This is one of the worst aspects of the new UI.
Have to pause the match, turn up my brightness, squint, THEN I can see where the opposition attacks from! Its the same story for the other menus if either team wears a dark kit, add something to differentiate it please. Such a small thing makes a big difference.
If you could grab that example and post it here please - https://community.sigames.com/forum/803-user-interface/ - we can investigate amending it.

Why would Baba Rahman and to a lesser extent, Danny Drinkwater and Andreas Christensen, be influential members of the Chelsea squad?
Also, Kai Havertz is listed under other players whislt all other summer signings are influential members? Is this normal?
This would likely be better placed here - https://community.sigames.com/forum/807-dynamics-interactions-press-conferences-and-meetings/

Just a heads up that there are a few things to be finalised on the Leeds United side, such as incomplete attribute profiles on younger players.
Leeds updates have now been finalised and submitted to @Pete Sottrel. You'll likely see these at release.
Cheers for the input all.

Leeds United:
I'm just typing as I go through this so apologies for the...carelessness...of how it's formatted.
Other rivals listed: I can see Sheffield Wednesday, Bradford, Sheffield United and Huddersfield listed as local rivals. They are local games but I'd only really class Bradford as a local rival or rather, as one of the local rivals Leeds class as a rival. Huddersfield is very much a case of them hating us and us...having no idea why (!) and not caring about them, Wednesday is a game with a bit more of an edge to it but I don't think many Leeds fans would class them as a rival as such and Sheffield United, there's never really been a rivalry other than a competitive rivalry for a few games in Bielsa's first season. I suppose it does come down to your interpretation of it all - for me they, Bradford aside, are local games rather than local rivals. I'd also dispute Derby being listed as a historic rival. Barring the molehill that was made into a mountain by the media (Spygate) and Lampard celebrating a play-off final win more than the birth of his kids, there's no real needle there. They fall into that sort of weird...chasm...with other teams that try and drag us into having a rivalry with them when really, we don't feel it back, they were just the obstacle fate handed to us in our quest for promotion.
Listed Icons: John Lukic and Ian Harte aren't really classed as icons. Icons is generally seen as a step down from Legends and I don't think they're revered enough at Elland Road. Giles, Clarke, Strachan and the others all fall into that category but those two just don't. In fact, Harte has had a number of spats with fans over him trying to change the culture in the youth side as he's an agent and has/has had a few players within those youth teams that are on his books. Suggestions: Pablo Hernandez (upgraded from favoured personnel), Nigel Martyn, Tony Yeboah, Bobby Collins.
Number of Season Ticket holders: needs to change from 18,250 to 23,000 - as per the club's Season Ticket FAQ - https://www.leedsunited.com/seasontickets/faq
Liam Cooper information: It's got him down as a Leeds supporter. However, this was looked into by a Hull fan as he'd made a similar claim there: https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liam-cooper-makes-more-leeds-4036935
Abilities:
Ayling - Composure, First Touch, Passing all to be boosted by 1? He's rarely troubled on that right hand side, gets forward constantly, has always looked competent in possession since being here and formed brilliant link ups on the right with Hernandez over the last few seasons.
Struijk - Personality to change to - if there is one - quiet? Phil Hay from The Athletic noted him as a quiet type in an article he did on him and you can see he's a bit shy in his demeanour.
Dallas - Composure definitely needs boosting, he's another that never appears troubled. I'd say his passing and first touch could do with reviewing and perhaps his agility too.
Phillips - Composure also needs a boost. He's the key part of the team, takes on so much and very rarely does he appear to suffer with it. I'd perhaps say the same about his positioning too - he's always in the right place at the right time.
Klich - Concentration and Decisions to be boosted by 1? His role is vital as he takes on such a wide variety of different on-field tasks and is constantly having to be switched on. Never really looks like he drifts out of game and is always one that appears to make the right decisions.
Harrison - Concentration to be boosted by 2? I've watched him over the past few seasons and he picks up a lot of defensive work whether that's pressing the opposition high or getting back to help out or whether it's him constantly being an option to receive the ball and being ready to create a focus to distract an opposition player and allow space for an overload. He works his cojones off and is dedicated to his role in the team.
Bamford - Composure to be boosted? I know he's had his moments over the last few seasons but he's started this season like a house on fire and that's no fluke.
I'd also maybe change the expectation this season to either a bottom-half finish or avoid relegation. I know after 16 years away from the PL we don't want to end up trying to get into it again and the expectation among many is to avoid relegation and see what happens from there.
Happy to discuss these further - that's literally all I can see from going through things so well done to whoever did the Leeds details etc.
Missed this one before now, apologies.
Some changes have been made since, see how these are when you get them
A number of the attributes changes you suggest here have not been made, although there are some tweaks made after considering this, other feedback and the roles we need these players to perform. Generally, you seem to be arguing for a better squad and specifically better Composure. I'm content with where these are pitched currently, and whilst I acknowledge I can sometimes be a relatively harsh researcher, perhaps we just have some subjective differences here as we don't seem criminally far apart in our assessments?
On the Icons - Harte is actually rated lower than Pablo but because he is "permanent" he is coming out as an Icon to Pablo's Favoured. I've not made Hernandez permanent as there should be room for him to do something in the future that changes how Leeds fans feel about him. To better reflect Harte, I have also removed his permanent status. Additionally, for your reference Lukic is 14, Strachan 15, Clarke 16 and Giles 19.

Kev has missed 2 pens for me already this season and spends a lot of time injured.
10/10 realism, would buy again.
On a serious note, I'm seeing a greater prevalence of goals where the goalkeeper or defender tries to clear the ball and it hits and attacker and rebounds in. I have a match saved where the Ajax keeper kicked it out of his hands right at Aguero and it deflected in. It's happened three times in about 20 games or so. Worth a bug report or is that pretty much average?
Worth posting up here, especially if you are able to provide that saved match - https://community.sigames.com/forum/776-match-engine-ai-and-tactics/ - even if it just means we can investigate and confirm it to be occurring at an expected rate.

@Seb Wassell, is there any reason why we can't access the tactics screen from the half time analysis view? You need to go to the dressing room to access tactics and by that point, you can't get back to the analysis screen. I like to be able to pinpoint areas to tweak, but I'm now having to note them manually as I can't flip between analysis and tactics. (I also concede I may be missing something obvious)
Worth posting that here - https://community.sigames.com/forum/803-user-interface/ - being able to access the analysis from the HT Tactics page seems sensible.@Dagenham_Dave Having just checked with the team, this is on our radar already

There are a number of pieces of advice, analysis and stats available during the match, mostly contained under the Touchline Tablet, that a manager has access to in-play, but some of the most powerful tools are not accessible until certain points. This change was made to better recreate what a real manager would have available on match day and bring you closer to that experience.
To answer OP specifically, items such as Average Position are contained within the Chalkboard, which is now only available at Half and Full Time. Select the "Analysis" and "Stats" buttons during the Half or Full Time summaries to see the most detailed breakdowns.
We welcome feedback on this and the Match Day Experience as a whole, but we also acknowledge that change can sometimes simply take getting used to.
Please post any specific issues with, for example, the Touchline Tablet in their own separate threads in our bugs section - https://community.sigames.com/forum/770-football-manager-2021-early-access-beta-bugs-forum/

Just noticed De Bruyne, still basically has the same attributes as last season as well. Surely he should have been upgraded? His Strength, Passing, finishing, composure & dribbling stand out as being too low.
If I recall, KDB is the 3rd highest rated player in the entire game. Doesn't mean you're not right, but worth considering. Please post any data issues, crucially with solid evidence, here -

That's a fair point and I understand it completely. Will take some getting used to, but I'll get there.
However, I also hope you see how such tooltips where the true meaning is hidden in some abstract descriptions could be hard to understand for people whose first language isn't English.
...or maybe I'm just bad at socializing.
We do localise these for each language that the game supports. That certainly doesn't mean they'll be perfect - and please do post imperfect examples for us in the bugs area - but it should help

Did I win FM21?
Kinda surprised this already pops up after not even half a season. Especially when managing a club like Bayern, you'd think you'd have to show something a bit more spectacular than "do well in the league with the team expected to dominate the league".
Worth raising in our bugs section if you have the save please

Could be just me, but the tooltip doesn't add much clarity at all. I feel they could include more keywords such as "calmly", "aggressively", "passionately" etc., rather than tell me that an Outstretched Arms gesture will make me outstretch my arms. I end up not bothering with gestures at all, because having to slow down my workflow significantly to actually have a think about which gesture to use, just isn't my cup of tea. I know it's not that difficult, but text descriptions were much more intuitive and easier to understand (especially for non-English speakers). There's a thin line between making something more immersive and making it a chore.
We deliberately avoided using such adjectives so as to not confuse them with the old Tone system, which operated quite differently.
There are some keywords included in the description to help guide you when deciding how to act, such as "spread open arms wide in a disarming manner".

Is it just me or do shouts seem to have a more instant and clear effect on the team?
Indeed! We haven't just refreshed the list, we've reworked the reactions under the hood.
26 minutes ago, Rexel1892 said:- Automatically show the expected opposition formation prematch. The teamsheet looks great but it would be good if that section cycled between both graphics.
Seen this one mentioned a couple of times, so would just like to address it:
The TV style lineup (in formation) is only available for important televised matches or highlights watched on Comprehensive and above. The teamsheet style lineup is always shown as part of the pre-match flow and is what a Manager would actually receive in reality, where they have no knowledge of the opposition formation until the match kicks off and they/their staff can observe it (see the Touchline Tablet). Note that the TV formation is a best guess from the pundits and may not actually be how the team are going to lineup.

Hi, a few thoughts about Leeds players in the database:
Phillips - I know its very hard to get the stats right for a player as well rounded as Kalvin, but I do think his passing and positioning should be moved up to 14 (I'd argue tackling as well but maybe id be asking for too much haha). Kalvin is a superb passer of the ball, at both long and short distances. I know he has strong mentals to show this, but I think 13 is really selling his technique short. He has lower passing than Foreshaw and Bouy ffs. Kalvin's defensive positioning is one of his strongest assets, he's always in the right place. It's no coincidence our defence struggles massively without him. I think these stat changes would also help him suit the position he plays under Bielsa more. Right now, his stats look more suitable for a BBM, rather than the dm role he plays at Leeds. He should be a good cm, but should be strongest when playing as a dm. His recent England appearances reflect how much better he plays as a lone pivot, rather than in a 2 man midfield. I'd also suggest his corners be lowered - they are pretty awful tbh. If his stats need to be balanced more, his dribbling could definitely be knocked down 1, it's pretty poor. Same for his agility and pace. Can't check the editor yet but his loyalty better be high, don't think I could handle the Yorkshire Pirlo leaving me.
I hear you. It's something I'm weighing up but at best these are minor tweaks and I want to be careful. If you're arguing for these attribute to be improved but him not to be improved overall, you'd also need to suggest some area to downgrade. Regarding his best role, it comes out as Half Back (DM), which I'd say is bang on.
1 hour ago, WhiteRosePirlo said:Bamford - Most of his stats are bang on - wouldn't even complain if his finishing dropped by 1. I do think his aggression and bravery should be increased though, the man is a ridiculously hard worker and a brilliant presser. I would have thought that these stats being low would weaken him in this area.
Llorente - We haven't had a chance to see him yet, but Sociedad fans seemed very happy to see him gone, so I'm surprised that he's arguably our best player behind Rodrigo. Maybe his stats need lowering a bit?
Strujik - I think his mentals should be lowered a bit. Looks very promising but seems to get lost when playing for the first team.
Klich - His marking and positioning should be higher than 7. He's one of our most well rounded players so I'm surprised to see how poor he looks defensively.
Rodrigo - not sure he should be a natural cm. I don't think anyone other than Bielsa has played him that deep - I may be wrong here though so please ignore me if in doubt
Also, only a minor thing, but I think we should be one of Victor Orta's favourite clubs. I've never seen such as passionate guy in the directors box lol.
Bamford - Hm that may be a fair shout. I've given him excellent attributes for the role you describe (such as Work Rate), but these two being so low could be an oversight.
Llorente - I've not really seen enough of him to make a reliable call. The Sociedad researcher will have set what he believe is appropriate and until we see him get some proper time in a Leeds shirt I'm content to go with that. One for a later update I think
Struijk - Could you elaborate/be a little more specific? From my observations I would argue that it his Technical game that is further behind, although his Mentals are not stellar, more solidly average.
Kilch - Klich's defensive work comes more in the press than traditional Marking/Positioning, which is reflected in his Work Rate, Stamina, Off The Ball, Anticipation, Bravery, Aggression, etc. and decent Tackling of 10. Would you still want these upgraded if it came at the cost of other attributes or resulted in him having to be made better overall?
Rodrigo - I agree. However, this is a call myself and @Pete Sottrel had to make in order to ensure Bamford was selected as ST by AI Bielsa. We have since found a better solution so you should see this updated for release.
Victor Orta - It's tempting, but do you not reckon he'd be like that for almost any club? He just seems to love life and love what he does. I'm not sure he could be any other way!

Managing Spurs & Joe Hart has a squad status of First Choice Goalkeeper - After 8 league games (all wins) he is complaining about a lack of starts. He started the 3 euro games. Should his status start as back up? Thanks
“I'm here to work as a team player, whether my name is on the team sheet or not it's a squad effort” - Joe Hart
Playing time (squad status) is set on the game side, so you'd either need to raise it as a gameplay bug or suggest a DB change that may help this, such as a lower CA.

A note for anyone wondering about FM20's Role Suitability circles becoming Role Ability stars in FM21:
‘Role Ability’ has replaced ‘Role Suitability’ to give a more accurate overall picture of how good a player is within in a role.
The old ‘Suitability’ circles only displayed how suited a player was to the role, starting at the top end with the full green circle for the players best role and working backwards from there. This lead to a number of misleading cases where players would show as having yellow/orange role icons for certain roles, when in fact, due to their general high ability and versatility, they would perform well in those roles.
The new ‘Role Ability’ stars solves this by factoring in the players general ability, as well as their suitability to the role, to give a much more accurate picture. By showing how good a player is within a role it also allows for the these stars to be used when comparing players for a certain role, whereas the previous icons were only relevant to that particular player.

Not sure about this as it decreases the need to scout a player? I don't attribute mask so it's already a bit easier for me, but now I can see every players star rating before I've even sent a scout. I don't think I should be able to see that without scouting.
Of course you should still get a scout report to understand hidden attributes etc.
This may be a bug, could you post it in our bugs section please?

I did notice though, noting I complained before about how fake gestures are, that if you hover over the gesture it tells you which 'tone' it used to be.
Having been responsible for the design of these I can assure you that none of the Gestures are simply a replacement for a Tone. There's 32 Gestures for a start!

I'm not sure if it was adjusted since the livestream, but considering a lot of people suggested that the xG felt rather high, did SI adjust it downwards? I feel like, aside from penalties, I haven't had a single chance that the game rated above 0.25 yet, despite shredding a non league team in my first cup round.
There have been a few tweaks since. A chance being scored higher than 0.3 is quite rare, 0.3 is often considered a "big" or "clear-cut" chance in many models. Penalties come out as roughly 0.75-0.8.

I'd be willing to put my neck on the line and say injuries are functioning as intended. This will likely be down to the players themselves, how you're managing them or simply luck.
