I sincerely hope a patch is incoming very soon *cough cough* before Christmas.
I fear we are going to be stuck with this ME until March. That would be the end of FM for me
I'm winning nearly every game at the moment, but there's only so many long balls over defenders then a missed 1-on-1 I can watch.

It's not awful. It's just frustrating. It's still, IMO, a better game than 19.
I enjoyed 19 a LOT more than 20 so far
I still have faith in SI to get it sorted. They get a lot of unnecessary grief.

I don't know, was Leicester winning the league realistic?

Hopefully SI give us an early Christmas present with a patch soon
I'm currently 2nd in the table with Reading but can't enjoy the game with this match engine. It's so frustrating because it could be brilliant!

Reading mid-season update.
We lost 2-1 away at Newcastle in the Carabao Cup 3rd round, despite taking a 1st minute lead. We bounced back with 3 straight wins at home to Fulham (4-0!) and away to Swansea and Bristol City. 3 straight draws followed by a 1-0 defeat at home to Preston dampened my mood as we were 2 points off the top of the table at one point but we dropped down to 5th.
4 wins out of 5 in November saw us back up to 3rd but 12 points behind runaway leaders Leeds who we beat 2-1.
December has been a mixed bag with wins against Derby and Birmingham but then drawing with Stoke and losing to bottom of the table Barnsley
23 games played and we sit in 2nd place on 47 points with 14 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses. Leeds are still 8 points clear at the top and, surprisingly, it is Wigan that is pushing us the hardest who are just one point behind us in 3rd place.
I'm hoping for some new year consistency!

The cursor has to be absolutely central but off screen to the bottom
First sub made between 60 and 65 minutes wherever possible
If I'm on a winning run I can't quit the game because said run will end!

Nice 👍🏻
interested to see your formation/tactics if possible?
I primarily use a cautious 4-1-2-3 DM Wide. I'm useless at posting screenshots so I'll type it the rest
My tactical style is a custom route one.
In possession:
- Slightly more direct passing
-Hit early crosses
- Play for set pieces
- Be more disciplined
- Overlap left/right
- Higher tempo
- Waste time sometimes
In transition:
- Take long kicks
- Distribute to target man
- Slow pace down
- Counter and regroup
Out of possession:
- Defend narrower
- Lower defensive line
- More urgent
- Get stuck in
- Use tighter marking

Quick update on my Reading save.
After an unbeaten pre-season, we typically started with a 1-0 home loss to Sheffield Wednesday. Things didn't get much better the week after as we scraped a 1-1 draw away at Hull.
Since that sticky opening patch we have been brilliant!
QPR (A) Carabao Cup 4-3 win
Cardiff (H) 4-2 win
West Brom (A) 2-1 win
Huddersfield (A) 2-0 win and a first clean sheet of the season
Millwall (A) Carabao Cup 1-1 - we won 8-7 on penalties!
Charlton (H) 4-1 win
Middlesbrough (A) 0-0
Blackburn (H) 2-0 win
We currently sit 4th in the league after 8 games with Fulham, Bristol City and Leeds ahead of us.
An away trip to Newcastle in the Carabao Cup 3rd round is next up!

Speaking as someone who has just been sacked by Reading, the board are very tight. There is a lot of deadwood that are hard to budge. I don't think the burnley approach will work with Reading they have a lot of technical players in Swift, Ojaria, Loader & Olise. If you can get Olise into that team you will not regret it, will be able to sell him for 20 odd million in a year or two.
It seems to be working very well at the moment. Which season were you sacked?
Olise played a couple of times in pre season, I will take a closer look at him, cheers!

I ended my Southend save before it even got going and have now taken charge of Reading.
Pre season has just finished and it has gone very well. We started with a 3-0 win over Eastleigh, followed by a brilliant 2-1 win over a very strong Spurs line-up. Next up was a 7-0 away win over Coleraine, a 0-0 draw with Slavia Prague, a 1-0 win away at Sunderland, a 4-0 win against Hungerford and finally a 3-0 home victory against Tranmere.
Next up is our first competitive match of the season at home to Sheffield Wednesday.
We have only made one signing so far in Tyrell Warren as a back up CB on a free transfer. Our club captain Liam Moore was subject of an £8,000,000 bid from Palace (he is valued at £10,000,000) so I asked for a deal worth £12,000,000 which I thought was reasonable. Palace said no, Moore kicked off and said I priced him out of a move. I told him if Palace bid £10,000,000 I would let him go and he replied I was being ridiculous
Hopefully I can keep him happy and maintain a tight knit squad.
I am playing a 4-1-4-1 DM Wide. Cautious and direct, very much like Burnley

This isn't my actual tactic, just the tactic I ended up with in this game after making some changes. My actual tactic is a possession 4-2-3-1 with a positive mentality.
Eibar didn't read anything like a book lol, they didn't play well at all. If your plan is to stop a team from scoring by defending deep and limiting the quality of their chances, but then you give up 4 ccc's, you executed your plan terribly. If the other side of that same plan is to transition quickly when you win the ball to try and score, but you only have 2 shots, both outside the box, and 1 on target, you executed that side of the plan terribly as well.
Eibar didn't play well at all is my point, they didn't "take their chance", because they literally had no chances.
I've watched Burnley beat Liverpool and Man City after conceding 26 shots and having the lowest amount of possession since Opta records began. Burnley knew how Liverpool were going to play and weathered the storm. While Burnley didn't look particularly good, they won. It wasn't even a case of transitioning quickly, they didn't! Again, it happens! Get over it and try again.
A shot is a chance. Eibar took a shot and it went in. Tough luck!

As a Burnley fan, I'm used to seeing us have 2 shots and winning a match with 20% possession, it happens! Hell, last season we beat Fulham 2-1 without having a shot on target due to 2 own goals
Your tactic looks very very attacking and it looks like Eibar read it like a book and took their chance.

I've complained about a few issues in the game previously, but I still have faith in SI to get it sorted.
People getting unnecessarily aggressive need to think before they post. It's a game. Just a game. A friend of mine died a couple of days ago... when something like that happens it really puts into perspective how unimportant the FM match engine actually is.
SI will release a patch, they are working on it. Chill out
peace!

Apologies, I wasn't sure... Where can I post this?
Probably in the tactics forum or in the game feedback topic in the general forum (although the shooting in to the side netting rather than passing to a striker just yards away is a known issue, so probably not worth bringing up again) It's the single most frustrating part of the game for me and I really hope SI patch it soon.

Wrong forum, and no.

No, but they frequently are the Team who "concede lots of shots" -- and still win. Sean Dyche, like any Manager, doesN't care About the amount of shots. What he cares About is what those shots look like. No Campaign exemplified this more than their 2017/2018 one. A few early "Highlights". By december that year they had conceded 20 shots AVERAGE -- but only conceded as many Goals as Pep's City (12).

https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1190196/MatchReport/England-Premier-League-2017-2018-Liverpool-BurnleyThat's why I was asking what you meant as you should be familiar with the General idea -- how Football isn't a Sports About racking up shot Counts on a spreadsheet.
Ah, touchè. But yes, I was talking about the side netting issue.
Burnley play lots of long balls and crosses in to the box, but never have I seen our wingers shoot in to the side netting when it would be easier to pass. I don't think they would dare.
I have no issues with shots taken/scored so far, but that's just me.

Seeing as you're a Burnley fan I'm curious: Dou you specifically mean the justified complaints About the "side Netting" issue or the more general concerns About having lots of shots without scoring?
1. Burnley don't ever have "lots of shots"
2. We have scored 6 goals in our last 2 games
3. No one likes us, we don't care!

I've been reading this thread for a while and thought it would be the usual case of forum members complaining for the sake of it...
Wrong!
I don't care how my tactics are set up, there's not a winger/wing-back in the world who would shoot in to the side netting 4 times a game when the striker is 8 yards away waiting for a tap in. The match engine is broken and is sucking the fun out of the game.
I love the rest of the game and the new features such as the development centre and club vision. FM20 has the potential to be one of the best games in the series, but the ME needs some serious work because at the moment I feel that I have wasted my money.

I've decided to randomise until I land on a League 1 team and so my new club is... Southend United.
Should be a good challenge. The five year plan is to be aiming for the playoffs but I'm hoping to reach that goal within a couple of seasons. The board also want to build a new stadium so we'll see how that affects our finances!
I can't get stuck in to the save until the weekend but then I have 5 days off work so hopefully I'll be back with an update soon!

3D seems to run alot smoother than 2D Classic for me. Not ideal when I prefer 2D
Maybe I need a new laptop

I agree it might be annoying, but I'm sure every manager has had a disagreement with their club's chairman/board over a number of issues, including transfers. They own the club, after all.

I had a great save on FM08. Started with my beloved Burnley and got them promoted in the first season via the playoffs. With 10 games remaining in the Premier League and sitting in 18th place just 1 point from safety, I was inexplicably sacked!
I joined lowly Yeovil and saved them from relegation with 3 games to spare. A full squad rebuild and 4 seasons later I was promoted to the PL. Last game of the season was, you guessed it, Burnley away. We had to get a point to stay up and, depending on other results, Burnley could be relegated if they lost and Aston Villa won.
We won comfortably 2-0 and Villa won too! We stayed up and sent Burnley down.

I'm playing as Burnley and just lost 3-0 to Man Utd. I checked my fans confidence feedback after the match and one of the negatives is "Frustrated at failing to beat a team that suffered an early red card". United were already 3-0 up when Herrera was sent off in the 85th minute

KUTGW!!
Thanks! Dare I say it but it has seemed easy so far. I'm hoping it's down to me and I haven't broken the game by playing very boring football
Scrap that, my next match after that unbeaten run has just ended as 3-0 loss at Hull. Maybe now is where the hard work starts!

Strange that worthy comments are being deleted. SI should understand that overzealous 'mods' can be brand damaging to their community as much as a poor ME can.
I've played thousands of hours since FM08, but I fear the community element has passed and it is now just another game made by just another company.
SI, it's been emotional, but I'm out.
