Is it just me or is anyone else having problems with game play once
the patch is installed?

Before the i installed the patch i had been playing for 10 game years.
I took Carshalton into the Premiership in successive years winning
every league except League 2 (play off victory).

After 2 years in the Premiership with mid-table finishes i went off to
manage Man Utd where i won a Premiership title once and came second
twice, won the Euro Cup once, Champions League twice and all other
cups at least once. Quite successful i think?

I took the England job and won all 10 World Cup qualifying (32 goals
for 2 against) games plus friendlies with ease and the Confederations
Tournament.

I installed the patch after the last qualifying game by which time i
was into my first season with Crystal Palace in the Championship. I
had just completed 14 straight wins and and was sitting top of the
league by 9 points.

Since i installed the patch i have had 5 straight defeats, the most
defeats in a row in my 10 years and also England got their pants
pulled down by Poland 4-0!!

I am considering going back to the previous version. Should patches
really mess up your teams like this? Just when you think you have a
good system you get it taken away from you! :(

I haven't noticed any difference in my Sevilla game, were still as
consisstant before and after 5.0.3 patch (Win home games, lose away games) I
did have a run of 14 games unbeaten after the patch.

All I've noticed so far are a few cosmetic changes (game remembers previous
screens, settings, national badges show in matches etc...). It also looks
like they have made the computer more aggresive in the transfer market, I've
lost a couple of players due to min. release fees and the comp has tried to
snatch some of my u17s.

i have noticed a drop in my liverpool teams performance, but i think thats
me

i am 3rd in premiership (joint second with arsenal) and chelsea have flown
away, i was beaten by stoke in the FA cup 3rd round and am managing czech
republic as well and had a tough game against arsenal

things have picked up though due to my tactical changes but i dont think i
should have lost to stoke i was looking forward to a cup run

sick of winning the premiership i cant seem to get any victory in europe

i play arsenal in the league win 3 - 1 then 2 weeks later Champs Cup quarter
final they kill me 6 - 0, gotta keep on plodding

I've had no trouble with an existing savegame but starting a new one has
been exasperating.
I've dished out quite a few 30+ to <5 shots on target walkovers before but
this is the first time I've ever been on the receiving end (except as Dover
v Man U) - and this as Barcelona at home to Albacete.

Only 8% crosses completed with Ronaldinho and Guily as wingers!?!?

Something the patch hasn't stopped is rival managers sneering that you'll
never win the league when you already have with 5 matches to go

How many non-EU players does it let you have at Barcelona?

Good question. How can you find exactly how many non EU players you have at
any one time when the "FGN" sign is usually obscured by unh, PR, lst, lmp,
ine etc?

Think I have 6 at the moment but can only play 3 in a league/cup match.
Performance has improved dramatically since the novelty of having a rookie
manager has worn off. Signed Robinho for £12.5m, too late to register him
for league games. He's only eligible for Cup and Euro games. Does this
change in January?

Yep around mid December - around about when the transfer market reopens. It
should say at the bottom of the screen when you are picking players how many
non-EU players you are allowed, just above the total amount of players
registratored, it should only let you assign numbers to 3 non-EU players,
I've had a couple of computer teams select more than 3 non-EU teams, with
Barcelona being one of them and was wondering if it is just a computer
thing, or a team thing.
