Surely there's no nicer way to end a 22-match run of straight wins (including PSG & Barca home and away, Chelsea & Liverpool away etc.) than a ridiculous error by the world's third best GK for the opposition equalizer after 84 minutes?

Probably won't be signing anyone in this summer window as some of the prices clubs are demanding are ******* hideous.
Inter Milan want 52mil for a 21 year old regen winger that appeared 6 times in all competitions in the season just gone. Lmao.
The transfer side to this game is a serious mess. Granted I've picked up a couple of bargains, but the amount of players I've not bought because their clubs want astronomical fees is ridiculous. I honestly don't think I've paid an 'inbetween' fee for a player. I've either over paid, or I've picked up the bargain of the century because he has a 1-2 years remaining on his contract. It'd be nice to actually pick up a player for around his actual value for a change.

Hi guys
I havent played the game since before christmas, and i was frustrated by the ME and the lack of full back full backing.
I am going to have another pop, i wondered if they had done another update, my game says its version 14.2.2
Is this the latest update? If not how can I go about getting it updated.
Thanks very much

The game was updated, but there were no ME changes in the latest one (SI staff have said they're not going to rush the ME update as it needs extensive testing) - only some minor fixes which were causing the game to crash and some problems with the Swedish leagues, etc were made.. So if you enjoy goalkeeping errors, own goals a plenty and lone strikers inability to score, as well as useless wingers feel free to play
From all the feedback I've been seeing the most likely time for a major update will be once all transfer windows are closed and there's a complete data update, probably around late February or early March.
Hope that helps.
This game is so ******* annoying...
I equalised then I make a tactical change to try and preserve the point... Why doesn't game make my change immediately? It waits and waits until the next highlight (still no change). Then the inevitable happens and they score, then it makes my change afterwards..
I'm mean, really?

Whenever opposition striker has the ball quite up the field, he will hold on to it (Regardless of his ball control) despite my defender pressing, my defenders just won't tackle. Then ultimately the striker will make an incredible turn and pass off to his team mate who's making a run. A lot of one on one situations for my GK. Defenders won't tackle unless of course they are already on a yellow card and a softest tackle after that can see them getting second yellow..
Whenever I get an early goal, 95% of the time the next highlight of the opposition will be the equaliser. It is so freaking annoying. I called it the curse of early goal. I can pretty much predicted it. And then my defender suddenly fell without anyone tackling him, and then the opposition score a goal. And goalkeeper really like to pass balls to the opposition so that he can score a goal. And a missed header from the defender causing a failed direct ball to be successful. And apparently players in this ME is like Messi, they can dribble dribble and dribble until one on one with keeper because the defenders either too chickened enough to tackle the opposition or that they are made of air because the opposition can pass through them LITERALLY with ease. Also too many own goals. I had one funny friendly match against nearby team that has 4 or maybe more own goals that they made. Now I understand why people said this ME suck. I want to stop playing but I still cannot win the league in the 1st season. I can't pass December with any tactics right now without losing terribly. Maybe I should just give up.....

Just witnessed 4 of the most stupid goals I've ever seen on a FM.
They've broke the game with the last update it's just ******* stupid.
Jovetic crosses it in and Vidic slides it into his own goal with no City player near him.
Clichy plays a hoof upfront Jones heads it towards De Gea from 30 yards out into the path of Jovetic and puts him clean through on goal.
Rafael decides to shoot from 40 yards near the touchline it hits the bar and Rooney taps it in on the line with Joe Hart sat on the ball.
Kagawa has a shot Hart saves, Rooney follows up hits the inside of both posts and taps it in with Hart sat on the ball once again.
******* fix your **** buggy game SI. The amount of times I've seen my goalkeeper either pass it to their striker trying to give it out to the wings or some ******* wank **** happens where 1 of their players gets put through on goal by my own player it's beyond a joke.

Playing as Man Utd, 1st in EPL. Got a game against 2nd place Spurs coming up. They're in Europa League, play the Thursday before our game. Our game gets pushed back to 3pm on Sunday. I have a difficult away trip to Atletico Madrid in the CL the next game. On Tuesday. Thanks.
Let me add another frustration, defensive corners. I have Danny Welbeck (19) set to "6 yard box" --- what the **** is he doing there?

Playing PSV, first season. Top on Goal Difference with one game remaining, Dutch Cup Winners and Finals of the Europa (if I can beat Ajax, won 1-0 first leg away)
This has been the story of the whole season however. When one is back, 2 more go down injured. I've checked all my training/workloads and that jazz - it's just the game being a *******. The worse part is the remaining players are completely destroyed physically, which means they're picking up more and more injuries and I'm lucky to be fielding half my first 11 with players over 90% fitness. Losing Narsingh, Depay and Bakkali for long term means I've got no real quality in the IF/AM role, Losing Tamata and Williems means I have no fit LB whatsoever, so my whole left side is completely gone to injury. At one point I had 13 first 18 players out. I'm having to field teams with no wings whatsoever and playing a 3-5-2 in a complete narrow block.

Holy Moly that's a heavy first touch. That's probably 10th goal of the season that has gone past Cech that he touched but just went in anyway. He's fking incompetent in this game. Also the first touch is horribly inconsistent in this game, most defenders give up ball like this, even the guys like Mata with 19 first touch have this happen to them. Cech threw a very slow ball to Ivanovic, he took a touch and woooop, it went directly to Cardiff player. Whenever I scored, they scored another one. Lost 4-3

Park Chu-Young, the guy with 10 finishing, the guy who's a joke, scored 4 goals in a game... And of course against me. 2 of his goals were from usual set piece scramble, when the ball goes to him unmarked after my defenders clear it up, 3rd was goalkeeper gifting him the ball and him playing a lobbed shot that I doubt even Rooney will have trouble with and 4th was penalty.

In pretty much every match, I get a message during the first half to say that my AM_R has taken a knock but should be able to run it off, so his condition drops to about 65%. I have about five players who can play that role - Adam Lallana, Jonjo Shelvey and Ross Barkley among them - but it doesn't matter which one I play at any given time, this happens in practically every match.
The instructions for the AM_R are usually: Get to the byline; Aim crosses at target man; More risky passes.
It doesn't matter whether I play 4-2-3-1 or my favourite 4-5-1 asymmetric tactic, it happens either way. Not so much to the left sided players, though.

y do both teams goalkeepers seem to kick it straigt out of play 4-5 rimes a game seriously learn to kick
the player instructions dont do a thing. i tell my players to close down more yet they stand there and let the opposition pass through like we are not there. i dont think there should be set instructions for the player roles as there iscertain things you might want your players to do that you cant. sometimes i think you know when your are going to lose a match straight from the kick off. in my last match everytime a player recieved a pass his first touch was poor and kept losing the ball. the defenders were just like brick walls stopping every attack
Okay, here's one that has left me done with fm for a bit.
Playing PSV, second season. Dutch League, Cup winners and Europa finalists. This year top by 10 points, qualified from our champs league group and playing amazing football with Mitrovic 9m, Capoue 3m, Depay, Quintero 2m+Tonivoen, Maher, Williems, Balanta 5m, Martins Indi, Romero 5m all developing fantastically with some other good frees (Ekdal has been the best) and loans in. Pretty OP Team.
We come up against Camburr or whoever they are, quarters of the Dutch Cup. They're 6th in the league below, on a pretty meh run of form, whereas I've not conceded in 4 and not lost in 3 months. Starts well, Ekdal scores a peach but they equalize just before halftime to a completely dubious run of play. Predicting that I'm in a scripted match, I kick the teams *** as I've had 65% of the ball, 15 shots to their 1. Everyone is fired up, apart from Zoet (GK). This is important. He ''looked stressed''. 99% of the time, he's fine. Gets to the 65th minute, they clear the ball, Zoet comes out to routinely collect. He doesn't. It bounces away from him weirdly and rolls outside the area, so he jogs casually and does some weird animation where he tries to pick the ball up 5 times in a row, rather than punt it out as their winger is running in. Strangely, their team has pushed forward despite being camped in their half, one player runs from their half to my box in this time. Most defensive set ups would just clear, pull back and re shape.
Surprisingly, the ball bounces off Zoet while he's doing this animation, rolls behind him while he's doing this animation jogging toward the touchline and falls to their winger perfectly. He crosses it, their player who ran the length of the pitch heads it in. 2-1. I pull one back, 2-2. Extra time. I score in the 112th minute. And I never saw this coming, but they score - in the 124th minute, 4 full minutes after the 120. Penalties. Sweet, their GK sucks, and they don't have a penalty taker with penalties over 10. Gets down the goalkeepers, theirs scores. Zoet, the villain of this script, misses. I lose.
I understand it's fun to have scripts with the minnows holding on, scoring after the big bad better team makes a mistake, and a dramatic goal in the 124th minute and the ''villain'' GK having a bad game missing the decisive pen cuz he ''looked stressed'', but c'mon.

The small things around me when I play, especially my mouse, would be grateful if the game offered some in game option to vent. 
1) Team meeting: I have talked about this often but... But it really ****** me off that the team is meeting some handholding session. We havent "hit a bit of a blip" we have f'n lost the championship even though pointwise it's still possible. But we have when you consider the upcoming fixtures and other factors!
2) "Punishment training": I tend to put the training to the max and cancel both rest days from time to time when the teams performance is disapointing. But I would like to be able to tell that to the team. "The reason we training so hard is because you havent been performing on the pitch".
3) I would like to be able to single out the player who's mistake cost us the game. And tell it to their face. Not that just to have small chat about the players performance in the last game but simply put... "You lost us the game"! And I'm not talking about giving away a penalty. I mean a midfielder giving a last minute counter opportunity to the opposition when a have pacifically given intructions to retain posession. Still these idiots try to challenge the opposition instead of giving the easy pass to a team mate. I know that this is pretty much impossible for the people who programmed the game to have my captain "rally the troops" when there is two games left, six points and 20 goal difference for the other team.
