As I've said many times already in the recent past. FM08 has no place in my computer because it has problems that make me not want to play it.

Guess how many rant threads I've started? 0
Guess how many bug reports I've made? More than you could ever be bothered to read.

So what's more useful to SI?

Absolute tosh.

If every person who started a mindless rant instead put in a bug report then it would be a much better way of reminding SI and also getting things fixed.

Well, i just tried to give FM another chance. AS i am bored and cant be bovered to get of my a**. And guess what, 3-0 down at half time. Guess how many shots ive had...17!!!!! how many have the AI had?? 3!!! Its a disgrace and no body can honestly sit here and say that my tactics are the reason why my strikers cannot hit a barn door from six f*****g yards!!!!

Ackter

It's a game. What you're doing is choosing tactics that for some reason are causing that to happen.

It's not right, but it's still your tactics.

Thats rubbish ackter and we both know it!!
It had nothing to do with my tactics as they are ripping the opposition defence to shreads!! but cannot finish! since when did playing a different tactic make a striker better at finishing a sitter aye ?

Ackter

It's a game. Everything that happens in it happens because of the data involved. The data that you are giving it is causing these things to happen - otherwise it would be causing the same thing to happen to everyone and the AI as well.

Say you're playing Splinter Cell - you start rushing around shooting things and you get killed. Do you keep rushing around over and over again or do you change the way you play it?.

For now, the best thing you can do is to try and work out a way to get the ME responding how you want it to.

Ackter is completely right here. Software is not magic.
The match engine doesn't care if one team is a human team.

Maybe the final result is not so realistic (17 shots from one side, no goal, and 3 shots from one side and 3 goals), but it is your tactic that's causing it.

So yeah, they should fix the logic of the match engine... But the current fact is that it's your tactic that's causing you not to score.

A striker who miss constantly in 1 on 1 in real life doesn't say, dun blame me, blame it on the boss. It was his tactics.

Ackter

This isn't real life. It's a game.
