Well I think you covered it.

Getting sorted next patch. They are having issues with the 2nd part of the defensive phase. Must be to do with the set piece setups they've added

Ok I get you. Yes those are the factors that the manager would use. I don't know of anything else I obvious that would say otherwise. But also look at the Data Hub and possibly watch a few games of the opposition AI, there's a lot of information of where they win the ball and also what player roles they normally use

Not sure what your question is? Are you asking because you are seeing alot of managers play a certain style?

But the debates are about issues with the game. If a mod was to reach out and basically say “this is a known issue being looked into, so there is no reason to debate anymore” these wouldn’t be occurring as much.

Noticing threads being locked also because of ‘bickering’, couldn’t SI just release a ‘Known Bug List’ so all this bickering stops. Doesn’t seem fair that there’s information within these threads that get lost and then new users post asking the same questions.

Can someone from SI nip this in the bud once and for all. in regards to people saying the game feels to easy at present, does this have to with 1) Subs not being used correctly (85th min etc) 2) AI not managing squads as it should 3) Are these league specific, reputational or something else There is a lot of of debates going on and I think someone from SI need to end it now as it’s getting frustrating with all these theories of what is going on. edit: if it does get clarified, can you pin it in the main forum for all to see

Jimmy Wong pinned the next major patch will include Improvements to AI squad building and substitutions logic if only a ‘few’ people experienced, then why is it in the major patch. Just stop please! So many people have posted it as a problem! Just because you haven’t seen it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

For me personally, I will only buy next years edition once I see where they go from here. A beta branch is a logical solution to an ongoing problem. To have to wait for the major patches to play the game is not the way forward. Having that beta branch would alleviate the pressure from the HARDCORE users from these forums and would create more constructive feedback. Everyone at present is guessing. If beta branch was available now for example, the players not on it would ask, “has it resolved this particular problem”. If so, they probably would jump on it as well. What is game breaking for one person isn’t for another and having that option of a beta branch would probably resolve quite a few users issues, instead of again waiting weeks after release for the major patch

Probably next year they will change the title from a ‘Football Simulation’ game to ‘Football Arcade’ game

1. It's a known issue that someone in the feedback thread pointed out 2. If memory serves me correct, the salary cap is an issue going back a couple of editions, due to it not being as flexible. Users complained of being promoted multiple times and the salary cap not being flexible 3. Might be one for the big forums to ask. As it's just 2 players, might be just a coincidence.

Alot of games offer beta for PC branch but not for consoles, which is understandable. Considering majority of the userbase who play FM are actually on PC, you'd think it wouldn't be an issue. It would be like companies banning game mods on PC for the reason the console owners cannot use them.

Post this in the bugs forum

Maybe worth posting this in the hugs forum. Unless a mod knows otherwise?

I think it's more of SI releasing a game with known issues, especially with regards to features, and not being open about it on release day. This is after the promise of more communication pre-release
