Every goal I concede is from a set-piece! I can't remember the last goal I conceded from open play. It seems that now even the AI can't finish! I even concentrate my training on defending set-pieces, but to no avail!
There also seems to be an awful lot of, what the game is calling, own goals. In my last match I conceded 2 own goals, both from set-pieces obviously! In fact, my opponents pulled the game back to level from 2 down without having a shot on target!

I've had a lot of success with advanced forwards. Haven't used a poacher yet, but if they seem inconsistent that actually makes a lot of sense. A poacher's game is defined by the goals he scores, so if he scores, he's played well, and if he hasn't he's played poorly. Since most strikers don't put away a goal a game it makes sense for their rating to fluctuate.
Again, makes sense. Youth players are much more likely to back down, whereas big name players with high ambition or those who are a bit too good for your club can make demands as much as they want. Follows real life, unfortunately!
the problem i have on this FM is really weard...i don't have any wonderkid/world class regen...i am playing with liverpool 7. season and there is no regen that can become world class... have the best 23 scouts in the game, but i thought they do lazy job, so i start to scout manualy, by myself, every country in the world (that's my favourite thing in the game) clubs that usually give the best young players like barcelona, porto, ajax, dinamo z....... but i found nothing...the best regen so far is 20-year old french kid that have similar stats to alvaro morata, not so special.....
Wow, incredibly harsh. Sadly also not unrealistic at Madrid. What were the club expectations?

I was ( and am still) a great fan of FM 11, 12 and 13, I played it for so many hours.
But then...... FM14, I just hate it, its terrible.
- Players heading the ball away when they arent even defended and can just lay it on to their feet....
- Players who cant even give a pass over 2 meters.
- Goalkeepers who kick the ball away blind when the tactic says '' distribute ball to defenders''.
- Defenders which are told to press but they dont even move a freaking meter to get the ball...
I just can't stand it, I aint winning anything, tried different tactics ( and gave them time) also a few tactics from here. But it can't be the tactic i hope, they can't even pass, I see players who tackle the ball as first touch -.-
Then my defenders.... even snails are faster, every trough ball and they are gone...
The game is just terrible in my opinion, and i really dont get it that people enjoy the new tactic system... Please give some tips because i dont want my ?45 to be wasted to this ******* and i loved the series...

dont remeber.guess win everything
barcelona 32 win 4 draw 2 lost points 100
my team 28 win 9 draw 1 lost points 93
I swear to god the first season i played with Real i was 8 points behind Barca and didn't make it to 1/8 in cl and didn't get sacked.
Gee, you think? Perhaps that's why I never put them in the first team in the first place.
Unfortunately, they just released a really awful game. The match engine is perversely loaded against the human player, all last minute winners or thrashings by teams vastly inferior to the users'. It's like S.I. have just stuck two fingers up at their fanbase. I have much anger towards them. I find that posting anonymously on internet forums helps

Hi there,
This is my first post to this forum, and i do not like to complain about the gmae not letting me win etc as i have played FM since it first came out and before that i played CM, so i know there are times just like in real life football when you get screwed over.
But it is happening in almost every game i play in this one. I had a great tactic going for my watford save where i was top of the league at the 1st February. i had a couple of days off and when i came to play agin the new update had come through and obviously i may be jumping to conclusions, but i did not win a single game once i loaded my save.
I even changed tactics to mix things up that didnt work either.
I seem to have a penalty awarded against me every single game even though my instructions say for my players to stay on their feet, i have lost a number of games 1-0 with their goal being a penalty and me having 20-30 shots a game.
My defenders seem to let their attackers and midfielders run freely all over the pitch, and the team instructions seem to have no impact on anything in my games. I say for my wing backs to cross early or cross from deep that never happens and there have been issues with the amount of red and yellow cards i get. I do not use hassle or get stuck in as instructions but have had 7 or mare players booked in a game a number of times. I seem to also get 1 player sent of every 2 or 3 games and it's getting frustrating.
As i said i may just be jumping to conclusions, but i have had enough FM experience to feel that something is just not right with it at the moment. I will persevere with it to see if i can get myself out of the hole im in but i just wanted to vent a little bit as losing every single game or just having results that dont make sense - when i got to the prem with watford, i played spurs and man city away and drew 1-1 with both of those, then played fulham at home and got trounced 7-1 with the exact same team.
Hugo rodellega and bryan ruiz both with hat tricks. it was unbelievable.
*rant over
Thanks

I am managing Chelsea, tried to implement a very successful tactic that i created in FM13, and I must say i failed miserably. My team simply cannot put together a 3 win series. It's always WWDDDLL repeat. Finishing in this game is terrible. Had games with 30 shots and only 3-4 hitting the target. Top players missing 1 on 1 with the GK like 90% of the time. Not to mention that i have every single game some player missing from inside the 6 yard box unhindered by any opponent.
Lots of you mentioned this, but the amount of times a team hits the post is just ridiculous. I mean you just don't go below 2-3 per game.
Lastly, the most frustrating thing so far for me. Opponent striker gets a through ball. My defender is like 4-5 yards ahead of him. My GK has a better shot of reaching the ball before the striker.So far so good. Defender decides after running towards the ball and almost has it, that he won't follow it anymore and stops. GK, who also came out to intercept, stops too. Striker scores with no problem. I get it that this might happen to weaker sides with weaker players, but i have this problem every 1 or 2 games, and I don't think you can call Cech, Terry/Ivanovic/Cahill/Luiz weak players.
Waiting for a fix, because game is at the moment Frustration Manager over 9000.

I wish someone would make a management sim to rival SI. At least that way they'd be pressured into releasing something that isn't shamefully unfinished. I started this game, and thought it was equally terrible to fm2013 when first released. I spent hours understanding the match engines flaws and eventually accepted them and made a tactic that was reasonably successful. I didn't play for a while and now a new patch has been released, and back to square one. Here's a really neat idea, release the game when its ready not release a version of it 20 times a year. Sell the product to the consumer when you actually have a product. Not when you have the makings of one. An example of this years strategy would be selling a house at full price yet giving the buyer one room at a time, each room having their own almost unbearable flaws. Having played for years i'm regretfully close to calling it a day. A real shame to see the decline of such a great series. I just hope a new game will come along to fill the void left by this annual shambles.
Have the SI programmers been watching too many films? This is football not fantasy, the unexpected can happen but it doesn't happen very often, hence its unexpected. My 2 favourites so far are both in the play offs with being 4-0 up in the first leg only to lose 5-0 in the second leg, with the normal injury time winner only to be beaten by winning 5-2 on aggregate with 9 minutes to go for a 4 goal turn around with the customary injury time winner. I was half expecting Rocky to come out at the end.

Why is a player out for so long with a wrist injury? This is totally unrealistic and doesn't reflect the real world!
A player in the real world would play again almost immediately with a cast on his his wrist, whereas in FM he is out for 2 months!
This has been the same in FM for as long as I can remember and definitely needs changing to reflect the real world more accurately.

I understand that there are a couple of new management sims in development as we speak. Hopefully these will have some effect on SI's apparent complacency.
