i think you're just meant to lose and there is nothing you can do about it sometimes. i won my first leg champs league quarter against barca 3-0 at home. return leg, low and behold i am 5-0 down after 30 mins and heading out. i manage to come back to 5-2 so am going through on away goals as it is tied 5-5. we get to the 90th minute, and there are 3 mins of extra time added, during these 3 mins there are no injuries, no subs and i do not use time wasting tactics. they have a shot and miss so it is my goal kick and the clock ticks past the extra 3 mins and as with every other match you have ever played on FM your goalie boots it and the ref blows full time and happy days you are through. But no, my goalie who has distribute to defenders selected decides to go against this and boot it, oh well the full time whistle will go, but no it doesn't and i lose the header, the ball breaks to Rafinha on the halfway line, the clock well over the added 3 mins and the ref still doesn't blow, my players keep him on his right foot as i have told them too as he is a left foot only player, some how he pulls out a decent cross using his right foot into the box, but don't worry i have Vermaelen (183cm, 15 jumping, 14 strength) and Balanta (182 cm, 14 jumping, 17 strength) against Messi (169cm, 6 jumping, 8 strength) and Bojan (175cm, 7 jumping, 8 strength), they should easily win that header, but no, they don't even attempt to challenge for the header like every normal centre back does in the 94th min of a game you're clinging on to, oh but it's ok they haven't challenged either, lucky me, but instead just let it bounce off of Bojans back straight into the path of Messi 6 yards out to smash it in and win the tie for them..... Oh and yep it's in the 94th min, 1 min over the original added time for no reason.

Seriously what are you meant to do????
 
Olympique Marseille. Won last game 4-0, no thanks to the strikers (a hat-trick by Valbuena whom I've put in the first 11 after he came from a 3 month injury with 50% match fitness), obviously can't expect poacher and AF strikers to shoot, after all no manager worth a salt signs strikers to bag goals. Next match- an experiment. Same tactic, same squad, save right before the match. First take- 0-0. Load, play again, let's see what happens. Same reaction from the players, everyone reasonably motivated as before. 4 minutes into the game, losing 0-2. GG.

You cant just expect your tactic to play well against every team, you need to develop it depending on the oposition.
 
I'm so mad, I don't know where to start...

WHAT THE ****!!!! he recovers from injury, he's fine, 98 percent conditioning... AND HE BREAKS HIS ******* ARM AFTER FRACTURING IT A MONTH BEFORE!

And now we come to the King of Injuries, Robin Van Persie, he literally gets an injury every three games, he hasn't trained since... I forgot... because I rest him after EVERY match to prevent these injuries.

I decided not to sell him and turning down a £20M bid from Dortmund in my first season because I couldn't find a replacement after I sold Rooney to R. Madrid, I bought Ballotelli recently, and if you want Mario to perform to his abilities you need a two man partnership imo until you can get his PPM's fixed, so I decided RVP and Mario were perfect for each other (they are..., there assisting each other like there is no tomorrow :D)

But I have to push Adnan up to play with Mario when RVP is recovering from his 'bruises'. Last season he was the Premier League's top goalscorer with 25, then after christmas he got injured constantly and he never exceeded 25 goals, he hit 25 goals in January too. Next season Mario will be the only first choice striker and I will have Mata and Isco behind him.

I can't expect the same tactic with the same players and same morale to work against the same team? What if I crashed? And that happens quite often. I recall in my Tottenham save having the same problem, drawing or getting a small win in an important away match, crashing, loading a pre-match save, getting battered 3 or 4-1. The lack of consistency is just staggering. There is no such thing as consistency or a run of good form.

What's even more frustrating is that even when I win, I hate my wins. In FM 2013 i could draw 0-0 and still be sattisfied with my team. In 2014 I watch all the situations and all the goals, and though I might be winning 5-0, I hate my team for the way they're playing. ****, I score more goals from direct free kicks than corners or one on one actions by a striker. Not in friendlies, mind you. In pre-season friendlies, despite the fact that team cohesion, tactics familiarity etc are pretty ****, the game flows well. There are some passes, some crosses, some chances missed, some are on target, almost like in an actual match. In league matches everything is just utter chaos, and not like the GoT "chaos is a ladder", this chaos is just a bottomless pit of despair. It's like the match results are actually predetermined before the match and the ME just shows you the draw results in a more annoying way. Your tactic adjustments and player substitutions might delay the inevitable, but like cheeks has said, the game will still knock you on your *** in the last shot from the last set piece of the last minute of the match.

The thing that gets me is you were complaining as if there was something wrong with the game.
 
Just lost in the first round for me (4th round overall) in the FA cup to Peacehaven.

The manager was so angry that he felt god (Me) ragequit. Need to figure out some tactics that work.

Yeah I think it's a bit of bug, that. They're working on it.

Unlucky. Keep at it!
 
I have just left Bayern after a few seasons at things just didn't seem to work. won the league a couple of seasons ago by about 22 points, however joust been in huge decline ever since. This year 2nd for most of it behind Dortmund, 8 draws, 3 losses. I just got battered 6-0 by Arsenal away, then beat them 3-0 at home then lost to Stuttgart away in the league 4-2. they were 20 points behind me as well. I just feel that FM14 is very inconsistent in comparison with previous FM. is it just that I cannont figure out this game or is this extremely difficult?

That depends how well you understand the game and tactics. FM isn't inconsistent. Wrong management can make you as a team inconsistent though.
