Patch 8.0.1. Shots to Goal Ratio not fixed - SHOCKING!! SI Please answer - believe to be related to Closing down and Long shots bug
I thought the 8.0.1 patch would fix the closing down and long shots bug by now. But no it hasn't. Long shots seems to have been toned down a little, closing down seems to sometimes work sometimes doesn't.
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. Fair enough only 2% of the shots go in. But if the opposition win as a result of 3 - 4 shots where you had 20 thats unfair and unrealistic.
There is a game in there where Ipswich had 5 shots but NO/NOTHING/ZERO shots had hit the target AND THEY STILL SCORED!?!??! That game cost me 2 points.
Since the patch I lost in the champions league, FA cup final and my run of form in the league.
There are a load of people complaing about the number of shots per goals since the installing the patch. So its not just me
I believe the long shot and closing bug has not been toned down enough or at all. This is why players are shooting outside of box when told not to and missiing targets therefore resulting in 20 shots on goal.
And before you tell me to upload my games to the bugs forum I HAVE SINCE OCTOBER
Its £24.99 of my hard earn money that Ive payed and not been able to play since I first purchased it (October). Waited and waited for weeks and weeks for a decent patch to fix things. But still unable to play.
Now I have to wait till 2008 for the 8.0.2 patch

Some stats using my 433 team, with Dean Ashton up front on his own:
Matches: 28
Shots: 366
On Target: 211
% of shots on Target: 58
(I don't have individual player stats from just those 28 games, so I have to go with the last 40):
Dean Ashton has scored 33 goals in 40 games from 153 shots - 97 of those shots were on target (coming in at 63% of total shots were on target).
That's a 34% success rate - ie he scores with one of every three shots on target.

No but I expect after creating 30 chances that my players consisting of Rooney, Pato, Podolski, Fernandez and Anderson would at least put away 2 of those chances and win teams that create 4 chances.
