Unfortunately, it is essential if you play MLS. AI Roster management is still a mess when it comes to retaining youth. B/II teams will be filled with grey players, and players from the team's academy will be released into the lower leagues. There is literally no bridge between the academy and to reserve... Oh, and don't forget about the drafted prospects or the players that actually get signed from the academy. If they aren't good enough for the first team, they are released instead of moved to the B/II team... PS. Don't bother asking me to post in the bug forum. I've been raising this issue for almost 10 years, and half of those were on the beta team...

There's no cover in the midfield CMs should be DMs

He literally said it's probably the worst FM he's seen, and you said it was a stretch...

To be fair, all of the complaints made by the user have already been expressed by others in the feedback thread. While I may not necessarily agree with everything that has been said, it is important to acknowledge that everyone's opinion matters and it is not appropriate to dictate how someone should feel about the game based on your own personal experience. However, it would have been more appropriate for the user to share their thoughts in the feedback thread rather than creating a separate post.

When you purchase the editor, you can set all of your player's attributes to 1.

I believe attributes should have a significant impact on the game. Currently, some aspects of the game are too focused on the meta-game, and players may inadvertently use meta strategies that they are unaware of. This detracts from the overall gameplay experience. I also wonder if players actually follow through with the 5-year plans. In my experience, I have been able to achieve all the objectives of a 5-year plan within 1-2 seasons, unless I intentionally give myself a handicap.

I enjoy it. It adds context and immersion to a glorified spreadsheet. Besides as a LLM who don’t exploit the scouting, you get players recommended to you by random fans and news sites that you otherwise would probably never shortlist. Besides, it is easily enough to ignore and I’m sure it adds nothing to processing speed.

In my LLM save imported from FM 23, my center back went from 66% in FM23 to 86% passing in FM24. and no, it wasn't from clearances/hoof ball because we ranked one of the poorest in the league from clearing the ball, as that wasn't a part of our tactic.

I agree. I noticed that this problem is more apparent with leagues on full detail sims

Yes, I think there is a trickle-down effect. The lack of substitutes might also impact goals as players may have poor conditioning late in the game and going into the next game. I also believe that people initially claimed that AI transfers were still broken because newly signed players were not playing any games. That's obviously true if teams aren't using subs. Although the problem seems more apparent with leagues running full detailed sims.

After loading my level 10 save from FM23, I noticed that teams rarely substitute players. When they do, it's usually only one player at the very end of the game.

As I mentioned earlier, I do not have an interest in debates that pit one group against another. I suggest that you follow your own advice about respecting the opinions of others.

Ok. That adds nothing to the conversation. I have no interest in getting into tribalism debates.

Also, the AI using a flat 4-4-2 formation is consistently struggling on defense; the default should be a 4-4-2 with 2 defensive midfielders.

Yes, I enjoy role-playing, but it could be improved logically and with more gameplay mechanics.

They should prioritize the accuracy of the match engine over appearance and fix it properly. Finishing doesn't have anything to do with what I pointed out.

The sim test was designed for sim games, not to mimic the user's experience. The high-scoring game post in this thread referred to the user's experience rather than sim games. Although attacking tactics are still overpowered, they also give up goals, which is why players are seeing high-scoring games. In reality, this playstyle, particularly with inferior players, should not only be vulnerable to defensive exploits but also result in the loss of possessions and inaccurate passes. However, this is not happening outside of defensive holes.

This changed in FM23.

The image function just went live for my account.

You do it by setting a foundation and building upon it. Some new features this year isn’t fully integrated but I personally wouldn’t want to wait until it’s fully integrated because that could take years and some of the concept they would have been working on might become outdated. As long as everything works as intended, setting foundation to build upon new features is fine for a yearly release game.

I believe the main issue is that the take you presented wasn't entirely your own. YouTubers expressed their thoughts on the matter, and then everyone else followed suit. The problem with your statement was that it didn't come across as an opinion, so I wasn't trying to attack you personally. You simply made a claim, but I digress.

I completely understand your point, and I think that integrating that view back into it is a great idea. However, I would like to suggest that saying it is useless as a general statement might not be entirely accurate. I respect your personal opinion on this matter, but perhaps we can find a way to appreciate the value of different perspectives.

Depends on how you play the game. The DOF doesn't interact with the old squad depth page...I get some people flat-out ignore the DOF and also scout manually, but the squad planner feature not being useful is a tired, hot take. It is useful for people who actually use it.

Here is a conversation after using the new data analysis feature: https://chat.openai.com/share/9df83459-0ee3-4d59-b881-7484fabf986b This is from an FC United of Manchester save. I ended up staggering the CM & DM (CM to left & DM to right) and switching the RW to support. Switched the 2 DC to regular Centerbacks and opted for a advanced Forward over the poacher.

They also just included a feature that let it now read images. I haven’t tried it as it is not fully rolled out so I am not sure how well that would work. Other than that, you probably could just use a prompt and include your setup.
