everyones seems to complain about these problems but i find that they dont trouble me before patch and after patch still have a nice amoutn of shots on goal that would justify my win/draw/loss and i feel long have toned down even more since the patch now at least when i instruct not to they have followed the orders 90% perfectly

Damn you lol as I recently said in a thread my keyboard is duff and the only punctuation I have is a full stop occasionally I should have mentioned it but forgot because I was busy mashing the keyboard trying in vain for a full stop sorry for the lack of punctuation its not my fault honest

And some chances I have seen squandered are rooney hitting it over the bar from 6 yards 3times in one game id classify that as a quality chance

Basically this closing down and long shot bug is what is causing everyone to have 20 shots on goal but only resulting in 1 or 2 goals scored
I dont really understand how you come to that conclusion. Firstly the closing down bug is fixed, and secondly I am not aware of any proven "long shot bug" in any version of FM2008.

I cant comment further on your examples without viewing the actual matches.

However stats from a one season PL test I ran before it was released using patch code showed the following:

English Premier Division
---------------
Games played 380
Goals per match 2.39
Shots per match 23.32
Shots on target per match 12.31 (53%)

Cheers,
Paul

In this case the second part is almmost certainly correct.
Sure the creative part of his team is working well, but there's obviously a problem in the final third.

I'm going to guess that he's being too attacking, and too up-tempo.

If you can provide proper objective stats to back up your claims then please do so.
I have no stats I'm afraid, but from where I'm sitting there has been a problem with the game creating way too many great chances for years now. This is the root of the problem imho.

And strikers do shoot too early when clear through on goal. Well mine do anyway.

Both true, but neither are the reason for what's going on here. Both are certainly contributing, but his match stats suggest much more is going on. I believe it's tactical.

Wow, just wow. That's got to be the post of the year, too funny. If you are not winning it is something YOU are doing, it's not the game going out of it's way to cheat you. When I lose a match I may yell at my monitor or curse my bad luck but then I go back and try to figure out what I could have done better instead of blaming the coding of the game.
