In previous FM's there was limit of upgradeing capacity of 2 times Don't think it is, I'm building my 2nd stadium in 6 years, so if there were any hard coded things earlier, I assume it's been loosened up.

LucasBR Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Is there any kind of guide for shouts this year? It's really annoying seeing my players reacting badly whenever I say something. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVP32 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I've been keeping watch of the thread before and seeing all the praise for the match engine gave me good hopes, especially after the pure frustration that last year's one was. Got the game for christmas and finally got a shot at it and I must say I'm disappointed. Finishing has luckily been fixed. Various kinds of finishing and intelligent finishing. Strikers slightly chipping it over the goalkeepers legs to hit the net or someone shoving it in with the heel. Amazing. Good job here. But then the other issues still exist. Fullbacks still run up to the backline before shooting it into someone's legs, strikers, when at the backline, don't cut back and pass it or play it across the box for someone else to tap it in, but they dribble inside the area to shoot at the goalie from weird angles and there is still an unholy amount of opposition players blocking shots in the opponent's box even at shots that should pretty much be unable to be blocked. Wingers that head the ball coming from a cross still had it onto the post or crossbar instead of properly heading it in. I've also seen a lot more through balls this year, but only a handful. Most come from deep to put it in behind the defense, so you're forced to play a counter-based tactic to get profit off of it. Bit of a shame because before there were apparently a lot more through balls around the penalty boxes too. The new features are... useless fluff. It doesn't look nice and it's useless. Not sure what is up with shouts either. Last year there were a couple of shouts that worked well, but now whatever shout you pick players always react badly. Boxes/options that pop up during the match disappear too fast so you can never click them if you wanted to make use of them. Oh, and before I forget. Penalties. I have no idea what's up with them but thus far I've seen 8 penalties and only 2(!) got scored. My striker with 17 penalties, 16 finishing and 16 composure missed 4 penalties out of 5, the penalty taker after him also missed half of what he took and my opponents also constantly miss their penalties. Might as well put my goalkeeper on them. All in all, while I do enjoy the gameplay more purely because finishing isn't as ****ed anymore, but everything else is just a reskin. Bit of a shame to see after I saw so much praise before. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overmars Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I reverted back to FM20 and really appreciated the matchday interface, team talk interface, press conference interface, and easy access to in-game stats. The FM20 match engine has too many shots, throw-ins, and crosses, but the FM21 is far from perfect itself (too many balls over the top, too many corners). Objectively, I think FM20 is the better game for now because it doesn't have as many player ratings issues, doesn't have silly player position/role promises, and has a more enjoyable match day experience. I do miss xG, though. For FM22, I hope the interface improves or I'm not going to buy it. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 The name of the latest opposition goal scorer getting stuck on the screen is building up to become one of the most infurating bugs I have ever encountererd in FM (albeit I have been spared most of the most vicious bugs over the years). It just hangs there to taunt you, every single time, It will probably give me an aneuyrism one of these days.

Domoboy23 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) Honestly, everythings just the same since the update. Wingers tucked into the box, not taking people on, ping pong passing outside the box, wide balls to the edges and crosses blocked into the box and when they do get in there 9/10 shots blocked. Players shooting in weird animation ways which wasn't the case before the last update. No cutting through balls or slow patient build up outside the box. Just frantic ping pong resulting in blocked shots. No strikers taking people in just being stationary, no movement for crosses, ball always going behind or to them and shooting very oddly. Not running onto anything of whipped balls into the box. And I'm 8th! It feels like I'm watching the same game again and again. The higher the level you play at the more ridiculous it is. A non league game actually seems semi-realistic. League football and elite level?

Ronaldo Beckham Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Why have Sega/Sigames decided to add this stupid thing where it tells you to change someone's squad status and everytime you do it just upsets/angers your player and ruins morale. Why add a feature just for the sake of it to make it look like a new game. Can you please not have this in FM2022. If you aint got many new features then don't bring out a game every year.

TIR669 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Where is the match "film" or highlights bar from the top gone? How can I quickly watch a specific event during a match, i.e. a clear cut chance that I know happened in e.g. the 25th minute? Counter-intuitive match UI in which I cant simply drag two positions in the default match screen to switch players, but rather need to enter the tactics menu to do that. The removal of heat map and analysis menus during the match (especially heat map) and enabling them only at HT and FT is also an abysmal decision. While we need a balance between realism and simulation, removing the heat map will hurt everyone that doesn't watch all matches in full. I must know that the opposition is playing narrow/their LB is more attacking/whatever without a need to look at all the highlights. Fullback (and other position) ratings are also off, I read FBs are due to game not registering all events/mistakes/passes/stats like last year. I'm impressed this got broken by the latest patch and curious what the QA folks at SI have been doing after the internal release. Surely this couldn't have gone unnoticed. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIR669 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Also, why can't I watch this highlight at half time? Why is it showing on hover but is greyed out? From this menu at HT, HOW can I go back and rewatch something that happened in minute X? I can do it from the teams menu when I search for shots, although I don't see xG there for instance, but let's say that's fine for now. If I can watch from there, why is it greyed out here? Seems like a bug so I'd like a confirmation. Or was this removed as well for the same "realism" reason? In that case it shouldn't be available in the teams menu if it's not in the summary menu.
