I'm not disagreeing, or basically doing anything otherwise, but you do realize this thread is about Frustrations with FM right? If you get frustrated by watching people frustrated with the game, then you probably shouldn't be reading this thread.

Just saying..

As for countering your arguement, not everyone here is of the category of 'You don't know how to play'. We do devise our tactics, and many of us have had plenty of success with various teams, it's the bugs which continue to niggle, which is why this is a thread for ranting. Capisce?

Man,who are you lying? I read post,and not only FRUSTATED POSTS! People starts to hate FM!! Beacause your first touch aliow you to get goal i one of 10 games...Its growing dead for Fm.I hate makers of FM for some reasons but i will not, in some frsutated ways, say to people that we all must hate game!
 
goals are being counted as CCC's and it shouldn't: either it's a goal or a CCC, not both. Half chances and CCC's are flawed, I see my players in front of the GK missing goals and it's considered as a half chance instead of CCC.

That's not necessarily true.

This thread's fine for those people who actually encounter frustrating things. FM is full of them. You're 1-0 up against the league leaders and then in the 70th minute, your centreback cleans out the opposition forward and gets sent off. You lose 2-1. That's frustrating.

What shouldn't be allowed in this thread is people then using situations like the one I just described as a stick to bash SI with. Not only that, but even worse are the people who either don't fully understand the game or are just plain bad at it, and ignore their own shortcomings in favour of just criticising the match engine. Here's one example:



With all due respect, you don't fully understand the game. Using CCCs as a way of measuring the success of a tactic is well known as being massively flawed anyway, but even if we disregard that, CCCs are not calculated as chances that will be put away the majority of the time. All a clear cut chance is is pretty much just that; a chance where there is a clear opportunity to score. That doesn't mean scoring is guaranteed or even LIKELY. 5 CCCs and 0 goals isn't particularly out of the ordinary. One of your strikers should have put one away, but there's a whole range of reasons why they didn't. Besides that, it's probably a small statistical anomaly. If it isn't, well then there's something wrong with what you're doing, either by buying substandard players or using good ones incorrectly.

fully agree...i think that 80% player dont understand some IMPORTANT parts of game called footbal MANAGER (MANAGER!) or basicly dont want themself get bothered with stuff like that.
 
Is Moyes frustated?Well, i am :-) and i sure hope that he is to!Wow suddeny (my) Utd team plays like **** ,lets kill them all, lets put them on wall of shame.True human instinct reaction.

I always start to play Fm maybe after few patches so that i am not-less bug free.My first reaction in club was to sell alllll anoying players (anderson,carrick,flatcher,chicarito,evans....) and (maybe not on last 2 or 3 FM-s) i could do that with no problem at all, earning alot of money.They buy players.Niceee.But now i am happy that i cant just sell anbody to anybody for alot of money.Its ok,it realistic and that is after all years of only entertaing just fine.And i think that makers are dwelling on that and stuffs like that.

Game is JUST FINE. Bug is when some thing happen in ALL games!
 
Some bugs could be understood, after all the game is certainly highly complex in terms of coding and as for the ME it has to be careful dealt with because messing with any action must have serious implications in a series of others. So, as a long-time fan I can be comprehensive about this... I can and I really try to be. But besides being a long-time fan, I'm also a long-time customer and SI must have a bunch of guys programming and testing the game and it's very annoying, after more than two months since the release date, that we are still dealing with a stupid amount of bugs and let's not forget that previous to the official game there was a beta version for all of us to test. And we tested it and reported it, so it's understandable that people feel frustrated for buying a game in October and only by February or March the things start to ease a bit. If SI can't deal with this, then maybe we have to start buying the game only in February or March... I will when FM15 is released.

Another point of minor irritation for me, when I go to attend games in which my loan stars are playing, there's no headline along the lines of 'Manager was seen checking up on the progress of his loan stars';; A.I managers get that, but not me, which is a bit irritating.

And I don't know if it is a co-incidence or not (most probably is), but my players have started to miss set pieces after training Attacking Set Pieces just once. Penalties, freekicks, corners, nothing is going in :\

Why would you need a headling or news telling you, you've been to a game you've just watched?

You already do get it, especially if you're managing a country, and are watching said country's players for the national team. I'm just slightly turned off by the fact that the same thing isn't present for watching scouted players.
 
Winning the game 1-0 despite battering opposition left and right, they win 2-1 from only 2 Shots,both were from corners in last 3 minutes. My match prep you ask? Defending set-pieces.
And it isn't defender scoring a header, it's always a scramble in the box.

After so many years of FM (and CM) another frustration that arises is how SI keeps the game so tactically shallow. It seems that for SI doesn't exist a basic thing like offensive and defensive process: taking a look to what we are offered, we can see several instructions for possession, penetration, general and shape, most of them with much more influence in the offensive process. Then we have 6 (????) possibilities for the defensive process, 2 for tackling (+- aggressive), 2 for pressing (+- hassle), 1 for marking and the offside trap. Really ? Is this just what they can come up with ? It doesn't need to be a tactical genius to understand that any team has to distinct shapes of organizing itself: the so called defensive and offensive process. For a game that intends to be a football sim, it's curious that things like pressing the ball doesn't exist (a very different thing than telling player x to hassle opponent y), neither the possibility of telling players to apply different intensities according to the zone they are moving the ball around, or neither the possibility of telling players to set different defense lines whenever the team has or doesn't have the ball. Then there's the missing motivational shouts: right, I'm the manager but I'm unable to tell my players "calm down", "run more", "you are doing great, keep it on". No, something that any manager always have done it's just missing on FM. Great database, great ME (even with bugs), great as game.... very poor sim.
 
what i really hate is almost every game i have around 18 shots on target but cant score more than 1 goal.been watching the replays and i see even my dead grandpa would score 2-4 goals.and then is the A1. 2 shots on target and they score.
 
Been realizing that my ability to develop Maribor into a European super power is being greatly hindered by the size of the nation of Slovenia. With a population of 2 million people I feel that the odds of producing world class youth players is very low despite the quality of my facilities and network. Also I will not be able to expect large crowds coming to my stadium anytime soon. I currently average about 10,000 fans a match in a stadium with a capacity of 12,000 and only sell out Champions League matches.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this save and its probably the most into an FM save I have ever gotten but it may be time to try this same challenge in a different nation, I am thinking that I will try Poland.
 
A few more I've noticed.

So, I have a great header of the ball in Mitrovic and a nice corner routine to suit - which brings goals when he gets the service. So why does my corner taker insist on playing a short corner that never comes to anything half the time, despite me playing very rigid? It's so incredibly frustrating watching this when 50% of the time the short option plays a one two then they get tackled, the other 50% results in passes outside the area to lose it or sky a shot

Why do my wingers never ever play the simple ball into my ST who is standing there 8 yards out unmarked, and insist on taking shots from ridiculously bad angles? They have good decisions. Why are they not deciding to play a less than 10 yard pass to my free, unmarked player? Everytime.

Why am I hitting the bar once a game? Never the post either. I understand that you can pull all sorts of statistics up showing how occasions like club x in season x they hit the bar x amount of times, but this has happened now for the past 3 seasons consistently.

Why are 50% or more of the A.I goals totally dubious? From my player pausing mid run in a 50/50 for the ball, giving the A.I that second time to win the ball and score. Or A.I players performing on the field WAY above their stats - long shots under 10? 25 yard goal. Bad corner taker? Perfect curled ball to a 5'6 dude with under 10 jumping and heading. 1-1 in a important game and my DC ''coincidentally'' decides to handball in the box for a penalty? Or, the GK completely going crazy glitching on the spot while the A.I has a free shot after ? I would be fine if it at least LOOKED legit. These goals never happen for me, I NEVER see this on my highlights.

Why do I get a injured player every single game? And at least 2 of my players have been knocked down to 60% before the first half is over. Also, whenever I change things up and chuck on 3 subs, one of my players will be injured 2 minutes after - every. single. time.

And finally...

Why does the winning goals for the A.I always come after 85/90 mins? I never concede early and lose. It's always extremely late, which the frequency of goals after 90 minutes is insane. I still have a screenie from early on in another career where I conceeded about 15 late goals after 90 minutes in one single season.

It wouldn't bother me as much if I was equal or below the quality of the sides I face, but I'm PSV aiming to raise the league rep and do well in Europe (got the idea from some dude who made Denmark a awesome league on fm13 I think) so my team is like Barca in the championship. I have developed so many players like Mitrovic, Balanta, Zouma, Martins Indi, Quintero, Romero, Barbosa with Driussi and a couple others on loan and players like Capoue, Ekdal, Guatia, Romeu, Vydra also. Bakkali, Maher, Willems and Depay also have come on strong - I just declined a 32m bid upfront for Maher from Bayern and Utd. So I can't believe this quality of player can **** up against sides players outside my regular first 18 could probably beat.

This isnt really related to FM, but the fact google/youtube have f**ked around with the log in is really ******* me off. What should be as simple as logging in has now taken me almost a F**king hour! Its making want to smash my head against the table. Google are real douchebags
 
Conceding 3 set piece goals to a lower league team after having match preparation "defend set pieces" is always fun.
 
The transfer request dont have get out of control. Pogba, 2 years left on contract, value 23m.. we want ?287 and Robert Lewadowski, plus optional extras.. oh come on ffs..
 
When you set match preparation to Defending Set Pieces and let 4 goals in directly from corners. This makes it worse when you've won every game for the last 2 months and are 3-1 up in the Champions League Semi Final first leg and get beat 5-1 in the second leg!!! Where is the logic???
