The learning curve on this game... Argh. Still, it's nice to play a game where you actually have to think (that's in comparison to games like FIFA where you learn a pattern of play and repeat, repeat, repeat...)

One day I shall win a promotion on this game ^_^
 
I set my manager with a password, but it's really getting on my nerves now. Does anyone know how to take it off??
 
One thing is annoying me. It doesn't matter what team I play. It seems like everytime I get a penalty when trailing, they miss. This is often combined with outplaying the opposition in all manners, and still loosing. It doesn't matter if the player is a master of penalities...he misses!! I must admit, it feels like the game is cheating me when this happens 9 out of 10 times. Whyyyy!!????
 
One of the few times this game made me rage was when this happened

Those two penalties changed the final outcome of both of the matches and me and Anzhi got eliminated :@
 
Sh*te players who are not good enough constantly moaning and wanting to move away but when they get the chance to go they say the wages offered aren't high enough.
 
Can someone explain to me how this exactly works? Like yeah understandable it's done on average rating but why aren't goals and assists taken into account more? Even last season Messi won it when he had 28 goals 10 assists in 39 games when Suarez had 66 goals 17 assists in 47 games for me and came second.

I think posting it in the frustrations thread was a great idea! From what I can tell in my decade long playing of CM and then FM, I've noticed that, for the most part, the AI ignores or greatly devalues your team versus the rest of the universe. Just this past season, I had a Striker with 14 more goals than the second place guy, basically the biggest stud in the league. He won only "best foreign player" and that was it. Every team in the world should have wanted to sign this guy for millions upon millions. He, in fact, wanted a huge contract to sign back with me and I couldn't afford him so I tried to sell him, even for way below his value. NOT ONE TAKER! It is now 6 months since I had to release him on a free and he still has not signed with anyone! CUT ME A FREAKING BREAK!!! Meanwhile, guys who are scoring less than my 4th best scorer, are being acquired for triple their value!

No doubt, the AI does downgrades the real life manager's players and I defy anyone associated with the game to say otherwise.
 
Something that is starting to annoy me now, whatever I say in a team-talk, Fabio Coentrão always reacts negatively or he doesn't react at all, his morale is always either fairly poor or lower, I don't know what to do
 
very frustrated

first of all,i would like to say that i am a huge fan of manager,and i've been playing it for quite a long time...but,i cant understand some idiotic things that happen during the match...i am playing with arsenal,and since season started,i had a 10 or more matches won,and no lose,team played superbly...suddenly,chelsea beat me on home ground,and everything changed..now,i can't even beat stoke at home...my strikers dissapeared (cavani,walcott - who scored 32 goals 2y ago,now scored 2 goals in like a year and a half,and rossi,who scored 5 goals in first 3 matches,and then off course dissapeared,and rooney signed for my club,but he's playing like an amateur)...and my favourite thing in manager is the almighty goalkeepers on the opposing goal...they have special powers,and walcott cant even score from 5 meters,'cause its not realistic,i guess....not to mention 3 or more goalposts my players hit in almost every match!? i think it is all so artificial in order for game to be more interesting,and it actually is not,when those things happen! although,i know that eventualy i am going to win league,still it is very frustrating,and i cant stand these things...so if anyone has some sugestion,i would really appreciate it...and sory for bothering you!:)
 
Every game something unrealistic happens. Carling Cup final and my rb decides to take a touch in the box and then gets dispossessed and we concede. Sorry but a world class rb like Corchia would clear it immediately, not take some awful touch to be dispossessed.Last game

Carra did the same thing. Takes some dreadful touch and is dispossessed for Gyan to go through on goal. Whatever, it happens. The unrealistic thing is Coates who was close by would have run across to pressure and try and recover. That sounds normal, right? Nope, in Football Manager Coates watches Gyan run through while standing still. Cya Gyan! Send me a postcard after you've scored!

Yet more unrealism. In real life, Reina would dive to save this ball. In FM he too decides to just merrily watch the ball roll into the goal. **** ME.

just say the right things..will come with experience, and when your players begin to trust you more.
 
When the South African leagues contracts end frustrates me, they end 31st May which is fine for most teams but for a team in the Cup final or in the promotion playoffs it can be a pain (I lost a good bunch of players before I finished my season because of it).

Edit: Another annoying thing, when you get promoted and have your wage budget reduced to pretty much what the wages of your club are at the time, makes it very hard to sign players if your trying to keep under your wage budget
