daylight Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 If the patch is not out tonight I may post my tactic on the tactics forum, it may be interesting to see the feedback that I get (if any ). I am being quite successful with it but I am seeing a lot of matches with too many shots at goal, both for me and the AI, it seems to run in a bit of a circle where I get a few matches that I get quite a few shots, then there will be a few, lets say lifelike games followed by 1 or 2 from the AI getting a lot of shots, of course this will be down to my tactic versus the other teams but on a whole there are just too many shots at goal going on. I will wait until later tonight and may post my tactic on the tactics board if the update is not out, if for nothing else it would be good to see the feedback, maybe I could make a couple of changes to my 4-1-1-3-1.

RTHerringbone Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Or they get the 'hump' when they lose 2 games in a row and go and try the next tactic. Often posting incoherent comments on the thread before leaving! And you don't need to be Miss Marple to see these same posters providing feedback in this thread accordingly. There is a distinct migration from the downloads area into here when user experiences don't mirror those of the person who spent time and effort creating the tactic in the first place. This is because, after all, if you create a tactic which works for Stockport County but then doesn't work out of the box for someone else's Liverpool, it unequivocally means that the ME is broken Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Äktsjon Männ Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Some feedback on GK distribution. Don't care too much for the short distribution part although I don't think it works well enough either. But the lack of accuracy in long kicks is frustrating. I mean even a GK with average ability should be able to kick the ball in the general vicinity of a teammate every once in a while. Mine are absolutely adamant about whacking it over everyone's heads to the opposition GK or out of play. It's not right that they're even able to - poor kicking ability should result in them regularly failing to clear the half-way line instead of being able to hit it the whole distance of the field every single time. And please, could you make the specific distribution part actually do something instead of being completely cosmetic! /end rant Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArneH Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 On a different note: the mediaI played 2-2 against a team and there was a discussion about a penalty not given by the referee (opposing team). The manager of the opossing team first said: "the referee was right" I myself said when a journalist asked me about it "John (the other manager) won't be happy, but he won't let his sleep for it" Then soon after the opposing manager reacts to me about the decision: "It's ridicilous, we got stolen". I can react upon him. (kinda much tbh; he reacts, I reacts, he reacts upon me, I can react upon him) Is this a known bug? Is this plain bad journalism? (would be realistic) Does the other manager doesn't know left from right? Sorry to bump this, but I want to know if I best make a topic in the bug section about it or not.

It sounds like your team are a bit off the pace at the start and it takes them going a goal down to react. It could also be that the opposition come out fighting from the whistle with aggressive tactics and if thats the case you perhaps need to look to contain them for the first 15/20mins until the match settles down.

I am satisfied with the overall defense, but I just think it is not normal for 80% of the goals conceded at the very first shoot. Like the post above, everytime I see a highlight of the opposite side at the first 5 mins, it is almost a guaranteed goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask Southampton, the Stoke goalkeeper in real life scored in less than 2 minutes...the KEEPER Now this will get your noddle, maybe the opposition considered going defensive in the first 5 minutes but instead went attacking!!

Langefis Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 So after having played 5 full matches as Manchester United I have noticed the following: - Players trying to buy corners/throws off of an opponent. This flaw also existed in 2013. Why keep this function if it doesn't work properly? A simple attempted cross would be much better in those situations, wheter it is reflected or not. So, get rid of ths function. - Wingers seem a bit overpowered. They dribble where they want when they want. - Crosses never reach their target. - Players rarely try a long pass while playing Standard/Balanced and with no instructions. - Not many through balls while playing Standard/Balanced and with no instructions. Besides that I feel I also want to thank you for making this game. I do feel the ME has potential to be much better than the previous one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
