As the opposing fans in Spain says about Real, Así gana el Madrid, loosely translates to "this is how madrid wins". If SI are gonna incorporate the shady transfers Real gets through for sake of realism they gonna have to incorporate the lawsuits and criminal court cases that follows too?

This. Its been like this for a pretty long time, Martin Ødegaard comes to mind when Real Madrid hired his dad as a youth coach, who, AFAIK didn't speak a word spanish at the time. This was back in 2015.

The conspiracy theory was that SI includes game breaking mechanisms into FM on purpose so you will buy the next edition as well. Think you need more than a patch to adjust that kinda thought..

You still on about that nonsense? After refusing to answer or even aknowledge this obvious question:

this, yes, its what I've been trying to say. You can have your tactic set as the one with 2 CBs for 6 days and 22hrs every week, and then use the 3 CB formation 2 hrs every week only during the match. Primary trained tactic under Training tab can be set to anyone you want despite what tactic is being shown under the tactic screen. BTW, when I set a 3CB tactic my team wants 5 CBs, not 6 like yours. So its not set in stone.

you can choose that under training unrelated to which of the 3 tactics you use.

You can promote reserve players to the senior squad, or if nothing else works just leave the tactic screen being your 2CB tactic through the week and change it to the prefered 3 CB one on match day.

watch their concern change immediately as you change your tactic from the one with 2 CBs to the one with 3!

Likewise

The game isn't scripted against you. It can be frustrating indeed! But each football match is a simulation of 100s of factors and variables, its not a scripted story.

Seems like OP is long gone, but I dont understand his logic here. Its not the valuation guide that has caused issues in his dressing room, its the simple fact his GK wasn't allowed a move to a bigger club. Lazio is just playing the game here, unsettling him with low bids waiting for him to kick up a fuzz in burnley. OP might see burnely as a well established PL club now, but clearly his in-game football world does not. Might suggest that both your GK and Lazio dont see you as an established PL team. If you were a top club things would look very different I'm sure.

Those two are in no way mutually exclusive. Also, if a non-partner got cd keys cheaper than the official publishers its obviously because of dirty deeds.

Just to make sure we're talking about the same thing - The option to add "buying team pays x amount wages" and then choose remove it and exclude from negotiation? IDK why it works like that, just stumbled onto the same problem myself and this is the solution I've found - given that we're talking abuot the same thing of course

you need an initial offer first in order to exclude any clauses AFAIK, try to set it to 5% and hardlock it, and then try exclude from the oncoming negotiations. That way they cant hardlock 50% first.

This. If you play out from the back f.ex., and the ball ends up on either side of the pitch your playmakers will drift to that side to offer a short passing option, it very easily gets congested, playmakers often gets man marked and you've effectively set yourself in a sideways pressing trap where the only option is to hoof the ball to the opposite winger or your striker.

So Lazio could have asked his agent if he's willing to move, your GK said yes and Lazio knew he would throw a fit if you rejected their bid for him. If your GK didnt care about the rejected bid it would've been higher - to sway you to sell rather than sway the GK to move. If I was Lazio, I would do the same thing. BTW, the game takes quite some time to recognize your success, and see your team as being "permanently" improved rather than just an overachieveing Burnley that could go on a slump at any time. If you had the same GK in City,Pool etc his price would be higher, naturally, but for the game to recognize burnley as a true contender to city,pool etc takes a long time, the game doesnt seem made for instant fast success, its meant for you to take a loooong time to become a genuine PL contender and not just this seasons Leicester.

and these players are all 1st team players, located in and training with your 1st team? I've noticed if you add a reserve team player to your 1st team training through the training - units menu they get measured on 1st team appearances and not reserve team. If thats not your case you really should post it in the bugtracker.

download the files, put them in C:\User\my documents\football manager 2023\editor data (create the editor data file if it doesnt already exist) then you add or remove the files when you start a new game, they appear under the database choice.

Ah, good to hear, I must have misunderstood you then, I thought you meant SI kept telling themselves that we the players dont care about graphics, which is the opposite of what I've heard from them over the years. I havent heard any different since 2018 either, that they now dont care about graphics, which is why I asked if you had seen any comments or had a source.

I know he said FM, but FM doesn't make FM, SI does.

You could also try the opposite, lure the opposition out of their defence. If they just sit back, and you push most your players forward on an attacking mentality you just create a clusterf*ck of players being in the way. I'd say you want the opposite, more supporting roles, force them to come out of their lines and close you down, have attacking players doing opposite movements, strikers coming deep while AMC running forward etc. You can also try something as simple as a support-role for a lone striker and have wide men cut in on attacking duties, a lone AF trying to run in behind a low defence where 21 of 22 players is in or around the oppositions 18yrd box is an impossible task.

You sound more and more like a sore loser venting some frustration over the game, you didn't even try to answer the question, why would SI go to lengths and spend time making the game treat humans different than the AI and then lie about it because people wouldn't buy the game if they knew it was done. It makes absolutely no sense.

Wait what? When did SI say this? Do you have a source for that? It's a complete 180 from what I've always heard them say in public Miles Jacobson to fourfourtwo: "In an ideal world, I would like to not be able to tell the difference between a game of football on TV, and a game of football within Football Manager. I would like it to be playing on a holographic on a table in front of you. I would like some kind of deep AI learning, rather than just having multiple-choice answers for press conferences, so you could say whatever you wanted to and the journalist would be able to react." https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/miles-jacobson-how-we-make-football-manager-future-and-where-you-come-it

Sounds weird indeed, are those starts and subs in the league or mostly cups? You should raise a ticket in the bugtracker!

The game developers have clearly stated that the game does NOT differentiate between human and AI players. To believe they lie to you to hide the truth makes you a conspiracy-theorist by definition.
