Legaldinho,

I´ve only played the shipping version as I dont have an internet connection on the computer I´m playing on, a bit of a bummer that aswell.

So I´m also refering to the shipping version, suppose i will have to download the patch on someone elses computer and then burn it out on a cd when the final version comes out.

I score less goals now than i did before i applied the patch. change the goal to andy grays gob and they still wouldn't score

It is a depressing state of affairs, this, and one that fm is, in modern days, becoming synonimous with. I'm beginning to think that this is a core play mechanic that cannot be unravelled. I've sold Huntelaar, my fourth striker, and purchased robinho, who will join in January. I will then have a strikeforce of Robinho, Pandev, Gilardino, and Inzaghi. All of them have 18+ finishing (though Gilardino will come down to 17 if he slacks in training). Huntelaar was a 17. Yet these guys will miss three gold opportunity for each goal they score. That simply doesn't make sense. Tempo on low and a possession game is being played, too- so it's not that my tactic encourages rushing things.

Ive got same problem my strike force is aguero , Vela , vangor love and i still draw nearly every game 1-1

okay, so last night I tried the milan 4-1-2-1-2 formation as I always play it at home- Pirlo playmaking, hard tacklers in midfield chasing the ball, and Kaka running in between strikers who drag to the byline. I usually get between 20 and 25 shots at home, between 10 and 15 on target.

I turned down long shots completely for everyone, and made my "team" outlook as normal, rather than attacking.

The opposition, which was weak-ish (Torino) only got one shot, but I went down to about 13 shots, 6 or 7 on target, and scored through Pandev on 85 minutes.

The search for sanity goes on.

I usually dont complain about the game and am in fact still doing really well but its really p!ssing me off now.

Everygame i'm getting 20 or more shots and yet my strikers are missing bucket loads of easy chances(Though i keep scoring 40 yard free kicks with ease) and yet i restrict the other side to very few shots and they seem to score with more or less everyone.

And dont even mention the stupid come backs. Out of nowhere i think i'm cruising , 2 or 3 goals ahead and out of nowhere i'm pegged back in minutes.

All this seems to be happening way too often for me to think its a flaw with me and not with the match engine.
