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.

    Wow, played manager mode today 10 matches and ZERO progress cant even get a 3 straight win! 114-115-116-117 overall opponents are all the same have a field day beating my team 117, mostly dont even use substitutions, what the heck a St who is already infront of the goal will still go to a corner and perform a cross, no matter how you adjust the tactics it will still be the same old gameplay, that me winning is dependent what will be the order of the day, When we complain of scripting you will just threaten and ban us, what the heck???  114-115 scores 3 straight and there are only players without rank and training who performs really good than my gold rank, one touch and then goal, my players cant even perform well despite ranking them to full gold, this is just a carnival game, more of a gambling game, this game is nuts!

    Agree with you 100%. I have the exact same issues and results with Manager Mode (no progress possible beyond FC Champion +1 win), and I draw the exact same end conclusion—this app has more in common with a casino than an actual football match. As for the other business… Any company that threatens customers with bans for sharing their experience with the company’s product is well and truly lost. We come into these forums because we care about this game (or at least the sport it claims to represent!) and we earnestly want it to be better. If EA is so thin-skinned that it can’t take criticism and deal with it constructively then it doesn’t deserve to have ANY customers.

    Played 4 days now with intervals, all I can manage is 1 star, even low ranked and low trainings are beating me with 3-0 scores, a froward players sees the goal but he will still go to corners and cross it to a smaller player of mine, and what is this EAs fixation of shooting from half of the field

  • Played one today and lost 3-0. Two of their goals came from around 25 yards or so. On the third, the player took a shot just a yard or two from the center circle. He beat Yashin to his left. Since they were on a counter, none of my players were obscuring Yashin's view. The thing that really shows the broken mechanics of this game is, Yashin didn't attempt to move until the ball got to the 6 yard box. By then it was too late.

    Nothing comes good to this men, EA buffing ok players but legendary players of the game are statues when defending goals

  • dzrtr​ is spot on ... as far as i can tell the mode was a pre-cursor to judging interest in EA Sports FC Tactical, but they have left it in mobile for the time being.

    The AI is far from perfect, and throws up some weird things in Manager Mode, so i would just roll with the punches and not bother too much about it ... most people i know just set it and forget it for 10 matches per day as it gives some cheap and easy gems/event currency, so take them while you can
