I don't think it's a placebo, but a situation will be different for every player. For an one player, a situation will be different during different periods of a match or season/save.

Purple Bane Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) Should the continue game timeout really take you past the team asking to talk to you about something? Especially considering interactions are so broken and the game will happily stop processing for a week before deadline day meeting and the like? Also didn't there used to be a 'Concerns/Unhappiness' tab at the top of the squad screen to address this stuff after the fact? MIght have dreamt that tbf Odegaards complaining we only have a starting keeper, an experienced backup keeper, a young keeper and a further high potential young keeper arriving in a few months fwiw.

Blünderbossu Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Starting my King's Lynn save, I put out adverts for all the vacant staff positions (head physio, chief scout, head performance analyst, sports scientist, director of football, and also a couple of U19 roles). Received no external applicants for any of them via the job centre after leaving the advert running for a couple of months. The only people interested were staff already at my club in other roles who I believe were on non-contracts. They couldn't be offered a non-contract for their new role but both happily accepted a full-time contract of £1 per week. Offered their old positions back out to the job centre for a month so far, zero applicants for them either. One of my £1/week staff members was a Director of Football so next idea was to set him to try to hire staff in the staff responsibilities. He's not made a single offer to anyone, which I can't particularly hold against him given what we're paying him. Gone into the the staff search screen now and hit on what seems to be the issue - even the lowest world-reputation staff who come up on the 'interested staff' filter want double the wages that I can offer for any given role. Not above any of my budgets so wages aren't being capped for that. Board won't accept raising any of the job budgets. Therefore can't hire any scouts and am relying on my £1/week Director of Football with judging ability of 3 to scout one player a week. Probably not working as intended - guessing the staff wage limits are scaled as if the team is part-time and so they're not set at a level anybody is close to willing to accept for a full-time role. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintsCanada Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 In general, I feel the game is too frenetic. I kind of like getting through a lot of games quickly. But with the combination of huge number of goals being scored (which means I have to manage matches way more actively), injuries, and players being upset about 'lack of depth' in particular positions, I am taking hours to get through each match.

If the game could just drink a bit less caffeine and calm down a bit, it would be even better than it already is. In my save the goals scored seem to be right on the money. Last year away teams struggled mightily to score. Home games were easy, away games was about grinding it out. It feels like this year to me you have to think about where the opposition is attacking from and make sure you have sufficient cover across all five lateral zones regardless. Home teams still have a slight boost obviously but I haven't felt a wide discrepancy between home and away performances. My only major gripe is that set piece marking could be represented better. I do feel like there's too many goals from throw ins but that's anecdotal. There's a ton of variety in the way my team scores visually. The new deflection/ball physics really makes it feel more realistic especially if your keeper gets wrong footed or your striker misses a sitter. I hope they don't change much other than maybe little tweaks. Occasionally I feel like players take too heavy a touch but that's not unrealistic.

Popular Post Double0Seven Posted October 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) It is confirmed by SI that it is now an issue. Again, completely unacceptable in my opinion that these "bugs" are the same every year. Every year we go through the same cycle. Issue from last year still persists > SI acknowledges it > problem does not get fixed before full release > still charge people full price for a game they know is bugged in some perspective for years > people like me give feedback and get completely ignored. Fix this before release AND really fix it so we dont end up having this discussion again. Only then I might consider buying the game. Otherwise I will once again skip another year. We should not accept paying full price for problems that plague the game for years yet every year the same "promises" are made and it isn't fixed at all. I rather hear honestly "hey we cant fix it this year" than promising it will be fixed. Because Ive heard these promises before. You cannot advertise a feature that's "new", doesn't seem to work and then promise to fix it in future updates. I dont like how the gaming industry is moving, because this seems to be the standard. Were paying full price for games with features that dont work with broken promises. Like FIFA... and we all know how they went down that road with no competition.

Sideshow Robbie Earle Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Can anyone with a save a few seasons in check whether call-ups of NewGens / young players to national squads seem deserved? For England at least I'm seeing quite a few Theo Walcott-style caps, where the player has got very little experience, maybe been on loan and performed average at a Championship side for a season, but gets called up anyway. Sometimes tallies with the "wonderkid" tag, and having a second nationality - thinking that when selecting the sim is putting too much emphasis on that and PA, than CA. I'm not seeing it as much with other countries, although they don't seem to be calling up many young players / newgens at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post janrzm Posted October 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2023 Couple of things. Firstly, I've noticed how active the SI guys have been in this thread responding to queries and potential issues this time round, personally I appreciate that a lot. Makes a huge and positive difference, especially given the proximity to the actual release. There's been quite a bit of talk about AI transfers, squad building and player development in this thread. I've seen responses from SI staff requesting info/data where people have made a specific claim about this Headline Feature not being improved or as much improved as they'd hoped. Just to turn this around if I can do @Kyle Brown have examples you can post here that show these features have worked well in development to the extent you were able to put them forward as headline changes? Cheers. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Double0Seven Posted October 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2023 https://www.reddit.com/r/footballmanagergames/s/wrRZvSBalF Once again, another issue that has persisted for years and does not seem to be actually fixed despite being promised to. If years of reports can't fix it, I don't have faith it will be fixed by next week. I find it more worrying that SI is willingly advertising AI being smarter to sell more copies. Yet the only way you can find it's not fixed is by browsing the dedicated forums with promises that it will be fixed. Not everyone will do this. Your average Joe will not. As someone who was nearing 2 decades of playing this game, im increasingly disenchanted by this way of selling the game. Be honest, don't sell features that don't work. Do not become fifa where broken promises and features are made because they know customers cannot buy an alternative. Please. I never expected to go down this route, but it's becoming more and more scummy. I'm usually not that harsh, but after years of seeing the same issues it's getting hard to stay positive. 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcobell14 Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 I saw someone post a few days ago in the thread asking if there was any game-changing bugs that have been identified. Is there any further consensus on this? I'd like to continue the save started in Beta if possible. Been following this thread closely and haven't seen anything that suggests a major issue. As far as I'm aware some of the common stuff I'm seeing raised like AI transfers, high scoring games, set pieces, interactions can all be factored in to an already started save. Though I might be wrong here. I'd always heard it was if there was anything database related where it's a problem, though I'm not actually sure what sort of stuff would fall under this.

Dadecane Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Something that happened to me yesterday that ive never seen; my opponent scored a screamer from outside the box on me. But it was called off; as a teammate of his who was offside was “blocking my gk’s view” said the commentator, therefore it was called offside. Im playing in primera federacion so theres no VAR, the officiating crew made the call themselves.

damjanovski Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Hello everyone, As a player that has played every FM game since 2003-2004 CM, i have the experience to say somethig about this edition. First I want to note that although not every previous edition was good, and some of them I played very rarely despite I bought each one of them. I wanted to support the developers because no such a game exist. Before I write about FM 24, I want to note that for me the most important thing about any FM game is the ME. Every other thing is addition to the ME and it should translate in the ME. So, I thought to write longer review about this year wdition of the game, but I will be short and say this: This is the best ME ever!!! Just to add, not in years, but ever! I realy enjoy the game. Thank you for the developers. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an update to this for anyone else struggling with something similar there is one kind-of workaround for now. The excessively low wage cap for my staff doesn't apply when hiring someone who is also registered as a player. So after manually searching through all the oldest players in the player search screen I found there was one 37 year old willing to be player/chief scout on emergency backup playing time. He'll probably retire from playing at the end of the season though, at which time I imagine he'll leave. His player/staff wage is £450 and I guess he's going to be no keener than anybody else to accept the maximum offerable wage for Chief Scout (£200) when I try to extend after he retires...
