In 10 years club first teams get noticeably older and probably weaker (speculatative)

It’s a problem I complain a lot in FM23 that I’ve expected to be solved this year. I didn’t test it so I cannot say any word.

 

Hope it is solved

Same issue as FM 23, I lost hope at this point. It was the main issue to solve, they did not manage to do it

Analysing the data, it’s far better than it was, to be fair

At this point, even after buying FM every years for almost 20 years, I hate to say this but I actually think FM is now becoming unreasonable purchase.

They make a lot of money because they release it every years like others sport games but you can expect the least improvement from FM. Imagine that some stupid mechanics that we used to encounter in FM2007 still exist in FM2024. (like fix date on players development)

I've heard that there will be a big game-engine change in FM2025 and I hope they're really serious on that. If not I think FM is dying soon. Just 1 opinion from someone who played every FM games since it's CM.

I agree that it's better than it was in 22 and 23, but still worse than before eg FM19 (kinda speculative, but I never noticed this issue in earlier versions so it's either wasn't there to a noticeable extent or I just never realised that it was).

Hello everybody, thank you for posting we appreciate the feedback. 

To answer some of your questions:

. We have identified an issue which is causing a lack of rotation with AI teams. We are looking to make changes/improvements to this in future updates.

. Another known issue we're investigating is the AI not using their substitutions enough during games.

. In terms of the AI making transfers, there will always be instances of new signings not playing or making the breakthrough at new clubs. It was not our intention to make the AI transfer market mistake free.

- If you have good examples of bad transfers or poor squad building, then we will need save games provided at the start of transfer windows, or just before bids for players are made, in order to fully investigate, thank you.

The changes we have made to AI Squad Building for FM24 cover some of these other aspects:

- A players form is considered more when the AI target a player for a transfer, so you might see a player from a less high profile league but in good form getting moves to bigger leagues
- AI managers targeting players based on their tactical style more. For example a Wing Play manager will look for pacy wide players and target men strikers, Control Possesion manager will look for Techinchal Central Defenders, Gegenpress manager will look for energetic midfielders etc
- Managers will now better identify gaps in their squad based off their style and look to make signings suited to their style to fill those gaps
- These tactical styles will also help to improve user and AI manger decisions when sending young players out on loan to better aid their development
- Some managers will now have more of a preference for PA in backup/rotation shortlist slots than in previous versions. Where CA would be preferred resulting in ageing players often being signed for backup/rotation slots.
- A review of how players reputation can increase/decrease based off of in match performances, meaning that players reputation can increase/decrease more naturally over the course of a save game
