My only annoyance is the game is nearly the same as last year, and the year before and so on. A few minor improvements but still largely the same, even some of the same bugs. (Crash Dumps)

I like the player conversations (still repetitive) but the players are not quite as **** as in 2013.
 
On football manager this year I've noticed that lots of players have decent stats but have 2.5 star potential e.g. Sandro and the bender brothers does potential actually matter? And it's annoying that you can't set a primary playmaker.
 
I am amazed crash dumps are still in this game after so long. Apart from that my only other complaint is that this game is too easy. I shouldn't be able to go to away to a team like Doncaster, 3 divisions above me away from home and play them off the park: http://i.imgur.com/XU3Kytg.png and also the amount of goals scored is just silly, http://i.imgur.com/F0Bfoo3.png. I know my tactic is pretty flawless and I spent a lot of time on it but still it shouldn't guarentee me to play teams off the park each game, even against those with far superior players.

I don't know, some players like Lukaku don't have good stats (Pretty average) but have high PA seem to perform very very well. And I even some players with low star ratings with good stats perform very well, so you really can't judge a player aptly without playing with them or watching them play, pretty much like real life, eh? :)

I dont know about crash dumps, I've had one in 5 years, and my laptop is rubbish. And yet I know people with really good systems who get them all the time. Odd

My laptop is **** and I get them a fair bit. Haven't had one since I changed to new file for each save though, doing that every game week. It sucks that I have to do that though just to avoid losing a save.

What leagues and how many players do you load?
 
Don't think the specs of the laptop/rig you use is too relevant, unless of course they're below the requirements. I think it's more often related to software than hardware, at least that's my impression from the sigames forum.

Usually 25-30k players. Several leagues but nothing unique

Even less than me. Is everything on your computer upto date? Sound card drivers, video card drivers, windows updates etc?

My PC is a beast, and it got quite a few but it seems to have tailed off recently. Not a big problem for me since I get FM to save weekly.
 
When I've had crash dumps, I kept facepacks, logos etc but removed custom skins. Problem solved.
 
So... the other two videos? Including Ronaldo? Also, I remember very specifically a horrific miss by yakubu at the world cup. It can happen, was my point. Players can make mistakes. Also, the match engine may well not be accurately demonstrating what it is intending, it may be a narrow miss, the player may be off balance, he might be just about to be tackled. I've not experianced this problem more than two or maybe three times, and both occasions were with a regen of finishing 7.
 
thought it was time to say my bit on the game so here goes
1st point.ME is terrible
2nd point Tactics dont work no matter what.
3rd point strikers are hopeless
4th point defenders are hopeless
5th point wingers are hopeless

i will explain my points in more detail
strikers do nothing in the game but miss easy chances.every shot from out side the box nearly always hits a opposition player then the ball moves about and you dont know whats going on.defenders run past the ball or decide not to go for the ball and just stand.wingers run down the wing and cut the ball back or try to beat players then shoot at the keepers near post instead of just passing to your striker for a tap in.
I have to say as someone who has played this game from the very start the game has went backwords big time.

1st point: It's better than all previous match engines. Collision detection alone gives it that much.

2nd point: Yes they do. Look over at the stories section, it doesn't take long to find a player who's got success.

3rd point: Subjective, depends on the level, and strikers are not going to score 30+ goals a season guaranteed like in previous versions, so obviously there's going to be a change from previous versions.

4th point: Considering the last point, this might be obsolete. But even so, it is possible to get good defenders to work, but it's not a plug and play version for defenders to do well, tactics changing, new players coming on, and them simply being outclassed are realistic. Watch match of the day and count how many defensive errors are shown by the analysts, if you feel this is unrealistic, poor decisions is something that happens.

5th: So… because your wingers seem to be greedy, all wingers are? Have you looked at the preferred moves of them? If they don't have "Looks for pass rather than attempts to score", then they are going to take a shot if they feel that they should. As for cutting back… that's a large part about wing play…

The game has gone forwards, it's no longer a plug and play game, and because of that, along with fewer match engine exploits, it is no longer a game you can dominate with no effort.
 
I have been reading this thread now for a couple of weeks now and I came to the conclusion. You get 3 kinds of people on this thread: 1. The people that generally have problems and want to make the game better (i like these people) 2. People that just ***** and moan (dont like you) 3. People that KISS ****!!! (you know who you are - dont like you).

Now dont be mad at SI, to come to think of it they are very consistent with this game....Why? Well every year the game comes out to EARLY (IMO), then it has a lot of bugs (the people that say it doesn't read this: Football Manager 2014 Bugs Forum ), then people complain and it is their right because they paid for something that doesn't work properly. For example, will you buy a vehicle thats got faults and be happy if they say we will fix it in the coming months, just use it like this for now.

BUT, like I said SI is consistent, so to all the people that moan, they should know by now: BUY THE GAME AFTER CHRISTMAS!!! Because every year the game comes out and every year there is bug and years year people ***** and moan and every year the game is fix by January.

So to the people:
- that generally wants to help make the game better - THANK YOU
- that ***** and moan - BUCK UP
- that KISS **** - GROW UP and GROW A BACK BONE.
 
Hey if your tactic is so flawless could you share it with me or post it? Cheers.
