It's getting worse. Monreal and Chambers down. Had to use Flamini as a makeshift LB as Monreal went down and I had no defensive subs available. Still won the game though

I remember one save where I had a similar plague and the board sacked me. I to plead my case citing injuries but the board didn't care.

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

Aston Villa finally got a new president after numerous other people falling through in this game. Unfortunately for me, the new owner wants to appoint a new manager, but is willing to give me a try. First time in FM I've been part of a takeover. I've lost 4 of my last 5, so I better turn this around fast.

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

rsonmar, how often are you seeing more then 4 goals per game and stupidly high scoring games? It was quite often to me so I've not been playing it at the moment.

There has just been an update though, so expect things to change. Last beta the match engine changed dramatically.

Anners, I'm not seeing stupidly high scoring games. In fact, SZCZ is on a 5 match clean-sheet streak. The release notes for the new update says they fixed the high scores on lower leagues, so maybe the problem you are seeing only affects lower league play. Hopefully SI actually fixed it, so your Portadown save will be more fun.

The one big problem I am seeing, as I have stated before in this thread, is injuries. Not just the high number, but the severity as well. But then again maybe SI programmed it to make Arsenal players as fragile as glass, you know, to be realistic.

Arsenal players made of glass? That's not happening to me at all....ughhh

My typical Danish domination took place, after a rocky start at Viborg, I released the players who were mad at me, and brought in a few players on loan, and ended up winning the Danish Cup(Only had to beat one Superliga team), and getting promoted from the first division, and.... fired.

Fired after promotion? That's ridiculous. Hopefully your success will lead to quick re-employment.

Injuries are still killing me. Chambers just twisted his knee, so now I have no fit right backs and one fit left back. Or, as FM puts it, I'm down to "bare bones." Methinks my current unbeaten streak shall not be lasting much longer.

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

First Van Gaal got fired, then Spurs fired their manager. And on the same day I signed a 10.5 mil 4 year extension.

Board Promises seem to be much more important than years prior. They wanted me to play defensive, direct and score from set pieces, I did none of those three, and the board would never let me negotiate out from under them. Even with the Cup Win and the Promotion, they determined it was better to let me go. I had a short stint at Barnsley(18 days) before the board drastically altered the budgets and started yelling at me, so I quit, now it's been a year or so since I've been employed, but jobs are starting to interest me. I like the interviews before hire now, it's much better.

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

So after signing with Sheffield United, I've come to the conclusion that the match engine just isn't where it needs to be. It's so tiresome watching non-existent mistakes happen. Many a time in real life I've seen defenders take the wrong path to the ball and get beat, I've seen lazy passes get intercepted and start a counter, but my defenders just stop as though there's an imaginary line, they don't defend, they don't pressure the ball like they're instructed to, they hit the top of the penalty box, and stop defending. I've lost plenty of matches and only one of them has ever felt satisfying, like a true loss, almost every other one has felt like the computer decided i was going to lose, and no one on my team could stop it. It's not nearly as bad as FM14's initial match engine, but this one still definitely needs work.

The big mistake I've seen is that keepers parry the ball weakly when they should catch it, but that's been a rare occurrence. I haven't really noticed the issues you addressed (I've seen them, but they've been rare, which seems realistic given that even the best players will make the odd lazy pass), but maybe it's because I'm playing with a top team. SI has said the high scores were a problem in the lower leagues, so I might recommend temporarily playing in a top league until SI fixes the lower league problems. It would suck if you had to do this, since you should be able to play in whatever league you want without worrying about the match engine, but it might lead to less frustration.
