It was actually more static. Which is why people liked it. You also could play a poacher and score 80 goals. Which was a pretty massive flaw. But no one seems to care because they could win.I personally prefer the FM12 engine, because it had less problems and it seemed more fluid to me.
Exactly the same thoughts myself.If I'm honest I actually prefer FM13, I've not been unlucky as some with the match engine and generally my experience has been good (aside from the odd bug/mistake). FM13 seems more realistic to me and seems to flow better, I'm probably one of the only people here who thinks this though!
I do have to agree with you on that, it seems as though the change from FM12 to FM13 was bigger than usual and players found it quite unusual and uncomfortable.It was actually more static.

FM13 hands down. Attributes matter even more, its no longer predominately about pace. You have to think a little bit more. You get rewarded a lot more when you get it right, and punished when you get it wrong.
Although its moot, since the latter is an objectively better engine and they wont be going back ever.
Yeah there was a huge leap, which was made worse by the 13.2 patch not being great. And made even worse by the many misconceptions that float around here, such as people think attacking football must be played on fluid (CANNOT STRESS HOW MUCH THIS IS NOT TRUE) What FM14 needs badly is documentation akin to TT&F 10, but scaled down.I do have to agree with you on that, it seems as though the change from FM12 to FM13 was bigger than usual and players found it quite unusual and uncomfortable.
Oh yes, there's quite a lot of those. Worth a thread, to be honest. Also what is a CCC and the degree of importance of the long shots slider and work ball into box shout regarding how many long shots are taken.Mike. said:the many misconceptions that float around here, such as people think attacking football must be played on fluid (CANNOT STRESS HOW MUCH THIS IS NOT TRUE)
My poacher actually got 92 goals one season. I always thought it was because i was so epic (H)It was actually more static. Which is why people liked it. You also could play a poacher and score 80 goals. Which was a pretty massive flaw. But no one seems to care because they could win.

oh is that an exploit in FM12?!?!?! wand here i was thinking i bought an awesome player lol and hes only 4th best of my own strikers according to my coaches. you've just taken away all my sense of accomplishment for wbing top one league one. but on the other hand he's been injured for the last 2 months and ive been without a pocher as well.My poacher actually got 92 goals one season.

Seriously though FM12 was pretty lame and easily exploited, its easy to see why the noobs loved it.

anyway how much of the bugs in FM 13 have been ironed out? can i buy it now without fear of tearing my hair out?
Players could literally run through each other like they were not there. So a quick poacher was almost unstoppable. Glad that is gone.Not really many bugs in FM 13 now, its a lot harder than FM 12 which some noobs class as a bug but its just more realistic. Its moving towards a situation where you need to change your match strategy depending on the match. Personally i will miss plug and play tactics but sometimes you have to involve. I can see FM 14 being even harder.
Oh and yes fm12 had a huge striker bug, sorry, particularly if you set them to attack near post on corners and place your corners there![]()
