Good to see SI publicly address the issues with the game but it does seem strange that two of them, transfer AI and player interaction, were advertised a selling points for the game

Really brilliant changes as far as I can tell. Adds depth, increases accessibility and decreases micromanagement all at once. Good job SI

This looks brilliant. Players actually understanding the positioning of their teammates and adapting to it is a big step forward.

Very poor to leave a major bug in the game. I shouldn't have to wait 3 months and pay another £35 just to make regens have different names. You're perfectly capable of fixing it (I can't imagine it's that complex a fix given that it was working fine before), you've just decided not to

Just asking again if there's no way to fix this. Is ruining my save

The newgen name bug is a major issue and needs to be fixed. SI's policy of just giving up on patching their games after a certain time period isn't justifiable

So there's no way to fix it except wait for and buy FM24 and hope it's fixed by then? Seems quite poor for what is a pretty major bug

Obviously there's loads of ways you can play the game because it's not actually very hard. But pace being incredibly overpowered is still an issue

This thread is pretty mad. Shows that pace is not that far away from being the only thing that matters in the match engine. Hope we'll get a more realistic ME one day https://community.sigames.com/forums/topic/575222-pace-is-king-and-mentalstechnicals-dont-matter-how-to-overachieve-by-using-pace-merchants/#comment-14020016

I started a new save and looked at player attributes for a bit, feel like you should have been able to work that out for yourself. Some people on this forum get weirdly defensive of SI when they get even the most minor criticism

Seems like most player attributes haven't been touched which is a shame. Casemiro still has the same tackling as McTominay lol

It's really awful when you see the comparisons side by side. I don't mind slow improvements year to year but it shouldn't be too much to ask for the game to not get worse. 2D is even worse now than it was in that FM20 screenshot, in particular the flashing banner ads around the pitch that are very difficult to get rid of

Some really bizarre mental gymnastics here. An open goal from a yard out should have a higher xg than a penalty. The fact it doesn't in my experience shows there is an issue. It's that simple

I'm aware it happens. But players don't miss from a yard out 40% of the time. Therefore in my experience there's an issue with xg in this game

It was, as I said, from a yard out. Into an open goal

The way xg is calculated remains broken again this year. One of my players scored from a cut back from a yard out and it was only given 0.6 xg. Feels like this is done deliberately to hide unrealistically high chance creation and unrealistically poor finishing

The ball physics need a lot of work, specifically curled shots and passes. Look at this free kick for example https://youtu.be/EGEVeJyWBMo?t=1266

Think it's worth emphasising how much effort SI have put into forcing users to see ads in the ME. You used to be able to avoid them by playing in 2D, SI stopped that. You used to be able to turn them off by lowering your graphic settings, SI stopped that. You used to be able to disable them by deleting the ads.fmf file, SI stopped that. You used to be able to download ad board patches, SI contacted sortioutsi and others and ordered them to remove the files. SI are deliberately worsening the user experience so that they can earn money from ad revenue, off the back of paying customers. It's unacceptable .

How do I get rid of the animated ad boards during games? I play in 2D which means you're shown every single ad board at once throughout the game, which can be incredibly distracting when they're constantly changing. It's the equivalent of flashing banner ads except it's a game that I've paid £30 for. There used to be no ads at all in 2D, SI changed that. You used to be able to lower your graphic settings to get rid of them, SI changed that. You used to be able to delete a file to get rid of them, SI changed that so the game now crashes instead. Now I've tried changing the stadiums in the pre-game editor to uncheck the digital ad boards box but that makes no difference. It's very frustrating - I want to be able to focus on the match, not generate ad revenue for SI

Disappointed that you can no longer get rid of the in-game ads afaik. In 2D since you can see them all at once they essentially become flashing banner ads surrounding the pitch. I don't want this in something I paid £40 for
