Default Match Engine Is A Complete Joke

The match engine is a complete joke..even after the deployment of the patch..I have 4 strikers all with composure and finishing all 17 and higher, its what I always search for with a striker, I even have Bojan from Barcelona..my coaches rating for shooting is even the top rating..I get 20+ chances a game and sometimes don't even score..some games I even have 30+ chances, its ridiculous and beyond comprehension..no other version has been like this I am so disappointed.

Please try searching before starting threads like this, the match engine has been discussed many, many times, and there's a 13-pgae thread a little further down the foirst page.

Basically, what Ackter said. Also, consider posting more constructive criticisms in future.

Is it not clear what he's saying?

He would prefer the game if top-class strikers weren't constantly missing easy chances.

I could have been a lot more cutting with my "criticism" as a matter of fact, explain to me how more constructive I could have been ? create a new match engine ??

to be honest i think its disgraceful how something which is basically the whole point of the game can be so utterly unrealistic and for me just destroys the whole game, its cringeworthy watching your team dominate everyweek and hardly ever score, especially when that **** should have won easily crap pops up every single game, its almost as if some clown at sigames does it on purpose

Bojan scored 62 goals for me in about 40 matches in my previous season, and I doubt my Bojan is very different to yours, so clearly there is something else you could be doing because its is possible to score goals in matches

Perhaps you don't understand English? The OP was very clear in his post, but tbh, the quality of this forum is declining rapidly with the likes of the OP et al simply ranting without saying anything CONSTRUCTIVE. To have a look at a detailed critique of the ME, check any of the threads with more than 1 page - there's some excellent debate (pro and against) the ME in there.

Much more constructive than this tripe tbh.

Is the OP posting anything we havn't heard before?

SI have kindly provided a search function & as has been said a large match engine thread already exists on the first page. Also I do believe SI have admitted their mistake on the shots issue & will be fixing it, so can people not just wait until 8.02 is released on this one?

For once i have to agree, after many years of playing CM/FM the actual engine really is a joke. It appears to concoct goals, for example why would a goal keeper go left about 10 feet and tip a ball wide from a free kick on the half way line, the ball never went near the 6yard box was going in a straigh trajectory all the way from the half way line and would have been about 10 feet even not more wide, from the corner a penalty and a goal. This is one example of strange things that this engine appears to concoct. I could go on, but I for one don't want to rant too much...
