Well i've been playing CM/FM for almost 15 years. I'll admit that i'm by no means an expert but you could say that i'm a experienced player. But this is by far the most annoying and frustrating FM version i've ever played (and i've installed the latest patch which is 13.2.3 i believe). This is mainly due to the terrible match engine as we have criticised during this thread. These are some of the flaws i have observed during my 5 days of playing:
Players in all areas of the pitch seem to take ages to pass, even when there are tons of options around for easy ones. Even when i set the tactics to narrow width + short passes, it doesn't change a thing and players lost possession easily because of the delay.
When defending agst counter attack, sometimes players just walk back very slowly even though there are 5,6 opponents running like mad.
Headers are a mess, free headers at the back by defenders are normally resulted in corners for the opposing team. Not to mention the amount of mis-headers from CB are astounding.
Keepers pass the ball stupidly to opponents forwards are a regularity.
Yellow cards sometimes are given in the first few seconds for what seems like a harmless foul in the middle of the park.
Wingers run 40 50 yards to a good crossing position near the byline and make a back pass to fullbacks 30 yards behind.
By my calculation almost 60% of penalties are saved.
Almost every shots are like they are taken with 100% power, even in 1-one-1 vs keeper situation, what happened with placement shots and curlers?
Closing down and tight marking is a joke. Sometimes when i set closedown to never, other team players just go run straight through the defend without any challenge and have a 1on1 with keeper. They seem to have no idea when to challenge and when to stand off. And sometimes when i set closedown to yes, then 2, sometimes 3, players are dragged to that player and leave a huge gap behind. And apparently tight marking is nowhere near tight for me.
Very often that a player use their weaker foot to attempt a long range from 30 35 yards when there are other passing options available. Also very often is that players get into good shooting position from the side and even inside the box (Ashley Young with his favorite far post shot) and then decided to make a float cross or attempt some other silly things. It's killing me seeing things like that.
For me, i like everything with the FM13, from the renovated training to the talk to squad, talk to player thing but if the most important feature which is the ME has so many flaws and problems like this, it's a waste of time for me playing this game.
