Richiness Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Not sure if my team is just bad or this is a bug, but I've had midfielders pass back to defenders who then just kick it square out of bounds as if they were being hurried by an attacking player? Attacking player was halfway between midfield and the box and my defender was just inside the D of the box. Also had my midfielders bomb the ball to the wings despite there being no players up there.

puffascruffowitz Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I've had two game crashes so far, one was when I was updating my graphics packs and kept reloading the skin, the 2nd time was just after my first league game which I won handily 4-0 One other note that's always bothered me is the fact that you can't get a report on a player in your squad from anyone in the Scouting staff. I know the easy solution is to get some coach with a decent JA/JP, but it seems silly to me that I can't ask my Chief Scout for a report on a player. Other than that I'm loving the way everything is presented this year. I love the post match reports, they're very nice to look at and useful too. Has the bargaining window for contract negotiations been tightened a bit? Twice now when negotiating a contract for a new player I've made what I thought was a reasonable offer only to be shut down completely. This used to never happen to me unless I went insultingly low with the offer. I like it and think it's realistic, if not frustrating when that's the player you've really set your sights on.

CityAndColour Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Silly question, but one of the things I really like in the 3D is the level of detail on the kits is great - ie you can see the sponsors etc,. Some of the Conference South teams still don't have their kits in game - obviously this will be updated in due course, but would I need to start a new save to have this reflected on the team screen and in the 3D, or could I just refresh skin etc?

Minor additions to the contracts and transfers is a good touch. The only issue I currently have is with injuries. And it isn't the number of injuries as I feel this is just about perfect, it is the seriousness of injuries. I am playing as Manchester United and have just reached the 1st January. I only have 5 injuries at the moment, however 4 of these are serious. Ibrahimovich was ruled out for 4-5 months, then Eric Bailly ruled out for 8-9 months. Nabil Fekir (new signing) then ruled out for 8-9 months and finally, Pogba ruled out for 5-6 months. Overall, 4 of my key players have been ruled out for a good 3/4 of the season. I think this could do with tweaking before release. Or I'm just very unlucky. I've got a lot of injuries in preseason already and even after I quickly lightened the training and upped the resting to create lightest schedule I've ever done in FM, I'm still losing them fast.

One way to definitively get an answer is to report it in the bugs forum and upload your save to the FTP so it can be investigated, looking at your tactics, training and usage of players in matches. It'll be worth mentioning how you're using low match fitness players as well, because they are more likely to pick up knocks. FWIW, take a look at the gameplay section regarding injuries in the FAQ.

Good news as I don't think it's ever been implemented in any previous version. I'm intrigued about the latter though. AFAIK, Indirect free kicks are only awarded irl against a GK for handling a back-pass or throw-in, if they hold onto the ball for more than 6 seconds or if they handle the ball for a 2nd time after releasing it. What type of foul did he commit? Edited October 21, 2016 by Earnie is God! spelling Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He shouldn't approach you for a new contract if there's no interest to renew it. As for the long shots, it could be PPMs or a lack of passing options within your tactical setup.

Firehouse Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Will report it ASAP. Yeah, I looked through player traits, but only one of them have shoots from distance. I know that it can be tactical issue, but in most cases I think there are better options than shooting. It's probably more due to opponents tactics, because most of them sit deep against me, and there isn't much space for my players to exploit. But I would rather surround them, and wait for opportunity to arise, then just smash it into stands. So because of that I think that shoot less often PI should have more meaning.

This has been happening for a few versions in FM and I suspect its down to two different pieces of code not working together right. One piece recognises he wants an improved deal because he feels undervalued but the other piece of code means he doesn't want to sign a new contract with Milan as currently he doesn't feel the squad is strong enough. You should post it in the bugs forum for SI to look at so that they can improve the way it works in future. 4 minutes ago, Firehouse said: And more I play the more I like new FM, but damn those long shots are getting on my nerves. 15+ almost every match, even though I set everyone to shoot less often, and have work ball into box included.

tyro Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 For the player tactical familiarity, I see that some players learn the tactic faster while others are slower. Does this depend on their personality as with other training, or does the game take into account the tactic they used to play? In my case since I started without transfer budgets, I have the starting squad but of course some signings are new for the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric1000 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Way too many fouls caused by players walking with the ball while opposition players snap at their heels. Not a problem with the opposition but with the player keeping hold of the ball instead of passing it ( decision making problem? ). Many times they just walk back towards their own area. Worst one I have seen so far started with the player getting the ball about 25 yards out from opposition area, he then proceeded to walk back with the ball until he was roughly 35 yards from his own area and then passed it back to his own keeper. There were other easy outs available all along his self inflicted hike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
2feet Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Been playing for a few days and have found the 3d match engine to be much improved. Wingers no longer get to the touchline only to dally, take 5 touches and lose the ball. Lots of little things like that are improved, and it feels really fluid and smooth, congratulations to the makers! One thing, I have seen quite often full backs failing to pass back to their goalkeeper in a straight line and the ball going out for a corner. Is this due to league division one quality of players (ie low passing attribute) or due to a match engine issue? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
