Share & Download FM19 Tactics. Football Manager 2014 - 14.3 patch. The Football Manager 2014 patch with winter transfers and other bug fixes has just gone live.

3 minutes into the first match and a long ball over the top sees my GK take up ridiculous positioning 15 yards away from the goal and lined up with one of the posts, with an easy finish for the opponent. Also, what was already a yellow card-fest for me in the last patch has already seen the increased dribbling result in 5 yellow card and a red. In the first half. I should add that in general things are much, much MUCH improved in terms of the players performance and decisions. I'm just really worried about these cards.

As I'm typing this, just got my second sending off. Down to 9 men. Do you have any Player or Team Instructions which influence the way your team tackles / Closes Down? I do keep hassle opponents ticked but I finished the first match with 7 yellows and 2 reds.

I was playing on counter mentality. That's the only instruction that really would affect anything, player or team. Also there was a cross from outside the area that went literally one foot in front of my GK face, who was already standing AT THE GOALLINE, for a tap in goal at the far post.

I didn't see any stupid bugs from the GK, but my keeper was pretty dumb in this first match. He has 16 decisions and 18 positioning. 2nd game I removed hassle opponents and my team just kind of walked around and didn't seem to try to win the ball at all.

Huge difference with and without hassle opponents. Not sure if I can find a middle ground. Also, in the 2nd game I had 2 own goals where defenders slid for a cross and put it in their own net. One of them was completely uncontested. Either I'm having ridiculous bad luck in the first 2 games after the patch, or I'm going to have real problems enjoying the patch. Either way, i'm insanely frustrated right now and I don't have time to deal with the obsession that comes with revamping all of my tactics. Is there a way to distinguish between direct and indirect free kicks in regards to setting up defensively?

I have set players to stand on the posts when defending a free kick, although I have just conceded a goal where a player took a direct free kick, around 20 yards out but because I had players stood on the posts, a player stood on the edge of the 6 yard box and flicked the ball in. Obviously I know that I told them to stand there, and when we're defending a free kick from the flanks I do want them stood there. Just not from direct free kicks. Nope, it's definitely the 14.3.0 database.

Another loan signing we've made from Preston (Nicky Wroe) is correct, for example, but I've made sure to load up the new database with a new save three times now, and Connolly is at Portsmouth, listed as a player/coach. Ahh, I see the problem here. The loan is correctly set in the database, but Connolly is also set as a player & non-player due to his coaching role with the U18s at Portsmouth. Therefore, the data extractor has not enabled the loan due to him being a non-player as well as a player. I apologise for not identifying this error during the testing phase. If you wish to use the editor to ensure this loan is included in a new savegame, then please amend Connolly's classification from 'player & non-player' to just 'player'.
