Usually they ask stupid questions and stuff about other clubs. The only time I attend to one is when I see they'll ask about another club interest in one of my players (another stupid thing, the ass-man will always say the player is available) and before big matches. I can understand that, after a while you just go through the motions and click your way through conferences. Still, I attend them since I try to have a high realism gameplay and conferences are (unfortunately) a part of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to attend all of them just because it brings more reality to the game, but is quite often frustrating to see the questions don't make sense at all.

fc.cadoni Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Press Conferences can help you maintain good morale in your squad - and good morale effects results; plus help you to improve your attributes and relationships with agents, journalists and your personality. Few years ago, I was negative in my most answers which was effect my personality and had problems to control my players. Before you go to delegate something or not answering or answering in negative way, make sure that effect other things in your attributes. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunmaN1905 Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 When will player interaction and selling players stop being an absolute joke? I transfer list a player who doesn't want to leave, several teams make the offer, he rejects everyone. And that keeps going on for a month. I remove him from the transfer list and right after that he's unhappy because I treated him unfairly and hands in transfer request. Same price, I accept. But now not a single team is willing to make an offer, even when I lower the price significantly. When I ask him to try and find a new club, he says he has no intention of leaving. But he handed the transfer request himself. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played against Dortmund who were in a 4312 & so I told Raya to distribute to the full backs, but he still hoofed it clear despite them being free.

isignedupfornorealreason Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Finding more and more bugs. Unhappy player - wants to leave, sod him. Two of his teammates AGN him, both in support of me. But the advisory "Team Meetings" are proposed to deal with these team-mates as they're unhappy with my treatment of him. Which is it? Recruitment meeting - Lots of reports if I leave it alone. If I edit any of it, no reports whatsoever - I clicked 'full back - right' and got no suggestions, but when we moved to any other matters I got six RB reports to sift through? Also recruitment meeting agenda wants to talk about #male#1 instead of the proper name. Disappointing to see these bugs cropping up alongside the competition and vision bug that I identified earlier. =/ 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there some issues with GK throw - kick the ball long; instead of short (say to wing-back). 2. Pass Into Space doesn't help to decrease this. 3. Play Out of Defense decrease the passing range of defenders, nothing to do with GK (which has he's own Out of Possession Instructions). 4. SK is a role for counter-attacking style of football > which translate to longer pass > following Counter-Attack TI for example. In order to minimize GK being hoof the ball: SK De (Pass It Shorter, Take Fewer Risks as PI). Distribute to Full-Backs (or specific player > full back for example) and Roll It Out.

TheVerySpecialOne Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Yeah, I'm enjoying the game, and I see that the youth development has been slightly revamped and it's more realistic now, I don't know why they didn't highlight that as one of the features, that's major. I wouldn't say ME is worse, the possesion bug is the only big thing that bothers me in some way, as it really doesn't represent what it should, but other than that, yeah, in some ways it's maybe worse than FM 21, but in some ways it's better.

Os Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 It is really frustrating when you are chasing a goal and you can't get your team to press, on the whole the ME is pretty good but I play the game on 90 minutes full highlights and this issue which was a flagship ME feature by the way needs fixing ASAP.

Popular Post RPM_01 Posted November 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 15, 2021 So I've played a few seasons now. Few points I've noticed (some are spoken about in here and I know are being looked at) - Pressing of the defence is a known issue but the ME needs to fix the ambition of the defenders. Very rarely in football do we see the passing between defenders so much as it makes no logical sense and isn't within the spirit of the game. Interestingly the press also ask about this, e.g. you managed to win comfortably 4-0 with only 37% possession?! My question will be how much does this affect the ME when this changes? Do teams become more aggressive and open up more? Or do they create more chances then they do currently? The Data Hub is a good addition but with the bugs how usable is it? Winning back possession makes no sense, pass maps are more irrelevant from the point above and other stats are masked with the current issues. It can be used still but not to the extent SI want it to be. Team shape feels a little strange and took me a minute to get used to. In possession I'm seeing a more compact shape and without the use of a poacher or advanced forward everything feels too squashed, even if you put an IF-A or RMD on the wing it just doesn't open up the play enough. The trouble I'm finding too is that my CB's are more adventurous too going forward and the team shape just compresses even more. I don't really have much of a choice but to go for a poacher up top to spread the field to what I like, which gives more space for everyone else. Crosses are almost to the level of FM20 but there is a small amount of central play in there. I feel like only a small tweak is needed for this to find its balance again. Corners have been an issue for a while and if you want to abuse this your defender will score 20+ goals a season, however it can be avoided if you feel like you lose the immersion with this. VAR decisions need to have less tells. Linesman running back = goal, standing still means no goal. Can we have it so we won't know? NewGen faces, say no more. I like the new animations, even though I mainly use 2D, it's nice to see when I do flick over to it. I struggled to get into FM22 but now have found my groove and am enjoying it more despite the bugs. I think there is potential, with bug fixes, to be the best yet. 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
