Nail, head. :thup:

I ended my testings.

1st somethings about "in-game time"

-1 notch to the left of the centre:

60 seconds of real time last about 45 seconds on that notch



-2 notches to the left of the centre

60 seconds of that "2 notches time" last around 50 seconds in reality



ball speed:

this one is realy hard to figure it out, becouse there is no real time in our game

I was measuring how much time does GK need to kick the ball from goal kick to a player. also comparing it to some real life matches (4 games).

IRE GK needs somewhere around 3-3.5 even 3.6 second to do that. it looks to me that the ball is qoick enough on "1 notch" measurement, but so are the players. another thing is that, that time doesn't suite the reality.

other research I did, was to observe players IRE and how much time they spend, waiting for the ball. this observation is based only on my feelings, of course.

anyway I believe that players IRE don't wait for the ball as much as on FM. IRE players move more to recieve the ball, even though it might be a small movement (few meters). but they put more effect to receive the ball becouse the ball is faster.

my conclusion is that the ball is "1 notch too slow".

this wasn't a professional test, some things were based on my feelings, but also on observation. I think that SI should consider this.

but 1 thing that bothers me most is why there isn't a real time?

That's three posts I've seen by you now in a short space of time that have been pointless and contributed nothing to the topic in question. If you've got nowt useful to say then just say nowt.

As far as the closing down thing goes Jimbo I've had similar issues to you. My players do close down but can be seen to then not bother making the tackle.

But as I'm playing in the Blue Square North I've so far just assumed it is because they're completely useless. Interestingly though my full backs do seem to get very low ratings compared to the rest of my team so you may be onto something. </BLOCKQUOTE>

Defo, I find Yobo is a bad offender (I put this down to in RL the guy tends to be lazy and is prone to making errors)

Also Bananas, You're predicament is similar to mine. I find players take an age to react to a through ball from their or my team, often giving the opposition ridiculous opportunities

is it arrogant to say I expect the answer from SI to my previous question?

the question is how come that we don't have a real time? what's the point?

Would you by chance play with the offside trap ?

What you describes seems to me like a poor attempt (or a bugged one) of offside trap

Was going to start a thread about this the other day. I've noticed it consistently with full backs (although CBs as well) that they will move towards where they need to be, often get there before the attacker and then stop, i've tried tweaking mentality (as i thought i'd set them too offensive to track back) and clising down, and marking, but so far no improvement, as i said in a previous thread, it is becoming more a case of whose attacking players have a better day rather than tactics working as to who wins.

I think Einstein is the fella to ask about that... General relativity wasn't it?!

Sorry mate, only joking. I'm not sure what SI would have to say about the lack of real time in the game, I guess they would need it to simulate speed?

A good spot though! I'm far too busy wondering why I keep conceding silly goals!

i doubt it was an attempt to play the striker offside, because the defender ran up towards the top of the pitch, rather than running forward to cause the offside. if it was, it's seriously bugged.

No. I wouldn't say it was arrogant. A little unrealistic perhaps, but certainly not arrogant.
