Popular Post Kingstontom88 Posted November 17, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 17, 2019 I am enjoying this game, but the ME is consistently throwing out shocking decision making in the final third. Shooting from angles is persistent, players picking the ball up from deep and running and running all the way and then shooting rather than making a logical decision and squaring the ball. The result is a save, the ball is dragged wide or hits the side netting - rarely ever results in a goal. One-on-ones are still rarely converted in my experience as well. Others may have other evidence on their game, but I'm just sharing what I'm seeing. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigV Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 50/50, either it will or it won't sorry it was set up. Probably will have a few tweaks, Miles did tweet not long ago about the ME being wildly better, probably a good chance that its different. Going off the last 3 years where they've changed it then im inclined to beleive it will. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was essentially 4 or 5 Liverpool players trying to tackle each other and the ball ricocheting off him and in. I've seen this happen loads on the new update. It looks rediculous. That's pretty much how Ajax conceded the second goal against Tottenham - everyone kept going for the ball, rather than letting the goalkeeper have it, and the ball bounced between them all until it ended up with Lucas who slotted it in past all of them.

Ras Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Training section looks improved, I never really bother with training and leave it up to the assistant but the way it is now it's possible to make some tweaks. Love FM so much, I like how immersive this can be now too from how you can mold players so you cab have more of an individual effect on their development. Training combined with the medical center adds another element to the game, I'm aware both have been there for a while but they seem to work in better conjunction together now. I love the community outreach and team bonding options too, fantastic. The game isn't perfect but in many ways it just keeps getting better and better, over time I'll try and give more in depth feedback on things that can improve. I sometimes get so into the games I don't come on the forums until it's time to hear news about the next game. There's some improvements I think that could be made that could make the games even better. While on that, a small thing but I think the player interaction as some mentioned at times can be improved, for instance praise, I think this should primarily help strengthen the bond between the player and coach and also improve morale, I think negative reactions to praise is unrealistic, praise or congratulations. As others have said the worst that can happen should be that if you over praise the players constantly they become complacent in training or matches, but that should be only if it's overboard so people can't abuse it constantly for morale boosts. I also think reactions in that should depend on the players personality's, a model pro for example would never slack on matter how much the manager praises them, somebody with an arrogance or that's lazy constantly getting praise, especially if it's not merited could get complacent. There's a whole world to expand, great thing about the games, can keep growing and expanding constantly. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence SI may be quite understandably cautious as to when and where to improve it -- and they must have received tons of Feedback from their tacticsl community throughout the years. However, the game isn't primarily aimed at FM's tactical community. As argued, the reason why the AI on the Occasion scores from few to fewer shots it that it doesn't care About the shots piling up+1 on a spreadsheet come the final whistle blown. It cares About the scorelines -- and makes dynamic match Adjustments accordingly. Shutting up shop to make it harder to score from the kick-off if Content with a draw; Throwing bodies forward ten minutes from time when chasing an Opposition lead at the hopefully ()calculated Risk of being countered; Making multiple Subs at HT and switching tactics to a plan B if Things don't seem to go to plan, and so on. Football isn't science, but surely such simple stuff is Pretty well understood and acknowledged for. Meistertrainerforum.de Well indeed, and I sometimes feel like a bit of a d*ck for complaining about the ME as it's an impossible task. The days of text only commentary on CM were probably filled with instances of the same issues but because they were not visualised they were not as frustrating to experience. Sometimes I feel the visualisations of the commentary are not meant to look as easy as they do on screen. I know Aubamayang would be extremely unlikely to miss (or have saved) 16 straight one on one opportunities in real life, so to see that happen on screen makes it frustrating, even though I am doing well with Arsenal.

Popular Post duesouth Posted November 18, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 18, 2019 With 3 different teams, I've been throwing different things at the latest ME. Now, the initial ME, the 1 on 1's were too many - but I was living with it. In winning the Danish 2nd div title, my Advanced Forward was top scorer with 27 goals. He missed a bunch, but he was scoring enough as well. When the ME was updated, I left my tactics the same. The first thing I noticed was suddenly I started conceding from corners - the first 3 games and I conceded in 5 of 8 games. I switched clubs, staying in the Danish 1st div - to HB Koge - better players, but they were low in the league and even then, and with tweaks to the defending corners setup, I still conceded too often from corners. For some reason, that bothered me more than the 1 on 1's in the original ME. Holding over from the original beta ME, I still wasn't seeing what I wanted from my winger/inverted winger. Playing a 4-1-3-2, I thought the winger on support was too narrow and most of the time seemed to get in a great position to cross, but checked back - or just stopped and got muscled off the ball. The inverted winger was ineffective. To further test the ME, I started a new save with Ajax. I've never used a 4-2-3-1 before, so early season we were poor and that was on me. But I did find that with morale low, we shipped from corners too much. Then we won 5 in a row - and we stopped shipping from them. I hadn't seen the penalties issue in my Danish save at all. However, in this one I did - but in batches. A 3 game stretch, there were 4 penalties - all for me - and I can't say they really looked like fouls in the graphical representation of the ME. Then none for a bit, then another little cluster (I'll upload some pkm's when I get home tonight). With a Winger on Attack in the AMR slot, I still wasn't seeing what I wanted from him. I would see him run with the ball more than my Danish save, but he still didn't get crosses in enough - and still checked back when in good positions to cross. The main time he did what I was expecting was when he picked up the ball in his own half - but then he would run and run - beat 3 or 4 and often score. I also thought when we were camped in the oppo's half against a parked bus, despite playing with a wide TI, it was all too narrow. The full backs gave the width not the wingers. The 1 on 1's have been replaced with the AML or AMR coming in with a poor angle and either hitting the side netting or trying to shoot into the far post and putting it 10+ yards wide - rarely from that position did they cross. I scored some, but for the quality of the players, the decision making and execution were poor (the same player can run from his own half, beat 3 and score - but can't see an unmarked player in the box and hits a narrow angle shot into the side netting consistently?). I guess I understood my Danish 2nd div striker missing as many as he scored - but lesser so with Ajax players. I also found it hard to get my striker scoring - although I wouldn't say Ajax have top options at the position, so not the best save to test. So, in summary, I would say: Goals conceded from corners are a problem - you ship more when you are in poor form/morale low - so when the ME decides you are going to lose/concede, it's too heavily weighted on conceding from corners; Behaviour of wide attacking players is still a concern for me; Penalties not an issue in Danish 1st div - but is in clusters in Ajax save; Offside goals less than in the original beta ME; 1 on 1's for striker less - but those that happen tend to result in a save/miss - they've been replaced with AML/AMR from a narrow angle most often hitting the side netting. Overall, for me at least, the issues bugged me more and I enjoyed the game less than the original beta ME. I know that's not the case for everyone, but that's just how I feel. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unsaid ♿ Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Having spent ~25 hrs on the beta, here are my thoughts on FM20 and the direction you should go in generally:FM20 feedback: 1. definitely the match engine requires some last minute tweaking, as long shots seem overpowered compared to 1-on-1s inside the box. 2. still not sure the pre-match briefing affects anything whatsoever, but I can't confirm it doesn't either. 3. there seem to be some leftover graphical artifacts, although they seem to have diminished in numbers greatly after the pre-release patch. my videocard works without issues in general, but in FM i sometimes see a green rectangle in one frame every 10 mins give or take. 4. I think the player animations became more diverse, and that's a good thing, even though in the previous version of the beta that resulted in players using rabona way too often :), but im sure you can get the balance here just right. 5. the way you made player role system in the squad more detailed is amazing, it's always been a complaint of mine - the system was way too rigid to my liking. now the players seem to be completely satisfied with the time that i give them, as we can work together on their (and mine) expectations. well-done! 6. can't quite put my finger on it, but the UI during 3d matches seems less polished than usual ? weird feeling, im sure you didnt change it, but the radar, for instance, seems to scale wrong (strange proportions), and everything seems to snap to weird positions, even though before i remember being able to define where everything goes in a very flexible and precise way.Now you probably keep hearing about this every year, but I'll still give my 2 cents about what you should do next:1. the set pieces system as we have it now needs to go... it's too much of a hit and miss now, and it's not realistic at all. imagine having certain defensive corner settings, then your opponent overloads your box on an occasion and... in real life players aren't blind they'd notice it and adapt accordingly, to the best of their ability. But in this game you're basically entitled to AT LEAST one bad defensive corner before you can even do anything - your players will keep defending exactly like they were instructed beforehand. Now if to react, you have to do all this tedious work in the set piece constructor right in game, interrupt your game flow and spend time on thinking that may not even pay off. now, out with the old, in with the new, if you ask me! there are so many options to consider: 1) delegate making custom set pieces initially and on per-game basis to an assistant ? worth a shot 2) make the default setups more balanced and efficient, create variations for every mentality (or at least "safe" for defensive, "balanced" for cautious-balanced-positive, and "counter-attacking" for attacking mentalities). 3) make players more self-sufficient and adaptive in this regard. 4) maybe (probably a bad idea) add some quick popup, akin to the one with the penalty taker, that will prompt you to decide what kind of corner/set piece setup you want to use every single time? 5) in general simplify and streamline the set piece constructor interface! especially in-game. it needs WAY more drag'n'drop, it needs more flexibility.2. Yeah, this is not happening because for obvious reasons your core player group either has low-end pcs or just isn't too tech-savvy, but... a completely new match engine and graphical engine is in order. Even if you add it as a DLC or something, even for purely cosmetical purposes? I refuse to believe we can't achieve something like FIFA 2010-2014 in 2020. I know that the process of migrating to another engine can take forever, and really hope you've been doing it under the radar :(, because if you haven't started, then we're bound to see exactly the same game for the next 3-4 iterations. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingstontom88 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 @duesouth I echo your sentiments almost entirely. I don't see this current ME as any better than the last one. Players shooting from angles that just smack of pure desperation, virtually on the byline when there is an obvious better option in the middle - as with you, I'm playing a team near the top level and you would expect much better decision making. Goals from corners have been quite high for and against me, as have penalties (yes, could be tactics but it appears I'm not exclusive to these issues). Bookings are also high but that is probably down to my style of play. Throw ins are also a bug-bear - opp players being left completely unmarked in advanced positions, full backs backing away from attacking wingers or reacting too slowly to close down appropriately, allowing the winger to blast forward for a 1-on-1. Enjoying everything else about the game - club vision is great and I feel there is more realism outside of the matchday, but for me, the ME is a disappointment so far. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted his figures but that first season Lewandowski got something like 39 in 42, so far second season he's on 2 in 15, I tried all I could to get him back on track but it was the wide men getting the goals, all 4 of them are massively outscoring him while Rob's not getting the chances he had in season 1.

So, hard to spend 25% of your training every week on defending corners - but I did every other week. I'm also not sure there were the right staff to get the analysis report. Have to admit with Ajax, probably didn't spend enough time on that - was playing faster than I usually do to test the beta - but I'll slow down tonight and see what happens.

It provides space for wing- backs plus with an inverted winger near the penalty area they can pressure opposition defenders sooner if the attack breaks down. I got Jadon Sancho and also have Martinelli, Saka and Smith-Rowe at Arsenal who are all superb in that position on the left (Saka and Sancho also on the right). One caveat, you need an attacking wing or full back on the overlap or you end up with no-one out wide in attack. Gen Press works with this very well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

martplfc1 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Will try this, as overlapping wing backs with inside forwards doesnt seem very effective. They just regularly run to the byline, stop, then either get tackled or win a corner. That said, changing them to attacking full backs seems an improvement.

As others have said the worst that can happen should be that if you over praise the players constantly they become complacent in training or matches, but that should be only if it's overboard so people can't abuse it constantly for morale boosts. I also think reactions in that should depend on the players personality's, a model pro for example would never slack on matter how much the manager praises them, somebody with an arrogance or that's lazy constantly getting praise, especially if it's not merited could get complacent. There's a whole world to expand, great thing about the games, can keep growing and expanding constantly. This is all included in the game We are a little tighter on unnecessary/excessive praise than you suggest, for realism and gameplay reasons, but otherwise this all occurs, including personality dictating how a player responds and positive interactions building relationships. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew I could get my low determination kid to have a good level of determination and ppm with the right guidance of a particular player. That dosn't seem as obvious and clear with the new (okay it's been here 2 years) system. This is in fact one of the main reasons we moved away from the old system. Aside from it being unrealistic, as recommended to us by a real-life manager, it was far too easy to game the system and turn any youngster into a model professional. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how this is necessarily realistic, though. The interaction system is far too limited and lacks the ability to say e.g. "You were great at X, Y and Z last match but I was disappointed with your A, B, and C" or "In the last match, you improved on X from previous games, but I still need to see you do even better". It's as if the game wants you to never speak to your players... Edited November 18, 2019 by autohoratio 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree somewhat, but of course depends on what the game considers is "unecessary". The pure arsey responses from some is completely unnecessary and, I would think, unrealistic. For example, you can praise a player for being good in front of goal after scoring twice, and the conversation ends along the lines of: "I'd play alot better if you'd just let me get on with it". You're left feeling rage for just appreciating a player, given there's nothing you can do to respond further. The player I'm referring to here is Mane btw - one of the best professionals at the club. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedrik Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Small question on the DB: similar to previous versions of the game, the DB will after the release not be changed until the winter update somewhere in feb/march? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally the only data updates are if there are glaring errors which impact the game, until after the January window. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because his opponent is defending extremely narrow, which opens up space on the opposing wing if you overdo it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
