dking Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 (edited) Have to agree with people about the UI, pointless clicking to do simple things and the scouting being really bad this year. I don't think I need to add anything else as it's all been said already. Still playing, though I'm not sure for how much longer as the scouting, more than anything else, is just driving me up the wall. All in all I feel this is the worst release in quite some time and if I could, I would get a refund but I've played too many hours now, which is very annoying as it takes hours to find out what the game is all about.

Trevor L. Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but for me at least, I am really enjoying the game. I have no issues with the UI, partly because I deal with a program that drives me crazy at work, and this one seems nicer. I never understood the big deal with extra clicking. Just me I guess. ME is playing fine, except a few little things that I am sure will get worked out in the next patch or 2. Getting used to scouting and rather like the way it is setup. I have played since day 1 of beta and usually try 3 or so hours a night so i think i have a good grasp of things. Hoping to take Werder Breman to European glory. I say just keep plugging away, the great game you love will show through eventually. It did for me. Great job SI. Trevor L. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jam jameson Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Here we are with another awful example of bad ME, even more annoying because again it affects set pieces, by far the most flawed part of the ME...Wide free kick, defence placed, the opponent spots a mate free on the edge of the area and passes to him instead of crossing into the area. Suddenly, a crop of defenders keep running towards the middle of the pitch, apparently to close down the opponent receiving the ball, but as the action develops they just keep running without concerning about what's going on behind them...the latest 2 screenshots show a bunch of idiots running together towards the half line, with 8 opponents free to manage the ball around my area...is this a BUG or it's down to MY TACTICS???

Etebaer Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 (edited) I suffered a very bad freekick defending. All my Players were left center side in the Box - all the Attackers were right center side in the Box (from Defender view) and had no trouble to score a Goal when they got he ball played to them as there was no defense at all against it as no one of my Players was anywhere near - they formed pretty much a ten man wall not even really placed between goal and ball bcs it was a freekick from a center Position outside the Box and easy to bypass.

Guest El Payaso Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 I only hope that SI can fix the issues with defenders not marking anyone tightly when they receive the ball. Makes the ME really hard to watch when strikers can pick up all the long balls freely and wingers always have meters of space when they receive the ball. Of course there are also issues with marking in midfield too but this is quite well covered with lack of movement by the attacking side. Of course the ultimate solution would be that teams would actually defend as teams and by that would also be more likely to attack as a team but SI don't seem to want to do that and because of that there is huge distance between the striker(s) and the defense and because of that the whole thing is always going to be a big mess. But yeah not interested in writing all this stuff over and over again and reporting about the same issues in the bugs forum. Peace out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

warlock Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Looks like direct free kicks have taken a massive hit with the nerf bat. As Man Utd, with Pogba, Mata (and others) on free kick duty and 31 games played this season, we've scored a grand total of none. Zero, zip, zilch. So I had a look at stats for the Premier League as a whole for the season and, with more than 600 games played, there have been a total of 9 goals from DFKs. Swansea top the table with two! At least we're in good company: Arsenal, Man City and Spurs have failed to convert any. Have to say that looks pretty unrealistic. I'm wondering whether it's part and parcel of the general downgrade that finishing appears to have suffered (had one instance where Rashford was in the middle of the goal, two yards out, and he put it five yards wide!) Just had another look and it's even weirder than I thought: Teams in the Championship have scored more than 40 goals from DFKs. Division 1 the same; Serie A clubs have more than 30 (Juventus alone has 7), and a similar story in France and Spain. Might be a problem unique to the Premiership. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
