Out of 8 defenders, 6 are injured now. Only midfielder that's accomplished in a defensive role is also injured. Three GKs got injured (one just recovered). Don't get me wrong, I'm not mad, it's just beta, but it's annoying to have this thing happen in every version of the game until it gets patched. On the bright side, I tried playing with the same tactic from FM16 which was successful on every save and it's not working. I'm glad because it heavily relied on wingers and crossing.

Or are they all the same i.e. they can either do the job or they can't? If they are all the same, does that mean they all cost the same in wages? You can sign whoever you want, anyone can do the job. Wages are up to you and the club you are managing. I'd expect to pay more at larger, more reputable clubs however. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
warlock Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Played a couple more matches now and still liking what I'm seeing. No goals from crosses yet; no point-blank one-on-ones hit straight at the keeper; fewer incidents of goalkeepers parrying the ball back into play (and of the couple I've seen the defenders seem to react much better); much more proactive defending from the back four; no overblown ratings for full-backs and higher (more realistic) ratings for centre backs. Other minor things noted: new and more varied commentary during matches; and a long-overdue upgrade to the hints and tips during saves. By and large, I like the new UI, and the changes to staff input and feedback are a big improvement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

luka_zg Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I cant get the faces and logos to work with the default skin. They work with white and black one though..anyone knows why is that? After playing my preseason games, the game seems kind of easy maybe. I am playing as Chelsea though but I won away to Marseille 7-1 and at home vs PSG 5-1.. Other than that the ME looks fantastic to me. No more crossing issues as far as I have seen, much more different goals beeing scored. I have seen some brilliant counter attacks and beautiful passing moves. Also 3d looks really good, I am still 2d classic guy though. The game looks great overall. Great job SI!

On the bright side, I tried playing with the same tactic from FM16 which was successful on every save and it's not working. I'm glad because it heavily relied on wingers and crossing. The thing is, I don't think we've ever 'patched' (updated) injuries after a first version has gone out. On 16.0 injuries were the same as 16.3, on 15.0 they were the same as the last version of 15 etc. It's just a general misconception that stems for coincidence which happens in games. May be you're working your team too hard, or you have high pressing/hard tackling which is causing problems for your defensive players. But I'm played five seasons across two saves and not once had a injury crisis as bad as that, certainly not for one specific set of positions.

Lord Rowell Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 1 hour ago, Seb Wassell said: There is an option in the in-match settings. I believe it is "Show player condition" or the like. That will reduce the overhead to just player names as in previous versions I'd like to come back on this one. In FM16 you had the player name, beneath that a subtle horizontal colour-coded bar to show condition, which was really useful. In FM17, we have player name with this dark background that is intrusive to viewing the match when we have condition on. Now when I de-select this, we have the name of the player, but no guide to condition so as a viewer I've lost information that was useful in FM16, unless I also include the intrusive dark background with the player name. Is there something else I can do? If not, I would request SI look at this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just-Wool Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 So far I only have one small gripe. How they rendered Anfield this year (not sure if this is random or how it is designed) makes it look like the Britannia stadium.

Six friendlies during pre-season may (I stress "may") not be enough to get players fully match fit before the season kicks off. Unfit players are more prone to injury.

Mervmeister Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Wingers are set to attack as part of a flat 4. All default instructions. Left winger Inhave set to shoot less often however. wing backs (support) are all default, shoot less often and run wide with ball. its a 4141 not 4411 sorry. deep lying play maker on support as DMC and both mc's are box to box to stop the striker being too isolated and also aid defence. Exactly same tactic I spent all last year making on FM16, tweaking it all year. netgame I had going last week (photos on twitter) season 1 with Derby we won championship, promoted to prem obv. 1st season in Prem with 7 of the 11 starters being original Derby players we finish 2nd some how. 3rd season we won prem and champs league at first time of asking. Crazy good tactic for FM16 I built. 22 prem clean sheets season 1 in prem and top scorers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
