This!The match engine is so bad this year.
A lot of fast guys going alone to the goals
Very few passes in front of goals.
It's been pretty terrible for me.
Well it`s good you voice your concerns...that`s the best way to improve...via #AsteppingStineClubHonestly, this year is very deceptive to me. I've been playing all FMs for the last 15-20 years. Maybe my expectations were too high or SI oversold the new features, I don't know. But honestly, I don't see many new features that makes a real difference in the game.
A few changes I have noticed :
- Board vision and 5 year strategic plan : that's cool but only used once a year.
- Transcript once a month : it already existed, SI just changed the design and push to your inbox a transcript (with A and B+ grades etc.). Not very interesting or new neither.
- youth development center : who manages the U19 team ? For sure, I look at U19 and pick the best ones and promote them to my senior team when necessary but I won't look at their training nor matches nor tactics. Typically I delegate this to my staff so this feature is pretty useless I think.
For me, it seems like a cut and paste from last year. I am using the same tactic that killed FM19 (TFF tactic!) and it still works.
Other than the above + the expected update on transfers, very frustrating FM this year!
If some of you can shed some light on key features that makes a true difference for them, maybe I'm missing something ... ??

I've just completed a season with Bolton, very glad to do double (L1 + Leasing). But, I really hate watching the key highlights. I notice that there are a few predictable actions on the pitch as followed:
1. Very little passing to the build up of goal attempt, no matter what tactics I implement. Usually the player always dribbles and shoots in all kind of ridiculous angles. To date, I have yet to see the dribbler passing the ball to team mates in better position to score, especially in counter attack. Not even happening on my opponents
2. 90% 1 on 1 won't result a goal. The keeper is superhuman most of the time. Same goes to my GK
3. Way too many penalties, like 1 in every 4-5 games, and missing them way to many times. Strangely my opponents usually don't get one
I hope this is just an isolated experience and I really appreciate if anyone has a solution for me, as I couldn't bare watching another match with the same pattern appears game after game. Thanks
In an age where game developers truly have a deeper understanding of AI and how it works, is there an excuse for how poor it is?
In an age where you can buy a high quality face generator texture pack from the Unity or Unreal store, made by hobbyist game developers, is there really an excuse for how managers and newgens look?
Both of these have one potential reason - game speed. It's a niche game compared to the bigger games out there so it still needs to be accessible to as many people as people, including those on older PCs or laptops and then there's FMT that needs to work on tablets as well.
That's also why we still have a transfer AI that is not proactive in signing players. You won't see a manager go for a good deal (either cheaper, so a chance to make money, or one who is better than the current) on a striker (for example) when the current one is happy and good enough. We are always on the hunt for someone better or cheaper.
