How are you doing this! Have you bought the only working game in the whole batch?!
 
No longer frustrated, I was handed a ?4mil transfer budget for Swansea and I'm pretty sure I didn't need to make a single signing but I made two (1.2 million for a cheap backup spanish player and he's so **** I forgot). Wage budget was arguably the biggest wall to securing what team I wanted, tried to get anderson on loan but the board just told me to "**** off".

I know I know it's VERY early in the season but I'm doing better than how well I did against Arsenal (easy fixtures so far, but I've been winning comfortably, and haven't put much effort into squad selection yet)

Anyway particularly impressed by my string of performances because I can beat most of the sides here and I'm hoping for a finish at 7th or 8th in the table!

How are you doing this??? Have you bought the only version that is working?
 
I'm not sure the problem lies specifically with the filter itself because even if you bid for a player, that the filter excludes, on a permanent deal/loan the player won't be interested even if they already play in the same league e.t.c. For instance, I just tried loaning a Leeds youngster in the U21s and he went to Salisbury in the same league as me but rejected me because he wanted to play at a higher standard. I haven't got many options available to sign at all. Infact, there's less than last season when I was in a lower league.

Edit: Just to clear up any confusion, when he rejected me, Salisbury weren't in for him - it was just me.

In that case raise it as a bug and upload the save. At the very least you will get an answer why.
 
Same **** as last year. The match engine is a worthless piece of trash yet SI keeps on insisting it's perfect. The game is inconsistent and downright frustrating in the extreme. After a decade I'm done with this franchise it's a pile of worthless **** now. Everything is about random dumb luck.
 
SI should forget all the extra add ons for a while and just concentrate on improving the match engine first.
 
Anybody else finding there is an unusually high amount of penalties in the game?
I've conceded 8 in 13 league games so far.

I'm not using 'Get Stuck In' or anything, so I really don't see what I'm doing wrong?!
 
Looks like we'll need to wait until January before the game is actually playable, as usual.

Bag of pish.
 
Wait, you can't even say "****" in the frustrations thread without getting an infraction? lol..........

Not with the context you used it in no.

There's people walking a fine line right now
 
It's a warm sunny day at Emirates stadium. Arsenal are 3-0 up after 20 minutes. They haven't really lost possession. The opposition can't get near the ball. No pressure whatsoever.

Suddenly, above the roar of the crowd, a lone voice cries out.

"RAAAAAARGH!!! DIE HARMLESS CENTRAL MIDFIELDER JUST OUTSIDE THE OPPOSITION PENALTY AREA!!!!!"

Shortly thereafter a random Arsenal player (usually Koscielny, Wilshere or Gibbs) attempts to break an opposition player in half with a double footed tackle from behind off the ball in a position the opponent could not possibly pose any kind of threat from.

And so Arsenal are reduced to 10 men...

WHY?????!!!!!! This was a problem in FM 2011, why do players still feel the urge to kill opponents when there's no reason they should even be slightly angry!
 
Some of you need to read the rules on swearing.

I've just issued warnings for now, but full infractions and, if need be, bans will follow.

I'm sad to hear all these bad stories about FM14. It was the reason why I bought FM13 really late in the season, because of all the bugs and haven't bought FM 14 (yet).

It should be really shameful for a game company that it releases a product which main focus (simulating matches) is so bugged. Specially when they have so much experience. You could say they need some better alpha/beta testing for their new games since it looks like it's happening with most FM versions.

So I read something about the AI not being as good as a human earlier in this thread. As you can see here I have only won two games so far this season. And the odd thing is that i went on holiday and my *** man was in charge in both games.

The other games they have played badly or thebigmentalbreakdowninfrontofgoalsyndrome got to the players. Hope there is a cure soon...
 
Dont you love things like this. Have a run of good wins and then get absolutely thrashed for no apparent reason. Same team, same tactics and then get thrashed. Ipswich were 4-0 up after 28 mins!!!

It's not as good as a human can be, but its still pretty good. That only shows the your *** man does a better job managing than you do.
 
Hahah, how much to they pay you to defend the state the game is in at the moment?

I admit they're not playing well. But that's the consequence of trying to find a tactic where there is a realistic amount of goals compared to chances created. You can admit that right? There is something wrong with the game, something that shoud've been taken care off before people paid up to 50€ for it.

Another possibility is of course that the AI have invented magnetic-like gloves for their goalkeepers, so every ball magicly comes straight at them.
