Excited to try this but just want to check something. The instructions say there will be a windows and Mac folder in the zip but I just have one folder named simatch. Should I be seeing 2? For context I’m using Mac so want to make sure I have the correct one. 

 

inside the simatch there is a maxos folder and another simatch folder in whcih you will see other folders like events, expected_goals etc… this one is the folder you want to put in the directory.

Ive tried the new version (1.5 now, I missed 1.4) for around a season. 

 

I can tell you definitely made changes to what I brought up - wide players now follow their instructions much better. Defenders look much better at defending, obviously they dont always get it right but it looks far better now.

 

I dont know what other changes you made but I am seeing a lot more diverse in match events and variety of goals. I see some interesting own goals, counters, mistakes leading to goals and even saw a penalty rebound get scored which I dont think ive ever seen in FM24. Occasionally the goalkeeping is a little rough but as it never happens to me I am inclined to believe that its more to do with how poor the oppositions GKs.  Corners are much better now as well, far more goal mouth scrambles rather than just in swinging header goals.

 

So - great job!

 

What I would say is that I dont really think the number of shots and goals has come down too much from the vanilla match engine. I dont think this is an issue with the mod more an overall issue with FM24. When you compare the league you play in (which is simming in full detail) vs any other league (which uses a stripped down match engine) the goals scored in other leagues is far lower. You can see this when comparing leagues with regional splits (eg English national league north/south or the step below that) when you full sim one and not the other. 

 

Sorry - got off topic there. Right now this mod is in a really good state I feel. 

 

Thank you very much. TrueSim will be constantly updated. The next update will take place later May prolly. I am gathering feedback right now. Thanks for yours. Appreciate it. For the thing you are mentioning about the fully detailed leagues yes you are right, but we can do nothing about it sadly.

Hello! I delete the simatch.fmf file, after i paste the simmatch folder in data. But there is no simatch.fmf in the zip, so after that when i run the game i have two errors with match critical log error. What can i do? LATER EDIT FOR WHO DOESN`T WORK: put the whole simatch folder in /data, not just files from that folder.

 

at the place of simatch.fmf goes the simatch folder and nothing else. there shouldn't be an error. when you click the 1st simatch folder, inside there is another one simatch folder? if yes then, it shouldn't. you must place the simatch folder in which exists the rest of the folders (events, expected_goals, etcetera…). can you check if that is the problem?

Wanted to provide some feedback. 

 

I like some of what this match engine does such as less perfect passing and lower number of shots, so a more accurate goals per game. However there are some really glaring issues.

 

Wingers no longer operate as you would expect. Even on attack wingers will never cross from the byline and instead prefer to pass back or cut inside, even on their weaker foot. Crossing instructions are ignored and most crosses are high into the box even if you instruct for low crosses. This is a problem as headers are much weaker in this match engine. 

 

Defenders are horrendous at dealing with counter attacks. They sort of run after the man for a bit and then drop off suddenly. They are much better at defending against possession based attacks - but all this means is that the team with low possession playing on the counter gets chance after chance. 

Thanks for the feedback i am aware of that. I focused more on delivered final stats to mirror real life more than i should. Please try TrueSim 1.4, it is updated to fix those things you are mentioning. I will wait for feedback again. I am sure you will enjoy it a lot since it has greatly improved match movement and motion flow.

Thanks for the feedback. I understand that people doesn't want to sacrifice the flow such much, so i changed my prespective about it and changed the flow of the game to favour attacking moves. 1.4 is up for testing, i think you will be happier now with the movement flow in game. Feedback appreciated.
