I can't say I've done any testing of this, but I have noticed that in the few games I've tried low crosses (which I should be using as my striker is crap in the air but has good anticipation and decent acceleration) I get absolute no joy from it - my striker seems to get even fewer chances than usual.

And you had some replies. But without knowing your system it's impossible to give you any specific suggestions. As an example of a playmaker at AMC rather than a "goal getter", my Enganche finished his latest match heavily involved with play, completing 47 passes (by comparison my highest passer completed 54) with 5 key passes recorded (my striker got the PoM award).
Alternatively I have a different 4231 system using a F9/F10 combination which is every bit as nice. I'll post them below for examples, just don't go copying them as that doesn't always work out well, plus these are just starting points and I tend to make adjustments through a match (I may also start with a different Mentality and/or TIs).
Yes I had some replies which mainly denied it was a bug and to come here, sorry I don't know what your point is?
As for your Enganche, I'd be far more interested in his assists, goals and rating for the season, rather than a one off game. I remember playing FM16 (last edition I had) and Firmino getting an 8 average rating and racking up assists in the AM role - I'm not saying such a thing is impossible in this year's ME, but I've not seen any evidence yet. I have seen plenty of reasons to doubt it though (namely that defenders are far worse at stopping balls than have flown 60yards than those that have travelled 10).0 -
I find that its not even just that good attacking teams have loads of chances without scoring, its also that poor defensive teams you come up against have a big advantage because goals when they do come either arrive from a set piece or a long ball over the top, both of which defensive teams get much more of than other chances. Had far too many games in my season where I've drawn or lost despite dominating the shot and CCC stats.

How much difference does the green circle make to a player's performance? I always try to follow it, except in rare cases like with FB who just want to defend, but I've no idea whether its worth giving it the attention I do.

Yeah same. I'm finding that playing a short passing 4231 most games I'm having tons of shots on target (note work ball into box is on, so not like these are long range pot shots) but I'm not scoring, whilst opponents do score with one or two chances from long balls over top. Deeply frustrating

Just posted this in the bug forum about the same issue. 4231 has been my default in past versions, and was ok with FM20, but last patch in particular seems to have hurt it.

Ironically, literally the first thread on there is this, describing exactly the issue I'm having. 4-2-3-1 was pretty successful for me in my first season at Boca, it being useless in my current season seems to coincide with 20.2 update

I know AMs can do good stuff, and the ME is currently capable of generating some lovely goals. I'm interested in whether others having same experience as me though, which that over a season the return on AMs is pretty pathetic, and that goals like yours above are not common. If its just a matter of my team then great, one less issue to address. For the reasons I mentioned in the first post though (ie direct balls over top being way more effective) I'm skeptical thats the case though, and hence why posted it here. If others dont post similar experiences then I have my answer.

I've not yet tested this with different teams, so totally open to idea that its just my squad, but one thing I've been struck by with ME at the moment is that playing a number 10 in the hole is massively ineffective. One of my star players is an AM (Sforza, at Boca) and playing in a 4-2-3-1 behind the striker he does almost nothing - in 33 games last season 3 goals and 5 assists. Like I say this might just be my squad, but then given how weak through balls and short passing seem to be now (as opposed to just blasting it over the top long ball) it would make sense that the AM position is useless. Have others experienced this?

I'm kind of sympathetic to the ME there - you can see Alderweireld goes to pick up the player in front of him, but the the ball is played for a different runner in behind. Admittedly it takes a ridiculous amount of time for him to then start to recover his position, but at least the logic there is apparent. This doesn't seem as bad as the issues I keep seeing in my games, where defenders appear perfectly well positioned to cut out a ball over the top, but just weirdly stop whilst the attacker bursts past them for a 1 on 1 (which they then fail to convert).

I've also found (in both FM 19 and FM 20) that my DoF consistently lowballs basically everything. The Scout report's wages are far more accurate, which makes me wonder why my DoF never comes close to following it.
This. The DoF is basically just there as a fail button at the moment it seems. Don't have it, or make it at least potentially useful.

I've ran into this twice recently - I go to sign a player, their agent asks for me to make an opening offer, I have no real idea so ask my DoF to suggest (he has 14 in negotiations so isnt an idiot), when I go with his suggestion the agent gets mad, and demands I accept his terms. If I try and make any adjustments they call off talks, and I lose the deal.
Clearly something not quite balanced here. Either the DoF should not be making suggestions that are so out of line, or the agents should not be making such a fuss.0 -

I personally would be happy if SI scrapped the match engine, went back to the old school 2D graphics - The graphics they use to demonstrate how a tactic should work on the create a tactic screen. The moves on that screen are NEVER EVER replicated in ME.
You can have the 2D graphics now - its still there in options. The 2D and 3D are just visualisations overlaying the actual ME. The issues with no through balls etc we have right now has nothing to do with 3D vs 2D.

I'm having this too, my star player a pressing forward (playing with two AM wingers behind him, with instructions to use the flanks and overlapping FBs) goes from 10 goals in 10 games pre patch, to not scoring in 10+ games since. Annoying thing was I came to this from FM2016, and I hated how in that that wide players *never* crossed for a tap in, always went for goal instead. In the FM2020 beta this was actually better, I saw that happen a few times and was stoked. Since full release this ME is broken though, my wingers are scoring more themselves, but nothing from striker.

It's not just from throw ins for the record, here's my left back costing us the game with a diagonal suicide charge to their left midfield in the 88th minute, comes direct from their goal kick.
Don't know if its related to the left back bug, but no idea what is going on with the rubber banding on the goal scorer, who is offside but gets away with it.

Might just be coincidence, but last couple of days I've had a few goals where the opponent just basically ran from deep through the middle of my defence without anyone moving to stop him. Then just had this - see their 3rd goal, where guy picks up ball 25yards out with literally five I think defenders around him, and none of them move towards him. Didn't see any of this in the beta.

[Suggestion] Regular updates about stadium expansion
in Reviewed
Posted
Assuming that this isn't just a bug, since becoming Boca manager 18 months ago my info screen has listed that there are plans for stadium expansion that are currently in planning permission. I've had no update in that time, and nothing has changed. There is no progress bar in my Club Vision page, like you get with some promises. I get that building a new stadium is often fraught, and can take years and years (hello Everton), but if this is going to happen the player should get regular (ie at a minimum once a year) updates on it, even if the news is 'there is no news'. At the moment I have no idea if this new stadium will ever happen, or even if its actually working as intended.
Stadium rebuilds make a huge difference to club finances, I know they're rare, but they're a massive deal and so should get better treatment by the game.
