It has to be something to do with certain cards and set ups, people saying the game was fine before and now saying that the players have lost all animation, they are just frozen and basically sliding up and down. Certainly something for SI to work on, looks like there will be another update after all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sussex Hammer Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Playing FMC but it's the same ME so.... No issues with player animation. Tackles are much improved and there seems to be a bit more of a midfield battle now and seemingly better defending around the penalty area, Pressing is the best I have seen in FM. Players nick balls away and close down well. Good to see player ratings high even if a player doesn't score or has an assist. Shots seem about right. Have played three games. Away at Southampton and they had 11 with 3 on target. Me with 11 and 4. Result 1-1 Then away at Metalist. They had 11 and 2 and I had 15 and 5. Result I won 3-0 Home v Norwich I had 27 shots with 12 on target only 2 CCC's with Norwich with 6, 1 and 1. Result 1-1. I am hoping that was just a bad day in front of goal!! Not too much of variety in goals at present. Mainly balls played through the middle and one screamer from Norwich! Hoping more variety as I go on. One bug though. In match if you change to another tactic the Team Instructions are greyed out so you cannot adjust them if required,. You can go back to match (I'm old school I go to tactics screen to make changes!) and then go back to tactic screen and it's ok but at first change as I say the TI box is greyed out. Real pity about the International bug where players stay for a whole year. Enjoying my save so don't really want to start again. Is there no possible workaround like a hotfix with an option to force them to retire from International football?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linie Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Good that the Romanian league structure and schedule has been taken care of but other leagues remain ignored. Know it for sure for Indonesia, with a wrong calender ( basically 6 month idle!!!) and a cluster of death for 5,6 month. I don't actually care particularly for Indonesia, but if it's in the game it should be proper. Especially with FMC mode, which I'm using more and more, where changes can't be made via editor.

I'm guessing they've maybe repositioned offscreen? Any ideas how to get them back? And by the way, I'm now up to ELEVEN reserves wanting more playing time.

Spurs08 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 But nothing is in the rulebook about what UEFA would do in that situation, it was assumed after the Europa winners were told they'd get a CL place that a country could have 6 clubs in the CL, UEFA haven't said anything to convince us that assumption is wrong, therefore I imagine SI will keep to their initial interpretation of the rules. It's such an unlikely situation anyway There was a debate about the 6th potential team on one of the podcast I listen to, it was on last year (might have been the Guardian's podcast), and they were discussing about what would happen in that scenario and how perhaps UEFA don't even know themselves. Five clubs will be a maximum however. In the unlikely event of two clubs from the same country winning the Champions League and Europa League and both finishing outside of the domestic qualifying places, then those would still qualify for the Champions League but the side finishing fourth would miss out. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/european/uefa-confirm-champions-league-reward-for-winning-the-europa-league-8630925.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PicturePete Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I think player unhappiness due to playing time has been tuned up WAY TO HIGH. After my last match I had 3 players who played in last match complain about playing time even tho they just played. I thought it was already too high cause I usually play two separate teams and rotate every other match so everyone plays every other game. This use to be fine in years past but this year they complain regardless of their squad status cause I tried changing their status and they still complain. Hopefully this can be hotfixed ASAP cause it effects morale and can lead to players requesting to leave even when they are getting 30+ games a year.

But most of the time it isn't! Like it or not the users have an affect on the game and poor choices or bad management are usually at least partly to blame for issues. Looking at my own save tonight I've played around 5/6 matches since updating, I've had two injuries in that time and no major squad management issues despite being at an ideal point to have problems (Recently took over a relegated club with several unhappy players because of the relegation). Despite having more problems to deal with than any club on any version of FM my squad harmony is still about 50% and the problems are being dealt with successfully by making good choices.

If I see a few people posting the same issues then there could very well be a problem even if I don't have it myself, some posters just give up on the forum as they are just put down by the same 5 or 6 posters about their issues.

CityAndColour Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I can actually see the logic in it - if one or two u18s requested first team football, it might influence others of the same age to do so to, even moreso than senior players who have been around the game awhile. Whether it's coded like that I have no idea. With the Oceania bug - if you were to add another manager of the nation in question and release the player from international duty, would it end the absence?

The entire first team squad was available for selection for this game. It could just be that this is the very first friendly my U19 team has ever had in 2.5 seasons but just though I'd mention it as I can understand why rules would only apply for league and cup for overage players but not in friendlies Sure someone will correct me of its been there all along Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaseuk Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Yes, not thrilled about this patch either. I'm Liverpool, with a pretty top team that ran away with the title the year before. Only played 5 games or so, so far. So understandably a small sample. I'm still winning games, but noticed the following problems: 1) 6-7 players injured in game in the last 3 games. ranging from 3-4 weeks to 3-4 months. 2) 3 players sent off in the last 5 games. 3) 2 players complained about 1st team playing time in this time period of approx. 2-3 weeks. My 19 year old 5th choice centreback (Sule) and a backup 3 star player (Pereyra). Both players only joined the club recently and only missed like the first 2-3 games. I'm still only at the end of Sept. 4) My players ratings have dived. The blackness masking seemed to have gone from alot of players as well. From recollection here's what happened to my players: AB/PO AB/PO Begovic 3.5/3.5 3/3 Flanagan 3/3.5 2.5/3 Moreno 3.5/4 2.5/3 Markovic 2.5/3-3.5 2/2-3 Gerrrad 2.5/2.5 2/2 Thiago 3.5/4 3/3 Can 2.5/4 2/3-4 Depay 2.5/4.5 2/3-4 Darmian 2.5/2.5 2/2 Samper 2.5/4-4.5 2/3.5-4.5 Pereyra 3/3 2.5/2.5 Murillo 2.5/2.5 2/2.5 etc 5) Got the feeling, there's alot of chances created. I regularly get around 30 shots off a game, which seems high. 29 shots for - 9 against v QPR away winning 3-1, 31-11 v Leverkussen away winning 2-1, 20-6 v Wolves home winning 3-1 with my second team, 21-8 v Notts Cty winning away 4-1 in the league cup with my second team, 34-7 v West Ham winning 4-1 away, beating Barcelona at home 2-1 with 22-15 shots.

jeru Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 in short - Too many chances created when a heavy favorite plays against a lower team, finishing has been borked due to too many chances being created and the defending still hasn't improved. The player interactions are worse than ever - my first choice full back wanted to leave so I let him, did a deal for the next transfer window, his morale is very poor which is fair enough but the second choice full back is also unhappy claiming that the first choice guy should be allowed to leave! so result is two very poor morale right full backs. At least I have no problems with my left backs - oh wait my first choice left back has disappeared on international duty for Ghana and hasn't returned for three weeks, the next international fixture is still two weeks away. All in all my game is completely ruined by this so called "update" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

liam9sufc Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 In general I like the patch. To summarise what I like/dislike the most and things ive noticed: Pros: - (so far) No more fluke rebound goals which were the cause of about 80% of my goals conceded - I can actually switch to my counter attacking tactic when protecting a lead in the late stages and see some wonderful counter attacking plays. Before it just felt like we were defending and wasting counter opportunities, now the counter attacks are so swift and realistic - General Bs seems to be cut out. Kind of ties with my first point, freekick rebounds, outrageous gk mistakes, centre backs needlessly wandering out of position. They all seem to have been fixed well - although the patch notes claimed it was a "rare case", it happened to me very often that players would ask for permission to leave despite there being no interest in them whatsoever. Good to see this fixed - saving time OMG thank you. Feels like the game saves at the speed of light now in comparison to what it was before. probably a few more good points that I cant remember off the top of my head but those were the main ones. Now the bad points cons: - Feel like the players complaining about first team football has got worse. Players who have played 4 straight 90mins are complaining when theyre rested for a fa cup tie, never had problems with this pre patch. - don't know if its just me, but it seems as though chance conversion has got a lot worse. Players smashing 1 v 1s 5 yards wide, shooting first time when they have the time and space to control and take a few touches before shooting, the lot. Chance conversion seems to have taken a massive hit, and now looking back at the games I played, im conceding and scoring more long range efforts and "unlikely" chances whilst scoring and conceding a LOT less clear cut and one on one chances. Maybe its in my head, this "issue" is a lot harder to justify, as I cant say "pre patch he would have scored that" without any concrete evidence - I kind of hoped attacking headers would be tweaked. I felt that sometimes headers were unrealistically "soft" and lacked any power. Players like llorente and Andy Carroll are almost rendered useless as many crosses to their head is a soft header straight at the keeper or wide, when in fact some of these players can head the ball with a huge amount of force probs about it as far as I can remember. Overall im happy with the patch though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManUtdFan Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Is it somehow possible to revert back to the previous update?

Miravlix Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 *sighs* Played a month worth of matches in 15.2, when my old computer decided to freeze, so I had no save, but then 15.3 came out, so that made me more positive towards playing all those games again. The matches I lost, had been strong and very solid wins, but in 15.3 my team fell apart, star players got 5.x scores. I can't explain why they are doing so badly, so I didn't post right away, but then I just noticed, I bought Naymar years ago, he is team captain, but in the assman report he is now listed as completely and utterly unable to blend into the squad. I don't know if this is the primary reason for the team falling apart, but having your team captain suddenly be like a new player, can't be healthy.

Its not just a question of balance though you need to look at it from a wider perspective and be able to judge it from a neutral POV. Extra information such as: A) Your rep and current level of your discipline attribute? B) What team are you managing in and which league? Whats the league rep? C) What are the squad status of the players complaining? D) How many games have they played/started in the current season? How many have your team played? E) What are their personalities? When you consider all that you have much more information and be able to make an unbiased and informed judgement as to whether the players have a realistic issue or not.
