I personally wouldnt pay compensation fees if it could be avoided, it's a precarious position as it is

this is honestly the only "simulator" that I've played that operates which this degree of nebulous secrecy, and it's getting even more abstract and videogame-y every year.

The boxes could maybe be enlarged.
I like them though.
Literally all I'd ask for, keep the absurd abstract console friendly UI representation if you must, but let me enlarge the existing UI at least, it feels like I am back in 800x600 days with the amount unnecessary scrolling and menu clicking I have to do now.

I speak to my players a lot in my saves.
I dont know how you do it, it's awful this year. Same with the personal trait conversation window, so much wasted space, so much scrolling necessary to find the one item you wish to click on. I have a 4k display and I can't take advantage of any of it at all.

Hopefully unlike PDX SI will listen to longtime customers instead of selling out for new money0 -
This is giving me reason to put my save on hold

I do a lot by hand at the start and only begin delegating as I am able to hire the necessary staff (e.g. assistant manager with a personality/media-personality that I like) for the tasks required.

And being professional!
Excellent development on that guy, @thomas_e!
I didnt even see that, yeah those two would help immensely.
Speaking of change of scenery, started my yearly norway save, non-challenge tho. I will have champions league football in the arctic circle again

That 19 determination probably helped a lot eh

Overall a definitely successful season marred by poor consistency and major drops in form. I haven't moved away from the 451 because despite it all it is working to keep me me afloat but talent and age dictates eventually there will be two strikers up front unless something drastic happens. Financial outlook is positive, board continues to deny most of my requests but at least the players are happy and haven't thrown a spanner in the proverbial works as of yet.
I would love to have some defensive depth, whenever we missed players through injury or bans it was too high a price to pay, full backs being a particular weakness, the current academy prospects all want for pace so I'll have to move to a low block featuring a lower defensive line or just over commit to the press and die by it, havent decided.

So I was curious about a player who I thought kept reacting negatively to every sideline shout, not every player is going to react the same to shout and fair enough but this seemed too consistent(ly negative), turns out I was half right:
Something is making my man here see red, which right happens to the best of us, but every match? all match long?
Oh
Yeah that checks out

I'd still like to have it for AFTER the game
If we are going for realism, how poor is our video department we dont have access to that after the match is played.

I haven't played it, so I wouldn't know. I've only heard about the game, so I don't know the elements there and I can't really comment.
Oh no worries, if you've ever bored on the internet look up articles about it it was a popular article subject years back with highlights of the 15 years or so of patch notes.
On topicI wish there was an easier way to "scroll" through a match's highlights.
The vcr buttons:Are functional but not quite as easy to find points in time between the pre-defined "highlights"

is this an intended feature/behaviour: If you individually talk to all three groups (Defenders, Midfielders and Attackers), any status changes they gained (seemed motivated etc) become neutral - if you talk to just two groups, they stay
I thought I was imagining things with my halftime team talks figuratively bugging out but maybe a literal bug instead

I doubt they patch things up much for the single player part...
The perfect counterpoint for this argument would be Dwarf Fortress, specially in regards to the single player procedural ai emergent behaviour aspect, those patch notes are detailed, long and famous

Very happy so far with the game guys, it's since FM15 that I had this fun
I mostly feel positively about 21, helps that 20 was dire but even with a lot of the new UI changes putting things in places I cant find it's still a recommend overall

Yes, and I agree, if it had been a patch. But you don't have release notes in a new game. You don't see devs pushing out "these are the issues we fixed before the game was released" in any game. They do whenever they do an actual patch (as they did just now, where they stated the they fixed crashes for Korean language).
Now, I agree, that since we here on the forum have mostly played the Beta, it feels like we got a patch, but in reality we just finally got the real game and what we played before was just a sneak peak.
There's also the whole can of worms that it's only bad if it feels bad, if undocumented changes were received positively by a hypothetical end user no one would care for patch notes

My performance analyst sent me it at the end of the season (I think), along with some other stats.
I will keep an eye out, I dont recall having seen it in previous seasons and I did have a performance analyst. Thanks for looking out

supposed to be unknown
that's the whole issue, it's a black box by design.
Appealing to authority in no way engenders any trust in something that is meant to be secretive by its very nature.

Anybody elses xG table looking like this at the end of the season? Every team in the league is outscoring the xG, and nearly every team is out conceding the xG. Surely this means the xG is being underestimated?
Maybe it's just a fluke season.
I dont even know where the xG table is tbqh

Still no fullbacks/wingbacks but hopefully those midfielders look right for a position switch

lol, not all of us move that fast. Welcome to the slow but steady section of the cult
Honestly wouldve gone a lot quicker if I handnt forgotten the keys to reload skin instead of having to click through the menus

Another academy graduate has been featuring more consistently in the first team, and I am contemplating moving away to two strikers just to feature a targetman:
193cm + 16 jumping
I've spent the majority of time since launch hacking together a skin from various different pieces, so barely in December 2023, the speed at which some of you guys progress astounds me.

They're there, but they're broken. Assists scored/conceded graphic is always empty (currently mid-season):
Reported the issue during beta, but got no response.
You can access those screens in Team Report -> Analyst Report.
Thank you, completely missed the individual sections were clickable, thought I was stuck with the useless hexagon graph.
Not sure how I feel about them being broken but at least they arent completely gone.

What's are the opinions on the removal of the match timeline ?

they wont do this because it's a race to the bottom of what constitutes "notable" events
