    Try checking your zoom setting in the FM preferences, this is different to the mouse wheel and won't impact the rest of your PC (although it will impact all FM screens).

     

    Tried this too... just made the text smaller and nothing else! Can't get the resolution right either - seems to just make it look blurry...

    zoom out the pitch with the mouse wheel and the dots will be smaller.

    Tried zooming - doesn't change much.

    Eh, some kind of resolution thing? maybe compare resolution setting between old and new PC?

    Think you're right. Don't think I can change resolution unless I change it source, which is just annoying to do.

  3. You can change the pace, acc, finishing etc through the in game editor anyway if you wanted to. 

    I think changing things like game modifiers just makes the game more like an arcade rather than a simulation too so would rather they avoided anything like this as it almost feels like a step backwards.

    There's two points to note when people speak about the ME;

    1 - Broken aspects of the ME that need fixing - for example in the current ME long balls & 1 on 1's clearly need looking at, which, when fixed should remove a lot of the complaints.

    2 - I think your point with managers striving to have 'perfect games' also applies to FM however people are much less patient and declare the ME to be bad when it doesn't work out. I'm not sure you can please all of these people even if you make a whole load of changes.

  4. Bit of an odd one and I'm sure it's a quick fix but...

     

    Recently I've bought a new PC and started playing FM on it however on 2D the dots seem a lot larger than they were previously and seem to take over the pitch a little. Is there a way of reducing them at all?!

     

    Edit - screenshot makes them look smaller too which doesn't really get my point across! :seagull::lol:

  5. Have to agree with the majority here.

    The ME in its current state isn't enjoyable. The balls over the top are too accurate and happen way too often. It hasn't stopped me from winning but the immersion of the game isn't really the same. 

    I've actually resorted to FM19 until the patch comes out, which made think about the clear cut chances. When watching in FM19 some chances are definite clear cuts but don't register as so whereas in FM20 it's quite clear that there are too many. If they could find the balance between the two that would be my ideal. I actually use the clear cut chances, key passes, assists to assess how my players are playing and whether I should be changing their position/roles so getting this more accurate would help out when picking the right teams.

    I love the FM series and I quite like the additions that have been made for FM20's version so will be looking forward to playing it again once the patch has hit!

  6. I agree with this, I've removed all instructions to press and even had my lines both on low and still suffered from these long balls since the patch. Only way I've found is sticking both full backs on defend but low line and defensive full backs isn't how I really want to play. 

    Would be interesting to see the tactics that currently don't have this issue...

  7. I'd be interested how you get on with this. I've tried a similar set up with the advanced/deep playmaker in the 3 and enjoy the way they play but always feel there is a little something lacking compared to a BBM or a Mez.

    Maybe somewhere else to look at is changing the IF & FB roles to create a bit of variety which could help improve your midfielders performances?

  8. After having successful possession tactics for the past few years in FM I decided to continue the tradition and try similar tactics in this years version however have hit issues with pretty much all tactics. They just don't work. I can't even seem to get shots off never mind scoring and I have no idea why... I have tried so many different tactics, with logical thinking with the exact same result. So I decided to try this... which 99% of people would tell me it stands no chance but I'm averaging over 3 goals a game and conceding less than 1 with at least 55% possession -

    Can someone tell me why this works however the below doesn't? -

    These are just two examples but plenty of others have been tried with very similar results, inclduing trying these on balanced and positive.

  9. Thanks to all the replies - it's definitely given me something extra to think about.

    @Experienced Defender The crazy thing is that 4-2-3-1 with lots of support duties has probably been my most successful tactic but it's not exactly how I want to play the 2 midfielders as the DLP is typically on defend. I'll tweak some of the TI's and see if there is any improvement from there.

    @sporadicsmiles The aim for the DLP for me is to be slightly more free than what a DLP on defend is. I want him picking the ball up from the defenders or the holding midfielder and starting moves from there and like you say being the heartbeat of the team. 

    @summatsupeer You might be right - the DLP-Su may not be the right role but I'd like to try at least making it work one way to see how he performs at his best.

  10. Has anyone had any luck with a DLP-Su? I love the idea of the role and think someone like De Jong has great attributes for it however I can never incorporate it into a formation without it creating problems. In a 4-2-3-1 I have tried pairing him with a runner (BBM/Mez) but it creates defensive issues as there isn't really a sitter. If I try pairing him with a CM-D the midfield doesn't seem to create enough attacking options and both sit fairly close to each other.

    When I try him with a holding midfielder it feels like my midfield is too defensive, even with say a Mez-A, one side just seems to be lacking the attacking spark. I know the role can work well, I'm just struggling with ways to find out how.

    Tactic 1 -

    Tactic 2 -

    Tactic 3 (few variations of this one but mainly tried) -

    Again I've tried different tactics but just can't seem to get it to work too much.

    This is the problem. The poor guy is trying to listen to you.  But if you give him contradictory instructions ... what can he do? "Play aggressively, attack 90 minutes ... but do not shoot or cross !". 

    You're missing the point. You want the players to play to your instructions. Why do I want my holding midfielder shooting from distance where it's quite clear that nothing will come of it? My post was more about balance than being aggressive for 90 minutes, but anyway...

    I don't now if that is what's going on here or not as we have little information to go by.  Sure the ME can be improved but that doesn't mean we can't do things ourselves.  But in order to make more specific suggestions for you (if possible) we'd need to understand your tactical system in detail.

    I think this sums it up pretty well. Too many times people either blame the ME as a whole or the tactic when it is most likely a mix of the two. I've seen a good amount of times where a player doesn't have 'Shoots from distance' PPM, has plenty of viable options, on a lower tempo and still balloons multiple shots from distance, which I believe, is where the ME can improve. However, I've also created tactics in where there is limited options for the player so all they can do is shoot from distance, that is down to the tactic and can be addressed by reading through the forums and experimenting yourself to try make bring these situations down to a minimum. The screenshot of you having 30 shots with 5 on target won't be solely down to the ME, you will need players attempting to make runs in behind or players around him giving him options to pass to. My favourite tactic currently is having a Mez-A and W-A on the same side of the pitch providing an overload and penetration but having the striker drop off and an IWB to provide the passing options too.

    Currently, the game only allows soft restrictions in the form of "Cross less often" or "Cross more often", I would like a 3rd one that we could call "If you cross you'll be substituted". The same for shooting.

    I think this is a valid point too. Often you have WBiB and Shoot less often yet the player simply doesn't listen to you. In real life this just wouldn't be acceptable and would be talked about before the next game.

  14. Very good read, I use a similar tactic with a few roles tweaked to suit my team.

    How are you finding the CF-Su role? I felt like the game almost passed him by when I used him. When I changed it up to a CF-A it felt like my identity changed. Players were looking for the longer ball as the CF tried to push higher. Currently trying the DLF-A which doesn't change the identity at least but still doesn't have much impact. Fortunately my left winger and Mez are banging in goals for fun!
