This sums up beautifully exactly how I feel.

It's weird how many differences people see on each game. For me, 23 was an absolute shambles. The ME was a joke. 24 is light years ahead of it and I've clocked way more hours on 24 than I ever did on 23.

So there will definitely be another data update. Just no ME.

To be fair, if you made a separate article and listed your frustrations in a non sweary way, you may be ok. They never tolerate anything on the feedback thread that isn't constructive towards identifying the issues that are raised.

Sadly the cynic in me says, from a business perspective, why would they do that. Absolutely no benefit for them to say that. I personally agree that you'd hope that the loyal community this franchise is built on would get that level of communication from SI but sadly, that isn't the world we live in.

I agree. I am ok with the ME as it is. Just would have been nice to get a slightly more polished version but I can certainly live with it until we see the shiny new 25.

Bold move not to make any ME changes. Very bold.

I get that but the game is fundamentally built around realism and being immersive. I actually struggle more with this stuff and Klopp leaving Liverpool to take over City than I do with a few more goals in the ME...different for everyone though I guess.

Had you even heard of him before that article?

The only possible chance would be if there were sat bottom of their CL group and about 10 points plus behind the top 4, which I imagine is unlikely.

To be fair, it is kind of irrelevant that Arteta is still manager in your save. It is more about the fact that he'd never be sacked in real life being 5th in November of 2023.

Yeah exactly. I feel it doesn't need to be toned down as long as it is balanced out in the overall context of the goals.

I personally think this ME is the best, certainly in terms of capturing what a "real" football match should look and feel like. One of the vast improvements is the dynamic of the ball, the different goals that are scored, crosses/passes played etc. One thing that we all (well, most) have recognised is the high amount of goals in comparison to XG and shots taken, which feels about right. Is there a case that the deflections in the game are one of the reasons we are seeing more goals? I am happy that these goals are captured but it does feel like a high number of goals are scored because little deflections leave the keeper helpless....

I think you can 99.9% guarantee this would have been looked at considering it is the number 1 issue that is being reported.

Yeah, I've always thought first week of December. No basis for that but certainly wouldn't expect it much before.
