The problem with this bug is not just the "numbers", but what is happening in the game for them to be excessively high. The game almost doesn't exist in midfield or close to the box because players tend to throw balls at players' heads even from short distances. In addition to significantly affecting the rate of players. Fm23 has many positive aspects when it comes to animation. However, those aspects of the game that go against the decision-making of the players are negatively affecting my experience. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really appreciate response like this , I get that it’s a balancing act but have you never thought that maybe it’s about time to build a new match engine from the ground up ? So that adjustments could be made easier by your team and so that it doesn’t upset the balance of other parts of the Match engine by making changes? I would imagine its hard to make adjustments now since it’s practically the same 3d match engine from FM 2009 with additional code/features every year added to it , that has made it very difficult for you guys to make the changes needed to improve the game? P.S please fix the overly diva players , id imagine Arsenal would be tough to manage now with all the recent signings bound to have cry babies not starting 10 out of 10 games.

blejdek Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I dont like to complain too much about fm, it gives me a lot of joy, regardles of bugs and glitches here and there, BUT ! What really annoys me is that every free kick from the line from penalty box is a clear goal, I've experienced it like literally every match. As soon as I see free kick from line on penalty box, I know its goal, every frickin time. Anyone else experiencing the same ? Is it possibly a bug or something ? I can also upload the save and tell you the matches and goals i'm reffering too.

Since some of the bugs have now existed in consecutive editions of the games. What you’re practically saying at this point is that the bugs can’t be fixed because it will break the rest of the game , accept it. Which is lazy excuse.

Yeah, and also, if the match engine really has millions of lines of code, then it's pretty much unmaintainable at this point, and it's no wonder it takes ages for them for the simplest tweaks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if you have some tools designed inside the team, but I think some kind of sandbox where you can artificially place players on the pitch, place the ball where you want, fire up the debugger and just watch and see why a player chooses to give the ball to the head of another player... This way you won't need pkms you could recreate any scenario on the pitch. And ability to rewind and start the play again and again.

P.S please fix the overly diva players , id imagine Arsenal would be tough to manage now with all the recent signings bound to have cry babies not starting 10 out of 10 games. It's a question that gets asked fairly often but it really doesn't solve any problems. The Match Engine has been constantly iterated, improved and refactored over the course of many years. Every year we spend time refactoring older parts of code in the engine anyway, and starting from scratch doesn't really help to make balancing much easier than it is now. The reason why balancing the ME takes so much time and effort is more to do with the complexity of the simulation we're working on, rather than a sign of the engine itself 'aging'. Looking at headers here - as someone said earlier, it's not really just a question of changing some numbers since the numbers are reflective of the AI decisions playing out in a certain way. To begin with, we'd have to do a comprehensive analysis of where headers are coming from in engine vs real life, and then make targeted improvements to off the ball movement, passing decisions, risk assessment. All of these areas of course having their own knock-on effects in a fairly major way that need to be thoroughly tested and balanced themselves. e.g. if you make changes to how players move/show for the ball, then that has drastic implications on how passing in general plays out, since every pass needs a receiver moving for the ball. Then you have to factor in all of the team instructions, player attributes etc. all needing to have the right effect in these situations at all the different levels as well. Then there's the small matter of making sure any new logic we add to the AI isn't slowing down the processing of the engine too much, since the game needs to be able to play hundreds, if not thousands of matches over the course of a career save. Think about how fundamental passing and movement is to football - changing that can have huge implications on how the entire match plays out and feels as a whole! We have to be careful and assess knock-ons, and fix bugs that come up as a result of any changes we make (fixes that also have their own knock-ons themselves). This is what Neil means when he says that we have to be careful of not throwing out the overall balance of the engine when fixing certain issues. Complexity is the reason why some issues take a long time to solve, but we don't want to make the engine more simplistic or 'dumbed down' to make our balancing work easier either. We're constantly working on our working processes to make sure we're able to react to issues better and faster. We understand it can be frustrating at times, but believe me, it's not through a lack of effort, the team works so hard all year to make the engine as good as it can be and we're more critical than everyone of our work behind closed doors. But we do think we can do a better job of communicating how we work, which we're trying to do more and more and hopefully helps you to understand a bit more about how the engine works and what we do. 25 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point still stands. Yes, I thought FM22's was the best in a while. 23's is a step back from that, but that doesn't mean the overall trajectory from 2018-2023 isn't positive. My criticisms of 23, and there are many, and my criticisms of 22, and there were many, are and were primarily focused on the bits of the game outside the match engine, which in many cases have either not improved when improvement was needed or have gotten worse. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injuries seem very low. Having injury crisis and having to name a 17 year old academy product in your side is part and parcel of the fun. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see how the ME has evolved, although it's a shame that other parts of the game have regressed. Last time I played this game was late December, which shows how little I enjoy it right now. Hopefully the next update makes this game more enjoyable, but I can only see myself buying FM24 if they add the women's game/actually add some features of value. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt the "million lines of code" is true at all, but lets just pretend that it is, then this just means that the code is very outdated and at this point completely unmanagable. Large updates are going to be impossible because of this messy spaghetti and because of the use of outdated practices. At some point an old engine is pushed to its limits and needs a completely new modernized version. It's no secret that FM is already behind several years on modern game standards (graphics, ME, lack of proper multithreading..). The question is at what point is this going to be updated to post 2020 standards, rather than mid 2000s. I think something like this should've gotten priority over adding and scouting women leagues which frankly the vast majority of players will never care about. Just like the "new features" this year. Android has 12-15 million lines of code depending on your build. Facebook had ~60 million lines of code if you don't include the backend. Your average modern car has about 10 million lines of code total in all devices, but as vehicles get more wired, this will go up. Chrome has 6.7 million lines of code. Now, if you want to argue as to whether or not Chrome uses all those lines of code when you have it open, then that's a valid argument. I would bet if the ME was about 3 million lines of code, it isn't using all of them either, for a variety of reasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post cherryman71 Posted February 2, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 2, 2023 FM23 will always be remembered for the year we got some amazing new worthwhile features, the match engine significantly improved, the graphics got better and the regen pictures didn't look like they had been drawn by an 8 year old..........what an all in all great upgrade from last years version.........said no one ever 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptCanuck Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 (edited) No one ever here - I am enjoying the FM23 ME. Never got on with FM22 and had been playing FM21 until the Christmas week. Happy I have switched to FM23. Ofc it still has bugs and dumb behaviour and interactions, and the mono-brows, but for me it's a definite improvement over the previous iterations.
