Only just got round to updating the game as I've been away from FM for a week or so.
Anyway, to my save. Sixth season in with Feyenoord, I'm in March and I'm unbeaten in all competitions. I go to my tactics page, and my tactics - like most have mentioned - have lost almost half of its fluidity, most notably the closing down which was on 'awkward'. First game back against Ajax at home... lost 3-2. It brought my unbeaten run of about 60 games to an end (what is also good to note is prior to that match I had only conceded 7 goals in 28 league games, so to concede THREE was unprecedented and really highlights the 'closing down' aspect of the tactic being on awkward having a huge effect), which was highly frustrating as I was hoping I'd manage an unbeaten league season at least. Couple more games in and my team is just playing like ***** now - scrapped a few wins together and draws but we're not even close to dominating as we were before the update. High number of injuries have recently occurred as well and I've been really fortunate with them over the past few seasons with only Depay picking up a major one keeping him out for 6 months, other than that it was the odd week or two for various players.
I'd normally blame myself for the short comings of my team and try and solve them, but all this has coincidentally happened after an update and after everything was going so swimmingly as well - it weren't as if I was scraping through my wins and was picking up losses every so often, I was literally mauling everyone in the league (88 goals in 28 league games, avg 3.1 goals per game), and having good success in Europe as well. I've currently got 5 key players out for between 3-6 weeks, and another 2 very good squad players out for around a month also. It has basically ruined all the hard work I had put into the season thus far and it has just left a very sour taste in my mouth as I don't get to play FM frequently as I used to, so when I do get to play for the couple of hours here and there, I don't want to have to be pulling my ******* hair out over something that's out of my control.
I know it's another post moaning about the patch and sorry for the rant, but I just needed to vent somewhere.
EDIT: For the record this is not a pop at SI, I'm sure when my tactics are fluid again everything will be as it was, it's just the timing of it coupled with me being a bit stressed and wanting to take the time out to enjoy the game for a couple of hours.
