Predictable games. Long ball galore, comical mistakes, useless defenders, overpowered headers, poor passing and ball control/ first touch

We are still looking into the issue and more pkm's do always help.

What is the update on these sorts of issues? I believe we were told, by SI, to trawl through all the bug tracker posts (instead of receiving a change list) to find the ones we were interested in so that we can find out what SI's response was? 

Don't seem to see any update from SI on this post since 03/11 when you have customers above taking the time and effort to upload and describe the prevalent issues throughout your game. Any update would be good, otherwise I will look to trawl through 5/6 pages in 1 week again to see if SI have addressed anything. 

Regards.

We're never going to be in a situation where we can really outline in advance how the next publicly released iteration of the ME will function - because it can change dramatically. In the public feedback thread over on the general discussion section Jack shared some information about what is happening moving forward.

The whole point is that people in this thread have comfort that what is being outlined here will be fixed when you do release an update. However, you don't seem to do changelists so how do people on this thread have comfort that the countless issues they've taken the time to identify will be fixed?

I'll just leave the attached video here. Make your own conclusions.

As many have noticed, possession football has been nerfed a lot due to a higher number of interceptions in the middle of the park by the opposition in this year's engine - so you are left better building up via flanks or just hoofing up the ball. In real life that's kind of truth because teams have learned to be compact and protect well the middle, but in FM, it would be nice to have a balance where as long as I am overloading an area (whether middle or flanks) I can successfully dominate with the right set up and players.

 

My bigger concern is mistakes by defenders and goalkeepers. You can have the best tactic and your defense will not make any mistakes even after playing years into saves, but once you change something that has nothing to do with how your back line behaves (i.e. mixed crosses to floated crosses) your goalkeeper will start making the stupidest mistakes.

The feedback mechanism to a player is terrible - if I make a change to how we cross in the final third and my tactic is not as good now, I would expect to see highlights where we cross and that leads to opposition's counter-attack, but instead you see a goalkeeper with 20 Composure and 20 handling not being able to handle a simple header pass from your defender or GK colliding with CD in some unimaginable way.  This is what really frustrates the players.
