- little less nervous passes

What this means?

Great news. Cant wait to see how the new changes influence the game.

We are not sure yet. Maybe less direct short passes in midfield?

The pass at minute 38 is really amazing, it seems you player has been payed by the other team's president.

- fixed bug with setting wall, with current season defenders covering opponents modification, wall wasn't correctly set

I didn't understand this one..

The pass at minute 38 is really amazing, it seems you player has been payed by the other team's president.

yeah, that's been a joke between me and him and of course the indonesian sokker community about that player of mine getting payed.. well, he is near his retirement day. maybe he really need some extra money :p

really pissed me off when i saw that happened. and also that weird defensive covered situation.

Well ... the keepers are really lame ... which makes old scores possible like my game today. But seriously ... imo this is just another wrong adaptation to a problem. Freekicks going in from 50m straight? Every header in the penaltyarea going in again?

Hey Langue.... it might be just too soon to determine. Im looking at your game right now, and its true, pretty much every header is going in.

But let me ask you this.. you have a 20yrs old goalkeeper with a 49 performance level and he has "aceptable" form.. how good is he??? Because if he isnt that good then its pretty obvious he will barely be able to stop a good striker.

That wasn't my experience. I found it hard enough to score on (short distance) headers - and I fielded top knotch striker skills today. In general I fielded a quite strong team, and it still disappoints me to see the match today - even though I won with 6 goals. Too many strange actions/decisions/behaviour. I know it something about expectations, but I have been used to see my stars dish up with divine showoffs, and now they tend to imitiate the juniors performance yesterday.

I found quite some things I will list as bugs, and also in last sundays league match, but I'm a working man and time is short. I hope I will find the time to list all the points.

Even though he is only excellent and in such form, a striker with that value in excellent form shouldnt head that much goals in I think. Not to mention that freekick. Obviously, it might just be one of those 'shit happens' games (though I was weaker as well), but at least one other 1st division manager in belgium thinks the ME got even worse.

Its being adjusted... so we have to be patient. I wasnt at first because I didnt know what the Devs where up to. But now that I see that they are still tuning it... Im all about helping out to improve on its faults.

And one more thing Langue... Im hoping that this was due to your GK... how fast is he too?? Anyway... Im sure there will be some more tuning after seeing a high % of today´s matches.

Crameren, up until now, I have always been supportive with your reports of mistakes in the ME. I have agreed with what you posted.

However, I just saw your game and I really liked it man. I dont know why would you be upset about it.

I saw a game that was already dominated by you due to the fact that you made a tactic that clearly was ment to neutralize the opponent´s tactic (his wing above all) and because your team is much stronger.

The game had a lot of movement and it was fun to watch. The opponent´s goalkeeper made some good saves but as the match went on and the condition of players go down, you could see that it was just a matter of time before more goals came.

You got goals through breakaways, long passes, throw ins followed by a good header of a striker that was clearly uncovered near the goalie´s box, as well as almost a "gift" goal due to the lack of technique of a defender that bounce the ball back to your striker to shoot again.

You made some good changes... your striker that came in the second half... fresh legs and great level took very good advantage of the more tired legs of the already weaker defenders to break away and score a very good goal.

Your opponent had a very bad defensive coverage making it very easy for your team to move the ball forward and take their time to be able to make good passes to the strikers.

The opponent goalie made an awesome final save.

Overall, I think the team played really well... the opponent managed to not lose by a more ridiculous amount, and your team walked away with a great 6-0 victory.

I agree, it is pathetic, it should have been either or, not both. Greg should have either reduced the effect of goalkeepers or increased the shot strength, not both, as that is just stupid.

I agree on "paper". Specially since they said they had never changed the GKs performance, only that they brought down the shot power of the strikers. So the normal thing to do was only to increase the shot power a little.

But lets see... we all know that he doesnt want their to be BIG outscoring games. So if he did this, lets hope is for something and lets see what happens first before thinking it wont work.

So far I have seen two matches. Langhe´s and Crameren´s... Langue played with a very weak goalkeeper so its hard to judge... Crameren´s game was a very good game.

What we have to remember is that the engine must fit both games between top level vs top level teams and top level vs weak teams.

If you make excellent [skill] GKs play good even against top teams, then in top team vs top team games the divine GKs will be unbeatable, etc.
