Your FM20 saves

Yes! Messing around with Everton in the Beta and have had players shooting at goal from the bye-line, even though they are level with the post rather than pass to an open player in the box waiting for a tap in. I know players can be a bit greedy but seems ridiculous!

Anyone else suffering crash dumps throughout the BETA? I've had 3 today alone, more than I probably had on FM19. It's bloody annoying!

I'm scheduled to face Schalke and this'll be the third time I have to play them as the previous two times I've suffered crash dumps - first time I won 4-1 and I was able to play one and a half more games before a dump occurred, the second time I was 4-1 up and suffered one during the game. It's irritating.

Along with the crossing issue, anyone else having the problem of players repeatedly trying 60 yard passes across the pitch back and forth until the ball is lost? I'm asking you to play it Much Shorter that doesn't mean it takes a much shorter time to get there ya spanner.

I've not had any but you should report that to SI.

Oh

Oops? 4th place isn't that bad think ol' Tom has been a bit harsh there

That's unfortunate! Thankfully I've not had any of those issues... yet.

Of course now I've had one...

Finally found the time to buy, download and now play the Beta.

Took me half an hour to decide just now who to be though. Ended up with Birmingham. I believe their rancid.

Lets do this!

Okay don't cancel friendlies I guess.. suppose we're not playing on those days everyone gets a holiday because I'm such a nice manager, let's act like it's not a cock up.

Yeah, also why can't I arrange my FT a friendly (either home or away) for the same day when my 2nd team or youth team plays..?
At first I thought they had clowned around big time before I took over and arranged just a bunch of FT friendlies against my own 2nd team and youth team for the entire pre-season. (Because why else would their games show in my FT schedule list?)

Well that's a good start in winning the fans over. Forgot who I was managing, signed a Southampton player and didn't click until the press conference mentioned it, can't wait for both me and Stuart Armstrong to be found dead in a ditch.

I had a save with the Montreal Impact. I really enjoyed how well FM20 is running. But in the MLS there is a lot of bugs at the moment, so I am waiting for a patch to fix the leagues bugs before I continue.

I've not tried a save in the MLS before but do you find it's kinda boring without the threat of relegation? Seems like you can get a league title and whatever cup North America has and that's about it

Seriously considering starting my proper save nw just no idea who to be!

Tempted too but I know as soon as I do I'll start encountering bugs! Have to hold out for full release. Interested to see how challenges are going to be run this year here too.

Meanwhile in my Beta save as Everton, just got to mid December and Spurs have sacked Pochettino and sit in tenth place. Wonder if it will happen irl!

Firstly, we would like to thank everyone for their feedback on our Beta version of the match engine, especially those who uploaded PKM's for us to review. The reason we ask for PKMs is that every decision a player makes is based on a incredible number of variables, meaning that each case is unique in their own way. This means that specific examples are incredibly useful for the development team. When testing improvements, we can replay certain decisions and events in our updated Match Engines and see if it is still happening.

Understandably this is an extremely busy time for us so we've been unable to reply to each thread individually. But we want to assure everyone each individual thread gets read, even if they don’t get a specific reply. It’s a very important part of our development process to look at your feedback and examples when looking at how we can move forward.

The beta feedback this year has been very helpful and productive, and the main concerns raised fortunately matched up with what we believed to be the main issues internally and we have been working hard on some good improvements. It’s good to know that we were on the same page as you guys and we strongly believe that the release version of the ME is going to be the best we’ve ever released.

To give you guys an idea of the kind of work that has been going on – we have been working around the clock analysing the main issues we have and working out how we can make them better. We have had over 10 different internal MEs since the beta has gone out that all have required intensive testing and analysis. This is a substantial amount of work and is testament to how passionate and hard working the development team are. Working on the ME is incredibly difficult, there’s so many variables and decisions being made that even a small change to tweak e.g. long shots balance can have drastic effects elsewhere in the game. This means that it can be a very difficult balancing act to get things just right, but we are convinced that there’s a much better balance overall in the release ME that we think will be noticeable and enjoyable.

This doesn’t just apply to the match AI either, there are also many improvements to the graphics, art and animation that we are excited for you guys to see.

Thank you all for your feedback!

We all hope you continue to enjoy your saves and love playing FM2020

Match Team
