Subject: Match Engine Changes

I like the changes so far from my friendly game, should be even better with my A squad.

What do you all think?

I cant see the difference - it is all different players in my Wednesday games.

I knew right away something was different ... didn't like what I saw yesterday.

On 4 different occasions I had a player run all the way to the end line, then run along the end line before trying an impossible shot. All these players had MID orders. This was a problem that had been fixed previously. Not sure why it reappeared.

I'm not sure about 1 on 1's being even more difficult to score. My strikers had a hell of a time this season, both against the monster keepers of NTs, and against the formidable-outstanding guys in the CPL. Making short stuff harder and long stuff easier just makes things more random IMO.

The PM change should be good.

They are small changes, a likely won't have much impact. But it bugs me that they are dropped on us at the end of week 14. This game is about long term planning. I bought 2 mids in the past month (one this week) I probably wouldn't have if I'd known about these changes. :S

I noticed a lot of unnecessary back passes, my opponent scored an own goal from the center field that way in the friendly yesterday,

I complained about the weird wing play, and was told it was indeed a bug. Devs hope to have it fixed before the NT matches, and will definitely have it fixed before the friendlies next week.

what weird wing play?

You could have read my post above instead of making me type it out again. :D

In a number of matches there was a "re-emergence" of an old problem where wingers ran all the way down to the end line, then along the end line, before eventually doing something silly like shooting from an impossible angle.

This has been fixed once before, and it sounds like it will be fixed again. :)

oops. sorry for making you type it again :/

i just went to the last post...

i had this happen in my game too...i didnt think it was a bug though...

I was JK. No problem. :)

In my match most of these plays ended up in shots from a position flush with the end-line, which is a foolish play with no chance of success. Not a natural football occurrence.

my left winger was actually shooting pretty good since he has very good striker ;) (also a starting striker in my team :P)
