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.

What group are you in?

And to your point about buying the game after Christmas....are you serious?
I buy the game I expect it to work straight away, maybe the odd missed bug is acceptable but not this amount.
Frankly I think it's absolutely scandalous that SI continually release unfinished unplayable games, what good is collision detection if the core of the game is broken?
And yes I would buy a vehicle that's got faults and be happy if they said we 'will fix it' in the coming months, IF I was told it had faults. I did not see a warning saying this game is f**ked!
 
Oh ok cool, are you talking about the keepers or the own goals?

the keepers, unless you mean keepers giving away own goals too by walking back across the line (also known and fixed)
 
I just lost to Tottenham after conceding 3 penalties, all of which were deemed dubious and all of which showed my players getting the ball on the 3D pitch (which I of course take with a pinch of salt).

I wasn't even offered a post-match interview so I couldn't even rant about it. Also all 3 penalties were conceded within 51mins. Truly bizarre and truly takes the pi?wasser
 
Why is this game even out yet
The makers of the game really do not have a clue, they release the game with so many problems its an absolute joke....why do it? Why not wait till the game is finished with no ridiculous problems people have to wait weeks to be resolved, who wants to play on a who goes out and buys a game expecting it to be half finished or with so many problems its unplayable. Who ever the creators are should be ashamed of them selves and if I knew it was going to be this bad I would never have bought it, there's nothing fun about this game in the slightest, it's just frustrating how ridiculous it is this year
rant over
 
The game has bugs, but I think people here are exaggerating it. The more shots yet not scoring thing happens a lot in reality too, for eg UCL final 2012, Chelsea sat back. It's not that easy to break down packed defenses, put up random players and a tactic you like and expect results. I'm very disappointed at the corner exploit, though, takes out the fun of the game.

Striker problem is there, yes, but last year every other striker was getting 30-40+ goals a season, SI tried to solve it and it got a bit worse.

Fullbacks do fudge up once and twice but that happens when the opposition player's good at dribbling, for eg like Hazard, made fool of Zabaleta recently(the only one I actually have a picture of in my mind), I don't get all the talk about fullbacks not tackling at all, Ashley Cole and Azpilicueta are among my best performers ATM as my attack is fumbling, my defense is saving games for me. They're tackling, overlapping, coming back to defend, intercepting. I play them as Fullbacks not CWB.

The Goalkeeper issue from last year's game seems resolved as I did not concede a buttload against league 1 team when playing my backup keeper.

The injuries aren't as frequent and serious as they were in FM13 (I've only gotten injuries of 4-5weeks max till now, frequency is less too). No more 2-3 months injuries destroying upto 5 players.

My players aren't giving up the ball on little pressing.

And away games are difficult even in reality, small teams make big teams pay, like City's recent away form. People just want the game to be easy so they can just win?

And the late goals do seem bit worse but again, not as bad. I've lost one game even when I was leading by 2-1 till 80th minute, changed to counter, conceded a goal, did overload, conceded one more. I've also drawn one because of this (I'm just starting with FM14) but it always seem to be a mistake by defender, who's condition is usually lower than 75-70%, SI tried to apply this but made it a wee bit extreme? They get feedback, they try to resolve things, his isn't an ideal world.
 
The Hints and Tips shown when loading are from FM 13, and some of them don't apply any more. This is laziness from SI.

I am in the group that buys the game knowing it is going to be **** and playing it....knowing that by christmas it will be fixed. Unfortunately I am one of those people wanting to buy the game as soon as it comes out.

And like I said "every year the game comes out to EARLY (IMO)"
 
Was never great at tactics but now the long short bug has made me quit the game till we get an update.Anyone here knows when the update is out ?? Last time i am buying this game early.The most absurd thing is that the beta was not that bad.
 
The main problem with certain games (for example the Champions League) is that, whatever team you are, there will always be a stronger one. Doesn't matter you are Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munchen.
 
Bastarding penalties for perfect tackles in soooo many games. I know we get it in real life but this is ridiculous. My good friend Mr 9-Iron is about to smash the **** out of my computer soon.

What?...Oh no biggie, Just managed to hit the woodwork 6 f***king times....SIX!!!... On one occasion sturridge ran with the ball INTO the woodwork... No he didnt shoot, HE RAN, WITH THE BALL, INTO THE WOODWORK, to go for a corner, that ward-prowse managed to singlehandedly convert into a goal kick....
.
I see no issues with this game though, perfect release.... good job SI,,, good F***CKING job
 
It is not possible to have a great season. I have tried at least 20 tactics, some were among the bests in this site, always the same thing. I haven't even been able to collect 90 points in a single season in my 3 seasons.

Defending is such an extreme joke that other than a handful of tactics, you will most likely be unable to defend at all. It is so obvious that I don't even need to explain it. With one tactic I almost "never" let anyone pass, with a very similar one any of my players aren't able to stop anyone. It's just the game relies on some tiny magical points that if you are able to hit them you get it right and everything works out for you, if you even missed it by an inch, you fail miserably. This is so unrealistic that it actually hurts my brain. There is no such thing in real life, it's not even possible to create a remotely successful tactic without testing it like there is no tomorrow. In real life there is no such diversity, there is no magical points that can affect things like day and night. You simply tweak things and most rely on your players. But this game is nothing but a junk of codes that fuzzy logic has no meaning in. If the AI were also like this I would accept things, but it's not. In my 3rd season Chelsea is so incredible that they may break a dozen of records. Why should I accept it and say you can't will them all, when AI is doing the exact same thing? Also, have we forgotten Arsenal's winning streak in the past? Or Barcelona's 5-0 series' in La Liga? So no, you actually can win them all in real life, but not on this thing called game. And since this is a game and in this game you can create an amazing squad with many teams, it should even be easier to succeed in such ways. This night I thought of deleting the game twice (both of them, actually, I still have FM13 on my comp) and gave up at the last second. Now my plan is to try and keep myself from playing it via various ways I can think of and try to survive until the new g*ddamn patch.

EARLY and unfinished, rushed to get the coin coming in, the earlier its out the more units they will sell before Christmas.
Not the type of company I really was to support, it's going to hurt me but this is the last si FM game I will ever buy or play.
 
I started a new season, the only thing I did with the training was change it to learn tactics and change workload to very heavy. I never set any individual training or tutoring etc...

3 weeks in to PRE season and both Victor Moses & Daniel Sturridge injured for 6-9 months each...

seriously unfair man, I found injuries bad on other saves I had but they were more players with less time
