Alright boyz, here we go!!! FM 2006 First Impressions

Can anyone tell me the logic behind my keeper coming up in the opposing team's box on a corner late in the game when my team is winning?

I've had this happen twice in big games now and when it does the opposing team always nails some 60+ yard blast to score the go-ahead goal while my keeper is trying to get back in net.

I should say go-ahead goal as in go-ahead on aggregate.

So frustrating...

what's your attack setting?

my player once scored on an 80 yd blast because of the above.

During that time of the game...it's always on normal/defensive to defensive. And the keeper's rating is set at ultra-defensive.

There seems to be a bug with my keeper settings however. At certain times during the match his settings at fwd runs / thru balls / crossing etc always goes from rarely to mixed. Then I have to manually set them back to rarely. I'm not sure why this happens??

[finketr]

do you change tactics? (the 3-4-3 to 4-5-1 type thing) because i believe that resets your players' individual settings.. still odd to have your keeper go forward anyway.

god, i love my keeper with 20 pace.

I mentioned this earlier - the same thing happens to the "free kick" defense for me - all the defenders who are set to "Man mark" get changed to "form wall" or "default", OR all the midfielders set to "form wall" get changed to "Default". I'm not sure why this is, but it bugs the hell out of me because there's on discernible event - it just happens, I concede a goal, and then realize this has happened.

does anybody know of a possible bug regarding players not getting the automatic one game suspension in England after they've accumulated 5 yellow cards?

It once happened that I thought a player had the "yel" tag warning me he was about to be suspended if he got another yellow. Eventually got one but back to the roster screen RIGHT AFTER the game, there were no tags. No "sus", nothing. I didn't make a big case of it back then but it just happened again, where a player with four yellow cards got one in a game and in the game, the commentary even told me that that player would be suspended for the next game. Same here, back to the roster screen, nothing about him being suspended, also nothing in my news items...

Anybody heard of a possible bug regarding that?

dola, this one goes more to Marc Vaughan for a FM2007 wish list of some sort. Is it possible to make sure a player will not get injured in training on gameday? I remember in FM2005, there was the checkbox "training on gameday" that we could untick, but it didn't matter as players still got injured in training on gameday. Now, when I saw we that the checkbox was gone, I thought it was because players would not train on gameday, thus not get injured but no, I still get players who play the whole game, then I receive an email AFTER the game telling that this or that player got injured after falling awkwardly during a training session. I mean, if that was in warmup, which could happen, then the player should not have played and I should have been allowed to replace him prior to kickoff, but then if it was not prior to the game, there should not be any training. Or change the writing on the thing and say something along the lines of "fell down a path of stairs, drunk, while celebrating at the local pub"

He was probably suspended in one competition, but your next match is in a different competetion so he is able to play.

nope, it's toward the end of the season with only league games still to play.

So nobody else has seen this, either while playing, or seen it reported somewhere???

Yes. It's happened to me several times but I never found it to distract from gameplay in any way.

Does anyone know of any issues with particular stats always coming in too low in regens? I have noticed a lot of low Determinations in the youngest players I am scouting in my Sheff Wed game (now in 2011).

I feel like I see Determination high in younger players much less now that they are mostly regens, and since I don't that this stat even changes, I think this could have a disturbing effect of the career of the game down the road.

Also, bringing up again a question I threw out there many, many pages ago in this thread: does not having the MLS active improve American regens? Without the draft bringing in crappy 22-23 year old players, are "regular" players generated as they are around the rest of the FM world, and consequently allowed to develop from 15-16 years and old and end up much better?
