He's just come back, and he's not joining Juve. His contract is up in 1 week, and the thought of letting him go on a free and not getting the 25m (that I don't even need) is too annoying, so I'm gonna have to give him a new contract and try to sell this 31 year old for as much as I can get. I don't need the money, but I want it. Is it a bug? I assume it's a bug, but I'm not sure on the rules considering his contract is expiring. optimist me: I guess it is just the AI being smart. instead of paying 25 M for a 31 year old, they let him back gambling that you won't sign him so they could get him for free. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFuller Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I'm also noticing more variety in goals than just crosses (though they are, unsurprisingly, a fairly regular source of goals at both ends when using a wide 4-3-3). I don't have FM open right now, but I can say that through-balls aren't the endangered species some users seem to think they are. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piperita Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 A few positives: The game is insanely fast. I've been playing on a pretty old machine lately and it still works splendidly. Whatever happened under the surface, it works! With comparable databases it runs a lot more fluid than FM17. Also super stable. My gimmick for the beta was replaying each match for a half-season around 50 times each (100 for the first game). On 17 my cheat file borked quite often after a few reloads. Meanwhile on 19 I've had only one error so far and that was probably due to me overworking my laptop. I like how much 'momentum' and mentals matter. In 17 the formation was king and all-around stats did the rest. Now it feels like there is a better balance for 'runs' and for sideline management. Defensive formations are fun! Finally a good and fun and deeper training system. The presets I tested worked and are balanced and are good starting points for tweaking a system. In 17 the base formations either were too generic or just unfinished. Things I need to test more: New training system. I tried letting the assistant do it for the first season to get a 'feeling' for normal schedules. I encountered three problems: When matches get rescheduled sometimes there are two recovery days in a row. Physical training was almost non-existant which wouldn't be that much of a big thing post preseason but my players kept complaining. In leagues with short preseasons the intensity is sometimes set too low. Mentoring. There's a lot that is currently unknown and I look forwards to what it does to my promising youngsters longterm or how it helps form bonds. Things I'm not too keen about Scouting takes what feels like an eternity! I played a good 2nd Bundesliga team and the transfer period was over before I had a usable overview on already established players. Players complaining about the training. Sometimes they want focus on X but sometimes it is hard to know whether they want chsnged team training or individual focus or something else. One of my players almost got fired early on because he kept complaining about penalty training and when I relented he complained about his workload the next day. Things I want Better integration of training performance. I love seeing it in detail. But I feel like those values should open up some player interactions. When praising a player I should be able to promise match time or a place on the bench/team *for* their effort. I should be able to better threaten a player for bad efforts or even cancel promises. One of my reserve centre backs complained about lacking match time and as it was a 50-50 decision anyway only decided by a preseason injury, I promised a starting position. Then three weeks in a row performances in the 5.x regions while the others were in the high 7/low 8 regions. I neither wanted to play him after those but couldn't risk upsetting him either and sadly the 'promise not kept' options only happens after the fact.

pats Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 5 hours ago, 91427 said: Really irritating how 'runs with with ball' is hardcoded into so many full back and wing back roles this year, along with 'cross more often'. There is not a single role or duty in the wing back strata that does not have 'run wide with ball' or 'cut inside with ball' hardcoded. I want a possesion based system that doesn't cross much with attacking full backs but that's just impossible as the game currently is. Full backs constantly running away from support then sending big looping crosses into the box is not the style of football I want. Why are player instructions even hardcoded anyway? Let us change them if we want to That's a very annoying and unnecessary change this year in my opinion. Why would I want my supporting wingbacks to 'run wide with ball' all the time? And also why have all the 'automatic' duties also have those hardcoded instructions? I guess to help AI but then that's the reason AI goes cross crazy in the first place.

I tried to play and gave up on setting up on Through ball possession oriented setup. The Full backs and Wingers will always cross the ball and it results the goal easily.

Positive take: It limits the output and helps the match engine develop in a streamlined way. It helps new players. Negative take: it limits the output and hinders the match engine from developing in a complex way. It sucks for old players who enjoyed defining things themselves more.

CFuller Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Meanwhile in my Fiorentina save, we almost kept a clean sheet at home against an Inter team with three strikers.

treble_yell_:-) Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Some of the attacking movement is really odd - loads of instances of fairly central players with room / passing options in front making weird diagonal runs away from play so they can cross it from wide. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
