For me at the moment its player happiness...
I have gotten my small Shrewsbury squad into the Championship and having survived the 1st season punching above our weight we are now into our 2nd season. I have one striker who wasnt really firing on all cylinders before but the tail end of last season and the start of this he has bagged 6 in 8 appearances. Now he has been unhappy at the squad for some time and was wanting 1st team games. Annoyingly though I promised it to him and he has started lots of games and proving to be a regular. Thing is his status is still set as unhappy despite me playing him so often. Seems to be taking ages to register that my promise has in fact been kept.
To add to this I cannot offer him a new contract, it expires in June of the following year and its now Sept... I am sure with other players this promise resets as such quicker.. not with this guy frustratingly..
There is a screen where you can see promises and if they are green (fulfilled) or not. That screen also shows the time period. So even if he is happy with his playing time he needs to remain happy until that time is up. But I can't remember from the top of my head where that screen can be found. Maybe the manager profile?

Here are the season ratings of all the players to make a league appearance for me. One of them won league player of the year at his position. Want to guess which one, and what his position is?
Well, considering how goalkeepers almost never get a rating above 7 in this game he is a superstar! My goalkeepers usually end up around 6.66 for a season. Everything above 6.7 is a superb performance it seems.

Inside forwards on attack can be quite single minded and selfish when looking for goal scoring opportunities, maybe consider playing him on support. You can use get further forward to increase his runs into the box.
Yeah, I've started to notice that lately. I've switched the IF to Support and hope it will do some good. No similar situations yet so can't really say if it will help this particular problem.
13 hours ago, Experienced Defender said:His poor decisions attribute rating seems to be the key reason in this particular case. Your tactic looks decent overall. It can be improved by a couple of tweaks though, but I don't think the situation from the screenshot was caused by the tactic (at least not primarily).
Fair enough! I'm tweaking it right now, added lower tempo which seems to improve the team overall. Hopefully it will allow them to do better in similar situations as well.

Is this situation after def corner? Why advanced forward is so far behind? In this specific situation it would need lower tempo and direct passes (maybe), but then again that would affect everything else. Dribble less could also help. Its hard to build whole tactic around this. Maybe some individual traits could help?
Hehe, the one who is completely free is actually the BBM and the AF got brutalized by opposition player and just got up on his legs there. Thats why he is so far behind. I think the situation arose from a def corner.
Hutchinson have had a few incidents since this match where his first solution is a shot, so I will think about your suggestions and try a few to see if something helps!

I've had a few of these situations but this one was pretty extreme. Hutchinson had been running unopposed for several metres before reaching this position. Instead of passing he shot straight into the defender a millisecond after this image was taken.
What decides this?
He is an below average player for League One. But I see this in all competitions no matter the level and I almost never see the pass instead of the shot.
So my question is really, when should I expect a player to do the right thing here and how can I improve the chances of that happening? Is my player simply too bad at key attributes? Is my tactic doing something that doesn't promote good passes or am I simply expecting too much from players in these situations?

@Karnack Your question requires analysis of your tactic and therefore cannot be asked or answered in this quickfire thread. Therefore, you need to start your own separate thread, ask the question again there (preferably with a screenshot of your tactic).
Please do so and you'll surely get some feedback
Yeah, I wasn't sure if it deserved it's own thread or not, thanks! Any chance you could pm me the post so I don't have to rewrite it? :P I'm lazy like that

Hello!
I took over Ross County in december last year and everything looked alright. Didn't think so much about the fixture list.
This year however I think something has broken. This is the fixture list:
As you can see there is a break in the Premiership between 24th of October until the 26th of December. Then we go nuts in January and Feb with 18 games in total in those two months. All I can find about the Premiership is that there usually is a break between 30th of December to 17th of January. So this is surely not right?
I don't have a custom database loaded in this save.

Before I even begin to discuss this. What is your agenda here? To vent steam, or try to figure out what happened in your game? If it's venting, then please say so, because anything we discuss is moot if that's the case.
I've given up, this is what Trump would sound like if he played FM.

So what your are saying is real life again ,like i said before search google and find a transfer where a club turn down millions for a 16 year old but took peanuts instead !!!
On my game my head of youth development is NOT doing his job despite him being better than all the premiership head of youth im paying him 35k a week to just sit there ,despite my club being the top rated club on FM and everything just as good and better than the same AI clubs who get great prospects year in year out ,and can you please stop quoting real life examples because the game is far from real life ,but real life is quoted just to hide the fact the AI favours AI
Agents in real life get the player the best deal - on FM the agents get there player the worse deal
Transfers- human club from AI club player worth 20million will cost human 140million - AI to AI around 40/60mjllion human to ai player value 50million your lucky to get anywhere near that after the player is unhappy after the first bid and whacks a request in ,but human can never get a player from AI team to be unhappy and make rest of his team mates unhappy
I could rant on ,but the like i said everything on the game is designed to hinder the human player ,spending millions on youth set is pointless waste of cash as it does nothing to improve your youth ,its easier just to scan youth intake list and poach them yourself .
But hey so long as the ME can be improved each year we can just wallpaper over all the important parts
And i will take my ban of the forum seeing as im not posting within the rules ,oh its a great game look it happens in real life 😂😂
So what you are saying is that the game/AI is against you because you are a human player and you have a constant disadvantage and yet you are the most reputable club in the world. Who did that? The AI?

Im in my 12th season and im saying what i see in the game ,is that not allowed ? Or do we all have to sit here and say its wonderfull for fear of getting banned ? I didnt know he was si staff ,so hes hardly going to say its not is he ,and like he said theres a "chance" your club could do the same to AI , theres also a chance "you" could win the lottery mate ,so am i lying or his he lying ?
I know he isn't lying nor do I think you are lying but you are frustrated which is common. But don't take it out on people calling them liars.

A strong chance but no chance , ive got top youth recruitment , top youth training cant improve anything on it no more ,14 top youth coaches, im listed as the worlds top club , and im still waiting for a youth player above 3 stars , to say it works both ways is a lie ,AI to AI it maybe does but the game dont favour the human player one bit. In fact the game does everything it can to stop you.
So SI-staff tells you how it works and you claim they are lying? Why are you even here then?

I've been using it now and then in the right circumstances (at least what I think is right) and thats usually when we are up against an opponent we aren't expect to win against.
The only talk option I never use any more is the one pre-match where we can tell them to get revenge against a team we lost to before. It ALWAYS give good green reactions but I have never ever won a game where I used it

So what?? Its huge problem.
I mean check the real life premier league top scorers from 1999/2000 and see the diffrence.
Strikers are useless now or there is some other problem .
What more Aguero scored 20 goals and 3 of them were from penalties, auba scored 2 and thuavin 1 from penalies.
It probably is a bit on the low end, but if you check the average for top scorers in the PL since 2000 its 25,8 goals per season. The lowest season being 2008/2009 with Anelka on 19 goals. The highest being Salah on 32 2017/2018

Updated to 20.2.4
New save, first game of the season : SEVEN one on one with the Gk ... ALL MISSED !!!
Really ? Really SI ??? SEVEN ( 7 ) ???
Callum Wilson has 17 finishing ... really ?
What do i need ? A player with 20 finishing to score a one on one ???
To be fair I haven't had this issue at all since the public beta-patch and now I think it's even better.

It does annoy me a little when I see England internationals in the 2030s with names like Nigel, Clive, Norman, Ken, Trevor, etc... but I understand where you're coming from. Some 'old' boys' names like Arthur and Jasper have started to come back into fashion, so it does happen.
It would be a shame if, say, we eventually ended up with an FM game database where there were 1,000 Jordans or Callums in the UK but not one Fred or Peter.
Yup, I agree it's a bit annoying but it would be very strange any other way as well. Currently one of the more popular names in Sweden is Axel, when I grew up only old people was named Axel

Names go in cycles, old names return and gets popular again. Also, people are naming their kids all sorts of names these days. Why would this be strange, really? It would be awful if the name generator only took current popular names for each country. Imagine 15 generations of newgens all named from the 100 most popular names at the creation of the database.
Besides, surnames might come from any nation, his parents might be immigrants from a country where Sardinha is normal. Or they might have just decided to take a new surname based on their love for sardines.

Yeah the star rating is very much impacted by form - as in real-life the perception of a player is biased by how they're performing in the 'here and now' ... if a striker goes on a barren spell for 4-5 matches then pundits start asking if he's past it rather than realizing he's just been unlucky etc.
This is entirely intentional and is intended to (1) be realistic, (2) mean that you have to use your own judgement to cut through the opinions and ultimately decide what YOU think as a manager .
PS - Glad you're enjoying the game
Good to hear it's working as intended, it's a bit different from how I've experienced it in regular FM but I definitely like it!
An idea would be to keep the potential star rating maybe a little bit less dependant on form since we know the ability has been there once, maybe there is potential for it to return. Just a thought
Thanks for a great game.

Gotta say I love this version of FMM. I've soon played FMM20 more than I have played FM20 and thats a first.
Question regarding coach reports. Should poor form effect the star rating very much? I took over Fiorentina and Marco Benassi was rated at 4 stars. After about 6 games with an average of 6.11 he is now at 2 stars. This happens all the time, the stars seems to be affected more by form than actual attributes.
Is this working as intended? @Marc Vaughan

As Var is purely a ME mechanic, has anyone noticed a different outcome to the usual with this beta?
Unfortunately not. It's always outside the box, it's always a penalty and it's always a disallowed goal when VAR is used. I've not seen any other outcome in the 20+ seasons I've played so far.

My latest "feedback" update on the game, in no particular order:
It's interesting that I found the ball over the top very annoying up until my last save (started a new Liverpool save about a week ago) and now I have very few issues with 1v1s and long balls over the top.
Amount of CCCs has also gone down in this latest save. Again, not sure if my tactic is really bad and the pure quality of my Liverpool side hides that fact or if it's something else. But last season 8 CCCs in a game was the most I had and that included a single situation that generated 3 of those after the goalie made several world class saves in short order. Our conversion rate on CCCs are around 60-70% which is more than satisfactory in this case.
I still have too many shots (a match with less than 30 shots are uncommon) and miss too many but at least, and I really don't know if it's my tactic or not, I don't see 5+ 1v1s per game or perfect long balls all the time. Not from our side or from the oppositions side.
Penalties are an issue, especially for elite sides it seems. I never had issues with missing penalties when I played three seasons in the lower leagues of Swedish football but Salah, Milner and Fabinho almost never scores a penalty.
Players trying to save a loose ball from going out and then almost always end up standing still on it until an opposing player arrives and snatch it is a pretty prominent annoyance.
All in all I'm enjoying myself (I just wish Man U were worse ;)).

Not sure if this is worth posting (I will add more pkms as I continue to play because I've seen a lot of similar situations lately).
Origi with the ball here (situation starts at 66:22) and he doesn't take the pass to any of the free attackers onside. Instead he shoots straight at the keeper.

How to improve this tactic in both ends
in Tactics, Training & Strategies Discussion
Posted · Edited by Karnack
Hey!
I've been climbing quickly with Port Vale (unrealistically so of course) but now we are getting stuck in the Championship and I mainly feel it's because we are awful at finishing whilst we at the same time let almost all CCCs against us.
We are leaders in Shots on target ratio at 63% but we are stuck in 21st place on conversion rate.
We have in the last 50 domestic league games created 41 CCCs but only scored 26 while on the other end teams have created 28 against us and scored 21.
Goalkeeper might be an issue here.
Tactical-wise, how can I improve?
