Not sure if this is a bug or not - but on my MacBook when I press continue and the inbox opens up I used to be able to just press the up arrow and it would go through the inbox. I now have to click on something first to be able to do this. Is this by design? Is there an option to turn this feature on?
Could you post here please - https://community.sigames.com/forum/726-football-manager-2020-bugs-forum/

Neil Brock tearing it up for Newcastle in 2025.
It's not too late to career switch Brocky.
He's injured. Sounds about right.

The average rating system is not very useful in this version at all. Not trying to be lazy and only rely on it either but....if a player is not involved in a goal, their average rating is usually in the 6 range unless the scoreline is really high. I just beat Chelsea away and Liverpool at home and most of my team got 6 ratings. We had more possession and quality shots than Chelsea and Liverpool we just defended well, they did not create many CCCs
Edit: Page didn't reload and someone already posted about this...ah well - I am also having this issue!
Would be worth raising some of your most blatant examples, including PKMs of the matches in question, here please - https://community.sigames.com/forum/739-match-engine-ai-and-tactics/

Might just be a random coincidence, but two seasons in a row now the Premiership scheduling has me playing the home and away versions of the same match right after each other on boxing day then 2 days later. vs Leicester last season and vs Southampton this season.
Does this also hold true for other clubs and/or other save games?
Could certainly just be a quirk of the scheduling, something realistic that I am not aware of or simply a bug. Worth posting here if you believe it to be the latter please - https://community.sigames.com/forum/713-league-specific-issues/

Does anybody know what the issue with the penalties was? If it wasn't mainly the ref Research / Attributes, Long-term this should still be given a higher priority imo. It seems Pretty clear that the gap here seems to be reasonably large Longer-term, unless mistaken. There are refs in the db who seem/ed to average at least 0.8 pens per game, whilst others barely much at all.
Whilst this may make for more exciting Gameplay (worth checking your next ref's Performance page, probably); in Football this is more consistent between refs (same as the average amohnt of bookings are/used to be within a leage/Country). Which is likely no surprise, as, despite the perception of Things being otherwise, they are all given strict Guidelines they are encouraged to follow, after all.
The attribute issue was not responsible for penalties.

My player is unhappy because he thinks I didn't keep the promise to be "best of the rest" in the PL (which is 7th place IIRC). Only we have 6 more games to play, one point less than 7th placed team and 3 games in hand! Is this a bug? Should I report it?
Without seeing your save I cannot say for certain, so it would be worth posting in the bugs forum please, but "best of the rest" is not a specific position in the league, it is wherever the gap forms between the "top" clubs and the "rest". This of course is dynamic based on in-game events.

Is there a reason to why the Red square is to the left of maguire and right to tuanzebe?
Direct from me: RW is red too near the far corner?

So ideally you're looking for a captain/professional role model and then 2/3 young wonderkids? Any idea of what bests works for numbers and how many?
That was just an example of which player you might want to learn from which. It's down to what characteristics you want to pass on. Mentoring groups have a minimum size of 3. I wouldn't recommend overloading them, but exact numbers is up to your preference/experience.

Thanks for your answers @fmFutbolManager
To add/clarify - Tutoring was unrealistic and exploitative. Part-based on real world advice and part-based on gameplay we moved to replace it with Mentoring.
Players must be in the same squad to mentor one another. Having them simply train in the same Unit is not enough. Broadly, players can learn two things from others: on-field Player Traits and off-field Personalities. Training together can be enough for the former, but for the latter you need to spend more time together than just ~90 minutes in training each day. Further to this, first team players at a Champions League club will often find themselves away from the training ground for the majority of the week, whether it be playing mid-week matches, travelling, recovering or partaking in away matches. As such, for a player to actually learn from another they need to be in the same squad, on the same schedule, spending time together both on and off the training pitch. A youngster that is simply in the same training Unit as a senior player may struggle to actually spend enough time with that player.
The decision you need to make is this: Does my young player benefit more from training with his peers, on a training schedule that is likely more suited to his stage of development and his mapped out specifically around the U23 matches he is expected to play in but without much contact with the first team; or does he benefit more from being a part of the first team squad, training on a schedule that is not necessarily designed for him and being detached from the training/squad that he is expected to play for but spending time with experienced, senior players and learning from them. Of course, your decision is your own and situation dependent. The advice @Rashidi offers is promote only your most promising, most likely to be future first team players, to the senior squad, where they will benefit, leaving the rest to develop with their peers, where they are more suited. For a real life example, consider how Real Madrid have dealt with Odegaard, Vinicius, Rodrygo and the remainder of the youth/Castilla in their time so far.

I've never seen mentoring have a strong effect in the game as of yet, just leave it to assistant to organise but definitely gonna try it out this game further
20 hours ago, eencae said:It seems to be good for passing on traits quicker than training. However, you do need to be careful to not pass on the undesirable ones. On a Man Utd game I had, Pogba was a team leader so has a significant influence on his mentoring group. However, he ends up passing on 'Dwells on ball' and 'Shoots from distance', traits I consider to be negatives. Best to keep him out of groups in my view.
It is good when a professional, determined player can help to improve the determination stats of a younger player, hence helping them to reach their potential better, but hard to quantify the benefit.
Players will learn from others in the squad even outside of mentoring, this goes on all the time. However, mentoring is a way of focusing this. Want to encourage your wonderkid to learn from the club captain rather than another senior pro? Put them in the same mentoring group and it will bias him towards that player/s.

So the Leverkusen board wont let me sign Thilo Kehrer, a german player under 23, cause he`s not based in germany.
Is it supposed to be like this?
Leverkusens vision rightly enough says " sign players based in germany", along with "sign german players" and "sign under 23s" but come on. He fits two out of three.
Do you really think they care about the fact that Im buying him from PSG, and not Hertha Berlin?
Just 5 million pounds for one of the best german CBs, but nope. That wont do.
It seems rather funny

By the way, anyone managing in the Vanarama North/South this year are in for a treat in season 2. The league is being expanded to 24 teams, therefore 46 league games, and still only ONE automatic promotion place. Brutal. It leads to situations like this.
96 points, and still not enough to go up. Might still go up via playoffs, but my playoff record on FMs over the years has been awful. Doing a journeyman save and had a 3 year plan to get Altrincham to League 2 before I left, but I may well resign if we make a mess of the playoffs. I don't think I could go through another 46 game season in the bottom league.
They're certainly attritional, I kinda like it. I've always found the jump from VNC > L2 the toughest in English FM leagues. That might change this year.

I think my beta save was started before this as it doesn't obviously seem too off with these attributes, but is there a way to check what the game version was when the save began?
(I've updated several times since of course and now to the full game, so game status shows most recent, not what version I began with...)
Thanks!

Been playing since Beta, so the determination problem that has had a hot fix is not effected on my save?
Gotta say I am confuuuuuused
For any user with a save game started since the release of 20.1.0, we’re currently working on a further fix which we hope will address this in any pre-existing saves. For any user who started a save game prior to 20.1.0 your save game is unaffected.

Just now, craiigman said:
Just loaded up a save, the hot fix does appear to have worked. 16956 players in my database, 343 with 1 in determination. Just 4 with consistency of 1, 294 with 1 in important matches, 121 with versatility of 1. Not sure how to check the refs.
Refs are not affected by the attributes issue.

Referees in most leagues are broken because they either have 1 or 20 for discipline attributes which affects cards and penalties.
This is speculation. The ME team are reviewing.

For me this has always been a problem when we go into the future. Presumably newgens don't have determination set to the extent that players who start the game do, and thus you tend to get even the most talented players with lower determination that the players they replace. I might be wrong about that but that's how it has always seemed to me.
Present issue aside, the opposite has actually been the case in recent versions, especially before tutoring became mentoring.

But Seb with the new mentoring features this year, you can't mentor a player or "add the player to your mentoring group" unless he's on the Senior Squad. So a player that is less than 18 years old is not going to get that mentoring. Right?
More personality than mentoring. It's important throughout, but the earlier they obtain a positive personality (whether it be naturally or via mentoring) the better of course. Once you're loaning a player out, you have no control over that side. Players with poor personalities can of course still develop (in fact, the progression module is designed specifically in this way) but you're simply increasing your chances of a favourable outcome. Personalities shift based on in-game events, development and the people around the player, mentoring is simply a tool in which you can bias this last part.

Yes you know what I meant even though I’m spouting rubbish
yes the in-game editor - can it be add to beta saves?
Unless the option was selected to prevent it at game start (can be checked on 'FM > Game Status' page), I believe so yes.

Is the pre-game editor compatible for all saves including beta ones?
Do you mean the in-game editor? The pre-game editor can only be used before a save is started.

Broadly the best advice is this:
<18 training and mentoring are paramount, with match time important but secondary
18< match time is paramount, with training and mentoring important but secondary
Match time must be at an appropriate level for the player's ability

I would indeed argue that what have you described (appreciated) is that player being moved into the first team squad, which is one of the options within what we are trying to recreate.
Is there a difference or different process that you envisage here?
