    FM15 running slow

    So this is actually a known bug. I'm on my phone, so I'm not going to type out the whole solution, but the problem is being caused for most people by a conflict between fm15 and your anti virus software. You should find that if you disable your antivirus, the game runs fine. The fix is to go...

    Schalke tactics tips

    So Schalke are my favorite FM team, and the one I've had the most success with. Huntelaar is obviously the key to getting things rolling, and I think I had him scoring more than a goal a game for about three years, until his stats really started to decline. Here are a few tips. Huntelaar is...

    The FM 14 Match Engine Survival Guide (painfully long)

    So I've done a bit of work attempting to get my wingers to behave in much the same way as the wingers that terrorized my sides in the early days of the beta. The best bet has largely been to use them a "wingers" with support. Of course they should be told to "run often" I don't let them sit...

    The FM 14 Match Engine Survival Guide (painfully long)

    So it can be hard without knowing any more about your formation, but I've found that one thing that can help if you're conceding often on crosses is simply to play with a deeper line. Typically I'm not scored on via a cross unless a winger gets in behind, and to prevent this, it may help...

    The FM 14 Match Engine Survival Guide (painfully long)

    So of course what you're saying might be completely true, I certainly can't prove otherwise. However, this kind of post bothers me because of course many people are having these issues. The guy who gets on a thread to say "i'm not though" is either A. lying or B. doing something that the...

    The FM 14 Match Engine Survival Guide (painfully long)

    Aerial ability and strength do seem the way to go atm. My issue with two striker systems is that using two strikers means either sacrificing solidity at the back, or playing without an AMC/#10, (which is perfectly legitimate, but never seems to work for me over the long haul). But if you...

    The FM 14 Match Engine Survival Guide (painfully long)

    I miss fm 12 too. But my biggest gripe with that game was that every striker had to have pace. Anyone slower than 14 or so was just blown away by a pacey poacher no matter their other stats. Now the classic poacher is next to useless, so that's a nice change of pace.....

    The FM 14 Match Engine Survival Guide (painfully long)

    Hi all, So last year I posted a long, well documented, and thorough review of the ME deficiencies in FM 13 when it launched, and supported it with testing and what documentation I could, and people still jumped down my throat for criticizing their beloved SI. So this year I'm doing something...

    Aha, see there's the rub. As soon as the title of this thread changed from semi hysterical to thoughtful and reasonable, it's been completely ignored.....

    Basic Questions to comprehend the game better

    Someone recently encourage me to be more active in the community, so I'll take a stab at a few of these! I've tried to make these work without much success over the years. It seems like it would be cool, but what they actually do is usually kinda bad. Do you want your centerbacks to...

    My thoughts on the 13.2.1 Match Engine

    One of the things you would have gotten from reading the thread is mike saying almost exactly the same thing about my tests vs. those of SI. you guys are very in sink. But here is the thing, although my tests are admittedly childs play compared to what SI does (you'll find all this in the...

    My thoughts on the 13.2.1 Match Engine

    So up until now, I've been having a good time debating the new ME with smart folks. This is the first dumb, or possibly just lazy, thing i've seen in this thread. I'm not sure I can get motivated to properly respond, so I'll just ask a question instead. Which part do you usually disprove...

    My thoughts on the 13.2.1 Match Engine

    I can't decide if this annoys me or not. It's like your apathetic, but not too apathetic to post something.......

    My thoughts on the 13.2.1 Match Engine

    I can see how my post might read like that, but actually we are saying the same thing. My argument is not that attribute x or y sucks or does nothing, it's that the changes to player decision making have taken an attribute that used to do something and made it do nothing (or at least be much...
