Pretty much, plus getting all the licensors (K League, J League, and the dozen plus others) to sign it all off.

FM, however, doesn't solely have the European leagues, and have a lot more national leagues and international/continental competitions to take into account than the likes of FIFA.

Have you tried making sure the file is on the actual PC, rather than the cloud? Looks like it's freezing because of trying to download the tactic file.

Yep, this is exactly what I use, but then people who are at high injury risk or higher I'll give an ad hoc rest day to, so they keep fit.

Easily managing to get from National Leagues North or South into the National League proper - it's so easy to mess up one or two games, and then end up either having to fight through play-offs, or just be outside the top teams, and then you have to go through it all over again.

Mostly because they have no interest in getting sued by a club or player, and impacting the goodwill they have with a number of clubs, on top of the likely issues it'd raise with licensing.

There's no chance they'd go back to an old game to fix it, when the AI doesn't use it and all the player needs to do is not use it either.

When it's FIFA that banned performance-based fines for all football carried out under its purview (so all league and international football), yes.

Given this is discussing a third party unofficial app, please go and ask the developer for that app how to resolve issues following updates to the game.

Plus, SI are very approachable about this stuff if it's genuinely seeking to help or highlight an issue. Hell, Chesnoid (Twitch & Youtube streamer) had, in his Cambridge save, all 3 of his goalkeepers get 3 week-3 month injuries in the span of a week in-game, and since this was after the patch to fix GK injuries, he sent his save over to SI to check whether it was just pure bad luck that it'd happened, or if it was an issue of the fix not doing enough. Ended up with him just being unlucky (one got injured in a match, the other got injured in training, and the third had low sharpness and hurt himself in a match), but SI were more than happy to check to ensure it wasn't a bug resurfacing after they thought they'd squashed it, and he doesn't have a super pinky-promise close relationship with SI.

Plus, having seen how critical Rashidi is of tactical and match engine side issues when they seem to be counter to how either the tooltips present them or how they behave IRL, I know full well he isn't wanting to protect SI - he's wanting FM to be better. Part of that is by providing passionate constructive criticism where it is due, and part of that is seeking to highlight where people have things wrong so they're more aware of how the system does work, and therefore aid them in providing better criticism and data to help the game.

Yes - because I'm playing a relatively non-pressing version of the 4-3-3 DM wide, mostly pulling back when out of possession to make it hard for them to advance, and I'm absolutely destroying teams that are doing gegenpressing, because I'm making them do all the work and then catching them on the counter. It's no where near as overpowered as it was previously, and with the injury levels more realistic this year, you soon realise you can't push your players that hard constantly without frequently having them get hurt either in matches or in training.

Are you sure that it's not the maximum amount of non-EU players in the matchday squad that is changing? Because currently, you can have 5 non-EU registered for the team, and only 3 in the matchday squad. It's all part of Spain transitioning to focus more on Spanish/European players, given they previously had a tendency to bring in lots of South American players and, like a number of other European countries, didn't do as great a job with ensuring their own nationals got to a high level to benefit the national team. Even so, it's not a massive issue - you bring in great 18 year old South American players, let them play either in the B team, with another Spanish club, or in your 1st team if they're that good, and after 2 years they'll hopefully take Spanish citizenship and won't count against the limit anymore.

Also, make sure you're not looking at the database version - that's different to the game version.

Just FYI, none of that was changed, it was basically fixes for set pieces and the GK not missing backpasses tonnes. Additionally, there is 0% chance that you have played anywhere near enough games since the patch to be able to categorically say that the entire ME has been changed.
