Hehe!

Gotta say, I'm really impressed so far - and I haven't even managed to play a match yet.

Every year, it still all feels kind of "familiar" despite whatever changes they introduce. You only see it as am incremental change rather than a while new game.

This year the changes seem to stand out, and the change to tactics is really making you rethink your approach. It's no longer a case of fiddling with sliders and hoping it works. You need to stop and think about how you want your team to play, and how you want each player within the team to play.

One of the biggest problems i have is people missing "Certain goals", Negredo, Aguero, Diego Costa & David Villa have all been pretty much 1v1 under 10 yards and put it wide.

It could be a bug the amount of times it has happened, anyone else?

Yep, I've had this too

Man marking was removed (the system not specific man marking) as it was anachronistic, and didnt really exist in football. All marking is zonal unless you use specific man marking (which is what actually happens in real life)

very respectfully how is man marking not part of football???

Italian football in the 90s?

 

[marciopip]

Just to add you can man mark in FM 14, in the player section in the right corner (under defending section) you have a option for your player to mark specific opposition player

Will there be an update for the Beta say next week? or do we have to wait until the game officialy comes out?

 

[Darandio]

The beta will generally be updated several times, to test newly found bugfixes. It already had one update yesterday to fix the windowed mode issues.

I'm enjoying this beta more than I did 13 beta so that can only be a good thing.
I like the tactic changes and the press conferences are not as annoying as they were before.
So far so good for me.

my only complaint:

Why do we have to see the final whistle in every single game????I understand it when the game is a "thriller", but it happens in all matches!!!This has been pretty annoying in FM 13 and obviously SI haven't seen it.

I don't see how it's an issue? It's like a 5-10 second highlight.. haha When teams win cups and competitions then sometimes special things happen at the final whistle, which is why I imagine you see the final whistle in every game. If that's your only complaint then the game must be pretty good

I actually love this feature as is allow us to hope and dream about scoring that late vital equalizer/winning goal more often insetad of just nothing showing up in the last 10 minutes

 

[Nelly6]

Sorry if this has been asked, but is there still a specific way of designating a playmaker/target man and target man supply? Or is it now just based on what instructions you give to the players you would have in these roles?

 

[Mahoney85]

yes I understand.It is ideal for finals and important matches that have one goal difference.But please tell me the reason why should I see that 5-6 or even 20 seconds of the added time when the score is for example 4-0?

Can anyone help....I just started up a game with Man U and I'm pretty sure I asked my assman to take care of match prep, I've keep getting msgs saying he is worried about match prep and I should review it. When I click staff responsibilities there is no option for me to select my assman to to run the match prep??

 

[Calum]

Went onto shopto earlier to get my code.

Type it in steam and I get Code Duplication error?! How?

Was looking forward to giving it a play aswell tonight Ah well can wait another 2 weeks to play the game since I wasnt going to start any proper saves anyway but still annoying!

You might have entered it incorrectly... I suggest you retry

It's under the 'Training' area of the 'Club' (not first team) staff responsibilities. Should say "First Team Match Preperation" and then one for your reserves too.
