It already auto downloaded! Haven’t been able to sneak away and play yet, but thank you to the whole team for your work on it this year. Can’t wait to get stuck in.

Past midnight here and still waiting for android

All good so far. With the formation suggestions I assume that this will change depending on who head coach is but will it also depend on what type of players you have in your squad?

Also on 29 August 2020 game time I see a news story saying that Jack Grealish in my Villa squad has been called up to the Croatia Squad! Hmm... I thought. I checked the Croatia squad and he’s not in there because he’s actually in the England squad as one would expect.

There's no issue with it, it just takes a bit longer nowadays than it used to.

This has already been fixed internally.

Feel free to log the editing reserve tactics in the Feature Requests forum.

What device do you have? If it's a device that supports both grid and side menu, you can do this via the UI settings.

[Alari Naylor]

Google is showing as live for me here - let me know if you can see it now.

To use the 'side menu' your device has to be above a specific resolution (which isn't that hi-def, but it can't be say 800x480 etc.)

[Zoot]

Is it really not compatible accross devices like some say in review in google play store? Do i need to buy it again if i buy new phone?

[casperzwaart100]

My entire staff resigned when I arrived, I dont know if that is supposed to happen

[Hildor]

Love the fact that the badges now aren't just some circles with colours, there's diversity, don't even feel the need to go look for official badges like in previous versions. 

On another note there seems to have been some mix up with the team in the screenshot, it's just Vilaverdense FC, not sure where that "Lank" came from.

If you use the same Google account with a new phone, the game will be in your library on the play store

1. When assigning squad numbers, the numbers are impossible to read for Barcelona (have not tried any other teams)
2. Friendlies that are arranged during international breaks should be automatically canceled (or moved). Or you should be given the option to cancel them. No value playing a friendly when you don't have any players to play it.

You do have the option to cancel

First thing I’ve realised is the attendances for Papa Johns trophy against an under 23s side is ridiculously high.

Have you set him to man-mark?

[Curtneedsaride]

Is there a way to enter your actual age in the game setup? I’ve gone through it a few times, but haven’t seen it and end up being 50 years old when I take over at my selected club.

I think that is to make the game last 30 years without you either dying or retiring at 50

Guys where can i see clubs affiliates? I cant seem to find it anywhere?

on a clubs general info page 

[zakbrown96]

Normally play on iPad, thought I’d try it on the mobile and it’s very odd on the iPhone 12 pro 

[AndrewDriverNo1]

Is there a way to cancel a link with an affiliated club?

I just reopened my app and it worked

[mike_mib]

Please correct club badges! For example in the Portuguese league, the Sporting badge is completely wrong. It should be a lion, not swords.

 

 

[Zoot]

Found it thanks

Found it

[Amigooo]

Setting corners to short distribution has no effect for me

Player that comes short never gets the ball it always gets crossed into the box

[bamb00zle]

If I buy this for IOS and later switch to an Android phone, would I have to buy the game again?

Yes. Because you would be buying it from two different stores.

On the player profile select 'offer to clubs' and you'll find the affiliates as an option under transfer types.

Hi @Marc Vaughan 👋🏻Loving the game this year! Some very cool additions! Is there a reason staff pictures don’t show up again this year? They work fine on Touch so it’s not the files, every other pic works except staff ones, like last year and does that mean changes.txt won’t work again?

I'll look into the staff pictures as I believe they should be working.

Good Evening @Marc Vaughan

Thank you again for another great installment in this fantastic series. 

Now I'm a sad person and I used to edit where the managers would transfer to and all sorts. But I can't see to find the managers page (Hall Of Fame last year) because this year its like a play store hall of fame. Is there a way to find managers without jobs or the top 50 managers? 

Thanks again in advance 👍

Hi Marc,

First impressions, what a beautiful game - and the injury prevalence now seems to be absolutely spot on 👍🏼

My only concern is that my teams physical condition seems to deteriorate rapidly after match 2 ...instead of towards the back end of the season like in FM21, has this been altered?

I have played one season and finished 12th with Chelsea as my team was unable to compete (regardless of formation)

Managed to keep my job also??

Condition will be challenging to balance in the first season (players don't enter it quite as fit as they might normally and as in real-life the games fixture calendar is heavy) .. you'll find that you may have to rotate at times to avoid injuries ....  in real-life this is a challenge that managers are having to handle also, certain Liverpool managers have been fairly vocal about such things in recent weeks  

You should find that once reasons are more 'normal' in duration and schedule that will settle down.

Why would that be the case? What’s different about my profile saying 80 or 65 when the game tells me I can’t play that save anymore? I’d just feel more immersed being given the option to be the age I’d like to be instead of always being 50 when I start managing. Oh well, I’ll pretend it just doesn’t say 50 I guess.

maybe try out 41221 vertical tiki taka, worked fine for me. And for defense 41221 fluid counter attack, managed to beat Bayern Munchen in 2 games

We can only include official club badges where we hold a license for them I'm afraid.

We're looking to get a fix for this out ASAP but rebooting your device if you see this should work for now we believe.

What do the little stars by some of the names in the squad overview mean?
