I think this patch needs to come out sooner rather than later. Otherwise my fist is going through my screen. Attackers just run around my defenders!! It's ridiculous. Not being funny but they have a year to make this game. **** sake, we all pay our money for the finished product not something that needs to be fixed. Disgusting.
 
I know what people are saying and I completely sympathise with them. But, honestly, hand on heart. Si havent don that bad of a job, I know I know, attack me for all of the ME issues. BUT, just you go and try and play Rome 2 Total War.... Ha...Now I know you've done it..... You see my point... the graphics are like Lemmings on the Atari or Amiga (anyone remember those?).

Theres alot wrong with this game, and I have been more than tempted to go back to FM 2011. The last one I truely enjoyed, but it will get better. We have to adapt, we have to change... WE have to realise what is working and what isnt.

My thought of the day...

Possession does not not equal success
 
I pray they fix the defending in the match engine, a player of mine just walked backwards from the half way line marking a player all the way to the peno spot only for him to obviously shoot and score, this is with hassle opponents and get stuck in on...
 
There is so much wrong with this game when playing a match. Im liverpool and im conceding in the 2nd half so many goals. i go in at half time leading 2 or 3 nil and end up losing. The defenders are ***** especially the full backs and sturidge is a waste of space. i have restarted this game 4 times now and the same things happen over and over no matter what i do. ive been knocked out of the 2nd round of the carling cup on every occasion by even ******* teams than this l'pool one, from teams from the 1st division! i hope another thread comes out soon to rectify the problems in this game because its ******* me right off.

They have really only had 6-8 months to make this game, they lost 4-6 months fixing FM13 to a somewhat playable standard.
With this they have probably spent 5 months making shiny menus, buying a new car, removing sliders, moving to bigger houses, adding more boring press questions, going on a nice holidays and faffing about adding other essentially unnecessary fluff.
It's a snowball effect, I expect FM15 to be much worse in all honesty because its going to take a minor miracle to save FM14.
 
I just want to chime in, complaining - YES, COMPLAINING - about the most frustrating game, not of the series, but actually a video game in general, I've ever played. There's something horribly wrong about it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not claiming to be an expert at FM, I used to be quite decent at the previous ones, but as the game progressed I started getting lost how to actually set a proper tactic. And that one comes straight back at me this year, and on top of that - there's the awful ME. As the complaint has been set already in the thread, I won't be saying anything different. The amount of comebacks, regardless of them being late or whenever, is unbearable. Incompetent strikers, incompetent defenders, it seems they can't actually adapt to the opposition's changes that they make while the match is in progress. Playing Juventus against Genoa, dominating first half - no goal, second half goes underway, Genoa decides to go attacking - voila, they score, and even when I change to the most defensive strategy and shout-outs possible, I can't seem to stop them.

However, it seems the usual response is "don't play", or "don't buy the game/sell the game". How does that do anything? SI are responsible for what they are selling, and other games being broken at launch doesn't actually make SI's guilt disappear. It would be like, if I sold you a broken product, and then went and say "well, there are other people doing so(selling broken products), besides nobody made you buy it". Now, that's some messed up response. Especially given that it's a common occurance, not just some minor issues with a few people playing the game. SI are responsible for what they are selling, nowhere did they mentioned in the game description, before people buy it, that the game engine is broken, and that your strikers will just refuse to score and your defenders will refuse to defend. See, if people were warned about it, then SI can't take any blame - they warned us, but, as far as I recall, they did advertise the game as a good product, which it clearly isn't, at least not in its current state.


So, please, stop defending SI as if they have no fault in this. They made the game, they advertised it as a good, finished product and it's nobody's fault, but theirs. It's not my fault that I want to play a game they advertised as playable, which turned out to be otherwise.

Can't see how anyone can defend a company releasing a product that doesn't work properly. It's not like these problems are small problems, how did SI not see them? If they did why did they release the game knowing these problems were in there? The argument that this happens every year is a terrible one, what about the average consumer who doesn't read these forums and goes out to pay full price for a broken product. Every year SI advertise the upcoming FM as having a "New and improved match engine!" But every year the match engine comes out broken, how is this not illegal?

SI really need some competition because they are taking the ****. If you can't do all the work in a year stop doing yearly releases, just release transfer updates until the the next game you produce is the final finished product, or one that at least works.
 
I'll tell you what my frustration is: people who decide you are defending someong because you have a green name and you dont decide to rant, and instead offer a balanced opinion on something. Because apparently in the current world of gamers you are either on one side or the other, even though this is actually some fictional set by people who only want to hear things that validate their argument (regardless of how flawed it is)

My second frustration is people who complain the game isnt playable for them until the final patch, yet continue to buy it on release day (especially without playing the demo). Why? use your head for gods sake. How about trying it before you commit money to it, it'd save you spending 30 quid and being miserable. I've waited 6 years for total war 2. didnt buy it, because I knew what it would be like, so I save my money, will wait a couple more months and be happy.

Also people chucking out the world unplayable: 25,000 are currently online playing this as of 9:10am...

I'm back on 2013 but for every release, I have always said "I'm not buying it this year until 3rd patch" but then I end up buying it and being disappointed so really I can't complain, I knew I shouldn't have bought it this early but I know SI will come good eventually and I want to support them by buying the game even though its a P.O.S. right now, it will come good, until then it's 2013 for me.

How do I know? Because I raised the bug issue myself. When you post in a constructive manner, you tend to get a good reply from them. If you are rude, you'll probably get ignored.

Well if you accuse SI of sabotage, you're highly likely to have your posts removed, and thats no real surprise. You couldnt get away with that in a shop, what makes you think you could do it just because you're on the internet?. Dunc on here works for SI. If you were to say that to him, he'd probably kick you from this forum, because frankly its incredibly rude, and attacks his integrity.

The funny thing is. They have repeatedly said they are fixing it in fact they are working on an update, but it wont be ready for the next few days at least, because he is getting it prepped for their internal testers to stress.

They have done about 6 or 7 clear updates on where the game is. They have an entire feedback thread on this. You cant miss it, its about 25 pages long.

Learn to play isn't mutually exclusive to having bugs tbh, I could say that to about 40% of the complaints on here.

There will always be bugs in games. Total war 2 has has 7 patches. SEVEN. Still got issues. Battlefield 4 is just a lolfest at launch. If things like that annoy, don't buy them at release.

Truth there, I don't buy FM till Jan as these problems are so consistent.

And thus you save yourself a headache. we can argue back and forth about the state of a game. But if you know the release version will annoy you, let it be.
 
garhhhhhh, i started save with crewe alexandra in league 1 only to find out my star player is leaving on a free transfer! -.- Max Clayton so with interest from premier league clubs im trying to push a big value sale through, more to the point would be perfect if i could keep him tbh so is there a way to do that?!

I feel exactly the same man. ME is so broken right now that it's impossible to play the game without becoming angry. I've read the SI forum and many ppl have the same problem. It's ridiculous and boring. Every year the same thing. Of course I can't complain because I've bought the game, but still: what is the point of releasing a game when it's not completed at all? We, as players should receive money from SI for reporting these awful bugs that a blind man would see.
I use normal tactics, nothing complicated, set my players accoring to their roles and I simply can't win. Of course, there are some wins, but rather because of luck. I feel like being taken in, where is my money?
 
What a load of horseshit.

That is another thing I don't understand. I should've had a lot more cards, with that amount.
 
I swear this is the worst FM I ever played and I'm playing this game since fm 07. Not only the match engine sucks but they over simplified the game. How do I set up zonal marking? How do I instruct my team to lose time more frequently? How do I instruct my wingers to make ground crosses and not normal crosses? How do I define the supply to my target man? How do I define one main playmaker even if I playing one center midfield as a deep lying playmaker and an offensive mieldfielder as attacking midfielder, traquertista or engache (who also organize game)? Instead of giving us more options to put our team according to our ideas, they took already existing options in previous FM's. It seems that the persons responsible for making FM 14 don't understand jack squat of football. SI seems more eager to try to please to gamers that play FM but aren?t really fans of football or don't understand it. First was the new Classic Mode (i really doubt that people who really want to play FM would ever abdicate of some aspects of the game) and now the oversimplified tactics. Simply this game sucks.
