Novem9

Does this sound like giving up the desire to dominate and control the ball? Interesting note. In FM22 I didn’t have any big problems with this, and WB(a) was one of the best assistants. What do you recommend to fix the stability? P.S. Lost in translation. Do you mean 'right on' as use overlap on IFB flank or 'right on' as use overlap on the right flank?

I will add that despite the bright wow effect and progress of the match engine, I am glad that this is a beta version. ME definitely has a vibe of FM23. The behavior of F9 looks less complex than in FM22. Now this is closer to DLF than to a solo striker, which can solve a lot of things. MEZ looks more chaotic and not as effective. I hope SI will have time to make a necessary changes for the release version. Unfortunately, it is difficult for me to describe and focus on specific examples. It feels a little too fluid when judging any match as a whole. Big teams are too soft, and weaker ones are fraught with surprises even for themselves. The feeling is teams with positive or attacking mentality ignore instructions such as short passing or work ball into box. Priority is shots and moving forward. This makes some sense, but I don't feel the difference between 433 possession and 4231dm direct attacks

A foreigner may not want to exchange a league newcomer for a club in the capital? I don’t know if you played earlier FM, but 6-8 years ago there was real randomness in the case of managers signing. It's much more authentic now.

Many non-top teams have too much possession (average). Bologna 54%, Monza 57% (wingplay 3CB lol) I think they should push the ball forward more than play backward passes. These types of passes should be intercepted more often by opposition

This is the first time I've seen this kind of direct goal from free kick in FM. It scored in the corner, which was covered by the goalkeeper.

Yes, that sounds reasonable

I simulated save on 104k database (17 leagues in 7 countries + many advanced players by national/continental rep). Its season 2030/31 in this moment. I'm glad to see big clubs give a chance for newgens: Loans for young players look more active too. Some players still have no official games in 21 years. But there are definitely fewer of them. Moreover, their attributes are not hopeless. I don’t have the opportunity to check their CA/PA yet. Teams try to keep balance between young players and veterans. It seems much better average age in general. I play a journeyman and it will be difficult for me to return to FM22. There I had to improve squad for 2-3 seasons. In most clubs that I have checked in this simulation, at first glance the teams need minimal or no changes in squad. Diversity of winners in eurocups and national leagues. Even in the Bundesliga there is no hegemony of one club. Only Paris, but they are very strong and have won the Champions League twice. Newgens atributes realistic. At least more realistic than before Youth teams don't have the same number of older players as before Sponsopships are more fluid. I feel succesful clubs have better contracts. Not only Premier League clubs have a huge sponsopship AI clubs have better chance for hold positions after promotions. At the same time, clubs look more stable from season to season. I mean, it's become more consistent. Newgens grow much faster. I like this, because in FM22 it was slowly imo. This looks like FM21 times, but more balanced. Very important for long saves! Finances/balance looks fine. Some clubs are rich, some have any issues with balance. I don’t see billions on the balance of some (hello, Dortmund and Bayern) and a deep minus for others. Strange things. Clubs like Benfica/Ajax spend a lot of money on salaries. Ajax - 7mln p/a for Star Player. Benfica 11 mln (!) for Bakayoko, 9 mln for Zaniolo, 9.6 mln for Vitinha, 9 mln for Gakpo. I'm not sure if this is what the Portuguese club want to do. Barcelona has two GK, they have the lowest salaries in the first team. Ter Stegen finished career and Barca just forgot to buy a new top GK. Bayern Munich wage budget. The same for Madrid, Chelsea, Arsenal. Who knows how it will be in 2030, but I want to see any reasonable limit, AI wage gap for this. Talking about gap, not sure La Liga salary gap works fine in FM24. It seems to me that club salaries should be higher. But need feedback from other players This hair is... weird? It's hard for me to say how often I saw this. But it definitely catches your eye. And it seems like this hair everywhere. David Luiz and Collocini had a rather rare hairstyle. FM24 risks becoming a lion's mane meme. Really, we deserve better newgens faces

Although modern children have problems with clip thinking, one gets the feeling that the concentration of newgens is lower than default players even in adulthood?

I'm a little surprised by the discussion about GK injuries. In FM22 they get injured relatively often for me. In one of the last saves, I bought an equivalent goalkeeper simply because the first one went to the infirmary as if it were a job Moreover, I had save where two goalkeepers were injured in autumn of the first season. I was shocked. I had to take young GK with very low quality... who was also injured. Fortunately, he was able to play with the injury. I didn't leave any screenshots, but this is not something that can be invented on purpose. Although I have had outstanding seasons where the number of injuries was minimal, especially when it comes to serious injuries. But in general, I’m used to scenarios being completely different. Therefore, most of the comments that this has become worse in FM24 are questionable - similar scenarios have occurred before. The whole question is how permanent they are.

It worked fine until fm21

omg this is literally what asked for This is transfer of NEW season, which added as transfer of PREV season

Not sure what exactly you showed here. It's still broken: Considering that this bug is already 4 years old, it's just a shame

Cool! Is it possible to view this widget at will?

Some of those fantasies that I closed my eyes to in FM became a reality a few years later

I see this all the time since I play journeyman saves. Transfers have become better than during FM17-18 and earlier. But the development of young players is depressing. There are many talented newgens who never reached their potential due to lack of playing practice. If this is not improved in FM24, then I could stay on FM22

Not without it By the way, this tactic is also good in FM21. I think an issue is that the new FM has changed tactical instructions out of possession. Unfortunately, I don't really understand these new instructions, maybe the key is here

It was in FM22. Tactic was really powerful and beautiful: I tried to adapt this for FM24: But now this not only gives worse results, but in a conditional half of cases the possession is either slightly higher than the opponent, or even lower. Any advices how to improve this tactic in FM24 please!

This window or something else?

Theo Hernandez scored few goals by direct frekicks in my team. It was beautiful

I have problems with ball possession. My team dominated, but possession is 44-49% in some games. Similar tactic gave me ~59-70% (and even more) in FM22. Imo reason of this - a lot of passing in defensive half. It's better in compare of prev FMs, because AI tries to find way to attack by this type of passing now. The main problem is that if your club vision includes ball possession, you may fail. In addition, this type of possession for non-top level teams should be punished by a large number of defective passes. But it's interesting to hear opinions of other members, maybe I need to rethink my tactic a little (there are no exploits in it, but still)

Good point. FM directs our attention to corners. IRL we don’t watch closely to corners unless it’s end of a match in which your team needs to score a goal

I need to remember this

Checked right now, all works correctly for me. Do you use old filters?

Someone asked about mistakes in passing. Check it out, both teams are aggressive and make mistakes. Supporters in 3D are terrible. I make an effort not to look at them, the contrast with the footballers is incomparable. Especially a nearest tribune, when they are visible from the back/side
