Football Manager 2015

[Gazz]

Since that post, I've won three on the bounce and moved up to 2nd in the 2. Bundesliga.

[Gazz]

One for the neutral...

4-2 down with 7 minutes left to 5-4 up in the 93rd minute only for them to equalise in the 95th.

Verhoek also complained about a lack of first team football before the game so I threw him in to give him a chance.

[JasonM]

That's some elite level Fergie Time if I ever saw any.

[Liam]

Way too many big comebacks as well. Had 3-3 and 4-4 results from 3-0 and 4-0.

I mean, it happens, but it is the inevitability with which it happens.

[Baddar]

Sounds like FIFA online.

[Gazz]

The match engine is okay in general but there are some massive flaws in it that are leading to these massive scores.

Just what I've seen personally

Goalkeepers take an age to get back to their feet after making a save, usually just in time to see the opposition running off to celebrate scoring the tap in

Parrying in general is really weak, leading to easy shots being parried into the net.

Long shots are overpowered

Free kicks are overpowered

Lack of tackling

Lack of closing down

Defenders rarely attack defensive corners

The game occasionally looks like it does when you play FIFA on amateur difficulty.

I switched to 2d classic gameplay (not for PC reasons, I can play pretty much anything on ultra/high), makes the game more enjoyable for me.

I like that they have the option of 3D but it just looks stupid and frustrates me.

[stokeriño]

I do think that HT 3-0 FT 4-3 is probably my most common scoreline thus far...

It's a very good thing I have at least one striker who's capable of scoring that extra fourth goal in the second half, or I'd be fucked.

[Baddar]

This is why I've never been arsed about getting FM on or before release. In the Xmas sale, it'll be about £12, and I'm getting a far superior game to those who paid full whack.

[Bobfoc]

I'm the same way. These days, I'm not even really tempted by the latest releases because I'm usually still having fun with the previous year's version.

[stokeriño]

Obviously I'm too impatient for such wisdom. >_>

I don't have any game-killing problems with the current state of FM15, though. It's a little odd or unrealistic in places, but nothing that makes me want to throw my computer across the room (unlike some previous iterations...).

The closest thing to an issue I have is probably the unreasonable backroom tantrums that some players throw, rather than anything in the match engine.

[Benji]

I don't find any major issue with it at all. There's more goals being scored than in real life, but really that's not even close to breaking the game for me, it doesn't change the difficulty or stop me playing in any way.

I had the whole team unhappy with me as I didn't play one player often enough - he wasn't even that good, and the players he would have replaced were even upset about me not playing him.

Admittedly, a couple of games of playing him made it all die down, but still felt a little unrealistic.

[Benji]

Eh, it's not totally unrealistic, an unhappy loud mouth at any work place can unsettle fellow staff in the short term. I do wish there were more punishments for that though, like forcing them to train with the Under 19s for a week so they don't bother the other players so much.

[Liam]

I've bought 17 players on my move from 2nd to 1st Division (playing in Germany).

I can't see this ending well.

[Gazz]

Die Southampton Model?

[Thrilla]

I can't see this ending well.

That sort of plan is working out okay for Paderborn this season.

[Liam]

I just bought anyone that was suggested would be worthwhile.

Not really the best plan, but I drew my 1st game, so I'll take it.

Those problems were in the last FM. So not shocked to see they've added a bunch of stuff but not fixed stuff that could be fixed.
