Chief232 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 The pressing forward role needs to go IMO. Pressing from the front line is such an important thing in the modern game, we shouldn't have to use a specific role to get it to feel consistent. In my experience no other striker role is as effective defensively as a Defensive Forward on support, regardless of instructions. Can't comment on the defend duty though, never used it. On an attack duty does it really do anything all that different from an advanced forward? Perhaps they are involved a little more, but like any other attack duty striker, they generally stick to the half way line pinned to the center backs. There's a good opportunity there to replace it with the default role that a number of people have wanted over the years, call it the Center Forward or Central Forward or whatever. Keep "Gets Further Forward" locked on the attack duty if you must(please no "Move Into Channels"!), support duty with no instructions, and a defensive duty with "Hold Position". As long as the other forward roles can press well there's no real loss for me. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overmars Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 On 08/03/2021 at 09:28, Zoolok42 said: Why is the youth intake preview so cryptic? Why can't it just state we have these players coming soon, and that's it? What is even the point of it, anyway? Like, it says "We have two good forwards coming through", and then in the next line "We have one good Norwegian striker who has caught the eye". Is that Norwegian guy included in the two forwards? Why is it so vague? Yeah, it's hilariously specific while still being vague enough to omit names. I like it because it's so ridiculous and yet does exactly what it's intended to do: Make me excited about the fact that we're getting new players. Also, every time they tell me it's a Golden generation I get a good laugh. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KeegBCFC Posted March 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2021 My favourite thing about this FM is watching my fullback take a throw in to their winger with none of my players within 10 yards of him, for that winger to then run the length of the pitch and square it across the box for a last min winner for the other side. Wouldn't mind if it was a one off, but these throw-ins happen 10 times a game and result in a goal like this every now and then. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would really like - genuinely like, not taking the **** - to have an option to throw attacking zone throw ins out for a goal kick for the opposition. That would genuinely lead to better results for my team. Maybe you can do it but I haven't looked hard enough. I'd also like to take short corners all day long the last 15 mins of a match when winning, to stop the 4 on 2 counters the opposition has off of them, regardless of how defensive I set them up.

Abysmal Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I've complained about it since early december but average ratings are still my absolute enemy this year. Despite two patches and 3+ months they still seem off to me. My central midfielders can hardly sustain a decent average rating and often drop below 6.5 even in games they win. I found the more direct and quick I pay, the more the ratings go down. This in turn has affected my player value and transfer interest. In previous years, I've never struggled to sell players and managed to play in an almost moneyball style. Signing players on the cheap, developing them and selling them on for profit but this year I just cant seem to sell my players for a good amount. Even after impressive individual and team performances, my players never seem to attract interest which I cant help but think is to do with the average rating. We've been told that an above average rating is 6.8 so why cant the game reflect this better? Make it so as soon as players average 6.8 or above the indicator turns green like it does at the moment when it is above 7. Whilst only a small, visual element it would help identify quicker when players are performing above average. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Came back to this game after being completely bored with ebery AI side defaulting to 3-4-3 with a central front three as soon as they went behind, a system that is unbeatable with the ME flaws. First 5 games back and every single match has gone to the tune of me taking the lead, opponents going with a central front 3, and them coming back to win as no matter what I do, they always have an overload by simply thumping the ball long and I'm outnumbered somehow. Even when I camped 5 defenders at the back and put everything to park the bus, they simply had to knock the ball over my defence to score. So, so, boring. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flat 5-4-1 is just a more conservative version (in theory anyway) of your 433DM. As long as you commit a third defender (your DM/my Libero) to their strikers, you're good. I'd never in a million years play a 4-2-3-1 against a 4-4-2, for instance. I imagine some sort of messed up wide 5-2-3 with WBs and attacking wingers could work too, if you're into that sort of thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are still having trouble against these AI changes, then I suggest you to review your game management and your tactics. Very often I do not need to change anything at all when my tactics are solid enough. And narrow formations like this are incredibly easy to counter in FM. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fidelitywars Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Barely played since the patch but early indications are that the ME has slid backwards into the tedious and frustrating territory of the previous couple of editions. Finishing seems dreadful again and a staggering amount of my goals now come from set-pieces or long-shots - is this the experience of others? I just seem to score the same boring goals over and over and over and over again. Also seems that every club's set-piece taker is by miles their best and highest rated player; nobody else seems to do much. Early days so will keep going and hope this is just some bizarre early season quirk but struggling with any level of immersion as things are. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
