Mate i have said this numerous times but you will always get a mod coming and telling you that there is no difference between the ai and user team?
That sounds great in theory yet every grain of evidence points to a very ****** up match engine where the user team needs double the chances the ai does. SI can tell me that the match engine isnt a mess and that the user and ai are on a level playing field but everything i have seen in my numerous saves and reading through other peoples complaints shows the evidence that the user and ai are not on a level playing field.
The game is a ******* embarrassment to be honest, one of the most basic things you are told when you are younger is to go to the ball not wait on it coming to you yet if you watch the match engine you clearly see players stand and wait for the ball to come to them which in turn usually leads to your player losing a tackle and a breakaway.
What about when your player takes a corner and it gets headed back out but your player just stands and watches as the defence breaks out with the ball even though your player could have got to the ball first.
You have players taking free kicks and passing it to players who are not even looking and it hits of them and the cpu collects the ball. Basic stuff that shouldn't be happening as regularly as SI has it happening.
What about the amount of goals that get scored where a cross comes in and the defender is looking in the opposite direction and it hits off him and into the net.
Players that run toward a free ball with no pressure on that suddenly decide to stop running and in comes the tackle from behind and then the defender loses the ball. I see this most when its a goal kick its headed back over the defence and the defender gets to it first but runs so slow that it allows the forward to tackle from behind with no free kick and get a chance on goal.
FM 12 wont be any better either, these gaming companies would rather hit you every year with some new in game gimmick that supposed to be great rather than fixing what needs to be fixed. Personally i am sick to the back teeth of lining the pockets of gaming companies who release bug filled games every year. They know people are going to buy them regardless.
Because there isnt. Fact not theory. the ME CANNOT TELL THE DIFFERENCE. So tired of people claiming the opposite. So tired of people will blame the game for everything. there are plenty of flaws still to be fixed, but stop blaming the game for your mistakes people. Zico you even sent me your save and i showed that it wasnt the game, rather your approach, that was causing you trouble
these are the current real issues with the me among other things:
Current Issues
1: Defenders turning their back on the ball.
2: Defenders clearing the ball out for corners rather than into touch or down the pitch. Numerous times players bang the ball out behind them when it is perfectly possible to clear it to other areas.
3: Attackers freezing when wide of the goal and in the last 6 yards. Players don't know what to do in this position and tend to do very unrealistic things.
4: Back crosses are still a little overpowered. This is not too bad and only happens if you have a strong/quick and tall player coming in on the far post. For example, my MR scores a lot of far post headers from open play, but his jumping is 19. My AML (jumping 5) doesn't.
5: Central players with high vision not seeing the overlap. The FBs can get in really good wide positions in this ME, but are too often ignored when they get there.
6: Goalkeeper not commanding his box.
7: Direct free kicks being underpowered.
8: Pressing could be more aggressive, especially high up the pitch. However, I have seen my team, when fired up, press the ball all the way down the pitch from the edge of my own area, forcing a backpass to and wild clearance from the opposition goalkeeper.

Unless you are willing to a) approach the game in a logical manner and b) check your approach rather than deciding the game is a fault, those people might as well stop playing FM full stop
Gonna have a ****** heart attack before long
