I can't believe this, heskey has only scored 3 in 4 games in euro 2008 for me

as for the wordclass problem here's an example:
aguero 1st season with beta patch: 58 goals in 54 matches. ended season with 8+ rating
aguero 2nd season with beta patch: 50 goals in 48 matches. ended season with 8+ rating
aguero 3rd season with 8.0.1 patch: 35 goals in 40 games, 1 month injury, missing lots of chances, plays like crap during the first 45 minutes, and finishes some games with 6 rating. he's still having the same amount on goal chances, tactics are the same etc etc. ended season with 7.80

I bought him for 15 million euros, played 20 games so far and he has 9 goals, 7 assists and 3 MOM awards...

Apart from the "4 goals in 6 games" complain, the rest is correct!

I can not give you screen shots but believe me, I am not lying, Adebayor missed a tap in from approximately two yards against Derby. I was going nuts but scored a 85th minute winner through Eduardo. Then, in the following game against Besiktas (CL), Adebayor did it once again, no goalie, no defenders, only him and 7 meters of goal and he hit the post.

I finished that game with 36 shots, 23 on goal. First of all, this is almost impossible. To have an average of one shot every two and a half minutes, your opponent must give you the ball every time they get to your half and then start running back to their box to defend. Yet, more than half of Besiktas players finished with ratings GE 7. (fortunately I won with two late RVP strikes)

FM08 is really unrealistic after the patch, it is a shame. And this comes from a man not underperforming, all three of my current teams are leading their divisions, just beat Man Utd at Old Trafford with Fenerbahce, who also won their first ten games in the league. Yet, I look at the match stats after each game and sigh. Unrealistic!

The superkeeper issue does need looking at though, there's always been superkeepers in the CM/FM series but the new patch has made it every game if you've found a sucessful tactic (ie defensive counter).

Well i will be calm with my words. But the patch really made the game so hard and really really annoying.

I installed the patch 12 games before the end of the season and i was able to score 20 goals and concede 6.

I play barcelona and i have signed many amazing players for free transefer
like
Araon
Alberto Bueno
Merida
Rafinha.

After the season was over now i have played 28 games in all competitions only able to score 16 goals and conceded 12

The issue is i have tried million tactics and instructions for my players and i have tried like 8 tactics posted in the FM tactics section still GK are very very unreal.. They save one on ones like it's a 30m shot.

Yes the closing down is great.. Mid Field passing makes more sense now But the goal keepres are Amazingly nice..

This season i have got aguerro and he scored only twice in 18 games.. Missing 25 one on ones. Some of them he placed very far and some other typical finished are Brilliantly saved..

Please Fm Do some testing and report us back if this was our fault or it's a Bug created from the fix list you have done..

Thanks everybody.

Maybe some of u should read the SI post´s.... they tryed to explain that the goal per game ratio is reduced with 8.01, and this make the game much more realistic, now its a pretty realistic ratio from 2-3goals per play. Okay, they didnt wrote a completly new match engine, so just make the keepers little bit better, and the striker dont hit every shoot, but sorry i think realistic game scores, and player scores (4 goals in 6 games... with this average a player would win every year scorer list in germany for example) are more important than realistic shoot per goal stats.
