I found the early exaggerated. Every ball my players were useless.

Against stronger teams, if early is common, many people will screw.

put it this way:

divine players: premier league style
oustanding-brilliant: non-league
good-excellent: pub team

My players all have good or better primaries, with some oustandings and incredibles in there.

even in a pub team wingers will not keep knocking the ball out of play. You need to be blindfolded, malcoordinated and mentally retarded to keep doing that.

even in a pub team defenders will not roll the ball in front of them with an opposition player near them

even in a pub team players will not pass backwards. In fact, pub players are more likely to keep hitting it forward.

Weeeell, new ME is great! We are all spoiled a little bit and we expect too much..:)
in future, I expect even better ME..

Well done greg an company!

agree with you..

imo:
- the back pass is irritating, it would cost you the game
- from now on the players with rating under 45 will dribble the ball badly, shot the ball beyond the goal; which before the changes they did it much successfully
- and the changes only good for a big team (a team with match rating around 55), a new user or a developed team will see their players do this mistake dribble and bad finishing regularly while they don't have enough resources to buy a star players yet. and this maybe will reduce the chances of an upset result between a smaller team against bigger team

my conclusion:
the changes are good..thank you devs, but smooth it a little bit since the new user will be more struggle if the game run this way. to have a decent match game to watch, they need to buy a good player which is out of their resources. and please keep the old good things too.. (that long range shot was good but hardly seen it again nowdays).

yes but that means that sokker will lose all the new users!!!

who will have the nerves to wait 3-4 seasons untill he see a proper game from his team??

i expected to be more real not like that!!!over 45 rating???

i see no common sense in some games if you agree with me!!

players keep passing back even if they are alone with the keeper...

a player with very good to formidable passing passes perfectly to the opponents but only 1 in 7 passes to the team mate...!!!

My sucky subs "played well", used the "push ball forward" with criteria and such, they average was just 31, granted on midfield I had the best averages but my number 10, on playmaker spot, it's really a defender with poor playmaking and vg passing who got there because of lack of people xD Only bad thing I noticed was my sub striker missing 2 penalties but scoring a 35m screamer, wth :P

Maybe the difference in teams prompted the engine to make my team look better? :X Anyways, sunday will be the real deal, for now, I just love that the more technique, the closest the ball bounds while failing to control it :) My low tech players were same as always on that department, but when people who DOES HAVE technique failed to control the ball, the ball just bounced short. At last some love for technique :)

the changes are good..

+1

but smooth it a little bit since the new user will be more struggle if the game run this way. to have a decent match game to watch, they need to buy a good player which is out of their resources.

This is not really true. New managers can buy reasonable players for not that much money, train a few weeks stamina and 1 season pace and players will perform better and better each week. It all has to do with buying the right young players at the beginning :)

Well, as everyone has said a billion times, there are still changes to be made, and this is a test match engine.

If your striker only scored one goal from 17 shots, thats just bad luck. It happens to the best of us.

But with my midfield, which according to you, have pub team/non league skills, I've prepared a little.

I'm not playing wingers all the way at the side. I'm keeping players closer to encourage that amazing knock-on passing. And in my match yesterday, everything went amazingly.

Well, I feel with this match engine the defenders are weaker. Need some correction in the future. They don't kick the ball in time.

Well, the new ME is a good idea, but need correction.

Btw is it a bug or a feature that no offside is given when a pass to a player offside is deflected by a slide tackle (and the player offside still reaches the ball) ?

must be a bug. but maybe it was just an animation error

Possible, but not very likely. Perhaps you want to have a look (minute 23/24 of Switzerland match). Imho the gap between striker and last defender is too big for a presentional error. And the striker is first on the ball too, though the GK collects it just afterwoods.

Wow, 14 from 20, thats maybe the best ever scoring ratio i have ever seen here... the new match engine likes you...
;-)

p.s
I tend to feel that if strikers are using this "boost" speed thing when they get the ball and run for one on one situations they score now on higher ratio...
Or its just random again...

regarding new launch and run and offsides, can some people check SVK-CZE match?

in 67th min slovak keeper kicks the the ball in to field. It is claimed by czech side and midifelder who is on the line with Slovak defense puts the ball up towards atacker who is 5 meters in offside, but fore some reason he takes the ball withouth problems.

I know animation arent always correct, but it is probably more than animation problem. To me, it seems that czech midfielder puts ball foward using the new launch and run and for some reason ME doesnt recognize this as a pass and therefore their att (who would be normally called offside) can take the ball without referee (ME) notice.

Or any other explanation? I dont follow forum much, so maybe I just missed something?

Definitely a bug!

@Sharoni
Our strikers are really unpredictable this season. Today they had a superb day ;-) Though all the chances were either 1on1 or headers in the area I believe.

Pff, with this engine all you need to do is place your strikers correctly and you´ve won :(
