EAs Fixation on shooting from half of field and crossing in Manager Mode
Almost 40+ games and all I can manage is 1 star in manager mode, I know from the start of the game in Manager Mode that Im gonna lose if my players are constantly Crossing the ball often, Shooting from the half, and Passing in Overhead manner. I still dont understand these developers and EAs fixation of players trying to shoot in the half of the field, chances are very low of scoring from that distance! A forward players may it be a lw or rw or midfield player sees the goal in front of him but the idiot that he is will still go into the corner and perform a cross, how can the playwr recieving the pass shoot it because Maradona and Pele(my players) are too short to head to ball! Buffon in the last four days are eating goals from the players with either low rank players or less training or both! Milenkovic the gk who plays decent in Napoli is being buff while Buffon the legendary goal keeper that he is is conceding too many goals, Not even Pele or Maradona can help my team when EA scripting is at its best! Opponents not even subbing their players but still performs at the high level while mine are so slow and cant even put the ball in the net because of sill passes. This is too much this is too tiring this is not football game at all but greed and nonsense gameplay from this game! Thisis too much, will be waiting for football manager when release and uninstall this game, such a waste of money, time and tactics!
It was a pointless mode to begin with. All it really does is hog your phone for 10 minutes with barely any interaction from the player. Your actual inputs, tactical changes and substitutions don't seem to have any bearing on the outcome anyway, not in my experience when I actually watched what the game was doing. That is consistent with the feedback I gave when this mode first came in.
The only benefit in recent months was that it gave me fodder, ranks and gems. But if it were deleted overnight to simplify the game so EA could fix other issues faster, we would all benefit from it.
