Man, thats alot of fixes. I know some people have been complaining about the dodgy match engine, hopefully this will sort it out.

The match engine was not as bad as some say, but this update should fix the remaining bugs as far as I can tell from the change list.

What about the ridiculous amount of time wasted waiting for the ball to be returned from the crowd etc. How could such a serious bug be overlooked!
Johnny Karp

I haven’t noticed that to be honest.

What!
You have not noticed how long it takes for the ball to be returned when it goes out of play? And then when the ball is returned, some player usually has to go and fetch it (corners are the worst) whilst the players trudge slowly to their next positions adding more waiting time. Basically, When the ball is dead (out of play or whatever) there should be a fade-out and then a fade-in with the players in their new positions ready to go… (the final whistle sound is also a joke.) Apart from these and some other small niggles the match beats FIFA manager hands down in the tactics department (in likeness to a real football match) but trails somewhat in the 3D graphics area.

I must be doing something wrong…
With liverpool, playing with your 433 Barcelona tactic, just barely made it to avoid relegation. On 2nd season, same tactic, 2 losses and 1 draw. Went on holidays until december 31, and selected the keep current tactic option. Came back, Liverpool was 2nd placed. Beated Man Utd 4-1, Arsenal 3-1, City 4-0, Everton and Sunderland 5-0…
What ir going wrong? Is it me, the game engine… both?
Help!

Honestly, I have no idea. But since the team got better results while you were on holiday, I guess it was you (team selection maybe?).

I had some issues with the last update, now things seem to work again. I’m not sure it has improved the game overall though, I mean, the problem with a huge patch is that trying to address something it often unbalance something else.
AI improved ability to defend in the final third is a good add cause makes the game more challenging, but probably there are few shots compared to real life stats while tackling seems a bit overpowered now, what are your early impressions about the patch?
Johnny Karp

I didn’t have much time to play after installing the patch, just a couple of games.
