Essentially on super high-resolution systems the game will upscale so not to place huge demands on systems and potentially cause fps drops/lag etc. May be worth removing your cache/preferences and trying again, as it shouldn't be blurry at high settings - https://support.sega.co.uk/hc/en-gb/articles/360015199257-How-to-Delete-my-Preferences-and-or-Caches-Folder Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

barbecuepit Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) Really glad that the player ratings bug has been fixed! Kudos to SI for their prompt action in doing so. But one thing that makes me really disappointed is the match engine. I would like to praise SI for making it way better than last year's, great striker movement, perfectly measured through balls to play them in, culminating in composed 1 on 1 finishing was a dream and all of these were lacking in last years edition. However, since the patch, this seems to have dissolved. This is most stark in the below 2 situations: 1. Prior to the patch, when the opponents have a deep defence line and the strikers are in line with them (to avoid being caught offside), through balls are played through the defence line for the strikers to run onto and finish. 2. On counter attacks, the striker would make a clever diagonal run to allow the advancing midfield to play the through ball and then execute the finish. Since the previous patch, this has disappeared and strikers have reverted to their immobile self. In scenario 1, the current lack of movement would lead to the ball being played wide and result in crosses being blocked. And just to add on, it seems like the ability of forwards to lose the defender seems to be severely nerfed too, as shots are blocked so often nowadays as marking seems so tight. Sigh, looks like the previous match engine was just a dream... Edited January 8, 2021 by barbecuepit 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst key tackles are one of numerous factors used to calculate player ratings, this response seems to indicate that they are not being registered. Whilst being excluded from the analysis may not have a "noticeable detrimental effect" to overall ratings its inclusion, when the issue is fixed, can only help to improve ratings.
