CM4 is by no means a finished product, and I think we all have CM3 fresh in mind. What bugs you most about it?

I noticed two main problems.

1. English teams dominate Europe. Looking back at history, Real Madrid has won the CL 3 times the past decade, ManU, Arsenal and Liverpool a combined of one. Yet in my games Real never win jack in Europe, somehow they always self destruct around the quarter finals, while one of the English win most often. It very much looks like a group of British programmers catered to a public mostly British. :rolleyes:

2. Roma unbeatable. No matter how many times I've played, in the first season Roma are always unbeatable. Often I've taken control of them to mess them up just cause it bugged me. Fair enough they won the league but this is ridiculous! :fero:

EDIT: I got another..

3. Whether it's a player you're following or one of your own players, it's friggin moronic how the game is played out. You are notified that a player's contact has expired in a news message, then in the next message you learn a contract has been offered by another party, yet in another you learn it has been signed. And all those messages come with no time passed in between them. So basically, you can lose a player all in one go, from the time the contract expires to the time it's signed takes about 3 milliseconds and there's not a damn thing you can do about it. WTF is that about?? :fero:

actally i dont find english teams unstoppale. when i played with juve, most oftenly 3 cl semifinalists were italians. man are dominating in epl, but in europe they didn't do anything good. what bothered me was the results of borussia, that won 2 WCCs in a row. and arsenal didnt even make to 2002/03 cl because of their place in epl. only man utd was against the best team in europe, but certainly not the best

    I don't know how many games you played then, I know I played quite a few, maybe 7-10 different games and more often than not the English dominated in Europe.

    I have to admit that I usually play as the English teams, but I've not found them to dominate europe. In fact, the game I'm in the middle of at the moment is with Chelsea, and 3-4 games into the second group stage, Man U, Arsenal, Newcastle and Leeds are on the verge of elimination (Arsenal did win it last season, I think).

    I have found that the Spanish teams underachieve to a stupid extrent. When I played with Oldham for 25 or so seasons, I dominated Europe totally, but the teams closest to me were always Italian, or to a lesser extent, English, never Spanish.

    It's even worse when you lose 1-0, having dominated, putting 20+ shots on target, and they score with their only shot on target (sometimes their only shot, period).

    And has anyone else ever had a guy score two goals, and still play a five? :fero:

    I have another annoyance. In my current game, I have a 20 year old CD who came out of my youth scheme, and has already been capped twice by England. Real Madrid have bid the same 3.8M + 600k after 20 appearances five times in the last week. :mad:

    I've had to raise his price to £17M to shut them up, which may piss him off if he stays on my bench.

    Aaahh, I don't like CM 01/01 at all, it's just so full of bugs and it doesn't really have anything new from CM2. The interface is horrible and it's just so slow....

    ;)
