[The totally *not* official Advanced Access Speculation of FM24 - This time it’s speculative]

As far I am aware, the Steam refund policy is only applicable if you have played a game for less than two hours.

So, you must have not done much in said solid week of playing the beta.

It was pretty clear in half an hour the game wasn't good. At least Jacobson this time has admitted so, a step forward.

Jacobson will be dialled into the England game tonight. His latest update will be tomorrow or Thursday.

Miles said this is the most polished version of FM in his opinion and much of the team is already working on FM25...

So no reason why you can't press that button right now Miles!

Jacobson said that about FM2020!

In my opinion it was beter than FM18,19 or 20, but not quite as good as FM16 or 17

16 is surely the best FM engine so far produced. Probably sadly it won't ever be beaten.

Yea SI are bragging quite alot on twitter about how many people are playing this game. I personally think its the worst match engine so far but as long as people are still buying/playing and anyone that criticises the game is in the minority then it won't be changed

I agree with you but actually looking back at the games the ME has been getting progressively worse since 2015. Lack of competition maybe but SI will either adapt or kill this great series. There has been a lot of criticism of this version and the last one over the internet. The real problem is the ME fails to spot a short killer central pass, always goes wide in 20, every time, previous 2 versions most of the time.

Thanks for the quick replies Tiger666 and TheMattB81

The last game I played was FM16 (only just stopped playing it in December), there had never been this issue in all the previous versions as far as I know.

This surely is a huge bug that should warrant a HotFix update or whatever it is called. SI ???

So all the time and thought put into my tactic has been a waste of time, as players are being pulled out of position at set-pieces.

So I guess my choice is, 1) back to the drawing board with my tactic, to adapt it to compensate for players being pulled out of position or 2) back to FM16

I really am shocked that the final update hasn't addressed this.

 

Go back to 16 way superior MI. 20 is the worst I can recall on FM.

Sorry guys, but I need to cope.
I am in my 5th season and currently managing Spurs (my third club)
And this season is the cheesiest, most infuriating season I ever had on any Football manager.
I dominated the dutch league the season before with the same tactic (won like 12 games in a row). And the beginning it looked promising, beating everyone besides the absolute top teams away from home (often getting smacked like 3-0 by Arsenal, City and United) but beat everyone Spurs should be able to beat at this point.

And after like the first 10 games or so the game completely changed for me. I missed EVERY penalty this season (I didn't have much in the first 10 games, atleast not enough that I would have noticed the broken conversion rate). Troy Parrott and Andrea Belotti are top notch strikers at this point and missed 9 out of the last 9 penalties. I tried another penalty taker, missed 2/2.

The amounts of instant red cards I conceived is staggering. Like 4 red cards in 9 games.  I usually dominate games with 30 shots, atleast 10 on target to something like 5 shots and 3 on target by the opponent and can often barely scrap a draw. 
My two strikers are absolutely brain dead when it comes to positioning and can't finish anything that isn't like an open goal (1v1 are pretty rare since I dominate the game and opponents often sit deep). More often than not my defenders decide to join in on being braindead and either turn slow enough they can get disposed by the half way line or head the ball directly to strikers and midfielders who finish 30 yards out - top bins. 
Sorry for the rant, but this isn't my first FM, nor is this my first club or the first season on this career. But the amount of times I see completely broken and borderline insulting stuff happening to my team is infuriating. 
I am considering to go back to FM 17 at this point, since FM 20 seems to be broken in so many regards that I think it won't ever get fixed. (1v1s were a big issue before the patch, penalties are still broken imo, defensive cohesion non existing and World Class strikers simply go goal drouts that last 20 games...)

Is 17 better than 18. 20 is unacceptable, so far managed to backdate most 20 data but can't get Euro Cup changes to work for 18. If 17 is better might go to that one

It's not my game and no, I don't think that FM18 was the better game. There are issues with the ME, but for all the other parts I think FM 20 is the best version so far. 

Perhaps the solution is go back to the 18 ME and do better for next year.

It was stated before by SI that there are different levels of testing. But there is also a simple testing rule: Spotting a bug is not fixing it. And it is usually not just one line of code that need to be changed. The complexity of the game code makes it difficult to fix something without causing issues in another part of the game.

Just looked back at 18, no comparison it was way better. Excuses don't excuse your game is going backwards.

does this new update which still is going to come also include ME changes ?

Hope so it has come back in a bad state from last week. Pass Wide, High Cross, Far post header, repeat, repeat repeat. Can't remember it ever this unplayable on any version tbh. Shame because the game looks really good otherwise.
