Interestingly I saw my wide cm’s in the wide areas often before, AM not as much. But since restarting my save I don’t see it anywhere near as much. Very strange since the ME is the same

Since my panned J League save isn’t ready to go, I decided to just start a Salzburg save again with more leagues loads and take a bit more time with off the field stuff. Even made the same signings. Tactic started off well, and now it’s gone back to how it was at the start of my first save. Tactical familiarity is full. Team morale is good. Tried a Treq with a PF(s) but average positions had 3-4 players bunched up. Not seeing any of the build up play I was seeing before either. Something is off though. Any suggestions?

I am notcing some differences in the engine, using the same tactic as before, seems to be less passing centrally compared to before. I also now have the really high scoring games which I wasn't getting before.

Just making sure I'm not losing the plot here, if I set the team training to delegate, but keep the individual training to me, then the individual training I set should stay that way until I change it right? Like it doesn't change on it's own unless I delegate that? Cause all the individual training I set up has changed itself

Anyone know why the squad planner keeps reseting? Had no issues with it in the beta

It's a 442, player he wanted was AMR only, not MR. Strange but probably was the issue. If he does anymore I will take him off buying

Where on earth is the option to change a players playing time outside of the contract negotiations? I cannot find it for the life of me

Anyone know how to get the hoyd to sign players who actually fit into the current playing system? I gave him control to look for young player for the future and make bids, but I play a narrow system with no wingers, first player he tries to sign, is of course a winger

Not on the Fanatical website (which is where I got it and is an official vendor). Also do we know how long that snippet has been there?

No, but now that it has happened, it could at least be acknowledged properly and removed from the official website as still being true, which at present still says: The update on the SEGA website is not on the main football manager website nor is it linked to there either.

Would also like to add, and think I will just leave it here after this since clearly not getting any actual meaningful communication on the subject. But simply adding an asterix on the initial annoucement or even the current website that still has no mention of there being any issues with the licenses btw, just saying something like "J League Data will be correct up until X date" or "some logos/badges/faces may not be available at launch, but will be added at a later date" would actually be completely fine. BUT you are still advertising it as fully licensed including all the graphics, which is factually incorrect and misleading. Like if the state it's currently in was the expectation I would be over the moon with what we have honestly. Fine it's not the most up to date data, but at least the leagues are in! But this is a mess, and the response, or lack of one really, to it is even worse.

I mean it's nice to have something, but that barely counts as something. Not even an apology for the delay or anything of the sort. That's not even acknowledging the fact they weren't ready to begin with. Is this also saying that the missing 150-200 players from the J League won't be added at all or?

It was a playable option before the update, it’s just not fully licensed as advertised and missing like 200 players. There are also other issues with the data.

Issue is bigger than that and you know it is.

Also had the update, no changes to the J League I can tell, listing out the teams with license issues. J1: G-Osaka - fake badge, real kits J2: Chiba - real badge, fake kits J2: Fujieda - fake bade, real kits J2: Iwata - real badge, fake kits J2: Kuamoto - real badge, real home kit, fake away kit J2: Nagasaki - fake badge, real kits J2: Omiya - fake badge, real kits J2: Tokyo-V - fake badge, real kits J2: Yakagate - fake badge, real kits J3: Kitakyushu - real badge, fake kits J3: Miyazaki - fake badge, real kits 0 player or staff faces, like none at all This doesn't even touch on the data and other issues that have been highlighted with the leagues.

@Jack Joyce can we please get some sort of official communication around what's happening with the J League please? I hate to keep drumming on about it, but not really getting any answers.

So is Miles lying about it on twitter then cause that's a bit of a contradiction is it not?

https://www.footballmanager.com/news/jleague-make-debut-football-manager-2024 Blog post is still there, but they must have made it harder to find. There should at least be some form of communication about this by now. Even something like "due to unforseen circumstances" without blaming anyone would at least be better than radio silence or random tweets and forum posts. edit: can still access that blog post from here: https://www.footballmanager.com/games/football-manager-2024

yup.. I do know Japan is notoriously difficult, but to announce fully licensed and not deliver on release is extremely poor, and the fact there is no official communication about it, even worse.

basically "who knows". Really wanted to do a J-League save as well.

there's also no player faces.. https://www.footballmanager.com/news/jleague-make-debut-football-manager-2024 This is more than disappointing, it's simply false advertising. edit: some teams have fake badges but real kits as well or vice versa

That's surely something that should be publicly communicated, considering it's full release and it's the first time the league has been in the game. In the depths of an online forum is rather disappointing.

There’s at least 3 of us! Have missed the light skin since they dropped it. There’s usually a fairly decent light skin by the community after a while though

Didn't clock this until was posted a couple of times. I am now past the stage of being angry with SI, just disappointed. No wonder content creators were being asked to refer to the beta as "early access". Also no indication of which these issues may or may not be. Don't get me wrong, it's not just SI, just look at the state that Cities Skylines 2 released in. I'll carry on with my beta save for now until these updates may or may not fix issues I may or may not be experiencing in my save. The game is enjoyable enough for short saves, IGE to resolve all the player complaints it is.

it get's even worse then, was already bad enough being behind what we thought was a £4.99 sub, but this is actually madness
