You’re using his data files on 24?

What were the French db issues?

Yes, would like clarification on this as well.

Are the main database updates in Europe just the Italian bans?

There will be even more issues with 25 due to the new engine, etc.

SI have been more transparent than ever during the beta … then they shut down on full release.

Am going to do an Arsenal save with a low rep when I get some free time, so if there’s an issue, it should definitely show up then …. will report back

What rep is your manager?

Have you changed the Saudi transfers significantly since the original implementation last month? Thank you from a proud Patreon subscriber. :)

I started an Arsenal save. Interested to see how things look when I’m deeper down the line

This also tracks with my experience. It also explains why the problem is more pronounced when users illustrate it via national team squads. Further, if SI are less likely to tinker with international play, then it makes sense why that problem still persists.

Beginning to think this problem is also a symptom of a lack of care towards national team management … not as concerned if there has been an improvement across clubs

If you want to see really frustrating in the match engine, try starting a save with a high rep team/low rep manager. Players will not play for you at all. But it is always a glaring difference when you gain their respect and they start following your instructions on the pitch.

Would you say FIFA actually delivers a more realistic experience at this point than FM? Serious question. I used to play FIFA religiously, but stopped several years ago.

Interesting - is the AI playing youth? Is this a problem that’s more representative of how little attention SI have given national teams v. clubs?
