which is good for those who don't want to spend time on training, media etc.. me being one of them.

like i said on another thread. i have no issue with a player coming and complaining about wages, that happens. but its totally unrealistic that half a dozen players or more would be banging on your door over and over about someone elses contract. that's what agents are for. the game has got it badly wrong. it should be the agents making threats not other squad members.

can we please remove the players ganging up on manager about another player not getting a contract renewal. i'm sorry, but this not happen in real life. if its the agent, fine, but a dressing room of players unhappy because joe bloggs isn't getting a new deal despite the team flying and him having a few years left on his current one; not to mention the club not being able to meet his ridiculous demands is just stupid.

of course and i've seen that quoted a lot on here this week. yes it does happen, but not all the time. i hardly ever see a 0-0 now on FM or get a clean sheet myself despite trying to see games out to get some and see game weeks like the above as the norm, which it isn't. just my observations and i've given it a few seasons and a fair crack to see proper trends. i think i'm going back to 23', because imo the game just isn't a big enough improvement infact its gone backwards imo. the last patch in 23' is far more polished than this game as it stands, definitely holding off on buying 25' that is destined to be riddled with problems from the start. you live and learn

I honestly don't really see the high scores tamed in this update. So many 6-7-8 goal matches with 4-3, 3-2, 5-1, 6-1 on a regular basis.

you can enter it yourself, get the manager id and add your picture the usual way in the picture pack entering in the config file. takes about a minute or two. Bit annoying i agree but easy enough to sort.

this needs sorting, why remove that option?

either way its far from being a very polished version as advertised. i'm pretty damn mad that i feel (personal opinion) i can't start a full on save, almost 2 weeks after release, and they still haven't patched obvious flaws from the beta.

i'll let you know after the patch. it has potential to be really good, but too much bothering me at the minute to start a full on save.

i have bought the new game but aren't planning on moving over till full release. when i do i'll be carrying over my long term save from 23. what have people's experiences been of keeping the same tactics with this new match engine? i have a good one at the minute and hoping it will continue to get results on the new version.

My keeper has gone from being good and solid for many seasons to an absolute clown since the update, drops a clanger a game.

why is it saying i need 4.2gb of disk space for the update? surely not right

If anything too many remain top class player to mid/late 30's now although this is better than most players being done at 32 like it used to be.

its much better now imo, top players are far better conditioned these days and can keep playing and maintaining a high physical level until their mid 30's on a regular basis.maybe it could be tweaked down a touch but its far better than before when most players were physically finished in their early 30's.

its not just pace its acceleration that has a big part to play. I'm not sure there is a great deal of difference between Walker and Mbappe in pure overall speed terms but Mbappe has a clear edge in the acceleration stakes as seen last night when for a brief second he stood him up and blasted away from him

is there any way of not having the game automatically accepting the club offering you a new contract whilst you are in holiday mode? can't understand why it isn't one of the tick box options in there when you are selecting to holiday.

Sad to see the new patch seems to have killed the ability to shut games down and reverted to a low block being a green light to getting ripped to shreds. Pre patch there is only one time i recall blowing a lead when i shut up shop with a bit of the game left, usually worked a treat as it should more often than not. tried it twice post patch, first time 2-1 up at home with 20 minutes to go, they get 3 big chances and take one 2-2. second time 3-1 up away with 15 minutes to go, switch to shut down and draw 3-3 as they cut through me at will.

played half a dozen games since the patch and not seen a basic ball over the top goal or a silly caught in possession under zero pressure effort either. early days but great to see, it was annoying the hell out of me

i'm sick of being done by a simple ball over centre backs who just stand there and watch whilst it floats over their heads and don't even make an attempt to head it. sometimes can happen twice a game and cost me, even with a deeper line when i'm trying to close the game out. How did this slip through testing?
