The worst part of sending kids out for 3 years to gain citizenship is that they end up doing gently caress all for 3 years in some backwards country and it stunts their development

Those are the only 4 European teams with 3 years set in the editor, and all are accumulative rather than continuous.

I normally play a short-ish game with West Ham where I spend 5 or so seasons just missing out on silverware, and then play a long 20 year odd game in a lower league trying to drag some poo poo club from Bongobongia to the CL. What that ends up being is that after a few seasons, the club will be too strong for domestic competition, so I'll micromanage the big domestic rivalries, cup finals and European games, and holiday or just not pay attention to most of the other league games. Trying to pull off transfer coups for some completely unknown Moldovan 'wonderkid' with Shitanddust FC and then moulding him into a vaguely servicable player who gets fed up and leaves 3 years later to sit on the bench in Serie B is absolutely my jam.

Its terrible and i respect anyone who can stomach that kind of game. Playing in Gibraltar in FM14 I had a striker with a PA of 8 who spent something like 15 seasons as top Gibraltan scorer in the league and ended up retiring the season after we finally made it to the CL groups, with him starting against Bayern lmao

Brendan Rodgers posted:Hmm a few days ago there was a post on the Match Engine Issues forums about the offside thing but it's gone now. Dunno if that means they fixed it last night or they dismissed the claims. Guaranteed that means they've dismissed the claims and will finally do something about it in the third patch by making it so no one ever tries to break the offside trap

Adrianics posted:Very comforting that the one constant that's existed since I started playing way back with CM97/98 is back again: Being 2-0 up at half-time is absolutely the worst place to be. The opposition will come at you like a bat out of hell and will, will, get a goal back at some point between the 60th and 70th minute then equalise just before or just after the 80th. Feels completely inevitable and literally nothing I do stops it. Every single time. The most dangerous scoreline

Revenant Threshold posted:Just tried out a slightly changed version of this - I have the wingers staying outside, and a central DLP to pick out a slightly higher forward on the counter. You're right, the game seems entirely unable to deal with that many players all rushing in at once. I'm seeing the entire defensive line all marking one guy, even. I think it's the same thing that meant three forwards was the dominating tactic a few versions ago. Conversely, how do I loving stop my defense from all deciding to mark one player, while there's two players on the wings putting in a cross unchallenged and everyone else strolling into the box unmarked for a tap in? Every single loving game.

Adrianics posted:Basically my players ping the ball around the whole game, make a few chances but smack it off the post or goalkeeper then are undone when the defence shits itself over a cross. Once I'm a goal down I'm completely out of ideas and it's gotten to the point that I've ceased to get any enjoyment out of the game. THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS Every other year I've felt like I could tell where my tactics were going wrong and how to improve them and see the adjustments do things, this year it genuinely feels like the game just decides if you're going to win or not and what plays out on the screen has no bearing on it.

texasmed posted:I hate the feeling right before conceding a goal where I think to myself, "why are both of my center backs running out wide to cover their MR, oh it's because the game is gifting the opponent with a cheap goal." This this this this this Also, I've finished my first season in the Prem finishing 9th with West Ham, and there's some hilarious results going on. Klopp couldn't get Liverpool out of the relegation zone, and got sacked after Jan with Mancini dragging them to 16th, 7 points clear of relegation. Rogers got Newcastle relegated in the end, and now Janmaat is on his way to Real Madrid on the cheap. Jamie Vardy scored 29 in 38 league games, taking Leicester to 8th, and immediately got dropped by England for the Euros. Best of all Tottenham led the league for almost the entire season before doing a Tottenham and losing the last few games to hand the title to Arsenal

Another question. How the gently caress do I stop my team from conceding inside the first 5 minutes of matches, and even better, within the first minute? Because genuinely 20% of my goals conceded come that early on. e. not just at the start of matches, also at the start of the second half. loving hell it's annoying.

Yeah, checking the stats I do concede most of my goals in the first 15 min, and then score most of them late in the first half to equalise. It's ridiculous, maybe it'll sort itself out eventually? I'll try making a defensive tactic to start halves with though. Anyone got any good defensive set piece setups? I feel like I could be a lot stronger there too.
