Even worse this ***** since patch, started a new one with the gunners last night. lots of injurys in pre season, however won first game and then beat man utd away 3-0. so thought maybe just maybe this game was fixed, untill this morning when i reloaded and guess what, injurys constantly, dominating possesion by at least 5% every game and opposition always having less than 5 shots on target, me having at least double but still f***ing losing, ok at home but not away. load of *****.

have you tried tweaking your tactics away from home cos teams are gonna come at you more when they are at home.

Try being a bit more defensive and hitting them on the counter attack

My observations: I have to be quick as I'm on a island paradise now ;-)

1. Defensive lines are being affected by mentalities more than ever before. I still play with 10 for DL for all formations, but now I can afford to get them to position higher up on a pitch with mentallities. So the way to go forward is to find the perfect balance between mentalities and closing down. If the mentalites are too high then it will put defending players out of positon when tracking back.

2. I still use barrowed fullbacks for the reasons Bux mentioned. My fullbacks are on really high mentalities.

3. I've never had a major problem with injuries until I discovered the linkage between training intensity and tempo. If you have high training intensities and your tempo is high, you will lose players.

4. The AI seems to lose a lot of players through red cards. In a match against Chelsea, it had 3 players sent off against me. I don't seem to suffer from rash yellows or reds. The occasional red cards still happen though, but nothing I can't manage

yeah do apologise for swearing, im ok now after the london derby,what my problem is mainly is the computers super goalkeeper problem. im dominating everything home and away, every stat possible, put when im away just cant seem to score and they do everytime they got one on target. the final straw was when reading beat me 2-0, possesion 40 -60 to me, shots 4-18 for me and shots on target 2-11 to me. i dont mind this now and then but not every away game surely. it was ok untill i reloaded it. oh well will try again later

ad 1) Interesting!
ad 2) I see. My fullbacks are not on high mentality (10) and barrows only work vs. very attacking wingers.
ad 3) Strange. Never had injury problems. Play all sorts of styles and train one notch below very heavy.
ad 4) I experienced the same. Seems the AI is more inclined to tackle hard. Pre-patch 9/10 I won more tackles. These days - especially vs. strong opponents - I have to tackle hard to compete.

14 first team player out with injuries!
Patch 7.0.2 now . Better today than tomorrow

retired_rebebeccag · 12-02-2006, 06:23 PM

OK, so my season just came completely off the rails.

After being top of the Prem for 18 of the first 19 weeks, and being in 2nd place a point behind Man Utd when patching, my tactic just collapsed.

No wins in the last 9 games, slumping down to 6th place.

Still delighted, would have been happy with 16th, but it's going to be a long season next year unless I can suss out the match engine all over again.

I s starting with Arsenal too!
Its Arsenal bug

Half of them came in matches and the rest in training.
I use Cleons training regimes and suspected the degre of strengttraining for the mess, but before (in 7.0.0) I used Matts training regimes
and there isn't much difference.Short passing and slow tempo shouldn't do it.
Perhaps i'm just unlucky?
But it seems to be increasing in 7.0.1

Patch Observations

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