I don't have the money to have squad depth in every possible position on the pitch. I don't use CAMs or RMs or LMs in my tactics with this team. So when the team (my entire starting eleven and half of my regular bench) come in and demands that I sign good quality depth at CAM, I assume that the game is exaggerating and that it'll sort itself out when I talk with them, but nope. Because the interactions in this game have gotten so much worse compared to last year. I tell them that I don't feel like I need one, and they all become angry. Now let's take a look at how my dynamics have changed... Great, SI....Great. I know I'm not the only one dealing with these "lack of squad depth" protests, and they are not the only issues I've had with conversations and demands from players in this year's version. I had a top goalscorer who was praised every week for his training, got played every game (despite being promised breakthrough prospect), and he was professional...but all of a sudden he bursts into my office to complain about how I've been treating him. Players have also been complaining about me saying they weren't good enough after a game...when we lost a game we should have won. Overall, the player interactions were broken during the 'early access' and they still are. Guess we'll have to live with this for the entire year. Guess I'll become a guy who saves before every interaction, because this is ridiculous. Time to book in some team bonding sessions. And no I don't have a save file from before it happened. I started unemployed and don't have a save file since I joined my current club like a month ago.

I have played for a while at Vancouver FC, and have been looking for another job. Now I have gone through the entire interview part and have been approached with a contract from Cape Town Spurs. It is at this point that my current club tries to talk me out of leaving. But if I tell them that my mind is made up and that I will leave, the contract offer from Cape Town Spurs disappears completely. Why? And if I accept the contract offer first, I'm still left unemployed for some reason. What is going on!? We agreed on a contract and signed it, but it still messes up!? The ONLY way this works is if I REFUSE to attend the meeting with my old club's board at all, because otherwise I won't get the job at Cape Town Spurs. It glitches out or something.

It seems the summary doesn't see any of the players at all and think's it's a poor intake with 0 players.

As you can see, he's supposed to be unavailable, but he's not. I've been able to play him all this time. The save file I'm supplying is not for the same date, but the same save. It's been going on for a while.

Perhaps I'm ignorant and getting annoyed at nothing but... Why is Taiwan labelled Chinese Taipei (China PR) in game? I get the Chinese Taipei part, but WHY the (China PR)!? Is that SI claiming that China owns Taiwan? Because the only other states which have the same labelling is Hong kong and Macao, which both officially are ruled by China. Taiwan has been its own nation according to FIFA for a LONG time, so why did SI feel the need to specify (China PR)? Just asking, because it seems weird to me. There might be an actual reason, and I'm just ignorant, but to me this seems insane.

I'm playing in the MLS and it is clearly not a league SI has put a lot of effort into, with countless small annoying bugs or just stupid designs. But this is actually maddening. The most I can promise is the playoffs, which is reasonable if the game doesn't take the next stage of the competition into account (the end of the MLS is a playoff with quarter/semi finals etc.). But each and every player tells me that I'm not being ambitious enough and I can not promise anything more. This is honestly so frustrating because there's nothing I can do about it. I'm forced to have this team meeting, and I'm forced to upset the entire squad. Fix this. And if you're going to have the MLS in the game, fix the league. Make negotiations negotiable. Make draft transfers show up in transfer history. Make the waiver list make sense, or at least explain it. In fact, explain a lot of things better. But right now, this is the most annoying thing. I'll attach images and a save file of the moment before the team meeting.
