I'm fed up of Football Manager - this is the 3rd one in a row that I've bought that I've completed lost interest in because of it's complete and utter shitness.
Firstly - the updates. They're so ******* obvious. I had a good team, playing well, settled, happy, fit. I'm away for a week in real life, there's an update to the game, suddenly my players can't pass, they can't shoot, they can't defend, I lose 6 of my squad to long term injuries, I have a sending off every single game and I go from top half contenders to rock bottom. On top of this, every team you come up against after one of these updates plays like Brazil, even if they're ******* Torquay United.
Secondly - the tactics. I've played this game for years, and for the life of me still cannot create a good tactic, it's not intuitive at all, it doesn't make footballing sense. Why is "hiting early crosses" and "looking for the overlap" mutually exclusive? Where is the setting for a midfielder to say, "yes, by all means, have a shot now and then, but not when you're ******* 40 yards out with 2 runners ahead of you". Where is the setting to player not to wait for 5 seconds with the ball at his feet near the corner flag before he hits a cross...when the ****** hits the ball against the defender who's got to him.
Thirdly - the match engine...a striker will never shoot when running away from goal at a weird angle 40 yards out...why do they in FM? Similarly, an opposition player will never force your keeper in to a save while running away from goal at a weird angle 30 yards out...it just doesn't happen, not even Ronaldo can do that kind of ****. 2 players on the same team wont follow each other round all match in real life...teams will not have 4 shots on target in the opening 3 minutes of a game...what world do SI live in?
I just can't be bothered with the game any more - I want it to be challenging, but it's got to the point where it's just pointless.
