Loving the patch but I am coming towards the end of September and across all 5 English divisions I have active there has not been one 0-0. Surely something is up here??

On top of that there's only a handful of 1-0's. Now this cannot be down to tactics as it's for all teams.

Have SI acknowledged there are far too many goals being converted? Strikers also seem too hot on this version.

Well, everyone was moaning about there being to litte goals scored. Si fixed it and now people are moaning that strikers are scoring (not directed at you).

people weren't complaining about too few goals being scored, they were complaining about strikers not being able to finish simple one on one chances against the keeper

the ideal solution would have been to increase the proportion of one on ones that result in a goal, while significantly improving defensive ai and reducing the ease with which teams can play through balls, thus lowering the number of one on ones that took place in the first place

Yeah, people must want a balance between the two extremes. Crazy that. </BLOCKQUOTE>

Not having a go, but what would be a balance between the two extremes? People kept going on about too few goals now too many goals, too few headed goals and now too many. What on earth would be a middle ground in this and how would SI go about fixing it so as everyone will be happy.

To be honest I think this is an issue that has been blown out of all proportion and while I accept that there will be sensible people who are disappointed with the ME I would still suggest that a majority of the people who post here condemning it and moaning and FIFA fans who want to see their side go on a 200 game uneaten run scoring 500 goals in the process.

SI only really did a quick fix, just made the strikers score easier and made corners produce more gaols, GK are still idiots as are defenders

Dav1d

I agree. But people weren't moaning about the amount of chances created. Si did what the moaners wanted. Allowed strikers to finish far more one on ones. The amount of chances created was ALWAYS the problem.

deantibbetts

The reason for the "quick fix" was the deluge of rants from people who had drawn a game agaisnt Derby and so classed this as a bug. Every day another dozen posts about where the patch is appeared and the FM punter has noone to blame but the ranters for it possibly being rushed job.

And IMO has been a problem for a number of years now.

retired_dellydoolittle

that's true.

also you have take into account player atributes. I believe that most players are over rated at the minute. (I claim this for every FM serie, not for 802). I had many on FM games where it was normal that strkers score over 30 goals in the league only, or having 80 goals in all matches or rooney scoring goal per match in FM08.

IRE it's unbelieveble how cristiano scores so many. when luca toni scored more then 30 goals in serie a, it was 1st time after 50, or 60 years (or something), that somebody scored more then 30 in serie a....

those 16+ atributes should be very rare. if someone has two or 3 or 4 stats +16 he should be a world class player IMO. 20's should be reserved for legends and top of the cream. now we just have too many players with too many +16 stats. IMHO

It's just the lack of tight games and too be fair I've noticed this ever since the 2-D view came about (CM4).

I would love to see a team like Chelsea chrurning out 1-0's but it just doesn't seem to be possible in FM.

PS - Re the corner issue, I've not socred one from a corner or had one scored against me and I'm now in October.
