Tony Fallows Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Just seen the referee bring play back after an advantage which I haven't seen on FM before. I understand that you can't bring play back to send someone off, and that play has to be stopped right there. But can play be brought back for a second yellow card? Yes, indeed it can!

jam jameson Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Strange thing: never the beta had been so balanced, well performing, nice to see...all agreed on the forum, it was the best fm ever...after the update many issues arose...it's a pity because it all seemed to be fine...any hope to be back to the beta situation with the final release???

Sancho Panza Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I was saving my game and while that was doing i hit the windows button to change the music i was playing in the backround on my computer i then pressed on FM again and i noticed that it still said saving game even though i could click on the buttons in the game itself. That never happened to me in previous versions. I had this when loading a game. The game was stuck on 100% loading but I could click on all the stuff going on in the background that was all fuzzy and blurred out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTHerringbone Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Crosses to the far post are straight up deadly. And I'll put that on horrifying defending. Something is definitely wrong with defending in this ME. Too much illogical positioning and movement from defenders. Full backs coming narrow to close down player with the ball when there is no need for that and leaving wingers acres of space. It needs fixing please.

velvetsky Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 abit of a strange question of which I hope so one can help It is regarding the beta and when it stops working - I have recently moved house and am without internet until the 25th nov. My pc is currently at my parents house (with internet) - my new office is all decorated and ready for the pc - My question- I am wishing to bring my pc back over - I will uupdate it to the latest version before I leave but if I were to do this today would the beta stop working with steam in offline mode or should I wait until tomorrow and update to full version then I know I will be ok lol I haven't had chance to play the beta so am keen to play tonight but I think I know the answer to my question will be it will stop working tomorrow lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SI Staff Ben Kenney Posted November 12, 2015 SI Staff Share Posted November 12, 2015 1. I've just agreed my first bosman deal in Jan to be concluded in June. I wasn't offered the option to "buy now" ... Is that still a feature in the game? Cheers Option is still present. As Arsenal manager I have just signed Geronimo Rulli on a bosman deal. After confirming the deal I receive a 'Arsenal to sign Ruli' news item. This news item contains a 'Buy Now' option. If you have an example where you are not getting the 'Buy Now' option could you please start a thread here - http://community.sigames.com/forumdisplay.php/516-Transfers-Contracts-and-Scouting-Issues Providing a save game before the issue occurred would be great too.

GabrieleGallagher Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Looks to me like a player whose slipped, or has been caught slightly off balance even if this can't be displayed graphically via the 2D, 3D match engine yet due to animations. May I ask the players balance? Definitely slipping or poor balance, it happens quite often IRL vs quick players as n°6. Nothing strange here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weller1980 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 100% agree that the difficulty levels are much better balanced, it makes for a better and more rewarding game. For the first time in a long time, I've needed to amend my tactics to suit the opponent. loving it! I believed prior to the latest update that the big teams were overpowered, now with the latest ME update the smaller teams in the Prem so far seem more competitive, which creates a better balanced league table.

wpmk Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 If anyone else is experiencing overheating or loud fan issues on matchdays with their MacBook Pros or retina machines could you also report this to the Mac bugs forum. Hopefully SI Games can gather as much information about the bug as they can and issue a fix as soon as possible. At the moment I'm extremely disappointed in SI Games that this hasn't been addressed in the release candidate, particularly when the release date is tomorrow, and that there was no communication towards new MBP users that we would experience this issue for FM16. SI officially support new MBPs and my machine clearly exceeds the minimum requirements so it's only natural that I feel cheated that I can't play the game without damaging my machine.

Hit the upright Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I have to say I'm pleased with the update. Plus points, Unlike FM15 the width of the pitch is truly used by attackers when asked and players in the center look for the wide men. The Gks are much improved especially when dealing with crosses, catching the ball rather than flapping at it. closing down and marking are also much better. There may be an issue with the positioning of fullbacks but I need more playing time to really see. On the downside Gks recovery times are still poor as per fm15, they make a stop, palm/kick the ball away but they then stand still and rarely getting back into position to stop the follow up shot. Attackers in and around the penalty area shoot without thinking, shots are frequently blasted straight at players of either side standing in front of the striker, no attempt is made to craft a shooting chance, whether it's a defender from Barnet or Ronaldo. If I was being picky, long passes are too accurate, the passing stats ought to be split into general passing and long passing, very few players are really good long passers it's a skill in itself. Think of Hoddle, Brooking and Beckham. In FM even low passing ability defenders appear to pick out a long pass with ease. Overall a vast improvement on fm15 and I'm really enjoying it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajsr1982 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Here's my feedback on my experiences so far. The full backs issue - Yes, I think they defend narrow, but I'd say this is pretty standard behaviour for the modern full back. One goes narrow, the other goes wide, in a sliding defence. So, I don't have too much of an issue with this. I think there is perhaps an issue in terms of them anticipating the play and getting out to close down opposition wide players once the ball goes wide. It might just be that my players aren't that good, however. Defending - Overall, I have to say I like it. It can be very frustrating to watch, but making space and getting a good shot away is tough. Lots of blocked shots. But then, I consider that true to life. It's a challenge, but I have to say 'Good job'. Counter attacking - I don't consider it to be overpowered. I concede very few goals on the counter, and I play with attacking full backs. I also score very few goals on the counter! I think the issue here is that lots of people like the idea of playing some form of 4-3-3 with a high press. In reality, it's a very hard thing to do, and very few teams successfully pull it off. If your system invites counter attacking (players in the wide AM positions), you will concede on the counter. General build up play - Overall, I like it. The way my players move the ball is much more realistic. Lots of long passes out wide, and a much more varied build up play. I have only played with lower league teams so far, so it might be my players, but I find that build up play can be slow and ponderous, even when playing at a high tempo. Dribbling - Going round a defender is hard in reality, and it's a lot rarer than most people seem to think. Players generally only try it as a last resort. However, I could make some form of argument that it's been toned down a little too far. I see very few instances of attempted or successful dribbles. Just a gut feeling. Free kicks - Really like some of the set plays, and an increase in goals from crosses free kicks is good to see. Low scoring games - It might well be my tactics, and I'm not averse to anti-football, but in most of my games, both teams have fewer than ten attempts at goal, with five shots on target being a true rarity. I certainly haven't deliberately gone for such an approach (It's a reasonably balanced 4-5-1). I'm averaging less than a goal a game for and less than a goal a game against. I think even Tony Pulis' Stoke team did a little better than that! Seems just a little too extreme. I had a 3-3 and a 5-2 win, but most of my other games are 1-0 or 0-0.

Raniel3 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 hi, just a quick question. is this full back positioning problem a regular problem in the game or is it just something that happens rarely? Only because i want to start a new game but if this is a regular thing I feel it could be game breaking for me It does happen on a regular basis, but 1) it does happen for your opponent tooand 2) what happens is that they mostly can get an easy cross, which however is far from being a 100% goal (also because your fullback is now inside the area to defend the cross ). So while it is annoying, I think it does not change the overall balance of the game. It is by far the best match engine for release ever. I mean, there were MEs that were worse than this even after 5 patches in march of the next year. And this comes from a person that is so critical that it didn't play FM 08-15 "seriously" before December because of the bugs! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to add to your last point: You can finally have a solid defense out of the box with certain formations, which is good. Your 4-5-1 seems to mean you only have 1 player in the AM / ST strata, so I would expect nothing else. Also in real life there are teams (especially outside of England) that play with a lot of men behind the ball, and if they are half disciplined they can limit chances - the opponent's or their own. However this is also a thing of your form: I've been extremely solid with a 3-2-2-2-1 for the first half of the season, but in the second half I conceded a lot of goals, probably because teams adjusted (and I did not). Then once I played 4-2-3-1 and the match ended 4-3, so I think your tactical input does have an impact, which I like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can depend on a lot of things, players, tactical familiarity etc. If the overall goal per match ratio is spot on (which it is in my league), it tells you that everything is working as it should and any goals too much or too little for your team are probably tactical. It was really too easy to score on FM 15 (and the impact was seen on the goals per match average), while on FM 16 you really have to risk something if you want to score 3 goals per match Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
