One of my biggest frustrations:

Players with high penalty stats always missing penalties, and the ones with low penalty stats seem to score them every time! This is the same with long shots, finishing, free kicks etc.
 
What annoys me is the fact when your a team like pompey and you draw with man city at home the fans are dissapointed, whaatt! and then they say so and so should have played instead of whoever, too much though from si on that front i think.

Agreed. Currently managing East Stirlingshire (Div2) and lost 2-0 away to Hibs (SPL) to two 2nd half goals and the fans moan its not good enough!!
 
* Spending almost an entire seasons' transfer budget on one star player only for the player to arrive with a broken leg (happened twice....)

*Spending countless hours looking for quality coaches only for some higher-up team to steal them away mid-season.

* Loosing 3-0 against a 6-1 underdog and not being able to just laugh at my team post-match.

* Transfer battles. I bid low, they ask for more. I bid higher, they ask FOR EVEN MORE THAN BEFORE. I bid lower than I ever bid before, they ask for what I initially bid for...WTF?

as Derby i went 3-0 up at half time against Sheff Utd, then lost 4-3 in the second half.

i was swearing up a storm, i tell you that :@

Shortly before I was fired from Derby I was up 3-1 in the 85th minute vs Sheff Weds, drew the game 3-3, with a goal in the 86th and 90+1 Minute.

I had all the stops pulled out too, Contain, Play Even Safer, Clear to Flanks, Time Wasting....I think that result cost me my job...

My ****** chairman was dying to sell my top goal scorer, Lago (regen). He had 100 goals in 122 games and every offer that was more then £5 million, the chairman accepted on my behalf. Luckily he rejeted all contract offers, he loved the club and his favourite personal were me, my assistant and his two striking partners and no would could meet his contract demands.

Unfortunately, we missed out of promotion in an unlucky play-off final defeat. The next season the board expect we gain automatic promotion despite the fact that our team is no where near the standard needed and what happens? Sunderland offer £9.25 million for Lago. The chairman has an ****** and accepts, Sunderland give him the contract he wants and he leaves. Now we're doing worse then last year and Sunderland are unbeaten top of the Premier League after 5 games and Lago is top scorer with 6 goals

And the worse part is that we're in good financial condition, we're the 89th richest club in the World and yet he's still dying for money
 
Having an unbelievable comeback, down 1-0 at half-time, then winning the match 2-1 with NINE GUYS LEFT ON THE PITCH, and then the game crashes.....argh.
 
almost every match, my team will have at least one injury and these costly injuries cost me dearly as i failed to make it into the top 4. the signing of vagner love was to ensure that i have a good goalscorer, only to find out that he cannot play for 3 clubs in a year (cska > palmeiras > everton) and will only be eligible to play in 1 July 2011, which means the 2nd season will have already ended by then.

the injury situation was so bad that i had to field u20s as i have around 6 long term casualties and 4 short terms ones and even buying players wont help cos they somehow became injury prone as well. therefore, im got pwned regularly and after half a season, im lingering in 13th position, waiting to be fired. funnily enough, the schedules which i used are the same in all my other games but none of those teams had injuries as bad as this. im starting to feel that everton is a **** fragile team cos the players keep getting injured. this is atrocious. :@

just play for third season and when i was try to backup my game(my pc need to be format),
i accidently rewrite my third season game to a first season game...

and i always win, but always conceade goal......
 
<rant> I was 2 - 0 up after 10 minutes against Preston as Reading, but ended losing the match 5 - 3 somehow. My next game was against Millwall, and then I go 2 - 0 up again easily in the first half. Half time I tell my team not to let their performance drop, and we are cruising through the second half, dominating the game. About 65 minutes in I go to make some subs to rest key players for the big cup game in a few days time vs Aston Villa, and as soon as I click Tactics FM crashes to the desktop, with a nice error message telling me to look in my crash dumps folder :@:@:@

Anyway, after about 15 attempts at starting FM again (due to my ongoing problem of it not loading) I finally managed to start the game again. Thankfully, the signing I had made since the last auto save still joined me this time round. Anyway, I picked the same team, did the same team talk, gave the same opposition instructions, and their team was the same. The weather was the same. 6 minutes in 1 - 0 to Millwall. 80 minutes in 2 - 0 to Millwall. I closed the game in rage. :@:@:@:@

I'm not one to save before games and then replay until I get a good result because that defeats the object of the game for me, but to be easily winning a match I am favourites for, then for the game to crash and to somehow forget how to score goals when I played the match again really really annoyed me. </rant>

Has anyone else suffered such annoying things as a result of crashes and the like? And how do you react in team talks after a match like the one against Preston when your team has thrown away a lead?
 
Being 1-0 up away against Chelsea then in the 96th minute they get a penalty!

And to make it worse, Ashley Cole takes it. :@

not being ab.e to complain about the worlds worst ref... or complain about added time.. im well ****** off at loosing clean cheets as the ref lets time go over the alloted time stated.. scoring in the 96th minute when there is 2 mins of added time is a **** take...
 
on my everton save, managed to go unbeaten for 50+ games, only for fm 2010 to crash....
2nd attempt, 52nd game agaisnt nott co in premier league who lost 11 games consecutively @ home, i lost 3-5, 4 goals in the last 15 min, 3 of them scored by defenders during corner kicks

on my acmilan save which i started last nite, pato goaless for 1018 min ; hunterlaar scoreless for 700+ mins.
 
dont know if this has happened to anyone else, i was in penalty kicks and clearly won the game, game loaded back, and it said i lost. WTF
 
I was managing AC Milan (media pred: 3) and was playing against Chievo (media pred: 20). I was 3rd in the league after 8 games (6-1-1) and Inter and Roma were just 1 pt ahead of me and played one game more than me. Since it was a home game against Chievo, I used attacking mode with a 4-3-1-2 formation. I was relentlessly attacking, won some 9 corners, won a penalty which Ronaldinho failed to convert. Huntelaar missed a very easy header (easier than Bent's miss :P), Pato got some 6 chances, all missed or shot straight at the keeper. It looked as if I was heading for a draw and boom! In the 93rd minute (last kick probably), their central defender scores a 30 yarder. And that was their 3rd or 4th attack in the entire match. Now here are the stats:
Serie A leading scorers: Pato (7), Milito (7), ..Huntelaar (4)....Ronaldinho (3). FRUSTRATING TO THE CORE!!!!!!
 
I've had the game for 3 weeks now and I am losing my patience with it totally. I've had 4 or 5 different approaches to it and still lose games constantly. It's very frustrating when you go through tactics, backroom staff advice, scouting players, looking at the opposition etc etc and yet.... still lose 6 games at the start of the season. It's really not very enjoyable and I wish I hadn't spent my money on it.

I'm currently managing FH in the Icelandic league, bought a couple of new players I had scouted for a while, started with 4-5-1, then 4-4-2, then 4-3-1-2 and a variety of different tactical changes and line-ups, and got beat in every single one of my first 8 games - by big margins in some cases. That's just not realistic when FH are playing teams who've just been promoted etc.

Also managed Betis in Spain and Celtic in Scotland and the same type of stuff was happening. With Betis I had 2 £2.5M players and got beaten 3-1 by Murcia??????

I cant stand the ******* backpasses. do you ever have it where you're in control of position and all of a sudden a player will do a mad backpass that goes out for a corner or puts the team under pressure.

Can't stand it.

Even worse is the ******* goalkeeper thing - when he catches the ball and THEN KICKS IT RIGHT OUT THE PARK AT 90 DEGREES TO HIM, what the **** is that all about?? Ridiculous.

losing to arsenal in carling cup final 3-0 at half time in second half my team made brilliant come back and made it 3-3 then arsenal got 2 late goals in the second half of extra time and won 5-3

Losing a game you dominate. And by dominate I mean, 67% possesion, 25 shots 20 on target....

I lost a game 2-0, they had 2 shots, both long shots, both stunner's of goals from 30+ yards, both from a player with a long shots rating of 8.

WHY....Please tell me WHY...
