2 - 0 up with 3 minutes to go. On counter mentality. Corner to stoke 2 - 1. 90+3, Corner to stoke. 2 -2 OG by my defense. This game is a ******* joke. I keep playing it in the hope something might work. But the AI is determined to have its way.

**** SI's BS.
 
^not really worth giving a response considering how illogical you sound but i'll add one last comment anyway

You're playing a game. Learn to play the game according to the rules of the game (ME). That means the game runs on tactics and stats. Including annoying hidden stats you can't see like player consistency (which is why your 5 star striker might be missing a bunch of "clear cut chances, whatever that's supposed to mean"). You're conceding 90+3' corners? Why do you not have possession of the ball from 80 minutes onward till the whistle if you had actually switched to a defensive, retain possession, shorter passing, and pull your strikers back to crowd your midfield in order to hold onto a 1 goal lead. I can produce probably a hundred screenshots where I held onto a 1 goal lead for an entire half as a lower league team vs a top league team (2-3 star players vs 4-5 star players across the board). Tactics bro.

You want 100% realism...well you know what has 100% realism when it comes to managing football? Going to your local football club and becoming the manager.

The game will never be a 100% realist simulation of football. The real thing is just too fluid. But it still remains a very good approximation.

Since its a piece of software it will ALWAYS have bugs or issues of some kind.

That said, attacking is excellent in game, defending is good (nothing more, can defintely be improved in future).

You dont need to changes tactics all the time, you dont need to create new ones. You do need to at times recognise when you need to read a situation and be ready to adapt or take advantage of it.

Side is pressing you hard? Bypass the press with quicker passing to tire them out/pull them out of position, or bypass it with more direct play.

Team camped in their own penalty box? Draw them out, or use excellent dribblers to beat them one on one draw the foul/get the big man in the box and play in the crosses.

These little things are the type of things that get you overachieving/extending those winning runs.

Use man management correctly keeps your players focused off the pitch.

You were just unlucky. But why did you go to counter with 3 minutes to go? I'd have kept it as far up the pitch as possible.

the LAST thing I would do is let a big side like Stoke get corners.

Because the ragers are the ones who don't actually understand football despite having watched so much real life football. (H)

This is called post your frustrations, no? Just because I rage, doesn't mean I don't understand football. I get angry at stupid drivers, doesn't mean I don't know how to drive.

A comment made without knowing what happened to concede the corner....

My FB, under no pressure and with three passing options decided to kick it out for a corner. THAT is what ****** me off. I mean who, in their right mind, would kick a ball out to give the opposition a corner, when leading by 1 at 90+3? And before you ask, no, my FB doesn't have **** composure or decisions.

This is not "unlucky" just bullshit.

That still doesnt explain why you went to counter at 2-0 with 3 minutes to go.

The Five Stages of Football Managing


1) "Work the ball into the box, and shoot less often"

2) "I said work the ball into the box and shoot less often"

3) "Look dummies, I want you to slow down, work the ball into the box, shoot less often, and I really mean it this time."

4) "For the love of God, please just stop shooting from way out there!"

5) "Fine, whatever, we won."
 
That's not the point. The point is what my FB did.

Well it kinda is. He might have doen it under nervous and made a bad mistake, it might be a bug. Either way, you dont get there unless you cave under pressure and let them get the first goal back.

Which comes back to: Why did you switch to counter with 3 minutes remaining and a two goal lead?

I'm not sure that how the player feels would have led to him conceding a corner completely unnecessarily...

Chelsea did that against stoke, losing 3-2. I think my scout before matches always reports to put training on "Defending set pieces" whenever playing Stoke.

Does Mark Hughes also have the tendency "Expects strong set pieces"?

Also when you have a lead, try to retain possession with low tempo and no purpose. Don't press opposition team and maintain a shape. Keep the ball, waste time.

How the player feels = likely to perform well or likely to make mistakes.

And b/c you were set on counter, you were basically instructing your team to let them opposing team have the ball, absorb the attack, then hit them on a fast counter. When you should've been defensive or contain, lower tempo, retain possession, waste time
 
I thought SI have fixed this View attachment 532693 200 million! iv'e only got 2 million


he's basically not for sale. Back in the day he would have said not for sale, but people complained about that, so now you get some kind of prohibitive figure.

Why his agent is offering him to you, is well, off.

I'd report that tbh.
 
*Just here to vent about my teams shortcomings rather than anything to do with SI*
11 seasons in, I reach my 1st champions league final, we are 2-0 up 86mins on the clock, decide to shut up shop and go contain, and of course Chelsea, who were poor throughout the match, manage to equalize despite their only being 2 mins of added time added (scored in 87mins and they equalised on 91:58), match goes to extra time where it ends 3-3 and inevitably we lose in the penalty shoot out.
To add to my frustrations, this is my 5th final defeat (2 X Serie C cups, Italian cup, Europa league (ironically against Chelsea) and now this)
Needless to say I need to take some time off from FM
