Goalkeeper keeps makeing stupid mistakes

[Netflix]

I opened a new save, and I signed ter-stegen as my gk at the beginning of the season. Hell I was't pleased, GK makes mistake almost everysingle match, moving out and give opponents free scores, keeps giving opponent striker assists. Same thing happens to valdes second season when I got him on free transfer. Both keepers have average rating below 6.0. Why is this happening?

the game is useless,,, i thot this game would be more realistic than fifa manager bt its even worse. this game is far from realistic. the keeper n defender errors are nothing short of appalling

I've had Buffon, who pretty is collectively agreed to be one of the greatest keepers playing now and possibly of all time, make about 4 amateur, absolutely horrendous mistakes. Definitely isn't just you.

I'm playing Sirigu and Handanovic in goal, they seem to be less error prone on the stupid error side I have no clue why though.


Handanovic is a lucky pick though he's supposed to be horrendous at goalkicks but he lands them every time for me.

GK are broken, and that's one of the few things which really frustrate me in ME.

I watch whole game in 2D and both my and opposite GK sometimes just compete who will be more retarded with nonsense free kicks.

I played with AFC against Juventus in UCL group. I had two player advantage for 20 min.
Buffon saved absolutely everything (0 - 0) :-/.

I've never had this trouble before, ever since this 14.21 patch gks are broken

SI's uptates are ♥♥♥♥! Even it goes much bad. I don't know what they think when creating new updates. They always erasing one bad thing and makes one bad thing. Funny.

Can't say I've experienced any problems with my keeper. I'm on a 10 game unbeaten run and haven't conceded in the last 4 matches. Perhaps you all need to check how your defense is set up in tactics, and how the keeper distributes the ball - if he's giving it away too often, you need to change that tactically. Using match analysis after a game can highlight these things. Simple really.

Well the same tactics worked perfectly fine in my other saves( of course i changed middlefield settings a little bit for southampton since 4-2-3-1 works great for spurs but 4-3-3 is better for saints imo, so many good b2b middlefields) denfense are great but gks keep sending free gifts away, this might be an adaptation and language issue, but I don't understand why is it so hard for GK to stay in position

If you changed the midfield settings, you changed the tactic.

I use a Very Rigid fluidity in my tactic - players don't wander off out of position that way. And my keeper distributes to defenders - gets rarely intercepted. I'm playing my own version of a 4-5-1 with my Queens University Belfast team. Initially I had to tweak player instructions, etc. while the team became familiar with the tactic, but now it works extremely well home and away. W9-D1-L2 in BT Championship 1 this season, and top of the table.

another person complaining about things sinces last update and yet again the fanbois blaming tactics that worked fine before the update.

tactic is fine, defender wasn't the issue, gks were, and same(from the new save) works wonderfully well in my older save, so no its not tactic issue.

need more time to confirm if the language barrier was the cause, gk is improving

In my experience goalies never perform well in their first season except szsceney and ter stegen, they usually step up if you bring in real competition though like in my first season with spurs lloris had only 10 shutouts overall i got joe hart in my second season and now lloris already has 10 clean sheets in 17 appearances halfway through the season

No, it's not simple. You fanboys need to understand that GK issues are widely known.

Explain, why SI officially announced that in the next pacth (14.3) they will fix match engine, among others, GK errors?

I think I've actually given up on this game now. The stupid mistakes from players and the sheer amount of corners I keep conceding is going beyond frustrating and into a whole new territory of rage. All the enjoyment has been sapped out and trying to build a decent team has become a lot more like hard work than it ever used to be. I'm not saying it should be easy but the excitement of the challenge of finding the best tactics for your team etc has dissolved and given way to genuine despair. The least enjoyable FM I've ever experienced and I've been playing since CM4
