hluraven Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Really not enough injuries for me, at the current real life date I have one injury, the average across the whole league is 3 injuries per team, and only 2 players in the whole league are out for more than 2 months. My assistant takes care of all training, and obviously I don't have any influence on the other teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my personal experience I see it the other way around where players get tackled, fall over and take ages to get up.

Wlv Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Just a minor UI suggestion.

Leonidas_87 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Mixed bag for me so far. I would rate it a 7/10 with the potential to be an 8/10 with improvements to the match engine as have been pointed out already. I am actually a fan of the new tactics screen layout it is not perfect but I slightly prefer it to last years. Player interactions are much more intuitive this time around and I do not feel like you are wasting my time. The sidebar took some getting used to but is slowly growing on me, I imagine once I work out where everything is I will like it a bit more than I currently do. The tunnel interviews so far seem a bit repetitive but are a nice addition and with work could be pretty fun. In terms of the match engine the new animations are great, some of the play on display is a joy to watch and see your tactics coming to life a massive step forward from last year. Although like so many others I am frustrated by the comical at times goalkeepers who seem to be so drunk once they fall over and make a save they are stuck and will not move, allowing attackers to simply tap in. The defenders are guilty of not reacting quick enough as well sometimes which only makes this problem worse. The crossing issue is taking a bit of the fun out of the game, I play a short passing 4-1dm-1-3-1 which works about 50% of the time, but I know if I am losing I can just switch to a direct cross till you can cross no more tactic and I will score for fun. It also means I am getting pretty god at predicting when the a.i. will score. I watch on key and 90% of the goals I concede are from balls into the box or corners. I have managed to reduce this a bit through tactical tweaks and getting my fullbacks to play with a defend mentality and changing one of my centre backs to cover. But it is still very hard to defend both balls into the box through lack of closing down or tackling by fullbacks and when they get the cross in centre backs are too often static and just allow the a.i. to win it unchallenged. The crazy score lines is also a bit of a drag I have made it to February and in an average premier league weekend there are no 0-0s and most games finish 2-2 6-5 -5-4 with crazy comebacks. I am playing at the moment more to get used to the new features, I probably won't start a serious game until the issues are ironed out. I still think it is a good game that just needs a few changes to shine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Casa De Munson Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I'm so disappointed in myself for buying this in November Near post volleys, please, just stop. 80% of goals are outrageous near post volleys. The bottom of the league bug is now in it's 6th incarnation, you will never beat the team bottom of the league. Tactical instructions mean nothign as the AI always "counter" it. I play wide, they counter it by playing narrow, but if I play narrow, they counter me by playing wide. Why does the benefot of the doubt always go to the AI? If I sit deep I allow 30 shots on target but if the AI sit deep I don't get a shot on target. And on and on it goes. The entire game is based around a tactical battle you aren't allowed to win. Away at Chelsea next, my strategy here is to put 2 DMs and hit them on the break. What will actually happen is they will win 6-0 with approx 30 shots on goal because they will "lolcounter" that tactic. Edit: Will that was depressingly predictable, although it was only 3-0 (2 near post volleys) and 27 shots. Home to Leicester next, I will go for my control tactic with only one deep midfielder, which will be lolcountered and I will lose 2-0. Shame there isn't an option to just type in the scorelines myself to save me having to get epilepsy while watching my team play like cocks at 10fps.

KingCanary Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Don't know if this is really feedback but so far I'd say this is far better than 14. Match engine is improved (although CB's do get caught under the ball too often), tactics feel responsive, scouting is so much better and player interaction is stronger. Only criticism (apart from the CB's) is that it feels very difficult to keep a squad together- players come to you after only a couple of games and demand to move because of not getting enough football even if they are backups.

KingCanary Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Oh one thing I would say- the game is a bit weird about claiming goals are great both in the match commentary and the press conferences. For example I scored a goal recently where my keeper kicked it from hand the CB missed it and my striker scored a simple one on one- commentary said 'we might be seeing that for some time.' Also I got asked about a player scoring a header from 8 yards out in a press conference- the 'It was a special goal' response seemed odd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kriss Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 What this post tells me is that Football Manager really isn't the game for you. I'm realising this about so many people I used to respect (in FM terms) they want win button football lite that always does what they think it should rather than what "might" happen even irl. They also refuse to accept that even the very best video games have limitations and the more you try to simulate the more bugs and inaccuracies you'll have to live with. There are two definitions of playable, technical which FM15 easily achieves and personal which is exactly that, if it's unplayable to you personally and your told your particular foibles won't be catered for this time round it's time to move on.
