right, but what I'm saying is that I don't set out to play long to my forwards. I go out of my way to keep the ball on the floor as much as possible. There was a bug pre patch where too many headers were contested, I'm still seeing this (albeit not as much as before). I don't see the same level of headers in the ME as I do in the stats, so I'm asking if it's possible to rule out it still being a bug. I have at times noticed aimless long balls from both my team and the AI, so I am leaning more towards it being a bug that wasn't fully fixed.

Match ratings are important though, so having what seems like a bug negatively impact them is an annoyance. So not a "waste of time".

I'd like to know if it's possible for an attack to get through a run of games without failing to win multiple headers, which impacts their match rating.

Anybody? I've experimented by going quite extreme in terms of short passing, but still my forwards will get 6.3s for not being able to win multiple headers

Why is the Club World Cup still a massive mess? Are FIFA really going to play a tournament where the best sides have players away on international duty? Will teams really not train at all during it? Why does every competition allow 5 subs apart from this one?

This game is really dead isn't it? Just nothing

Has anyone managed to get small forwards to get good ratings or is this another dreadful "quirk"? Am I doomed to seeing my smaller team get penalised because "headers won" is broken as well as the actual heading stats (which was meant to have been fixed in the latest update)?

Last one

Disappointing but not unexpected. Only the addition of women's football will make me consider buying FM24

So many bugs. Match ratings are a mess and should have been revamped years ago. They just don't work, which means the game doesn't work as it should. Headers won is by far the most important stat for player ratings - so small forwards get poor ratings. I'm seeing forwards with 15-20 goals with a 6.7 overall rating. There are far too many penalties given and they are given for reasons that are unclear. The animations are awful and my bug posts have been ignored so there's no point in posting them. Also players just don't move clubs. Big clubs seem to have largely the same players years into the game.

Am I wasting my time? I've got so many more penalties to post, but if it's going to be ignored then what's the point?

Season two completed. League performances were a bit hit and miss but we just kept winning. A second round exit to Napoli was a real low point. Going to use Martinelli up top next season as Jesus is really inconsistent. Last summer I bought in Rice, Guehi and Fati, with Rice the only out and out starter. I need a partner for him even though Xhaka is still performing. Fati is always injured. Jorginho, Vieira, Trossard and Tierney are all for sale. Might sell Tomiyasu and Nketiah too

The foul was surely outside of the box here? Brentford v Arsenal.pkm

Another bad animation. These just don't get given irl Wolfsburg v Arsenal.pkm

Season One done, no transfers. Really disappointed in Trossard's contribution, unsure whether I'm going to sell or not. Holding, Tierney and Partey are definitely going. Turner probably too. Kiwior might go out on loan

yeah but it doesn't just do it for Europe, it randomly does it for league matches too

Has anyone else noticed this weird bug where the Emirates Stadium changes to the Arsenal Stadium only to change back again?

So many goals seem to come from defensive players dawdling on the ball and getting tackled. Is anyone else experiencing this? The animation for it is horrible too, not enjoyable to watch

The issue is how much weighting there is on "headers won"

played a bit more. I don't see how it's improved tbh. Feels like the update has done nothing

a few more annoyances. Too many underhit passes from techinical players. Shots that are off target seem to always go over the bar, not wide.
