My game (in matches) is very stuttering and laggy when playing with low settings. What's weird is that the game runs butter smooth if I select higher graphical settings, but then my laptop heats up like crazy and I don't really want to play that way. Is this a common issue? Does anyone have tips on how to improve the performance on low settings?

@XaW Completely OT, but ... heia Follo!

I miss posting in this annual thread

It's been a few days now, and I can't shake the disappointment with the decision to make the game a Netflix exclusive. Diminishing sales and all that, I get the business side of things, but it seems odd they could not have the game available for normal purchase with a 50% markup or something. It's a good game, I would actually be willing to pay a bit more than last year, but I have zero interest in Netflix and the subscription fee is too much to shell out for a game. Somehow I doubt SI will get a lot more regular users/players from this Netflix deal too. This game is really niche, I don't think a lot of casual gamers will download and immerse in a career. I wouldn't be surprised if the mobile game is cancelled for '25, which would be a shame. It's a fine little game, the dev team has done some great work.

Wow, seems SI really don't want me as a customer. First they ruined FMT for pc (the current version is not the same), so I stopped buying that. And now they're tying FMM to Netflix, of all things. I don't have Netflix, I have no interest in Netflix, and, yep, Miles is right, I'm not paying £60 for a mobile game.

Ages ago in an older version of FM, I found a regen named Maradona. Not Diego, but still. Maradona! Of course I had to sign him. I made him a permanent starter. Maradona! I kept him for his entire career, and although he didn't quite live up to his legendary name, he did win the Champions League. Yay!

So, Google just launched a beta version of their service "Google Play Games" "Take mobile gaming to your PC. Explore and play mobile games on PC with Google Play Games beta." https://play.google.com/googleplaygames I downloaded the app, but could not see FMM as a supported game. I can't imagine any game being better suited than FMM, and a similar game from another developer was there...wink wink cough cough I have no clue what it takes for a game to be supported, but I hope you will do some investigation down this path, SI dev team

I don't have any hard statistics to back this up, but is the penalty conversion rate a bit too low? I don't see that many penalties overall, neither for my team nor the opposition, but so many penalties are saved by the GK's. Anyone else having the same feeling?

@Ewan Aiton My device is a Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G. It is running Android 12. Unfortunately I cannot help you with a save.

Easier said than done! Malaga is an interesting challenge. The first team squad is full of players aged 33+ with less than ideal personalities. Nobody wants to buy them, and I don't have a ton of money to release them and buy replacements. 🙂 Think this is going to be a long haul, letting the old guys' contracts run out and bringing in younger replacements for cheap.

I don't think he would refuse to come on? I didn't try it, I was surprised to see that message and chose another player. Didn't want to risk the game by bringing on someone who didn't care at all. I'm surprised a 19 year old doesn't want to be part of a winning team in a fairly competitive league (Spanish 2 div). Can professionalism change with training and overall good team performances?

We were 2-0 up, I was looking to bring on a sub to rest some legs and give another player some game time. Then I noticed he wasn't really interested in coming on! Why is this? Can I do anything about it? I have the least professional squad ever. Grade F. I'm looking to replace this lot, but it takes time to find new recruits so I have to make do with what I have for now.

Earlier today I meant to play a few matches, but before I knew it I had been playing for an hour and my phone complained about low battery. Misson accomplished, SI!

Played for another 30 minutes and haven't had the issue again. I'll update this ticket if it comes back. Let me know if you need any more info.

I don't remember if it was '21 or '22, but I know I tried one of those games through Samsung Dex (docked mode, makes the phone work like a computer-ish), and it didn't work. The app would not start. You said you might look into it, but no promises given. Fair enough. Now that FM Touch is no longer an option for pc's, and FMM growing increasingly complex for every iteration, it would be great (for me!) to be able to play it on a bigger screen. So, the question is, did you add Dex support this year?

It was just an example. Can't play a CM-S as a striker

If you think of "roles" as a set of pre-defined instructions, it makes sense. Although I don't like that some instructions are locked for the roles. It makes the system too rigid. I can no longer tell my player to do a certain role " - but I don't want you to run that much with the ball". Gotta go with another role, which may have other instructions locked in. I'd much rather have a "blank slate" role, where I could add the instructions I wanted.

Will we get a "feature reveal" prior to launch? Curious what's coming this year. I didn't play '22 much, but I've bought them all so I can't stop now!

This is sooo annoying. If you don't specify the corner takers, it's usually a striker or a central defender who gets the job. I had Lascelles taking corners for Newcastle for weeks before I understood what was going on, lol. I've learned my lesson now... Always check the set piece instructions before a game. Sometimes it gets messed up anyway though, two subs and an injury and woop, there goes the striker to take the corner. I wish we could change this in-game. @Marc Vaughan 🙂

The "adjust mentality after quality of opposition" makes sense in theory, but that's kind of why I created this thread. Yesterday my team (4th) played at home vs the team in 8th. I kept the formation that easily got us three points playing away last week, but changed from "balanced" to "control". We were 0-2 down before half time, and I couldn't get a shot in until the 80th minute or so. I don't know what to do. Sometimes this game feels completely random, although I'm sure it isn't. It's just frustrating never really figuring things out, so to speak.

The area in the game I struggle the most with is tactics (or team selection?). If I play really well in one game, big "deserved" (stats-wise) win, you can count on my team not even turning up for the next game against some mid table nobodies and end up at the wrong end of a 5-0 thumping. This is even if I play the exact same 11 with the same tactic that was so brilliant last week. I just don't understand how this works. Of course I can accept defeat, but not my team going from Barcelona to Barnet in a week. Am I supposed to chop and change tactics based on the pre-match report? 4-3-3 this week against this opponent, 3-5-2 next week against that opponent? You would need a really big squad to do that, not really an option for smaller teams. What do you do? And perhaps most important, what is the most important info in the pre-match report and how do you react to it?
