Post Your Frustations Thread

[prescottrh]

Now I have benn critical, but I will admit when I see signs of improvement, Phil Bardsley just scored 2 goals in open play against Juventus and rated a 9.2 so kudos to Sigames for that. Anyone got a tissue handy, I need it to help clear up the blood from Bardsley's nose bleed?

So I take it it's not worth coming back to this yet. Seems there are more issues than ever.

If looking at the frustration thread( and similair threads regarding other things in life) and base your decision on that only, you will never be able to buy a single product in the future

He'll be able to make an informed choice. People are not complaining about poor graphics here, these are game breaking issues.

In my example, he won't as he will only get the response from those that are frustrated

I actually have it already. I was sick and tired of testing the game myself though and becoming frustrated with it so I gave myself a temporary ban from it. Getting the feedback from other players is what I'll be basing my decision on. It really destroys my love for the game going to play it and realising there are so many issues to the point where it's pointless building a massive project because by the time the fixes come out, I'll have to start from scratch anyway.

If you ask me the whole game has gone to pot..cant get an editor to make up my own scenarios, if i want an in game editor i have to pay through the nose for it, where it used to all be free, too much reading now...the endless reading, sigh! i feel like i am plowing my way through the full and un-expedited version of War and Peace, rather than playing a computer game. I spend hours making up tactics and i have yet to see any of my players actually carry out any of them. I had one game, playing a far inferior team in a cup game, where my team had 47 shots at goal and on target, hitting the post/crossbar 17 times..and drawing 0:0...really..At times, as is reported on here, it doesn't matter what you say to your players, nothing changes their mind or pacifies them and its like listening to the wife..the very reason i play computer games is to get away from all that..they should of included an "f--you" box, i have found myself selling them, no matter how good they might be, just to stop the endless nagging!...My only wish would be, "if only it was that easy with the wife"..i could write my own version of War and Peace going on at how bad, difficult to enjoy, money-grabbing and hard-work this game has got, which is a shame, because i am an old git and have been playing this since the days of old, when it first came out, when i used to spend not hours, or even days, but weeks immersed in my bedroom (before the days of the nagging wife, when i only had mummy to contend with) enjoying the best computer game on the planet, on my Amiga 500....such a crying shame it has come to.."this"..i shall not be buying FM 2015 ..good bye old friend, its been a pleasure playing you, but with all your "pay for this, pay for that" you have got too **** expensive and the fun no longer exists...

Have to say... completely agree. The hours that you can spend on tactics and see players not do anything you want. I won the premier league without once using a shout - what is the point of having them?? Same with team talks - I say the same thing every game and every game get almost the same reaction - again, what's the point?

I feel they have over-complicated things for the sake of innovation but actually most of what they have added is either superficial or makes the game worse.

They need to strip it back and work on fixing the match engine. Oh yeah, and release a game that actually WORKS, like right from the off and doesn't need 3/4 patches before they eventually give up...

In summary:

- Low rates
- Weird goals (only way to score)XD
- The best keeper of the world plays always against you, yet with different names
- 1 x 1s need fixing
- Free kicks are only used to take paint from the wood, if you have at least 21 in the skill

When i shoot 20 times, 10 defended, 5 blocked and only 5 going away (in the 1x1s), let's say 3 CCCs, and i see the other team whith the ball for more than 10 seconds, i know im going to suffer a goal, and that's is, IMO breaks the fun: you don't know when you are going to score, but yes, you know when they are, and there's nothing you can do about it...

I am over Injuries. Im averaging 1-2 serious injuries each game, 5-6 players each game get a "knock". As Man Utd RVP has been out 3 times. JONES is out, VALENCIA, KAGAWA, ANDERSON, EVRA, FELLAINI, CARRICK, NANI (multiple times), EVANS, PAPADOPOLOUS, FABIO & RAFAEL. Its over the top

There was a injury fix editor file created for last year, ive been using with FM14, I've had some injuries but nowhere as bad as the original beta release week. I think its still for d/l iun the fm 13 other files section on here.

a frustration of reviewers rather than the game but seeing the volume of hate towards this years version (it happens with most FM release of the last few years, and I agree with most of it) I cannot understand why every reviewer gives the game 9/10. Are they being paid to fudge the marks??

Reading a few pages on this thread just shows you how much this game means to football fans.

Is the game perfect only a week after the release? No, and you shouldn't expect it.

I'm in my first save and playing with Real Madrid. I know, being in charge of Madrid is not a big challenge, but as my favourite team I always start with them to get to know the game. I see many users in here teaming up and blaming SI for the performance of their full backs. Marcelo has a 7,7 rating in february, playing fantastic in both ends of the pitch. Sergio Ramos as the opposite full back has 7,15. I've conceded 13 goals and scored 57 in 22 matches, so turning posession into goals is not hard, but I also spend time looking at how my tactic is working, not just blaming SI. Having Bale, Ronaldo and Isco also helps..

The fact that the "tactic bars" are gone is great. Yes, it was fantastic and made FM into the best game in the world, but it is not realistic.

Defensively I would recommend not having you assistant manager setting up opposition instructions as they will often collide with your overall game plan.

But most of all, stop complaining. It sounds ridiculous to blame SI for everything in the world, as not everyone is struggling. And why some of you think that the tactical engine is any different for player to AI is beyond me.

To be fair, on this thread most are complaining about the same thing - doesn't suggest it's petulant players, rather, bad programming. And I do think it's gone on too long now, we as consumers have invested a lot over the years and recently SI have been letting people down, badly. I haven't bought it this year and I won't until there are serious changes. Got a good save going on an old version

Frustrated for proper reasons, not silly issues about the choice of music or poor graphics here and there. If he didn't read them and followed your advice he would end up with a sub standard game promoted by those who are simply meandering apathy, bend over and take it from the heel types.

Not sure, do they have full page adverts in the magazine or rolling ads on the website that gives the reviews?

Quite a lot of reviews were written during the beta when the game was actually semi-functional.

I am sorry but using Real Madrid is an example is pretty much bullshit. Due to their players they can pretty much swat anyone aside no bother, regardless of how **** the ME is reacting. Try playing with semi-decent side with a bit of work to do and see how you get on.

Yes we should, just as I'd expect to pay for a cheeseburger and get a cheeseburger.

No one says we do, this is an assumption by you that some how you know better than the rest of us with your stirling Real Madrid team.

No, 1st its a frustrations thread so that is the point, 2, as a paying customer I have the right to complain, 3rd this whole thread is full of screenshots proving how the AI scores from 1 chance against a player having 30 chances. Not 1 chance against 6 or 7 but 30. If you cannot see a problem with this then you are a fool, I suggest you take your false pragmatism and jog on your apathetic easy life Madrid user.

Finally, no-one here seems to be blaming SIgames for world famine, terrorism, homophobia, racism or any of the other worlds ills, we are simply blaming them for releasing a sub-standard game at our financial cost so please, in fact pretty please with a cherry on top. Do one.

Seriously, come on here using Real Madrid in one of the most unbalanced leagues in the world and claim all is well? You muppet.

I am the ultimate FM fanboy and you all suck!!! XD

Actually, that may be somewhat [FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]presumptuous. I have scaled back to FMC as I found the unending addition of more and more and more options in the full game just got really annoying. [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Especially[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, sans-serif] the media options and post match interviews etc...
[/FONT]
I do hate the FMC purchasable items like paying real world money to increase your bank balance, unlimited scouting, remove work permits. I'm sure you can just cheat somehow rather then pay up.

I definitely agree that the Beta should have come out earlier (if this was possible) so more stats / bugs could have been checked out by SI. It seems that the Beta ME was constantly flipping from one extreme to the other.

I've started laughing at the terrible shooting of world class players. 6 yards out and it goes out for a throw in!! YES! This is FM!!! (6)

 

[LazyBoySC]

I appreciate that this is the 'Frustrations' thread, but the amount of abuse that's being aimed at SI & anyone who tries to actually talk to someone about their frustrations is absurd.

At least act like adults when you talk about your frustration instead of throwing your toys out of the pram guys, come on.
