Regardless, they never respond. I have posted on their main thread countless times referencing how online dominates the conversation. I will post something, somebody will post something about online and almost immediately he will receive a response as if my post isn't even there. The only response I have received was from Rutter saying they are reading and addressing all of them.

Pretty vague.

Either way, I wanted to touch on a few gameplay issues.

Because you are playing the CPU you have to deal with CPU magic. I hope they understand that we are 1 player vs 11. Literally.

There are 2 major issues when calling a second defender. 1 is they take a straight line rather than an angle making the margin of error minute. Second is that if you are calling a defender and the CPU has an arrant pass, the carry over causes your player to boot the ball deep even though you didn't have possession. My suggestion would be that unless you realize the pass is arrant and can hit O again for a one timer, there should be no carry over and you should intercept the pass. That just makes sense. Period.

In step with the first part of that rant, your help defenders (CPU controlled) show know intelligence or desire to stop a striker moving through the middle and you can't possible switch back and forth quick enough to continue to keep guys in position and pressuring the ball. They need to add an attribute similar to aggression in reference to attacking for Defenders. Like Defensive Aggression that the higher it is the quicker they will close down, but the more aggressively, thus more likely to foul. Would be a nice touch.

Also, they need to add an attribute like Work Rate or Energy to address attacking players. Gerrard would have a 99 and constantly attack yet also add pressure to midfield players. On the other hand, Berbatov would not. Unfortunately, ever striker will hunt you down relentlessly and either expertly slide tackle you off the ball (better than any of my CB's) or commit a foul that almost never receives a card. If a striker is dispossessed and then slide tackles the Defender, he might get away with it once. I have it happen at least 6 times a game.

I also play my games on 15 minutes halves. So please slow down the game so the stats aren't inflated.

Thanks.

I agree with the FIFA 09 problems in MM simply because it takes out the realism to the game. Before EA start adding more features to the MM they need to sort out all the glitches. The one that esspecially annoyed me is the one were it keeps crashing. Ive had enough of it seriously!

Also, having no weather effects is rediculous, there's no excuse for there not being any night games, playing in a UEFA Chamipions League or Carling Cup match at day is a little off putting and unrealistic.

Fortunately there is a way to fix this, by simply going on the kick off menu selecting the stadium and night weather, then go back to manager mode and the match should turn up at night, if it doesn't then the stadium probably dosen't have a night option, same goes with overcast but for some reason there still isn't any rain or snow effects. It is tedious having to do this but if you want different weather in manager mode besides playing in sun all the time then you can do this.

This is just a class thread highlighting bugs of the MM.

Please sort out the crash problem!

What i would like to see would be realistic transfers i have never had a bid for any of my star players at the mo i'm luton in the premiership with eto', walcott and other stars, would be nice for other teams to approach you for players without having to transfer list them e.g man utd and berbatov. Also if my striker scores 40+ goals a season surely you would have all the big guns knocking on the door. Just lacks realism Really

Swedish teams can not qualify either. I won every game and didn't qualify for the ECC. I'm guessing that Swiss and Czech teams can't either.

there is one when ur energy goes to full ever match even if u play same team for like 100 games in a row

On wikipedia it states the winners of Allsvenskan qualify for the UEFA Champions League, and enter the competition at the first qualifying round. Because Fifa doesn't have these earlier qualifying rounds in the game i presume that is why Swedish teams don't qualify.

The CL has three knockout qualifying rounds in real life, on Fifa i think the ECC only has one of these qualifying rounds. Im not exactly sure how EA make up the numbers of the ECC as there are 32 teams in it.

I don't know if Czech teams can qualify for the ECC or EFA. can anyone confirm? According to wiki currently, the top two teams from Gambrinus liga enter the Champions League. It doesnt say whether they have to play qualifying rounds or if they go directly to the group stages.

I'll add it to the list as surely winners of eligible league's such as Allsvenskan should be able to get into Europe either through qualifiers or directly to the group stage.

Ive never experienced or heard of that glitch. Im not saying your lying but i'll wait until other people confirm its true before adding it.

Frozen at 37% in 2nd season.

[Coxy85UK]

In team of the year at the end of season, it always has a couple of my players that havent even played a game that season!

[Mongolourk]

I don't understand why the crash problem hasn't been solved now. My MM mode crashed at the beginning of my second season, got stuck at 60%.

I mean come on, this bug is known almost since the release of the game, we had numerous update for FIFA, but none for this bug ??????? COME ON EA, you've got to take care of this and don't let down players.

[Mongolourk]

I'm starting to wondering what is this topic for, since no EA guys seems to come over

Although no one from EA has replied to the thread, i have given the link to the QA (Quality Assurance) team so hopefully they will ensure at least some of these glitches are fixed for Fifa 10.

The schedule of my 6th season was all messed up. Instead of saying 2014-2015 it went from 2014-2016. lalala. A three year season?

During this 'season' also, I played all of the cup games first, no league games at all until all of the cup games were complete. Then it went to league games. So I played 38 league games in a row. Very strange.

Another HUGE bug to me that I hate is that no other teams get new players and retire old players. Ive seen players damn near 40. I mean MM is so fake and ridiculous that I cant hardley stand playing it anymore.

That is very odd. Ive played about 4 EFA group matches in a row before with no League matches in between but ive never played ALL Cup matches before playing League matches. Is this on 360 or PS3?

The CPU teams do buy players occasionally but they don't rotate their squad so you never play against their new players. something which EA definatly need to address.

[jaymc1407]

dunno if this has been mentioned but it always bugged the hell outa me (dunno why). When you get promoted from league to league, the badges on the arms of players kits which indicate which league they play in do not change... so if i get sheffield united into the premiership they still play with the championship badge on their shirts. it really looks stupid. these badges should change corresponding what league they play in.

i was also going to suggest on champions league or europa league games the badges should change corresponding to that also, but i think fifa would have to get licencing for that.

you could expand this to international games aswell ie world cup and euro championship. i mean fifa bring out a world cup + euro championship game every 2 years so im sure they can get licencing for them as well to be incorporated into the game.

[cooler08]

Yes it's been mentioned here - Premiership arm badges

I only notice the arm badge when i zoom in a Replay so it doesn't bother me but yes the badge should change from promotion/relegation to other leagues.

[Skynyrd1888]

Don't know if this has happened to anyone or been mentioned before, so apologies if it has.

When looking through the group tables I noticed that a few teams were in both the ECC and the EFA cups, sometimes duplicate teams were in the same cup. This really didn't bother me until I moved clubs at the end of the season for a greater challenge and found out that I was in two different groups in the same cup (EFA), meaning that I sometimes had to play two games on the same day!!! Also if i progressed into the knock-out rounds from both of the groups I would eventually end up playing myself! So I'm not sure if I want to try it to see what happens 'cos I don't want to screw up my entire manager career thing. Anyone got any insight for this problem?

As a patcher i've noticed ea were too lazy to take out the 'hidden' league that fenerbahce and galatasaray are in. So they qualify from two different leagues.

Yes, I have also seen PSG and Fiorentina appear twice in the EEC.

Another bug that isnt mentioned here, is that sometimes there is a bug where 5 teams from the same league can qualify for EEC, I have only seen this when playing in the Serie A, but I have seen it every time I have done so. I finished second with Juventus, so I qualified, so Did Inter (1st), Fiorentina (3rd), Genova (4th) and Milan (5th). So there were 5 Italian teams in EEC. Which should not be possible, or even legal Also, the teams from your own league always qualifies for group stages and for the final 16. They are never knocked out before that. At least I have never seen it.

One of them probably won the EEC the previous season

[RCFC_ChAoS]

very unrealistic champions league and uefa cup.. many team get duplicated...as with my manager i qualified for the champions league twice..also i dont think Swindon Town will be in the champions league in recent years to come... aslo legendry difficulty is far too easy after playing the game for a while and its to easy in MM to get all your players to rating 99

[cooler08]

Ive updated the first post. Glitches which we know have been fixed for Fifa 10 are highlighted in blue. If you know of any other things which have been fixed, please mention them.

[leosmithx3]

I Remember Before I Was Aston Villa And I Had Aston Villa In The Efa Cup final I Won and The Headline Said Glorious Win Etc Then I Continued Another Headline Came Up Aston villa Dumped Out Of cup weird ?

[leosmithx3]

and the reason i was in the efa cup twice was because i came 5th and won the fa cup

[SeanS_1990]

Its not like any of these glitches are major changes, they wouldnt be hard to revamp for fifa 10... manager mode gets so boring after the first season especially when you dont like simming games im sick of playing the same teams all the time. i have to pretend that players are injured so i can play a game with a youngster, would rafa benitez drop torres to start ngog, no, if he torres was injured, then maybe he would but torres never gets injured and when he does hes out for a day with a dislocated finger after rolling round for hours clutching his knee ... PLEASE EA just fix the small bugs and glitches and make up for it by adding new features

[brazilianjim10]

with the budget point in fifa 10 its been announced if you complete targets the board sets you will recieve more money and wage budget at the beginning of each season so that particular point is sort of fixed for 10
