The bottom line is stats are everything in modern football and FM has rightly given us stats in game. For them to be this broken so long after release is farcical. Fundamental to how many play, difficult to ignore even if you aren’t interested. As I said yesterday, you can’t take anything that works in this game for granted.

I have a thing for only playing teams from cities I’ve been to. I have an affinity for Poland and Krakow in particular so Wisla are on my list to play this year. But, as the issues around ratings and missing stats were still prevalent I started my only save so far with Widzew Łódź as a precursor to get to know the Polish leagues. I’ve played a season and a half and love the leagues.

This is almost worse than having a bad ME. You can’t “unsee” it once you notice the discrepancies. Sure plenty will ignore it but personally it devalues the game immeasurably for me.

It’s ironic that we got XG but they made a mess of so many of the other stats. I’m literally choosing to ignore them in my current save. I waited till the 2nd patch to start my first real save game. I should know better. I’d be grateful if someone from SI could help us understand why elements of the game that work occasionally go backwards. Often glaringly obvious errors too which compounds the frustration. It’s like you can literally never take anything that works for granted.

This was me too.....I’ve been doing well, I watch the games in full, they were playing well. And yet I’ve still been giving them hell..!!

Alright, we've all been there......you're deeply engrossed in your save and then you have to leave it for an extended period...!!!! In my case, it's a week away which I am looking forward to and very grateful for. However.......wouldn't it be great if there was a way to tinker with the tactics module and access your scouting pool remotely? It would make the downtime in trips and journeys productive....!!

Map anorak here too, I love em...... Would love to see detailed maps worked into the game around scouting, down to regional level and match days. Would increase immersion no end for me. I have posted about maps before, there doesn't seem to be as much enthusiasm for it as you'd hope. Also, lead to believe there are some issues around the amount of data and rights issues although I sure that could be worked around.

Take a minute to applaud the patience of people that offer advice in these threads....... saintly. 👏

I've never been fully convinced by the shortlist method and I realise we all do things slightly differently but a couple of relatively simple tweaks would improve it considerably. 1. Allow me to save and import my complete shortlist structure. 2. Allow me to prioritise the order of a shortlist. 3. Give me the ability to assign a scout to a particular shortlist - He can then work his way through them in my desired order. 4. Allow me to add a player to a shortlist for a period of time, for instance until he is 19 years old, then move to another shortlist automatically. 5

I am also getting frustrated with this but slightly different circumstances. In Polish Liga I, money a little tight but I'm able to get half decent looking players to trial for 4 weeks only to get that same response - "my client is willing to consider joining the club in general, but he feels that the club lacks the financial muscle to be able to meet his contract demands" Why bother joining on trial, why not establish the region of wage demands before. To add insult to injury I actually can afford their wage demands. The response is fair enough if there is a gulf between the pl

Unfortunately the oldest of my rolling saves is just after the window closed. I believe from memory the meeting happens around a week before. I'm pretty sure it fed me the same suggestions at the start of the game so I might see what happens with a new save setup the same.

Playing as Widzew Lodz in the Polish Fortuna I Liga. My Recruitment meeting consisted only of South American (mostly Argentina) suggestions. Suggestions with almost no attribute stats so how they could even be recommended I don't know. Beyond that, any request for suggestions from my DOF brings up only South American players. The DOF has no knowledge of any country other than Poland. None of the players raised in these searches seem to be known to my club as they don't appear on a regular player search. Thoughts?

Hey SI people. I posted yesterday in the feedback thread. I feel it needs raising here as I feel its broken. I like the format, but can someone explain why its so disjointed in terms of the suggestions. Surely, the players put forward by the staff in this meeting should in the main align with specific requirements of your club vision/culture? For example, If the board want me to sign players under 23 why am I looking at 10 suggestions in this meeting all over 30? Not to mention players you can't afford or whos wage demands you'll never be able to meet. There's no logic to it an

The initial meeting should be to agree your criteria, the club suggesting it's stance based on vision and culture, you looking to add the finer detail within that framework. That could be followed up with any suggestions that meet those criteria if the clubs scouting network has existing knowledge of anyone. It could be embellished further by the manager or DOF making suggestions on geographical areas to concentrate on, areas where they believe there is greater "value for money" for example. Beyond that the meeting can largely follow the new format but it must be relevant or it

Such a positive addition but at the moment its a missed opportunity. I like the format, but can someone at SI tell me why its so disjointed in terms of the suggestions. Surely, the players put forward by the staff in this meeting should in the main align with specific requirements of your club vision/culture? For example, If the board want me to sign players under 23 why am I looking at 10 suggestions in this meeting all over 30? Not to mention players you can't afford or whos wage demands you'll never be able to meet. There's no logic to it and it kills immersion. Likewise it would
