    after updating, my player always attempt to do a long shot even though i’ve set the long shots for each player rarely, and the player seems to be less responsive than 1320
    and in this version, its very hard to create a goal, even when I play against lower division club

    i hope in the next update you’ll fix those problems

      I did notice a few more attempts from distance after updating but I’ve not complaints regarding the amount of chances my team is creating.

    Since this update, no head shots show up for people that had them before the update. Has anyone else seen this?

      I think you should send this message to SI. As much as we’d love to, we can’t solve those problems you might have in the game.

      P.S.: And for the future, please don’t post all caps messages here.

    Patch 13.2.1 is ruining my player! He has been on an international duty since november and now its February. He is Australian and just played at the Asian Cup but now the cup is over. He was supposed to return the 26th of January but now it’s 2nd of February and he is still out. He is a key player, best player Australians have had (re-generated player) and he is lacking in every skill. Please fix this!

      That sounds like a serious bug. But I have to repeat, you have to report these bugs to SI, not to us.
