Haven't had news that I achieved promotion nor the steam acomplishment of promotion.

Popular Post Platinum Posted January 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 9, 2021 (edited) Im struggling to see how I can play this game as stats based manager, where all my decisions are heavily based on statistics. I say this because the key tackles, key passes, clear cut chances stats are not being counted properly so I cant accurately identify issues in my tactics & players and also leagues that aren't in full detail (leagues you aren't managing in) have values on a completely different scale for basically every stat compared to the league you manage in; which means you cant compare transfer targets to your own players Im wondering how any other data driven managers cope with this?

It’s ironic that we got XG but they made a mess of so many of the other stats. I’m literally choosing to ignore them in my current save. I waited till the 2nd patch to start my first real save game. I should know better. I’d be grateful if someone from SI could help us understand why elements of the game that work occasionally go backwards. Often glaringly obvious errors too which compounds the frustration. It’s like you can literally never take anything that works for granted.

Popular Post KeegBCFC Posted January 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 9, 2021 Anyone else finding throw-ins absolutely terrible this year? Players throwing it 4 yards to the oppositions feet, even if you have long throw in routines set. Just had a player in the 87th minute, by our own corner flag, throw it to their winger who was a good 5 yards away from the player the ball should've been thrown to, he whips it in and we end up dropping two points. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domestic teams can not approach to players until a month before under Bosman rule. That is not about national legislation or league rules and it applies to countries outside the EU like Turkey, Russia etc. Here is the link. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11096/10100134/how-the-bosman-rule-changed-football-20-years-on Edited January 10, 2021 by CM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I believe the 6-month contract expiry rule is baked-in to the Bosman law. Hence, since the UK is now solo, clubs in the EU (or elsewhere) cannot approach impending out of contracts players based there. I might be wrong though, it could be a FIFA rule that permits that any player worldwide with an expiring contract can be approach with 6 month or less. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExeChris Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Got this just before Christmas after playing the demo and some thoughts as they come to me. I started off unemployed with semi pro background and just English leagues loaded; waited to get an offer for interview for Vanarama N or S but was surprised to get suggestions of L1 or L2 to apply for straight away. In the end applied for and got the Aldershot job in VNL in Dec 2020. They were 19th and had been horrific, but I (suspiciously) quickly got them winning and finished 4th in the league. I lost in the play offs after an undefeated run of 23 games, all this without changing any personnel from the original struggling side. Second season I got a couple of loans in and maybe 5 new players and won the league easily. Changed my tactic slightly half way through the season and stormed it by about 15 points. Now it's Dec 22 and I'm top of L2 again after hardly getting anyone in (predicted 23rd). I've never been this successful in previous versions unless I've had a clearly superior side to 90% of the rest of the league, which isn't the case here. I love the new ME; some of the goals I am seeing are superb, with great through balls and excellent off the ball runs and even the occasional square ball from the byline. Some of the different stuff I see is brilliant including a free kick that hit both posts and stayed out (against me!) in the last game. I do play quite a strong pressing system but nowhere near the maximum it could be and I'm pleased to see that my players are very tired come the end of the game. On a side-note, I played L2 in the demo and was really pleased to have 5 subs, but now in the 22/23 season it's only 3 again - I assume it's reverted due to no in game Covid any more? As many others have said, the UI is weird, with unintuitive clicks and stats and things not where they used to be. Or anywhere in some cases. Throw ins by the corner flag that go straight back to the thrower who is immediately offside are still considered highlights. I average 15+ corners a game. The opposition often get a very high amount as well. Headers often go miles over the bar. The posts seem to be more reasonable with regards to the ball bouncing off them; in FM20 a 25 yard shot would bounce off about 2 yards. The net still does the weird 'billowing' when the ball trickles into it but that's neither here nor there. All in all I really like it - maybe it's because I'm finding it very easy but that's how it is. It's nowhere near perfect and when my tactic starts going wonky or I lose another game after being 4-1 at HT like I did this morning (!) then I might change my mind, but as of now it gets the thumbs up from me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVP32 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 (edited) Could just be a solely me problem, but is there anyone else who gets laughable offers for their players? Before you could manage to at least get at least the player value out of it by negotiating, now the best clubs want to go is up until half the player's worth. Meanwhile, the AI negotiates you to a ridiculous price for their own players, whether they are transfer listed or not. Starts to become a bit of an annoyance. It's also crazy how the ME shines when playing teams that play in countries/competitions you haven't loaded in. For once, the AI doesn't play with 11 men in their own penalty box and blocks every shot and it's absolutely breathtaking to witness for a change.

There might be some truth in this. I’d argue that players get into positions to cross far too readily, mainly due to the prevalence of unopposed 50 yard flank dribbles. Far too often, corners are cleared upfield into giant open spaces. These are picked up all too often by a lone forward who are given all the time in the world to turn and dribble insane distances. It’s starting to get rather tedious. Fortunately, the ME has enough positives elsewhere for me to still be really enjoying it.

I don't agree with those who says that the game is easy Managing in the lower leagues is much harder due to budgets, lack of available players and players unable to work in a lot of plug and play tactics as they lack the tactical skills to do so.

I first drew a line from the corner arc to 10yds marker. Then I have duplicated that layer and it can fit the distance between his foot and the arc perfectly. If the rule is - "player can be / must be 10yds away from any point of the arc" then he is 10yds away from the arc on your screenshot.
