Are you the same nationality as the club you’re managing? What is your reputation? Your background? Your attributes? My guess is all or some of these will have an impact on players “moaning”. Give it a few seasons, start to create your own team, not one you’ve inherited, get the players to “appreciate your position as manager” etc and my guess is this will settle down.
Same nationality, starting with the highest level of experience selectable. I actually don't mind that there's increased pushback from the squad, but the 'squad depth' one seems to happen every single transfer window regardless of depth, I have too many players and I'm getting it.

Nope players this year seem to be pistols at dawn over the slightest grievance for me too. Gave up on my first save (not imported from FM23) because I just had endless problems with players moaning about everything.
Squad depth whinging has been a big one for me - I've got too many players and they're telling me I need to buy more 2x a season

It feels too easy to hold onto my best players. I got promoted with Norwich, then finished 5th in my first season in the PL (Maybe something to reflect on how easy it is to succeed with a Gegenpress tactic there as well...) and I have players putting in these kinds of performances and I'm not getting bids from top clubs at all - only the odd Saudi...
In real life, I'd have no hope of holding onto all of these guys

Love the Saudis. They can sports wash me all over

Really?. It shouldn't matter that he is a POS. All professional players should be in the game.

I am yet to download the Beta.......proving to myself that I am in charge and not the game!
Looks like he's there in standard mode, but he's not if you choose 'your world' - i.e., with latest transfers he's at Getafe on loan but if you don't apply latest transfers he disappears entirely like FM23.2 -
No Mason Greenwood? Appreciate he's an absolute POS but Ruben Semedo is still in the game

This match engine is a delight. Bravo

Haven't even gotten to a match yet, but really liking the game - UI has made improvements, I think it had regressed the last couple of versions so I think it's great to see such strides forward. Really liking the way transfers work as well, bit more involved to get rid of deadwood and feels more realistic.
Quite fun to have a Suadi club swoop in for someone

Well, I guess that's the trade off for still having the right players at your club. The feature was designed a certain way, and it works as expected. Fire in a request in the feature request thread if you want to see it done another way.
I'm giving my feedback on a feature in an official feedback topic - why are you being such a gatekeeper?

I've already told you how to get round this. The concept of the Your World feature is that the transfers are up to date as of the start date in your game. Then you recreate history.
Less of the attitude, thanks.
This doesn't work - I've tried it. Players who's contracts are meant to expire on 1st July have contract extensions. Messi has an extra year with PSG, Skrianer ends up contracted to Inter until 2028 etc.0 -
Are there any leagues where you can get a start date in June 2023? Want to undo all these transfers but don't want to go back to before the end of last season!

Give people an inch, they want an mile. It's the FM way.
This is a thread for feedback, I'm giving it in good faith.
It's a weird implementation, the appeal of this is that you get to have a go at the transfer window as things ended last season - what we have is an odd halfway house.

The reason you would have Havertz at Arsenal is because in real life he joined on the 28th June 2023. And you start 'Your World' mode on July 3rd 2023.
Yes, I understand the reason - my feedback is that this isn't a great experience. This mode would be much better if no transfers were processed.
2 -
I was really excited about being able to play without summer transfers being in the game at the start of the season, but somehow I'm still lumped with Havertz at Arsenal, which has kinda ruined it. Would be much better if this feature started with same squads as last season and people who's contracts expired available for free.

Save game compatibility is absolutely brilliant! One thing I'd love to see built in a future version of the game, in a similar vein, is the ability to use an older version of the database and start in a prior year, so play FM26 with FM12's database, starting in 2011.

Pretty chuffed with this guy in my first batch of regens

What countries can I send my players off too with a short turnaround on the work Permits
Nowhere, the UK leaves the EU in-game on 1st Jan so gaining citizenship elsewhere is of no help, except maybe Ireland I guess, which retains free-movement with the UK.
You'll have to loan them out until they fulfil other work-permit criteria, e.g. caps.

Apologies if he's already been posted, but this Syrian striker looks absolutely brilliant and can be had for £3m ish first window. He's 31 so not a long-term solution, but could do a job for any team. Starts at Al-Ahli in Saudi Arabia.

Or...
Huddersfield - Sacked 35 games in to my first season.
Next save, Halifax - Mid table first season, sacked 10 games into 2nd season.
I've been playing since CM99. Just y'know, trying to give a balanced view.
It's obviously specific to tactics. Switch to a gegenpress and watch yourself miraculously smash everyone.

That sounds awful.
Long-term motivation in manager games is very important for me.
I would add I got taken over by tycoon, so I had very good money to spend in the window (about £90m after sales). I put together a really good team that I thought would finish top half, maybe push for Europe with a bit of luck and good management, but yeah, nearly winning the league was ridiculous - I actually lost to Man City in game 37, handing them the title (I'd have won it if I won that game) and instead of being disappointed I was relieved.
This is an example of the type of team I was able to put out. So yeah, I shouldn't have been scrapping for survival but also shouldn't have been spanking the top 6 routinely, either.
I think there are two issues at play here: 1) The tactic is basically an exploit, and it's just the standard gegenpress 4-3-2-1 with some very minor adjustments (made it attacking not balanced) and I never had to adjust it for opposition. In fact, it got me basically the same PPG in the Champ as the Prem, I expected I wouldn't be able to use it against half the teams in the Prem and would need a more balanced tactic. Problem 2) is that it was too easy for me to acquire top talent, both on loan and permanent. I know I had the money and the fees were (mostly) realistic, but a lot of those players shouldn't have been interested in coming to a newly promoted side. I got Vinicius Jr on loan in the Championship FFS!

Just now, sverige91 said:
Last year when Messi/Ronaldo/Ciro Immobile scored 15-18 goals in League, was that normal? Set -Piece defending last year or 1v1 percentage, was that normal? Every year there is something. If we lived with that last 2 year, you can also see past this.
I finished 2nd with Norwich after promotion - I'm not bragging, it's ridiculous. A 4-2-3-1 gegenpress with attacking mentality taking a newly promoted club to 2nd with an average Champ striker banging in a goal a game is stupid.
Not to mention, not a single bid or bit of interest in him or my other top performing players. The AI knows they are ****.

Thats not the norm though...on my save Adam Idah has scored 10 goals in 3 seasons and plays for Bristol Rovers!
Strikers are absolutely categorically not OP! If they were the AI teams would be banging in loads of goals they just aren't.
I'd agree they aren't overpowered with AI managers, but no matter what I do my strikers bang in a goal a game

LOL at people saying strikers are overpowered.
Does this look normal to you?

I agree with others that the game is too easy. I used a 4-2-3-1 gegenpress tactic, with attacking mentality. Playing as Norwich I got promoted with 100 points (ok, not entirely unrealistic with good signings and management) and with Adam Idah, in real-life a talented prospect but not quite starting XI material, and in-game a player with no attribute about 15, scoring a goal every 80 minutes.
First season in the Prem and I don't adjust my tactics at all, apart from in 2 games early season against top clubs where I played with a holding midfielder and balanced mentality. Abandoned this as it wasn't getting results. I ended up finishing 2nd in the Prem, 85 points (2 off City) and with Adam Idah again scoring a goal every 80 mins on his way to the Golden Boot in Europe.
I love a lot about the new game, but I'm back to my FM20 saves now because winning the league comfortably in my 3rd season as Norwich isn't the game I want.

There's a lot of reasons for top clubs to be interested, though. I'd expect to be batting off offers from Europe's top clubs for all 3 of these and hopefully keep 2 of them. I also got no interest when we were promoted. IRL, if Rowe had seasons like this Norwich would be getting massive bids from all of England's top clubs.
