Post Your Frustrations

[*James*]

My frustration is that so many of the Premier League 10/11 kits are really hard to make.... I have got stuck on so many, and am likely to get stuck on so many more.....

I'm playing Hereford in Premier 2015/2016 season, we played Stoke at home (yes Hereford are in the Prem., thanks to my stunning ability at the game !-LOL! ) Bergovic takes a free kick just outside his penalty area, lumps the ball forward and my goalkeeper gazes towards the heavens as the ball sails over his head into the goal !! . I have been playing FM since 2002, and must have played hundreds of games and never, ever have I seen a goalkeeper score (apart from penalties of course), either for or against me. I was not a happy bunny , and we lost 2-1 which made it even worse. Anyone else experienced this strange goalkeeping phenomenon ?

I have had a similar one, but in my favour.

Adler takes a goal kick, ball ends up in opponent's box. Opposing team goalkeeper jumps for it or something - own goal. Adler runs all the way to the other side of the pitch and back in celebration. That is a pro goal - although it was given as an own goal rather than Adler scoring.

I am in need of players and I'm trying to save every penny to save Arsenal from a financial loss. So I sell aot of players and I'm down to about 18 or 19.

I sell my RB backup (Eboue) leaving Sagna to fend for himself.
I sell Eduardo and Van Persie, Vela and Walcott are left.
I also buy Gourcuff for 12m stretching my finances so much that I have to stay away from buynig players for years.

The next match Sagna gets a 3 month injury, Vela gets a 9 month injury, Walcott gets a 2 month injury, and Van Persie is out for 3 months. And Gourcuff (my new signing) is injured for 4 months on his debut.

Sold my back-ups for defence and my strikers get injured leaving my 2 players down after using my 3 substitutions.

I can't understand how some of the best strikers in the world (rooney, dzeko, berbatov) when alone in front of the keeper, can shoot 10 times during one match straight to the keeper, or the woodwork, I just hate them, I don't know why I pay them so much.

 

[ScallyLFC]

Long shots and one on ones.

ARRRRGGGGHHHH

Ok so I am manager of Hartlepool FC. After a few months a consortium plans to takeover and will replace me with another manager. Anyway the takeover breaks down and things go back to normal. I get promoted to championship a few months later. In the middle of August I am finalising a deal to replace my star left winger when another consortium makes a bid, forcing a transfer embargo, so I cant sign anyone and have no left mids. And to really put the icing on the cake, they tell me if they are successful they'll replace me with mu assisstant manager. XD

This game is so unrealistic, it doesnt matter what players you have they still make retarded decisions with the ball. I have used all the tactics that have been highly recommended on this site and yet my team still suck the big one. Its not like i have a bad team either.

I find it amusing that no matter who i play against they seem to be scoring from 30 yards out it a complete joke, of course goals like this happen in real football but not every single game.

Think its time to put this piece of **** in the bin like i did with 09.

The fact that all my teams find it impossible to shoot from range, all my goals are from inside the box. There's no variation :/

Long shots to often + high long shooting ability + good composure = profit, I've found

 

[Danyul]

Only a small thing, but left me fuming. 2-0 down vs RC lens (me being Lyon), ripped into my team at half time, and with 10mins to go I'd pulled it back and gone 3-2 infront. So I change to contain and said "play even safer". What happens? Players push forward, get caught on a counter and draw 3-3. I SAID PLAY SAFER IDIOTS

But when the computer team takes shots no matter who is hitting them they sail in from all over the place.

The game is nothing close to a realistic simulation of being a football manager.

When I faced Man Utd in my older save, Rooney just did unrealistic shots from the corner area and halfway into my box and into the top corners.

But then again the game does have good points but it is unrealistic. I was 2-0 to Stoke and ended up winning 5-4.........

Then goal itself doesnt bother me since I won 4-2, but it is the way he scores the goal...

I always seem to score long range efforts, even with bad teams

My biggest frustration is this:
I am playing as Real Madrid "should be easy" i hear you all say....
Well, I cruised through my friendlies, even beating AC Milan 4-0, but, when i started the season, I have drawn every single game (5 games, 5 draws) even against Almeria..
I m using the same tactics as in the friendlies, but making general tweaks based on my backroom staff advice.. Is this happening to anyone else, or is it just me????

i dont rate your team higly mate and just play a 442 or a 451 when playing lower ranked teams like almeria put a few players who you dont normally play in to boost there morale and they will play hard to impress and keep a place in the team i suggest review your assistants comments every 20-30 mins in a match aswell so you are always on top of the game and less likley to concede. start before the game to asign man-Marking to your centre backs and midfeilders dont necseserally have to assign your wingers to man - mark and this should prevent you from drawing and should kick-start your fun of form!(H)

Getting tired of hitting the post and crossbar. The number of shots that hit either the post or crossbar is ridiculous! It is really starting to ruin the game for me when I keep losing the matches that I control because I have 2-3 posts or crossbars. Sure there has to be the element of chance in the game but how is it chance when you have constant run of posts/crossbars?

To me this is something that is not under my influense (training etc.) or even should be. It's preposterous that the few inches that the ball needs to go into goal would somehow be down to training. I really take this as a big "f*ck you" from the game. Or is it just that the SI has made this game too easy that this is the manifactured way they even up the score. It's really starting to **** me off.

(Sorry the spelling. English isnt my first language) :$

Hmm, directly opposite of mine. My players seem to shoot and score from everywhere (Luis Suarez just scored a 40m scorcher), while the computer team always scores from crosses or inside the box. Could it be your tactics?
