No, not this shite again.

I'm just after closing a thread t'other day basically named the exact same and the response is going to be the same because 1) the new game isn't easy unless you're either a) cheating (which I'm not accusing you off because I've no proof) or b) you have found a possible flaw in the match engine and your tactic is exploiting it or c very, very lucky.

I'm going to keep this thread open though (for the time being at least) to avoid constant threads stating how 'FM15 is too easy'.

Hi James Brady, yes this years game is very easy, i was destroying team 11-0 etc and i also went about 60 games un defeated, ive already tweeted Miles about this and we are in constant communication about the situation,hopefully it will be harder when full game is out, ive stopped playing it just now as it was boring me i am now in process of making like tweaks to the skin etc for people to use

I've found it enjoyable. Started with Roma as I wanted a good team who still had a bit of a challenge as I don't want to start my main career which is Dnipro until the full game is out.

3 seasons in and enjoyed it, not been able to topple Juve who are (just like real life) ridiculously consistent. Started to lose interest in the save now just as Totti is retiring. Not a co-incidence that, loved playing with Totti.

Im actually finding it quite hard. My full backs always have bad games and the keepers make loads of errors

Yeah a lot of the goals are because of the keepers. A shot straight at them and its like they're invisible. The match engine seems a bit weird (cant put my finger on it) but it doesn't seem natural.

The tactics page is shocking and when picking roles I like to be able to see what stats affect what role (like last years tactics screen). The sidebar though I like and have got used to.

I had a big problem holding on to leads/closing games out. Always conceded late goals and sometimes even from 2 goals up I'd somehow throw it away. Maybe its my tactics. I'm awful at chasing games aswell, tend to throw too many attackers/att mids on and therefore never get the ball to them as the other side overload my defenders.

This.

I usually find Football Manager easy enough, this years is a welcome change.

I'm finding it tough, but not tough in a way that I think my tactics aren't working.

This will be my 10th FM, so I've seen it from the start (as i'm sure there are plenty of others that have too) and obviously the BETA versions are far from the finished articles.

I always find that the main problem is with the match engine, as it's the one that performs the hardest calculations.
This year is no different, and as someone mentions in a post above, it has an 'unnatural' feel to it, and thats the best way to describe it I suppose.

BUT hopefully (fingers crossed) come 7/11/14, the match engine will be finally up to spec.

My players don't follow my instruction. I set the team to short passes and went and did the same for every single player, yet they tend to pass long most of the time and losing the ball. This in addition to silly mistakes from all the players. Did anybody else face this?

Yeah this is my point.
But judging from other posts, people generally seem to be having relative success with the game.

I've tried several teams, all with differing quality levels, in different countries and still the players perform silly errors, ignore instructions etc.
Also loads of own goals, loads of sending offs, loads of injuries.

But hey, this is what the whole point of releasing a BETA is for, we'd be much more annoyed if the game was released and it was like this.
I remember FM12 I think, and that had shit loads of bugs and issues during the BETA, but it was fantastic after the first patch.
