Just because you're the typical FM fan that ignores all the bugs the game ships with every single year and writes them off as "features" doesn't mean they don't exist and irritate those of us that don't have our tinted glasses on. So yes it is like playing a beta in a lot of ways and in...

Waste of money, game is still basically a beta and even more unfun than FM14 ever was.

Honestly FM15 is so buggy right now that it's not worth the price, especially since you're new I'd say grab FM14 for cheap and maybe just get a transfer update for it to see if you'll actually enjoy the series.

Not so much frustration as resignation, yet another year of the injury bug and more badly implemented match engine changes. What's worse is that it's the same freaking game it was in the beta they haven't fixed anything that I've seen. Time to only buy this junk on steam sale(I mean like at...

The way this match engine is it's not been about making sensible tactics the last few years as much as it's been bug exploitation during each specific patch. Case in point being several times over the last few years where your team is doing great, tactics are working and then they patch the game...

Same **** as last year. The match engine is a worthless piece of trash yet SI keeps on insisting it's perfect. The game is inconsistent and downright frustrating in the extreme. After a decade I'm done with this franchise it's a pile of worthless **** now. Everything is about random dumb luck.

He does great for me as either an IF or a conventional winger out on the left. Him on the left with Reus on the right is magical for me at the moment.

Well to be fair people have only been ranting about this since forever, glad someone respected by the community finally pointed it out since everyone else usually gets dismissed as a troll!

I feel your pain, I just had a run of fixtures where I had a league game, 2 days later FA Cup final, 2 days later Europa League Final, 2 days later another league game and then 2 days later the last league match of the season! I'm arsenal and I have a good squad with plenty of depth but I was...

Always run into this on FM myself, every single year. Always hear the change tactics nonsense. Sad fact is it's the only way to get out of the slump until you get to build an OP team that steamrolls everything. Tell me what you will but having to make MASSIVE changes mid season every time is not...

Since last patch, near absolute inability to score in 2nd half despite frequently blasting 3-5 goals in by half time. Also 6 missed penalties in a row from the trio of Falcao, Jovetic and Giroud. Realistic? Gimme a break. Game gets more gimmicky every update with AI that blatantly cheats you...

I always use "Work ball into Box" in my match instructions already and every single player has the long shots slider set "Rarely".

No this isn't a rant about the amount of long shots players take but rather a query. Is there anyway at all to stop my players from taking quite so many of them? I'm managing Arsenal(2nd season) right now and just had a total of 31 shots against Stoke, only 7 were on target though(2 goals)...

Speaking of problems anyone else having players miss penalties since the update? I've gotten 6 but only been able to score one and that was a rebound after the goalie saved it.
