    Am I imagining things!?

    ... Or do regens face actually changing depending on their morale status. For example a regen will have a slight smile if morale is good and a slight frown if morale is poor. Just a random question. If so, I've never realised that in all my years of playing FM.

    Free kick conversion frequency.

    On my save it seems to be extremely low. I have two players capable of putting away free kicks. Player 1: 20 Free Kicks, 14 Long shots. Player 2: 18 Free Kicks, 16 Long shots. I honestly can't remember the last time a free kick was converted by anyone in my team let alone my two main takers...

    Penalty glitch in a match.

    If I had drawn or lost this match by 1 goal, I would have rage quitted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjdcIwmD87o I don't know if you will be able to see but Will Keane takes the penalty, scores and it rebounds out of the net. But the commentary said that he blazed it over the bar!

    Admitting that right now I need some tactical help.

    I consider myself to be decent at this game, I usually make decent tactics. I've now made a new tactic with my Colchester team which is creating chances, but they're are simply not being converted and it's starting to take it's toll. It's also leaky at the back. I'm in the Premier League, I'm...

    Quick Penalty Taker question.

    Why does the game see Nemanja Maksimovic (Finishing: 12, Composure: 15, Penalty: 14) as the better penalty taker than Bernando Silva (Finishing: 14 , Composure: 16 , Penalty: 14 )? Just bit confused about that. Are there any underlying stats that the game looks at with penalties? Should I trust...

    Is it just me that finds it impossible to criticise defenders?

    This isn't the first or last time but I'll give the scenario I've just had. My Colchester team has just beaten Watford 3-1 in the Premier League at Home. Their goal was entirely the fault of my defender Daniele Rugani. Strange because he's my best defender and is usually reliable. At 2-1, he...

    Be More Expressive/Disciplined

    Is there a way to get "Be More Expressive/Disciplined" to apply to individual players instead a team instruction?

    The 10 Men Effect.

    Why is it when the AI goes down to 10 men, I can't seem to win.. Happens ALL THE ******* TIME! It can be a comfortable 1-1 situation, as soon as they go down to 10 men no matter what changes I make, they'll dominate the game and eventually score. I'm fed up of it. How do you play against 10...

    9 Cleaer Cut Chances, 1 Goal.

    Clear* I clicked Random and it gave me Colchester. Screenshot of my tactics, I switch from Control to Counter in matches. I had it on Counter most of the time in the match thus the lack of possession. How do I get my strikers scoring and not missing pretty much every chance? I'm delighted...

    Overload.

    I'm sick and tired of the AI playing Overload against me. Seriously... It's pretty obvious when the AI does it as they press ridiculous high, close you down like there's no tomorrow and just generally being aggressive for practically 90 minutes. How do I counter the AI playing Overload...

    Take a look at this player...

    Please someone. Please explain to me how players like him and other alike continually fail to spot the most obviously through ball opportunities when his stats suggest he should be able to spot these. And I'm not talking about raking 30 yard balls either. Just a simple ball next the the area...

    Fullbacks refuse to cross the ball.

    Why is this? I have it set to often. Opportunities to cross the ball, and they turn back and pass. It's so annoying.

    You can roughly tell who's going to win...

    ... by press split screen and look at the team rating. Whatever team has the higher rating will not lose that match. I had a match when I had way more shots/on target than the opposition. But simply because they had the higher match rating, the game ended in a draw. Try it for yourselves.

    My main gripe of the football manager series

    Is the finishing. I find it EXTREMELY unrealistic. From players missing the most easiest of chances (regularly), to players shooting the ball more closer to the corner flag. Players most of the time shoot directly at the keeper, what's that all about? I thought that this would change in the...

    I'm sick a tired of my defenders needlessly heading the ball out for corners.

    They could be literally under no pressure, just a long punt up top and he heads it behind for a corner. It's ridiculous. Most headed clearances go for corners. Just basically handing an opportunity for the opposition to score. I'm fed up of it.
