Dagenham_Dave Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 People, there are still going to be crosses, corners, goalkeeping errors, high scores, and long range goals. The update hasn't completely nerfed them. Do a whole season, then come back and report how frequent these things are, not just your last game, that helps nobody.

brawla123 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Hotfix was pointless in my opinion. You fixed the saving a game issue which was good. The match engine still has a lot of problems and I'm yet to notice the tweaks that have occurred. Goalkeepers reactions are still too slow, their movement is too robust. Crosses are still a problem. I am watching my team defend a cross or a set piece and I'm seeing defenders let attackers get easy headers in. I'm even seeing defenders let the ball pass them. I tried to upload some footage but there's something wrong with the FM Youtube Uploader, the footage doesn't show anything, just the pitch. Man marking on set pieces is a problem. Defenders are marking attackers and they're still able to volley the ball. I understand a header but how is it possible to volley a ball when a defender is marking you tightly? Defenders are reacting too slow in the box and after making a tackle. Sometimes defenders are not even reacting to the ball when it goes past them. If the uploader was working you would see the footage. The whole point of a hotfix is to address specific problems. You guys said you improved defender reactions to crosses and corners but they still react slowly in other situations. Goalkeepers are still dreadful.

Burnsey85 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Anyone noticed massive player rating losses since the update? I was going really well before updating(beginning of November - 2nd season). Installed update and restarted FM15 & lost my first 2 games. Looked into my tactics / training etc. and noticed that John Terry was down to 2 stars(he was only 2 and a half to start with though), Zouma had gone from 3 to 2, but worst of all were Sami Khedira and Leighton Baines who dropped from 4 each to 2&ahalf / 3 respectively. Carried on just trying to survive til the transfer window but no matter what I did tactically I lost all my games until the 7th in a row which cost me my job. I know blips happen but that seemed a bit extreme, and the timing made it very fishy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gechal Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I really like it. However, my player had a long shot that the keeper threw in, but the really bizarre thing was that the game decided to replay the goal in 3d. Only that goal.

When will you understand? those stars are the opinions of your staff and have no effect whatsoever on your players abilities or performances. It's like me saying Messi isn't as good as people say meaning he misses 5 open goals in his next match, it isn't rocket science. Having said that, nothing has changed in my game so I suggest give it a while to settle then report a bug if it doesn't but that does mean a bug in the star rating system, not in your players abilities.

GeorgeD Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Played a few games and saw that pressing/closing down is still not addressed, defenders are still backpeddling/sitting back even when given high closing down and marking instructions and not attempting to challenge while the opposition run at them. Feeling rather disappointed. This is a core deficiency of the match engine that needs to be remedied ASAP. Guess I'll have to wait for the next update again.

I understand that, but those had been steady for a season and (almost) a half before then. Baines dropped from upper 7 ratings in games to an average of around 6 for the 4 games I stuck with him after the update. Can't remember what the others dropped to so I wont include them. Just thought it was weird how the sudden drop(stars and match ratings) for a lot of players happened directly after installing this update.

BW40 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 The ME feels, well...flimsy, thats the only way I can describe it Although I can see the patch has adjusted (improved?) some dynamics of the match engine, it's only skimmed it.

That's a shame though because from the space of November to March/April we're waiting on the next update. But we should really be enjoying the game in these months. I've had this since the Beta release and I'm just constantly waiting on the next update to see if I can finally enjoy the match engine. It shouldn't be like this every year.

It shouldn't be like this every year. Perhaps lower your expectations then. I've sunk almost 300 hours into the game so far, and I've had very few issues with the match engine. But then I simply play the game to enjoy it, and not to pick holes in every little inaccuracy. What a dreadful waste of time that would be.

Agree closing down is awful and player reactions are so slow. Really cannot understand how closing down has been poor for so many versions and still hasn't been addressed. Full backs aren't getting anywhere near blocking a cross, ball goes to winger, full back goes to engage and seemingly slips on a patch of ice and skids past the winger and the winger crosses to Lukaku who has the freedom of the penalty area!! Reactions are painful, some of my players turn slower than the Titanic! Early days as only played the odd match but not incredibly positive so far. Also and it was admitted in the bugs forum that there was an issue. If you change instructions of a tactic mid game you still cannot revert to your starting tactic on he drop down menu. I hoped that this would have been in the hotfix. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
