Who am I? I'm the guy who spends money on Football Manager every year, and my opinion counts for nothing? Brilliant, just brilliant

More disallowed goals than scored ones.

Hello. Is it possible to DM you? I'd like to ask some questions if that is alright.

Hello. Just gonna ask few simple questions here. Please to move this thread where it belongs, but I feel this is a logical place for it. So my few questions are: - Have you read any feedback from "Football Manager 2024 Official Feedback Thread" thread? The lack of 'developers' and 'key people' ( sorry mods, but most of you have nothing to do with the game design and you rarely count for anything ) who are there is, honestly, disturbing for me. There's 4.5k comments there, how many of them are positive? - Have you read your Steam reviews, or you going simply by "Very positive" is good enough? Like, people are using it to troll. This is a picture of a first page of steam reviews. All 'recommended', but is it really? As someone who fell in love with the game in 2009, I feel this is the most inconsistent version of Football Manager franchise ( I won't even call it a new game, because it is not. You stopped with the new games long time ago, all you do now is 'reskin' ) and I feel generally scared what Football Manager might look like not in the distant future, but next year. - How is it possible that some the most important functions ( like recruitment focus ) are so bad? You can have best staff in the world, but it does not matter. Last year I did some experimenting with some basic attributes like 'consistency' and 'important matches', and I came to a conclusion that they don't matter and that was pretty consistent in my testing. Penalty taking, free kick taking, corner taking.. do they even matter in FM24? What does leadership do? Does your team play better when your captain has great 'leadership'? Or is it simply their only duty to complain at you when a) you ask them to do something b) be an ambassador for the dumbest thing I've ever seen in Football Manager, like your top division team plays against almost amateurs, get a scrappy wins on penalties and then you say " we need to do better against better teams " they get mad and say "cmon, this is a 21st century, you can't talk like that" ( I kid you not). Like, seriously, I can type and type and type. Just go to the General Feedback thread and try to address some of the issues, if you even care about your game anymore.

Around March.

How's this not offside? Like, bloody hell game. Also, how broken and useless are set pieces? You're not even allowed to put the player you want to do what you want. So I have here Levi Colwill, who, for whatever reason, is on 'stay back' even though he's a centreback. Alright, lets change it, but there's no option to do so, why? So here we have areial threats, and Colwill is 5th total, 4th among starters. Why is Garnacho set to "go forward" by default? Lets swap them. Colwill is d2, as shown here: Lets drag him to "box threats". After that, he's switched to "creators", completely ignoring what I did. Even if I did somehow screwed it up, how complicated can this be? Like it's end of December, this is a new function? Did no one even test this? How greedy do you need to be, adding 'new' stuff no one wants, completely ignoring core of the game, core that is rotten by now, and you still have the nerves to charge 40-50 bucks every year for a sidegraded product? I know some stuff the others don't, but at least if you're not going to make a new game, charge reskinning accordingly. Call your game Football Manager "X" or whatever, and charge for DLC's after that. Release new game when you have something to release, not bad additions like this that make no sense. I've been alfa/beta tester over 10 years ago, and stuff have never been this bad. You even have 'early access' where you give yourself some tome to iron some bugs, and you still fail. You're failing your fanbase.

You gave up on FMB? Speaking of, was preping for my next game with United, and I saw bunch of my players are "unhappy" and they are supporting Marcus Rashford. Alright, fair enough, but why? I clicked on the tooltip and it showed he was unhappy because United are looking there ain't enough quality in GK position, even though my goalkeeper won GK of the Year award. But the worst thing is - I didn't get any popup/message about his concerns. I didn't even have a chance to change his mind I checked messages 3 times and there's no notice. Loaded save that is saved 3 days before "today" and everything is normal. Oh, and players telling you about being unhappy about their playing time at the beginning of the August. Like.. that is not normal, is it?

Anyone else noticed really low penalty numbers? I'm on my 3rd save and I don't remember having more than 3 pens per season.

I'd argue that it needs to be higher.

So I'm messing around in one save and I'm playing one of the top teams and I see this player ( who I won't name yet ) and I go to check his injury history and his injury proneness What do you think his injury proneness is?

No idea how to edit OP, so I'll write it here as a comment. Issue was in the file type. FM24 uses .fmf files, and those above weren't. Except for the one I made. However I managed to fix the problem by deleting the 'editor data' folder and then opening the editor and creating a new file and after that I had a new 'editor data' folder and now FM recognize it.

Not really, it's their way of saying "we don't want you to overspend". It might be a bug, but I highly doubt.

Doesn't necessarily mean it's broken, it might be your board restricting how much wage you can offer,

Can't see edit option, so I'll post the screenshot here:
