  1. Don't think you can. International management is very much an afterthought in FM, they haven't bothered working on it at all really for years now. Hopefully it gets a big overhaul for FM25 with the introduction of women's football, where it's even more important than it is in the men's game.
  2. Would be interested to know how the game was managed. At a guess: -Tells the team at half-time that they're basically the second coming of Christ and all completely incredible, doing nothing to guard against complacency -Leaves the tactics on an attacking setup -Opposition goes into damage control mode, sits back more, and also succesfully motivates their team at the break -They slowly begin to get more control in midfield and make some chances -As the goals go in, the user changes absolutely nothing "because I was 5-0 up!!!" -5 goals go in, ragepost time.
  3. Unfortunately this wasn't fixed and it still broken in the latest update. e.g. Turkey finished 2nd in the first season just don't get an extra spot at all - indeed, they lost a spot they were meant to have in the Conference League! The logic is completely broken ouside the Top 4 leagues. It's very clearly either never been properly tested, or found and ignored, because it can be replicated every single time.
  4. I've just run a quick test without the file, and... I think it might actually be fixed at last? Training appears to happen as normal and players aren't overly fatigued!
  5. Yep. Legally, direct discrimination has to be a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim. It's fine e.g. to only consider women to provide intimate care to other women, or to only consider a Black actor to play the role of Malcom X, or to require that a Preist be a practicing Christian. Football physios would be an interesting case. I think you could definitely e.g. argue that it's legitimate to want woman physios for a women's football team, especially because sadly it's a statistical near-certainty that some number of women in every squad will have been sexually assaulted by men and may carry trauma around that.
  6. I'm non-binary and would really like this. But I don't expect it to happen, because translation would make it a monumental task. English is relatively simple with the ability to use "they" pronouns instead of "he" or "she", but in other languages with more grammatical gender for every noun etc, it might be much more difficult.
  7. Might mess around in the Editor and see if it works better if you just go a bit fantasy and change the rules. E.g. a) Remove minimum domestic player requirements entirely - should work but a big departure from reality. Or b) Count some nations as non-foreign to Saudi Arabia. In order of impact that could be other Gulf states, other Arab states, other Sunni-majority states, other Muslim states, or the whole of Africa and Asia. Doesn't seem entirely unrealistic that they'd seek to promote players from across the region and might give a large enough pool for the genius transfer AI not to go completely wrong.
  8. I almost wonder if this should have the history of the Club World Cup up to now, given that it's essentially the same tournament with a rebrand, while the new Club World Cup should start from scratch given its vastly increased scope.
  9. International football is a much bigger part of the women's game than the men's. I'm seriously hoping it's getting a huge revamp next year to tie in with the introducton of women's football.
  10. It's not even that unlikely though in Scotland where you've only got 11 other teams in your league
  11. Yeah, this is going to be a thing in real life. Rather than stop the leagues for international breaks in September, October and November, they're going to have one longer break where most qualifiers etc are played.
  12. I wouldn't necessarily say it's broken. A league suddenly growing in stature doesn't always mean it's going to get a big TV deal. Fans around the world already support clubs in traditionally big leagues and aren't like to switch - that tradition they have matters. Just look at Saudi Arabia - a relatively high-rep league in FM now, with tons of the world's top players there, and nobody gives a damn about watching it. There was a roughly 25-year window from around the early-90s to the late-10s where football went from barely been televised, to everyone around the world who's likely to ever be interested in the sport picking a favourite team/league and following it. Now it's completely globalised, those countries (e.g. Scotland) which failed to take advantage of this are pretty likely to be permanently shut-out of the big bucks.
  13. Just please don't fix it too much the other way! It's very good that goalies can actually get injured in matches now and you need to have one on the bench.
  14. I'd absolutely love this as a trans person. It would probably be pretty hard to add in pronouns other than He/Him or She/Her though because of the number of languages the game has to be translated in to, and the fact that a lot of them have changes to many, many words depending on the gender of the person refered to. I remember back in the day SI saying how it had been surprisingly difficult to do this back when they added female managers for the first time, and I expect it'd be the same again for minimal reward. One approach taken in The Sims 4 is to allow full pronoun customisation, but only when playing in English.
  15. I'm hoping that in the full release, it will be possible to add an earlier start date in the Editor to change this. Would be nice to just have something in June before the transfer window opened. (I'm assuming that if you start in e.g. Japan on Real World or Your World that he's still at Chelea, although I haven't tested this yet.
