which is completely irrelevant.

The law is denying a clear goal scoring opportunity, not last man if we're gonna discuss the rules.

and that is a clear goal scoring opportunity he was last man on the edge of the box

Struggling in Championship with Altrincham, brought them up from the Blue square north but finding it hard to push up, got a good array of players, my starting eleven is all 3-4.5 stars and i can generally cover injuries with a 2.5, a 1-2 if it gets bad.
But despite that, in games really struggling to hold onto the ball and create chances.
Playing a 4-4-2 or a 4-3-1-2.

Any suggestions?

Doesn't the game have refereeing mistakes programmed in?

Retain possession, slow tempo, control might help.

Yes, how else would the in game FA be able to fine you for talking badly about the referee after the match :tongue:

Early/Mid March.

Seems a rather pessimistic estimate. I've had other things taking up my time recently so haven't really been keeping much of an eye on SI's forums but is that their official line or are you just guessing there? The January transfer update is normally released in late February, sometimes creeping into early March. Last year was hopefully just a one-off in that it was due to be out in very early March but was considerably delayed (by a week or two?) because of some critical bugs that were discovered late in the testing phase.

yes but its mostly for offside (the off side lines dont usually show in the replay when they are wrong

although ive seen the game give a wrong decision and not realise it cause yanks are useless

You do realise it is a team led by a British man as a subsiduary of (Japanese) SEGA don't you?

And it will be programmed for other mistakes as well as the referee gets criticised in the match report for errors being made :dontknow:

i did not hmm maybe its deliberate or just a coding restriction then that you can get offside for a player not interfering with play :/

Agreed, that really is annoying and I agree it must be a coding limitation :sigh:

Have a listen to the Football Manager podcasts, Miles Jacobsen (head of SI) leads them. Normally quite enjoyable to listen to.

Cheers for that took a pop with it in a 4-4-2 and managed to hold 50-60% possession throughout the game. Also had more shots than the opponent, sadly my strikers can't seem to finish and only 1 shot was on target so lots 2-0 :P

It's not just Miles who's British, the majority of the dev team at Sports Interactive are Brits based down in London :smile:

Miles is rather cute, too :cute:
