This game is so flawed

I play this game since the beginning in myold amiga 500. For the first time the game is infuriating for good. I play a online with a friend . Benfica to him Sporting CP to me. in 5 seasons i have seen things that i never tought that was possible. Example....i Beat Barça 5-1 (unreal) but i was beated with same tactic 7-2 with 2 goals in the first 2 m. It~s impossible to avoid errors after errors. So i have to say that this version is unreal. I read about tactics away and at home......but how can you win if strikers with atributtes high fail to score in 4-5 chances alone with the gk? and oposition players with low atributtes socring in the first chance? To see errors from gk? Gk in midfield line to take freekicks. Defenders simply don t run after atackers.....the game is as disapointed me. Is my favorite game but i realize that theres to much errors from the machine game.

Give the above a read and try it out. It took me about 7 months to finally realise that simple is better, and you don't have to tweak in match whatsover. I have two tactics that I switch between, it's that simple: An attacking (home) formation, and a cautious (away or keep the lead) formation. In my last three games I finished second with Everton, won the Championship with Palace, and won the Championship with Derby.

As for your opinion that the game is flawed, I tend to disagree. The game itself is not flawed since it's designed the way it's supposed to work. The manual is flawed, the feedback system is flawed, but the game itself is not. After 7 months of playing I have found my magical formula. As happy as I am, and as renewed as my spirit is for the game, it's a little frustrating that I got here through trial and error. A lot of mouse abuse and sulking could have been avoided if only I had the information and feedback I now have 'discovered'. A lot of people find this part of the game most enjoyable—the trial & error approach is a journey of challenge and happiness for a lot of people, although not for me.

Our level of expectation for this game now is so sky-high that we lose a sense of its brilliance. No game comes within 1,000 miles of FM's level of intricacy, detail, realism, and scope. I would encourage you all to stick with it and keep it simple. This is how I get my teams to perform to the highest potential. This way you are merely providing a solid base, not over-complicating things, and from this base you can rely on your players' ability to win you those trophies.

I urge you all to remember what this game was, to ponder over what it is, and to salivate over what it is to become. Every game thus far has been a stepping stone closer to perfection. But with each step forward, perfection will always be one step ahead. This is exactly what we want, otherwise there could be no improvement. The potential of this game is profound, so let us not dilute these forums with complaints, or distort the beauty of it with our infinte rants. Remember: the day that this game is perfect is the day that Football Manager dies.

the forums best ever post!!!?

But seriously guys think about it we had 9 shots on target against us in two games and ALL of them went in!!

Real Life? Roll Eyes

Arsenal scored 9 goals in 2 games against liverpool last season, i think they had a total of 11 or 12 shots on goal!!

not exactly typical of arsenal this season as we have had games with 24 shots on goal and only 1 or sometimes no goals.

This game is so flawed

It's no use having a squad full of star players without a decent way for them to play their football.
