dannysheard Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 20 hours ago, Totalfootballfan said: Finally, I've managed to go through freezes and crushes and finished the 1st season in La Liga. In order not to cause any distraction I picked the weakest team in the leagues(Valladolid) so all grandes such as Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid were under AI control. I’m sure that many people also will be interested to know how things stand in FM19 Beta when it comes “eagle point of view” on things and how it compared with real life football. Here are some my observations on the data below: - Barcelona didn't play possession football and its average possession at the end of the season was only 55% - Barcelona and Real Madrid had almost the same amount of possession(about 55%) as Huesca, Girona and other small clubs at the end of the season which is very unrealistic - The top clubs scored very low amount of goals during the season, for example, Barcelona and Real Madrid scored only about 65 goals at the end of the season - The top clubs didn't show any dominance, for example, Barcelona and Real Madrid got only about 76 points and the end of the season - Messi made 19 appearances in the league and scored only 7 goals LEAGUE TABLE POSSESSION STATS MESSI'S STATS That looks pretty worrying to me. Does anybody know if City are unrealistically bad again in this FM? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrycarrie Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I've noticed 424 ultra press/ultra attack is still insanely good. I know its United but I'm unbeaten all season, three draws across all competitions (one of those draws was a penalty loss to Bournemouth in the League Cup with my back up team).

The Right Click Menu just replicates the options you have in the menubar on those screens, your other squads will have those options on their screens to direct you to those screens for those squads, whilst the main ones bring up your first team so there is no need for them to be on the main squad screen. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair it’s not really that worrying and this is only 1 persons save, you would need to compare it to several people’s save before it was a worrying in my opinion. Plus looking at it Messi clearly had an injury to play that little games. He also said no top club dominated yet Athletico did as they got 90 points and only conceded 13 goals. To answer your question City have been good on my save, they have drawn a few but are Close to the top just behind Liverpool and spurs, I’m only in October though.

Sunstrikuuu Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Very early, of course, and my sample size is minuscule, but I'm concerned about crosses again. I've seen five goals so far. Four have been directly from crosses, and one was after some head tennis resulting from a cross. My wingbacks, even when 1v2, are always in a ton of space, and so are the opposition's. That diagonal ball out to the flanks always seems to be available. I'm hopeful that as I get further into the season I'll see some more diversity in attack from the AI (and some better defending from my Genoa).

Zek Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 This is the PL in a test season: Both Guardiola and Sarri had their job at insecure at one point, but didn't get the sack.

michelb86 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I really like it so far. Didn't play FM18 but this is a big big big improvement. A lot of new things and still a lot I probably haven't discovered yet (I'm in December 2018). Some minor comments on my Ajax game: - De Ligt and De Jong but also some other players are wanted by big clubs in real life. I didn't have a single offer in my game in the first season so far, they even extended their contract with 5 years. - Ajax is one of the healthiest clubs in the world. TD Overmars made it very clear in the media a couple of times they don't want to be taken over by some rich guy. And yet I already had two transfer embargos by the board because of possible takeovers. - I was hoping this FM would have some more realism in terms of league standings. I'm almost halfway and Utrecht is 1st, PEC Zwolle is at 2nd and Vitesse was18th (yeah I suck with being 3rd, I know). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the board are entertaining offers that early on when you would expect them to be happy to stay for years it may be that their data has been set incorrectly.

I tried to upload a highlight to YouTube but although it exported ok, it only went to my files and didn't go direct to YouTube. I know that nobody used it in FM18 because both teams appeared in white, but even before that the exported video at least used to go to YouTube. The reason I'm not sure if this is a bug or not is because I know that the social media stuff hasn't worked in the Beta's before. 2. Is there sound in the Beta, (because I'm not getting any), but again, I think this is common with previous Beta's too. (I have sound so ignore that). Thanks in advance. Amazing so far. Well done.

Spedding Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 (edited) My feedback so far ui is a big improvement on last year.
