Default Is the match engine finally good after 8.01?

I've stopped playing when I realised, that the original game was crap. I just want to know, is the game finally playable with the official patch. I've played some matches after installing it, and I was sh*t with my Liverpool team. Am I doing something wrong or the game got harder to achive glory, or simply the match engine is still not working?

Thanks for advance!

The game was perfectly playable out of the box in my opinion.

There could still be considerable further improvements though.

How on earth can you say it was playable out of the box? The only way you can say that ws if you didn't watch the game. Players running 60 yards without a tackle being made isn't a playable game....now the engine is good.

You'll see people saying they like it and people claiming it's awful. Just try it yourself and form your own opinion.

People's opinions seem to differ a lot. I myself find it very good and am enjoying watching the games now. Hope you'll like it as well.

I've had mixed experiences after patching. In one save, I was either winning 5-0, 6-0 or losing by the same scoreline. In another save, (the one I'm still playing) I'm enjoying myself very much, winning, losing, drawing, etc...

But there is still margin for improvement imho...

No, its not good and don't listen to the blind fanboys. Especially those who claim that the game was playable out of the box. These people just prove that a) have a twisted version of how football is played, b) have never really played the game in any depth, c) don't have a problem paying for unfinished games.

The truth is that the ME, as it is now, has major potential. Nothing more. Wait for a patch or really don't bother with the game if you want a serious management simulation of football until it is fixed.

The match engine is better, but it's still worse than on FM2007.

I also found the game playable out of the box, even if the closing down bug messed things up a bit.

Its better but it still has many problems such as closing down still not working as it should (maybe im unable to set it properly because of the retarded sliders), goalkeepers standing way too far from the goal, morale causing top players to play below L1 level, too many long shots and actual goals from waaay too far, players unable to score from gazillion of one on one chances and so on.

I guess they fix one thing and break something else so that the match scores seem realistic.
