1 Hmm i think that now the colsing down work well

2 know issue, to stop this lower mentality,play wider,play more defensively and slow down the tempo.This should prevent the issue

3 See point 2

4 It can happen, maybe is due to the mentality of a player, defender make mistakes IRL

5 Disagree... they do well for me

6 It happen sometimes, maybe depend on player mentality; if under mental pressure he can do the less dangerous thing, so he throw away the ball; the opposite, if a defender is too confident he can make wrong pass and allow opponent to score; it can happen

7 The number of yellow cards for me is reasonable, try to individually tell them to do light tackling

8 I've yet to see a red card in my games in my new game (6 months of game now), the injury i have to say that had been toned up by SI, especially match injury

9 it depend on who shot... try player with 18,19 and 20, they for me score 9+ a season this way

10 For me is a mix result, is fine

11 they worked too much in beta 2 (Tevez for me scored load of goal this way), now maybe too much occasion are wasted even by good headers

12 Don' have any problem about this, they do well for me

Another few issues I've noticed are
1) When corners are set to mixed, 9 time out of 10, they go to the near post and don't clear the first man. And I have never scored from one, even with a Premiership standard target man.

2) A lot of goals are scored from rebounds - possibly too many? My striker always seems to shoot (straight at the keeper most of the time, thanks to the shooting) and then scores from a rebound. Or, my striker shoots, keeper knocks it away, my other striker is lurking for a tap in. Happens a lot. Not saying it's unrealistic, just saying it happens too often. Nearly every goal I score is like this.

3) Strikers are crap at one on ones. The amount of shots that go straight at the keeper or a fluffed completely wide is ridiculous. What about just wide, over the bar or saved to the side?

Point 2 happens to me all the time too.

full backs and def mid's are far better in this game, I actually see me full backs over lapping now when they're supposed to. Central midfielders work really well if they have the right attributes.

Is annyone scoring from distance ? I see that a lot of people are saying thet they can't score from distance. I can't even remember when did i score a long shot. I'm playing 4-2-3-1 with Barca , have silva,ronaldinho,massi,fernandes,vdv and alot more but no goals. Is this so for everyone ?

The whole goal scoring/one on one thing is annoying but I have to agree that what REALLY makes it tedious is the lack of any real variety in goals. In real life goals come from everywhere and anywhere. This new match engine has constantly similar goals (over the top long balls, rebound tap ins etc).

The match engine is just so boring now, I would be happy with just one or two clear cut chances in a game (like it often is in real football) that are mostly scored.

Also is it just me or is there loads of long shots tipped over the bar by the keeper? Can they not hold these now and then..every long shot seems to be a cracker that needs a spectacular save or an absoulute howler of a shot that goes miles wide. What happened to the keeper holding the ball from a medicore shot or it going just wide or over?
