Is it just me, or does high creative freedom for a central midefielder equal uneccesarily stupid shots from distance. It is so frustating, even when i set long shots 2 rarely they can have about 10 shots in a match with only about 2 on target, equalling a very poor game with a rating of about 5 or 6. Is this a bug??
felon, I don't have the link, but in one of the "shots to goals ratio" threads, Paul C said he would look into tuning down the impact of "Creative Freedom" on the decision to take a long shot. I assumed he meant "for 8.0.2", if there is such a patch.
Let's assume for one moment that this is a game...
...ok with that? Then we'll begin :thup:
You are never going to see the exact nuances or abilities of a real player, emulated perfectly in FM08, or any of it's predecessors, or in fact ANY computer game.
The match engine is what it is. Call it flawed, quote shots to goals bug, whatever.
Whilst tinkering with settings, tactics etc... I make the educated assumption that this is in fact, a computer game, therefore I approach the way things work in the game accordingly, making the best assumptions on how my settings will counter those of the AI controlled teams.
With this in mind, you will find plenty of posts by gamers who have taken this on board and are working with tactical and player settings, that get the best out of their "little computer people".
Have a look through the forums. There's plenty of helpful threads. Tactics or settings suggested by other games don't neccessarily work for everyone. This is why there's alot of tactical threads written.
The game is more complex these days, granted, but I think that too many people are trying to assume that because it is the best in it's genre, that it's GOT to be flawless.
Show me a flawless football team IRL and ou'll see the reverse of my argument.
