Football Manager 2024 Official Feedback Thread

Could one of you guys answer this for me instead seen as though I don't think any SI member is going to? It's a big factor in me deciding whether to start a new game or not. -

Tweaks to AI logic when evaluating whether to loan list young players Can an SI member of staff clarify more regarding this change? My biggest gripe has been the lack of development in young players with enormous potential sitting in their club's reserves for season after season. Has this change been seen to rectify the problem and to what degree? -

Still continuing to miss penalties at an alarming rate while struggling to save any at the other end. Here are some statistics from my current season to prove just how broken penalties are: Taken: Missed (penalty taking 13) Scored (15) Missed (15) Scored (15) Missed (11) Missed (16) Missed (16) Missed (16) Scored (16) Total: 3/9 Conceded: Scored (17) Scored (14) Scored (17) Total: 3/3 -

What is with penalties in this game?! I've missed four in a row with players of high penalty taking attitudes against poor keepers who have low morale. Ridiculous. -

This is also the same with senior internationals. Any chance of a hot fix to correct this matter? -

I'm now into my third season as Middlesbrough manager and overall I can now make an opinion that the game is simply average. The ME is ok. I have no major grievances with it. Some small improvements on FM23 but not a lot. The main issues I have that are well documented are the AI squad planning. Chelsea have one player out on loan for the 25/26 season. One! City have two. I use the in-game editor and the amount of young players with +160 PA but continue to sit in their club's reserves is crazy. United have a 21 year-old striker with 113 CA and 170 PA and hasn't played a competitive match in 15 months following on from a successful 6 month loan. His asking price is still £30m for some reason. Celtic have a midfielder with similar CA and PA and he has been limited to a handful of substitute appearances and yet isn't loan listed. His CA hasn't changed since he came back from his loan move a year ago. Brighton have a 21 year-old striker with a CA of 87 and PA of 156. Again no appearances, no loans (ever), but it'll take £28m to prise him away. Evan Ferguson, one of the best young players in the game has made 13 starts in two seasons. I get some young players in real life naturally don't fulfill their potential, but what I'm witnessing on FM24 is absolutely pathetic. Oh, and press conferences remain as bad as ever. Thanks for not bothering to improve that for the fifth+ year in a row despite widespread criticism from the SI community. Overall, this game is basically FM23 in a new fancy new box. -

I am also experiencing this problem. I'm dual manager of Middlesbrough and the Republic of Ireland U19s. Any time I load the game my tactics and set pieces for Ireland reset and I have to reload everything. No issues with my tactics for Boro. -

I find myself checking the forum daily in hope of an early release of the upcoming patch. I'm incredibly excited to begin a long term save as I've been itching to get going since the Beta. Thing is though I hold out very little hope the patch will fix things based on past experience. If that's the case and we're expected to wait for a full fix in March that will be me officially done with this game for good. I've lost count of how many versions I've only been able to start playing in March. Not again. -

This is absolutely appalling that I'm once again being made to wait for the game to be fixed before starting a long term save. It's the same cycle every year: 1) SI announce the launch date for the latest FM and so begins the list of new features and enhancements. Begin to get excited despite promising myself I wouldn't invest in another edition after all the issues last year. 2) Beta is released and the first couple of days feedback is positive. Match engine looks to be finally fixed. I go against my gut and pre order the game. 3) People start to notice the same bugs that have been around for the last few editions. Large criticism ensues on the forums regarding the match engine, AI, lack of improvements to international football, player unhappiness, etc. 4) Game is released on schedule. Large percentage of die hard players are in agreement it's no where near ready. I decide to wait for a patch before beginning my long term save, so I mess around with the editor in the meantime. 5) A minor patch is released but it does very little to improve the overall aspect of the game. 6) A larger patch is released just before Christmas. Some bugs have been fixed, others haven't, the game remains largely unplayable so again I decide to wait. 7) Another minor patch is released mid January. 8) It's now March and the main patch is released. The game isn't perfect but it's playable - 4 months after release. I finally get a chance to play knowing that there won't be any major updates that will disrupt my save. Begin to really enjoy it but disappointed it's taken this long. Hope SI have learned from this and the next edition will as good as the game is now with just some small cosmetic improvements. 9) Return to point number 1. *Please be the year the cycle is broken, SI. I really don't want to have to wait until March for the match engine to stop being tinkered with, and all the necessary bugs to be removed*
