Greetings all,
I've had a short break from FM, now i'm back after the final update, i'll review this with fresh eyes and see where we are and whether some tweaks are needed.
Thanks for the continued feedback.

Hopefully it will come for Project Xcloud or goes on GEforce now.
Given up on Stadia.
Dont want a big PC, or a laptop.
Only other option for me is something like a deskmini with a Ryzen APU. Will wait to see how the 5600g/5700g review. They will crush the processing and still offer the 3d match engine at medium settings with their on board graphics. Could be a great option for me.

I suspect the problem lies more with Stadia than SI.
Same issues with Madden & FIFA. Radio silence.
SI could be contractually bound to stay silent.
Whilst STADIA is technically good, they seem to be hamstrung by the fact that considerable development work is required for a game to work on Stadia (unlike GEForce now), this is compounded by atrocious communications.
I suspect its coming, and coming soon. Time will tell.

I've seen the loan player out promise hard coded into a contract offer many times. In fact every time it appears it cannot be removed in my save.
Invariably i try to loan him out and there are no takers and he will come to me later and call me liar to my face, in the absence of the ability to punch him in the face, i was immediately giving them a free transfer, can't be dealing with cocky teenagers.
However, i've since learn't that as long as you offer them out 4 or 5 times each window they acknowledge you've been trying and don't kick off.

Lots of examples of players who look like great prospects when young but never push on.
Robinho was labelled the next Pele, David Bentley, Phil Jones even Grant Hanley to name a few off the top of my head.
In FM terms, these would be players who were fully formed by 18 years old, hitting their PA cap early with people understandably thinking if they are that good at that young age they will be great by there mid twenties.
The exception being Robinho, who in FM terms would have a high PA, but a low ambition stat meaning he would be unlikely to get there.
Static PA makes sense to me.

Stress and then the subsequent release of stress through achievement 'in game' is a key hook in ultimately enjoying gaming.
In FM, thinking about my long term objectives keeps me on an even keel. 5 seasons from now my current losing streak will be meaningless.
There are limits however, I no longer play demanding 'twitch' based games (Sekiro), as that stress is both mental and physical (heart rate, adrenaline etc) which i find inappropriate for what is supposed to be a pleasurable past time.
FM and anything 'turn based' is where i'm at.

I've been getting a lot of unambitious personalitys and despite continual mentoring havent been able to change any of them to a different personality yet.
Having said that, if you persist in giving them a lot of game time they can still develop 10-15 points a season.

Are you still using the same training techniques you created a few years back or have you updated them? I think it was FM19 you made them and I still use them myself but if you have better would be interested.
I've used the tactic in Scotland with Albion Rovers and got them up to the Championship in 3 years with back to back league wins.
I have new training schedules, looks like i'll be on furlough so will have time to put them up over the next day or 2.

Actually turned out to be a better season that early form predicted. I didn't finish the season with the league's worst disciplinary record! Only received 103 yellows and 3 reds this season, so we are getting better.
Considering we are scoring the most and conceding the least in the league, I think I can just about accept this. From what I've seen, they are often a result of the urgent press dragging players out of position and then making slightly rash challenges to recover ground or break up attacks. Considering we are regularly one of the worst for ball possession, it is to be expected somewhat.
We made the most successful tackles with 1023, however conceded 807 fouls and only had a tackle success rate of 78%, which was one of the worst in the division.
With our promotion to the Championship now, I will hopefully be able to attract more well-rounded players, and thus reduce the number of fouls and poor tackles.
Thanks for the update.
I’m now 26 games into my League 1 campaign, no Red Cards so far, but of course lots of fouls & yellows as we are breaking up play.
I’m in danger of getting promoted to the Championship, as I’m playing an Academy Challenge I know I won’t be ready to stay up in the Championship for another couple of seasons at least, and that is with my next 2 youth intakes being good. Tempted to sabotage my season to ensure we don’t go up, but that would be against the spirit of the game so I’ll do my best to get up and live with the consequences which runs the risk of me getting sacked when we come back down again, on the plus side we’ll bank £5 million TV money and my players will get a season of Championship Football which will accelerate their progress toward their maximum ability.
I have a feeling we’ll fail in the play offs this year, but go up next which is still a bit early but we’ll have a chance.
In terms of the ill discipline, ‘get stuck in’ is the same as any other team instructions, to employ it the upside has to be bigger than the downside, a plus expected value situation (+EV) in gambling terms. The idea is to find all the team instructions with a +EV, use them all and all those ‘little wins’ add up to give you an edge.
If you feel its not worth it, you could drop it off without too much of a downside.

I'm getting very inconsistent results with this. It started out working magic. I think we had 7 wins in 8 games with a Middlesbrough who should be fighting for promotion in the Championship. But since then I've only won 6 in 15 games and we are now looking more like a mid-table team. I will keep at it since I took over Middlesbrough in the middle of the season and have only had a January transfer window. But the players I have should be good enough for play-offs.
Any suggestions?
It would normally need a preseason to bed in the tactic, but you started well so that can't be the issue.
Beyond that, it's about keeping morale high when you're winning without drifting into complacency.
Stick with it, it should come good in the end.

It's not an anomaly. The first year intake looks great because the star ratings are compared to your team. As your team gets better the star ratings of the youth players goes down even if the players are just as good.
I wasn't referring to star ratings, just raw PA (potential ability). This is an absolute number and has nothing to do with the quality of your team.

I pretty much do exclusive Youth Academy challenges and have done for years so I have some experience of this.
In nearly all saves I get the year 1, stellar intake, with no investment in facilities anomaly. Always struck me as odd. In my FM21 save i didn't (and I was pleased) .
The biggest influence on the quality of the youth intake, in my opinion, is simply the Division you are in. This is obviously tied to many things, not least reputation and NATION RATING. This year i've had back to back promotions from the National League to League 1, with no investment in facilities or coaching my League 1 intake is just far better. This is very noticeable when you are moving up the Leagues, I notice when I hit the Premier League i was initially looking for 160+ PA players in the Youth Intake and was always disappointed with the myriad of 130/140 PA players I would get. I soon learnt that attribute distribution in relation to role was far more important than raw PA and that a 140 PA player developed to specialise in his role could be a dominant Premier League player.
But I think the biggest factor to appreciate is it's a massive lottery every year. I've have had a 187 PA player come in my League 2 intake and gone 5 years in the Premier League with maxed out facilities and got no-one above 150 PA. This is all part of the fun and how it should be. If it's a lottery, I view upgrading youth facilities, junior coaching, youth recruitment, maxing out facilities, improving reputation etc as simply buying more tickets, but it does not guarantee a big win. Not doing this also doesn't guarantee you WON'T win big.
If being the most reputable team in the Premier League with the best facilities meant you had a production line of the next Messi's & Ronaldo's the game would be boring. At the moment, they might well show up at Barnsley, which when you think about it, is great.

Anyone in the DM position doesn't stand a chance.
6.1, 6.2 ratings routinely. Getting no credit for tackles and headers.
Disappointing, needs a hot fix as a priority.

Finding that discipline is a big concern since the last patch. While being top of the table, we have just set the unenviable record of worst discipline in League 2 with 98 yellows and 6 red - and that's with 10 games to go!
It scores loads, and doesn't concede that many, but the league fines for not controlling the players are really starting to hurt. The midfield duo seem to be worst offenders with 12/13 yellow each for the 1st team starters. I think tackling might need to be a key attribute to try stop these bad tackle.
Not seeing that.
Do your midfielders have high aggression?

Post patch I would say the game has become slightly more difficult.
I've now been on the end of some horrific comebacks, lost some 3 goal leads on the back of Half Time AI team talks which results in them becoming an unstoppable force in the 2nd half which no amount of tactical tweaking can seem to stop.
However,
The game could easily be made a nightmare, so careful what we wish for i guess, 4 simple steps below could result in a much more difficult game.
- Make the finances much more restrictive (realistic), lower wage budget, transfer budget etc. Lower amount of player sales going into transfer budgets etc. Owners/Shareholders taking loads of cash out of clubs.
- Much more aggressive transfer market, lots of competition for quality players, Elite players only considering a handful of clubs, if you're not one of them, forget it. Make improving your squad a difficult and challenging process, its too easy now, we know who's good and can just go and buy them.
- Replace the attribute numbers with ranges so we don't know EXACTLY how determined someone is or how good a passer they are, 1-6 = Red, 7 - 11 = Yellow, 12 - 16 = Blue, 17 - 20 Green. Or something like that.
- Get nasty with AI tactics. Imagine a game when AI managers are using Knaps tactics? Perhaps not that extreme but there is huge scope to up the ante on AI tactics, they should all be tested and need to hit a performance baseline before they are allowed in the game for use of AI manager.
All of this is easily achievable, but might turn off the casuals.

Anyone else noticed people inside the box who shoot at the goal most of the time hit a defender? or just straight to the goalkeeper? Or when a striker as a clear cut-chance aka standing free they head instead of taking the ball on the chest and then shoot.
Sounds like Christian Benteke.

I’m seeing far too many people winning the league with Arsenal in season 1. Bit off.
That's what happens when a proper manager takes charge, rather than the fella who used to put the cones in and out for Pep

Yeah, it doesn't really work on the new patch.
Working on an update, nearly there, just a few more things I want to try.

Rather than clamouring for the 'click to win' Beta ME, people should be more concerned with the potentially game breaking Newgen Bug, right under everyone's noses.

Tactics question for mr Rosler:
So, I've been using your tactic to great effect early in the season. Only now we've hit a slump. Four straight losses. I'm still very much a FM noob. Any particular suggestions for righting the ship? Or things to look at to figure out how to right the ship?
Are you on FM21? (this was for FM20)
Tactics aside, its about managing morale once you are in a slump, getting that 1st win will be enough to set you back on your way usually.
I just back right off, go for low pressure team talks, 'we're underdogs, nobody expects a result, go and play without pressure' etc. the exception being when you have a winnable home game when i revert to 'its time to turn around our slump'.
If the games are coming thick and fast, make sure you keep rotating 1 or 2 players as they will get fatigued.
If you call or get called to a team meeting, go for 'i know things haven't been going our way, but we have enough talent to turn things around etc, etc'
Just have to ride out that storm!

In a similar boat.
I don't have the patience to wait for my laptop to churn between games, not buying a gaming laptop, they are overpriced junk.
Stadia would be the ideal option.
Geforce now would be good.
I would even subscribe to Shadow Tech but they have a 6 month waiting list.
I was hoping to never buy another console or PC and hop aboard the streaming train, but it's very fragmented with no one service offering enough by itself.

So, dumb question, since I'm trying this and I'm a relative newbie at FM. To what extent, if any, do you pay attention to your assistant manager's insistence that you do other things during tactical meetings? Do you pretty much ignore them (at least until you see how the game is developing)?
Ignore him 100%, 100% of the time.
