But I shook it off and then lost 4-0 in an even game to a set piece header, a 30-yarder, a direct free kick and a cross from a winger for the other winger to head in. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis Bickle Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I cannot tell you how sick I am of seeing English teams dominate continental football on my saves. Not everyone who plays FM is from England not everyone wants to see English clubs dominate the football scene. I don't enjoy seeing consecutive all English CL finals, or Man Utd win it 4 times in a row. I have nothing against English teams but some variation would be nice. I rarely get anything other than 2 or 3 English teams in the CL Semi Finals. Test this out for yourselves, look at your long term saves and check how many times English teams won/how many all English finals there are/how many years English teams collectively actively underperformed. On top of this, Scottish clubs are vastly overrated and consistently perform well beyond their means. I am not suggesting there is some scripting, I am suggesting the CA/Rep levels of those that play in England and to a lesser extent Scotland are vastly overpowered relative to their equivalent Spain/Italy/Germany based equivalents. To finish it off, I haven idea why "no Brexit" is even an option in this game. If a player leaves a club on January 31st 2020, during the next update he will be moved to his new club. Yet Brexit happened on January 31st 2020 and I get the "no Brexit" option quite often in-game. It seems like another way to minimise something that negatively effects the English game. Argue all you want but there's too much of an Anglo-centric view in this game. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Federico Posted April 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 8, 2020 I'm sorry really but this has nothing to do with tactics. The first two games are a bit more balanced but there's no really reason for a team scoring NOTHING after 15 shots on goal. I can mention tens of games like that. This is consistent, repetitive and this can be checked on AI vs. AI games too. Unless we want to suggest AI to have a look around the tactic forum as well. This is the game as it is this year, may you like it or not. I don't. But take it or leave it. Let's be honest for once. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etebaer Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 CCC and half chances are in the screenshots almost not existant so the ME probably thinks the chances were not worth scoring...

The problem is that it’s the second year in a row we are told that despite knowing that the customers are not happy with the ME, they need to abandone it to work on next ME, yet this year we got a tweaked version of past year ME with similar issues plus a few fixes and some added problems. If you are just going to keep tweaking this ME as you did last year, then at least keep giving us the updates in between even if we beta test for 9 more months, at least we will have a better ME next year with our feedback. Unless there is a valid reason, I can only think that is a business decision so we all will buy FM21 to get the promised engine. The problem is if it doesn’t come next year and we are fooled twice... so for first time in 20 years playing FM I’m thinking abot not buying fm21 until I’m sure that we are not getting FM19.3 regarding the ME. Everything outside the ME is awesome as it is and FM20 was the best version ever imho but I have deleted it from my computer as can’t stand the ME. 23 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the problem is that the people not happy about the game is a minority according to SI and according to the number of people playing it and the hours they spend on it. Surely the game need to be improved, but probably, according to their view, it is not that bad and fixes are not that urgent as we (myself included) are depicting. I uninstalled FM20 too for the same reason. Again, I purchased a version of FM I barely played, and not because of lack of time only. Incredibly, I personally find FM15 or even FM07 more entertaining and realistic to play. No offense, I know a lot of work has been made meanwhile. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hh123 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Again for me deciding the engine wont be worked on anymore is quite amusing. Above match a prime example: My team with 2 world class strikers and a world class gk: 6 clear cut chances and 4 half chances (2 goals one an own goal and 2nd a penalty...). Other team zero clear cut or half chances and 2 goals... The above scenario happens time and time again. The reality is clear cut chances (excluding penalties) have a 1 in 4 chance of going in at best? half chances a 1 in 6? The conversion rates for these for me are far lower than long range shots that are not blocked and also probably similar to conversion rates from corners... Most goals scored from forwards are rebounds after another shot or even sliding tackles near the goal... Yes you can play the match engine (I have won the cup last 4 seasons, league last 3 and last season won all domestic trophies), CL harder as a teams performance seems so erratic (1 day i could beat Real Madrid 7-0 and next lose 5-0 to Man Unt with identical tactics and line up) however its still very frustating just seeing nicely crafted opportunities missed again and again with strikers with 18 finishing, composure and technique... As someone who plays/ed football to lower semi pro level in real life even I would have at least double the conversion ratio presented these chances than my world class forwards have. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marko1989 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 For me, SI statement about FM 20 is very disappointing. For last 3 FM versions we had really bad match engines. They are aware of it, and then they say - they will not do anything more about FM 2020. FM 2021 will not come soon, so people must play FM20 with bad ME for couple more months. At least they could try improving it a bit, so for those couple of months we play FM with Match Engine which don't suck, this much at least, since each year we are buying this game and each year we have to deal with new problems. I respect them, they are part of my life, of my childhood but I honestly think they need some competition in this video game genre or they will continue with this. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Federico Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Competition has nothing to do with how bad or good FM is. The staff has passion for football and competence. I started thinking we're all probably too much demanding. The problem with games about football is that football is something everybody in the world think to be an expert of. So everybody wants FM to be EXACTLY as he imagines football to be. It's not like making a sci-fi simulation or a platform. It's very complicated to have a confrontantion with hundreds of thousands of people and each one of them thinks he knows better. And secondly, maybe I'm wrong I don't know, I started thinking there's just so much they can do with the software and the hardware available nowadays. What I find a bit disappointing though is that after so many years, a product should evolve and in better, while now I'm enjoying much more older edition. Older editions like FM15 or FM07. It's not right at all that I prefer and I find more enjoyable a game made 13 yearso ago. Anyway, just thinking loud. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marko1989 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 (edited) "we are too demanding" No. As you say, and you are right, Fm 2015 for example is better. It is far from perfect but it is at least fun to play! Just compare how inside forwards behave in both versions. In 2015 you could clearly see the difference between inside forwards with placed shots, with shoot with power, inside forwards with one-two trait, go forward whenever possible, cut inside etc. You could clearly see all of that in 2D Match engine in 2015! I remember fm 2015 very well and you as well, you can clearly see the difference between Pione Sisto and more elegant for example Bernardo Silva, right? And then watch inside forwards in 2020. It can't be even compared how much better was 5 years ago. Match Engine is not just a worse representation of football, it even looks worse in some things than before. Look at the grass or that gray thing around pitch in 2D match view. In 2020 we are going backwards even with graphics. So, are we too demanding? No, we just want to go forward with the match engine and not backwards. Edited April 9, 2020 by Marko1989 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CityAndColour Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Just to add to the litany of fundamental faults in this ME, when a team counter attacks, no one picks up wide runners, which means the team countering always ends up with free men wide and outnumbers the defence. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domoboy23 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Please go back to FM13 as a base version of ME to work with for next year. It looks better, is smoother, animations make sense, it's a better representation of a football match, high scorelines are less common, very elite players could still bag 38 goals in 36 games, and most importantly, players actually had character, personality and quirks on the ME.

The first two games are a bit more balanced but there's no really reason for a team scoring NOTHING after 15 shots on goal. But how can you judge the quality of those shots just from looking at the number? 15 shots can mean absolutely nothing if all of them are either long shots or obstructed headers from set pieces. It's easy to generate a lot of shots, what's harder is creating actual good quality chances, especially with a team like Chelsea, which majority of the opposition will straight up park the bus against. Here's an example of a shot map where, as you said, there would be no reason for a team not to score: 15 shots coming from open play and 12 of them inside the penalty area. This is not what you see when people complain about "strikers not scoring" or all the unconverted "chances" they're having though, majority of such posts simply go by the number of shots and that's where it ends. And the game sadly does itself no favours, because not only is there no quick way to filter out set pieces or headers, you'll also read about "dominating" performances in your Inbox items as soon as there's high possession or a lot of shots involved. So an average player then rightfully assumes he should be scoring more, even though his tactic isn't actually creating any good quality chances. 1 hour ago, janesy20 said: 6 games in the Prem and and I've had 3 red cards (I don't have get stuck in on) far too many yellow cards flying about! What's your tactic like? Is your closing down too extreme for the quality of players you have? What about player's Aggression and Tackling? Is he fouling because he can't cope with the player in his defensive area, or is it just his Dirtiness that is high? Are there any Opposition Instructions on? I'm sure you've taken all of the many variables into account before coming to conclusion there's something wrong with the game, after 6 games. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JordanMilly Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 @Federico - Please try to be constructive and actually respond to people's comments if you don't agree with them, rather than just be dismissive. If you think @Zemahh is wrong (which, in my view, he isn't - it is very easy to have a tonne of shots, none of which were ever likely to go in), you're welcome to explain why you think he is, rather than just post dismissive one liners. EDIT: And due to your unhelpful response, you're welcome to not participate in the thread for the bank holiday weekend. Take a break and come back when you're going to be less disruptive for people wanting to discuss things constructively. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
