Game is way too easy.

[Cephei]

I love the new engine, feels much like the real game, the movements, animations, attacking, pressuring opponents, passes. decisions attackers make it's pretty good.

However defending really have to be buffed, they run out of positions way too often. Also the A.I can use some buffs. Goalkeepers as well, might as well play without goalkeepers because they never stop any shots even from long distances.
These a few random screenshots when playing as Feyenoord.

8-1 vs Man City as Feyenoord in the champions league. All my players have worse attributes than players of Man City yet they got destroyed like a bunch of newbies.

It takes the fun away from me.

Here are a few other screenshots


1-0 vs PSV with PSV doing a total of 0 shots... so boring.

5-0 against Ajax...

Game is way too easy.


I'm using the strongest tactic, a 4-4-2 balanced style that I tweaked on my own.


Please fix the game I want to get destroyed by the elite teams.... My players are far worse with player attributes than my opponents.

And I want to at least have a challenge when playing in the Dutch competition agianst clubs like PSV and Ajax... what's the point of playing vs PSV and they play like a bunch of amateurs that literally do 0 shots the entire match.

Holy words, they do not want to understand that it is NOT funny this way, we want a serious challenge

Anyone listening out there?????

Please

I can save scum those result too plus if I buy all high pace and high acceleration I can win even with much worst player just don’t exploit the game and than call it easy

I wish there were AI mods to increase difficulty like in CIV VI

What do you mean exploiting the game? 100% legit, no eploits or anything used.
and my players aren't even top, let alone their attributes. Most don't have accelaration and pace above 14 or 15.
Even Haaland alone has a higher transfer value than all of my players combined that I used.

See for yourself.

The reality is the difficulty hasn't been increased because there likely isn't a viable way to increase it. But smarter AI decision making would improve the game so much.

Yeah, something is really wrong with the game, top of the league with Blackburn after 30 games, everyone is scoring ridiculous amounts of goals regardless of their stats.

It's not enjoyable, something needs fixing!

The A.I is usually too cautious especially in away games. They have a lot of ball possession and play at a very low tempo but never do anything when they have the ball. Even the very strong teams park the bus in away games.

I've played all the versions since the original Domark version with the Collyer brothers. This was meant to be (according to Miles) the best version ever before they move over to FM2025. What a let down tbh. There's bugs in this that have been reported for years.

They also promised more open comms, but as soon as the s**t hits the fan they go back into secretive mode.

Refunded and gone back to 2023

If only that was true, they patch the game in March but the same bugs slip through year after year.

If you think fm23 is better than this I really can’t help you

I know what you mean....I'm playing in step 6 with the worst club.....my last match the ball was in the back of my opponents net 6 times......I lost 1-0 by an own goal from an errant back pass. BTW my club only back passes to my keeper when I change tactics to attacking and high tempo at which point they will consistently waste time by passing back to my keeper even if they are alone in front of the opposition keeper. To make the game even easier....at least 30-35 passes/match are way too short and slow so as to allow the opposition to intercept and dribble to my keeper for an easy goal or two....now I can see this happening while attempting 30-40 yd passes.....but I have a setup with short passes selected. Now I can place 100% of the blame on my tactic selection....even when I lose three matches to clubs in the relegation zone of step 6 and having 3-4 grey players one of which is the keeper......and having their winger Acc 5 Pace 4 Drib 4 out pace my defender Acc 9 Pace 9 tac 8 mar 9 while they are dribbling......

So yes by all means make the game more difficult so players playing in the upper tiers with edited players and clubs can feel challenged.....

I just hope the a.i gets buffed especially in away games. It's no fun to play against clubs that are so passive. Clubs like Man City parking the bus the whole game against Feyenoord.
