what an odd thing to copyright.

If that's what you wanted then you should have put it in the title

Is there a licensing reason why the game cannot start say Feb 1 2023 in England with most recent transfers rather than July 2022? Always find it slightly unrealistic to have players that were bought in the winter transfer window to start the whole season. Always feel forced to choose do I want the latest player ratings or a more realistic start post window.

Before the latest ME update I scored a decent number of goals via my striker chipping the goalie (particularly on breakaways). Recently been noticing a large number of chips being hacked off the line. Not saying it shouldn't happen but now I don't see any goals from this anymore. Anyone notice this?

post misleading titles get misleading answers. nobody's fault but theirs.

yes just had De Gea save one from Halaand

That's what I can't work out either. The game doesn't treat these poor touches or just dwelling on the ball as a mistake or anything. Its rarely if ever the home team that gets these animations. The away team just gets their skills nerfed far too much. You can go from being barcelona at home to Ibis Sport club when away in 3 days.

lot of these happening recently. VAR is even getting them wrong.

I don't know if they need to give a hard number as much as give you more feedback as to why maybe you were unlucky v complacent v anxious/nervous through player feedback. I think the RNG is out of whack for away teams honestly.

Ok well if you opened a bug I can submit my game if they need more cases.

That 20 Technique is a dream rating though especially if he gets a lot of opportunities to score. I'd probably sell him if I needed the money or wanted to break the record and had someone else lined up for cheap. I'm sure the fans wouldn't be happy about it though.

do you have a screenshot of this player?

Here's me demolishing Newcastle. They get a couple half chances, yes but never really threaten anything. The fun really starts for the away team turns to sunday league players around 30 mins in. A great example is 15 seconds into the second half. Berardi just gives up on the whole play despite having possession. In the 51st minute Khellven literally just traps the ball down for Van de Beek (who promptly loses it but should have never had it to begin with). It's just odd. For mee it sucks all the fun out of the game because I'm unstoppable at home regardless of tactic/players and slog through away matches despite tactics/players. It all just feels so marginal that I'd rather they giveyou the option to be a strict DoF so I can enjoy the transfer season and warp through time developing players than watch a ME that tactics feel like have very little influence over. I'm playing a significantly weakened side here too. I think the only regular starter I have is De Gea and Silva (Maguire at this point was on my **** list after a string of bad performances). I'm breezing past them like I'm Barcelona. Which fine, you'd expect Man Utd to win but its never even really a game. Man UFC v Newcastle.pkm

Fair enough. Still seems over powered that a team concedes so few goals at home in 19 games. But I know it's not going to perfectly replicate real life. I don't think the results are wholly unrealistic which is why it won't get picked up as a bug or on a soak test. but watching any match you'll see common themes from the away team just incapable of doing anything. For me its a process thing rather than a results at the end of the day. What I'm seeing looks like a complete nerfing of abilities for away teams more often than not. There was even a post about it this morning regarding possession being broken. Most of those games the team with low possession was with the away team being RM, MC, & PSG. I'm not getting overrun or trying to play super aggressively. I'd be happy with a point against the big teams away from home and often set up that way. I've managed games where I've completely shut out the away side with no shots on goal or a single shot and this isn't against League One teams. This was Chelsea and Tottenham and Nottingham Forest (who finished 5th in the league). Here's a game I uploaded as a few examples of bugs. It's not the best example I actually had a decent game. But two of the goals are bugs imo that only happen to teams playing away. i'll see if I can more games and pkm's as examples. that better illustrate of both the home/away dichotomy. For the record... Goal1: Im not mad that a goal was scored on a cross that was actually out of the norm and there should be more like that in the game imo. I'm seeing repeated behavior from away teams that look like Porro essentially passing the ball back to Diaz in midfield. I don't know what he was doing to stop the cross? I guess he gave him the olé there? That seems plausible. Goal2: Throw ins are overpowered for everyone. I fear throw ins more than I fear corners. But I can accept that just being Salah being Salah and half my team getting caught out. Aggravating, not a whole lot tactics can do about it because you're limited on throw in routines. But I get a fair share of goals too so it is what it is. Goal3: I'm not mad about the push (other than that player is an idiot). I don't know why he did that but its a big occasion. Jordan Henderson got sent off in my first game in charge inside the first minute against Liverpool. So players do dumb stuff like that. What I see is a bug where Erikson and fernandes do ??? and then Shaw and Maguire keep trying to center the ball instead of clearing it. I don't know a soul in the world who would try to head the ball in that direction. There's a ton of other little examples. You can take them or leave them as examples of the away team flu or just being under pressure. We certainly watched France get shut out for 80 minutes today. But of course that was a WC final and a team that had the literal flu during the tournament. These things almost never happen at home for me. Typically losing at home is the classic "getting FM'd". MUFC doesn't want to win.pkm

Do you both play 3d on comprehensive or full matches? I doubt you'd see if if you were playing key highlights or even extended. Or if it showed up you'd think it'd be a one off. I do tinker with tactics for home and away. The thing is it's not just my team its the other team when we play at home too. Its not that it's impossible to win away, especially as a big team. You often have just enough quality to win anyway. And maybe if you're dedicating your life to this game you can masterclass your way out of all 11 players having the touch and skills of non league players suddenly. It's not that I think playing away should be automatic wins if you're playing as a big team or that the AI is cheating me in some way. This isn't about getting FM'd in the last minute or the ME is screwing me in particular. It's that there appears to be some mechanism in my game where the away team gets all their skills completely nerfed. I'm not asking to be a world beater in every match but the home and away talent is seriously unbalanced - if not in final points results certainly in process getting there. XaW look at your home and away records and goals for and against. There's four teams with fewer than 10 goals against at home. That's double than the number of times it's happened in the last four non covid seasons! Here's 21/22 season for home and away records IRL And 2020-21 2018-19 and 17-18

If someone has an actual answer as to why away teams play like compete idiots 75% of the time I’d love to hear it. I’ve posted in the tactics forum and got crickets.

Its not that it happens or I expect them to be perfect because players should make mistakes. They go from world class at home to Sunday league players away. Morale is high, cohesion is high, familiarity is high. The only difference is location. I’ve almost never seen it happen at home. It goes for just about every team including AI managed ones.

Reply fail

There is something 100% broken about playing away. I’ve seen the same thing over two years of a save. Playing away should be harder but it shouldn’t turn a team into incompetent morons.

I’ve tried cross more often, longer passes take more risks as PI’s. I haven’t seen a significant difference. There’s still crossing of course but there’s some obvious times when the cross is on and they don’t play it in. Or even the cut back if it’s an inverted winger or inside forward on the ball. The amount of times a player gets to the byline inside the penalty area and just stops because they’ve run out of room and never play a ball into a dangerous area is too frequent imo. i like to think it’s just a limitation of what is being represented but it doesn’t make it any less frustrating.

Yep that’s it. Totally. So bad. Quite possibly the worst ever. Apologies mr guardiola didn’t know you were on the boards here. Carry on

This is the second most annoying thing in this years version. Wide open on the flank? On your strong foot? Plenty of players in the box? Yes, Yes, Yes! NO! this is a perfect opportunity to run to the byline, stop, wait for a defender to close you down and either 1) pass the ball 30 yards backwards to a holding midfielder 2) kick it off him for a corner that is cleared with ease 3) Just stand there and let the defender take the ball to launch a devastating counter attack I don't know if it's that they haven't figure out how to deal with crosses being over powered so they limit the number. Or they haven't gotten the animations right or a good enough variety of outcomes (thinking cross but overhit or straight to the keeper etc etc. Almost never see that).

There's no tactic to tell your players to stop trapping the ball for the on rushing attacker. There's no tactic to tell them to stop winning possession and then immediately stop moving so the attacker can take the ball clean through on goal. There's no tactic to tell your players to stop just passing the ball to a non existent team mate and watch your whole team stand around while the opposition collects it and creates a goal. I'm sick and tired of watching a premier league team look like sunday league players during away matches when they have excellent cohesion. It's embarrassing to watch knowing every away match they're going to shrivel up and die at the sight of the opposition wearing their home colors. It's just a joke. Playing away matches shouldn't be a death knell for every single player on your team. I could see ONE or TWO players having a bad game or making a few mistakes with bad touches or misplaced passes. This is just ridiculous. If there isn't a fix for how away teams behave in the January patch it'll be a long time before I pick up this game again.

I've had that too. Did you add/remove leagues mid game?

Yes I could understand that. Perhaps more of an animation issue or how its represented. 36th minute one is definitely something imo (though might already be logged). As well as 47th minute chance doesn't seem to register any xG despite the text presumably saying there was a shot in the text. Thanks.
