This might seem off-topic, but I think it's worth addressing the confusion about why you might appear to dominate a game while not getting the result you feel you should. These aren't "bugs," and they won't be fixed in a patch that addresses bugs. Slump logic has been around for years (as has "dominating games but not scoring" logic). I'll (shamelessly) offer the following thread as far as that goes:
http://www.fm-base.co.uk/forum/foot...derstanding-preventing-slumps-bad-form-3.html

The above guide is for FM2013, but much of it still holds up for the sorts of issues we see people post screenshots to represent.

But generally speaking, here are 3 short rules for those experiencing those problems:
1. 20 shots does not = 20 good scoring opportunities.
2. Having good players does not = "I should be winning games"; the context in which games and tactics are played matters more.
3. Use the (admittedly confusing and limited) tools you have for dealing with important but partially-hidden/totally hidden attributes: confidence, motivation, morale.

I had just created an awesome tactic about a week before the patch (without using a corner cheat) but the new patch seems to have destroyed it a little. Still dominating but not as many goals scored and a lot more conceded particularly from corners, free kicks and long punts up field. Frustrating because none of the tweaks im trying are working. No doubt as soon as ive cracked it and winning consistently again they'll release a new patch and ill be back to square one. I can definitely see why people get frustrated.

I'm having the exact same problem. Attacking wise, I'm doing as well as before but defending is woeful. I've yet to find a solution but the only way I'm getting by now is by outscoring. ( I know technically that's the in and out of football but it's 5-4 etc)

I don't think you can resolve that with tactical change, my defenders are like sticks, so is my GK. Wilfried bony got the ball from a misfired throw by my Fullback, he has 13 pace/acc, my FB has 16/17, he ran all the way back but didn't even tackle, Bony ran all the way to my goal freely, no player even closing him down, and passed to Dyer who score a curler from his right foot from right flank. Physics?

I may start buying this game after the final patch in future.

Lots of people with you on this.

Need to start treating each FM edition as a game for Feb to Feb rather than the current Oct to Oct

Many times I had a player with "Abysmal" morale in the subs who scored and won the game for me by going in after 60th mins. It's actually funny 'cause the last time this happened I could even guess that he'd score. I guess you really, really, never, ever experience such things in your games so you don't realise how uneffective those so-called-variables things are. No, no, no need for discussions, I'm sure you're right, just stating an observation. (A)
 
Wanted to create a proper tactic for weaker teams but no matter how much tweaking I do, I'm conceding ridiculous amounts from set pieces, both corners and free kicks, and it seems that the opponents' direct free kicks always hit the bar and their striker is there for the simple tap in.

My keeper either acts like Boruc (arsenal first goal) or Lloris (spurs first goal). Was pretty sure that these problems didn't exist previously. All i can say is SIGHHHH...
 
In my 9 years of playing this game I never complained about the match engine. Last year's game was a nightmare for me, the crash dump error made 2013 the worst game ever. This till now! Right from the start I didn't liked the game but somehow managed to start a save and keep it. 3 years managing Juventus, till the new update came in and ruined the game for me. 6 months into the 4th season and BOOOM, the board sacked me(first time ever). It's like, 7 wins, one defeat against a middle level team and the whole season goes down the drain. The player morale is freaking ridiculous, they go from superb to poor in 3 games. Give me a freaking break . I'm sick of waiting for the spring patch to play the game. I wanna play in november, not 4 months after i buy the game!!! A disgrace, a f****** disgrace!!!
 
I wonder is this kind of reaction same in SE forum? And if so, they must be notice a lot of us really not happy with this situation. Im nothing good with we buying this game early. It happen on fm2013 and then now it happen again. Im curious what respond they give to us about this situation
 
One thing that happens all too often is when an opposition player runs at defense and my defenders tackle him, he dispossess the ball and the ball ALWAYS travel down to opposition's player for him to bang it in, while my Keeper stands there like a stick.
