So Donnarumma is more likely to drop a clanger than your goalie. The lower the better. 20 eccentricity is goalie rushing out like crazy, dropping crosses, etc

Yeah I agree about seeing your facilities would be a nice little touch because at the moment they are just a line of text in your Club Info.
Also, if you get a new stadium or expansion, a little fly-by of it would be cool. Currently we have to pause at certain points to get a glimpse of a new stand at an odd angle.

I bet my scouts had fun finding this guy;
Good pre-season friendly result for AI controlled Liverpool;

I like going to nice places. Just took my team on a tour of Singapore. Who cares about the quality of opposition, wanted to take my 18 year old Brazilian wonder kids on a nice holiday.

I think its 3D animations are better than Rush Football 2, watch this on Youtube:
That looks rubbish, especially with the out of sync commentary.
Also, they've spelt Gnabry wrong which doesn't bode well for much attention to detail.

I admit to throwing the odd play off final game if I think my team is progressing a bit too far up quickly.
I also do the Google Street View and Wiki check up on clubs I've managed.

I had a similar guy in FM20;

Maybe the players personality could have an affect?

should become best player in your save he prob aint far off that now
Ah, you underestimate my ability to not get the best out of good players!
Currently got him playing a 6.7 after 20 games! He's got 10 assists though so at least he's useful!

I think this lad could be a bit special;

In your Staff Responsibilities, make sure the option is selected that U23s and u18s play the same tactic as the 1st team.

And to drone on….I’d love to show you highlights of the game I just played against West Ham away. I can’t because SI took highlights away from the game after years of being there and they CBAd to fix it. Another fine piece of work for tablet players from SI…..
Anyway. West Ham away. 2-0 down after 15 mins to 2 Antonio goals whose playing as a lone striker in4231. My ASsman says we should always close him down. Now if I listen to advice on the forums the instructions to man mark and close down disrupt the shape of my defence. So what is official solution? Should my players not be marking and closing opposition down in my own box anyway! I did instruct to close him down and after 60 mins we equalise 2-2. I know. JUST KNOW. The special SI algorithm will kick in at this point and West Ham will score…..Lo and behold…Antonio gets ball following our corner inside his own half, skins 3 of my defenders and scores a worldly from just outside the box. Closing down not really working but how can it when Antonio is supercharged to messi status by the programming.
we end up winning 4-3 god knows why.
I feel like I’m watching a really crap match on tv that I basically have no input over. Even when I win I feel flat. Other people love the game so I’m clearly missing something but I think it’s awful. Worse than 20 which was a terrible game with about 3 team moves. I really do wonder if it is just a tally of attributes, throw some algorithmythic dice and pretend we’re playing a game.
So you have bought a game in FM20 you thought was terrible, a game in FM21 which you think is awful and yet you've come on here to moan that you won a game where you had input after being 2-0, won 4-3 and are unhappy because you felt you had no input?
Right...

ok thanks. I put in "no" to the personalized advertising just in case. Because I dont want the game to collect all my personal data. And I like that the advertising does not take up any screen space in the squad spread sheet, as I need all the space I can get.
You don't want SI finding out you save scum! We're on to you!

I have just tested the same thing. My stadium capacity is 24,030 with 23,489 used in normal matches.
My average attendance in the league for the season is 23,484 (97%) however I have had 0 sellouts, presumably because 24,030 would be the sell out figure.
I asked the board for a stadium expansion whoever the rejected as "We don't have a sufficiently strong base of support to result in a significant up-turn in match day revenue"
I argued and in the meeting they said we need to start selling out games regularly for them to consider an expansion. I guess I'm stuck in this loop due to the reduced capacity (which doesn't actually exist at the club in real life...)

I had 3/4 staff at my club for around 11 years who gave me 5 star training for a couple of items. When I left to go to Lyon, they quit their roles with me and I signed them for Lyon after a couple of months once I was settled. I then quit there as did they and moved to the Championship and Bristol City (and therefore a big step down in ratings). I went to offer them a contract and they wouldn't even enter negotiations. 2 seasons later I offered them and they have re-signed with me.
Maybe give it a year or two and re-try if you haven't got to the point of getting better staff than them in.

Not all in the same league, tactics are different (I would be totally lost if i did not stick as much as possible to the original squad, so i have to adapt), but at the end of the day, quite similar, because given the time it takes to proceed a matchday, there is few time for experimentation, so if something works, it has chances to be put in some other tactics if one of my team struggles.
I would get confused too, if those teams changed every year, but no need to say that real life new recruits sometimes get the "who is that Calhanoglu guy i never heard of", or wonderkids the "why does this Mount guy have som many stars, he was not that great last x versions" treatment, untill they become really upset. And luckilly, the times when i watched football all weekend long are not that far. I you knew about CM3 and my "who is that Giggs they offer me so much for, or "this Totti performs really well" when i did not watch a minute of football
Fair play to you. I tried managing two teams at once on Champ Manager 01/02 and got bored within 3 games, resigned from one and carried on with the other.

I managed in Sweden for 23 years on my save and can confirm that Chinese clubs love a Swedish player. DL Pro used to fill up my inbox with bid after bid of the same player.
Very rarely did the player actually want to leave for China though, and I think I actually only sold 10 over that 23 year period to Chinese clubs (and a couple of them were Brazilian rather than Swedish for a total value of £128m (just went back to look).

Yes, don't judge me ^^
That's crazy! I get confused between players between my 1st team and U23 squad, let alone between 14 teams I was managing!
Are they all in the same league? Or spread round the world? Do you do different tactics for each team?

- I play 14 teams, it's my only save, every version of the game.
Is that, you manage 14 different teams at once?

You're trying to be sarcastic. This doesn't work when what you're saying really is true.
You obviously hate them game because you're not very good at it and trying blame everything else except looking at you'r own tactics.
Play something else and enjoy yourself, life too short to cry over Everton doing better than your team in a computer game.

Yesterday in a network save I am playing I won every single match.
Today I have done no better than draw, largely in part to my players making stupid, unrealistic mistakes.
Sure there's no luck modifier?
You should pick Everton or one of the teams that the devs support as they are so overpowered in this game...

Naturally we have different view on the subject which is OK and I respect it, I understand that you value that side of football more than most people or myself included. However for the reasons i stated, I hope SI doesnt waste resources on virtue signalling ventures such as this one which could only harm the development of the game itself, the Football Manager we all know and love.
I do agree with your view on the addition to it of the game, I wouldn't want to it to be a gimmicky feature, and it's not something I would even try let alone play, however I wouldn't want them to not put it in just because it's women's football.

I like it because of the excitement you see on an 17 year old with what looks to be amazing stats dwindles once you count him and he's actually rubbish and at the lower end of the brackets.
