I send an offer for a player lets say 100k...and i get a message back, that my 16k offer is rejected...i dont get it!!!!???
 
1-0 up at half time, controlling the game with relative ease. Tell the players not to get complacent, everyone but one player reacted positively with "gains focus" etc. Start second half and we concede two early goals and then lose 2-1 as the opposition become impossible to break down. Where is the logic?

Save game, clear cache, quit game, reload game and the problem should be fixed.

If not, go to SI forums, as this is a common and knowed issue
 
I'm pretty much reflecting what many others have said on here. If your team is better than the opposition, with better strikers, better attacking midfielders and a better goalkeeper, and you have 3 or 4 times the number of attempts on target during a match, most of the time you will win. Any of us who understand football will accept this as fact. The better teams create more chances, and win much more often than not. This is why Man Utd, Chelsea and Man City win the League, and Crystal Palace, Hull and Sunderland don't.

Why then, does this ridiculous game not comply with this simple rule? I'm fed up with battering inferior opposition game after game, only to lose to a goal in the last few minutes. I also don't want to hear any **** about these sorts of problems being solved with patches. The game should work properly from day one. If it isn't ready then it shouldn't be released. Of course I understand that games will always have bugs that only come to light once they've been played by lots of users, but something like this is so fundamental to the success of the game that it should have been sorted. If I bought a new car, and it didn't work in the way it should, would I be happy with the garage saying to me "it doesn't matter that your car doesn't work properly at the moment, because we'll fix it at some point in the future"? Of course I wouldn't, and the same applies here. Do your job SI, and stop embarrassing yourselves with sub-standard products.

Actually they dont win much more often that not. Its quite specific, its about 57% of the time you will win (more posession) and 71% (possession+ more shots on target) That's actually assuming you get everything right. So in a 60 game season, you can expect to lose about 18 times. They key is actually trying to a) improve that 18 games, or b) make sure they dont fall in key parts.

What you assume to be the case in football, is not that true at all. There is a reason top managers are paid what they are. **** Alex Ferguson made an entire CAREER out of winning games he should have lost.

This is a stat that is uniform through all levels of football staggeringly (real life not fm). The best managers are the ones who can work around that. Considering that people can still do that in FM despite the known issues, suggests that its something you might acually need to work on yourself.

My highest is 7 in a game so far..
 
What's wrong with SI? This game is not finished, they should release a new patch...I have som many shots and opponnet just a few, but mostly the game ends in a draw when I get a goal in the last minutes...It's so frustrating!
 
For everyone who's complaining about Full-Backs being garbage on FM14 there's a simple solution. DON'T PLAY WITH FULL-BACKS! Due to a horrendous injury list that wiped out virtually every full-back I had, apart from kids, I was forced to either play players out of position (can you imagine how they'd perform when specialists perform like they've never played the game before!) or play without full-backs. Obviously I chose the latter option, a la Guardiola at Barca, and am now on a 10 game unbeaten run! SIMPLES!
 
It seems that EA programmers are the same who work for SI. It's absurd the amount of goals which I concede at 45th and 90th, specially in games with only one leg (like finals).


I've just tried the Supercoppa Italiana final for 5 times and every time I lost it after the regular time (4 times at extra times and 1 time at penalties). My opponent was Juventus, this explains so many things.... After the 5th defeat I gave up.
 
Now you really are having a laugh!

...and you should've seen Whelpdale's 1st goal...beats 2 players as if they aren't there (well, they're defenders in FM14, so they may as well not be there!).....then chips the keeper from 25 yards! I didn't realise Messi had changed his name and was playing in League 1 for Gillingham!
 
90fps in Battlefield 3 on ultra.
60fps in Skyrim on ultra.
Can't run FM14 without crashing...
 
Extremelly frustrated. I have no clue if this is a bug or no but 5 away matches in a row...
Away against Inter 3:1 for me and the game ends 4:4 in the last 10 minutes (one of their players makes a hat trick for 5 mins)
Away against Napoli 2:0 until the 75th min and the game ends 3:2 for me as I score in the last min (2 goals from 30 meters)
Away against Atletico Madrid - 1:0 for me until the 80th minute - they beat me 2:1 (penalty and a free kick cross)
Away against Fiorentina - lose 4:0 - 3 penalties and one free kick cross
Away to Livorno - leading 1:0 until 76 minute when from two free kick I am getting 2 goals.

Every match their goal keeper is the man of the match. I have approximately 15-25 shots per game, around 4-5 CCCs, a lot of half chances. Controlling the game at home and at away. Yet I never get the result. Even at the 4:0 lose I had my players above 6.8 rating, only one CD with 4 rating.

I am doing 4-5 def set piece training per half a season.
Fouling is a part of my strategy so I can not really change it....

What the **** is going on???
 
does it seem ridiculous to anyone else that my team would give away 4 penalties in 4 games? I dropped 6 points because of this and it just is not realistic at all.

Frustration #2: 4 90th minute winners for the other team against mine last season. That, too, is completely unrealistic

I also had Phil Bardsley get sent off for two yellow cards 10 seconds apart from each other.

Does anyone else have these ridiculous problems?
 
The pens i'l give ya, but the other two have been known to happen..
 
Players getting through on goal and then side footing it about 30 yards wide!! how could you possibly do that? Its so annoying.

Hey Mike, if you are so intelligent, and you keep telling us we are so **** bad in this game, then you should apply the same to yourself, improve yourself and find a better job, instead of kissing someone's ***. I'm sure you could do better than this.

Well said.
This game is absolutely ****. It said to be more challenging but is more ****** then ever. SI said they fix transfers and contract negotiation but is the same ****. No matter what player you want to buy you have to pay more than any other club and give him a ridiculous wage . Its like a special offer for you. If your team is performing well in the middle of the season players will start asking for better contracts . same is in reality? they play a few games well and ask for new contracts?
And when you want to give them a new contract is not 10-20% more is 10-20 times more. From 1k/week to 20k/week and so on.
You manage a national team and you still talk like is a club team . " Great achievement for this club" ???? wtf? No matter what you achieve you're criticizes , why that is not selected why you selected so many from your club and so on , makes no difference if they play well or not. Reality? Challenging?
The game can not be even close to reality is a game.
No offense but who wants real challenges should get a real life cos that one is full of that.
This is a GAME and can not be even close to reality.
All the best.
