CityAndColour Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Man, very disappointed how limited player instructions are. They're entirely contigent upon the player role. For example, I don't want my poacher only being able to close down "less or much less." I want him to be the first line of my high press. bleh. disappointed. Remember that "sometimes" mirrors the team instructions. So if you have team instructions to close down more/much more, the closing down bar in the player instructions will show as full and say "sometimes", even for defensive forwards. If your team instructions are to close down less, you will have the option to set your poacher to close down more or much more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrance Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I'm stuck on the first team meeting on my MLS save. After I selected the option to introduce myself as the new head coach, I can't scroll down to select the next set of Q&A. I adjusted the window size and exited out of the first team meeting. Anyone know how to improve tactical familiarity? I simulated through 5-7 exhibition games and played 2 exhibition games, but my tactical familiarity has not changed at all.

Jimbokav1971 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Hi FMers,My apology if this has been brought up. Just wish to check. Has possession football been downplayed in FM2016? I've been getting difficulty in retaining possession with my Barcelona team. During an intra-friendly against a mock-up players, i can't even muster anything more than 59% of possession. Has anyone found any success in playing possession football with more than 60% possession? Thank you. I holidayed for a season and then took over a promoted team, (so not great), and then I haven't signed anyone but.... Recent games show 57% 55% 61% 52% 59% Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgeD Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Why is closing down still not fixed after soooo many years? "Close down more" doesn't work. "Tight marking" doesn't work. "Higher tempo" doesn't work. Higher mentality doesn't work. Get stuck in doesn't work either. The backline would make absolutely no effort in exerting pressure on the oppostion when they make so many passes and runs with ease. Result is too many shots possession conceded to the opposition. Just look at the absymal defending here. horrible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My tactic is exactly what you've mentioned like how you've quoted exactly what I've said in my previous post. Coincidence much? So yeah, its Closing down more, hard tackling, pressing all over the pitch, high tempo and doesn't work for me. There've been countless complaints about excessive shot counts in the past too.

It seems nothing much has improved from my testing so far. I believe that is what you are seeing. Just stating that is not what I am seeing. As I said, FM15 never seemed to do what I want. FM16, the play is pretty much how I envisioned it. Sure, we concede a bit easily at times, but that is mostly because we are pushing forward at a high tempo and sometimes get caught out when it comes back. But the players are really getting up into the oppositions face and lots of strong challenges being made. I am in the Belarus second division so I accept some of my players are struggling to do what I ask of them. As an example, one of my midfielders has poor marking that means at times he will lose his man. Perhaps look at your players attributes and see if it is more player specific. I have a midfielder with 11 marking and high concentration and determination. He generally moves right in on his opponent when we lose the ball. My midfielder with 5 marking and poor concentration gets lost sometimes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themadsheep2001 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Same here but it seems like the mods are trying to fob us off with a "benchmarking" problem. To be honest it seems like an issue with retina models and we're not getting an honest answer out of them. My MacBook Pro is 3 weeks old so there's no way it should be sounding like it's about to explode. Nonsense. I've just asked him to create a technical issue thread and provide as much info as he can. SI (Lucas is not a moderator but a Dev) have already stated there is an issue under review, and they are working to solve it for release, you know this as you've already posted in one thread (and been asked to create your own thread rather than jump in constantly). So please keep your insinuations to yourself, Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric1000 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Don't know why but this years offering just doesn't float my boat, much the same as FM15 didn't. The fun factor has just gone from the game for me and SI add useless fluff like the manager avatar while at the same time dumbing down tactical instructions and making the tactics screen dog ugly ( and nope, the slight increase in functionality doesn't come close to making up for it ). So I got a refund and it looks like another year of FM14. I will maybe take another look in March after the final patch but to be honest I don't think that I will be buying another FM until SI at least catch up to everyone else and go 64bit.

In a big way I agree with you. This year version of FM have had the least new features than before than in anyway satsify my requests. 3 of the big new announcement of this years version are IMO a fail. Manager on the touchline, Fantasy Draft and Create a Club all are stuff that more anoys me than before. I just wish that SI Games could concentrate on hardcore issues than trying to satsify a FIFAseries-friendly base of people. I wont however try to get a refund, as Ive already put too much hours in this beta. I could keep nagging on what I dislike about this version but then Id probably get a warning or ban from the mods so I better keep all my opinions for myself. On the plusside, this beta seems more smooth than other betas so maybe we dont have to cry out for a big patch an hour after releaseday this time.

Mennox Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 My Mac is hotting up and the fan is going crazy during matches. i7 processor, 16GB memory and five star 3D graphics rating and it's having to work a bit too hard. FM15 ran seamlessly and although other aspects of the game seem even quicker than FM15 (continues, saves and opening scouting menu particularly), I think the game needs optimising for Mac OS (unless you Windows guys are encountering the same). I am having the same issue on my Windows PC (only i5 and 7GB ram which had no performance issues on FM15 on very high graphic settings)....everything runs fine until I play a match and my CPU and memory utilization goes really high, which actually causes any videos/streaming or web browsing to lag quite bad.

By asking him to harry and harrass defenders on the ball, you are then asking him to ignore his role, he can't do both at once. A goal poacher's instinct to sit on the shoulder of the last defender should probably only come into play when his team is in possession or if the other team has a period of sustained possession, then yes be ready to exploit the space behind the defenders, but not when the ball is in their half. When the opposing team is trying to play out from the back, that's really the only opportunity he gets to close the ball down, and I would like him to do that ALL the time. I even set opposition instructions to close down the defenders and goal keepers, so the "sometimes" PI seems very contradictory to what I'm trying to do.
