after playing a few more games in really focusing on the game, tactics etc I am still not happy with the game.. yes the Hull game I lost 4:0 to was partly down to my approach and the lack of time watching it to try and counter opposition threats.. however, I have experienced some truly shocking results with the same players and similar tactics especially against the smaller teams and especially away from home!
Some games I completely dominate and I play some of the most amazing football I have seen in any Fm (designing a very quick/fast/possession tactic) which is doing well
The game against Chelsea I went in to shut up shop but hit on the counter.. I have never felt so helpless in all my life.. I was just getting battered left right and centre and nothing I did made ANY difference to the game. tried changing tactics, players, instructions.. nothing helped at all.. probably one of my worst defeats in a game
Yes you can say I was outplayed, no doubt I was.. but nothing changed anything
The Spurs game was just one open game, it was great to watch but my players missed so many easy chances like 1v1 with no one in sight and miss the target completely or hit it straight at the keeper.. Spurs chances were saved brilliantly a lot of the time by Reina (I am Liverpool) he kept us in the game
Its just very frustrating how at one point you are dominating and the next you get THUMPED! Its very volatile and no matter what approach you use, it seems as though you have already lost before the game is started.. just hope you dont concede more than 1 goal..
I also just got humped by West Brom away from home! 3:1
I was completely dominated again from the first whistle
I also noticed a lot of suspect goals and ruled out goals for offsides.. Not sure if its just me but seems a lot.
I am not having problems with injuries or cards to be honest and also the players are really pathetic! I said to a player give me a season to get Champions League (I took over Pool 3rd season and they finished 14th/8th respectively)
the next day I get a transfer request saying I have not delivered on my promise.. its been one day! Same thing happened when I promised another player I would get in good players... I either have very emo players or something is not right..
@Mike, I do agree with what you said the other day bud.. looking back at it now.. I did not have enough info or time spent on the game to really warrant what I was saying.. I was just ****** off at the time that after having such a great pre-season against good teams that I got hammered so badly...
Overall I still think that there are huge problems with the game but also some improvements.. Going to not play much again for the next several months but I am still disappointed that the game is not as good as it was.. Yes you can say that I am only not enjoying it as I am losing some of the games, quite badly at that.. but even when I win its not great because I know that the next game is going to be a loss or a complete Random result which usually favours the AI
