I'm having a quite good time with my Deportivo La Coruna save although there are two bugs which may create a great disappointment in future.
We are sitting at the top by 14 points after 28 games. (23 w - 3 d - 2 l) Our next home game is against Real Madrid B who are behind us at second spot. So basically if we win, it's 17 points with 9 games remaining.
We have lost an away game (1-0) after a 14 games unbeaten run. I got a message to my inbox from board as they were calling me to a meeting and discuss my future. They nearly sacked me but I asked them to give me one more month and everything will be good. And all this time I had a grade B and my job was secure. I know this is a reported issue in Bug Tracker and I hope they fix it soon. I don't want to get sacked after having one of the greatest seasons in our division.
Also fans are constantly furious with me (Grade F) without a proper reason. I also know this is a reported issue in Bug Tracker.
Apart from these two bugs my thoughts on FM23;
- I really liked the chaos, interceptions, deflections and ball physics in new match engine.
- There are too many and too accurate long balls, usually leading attacking players to get into one on one situations.
- I didn't use Squad Planner much. I don't know if it's necessary for my playstyle. Although I'll deeply look into it after my first seasons where I didn't have much chance to change my squad.
- Recruitment Revamp is a successful change. It's much easier and goal-oriented right now. There are some minor QoL bugs though like when you backspace you start to see recommended players from the beginning tab.
-Uefa Licences looks great. I still need couple more seasons to experience it in my save but as far as I've seen from streamers, youtubers this addition creates a perfect atmosphere.
- I don't like when someone says "this year game is easy" or "it's harder than fm22" but I feel like AI opponents are not playing as they should be against my team. They usually try to sit at back and do not try to exploit my weaknesses. This also happened in fm 21 (or fm20 maybe) where SI fixed it in full release.
