Domoboy23 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 The amount of shots blocked by defenders in the latest update compared to the previous ME is absurd. Think 1 in 10 shots from my striker get away without a block... also not seeing early penetrative through balls anymore. IE striker on the shoulder being played through, and him carrying the ball one on one with the keeper for 20-30 yards before getting into the box. All through balls now seem to be very deep inside the opposition half coming from around 30 yards out to a striker inside the box already? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the update I would get through balls through the middle, now they need to be from the middle to the wings or from the touchline to the wings. If you play a front 3 and have a centre forward with good passing and vision and IFs/IWs with good anticipation you can get some throughballs from in to out. Of course YMMV.

Totally agree and see it as well. It is like the logic makes them return to their regular defensive position and only after doing that can they engage the attacker. Not only the turnstile defense, of letting the attacker pass before chasing, but I also see the defenders take brutal angles that are running towards neither a lose ball or an attacker already in possession, but running along some unseen vertices to an unseen target/destination. I haven't figured out anyway to mitigate this behaviour. Worse is when you are winning late in the match and the opposition puts 3 players on the centre line and you end up with a huge odd man rush. Regardless of how many players you set defending in your set piece, not enough return back to cover them. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In non-league I was seeing plenty of through balls over the top and the striker would beat the defender for pace and get it around 30/40 yards from goal and go one on one... not seen any since.

I think this central Def decision to retreat closes the chance to pass for the other st. But in doing so it gives time for attacker to gather speed. The slow walking and jogging speeds defenders use can't react fast enough for these runs. Also the other st might had opposition instruction press/mark allways. These situations make think twice setting them for players. But if thought only how football is presented maybe a hintch more I would have liked other defender go for dribbler and he try a thought pass for the st.

Dronx Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Nothing new but I’m getting a bit annoyed by the runs of form that seem to go from one extreme to the other, I’ve played about 5 seasons now on 2 different saves and they always seem to go on winning/unbeaten runs for 7/8 games then go 7/or 8 without winning. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
albanie. Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) After growing increasingly frustrated at the quality of the game ever since the release of the beta, I'm not too far away from uninstalling the game until a third major patch is released. This must be the poorest quality Football Manager released in a very long time. I'm surprised a beta was even released because the level of bugs even after two major patches is staggering. Instead of ironing out bugs, new ones are being introduced! I'd be very intrigued to see what stats SI have relating to bugs and how FM21 matches up to previous versions. I can only assume that the poor quality of the finished product is driven by challenges from COVID-19/home working. But, if the world is not back to normal soon enough and SI continue to be entirely home working, then please reduce the number of new feature sets and focus upon releasing a game that is retail-ready without the need for three major patches.

Thalo Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 (edited) After purchasing the game in beta, seeing it go live with major bugs, which were in my opinion game breaking, regarding the match analysis/statistics, I applied for a refund via paypal, and after not hearing from the vendor, paypal ruled in my favour. As a precedent has been set here in Australia for games releasing bugged and in game breaking states requiring refunds under our consumer protection laws, this may not apply to anyone, but thought I would provide my feedback here, as I think it is an indictment of the state of the game for paypal to rule in my favour that the product that was sold to me was not as described, and something SI should consider going forward. Edit: Should mention the bug I posted with multiple pkms about said statistic/analysis bugs, was on November 30th, and I still haven't received a SI reply.

Popular Post Abysmal Posted December 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 29, 2020 Im hoping there is a fix for the average ratings issue ASAP, quickly making the game far too unplayable for me. Central midfielders and fullbacks consistently getting 6.5 and under despite winning games by 3/4 goals and having only lost 2 games so far in January just doesnt seem to make any sense. This has only become an issue since the latest patch, before that the average ratings were fine and suddenly they just seem so off. Its a major aspect of gameplay seen as it effects player value, development, media and board confidence. Winning 10 games in a row only to be criticised by the media and board because of a player with 6 assists in 12 games has an average rating of 6.6 doesnt quite seem fair to me. Bar that the game is brilliant for me, just wish there was some sort of acknowledgment by SI in regards to the average rating issue seen as im seeing it reported more and more. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
