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.

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

No, what it actually shows is just one way of playing the game. There are plenty of other threads and guides both in the Tactics forum and else where which show many other ways of playing the game 👍.
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

"Seems like most player attributes haven't been touched" Wondering what evidence you base that statement on? Does this apply to a specific team?
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
1 -
Seems like most player attributes haven't been touched which is a shame. Casemiro still has the same tackling as McTominay lol

This. The game really does need some big changes. FM 2023 is the first FM I didn't buy, nor I will waste my money on it. The transition from text only CM to 2D engine was WOW as you say. If I remember correctly, I also had that feel when they changed from Championship Manager to Football Manager.
Then in 2009 we got 3D ( which is still very poor ) but again, it was huge improvement.
If I am not wrong, after FM 2012, in FM 2013 they added collision to the match engine.Nowadays, to me, FM just looks like slightly updated skin, "we will update continue button from this
to this and it is ready to go"
( I know I am exaggerating but that is how I feel when I see new fm these days )
In recent years, instead of remembering big updates like before, what I remember the most is, ruined 2D engine in FM 2018 and ruined lightning in 3D engine. I simply can't believe they went backwards in case of both.
10 YEARS. 10 YEARS.
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

That's completing ignoring situational factors and going purely on ball, attacker and goal. Where is the keeper in this scenario, does he have a chance of stopping the shot, what about other defenders that might be on the line (less likely to stop the goal, sure, but still not impossible).
I'm also unsure how FM calculates xG, and what stats they are using and how they are using it.
To say it's an issue without knowing the inner workings of it and all the situational factors that the engine has considered, but not represented well graphically, seems over the top.
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

And what about the memes of players like Torres, Morata, Werner, Lukaku, Nunez, etc.. missing open goals from a yard out or just missing open goals in the box?
Just because a player is close to the goals, and the goal face is open, doesn't mean that they will 100% convert that chance.
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

To put some perspective on this, I believe a penalty in real life has an xG of about 0.76, and considering that is a stationary shot against a keeper with no consideration of defenders or attacking movement and all the other factors, 0.6 xG for a cut back is very high in open play.
It was, as I said, from a yard out. Into an open goal
0 -
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

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
2 -
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
1 -
The match stats tab on the left doesn't go away when a highlight happens so I can't see a significant part of the pitch. I've tried relaunching the game, reloading skin, installing a different skin etc but it nothing seems to work. Anyone else getting this?

The stay wider instruction on strikers and attacking midfielders continues to do the opposite of what it says. This bug has been in the game for years now. Reported it during the beta but no effect unfortunately
3 -
You actually can turn the ad boards off. Just delete the ads.fmf file in steamapps > common > Football Manager 2021 > data. Funnily enough you get non-animated boards with Football Manager 2008 written on them instead

Is that not the whole point of an attacking striker? Otherwise, how would I instruct my striker to stay up and wait for counters, if he dropped deep even on Attack duty?
If you want a striker to drop back, I think a PF-Su/De with Lower Line Of Engagement does that just fine.
The point is the AI don't use it properly so they often end up with two strikers sitting on the halfway line the whole game doing no defensive work. That doesn't happen in real life

Strikers on attack still not dropping back at all is very annoying. This is not how Premier League teams defend

Weird that Wan-Bissaka still doesn't have the dives into tackles player trait, there's no player it would suit more

ME seems much better but centre backs are still very reluctant to step into the opponent's half even when the ball is very close to their goal. Leaves a big gap between them and the midfield. Not very realistic, particularly for the top teams
1 -
Any solution to the lack of central chance creation? Any way in the in-game editor to make opposition defences not play ridiculously narrow every game?
1 -
Have they really just left the ME as it was? It's in an absolute state atm

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
