[Issue with Possession]

How is this marked as “resolved” ? 
 

The problem still absolutely exists. It’s March now, so I guess it won’t be fixed in this years version, can you confirm? 

[Unrealistic pass completion rate in lower leagues - the death of direct game.]

Everyone, it's not the news you're looking for, it's not been tweaked for this update, nor do we think we will have anything concrete to implement in FM22. 

It boils down to the complexity of the issue and the amount of testing we would feel comfortable with before releasing a change like this into the game. 

Something to keep in mind is that flatly comparing real passing date to FM isn't reliable:

• There are different ways of tracking a pass, and different data providers will provide different stats. We use SciSports and they typically have higher completion rates that the others. 
• We will always know the AI's intention in game, unlike in real life. Think of a fluke cross that ends up in the net - pundits would debate this post match, but we know the true intention and could track it accurately. The same goes for clearances that end up at the feet of a teammate, for example, we can say with certainty if the AI meant it as a pass or a hit and hope. 

This isn't to say we don't feel there needs to be changes - we're not saying everything is fine.

We will always look to make improvements, we just have to err on the side of caution with this particular issue. Simply put, more time is needed to make a change this underlyingly big. 

I can only apologise, but the issue is right up the top in terms of priority and we will do everything in our power to ensure it's improved upon for next years edition. I was only informed yesterday that this wasn't quite making the cut or else we wouldn't have kicked the can this far down the road. 

 

 

This is insane...

FM23 isn’t due out for another 7/8 months, but apparently there is nothing that can be done to fix FM22 in that time? 

This bug is completely game breaking. Unrealistic possession stats, pass completion % and overall number of passes.
