I do get red cards,but you have to pay more attention now it seems. If a player with a yellow card seem aggressive and has a poor rating you should sub him to make sure he doesn't get a red card. I find this realistic and another tactical decision you have to make.
 
Gerardo Martino has been at FCB on my game for four years and not won anything!! He has finished 4th 3 times and 5th the other time? Real have won the league 4 years running, and the champs league 3 times!!! Does the game really think that he would of kept his job???????
 
The defence in this game is absolutely horrendous. It seems impossible to keep a clean sheet. It's almost as if the AI is programmed to score at least one goal per game.
 
My over-achieving Middlesbrough can beat Man City at home, can even upset Manchester United and Arsenal away from home, but lost to fricking Newcastle four matches in the whole season (and I am always the favorite, and I don't think I screwed up my team talk)...and I am playing Newcastle away for the FA cup in the semi finals. God save me :(

I really do hate to complain but after being less than impressed with the game when it first came out, due to match engine bugs and crazy AI.. This new patch has really done more damage than good.

Im not afraid of changing tactics to suit the opposition and my man management has always been good on previous games.. but this one is just plain and simply stupid. Poor opposition just seem to have absolutely amazing games against me, every game. Players who have long shots of 3 and finishing of 6 smash 40 yard screamers into the top corner. Players who have a pace, acceleration of under 10 glide down the wing and past my players who have 15+ in pace & accel.. its just bonkers.

I think the best match engine was the 2012 game. it had its faults sure, but at least the game responded properly. it maybe could have been a little harder but there you go...

I read earlier on here a comment that was spot on, basically the guy said that if SI didnt have such a loyal fan base, this game wouldnt be popular at all as most of the time its unplayable and not realistic.

Yeah, played with 7 finishing are scoring lobbed goals from 30-40 meters, it's too common after this patch, recognized bug I think. Defending is very bad, players run through any defense with ease, even Peter Crouch who has 4 acceleration.
 
I completely agree with everything I played Newport County in the F.A cup im Man City had to play a weakened team due to having 7-8 of the first 11 been injured in training get at least 1 a week I knew that they would score it was inevitable so I played 5-1-2-2 to try to stop them walking all over me I had 7 shots hit the post over 60% possession but because Newport are well know for there world class countering ability and amazing through balls over the top of your defence they smashed me, at the moment I feel that the game is out there to make it so hard to play that its not fun they in the past it was to easy now im sitting 17th in the league with 13 points I would rather it be fun and enjoyable then so hard that you cant beat the easiest of teams they need to sort it or I wont buy another FM game waste of ?25 if you ask me
 
Apologies if this is the correct place to post, it is definitely a bug but is also ridiculously frustrating. Has it been noted before that if you take over somewhere mid-season, onerous season expectations result in getting the sack before the season's end? This was a problem in FM13 in my experience, but it is way worse again in FM14. AI managers are never under pressure if they take over mid-way, but I can rarely avoid the sack! For example, I took over Everton in 20th place in the Championship, with a brief of a top half finish. After taking over, this expectation was bumped up to winning promotion, and I was sacked after just 10 games after guiding them to 12th. There are bugs all over the game, but this is the one that ensures I won't buy another version. If anyone else can verify this, or even let us know that SI acknowledge that this is a flaw, I'd be much happier. Cheers! :)
 
Players throwing hissy fits after getting sent off and getting fined every single time
 
I am trying to become a club legend at Leeds and I'm in my 8th season. We're now a top team in Premier League doing and quarter/semi final team in Champions League and other cups,but still I'm not even considered as a favourite personel?
Right backs with 2 seasons behind them are considered favourites,but not someone who transformed the club into a top team?
 
In almost 5th season with Barca, but EVERY YEAR HORRIBLE YOUTH INTAKE .. Every facility is top class but only 1,5 stars regens!
 
To the admins and other of the more talented players out there then myself: Do you find any success with poachers/advanced forwards in this game and/or possession tactics? They both seem random and inconsistent in my game(s).

Oh, and more to the point: Learning new tactics (for the players that is) takes way too long at times in this years edition. Its hard trying out new stuff too see if it will change things for the better when "small" changes can change your formation from fluid to zero before it takes 4 months to get competent + again. Sigh.
 
On 14.1.3 my tactic allowed mi to finish 3rd in Bundesliga (Frankfurt, 1st season, without any transfers) and now I can't win any single game, my whole tactic fell apart. It's ridiculous that I have to 'learn' the match engine every single time they release a patch...

And guess what. Lost to Newcastle once again despite being odds on favorite 1-0. Thought it was just a bad luck thingy, saved the game, and then use a previous save. 10 matches, 3 different formations, all losses despite dominating all 10 matches. Newcastle is not meant to be beaten -_-
 
Players not backing down in team talks, 80% of the time you have an unhappy player you can only give in or upset them more.

Weak opponents defeating you with no logical explanation for it at all, they have 5 shots 3 on target i have 30 with 15 on target and they win 2-0 or 2-1. Almost as it its preset that you'll lose points in that game.
I tested this one game where after reloading i lost 2-0 2-1 1-0 3-1 and 2-0.

Keepers that run out the goal to save a ball near the corner flag, only to give it to the opponents to score.

For some reason if a match doesnt go my way, i end up getting one of my players injured in the first. getting a red card in the second half (either 2 yellow or direct) and cant stop this no matter what formation i play.

and stop giving goalkeepers og's for shots my strikers take

The game in a nutshell.

Lost 2-0 to crystal palace, and i was Liverpool. The 2 highlights they had, they scored. I had 10 or so highlights, didn't score once. Completely ridiculous.

The amount of shots that hit the woodwork is unreal, sometimes i have a game where the woodwork has been hit 10 or so times.
