One feature in the game or mechanic if you want that has gotten worse and worse over the years, and is now borderline unusable is letting your DOF do your incoming transfers. Like most clubs in the world do their transfer by letting their DOF negotiate and finalise signings. The last couple of years he has at every level I've managed at in the game signed less players than I have sold, leaving me with big gaps in the team. But this year in FM 24 its just awful.. he wont sign ANYONE... only u21 for the reserve teams. And he has the money to go and sign players, he has been given the responsibility in the staff screen but it JUST DOES NOT HAPPEN.
Signing my own players and using a lot of time and effort on doing it makes the game too easy so I wont do that, and I feel its increasingly realistic to leave it to the club's DOF to do transfers, but this just makes the game unplayable for me playing it my way. Think I have to go back to an earlier game where it wasn't broken
