I'm sure it has been said many times, but I am not trawling through 154 pages: LONG SHOTS.
I think i'm lucky as I got the game quite late and the match engine doesn't seem to be too bad on this patch (bar a handful of ****-ups that are equally and hilarious to watch). But the long shots, no matter how I try combat it, still show happen more than i'd like them to. Some are unavoidable, but a lot happen when there are other players on the team in visible space, but no, they'd rather sky it from 35 yards out. It happened in FM12 too, but i'm noticing it a lot more now I pay proper attention to the match engine.
