nox Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Has been used so many people's tactics and still only can able score so little goals. What is Sports Interactive doing, I think they are making Arsenal so good because in my game there are so difficult to beat. In someway I think the match engine make few games very unfair, as I have so many shots and attack but cant score a single goals but somehow computer will score easily in just few attack.

powellydude1 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 i've been having the same problems! hopefully it'll get easier once i've got a settled formation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porchaw Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I gotta agree. It's so depressing. My team got so many chance, so many one-on-one with GK but the players always shoot the bird! I have players with pretty good Finishing level but still crap. what **** me off is that then my opponent only need one chance to score....when I need over 10 chances to get a goal. my players won't just tackle but my opponents can tackle everything my players do long shot all the time even I instruct them not to do so. something is clearly wrong with match engine....it happened with 2007, 2008, and here we go again...... I hope there will be new patch released soon... as I might stop playing until it's sorted Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playerbrooker Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I rarely have 0-0 draws or fail to score in a match. Try and make your own tactics to adapt to your players and strikers rather than using other peoples. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brid gooner@aol.com Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 do all the people who moan about how "rubbish" the game is give a tactic chance to work.ok im playing as arsenal finished runners losing by 1 point in 1st season (drew to many games due to swapping tactics early in the season) then decided to stick with 1....lost carling cup on pens to chavski....knocked out of champions league to barca but finally got a trophy winning the F.A cup season 2 stayed with the same tactic....players have gelled as a unit forwards are scoring for fun..prem league,played 17 won 14 drawn 3 goals for 52 conceeded 6,championd league won all group matches (juventus osasuna and sparta prague in my group scoring 23 conceeding 2) and im in the semis of the carling cup using reserves and youth. so what i am getting at is (and i didnt think it was true)players need to get used to a tactic , system and team mates Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmcrusher Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 The only problem ive encountered is the forwards always shooting from long range, my 2 forwards do this because they are recieving the ball too deep, and neither are very adept at going round players, coupled with the problem that my wingers/atm were not running past them to give them an option..they had no choice but to turn as best they can and then let fly from long range.

Snoop Robbie Rob Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Arsenal players win every continental and global individual award on my game, they always get to the CL final and they've won the prem 3 out of 4 times.

GioGio85 Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Im really enjoying it, its slightlu harder (although I may just be adapting) but I am really enjoying the game.

ACMilanBRA Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I won arsenal and barcelona in uefa champions league already, and it wasnt that hard, im using milan, but i still have to beat fiorentina to the italian cup, which i lost to them 3 seasons already, i just cant win them at that competition, but i dont think the game is bad neverthless.

Bridger Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Yes it is the most difficult FM yet and i can understand why a lot of people arent enjoying it, however i think it is the best yet!!!! and ive been playing the game since the original Amiga version, these are my reasons ...... The game is now killer tactic free which makes the game a much more rewarding challenge, one tactic will not win anything, you now have to change and tweak your tactics for every single match and in game according to your own player abilities/opposition/pitch size/weather/scout reports/team talks etc.......yes i am a saddo!, and i watch every game for 90 mins and take ages setting everything up and managing my club....but thats how i like it, there is nothing more rewarding than winning when your plan comes together. Now for people who just loaded a killer tactic and won everything without any effort i can understand why this game is frustrating, but for sad B**stards like me who sacrifice relationships/social life etc to be a virtual football manger it is the best version so far.

the blue ferret Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 It is the best version of FM/CM yet, and by a country mile. It took me 5 years to get Leicester into the prem. I had all the same problems that keep getting mentioned. You will crack it eventually. My major tip is opposition instructions. I set Opp intstructions for GK, 1 cb, all across the midfield and both strikers. It helps massively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
biffa00 Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Has anybody actually had a player on his team obey a command yet ?? Close down a winger, tackle hard a winger and then just watch the winger dance his way to the byline to put a cross in, I can't even get my fullbacks booked for a bad tackle, let alone a good one.

PhroX Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Personally, I'm loving it. Yes, it's damn hard, but that's what makes it so great. There are times when I hate the game. When nothing goes right and I'm screaming abuse at my computer. There are times when I can't get a working tactic, times when my players ignore me, times when I swear I'm never going to touch the game again. But half-an-hour later, I'm back. Why? Because when it does all click, when you finally succeed (whatever success is for your club), the feeling is unbeatable, and unquestionably worth the effort. Though Arsenal probably are too powerful in the game. SI are looking into it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mancity12 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Im going back to FM08 until YET ANOTHER PATCH is released. We ARE beta-testers. Its rediculous spending hours tweaking a tactic to be exactly as you want to then lose games by freak ME-mess-up goals. FM08 for me until either a proper patch or CM09 (April).

In someway I think the match engine make few games very unfair, as I have so many shots and attack but cant score a single goals but somehow computer will score easily in just few attack. I am baffled not by how SI made Arsenal strong, maybe its just you not doing enough to overcome it. Beat them home and away if you are capable, then you see if its SI making Arsenal strong or YOU making Arsenal strong. Whining won't solve problems. But i'm more baffled by why SI gave Alvaro Arbeloa positioning rating of 17, better than Nemanja Vidic. LOL. I think they should watch more Liverpool matches and they'd know how bad is Arbeloa's positioning. I have Liverpool fan friends who can't stand his positioning sense or the lack of it. Besides, appearing at the left flank when opponents score against Liverpool on the Liverpool's right rear flank does not prove that Arbeloa does have any positional sense at all. Lol. FM is the best managerial game I've played. The effort at realism is commendable. So, such rubbish remark is hardly going to change any fact. Dude, maybe FM 09 is not rubbish game, its you who are the rubbish manager. Don't play if you don't like it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
