Proof that the shot on goal/superkeeper issue needs sorting
Guys,
Please see screen prints, matches 1, 2 and 3 are consecutive games and these are only a handful of the games I had problems in. My strikers are Daryl Murphy, Charles Andre Dudin, Craig Davies and John Cunliffe.
Comments are welcome about what you think, I know some of you will agree and some will disagree.
As has been pointed out elsewhere, what we seem to see a lot of in FM08 isn't so much a case of "superkeepers" - where they make seemingly miraculous saves no matter how good the shots - but rather a case of poor shooting, with many shots going right to the keeper. In playing the game so far, I have seen very few games in which the rating for the opposing keeper was 9 or 10 - true superkeeper numbers.
I don't think anyone would deny that the problem needs to be addressed, but then I don't know what is going on tactically in your game, either.

God, I'm so pleased people on here aren't engaged in any kind of crucial medical research or anything.
The definition of "proof" used seems to be a million miles away from mine.

If you don't really tinker with individual players, then they must (By law of elimination) also be set to "Attacking" and "Direct" which means they're bound to snap at shots, rather than taking time to set themselves to shot properly.
On target = straight at the keeper = easy to save = presumed: Superkeeper.

Don't be blaming his tactics for the problem.If he can get that much shots on target with so few goals there is a MAJOR problem

Thanks for the comments guys, Dave C, your constructive comments inspire us all, and I'm not one to quash any kind of debate... but jog on, you know what I'm trying to get at, there's no need for useless put downs!
Why would those tactics automatically make a striker take snap shots, If the ball drops to someone in the area and he hits it towards goal with any sort of aggression, law of averages suggest that he will score if the shot is on target? but in this case he doesn't and nor do the other 3 strikers in my team, all way too good for league 1 might I add, don't you think that at least one of my 4 strikers would score at least 2 goals in 40odd shots?
