I also replicated this tactic in the 4312 system as well since Celtic are in a similar position in terms of dominating the league: Same sort of thing

I like to play as Salzburg to get a feeling of the ME as the dominant team in the league, as it shows how the AI tries to deal with the disparity between teams. I was about to make a post in the feedback thread, but figured why not ask for tactical advice first. I will start off by saying I'm not "struggling" for results nessessarily But what I do find is complete domination in all stats, and yet lots of low scoring games and the opposition scoring with their first or second shot of the game. Fairly standard complaint to see on the forums I know. But then I look into the general advice that's given in these situations and find you get one of the following: Too aggresive: You're boxing them in, not creating any space. Too patient: You're allowing them to get back into position and not exploiting the space. What I've noticed in game trying both approaches, almost identical stats and results. So I try to build a more middle ground tactic, and it's almost identical as well. Here's a few of the systems I have tried so far: All have their pros and cons I am sure. And I have tweaked each in game when I am seeing things that aren't working. Reason for a 4312 is because it's what Salzburg play IRL and I've looked up some of their tactical analysis online and have tried to not replicate completely, but at least cover the key principles of the system. But again all the systems are running into the same issues. So looking for any suggestions on breaking down these compact teams with a 4312.

Agreed on the 2D engine part, had one of those over the top replays just yesterday and thought the exact same thing regarding the 2D engine, it's all there, why isn't it being used

There's another issue here I'm not sure you've noticed. Setting the TI to much more direct, is turning the PI into shorter passing, and TI for more pressing to PI of less often pressing. It's 1 thing to not be able to change the PI's after changing the TI's, but the info it's showing is conflicting and confusing for the user.

Have to say, I don't actually mind the default skin this year. The purple and orange-yellow looks really nice.

One of my players tried it and went straight into the keepers arms, he was pulled straight off and left out of the next matchday squad

Interesting, how did you get on vs the teams playing super low blocks and 7 at the back? (3cb, 2dm, 2wb) cause I know that happens from when I used to play as Celtic

What was your tactic?

Also tried, even reset the cache.

Ha I was actually going to ask if you could do something like this in the skinning section once the full game was released, good to know, will give it a go. Can't get over how that FM21 screenshot looks better though

The 2d match engine is unfortunately pretty bad, I have always like played 2d with 3d highlights, but I've had to go full 3d, however I can confirm the 3d engine is really really good

John McGinn transfer listed at the start of the game as club do not have a role for him. He's the club captain and very important player for Emery/Villa

On my save he's been transfer listed as club do not have a role for him. He's the club captain and very important player for Emery.

I don't even know how to answer this question.. it was first game of the season vs a team that's equivalent to non-league vs premier league in the cup. What circumstances are they talking about, how can a result in the first game of the cup vs a semi professional team warrant this question

It's just a downgrade on what it used to be before they changed it. The dots are still too big, they look like they are playing zorb football

2D classic disappointing again, looks like they are playing in the void

Another year of this, just want to feedback, again. It's just bad UI/UX design this. Also an actual issue, the "press conference atmosphere" bit in the middle, cannot be seen on a MacBook Pro with a notch.

Good write up, and I fully agree

Sorry, little confusing last line. Do you mean there will be changes for the full release of the game or changes in the winter transfer update?

Theres a thread in the data forum about this, due to licensing: https://community.sigames.com/bugtracker/football-manager-2024-early-access-bugs-tracker/database-and-research/japan-data-issues/

This reminds me a lot of the year the AI could take short freekicks and you couldn't do anything about the player they were passing to. Please get this logged.

I think if you use the "select team later" option you can get the full drop down back. I had the options for all the leagues I had enabled.

tbf people have and do wear glasses without actually needing glasses for sight reasons, so an accessory. I would also make the assumption that a larger % of the population wear glasses compared to needing hearing aids, and generally speaking, people don't think of glasses as an ability aid when compared to a hearing aid. If they simply added hearing aids to accessories would that make you more or less angry?

That's good to know at least - although not seen it before, but it is Japan and has been notoriously difficult in the past so of course they have to be different haha

This is strange then, I was also under the impression was fully licensed
