FM24 Early Access Official Feedback Thread

[pamf]

Is there a way to take the set piece preference tool multiple times? or start it over once it is finished?

[Smallen]

enjoyed this goal. Look at Schar when he gets the ball. Has a quick glance over his shoulder before doing a sweet little Cuyff turn and passing it to the player he glanced at!

I'm on the Steam Deck and when I try to upload my FM23 save game into FM24 it doesn't recognise any FM23 folders.

Do I need to look in a specific place? Or is this a known bug?

Try going to the desktop mode and putting the save in FM24 folder

I've never seen a player look around like that in FM before, that's really nice. 

[Colonel Tigh]

Started a save as Man Utd and I’m losing a lot. My initial thoughts is that it’s most realistic FM yet 

[HighFlyingDwarf]

Loaded my FM23 game. Everything looks as it was in FM23 from a data standpoint, which is perfect. I see all my old regens ported over (and the graphics on the faces whilst not perfect are improved)

One disappointing thing is that I can't seem to add Japan as a playable league. Other than that, it all seems fine so far.

Just wanna report in that IFB (Defend) works INCREDIBLY well. I made the below tactic to fully test the role:

 

 

This is how it looks in attack:

 

19, 18 and 6 are my three CB Libs supporting the attack. The two tucked in, holding the fort - the two IFBs. Their positional play is fantastic. I've won three on the trot now using this. Such a great role.

This was exactly what I was in the middle of doing, thanks. Just booting it back into Steam Gaming mode to see if it works.

[Dagenham_Dave]

The game does zip along at a good pace, ported my FM23 save in, where I am 10 years in with loads of leagues loaded and its running faster than it did on Fm23. Good work. 

[priority76]

Is the option to change attribute colours gone? I can't seem to see it anywhere,

[GOODNAME]

Go to preferences and you will see it on the right

Sucks that this is expected behaviour. Oh well.

Gibraltar neither. 

[Shambolic]

This could be just be pure bad luck, but I've had 2 keepers break their arm in pre-season. 

[pedrosantos]

The only lower note goes to the new set pieces setup. A bit confusing although being a new tool it requires to be properly explored.

Not sure if it is an issue / bug but as for offensive corners I cannot select the players I want to take the corner.

Well, I guess that's the trade off for still having the right players at your club. The feature was designed a certain way, and it works as expected. Fire in a request in the feature request thread if you want to see it done another way. 

I'm giving my feedback on a feature in an official feedback topic - why are you being such a gatekeeper?

You can have a different "Location" in the preferences... and all data is moved/saved there, including "graphics" folder.
I've set up another separate folder with all my graphics - faces, kits, logos etc. and instead of moving this folder with every installment I've created a symbolic link for the "graphics" folder to point to this separate folder.

Right, indeed, I just had to restart the game and it works.

[Johnny Ace]

For the first time in forever, you need a sub keeper!

[rich10]

And it worked, thank you @DarJ.

It's a relative minor fix, but I'm enjoying no blurry text on screen when I move my mouse around whilst the Deck is docked.

Was it intentional that Defensive Shape, Teamwork and Attacking Movement have been removed as sessions in training??

Well, you'll need to transfer the save over first, because when you delete FM23, the save game files are also deleted. 

Yea I thought that, but I was then wondering if I still needed FM23 installed to play the save.

I'll transfer over & then uninstall FM24

Absolutely loving the match engine so far the movement of players and the bounce of the ball is absolutely fantastic this year.

I never thought I'd say the bounce of a ball makes such a huge difference to how the matches feel.

Feels far more like real football.

Looks so much more slick, a great job they've done on that.

Twice now I've given you advice on how to further address your concerns. Take it or leave it. It's a public forum, people will respond. Is this your first day on the internet?

[HighFlyingDwarf]

Squad depth gone again. Sacrilege.

[kiingallen]

I thought I saw player condition next to their names in matches in one of the feature reveals. Is this possible or was I seeing things?

[XaW]

@BJG123 / @Dagenham_Dave - We get both your views, let's cut that part now, and rather keep it to feedback on the game. Bugs should go to the bug tracker, wishes for changes or new features should go into the feature request section.

[HighFlyingDwarf]

UI is incredibly responsive. A real plus point here in first impressions. Using FM23's UI feels laboured by comparison.

[Tikka Mezzala]

Are all of the Japanese clubs supposed to be licensed and have the correct logos? 

[Smallen]

 

Another really fun goal with some cool new animations. Really liked Anderson's first touch and the directness of Murphy as the winger (attack), who you can now give the cuts inside instruction to!

Really enjoying positional play as well with the inverted full back playing exactly as I'd expect. For once my box to box midfielder feels genuinely box-to-box too!

[The Amazing Dale Watkins]

Some feedback to hopefully address in FM25: I wish we could get away from the strictly binary gender system for managers. Why don't you simply provide a variety of body types (from masculine to feminine and anything in between) and pronouns and let people pick what they like? It would also make it easier to find any hairstyle you want (why is that gendered in the first place?).

I think that would be a much more welcome addition than face paint.

[SmurfDude]

Managed to get rid of Mctominay, Maguire, and Donny van Beek. Living the dream here 

[odigweg]

That's it! I'm not sitting at this office desk any longer.

Y'all could have just reined in all the praise till I got home from work...but noooo you just had to rub it in. 

I won't sit idly by any longer. Calling an Uber home. "Boss, I'm feeling a little under the weather...". 

[BJG123]

Haven't even gotten to a match yet, but really liking the game - UI has made improvements, I think it had regressed the last couple of versions so I think it's great to see such strides forward. Really liking the way transfers work as well,  bit more involved to get rid of deadwood and feels more realistic. 

Quite fun to have a Suadi club swoop in for someone

[rdbayly]

Started unemployed and took over a side bottom of the Brazilian second division with a captain called Elvis. Yes, it was the main reason I applied.

I noticed that de Bruyne is not injured at Man City? is this a mistake?

Worth doing a bug report for this @rich10 if you haven’t already 

[Russell10]

Probably not feedback but would really love to see more leagues added.

 

excellent work with the J league , just thinking missing a trick with holland only having 2 leagues and not adding more to the english pyramid.

[jlammi]

hi! my game freezes when going to match, prossesing. only way is going holiday mode, hope this getting fixed

I'd absolutely love this as a trans person. It would probably be pretty hard to add in pronouns other than He/Him or She/Her though because of the number of languages the game has to be translated in to, and the fact that a lot of them have changes to many, many words depending on the gender of the person refered to. I remember back in the day SI saying how it had been surprisingly difficult to do this back when they added female managers for the first time, and I expect it'd be the same again for minimal reward. One approach taken in The Sims 4 is to allow full pronoun customisation, but only when playing in English.

Just had a goaly up for a corner against me, very impressed

Hi @jlammi Can you please add this to the crashes and performance issues in the early access bugs forum. More reports SI get the easier it is to work out the issue and get a fix done. 

[HighFlyingDwarf]

Intra Squad friendlies are now treated separately from normal friendlies and you can manage both sides including selecting the specific squads. Interesting...

It's always been like that, has it not?

May have been added last year? I only ever had the one I think. It definitely hasn't always been like that though.

I am deeply impressed with the ME, it's BY FAR the best I've ever seen (and I am one of those who think FM23's one was such a good one).

[SwanseaGreg]

The game so far is such an improvement on last year. The UI is more responsive, looks better. I thought last years made the game feel a bit empty and arcade like; now it’s more serious and sim like. The game has so much more depth in all departments which makes it much more immersive. The match engine is fantastic, we’ll done.
