I'm about 2 1/2 seasons into my first save on FM15. Loving the game so far, haven't played since 13 so it's quite different!
Anyway, onto a big problem I've noticed - not sure if it's just my team or what but I'm finding holding on to leads incredibly hard.
Just played a game where I was 4-1 up at 65 minutes..The match ended 4-4 and they could easily have won it in extra time but my 'keeper pulled of a great save.
Now, I've tried a whole lot of different things
- I've tried playing more defensively (obviously)
- Tried setting "control" mentality and retain possession
- Tried Harder tackling / tighter marking
- Leaving everything the same
And a host more things including formation tweaks, subs at various times... Yet still, game after game I could be 3-0, 4-2, 5-1 or anything and somehow, the opposing team will become world beaters and claw their way back..
To give you an idea of the extent of the problem - In 2 1/2 season - I've only ever won a game by more than 1 goal ONCE.. ONE GAME where I have had +2 goals..
SO my question is, how the **** do you hold on to a lead? I've tried so many different techniques.. Nothing is working at all, I'm so sick of being 100% in control of a game, dominating all stats and then out of nowhere all opponents become Ronaldo and it's either a very hard fought win, a draw, or a loss..
