I just want to say it really, really gets on my nerves when a player "agrees" to a contract then rejects it a few days later instead of signing. I know that happens in real life, but man, it's the most annoying thing in this game besides injuries.

one day after offering contract, update his offer with an extra 1k signing bonus and bam! he signs.immediately
 
Barcelona. It's the same on the game as it is in real life!

I played them in the Champions League Quarter Finals, and I missed a fair few chances but should have had 2 penalties and I had 3 goals disallowed. They score an offside goal, they get a penalty and I get a man sent off.

Ridiculous!
 
I'm absolutely sick beyond all belief of trying to sell players......and buying players for that matter. It's just ******* ridiculous. You can't get value for any of your players yet if you want to purchase a player then 99% of the time you're going to be paying well over the odds.

Wanted to buy Niang, scout him, scout says a bid of about 6 million. I'm thinking "that's quite a bit for a 16 year old, but he's a great talent", so I offer a deal worth 6 million plus percentage of next sale and arrange a friendly. They negotiate a deal for 20 million, including percentage of next sale and arrange friendly. At the same time I have clubs coming in for Welbeck and Cleverly, I negotiate to 10 million for Cleverly and 16 million for Welbeck, everyone backs out.

Clubs saying, they cannot possibly make an offer while the asking price remains at what it is when I'm offering Tomasz Kuszczak for 300,000, Park for 1.5 million or Anderson for 3 million. If I wanted to purchase a player of Anderson's calibre from another club then I sure as **** wouldn't be getting him for 3 million, even when transfer listed. Would be at least 10-15 million on the transfer list and probably 25-35 million not on the list.

Another thing that I have found is that if you negotiate a loan deal by putting up the fee the club will almost always accept only to have the deal fall through because they don't have the funds, why accept the negotiated offer then!?! After that, if you offer the player out again, apparently all the clubs that were interested yesterday now do not give a ****!

The worst thing though is definitely selling players you don't need, most of them will always have plenty of clubs interested but I can never seem to shift any of them for even a fraction of their value. End up sending them out on loan for a small fee or just stuffing them in the reserves.

Injuries as well as transfers have been a royal pain the ******* **** for years on footy manager now, I wish they would ****** sort it out.

So, to add to this now. I've tried to buy Maicon and Robben in previous games and had bids of up to 70 million rejected outright, no negotiations. So I decided, out of curiosity, just how much it would take to get a bid accepted. For Robben, 100 million, rejected. 130 million. rejected. 180 million, negotiated to 249 million. 249 million!? That is just daft beyond all proportions. Same story with Maicon except it was 224 million.
 
60% possession on a weaker team with poor morale

I lose 5-1....

so sick of this ******* game.

Hey!
I agree 100%. On my Spurs save, I tried to buy suarez and my bids were rejected and eventually they negotiated the offer for £120M pounds! thats ridiculous. He is definitely not worth that. Not even half that. I've even tried to buy 16-17 year olds and the offer has been negotiated to stupid amounts e.g. £55M pounds+.
So unrealistic with some of the prices.
 
So, managing Fortaleza in Brazil, pretty good so far. I find myself an experienced Sudanese striker, Kelechi Osunwa [pretty **** good for the Brazilian Second Division], so I sign him. £5k a week, Key Player. Could've paid a LOT for him if he wasn't a free transfer.

He's done alright for a few games, then I check my backroom advice. They tell me to move him down from Key Player to Important First Team. Now I've done this over the one and a half seasons with Fortaleza to a lot of players, so I think it's a good idea. Doesn't affect the wages. I do it, he's upset. I apologise, doesn't work. Eventually get annoyed and tell him to drop it, he doesn't.

He now doesn't want to work with me after this. Makes no sense since he's been at the club for about 5 months. :|

I've been lurking this forum for years but finally HAD to join just to get this off of my chest. First off, I want to echo Berbalicious on buying/selling players. What in the freaking blazes is up with this game?!!!!

Some of my favorite persistent bugs/annoyances are:
- go to re-sign a good player who was making like $1K/wk and now they want like $4.5K/wk. Um no chance so I let them walk. After not getting picked up by ANYBODY for about 3 months I find them on a roster making $250/wk. WTF!??!?
- my scouts will tell me that someone will probably sign for "low to high". Um, never the low, ALWAYS the high and most of the time, way more than the high.
- I've had great players set to "loan" status for YEARS and no one has ever asked, pursued, done anything, ever!! Why even have that as an option if no one will ever loan them? Why do my assistants tell me to set someone as available for loan? What a waste of code.
- Because all players I want always want WAY more than they'll take to be on any other team in the game, I always go broke just trying to field a senior squad. Screw the reserves. How could I ever afford reserves??
- Why does the **** newspaper ALWAYS predict me to win, even when I am in 23rd place and playing the 1st place team?? Then I lose, DUH, and the supporters and board are all upset at me and the snide guy writes "well I'm surprised by this". WHAT?!? Surprised that a team at the bottom on a 5 game losing streak lost to the 1st place team on a 10 game winning streak??
- Why are the choices in press conferences so unrealistic? if an opposing manager says that they doubt I'll be able to stay up, why should I have to choose between insulting them or saying something stupid like I think we will stay up when I know **** well we won't!?? How about a "I can see where they are coming from but my boys are fighting all they can"?
- Why do boards tell me I can only have 1 coach even after I fire the 4 freaking youth coaches they had? What low level team needs 4 YOUTH COACHES!?!? I need more than 2 coaches on my senior squad, not 4 Youth Coaches!!

ok...I have more but I need to towel off.
 
Too many injuries and prices are too high.

I'm sick on the injuries that come to gerrard that directly make him retired during my first season... swt, 8months of injury, then suarez got 4months injury, douglas costa comes forward and again 4 months injury and the last is Marek Hamsik that comes out with another 8 months injury... hello.... could anybody tell me what had happened to this game? suarez directly lost his star then....
 
when playing as a BSN/S team etc.. No1 ever wants to move to you and all your team is so bad! .. even with custom tactics just cannot do well with them!

Hey thats football mate, I mean it happens


But in FM land it just happens all the ******* time. Its great reading some of the excuses why the cpu can score so easily yet the human players couldn't hit water if they fell out a boat regardless of the stats.

I just had one of those games where in the last few minutes you know the cpu is going to score regrdless of what you do. Its a top of the table clash between (me) Vitesse Arnhem and Ajax and i was up 2-0 but a goal from Ajax 10 mins to go led to me thinking well its obvious whats going to happern.

I changed to two defensive midfielders, Retained possession, Pass to feet, dropped deeper but it didnt make any differenece so i decided to quit and try again and in every match (5) Ajax equalised in the last 5 mins despite my dominance.

2-2
1-1
2-2
3-3
1-1

When a big player for your club (Rooney at Man Utd) says he wants to leave as he as achived everything he can. (I did the treble last year only missed the league cup) I know if i sell him the fans and board wont be happy. Why cant i have a press conference saying that He asked to leave.

I agree. It's like the game just decides to even itself out, even though the other team dont deserve a thing, just that they are usually a bigger club. Load of ******* **** at times.

How did they score 3 goals with only 1 shot on target? Own goals?

I lost the Euro Cup final recently 2-1, Celtic didn't have a single shot on target. Apparently my players decided it'd be a laugh to score 2 own goals in the last 5 minutes.

Now that is just unlucky, think i've had 1 player out for 6 months+ and i'm now in 2034.

Not even joking if i had all them players go out i'd probably throw my laptop at the wall.
