How could the match engine be balanced when several 3rd party testing communities have confirmed year after year acceleration and pace are most impactful to match engine for every version. And the 3rd best attribute is miles behind.
Those experiments tell you nothing except that if you put in unrealistic attributes you get unrealistic results.

The reason why almost no football shirts have real collars any more. Can't look any cooler than Cantona did in this moment.

No explanation in the world can justify that.

$60 is relatively cheap for the most popular mobile games given how almost all of them are geared towards microtransactions.

One thing people should be prepared for is for the match engine to actually be a worse game of football, despite better graphics. It took a couple of iterations for the 3d engine to find its groove.
Overall though, excited, despite the mention of a "Games as a Service" model.

If FM could have less of this, that'd be great...

Is there a way to add players to a shortlist as an international manager?

"Which east African is Belgian international Kevin De Bruyne also eligible for?" was a trivia question in a pub quiz. The answer is Burundi, btw, due to his Burundian mother. It started a conversation between friends about what the world of football would look like if everyone played for the international team they were eligible for that was ranked the lowest. That conversation has ultimately culminated in this database, where just that has been done (with a few caveats):
- Rankings used are from 13/09/2022
- Non-FIFA member teams are unaffected and have not lost or added any players. In the instance where a player has multiple second nationalities that include both FIFA and non-FIFA countries, only the lowest ranked FIFA member is counted.
- Kevin De Bruyne doesn't have Burundian second nationality in the game data, but is moved to Burundi anyway because he inspired the database.
As well as benefiting a number of countries throughout the rankings, the top 50 nations are much changed:
Spoiler
Some interesting nations to play as due to their losses or gains include England, Ireland, Suriname, Haiti, Canada, DR Congo, Ghana and Guinea-Bissau, amongst others. Two additional files are included, one with the database and where all nations have a youth rating of 135 and one with the database and where all rankings points are cleared.

Whether you can offer part-time contracts is often down to the settings put in place by the person who made the database (since you're obviously using an edited database, given only down to 3. Liga is available in-game). You'd have to query that with the person who made the database.
On the other hand though, only being able to offer non-contracts in the German 6th tier doesn't sound that weird to me, that's basically non-league football level if it was transferred over to the English leagues.
Hell being semi-pro is already a step away from reality - as far as I'm aware, all clubs in the German 6th tier are amateur level only.

What if there isnt even a beta coming?
What if we end up waiting till 24th?
This would be amazing. I want this.

Some of you lot are a bit cringey. The joke/gif posts are great, ragging on the SI staff for not saying whether the Beta is out tonight or not isn't.

This thread was made for me.
So I wanted to see what kind of variance you get in a youth intake. Made a save the day before intake, and originally decided to reload 100 times. That's long, so I did 50 instead. I'm playing as Manchester United, and I haven't replaced Head of Youth Development Nick Cox who looks like this in game:
Spoiler
United, obviously, have quite good youth facilities. Earlier in the season I asked the club to upgrade the recruitment, and it's now exceptional. I made the request after I got the preview, so I don't know if that has an effect on this, but we'll just say it doesn't. Here was the preview:
Not exactly a golden era, but not trash either, I assume. It occurs to me, writing this very moment, that really I should've looked at the attributes of players coming through, rather than just star ratings, but I didn't. Anyway.
Some conclusions: the number of high potential - 3.5 * + - players is reasonably rare for this kind of intake. Most of the intakes were relatively trash, with only a few stand outs. And @Ruh Roh is sortof correct - it seems the game generates anywhere between 30-100 players, deciding names, positions and other such things, throwing them into the intakes sort of randomly.
And now for some data in a big ol' table:

Images of the top end of the intakes can be found in this imgur album: https://imgur.com/a/3MhOC9s
And in this spoiler you can see almost all of the top prospects that were generated, except for one 4 * I forgot to screenshot. It was just another RB Mitch anyway.

Love the beta thus far but one admittedly minor change irks me - you can no longer give out opposition instructions to multiple players at the same time, you have to do it one by one, which is an annoying time waster.
Also the 'dark' theme has far too much white on it.

Can at some point someone address the 'I've been playing since the x days' meme. No one cares that you're old enough to have the played the game on the amiga, jeez.

Maybe SI know that people on this forum will complain no matter what, despite the vast majority of customers being satisfied with the game.

Joke posts aside, from what I've seen we're somewhere in this range - shots seem much better, free kicks do not.
Although having said that my team - a second division side in Norway, so not exactly blessed with Nordic Juninho Pernambucanos', just scored two free kicks in a single match so the hell do I know anyway?

As a neutral observation: FM17 is clearly trending downwards, but I find it hard to see an upward trend in concurrent FM18 users.
54,000 is higher than 46,000

While it doesn't mean FM18 hasn't got faults of its own, it's hard to argue with these figures on an overall level.
Indeed.
Personally, I'd love to see revamped international management - allowing B Team fixtures, changing tournament final squad submission dates to allow friendlies to be played prior to confirming your 23, some kind of match prep training etc.
I also think social needs improving, but it's not a major issue. Seems like it takes a 'good tweet, bad tweet, medium tweet' to almost every event, which I think isn't great in all circumstances.

This is one of them. There are plenty of tactics and styles that are viable to succeed with.
