Oh my God, I honestly think SI deserve a round of applause
they have done it! what a huge difference, this is what a football manager game needs to be! I say this now as I won 3:0 but you can just tell its quite close to perfection in my opinion!
The ball movement is much more realistic, it actually slows down instead of picking up pace like a snowball hurlting down a ski slope, the players movements are so much better and realistic, I scored a goal that I had never seen before, great one touch around the box, headed cross from the left and Long on the half volley, left foot cracked it top left, it was brilliant!
the defenders actually defend (I say this but Chris Samba on my QPR save is the highest averaged player in the league in Jan at 8.08 pre patch) but the mistakes were just out of control..
the keepers are positioned much better on the near post and act more like real keepers should..
I did not get many crosses in the box, Samba and Mbia dealt with the one or two that did get in passed my fullbacks easily (pre patch Odemwingie would have scored both the goals against arguably the two biggest/strongest defenders in the EPL for a non top 4 team excl Stoke)
so that was nice
anyway, back to Fm to continue, its just a really nice feeling to know that what you ask the players to do on the pitch is actually being done on match day and no more silly mistakes that lose you 3 points or 2 points in the last minute of the game..
