the bold isn't anywhere near close to being correct tbh. You can ask anyone what the biggest issue was, and most people will immediately scream full backs, and then the defensive line non tackling engagment. There has been one post release hotfix 14.1.4, and then 14.2 is a scheduled update. Or would you rather there were no patches?

I wouldn't have a problem with new patches I didn't like if there was a way to revert to the previous patch.
Thats probably because they disagree, and tbh the numbers playing support that. Juts because you dont like it, doesnt mean everyone else doesnt. Hard to argue that when more people are playing than ever.
Its numbers have killed the previous versions week for week in the same comparison when they were released. Its set to outsell FM13, which in itself broke records for them.. We've had less out now, than FM13 did, or FM12 did actually. The .2 is a scheduled update.
Actually by the sounds of it, everyone seems to be annoyed SI broke the exploitative tactics. Which is odd.
How is this a bad thing?!
When you're in mid season and a patch gets released, you're essentially screwed. Your current tactic won't work, then when you make a new one, you have to wait for it to get fluid. Subsequently, your form will suffer severely.
Then what exactly are you complaining about? a fix that needed to occur that affects both human and AI. And you defintely dont need to re create a tactic each time.
And my throne isnt big, its enormous. Now out of my sight, peasant.
This isnt actually true though.
You can punch above your weight in this game, but only by getting the players to raise themselves consistently over a period of time. It's been too easy in this version of FM. I'm 7th in the SPL with Morton right now. And my squad isn't that strong. It's just that the morale went downhill after we started losing once the injuries started mounting up. Were there no injuries, i'm sure I'd be 2nd or 3rd. The injuries are keeping me interested, but there are so many it seems that the outliers are the norm now. I'm sure that, had the injuries not been a part of the save, I'd have been wondering why this was all too easy. I'll pplay on a bit more, but I can't help feel that once you get a team familiar with a tactic that seems to work, it works regardless of the level you play at. Now, I know that this Morton side shouldn't compete remotely in the EPL, but I have no doubt they'd do very well in the Championship if the morale was kept in check. In reality, even a strong Morton side would struggle to promote from the Skrill Premier, so I don't think the AI is all there just yet.
Elaborate.
The familiarity may suffer, but the tactic may work better. I took the ace442 from this site and it's been mustard while, like every other tactic, on 14.1.4 it was very meh.
I was actually joking. But you can certainly have an infraction. Oh and by the way, I dont, i've been picking out the defensive flaws from the start.
Thing is, how do you know you haven't exploited it? There were literally thousands of people who played FM12 and had no idea that using a pacey poacher as a lone striker broke the game so much. For all you know - and me to an extent, though I do try to keep up to date with the latest problems and bugs - we've all been brutalising the game with exploits just by using a particular formation.
Well that's bollocks. ****, even anecdotally I can tell you there's been no form difference for me at all.
Sigh, he was joking, wind your neck in before someone wheels out the infraction mace. EDIT: Oh, well, too late.
Thats partly how it should be. Although you have to remember, you're in the SPL, the disparity isnt going to be that great.
Not like dragging a league one side to the Prem for example, maybe you need a tougher challenge?
AI is better, but if you are pretty solid on all fronts ( and it sounds like you are) it's still behind you.
I used to do this, but I play other games online with my Steam so I can't any more.
I feel they should be able to implement a way to revert back to a previous patch.
I had a fully fluid tactic before the update and had to make a new tactic after the update, which isn't fully fluid. Of course my form has suffered.

I can agree with some of the stuff that's been said though. I've continued on all of my saves now, but when I had just loaded the patch, my fluidity in three of the six bars went from accomplished to awkward (passing style, tempo and closing down) and there was also a decrease in marking. I had an important match, which I only lost due to defensive errors, and that was likely to do with my tactic losing it's fluidity.
As for the match engine exploits… I'm fairly sure that shouting in game for your team to play fast passing football, working the ball into the box, hassling the opponents and pushing up high while exploiting the middle isn't, and never has been, an exploit of any sort.
