I reported something in the bug-tracker over the weekend. Feels like an utter waste of time at this moment.

Anybody home?

Anyone else getting a minor half second stutter every now and again in the match engine? Not (yet) ready to submit a support ticket, just inquiring if it's a common issue or just one I've got.

What would help - ENORMOUSLY - is if you guys would publish a proposed list of settings for the AMD Radeon Adrenaline Edition for the 7900XT card which is what I'm using with the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X. That might do the job.

Done everything in that article and STILL having the same issues.

Absolutely agree. It would be nuts to leave anything but a negative review. Too many companies do this stuff year in year out.

Hmmm checking this out now. Hey, if there's a mistake like that in the game WTF have SI been doing for two weeks? That would have been reported in the first couple of days. How the Hell has that slipped through into the full game?

What is this "AI not using subs" thing? Am I missing something? The AI is always subbing players in my save.

Early impressions, and I write this as someone who has been PLAGUED by match-engine issues in recent years ... The new engine if fantastic. No issues at all with it. Best one I've seen in a long time which sort of now makes me nervous for next year's iteration, because this is finally one that plays like a dream and I am really loving it although there's a sort of haziness to it at times as if you're watching bits of it through light fog. Might be the way it's meant to look - I'm usually playing in the UK so there's usually always rain haha. The lighting effects need a little work; sometimes the pattern of the pitches makes it seem like there are shadows on it but they're not. Other than that, and those are minor compared to stuttering which is non-existent, I absolutely love it. One thing I'd like the devs to confirm; when starting the game the default databases are loading more players than ever, right? Cause my standard setup from FM2023 gets me three and half stars out of five which is comfortable to play with, but here exact same setup is loading more than 56,000 players and is getting me three stars. That's a major change, and people should be aware of it, those playing on lower specs.

And I see no heed whatsoever has been paid to the idea about letting us choose the goddamned strips teams wear. So another year of having to endure naff away strip choices in the SPL. Followed by another year ... another year .... another year ... this game really needs a competitor. Maybe it will shake it out of its stupor.

I sometimes think that the "Scottish researchers" get their information from The Daily Record. Anyone who has watched Ryan Kent and Liel Abada knows who the better footballer is, although some might not want to acknowledge the fact. I have never seen, and doubt I will ever see, a more hyped player than Kent for the rest of my life. He's out of contract in three months. Know who wanted him? Burnley. He's not rated south of the border where even mediocre players are paid fortunes. So I am consistently baffled as to how highly he's rated by certain people. Blind people maybe.

I'm just not buying it next year. There is no game out there more in need of the emergence of a great rival. This is what happens when you don't have competition, just like in football. Arrogance. Entitlement. Complacency.

What's worse, for me, is that the company is breaking up the threads where we're able to discuss this, compare notes and propose solutions to each other. Bad enough that they don't seem to have answers themselves; they don't seem to want us being able to collectively work on the issue in our own spare time, looking for optimal settings which work. The decision to break up the threads is utterly ridiculous. Those threads are where I found the answers these past couple of years; it certainly wasn't from anything that the company did.
