don’t appear to be enough orthodox simple saves, catch the ball, dive on the ball that sort of thing.

EvanPrevett Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I only have two points to mention and I'm sure they're points that have probably likely been mentioned by others. 1. Lower division goalkeepers are insanely terrible. It's evident at reserve team level too... I've not yet had a U21 game (playing with Liverpool) which hasn't finished with 5 or more goals, and there's been around 10 U21 fixtures. 2. Players are stupid when they get into the penalty area. For some reason, my player would rather shoot (and miss) at a 45 degree angle to the goal line from 9 yards out than square it to their open team mate who would have a completely free shot at goal and a pretty much guaranteed goal.

Goalkeeping is an acknowledged issue. If you can upload examples of poor finishing where a pass is more sensible to the bugs forum, then the SI team will be happy to take a look.

Slick Mongoose Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I'm sure it must have been said before, but the news page is hideous. Absolutely headache-inducingly hideous. And I don't understand how the bar on the left is an improvement. If it had been in earlier versions, and you'd changed it so that it was all in drop downs at the top, then everyone would be saying how much better it is and how much more space there is on the page. It feels like it's just been added for the sake of changing something, and it squashes the page to mean there's less room for useful info. Apart from that i'm enjoying the game. The match engine is almost to the point where i'd be happy to occasionally watch highlights in it, so well done there (not sarcastic, I appreciate how incredibly difficult modelling a football match is).

Liquid Cool Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 The match engine is very, very good this year.

matthiele Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Loving the game so far. I have seen a lot of funny things with the match engine though. Players sometimes running away from their man for no reason. I have also just seen podolski crack home a shot which the keeper may have got a slight hand to and it was called an own goal. Also some players when receiving the ball with no other players near them seem to be jinking left and right when they should be running it straight towards the other goal.
