Yup as much as it pains me to say it SI have killed this game.
I have been playing FM since FM 2007 which was the hardest one for me to play but realistic. But since the latest patch of 14 they have just killed all fun within this game. The match engine is brutal, not difficult just brutal.
At least in Fm13 you had to make odd tactical tweaks but in 14 it feels that you have to almost completely change tactic every game in this one for you to even stand a chance of a respectable league position which means your team will never become completely comfortable with the Tactics.
Furthermore there is a problem with the motivation of the players so i.e. I am using Dartford in BSP and find that I beat Luton 3 - 0 one game and the team barely reacted to praise and left it on good, then get a 2 - 2 draw away to Gateshead and despite positive reactions to team talk they are now on poor/abysmal.
Final annoying flaw as well how easy it is to drop into annoying runs of crap results (So won 4 on the bounce, then come from behind to draw now have drawn/lost last 5 games). It isn't fun anymore it is just irritating and not a good game.
WTF SI you are alienating a hardcore longstanding supporter of this once magical game.
I do not expect to smash every save, but I expect the game to not be so infuriatingly stupid.
