oohlala111 started following VAR never reverses a penalty decision , ridiculous contract demands , shout reactions appear to be based on aggregate scoreline? and 5 others

Olivier Giroud, 37 years old on £74,000 p/w, is suddenly demanding a new contract worth £130,000, which is almost double his current salary and would make him by far the 2nd highest paid player at the club. Half of my club is unhappy because I am yet to offer him a new contract, but how is this demand reasonable?

shout reactions appear to be based on aggregate scoreline?
oohlala111 posted an issue in Player Behaviour
During the second leg of my Europa League RO16 tie with Villarreal, with the scores locked at 0-0 (with us winning 2-0 on aggregate), I hit 'encourage' and a few players were frustrated by it. That usually gives a positive reaction if drawing, especially in a tough away game. I tried instead to praise at 1-1 (3-1 aggregate), and immediately they were all very happy. Then, when I demanded more at 2-1 down (3-2 aggregate), they were all mad at me again. Therefore, I think reactions to shouts seem to be based on the overall aggregate scoreline and not the specific match in question? I believe this also applies to half-time and full-time team talks but I haven't tested that. Also, on an entirely unrelated note but just while I'm here, I'm fed up of the mistakes my goalkeeper makes while trying to claim crosses in particular while the AI goalkeeper never makes such mistakes, but that's a whole other issue. -
Following the conclusion of my World Cup 2026 qualifying campaign with Singapore, I definitely achieved the Singapore FA's goal, which was to "Be competitive" - I missed out on a spot in the next round on goal difference, and against two superior opponents in Uzbekistan and Saudi Arabia. However, I then got an email from the Singapore FA telling me that while they were pleased we were competitive, they warned me that they'll be searching for my replacement if performances don't improve? We drew with both Saudi Arabia and Uzbekistan and narrowly missed out. Furthermore, even though they are apparently "pleased", how come their happiness with my performance in the qualifiers is only 45%? I don't understand what more they could've expected of me, especially when I certainly met their targets. I've attached images of the table, confidence, and email assessing my performance.

unrealistic player wage demands
oohlala111 commented on oohlala111's issue in Transfers and Contracts
The save file I uploaded for another issue called 'freiburg press conference.fm' is before this, albeit in November I believe, if that works? I don't think I have any saves closer to the date of the tallks breaking down. -
unrealistic player wage demands
oohlala111 commented on oohlala111's issue in Transfers and Contracts
sorry, the file uploaded bit should say 'freiburg beta contract demands.fm' -
Why do my players suddenly demand ridiculously high wage increases when I want to sign them onto new deals? Just for example, Nils Petersen is on £9,000 per week, but when I went to enter negotiations with him, he wanted £40k and wouldn't negotiate even down to £33k, which is the maximum that I could offer him. As a result, he will leave on a free transfer instead. How is it realistic for a 34 year old player to demand a wage hike of almost 350%? I've had this problem with other players too - as another example, Roland Sallai demanded a wage of £28,000 per week, whereas I believe beforehand, he was on about £12,000 per week. These massive demands aren't just irritating, but damaging for player morale when I'm unable to meet contract demands, and for the club when pre-contracts are offered to all the players I'm simply unable to afford to keep. I've uploaded my save file under the name 'freiburg beta contract demands'. Thanks in advance.

Both the National League North and National League South 2022-23 playoff finals were held at 15:00 on Saturday 13th May 2023 at Wembley. This is incorrect on two accounts as playoff finals at this level are held at the ground of the highest-placed team, and two games shouldn't be taking place at the same stadium simultaneously.

I agree entirely, long/through balls especially are just completely unrealistic and result in predictable chance/goal after predictable chance/goal. Makes no difference what tactic you use or which players you use either. FM23 as a whole is a game I'm enjoying, but the match engine in the beta is so much worse than FM22 it's unbelievable.

It shouldn't do, there's definitely grounds with a capacity lower than that in the national league north/south in real life this season

bournemouth timestamps - 19:20, 31:50, 86:15 qarabag timestamps - 46:52, 63:46 newcastle timestamps - 03:46, 08:57, 41:04 leeds timestamps - 25:01, 62:13, 76:01 I couldn't scan through and find every single instance of this happening but I tried to find a few games where I noticed it on multiple occasions. Obviously things like this do happen in football, including at the top level. I just thought that it happens more than it should, particularly where CB reactions are just a bit too slow for my liking (or where they even run away from the threat in a couple of instances.)
