Les Cabbage Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Players passing the ball in the final third instead of trying to shoot even if it’s 4 attackers vs 1 goalkeeper, I mean, it’s about time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reinstalled FM20. I've gone from absolutely pissing the game with whatever team I manager to just being absolutely piss. Tactics that worked fantastically well previously just don't now and that's on a fresh install of the game and starting new seasons from scratch. Not sure if there has been a recent patch that's changed the match engine but it seems to be worse now than it was a couple of months ago. Exact thing is happening to me. Thought I was going mental. Had to reset my laptop about 5 or 6 weeks ago and re-install things. I didn't notice it instantly, but I've really become aware in the last week or 2 that it's happening and it's really annoying me. I only got FM20 back in April after playing 19 for a few months and tactically, I noticed big differences in the 2. It took me a good few weeks to actually start enjoying FM20 because I really couldn't settle on a tactic. Then I finally found my magic formula, and had some great fun but like you, I'm now getting mightily pissed off at my sudden change of fortunes. Even jumped on my Ajax save last night for a quick couple of games, scraped a 1-0 win at home to Excelsior and got gubbed 3-0 at Groningen on the final day. I'd only lost once all season prior to that. Really losing motivation to continue playing 20 now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor1874 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Really hoping the match engine is improved significantly. Goalkeepers bending down to pick up shots and it going through their legs, strikers missing every chance they get etc. FM20 has been an absolute nightmare. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does seem a bit more central play, but one of the counter attack goals they scored had a striker peel off a CB who tracked his run almost exactly, including a wee move to the side, whereas in reality you'd expect your CB to just keep going straight to try and cut out the cross, as they'll know they've lost their man. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it just didnt look THAT different given all the hype over it. I only watched snippets, though. No way I could sit through 2 hours of Miles Jacobson, the guy really is an arse. I think the red flag for me was when he was explaining why they condition %s have been replaced by ratings - "some players wouldnt start someone if they were under 97% fitness". Yeah, Miles, those people are called fuckin idiots and arent really a basis around which to build a game Im calling it now, within 5 years all the numbers will have gone to be replaced by smiley faces and thumbs up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched one game last night, then just snippets on my lunch today. I don't see a huge difference tbh, but there was definitely more interplay between attackers in/around the box. But also clearly issues with defenders marking. Guess one of those where you just wait and see. The rest of the "improvements" aren't tbf, so I'm hoping that the ME, and AI squad building is improved over a long term save, rest I couldn't care less about really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
