FM15 Post your Frustrations/Raaaage

Why won't my keeper hold a blooming shot?!? Every single one is palmed straight to an awaiting attacker. Oh, and then there's my wingers who seem to always shoot even when the striker in the middle is facing an open goal. And since when has "Play it shorter" meant "Hoof it 40 yards". I also feel like I've lost some of the precision that I had on the team tactics page in FM13 with the sliders for width etc (Didn't play FM14 so its all new to me)
 
I like how about 70% of the frustrations expressed here seem to bear all the hallmarks of high tempo, fluid play, and nobody's ******* realised it.

I may be wrong but i cannot find a way of setting one of my players to specifically man mark and opposition player, either the feature is not there (rubbish idea) or its well hidden and not intuitive (rubbish idea.) Or I am daft.

You should be able to specific man mark a player when in a game?

Thing is, total football would require medium or slow tempo, high fluidity and basically no specialists. People ain't playing total football, they're making some crazy *** bumfuck high tempo high fluidity high expressiveness high number of specialists bollocks and then complain that the players are rushing their chances or not doing what they were asked.

I'm trying to play a very slow controlled possession game (Admittedly with a Championship side but it has been done IRL) but for some reason my midfielders seem to interpret this exactly the same as my more expansive tactic which is more direct. Lots of 40 yard through balls instead of the simple 5-10 yard balls I'm looking for.

I was being sarcastic, tbh I have no idea how to even implement total football in the ME if I am really honest I only really seem to get 4231 and sometimes 433 to work, this is down to my own limitations I know. I always have a pretty successful 4231 and fm15 is no different. I keep telling myself I will read through The Better Halfs threads again and learn more about how to develop good tactics but I can never get away from 4231 because I always manage to get it to work so I just do not bother.

Reduce expressiveness, make the tactic more rigid, but above all give them options on the ball. If they have no options, they either stand around and get tackled or they shoot.

Admittedly, it is a little difficult to play a short passing game at any tempo. It is being worked on though!
 
I seem to be having a wee spot of bother with the whole transfer thing.. It hasn't changed much so I don't get what I'm finding so confusing!?
 
Watching my counter attacks die when players with 16+ first touch miscontrol simple balls has got to be one of the most soul crushing things in the game.

Yeah I'm not sure about that one. It's either a miscontrol or deliberate, and I'm not entirely sure which. I had a word with the ME guys about it the other day and they said generally it's a miscontrol but either it's not weighted correctly or I'm getting lots of strange decisions by players to stop running when through on goal.
 
Can't holiday without having the entire team hate me when I return.
 
I'm the red team.

I really would like it if my defenders/goalkeeper would have a freaking sense of urgency when they have possession of the ball and the opposing player is rushing at them.
Nothing kills me more than watching my defenders get the ball from a pass and have a ****** first touch (or, as I like to call it, the "own through ball") and have the opposing forward steal the ball and score.
:c WHY MUST IT DO THIS TO MEEEEEE?
