I AM SO FUCKING MAD
So it's my first season playing with Leverkusen (playing FMC mind you) - first game I've had going since I had and FMC game on 13 with Schalke, all good. I find FMC more appealing but that is NOT WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.
Backstory - So season was going okay, I was lurking 3rd to 6th, no problem, had some issues. Had a game vs Bayern in mid november, after trying to go conservative I find nothing working so I try something new, I go and press, try to hassle and play aggressive. It works well and I get the draw and after I changed Bayern don't stand a chance. So I decide to start each game with this, much pressure and try to get a lead going and then calm down, and boy does it work, I go on something like a 8 game winning streak in the league. Before this mind you I had qualified from my CL group of Real Madrid and PSG, left PSG in the dust.
Well enough about that, come 2nd and go for the CL draw whilst I'm tearing up the Bundesliga. I get R. Socidad. !! Great news, a team I have a real chance against, lets go lads.
The form keeps going, during the christmas break I'm 2nd in the league 1 point from Bayern, after the break I even do well, I have 3 games in the league before R. Socidad, I win all of them and take the 1st leg vs them at home a solid 2-0. No away goals and a good display, I got thiiiiiis.
3 league games inbetween the CL games. I play 3 mid-table teams. start with a draw. NBD - I'm still good in the league and I had lots of CCC's. next game - another draw. 3rd game I loose 3-2 after conceding 2 corner kicks goals but I pushed Hannover to the brink, should actually have gotten the equalizer. My teams looking alright just not getting the luck I feel we deserve.
Comes the 2nd leg - we travel to Spain and I think, just go in with what's been working, pressure them - try to get the away goal and we are golden. Griezman scores 5th minute, okay lets chill a little, we've had 25% possession the first 20 minutes. We get to the 2nd half at 2-1 us on agg.
Okay lads, that first half was bad, not a single shot and 35% possession, but we can hang on. WELL I GUESS NOT.
SECOND HALF I CONCEDE NOT ONLY 1, 2 OR EVEN 3 GOALS - NOOOOO THEY SCORE 4 GOALS - OR WELL I SCORED 2 OWN GOALS OF COURSE. THEY RUN ME RAGGED, MY TEAM PLAYS THEIR ABSOLUTE WORST GAME OF THE SEASON AND WE GET KNOCKED OUT. FAN FUCKING TASTIC.
AND THE WORST PART? I CAN'T EVEN POUR MY RAGED HEART INTO THEM BY ANY MEANS IN FMC - THEY PRICE I PAY TO PLAY A STREAMLINED VERSION.
I AM MAD
- feel free to blow off steam in this thread, I know what this game can do to you.
#131934 Network game problems.

I have my firewall disabled and I guess he doesn't have to worry about it with Apple.
We also both forwarded ports and etc. - I just think the main problem with FM over the internet is that one person is always hosting and there are just so many things that can cause issues it seems like. I'd love for SI to setup a dedicated server of some sort where you can choose how you want the game set up and just have both parties connect to a neutral server, sort of like you do with most games. But I get that would of course have to mean a somewhat revolutionized system but we wouldn't have to worry about things like packet loss or anything seeing it's not exactly a reflex based game like FPS for example.
I just really feel that the best way to play FM is with mates or other people, playing just against the AI gets boring after sometime, which is why I've played FM less and less in the last few versions but always tried to do network games and when we have we play them a whole lot.

Thanks for the advice though, posted a thread on SI forums 4 days ago without any answers.
#131886 Network game problems.

I was wondering if any of you have managed to play a good network game on FM14 ?
The problem me and my mate have been facing is just a generally to slow and buggy game.
If we play FM full the person who connects to the others game has a variety of problems and we never manage to start the game properly. What happens is the following
-First try to connect to the game we get the window saying "Connecting to Online Game" - it stays for 30 seconds and then you are taken back to the screen which lists available network games
-Second try you get past that window but not much more, you get this - https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/SY8qd1wopMubLylX2E2xSknQ7iQymHopOOM0jM3c.png
-We did sometime get past that processing thing but then things got even more weird, the person who joined was asked if he wanted to save the game, which makes no sense seeing he is not the one who can do that as he is not the host.
We tried both hosting, both forwarded ports on our routers. We both have a 50/50 mb connection from the same network provider. He has brand new iMac and I have a solid gaming computer - i5-3750k OC'd to 4ghz, 8gb of RAM and etc.
We also tried to play FMC and that seemed to go somewhat better but the person who joined just had the game way to slow to even be playable. We have played network games since CM01/02 and we realize that the connector always has delay, that 1 or 2 second from every click which gets somewhat annoying but is playable. But this was ludicrous, each click had a delay of 30-50 seconds and the game felt like you where running it on a 10 year old computer. Mind you this is always just the person who is connecting, the host doesn't feel any of the bugs. But we both have pretty ideal setups regarding internet and computers to host a game.
Anyone who has had these issues and knows what's up ? We certainly have tried all we can.
