A player with a star is a 'star player' - that is the fans view him as such, he might NOT be the best player at the club but he's viewed in a good light by the supporters for various reasons. For instance Noble at West Ham presently is held in high regard by most supporters because he's been a quality player in his day and loyal to the club ... however he's probably not quite the player today he was a few years ago.

Vane Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Are Manchester United too good again in the first season? Half way through the season and United are league leaders with the likes of Pogba, Martial and Wan-Bissaka being consistently good rather than inconsistent as in real life. They have better averages than Fernandes and Rashford who are also consistently good. I don’t think the game takes their inconsistency into account properly. The other teams seem to be performing in line with what I’d expect except for Arsenal who seem to be struggling in the lower half of the table. If things don’t improve, I’m sure Arteta will get sacked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnewton91 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 In the Canadian Premier League a work permit seems to be required for foreign players but that's not the case in real life - a max of 7 foreigners per squad (and only so many on the field at once) , but they can come from anywhere and don't require a work permit.

You would have to plan ahead then and look at the dates and pay attention to the international call ups. I would be surprised if even 1% of the player base does that. We click continue and then get the match popping up and see we have no players and no option to cancel. I guess one option is just to cancel all the friendlies right away. I'll do that from now on.

Footix Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 (edited) Maybe I'm an idiot but it took me forever to figure out how to set the corner and free-kick settings. It defaults to penalty taker and there's this little arrow next to it, I thought I could click there to change it to e.g. "corners", or that I should select it from some menu. Then I accidentally tapped the right area in sheer frustration and "a-haaaa" ... Could we have a "mirror" button for setting up set pieces? For a mobile game it's kind of a time waste to set everything up for left hand side and then having to do it all again for the right. Btw when talking corners – I've set a guy to come short but he doesn't do that. Ever. Edited November 25, 2020 by Footix 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what you mean by 'difficulty' - the match engine is the same for any team which plays and it doesn't know any difference between the team teams performing (ie. its not biased towards a particular side, human or otherwise). In real-life the fixture list is packed and thus hard on players this season. PS - The game has had very minor tuning for injuries in top-end competitions (ie. Premiership) where they were very slightly too light in the previous edition, but outside of that very little has changed apart from the new tactical stuff which again is 'performance neutral' (ie. depends on what is done with it).

Agree with this one - although I do love the fact that now I can pick different players for shooting vs crossing set-pieces there are some areas where I would pick the same guys and it would be good to "copy/paste" it.

Thanks Marc, makes sense. Hadn’t considered the congestion side of things appearing in the game as I assumed it would be set out like FM20, but on reflexion ...if the game is mirroring real life, would make complete sense. Ps. Absolutely loving the injury prevalence now, thank you so much for tweaking this Marc the game has just tripled in fun 😀👍🏼 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pratex Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 We need more respect put on Goalkeepers in this game. We need their amount of saves and save% recorded because tbh they don’t get nearly enough justice. They can make 5 saves get up to 9 rating in the first 20 minutes but by the end of the game it goes back down to 7 despite not conceding... it makes no sense. I have enjoyed the improvements made but I still feel you can fix the stutter and lag. Would be nice if OLD players would receive loan offers and they could be accepted. Would also be nice if we could edit set piece and penalty taking attributes 👌 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
