Lol, what a nerd wasting his time on productive stuff when he could be playing FM24 beta.

I just called in sick for next week, thanks!

I believe there are several ways to make it work, and of course make them optional for whoever wants it: AI uses better tactics and does better transfers in the harder difficulty compared to the normal one. This one is controversial to me, as that would impose that the normal difficulty has to be programmed to make dumber decisions. Enable the player to tick on some restrictions for the player (like a nuzlocke challenge in pokemon games). For example, only 1 signing per transfer window, no signings at all, only signings from the country you are in, etc. Include cheats for the AI -> for example more sugar daddy takeovers in the world, better sponsor deals for AI clubs. Could be anything really, although im opposed to AI cheating in the match itself. Anything to keep the AI competitive in the long run

People don't like to lose, so they make everything easy as ****. You earn stuff by just participating in most games nowadays, and everyone always expects to be able to unlock or win everything by simply playing. I would love to see 2 difficulty settings in FM personally. One where people can breeze through it like they currently do, and one where the AI actually poses a challenge for multiple years on end. I'm hopeful the presented changes in squad building AI will make thing a bit better, but it's highly depending on how they have implemented these changes.

Time to release the beta then, I don't see any other option really.

I'd say 3 weeks is close enough to 2. Let's go!

Fair enough

You seem to be doing well. However, I wonder why you aren't really using any youth products from Ajax itself. I'm doing an Ajax game myself where I'm at the end of the 2nd season, and there is an insane amount of youth talent coming through from the youth teams at this point.

I'm going to test it for using it as a scouting tool where I'll be uploading an excel file with my scouted players list and let it analyse on multiple levels to see whether i can find the right players for the right position.

We need

You could always balance around it and program that AI does not for 100% follow all the real life data points. It could however use it for inspiration in some way, especially on the tactical side.

Lets go boys

Not the first, not the second, but the third page boys

Yet, you also have players like Robben who would have insane attributes, but is purely left footed. Different situations require different player profiles. One is not always better than the other in all circumstances.
