The amount of injuries I'm getting is staggering. 

A twisted ankle per week. It's satire at this point.

Footing changed for next update.

This is a pretty shocking error

Posted this on a thread of its own, but I don't know if SI will ever look at that, it may get buried here but it deserves mentioning...

Brexit is broken, wait wait wait, stop, hold the pitchforks! I agree it's a thing that will definitely happen, I agree it's something we all have to live with, I agree signing foreign players should be difficult or almost impossible. However, this years issues are not the same as previous years issues.

1. Scouting/recruitment meetings are dominated by reports and recommendations for players you literally can not sign due to work permit issues. I'd argue this is a bug rather than "well they wouldn't definitely know" as there is a line in the media about the media "knowing that he wouldn't get a work permit due to their own research". Surely your scouts would research this and not recommend the players.

2. Some clubs have become unplayable due to club visions requesting they sign u23 year olds, yet u23 year olds don't get work permits or if they are British are overpriced to the point of lunacy and you can not afford them. Other options would be to sign players that are not good enough and never will be good enough just to pass the club vision, potentially annoying the board with poor signings. That makes you fail a club vision without even starting to try and pass it.

3. British players are not correctly priced to reflect the work permit changes, kids are still being priced at 160m+ when Sancho, Bellingham, Lookman et al have all shown that in the modern game kids are now forcing moves to play more football and clubs are now taking 20-30m for their kids rather than risk losing them on a free. Of course some players should have "hands off" prices, but near enough every kid who will inevitably sit in the u23s until they are released should not be priced at 120m up until they actually get released, its madness.

4. The Prem is being filled with weird players because the AI hasn't got a clue how to handle it. This is the worst one, its potentially why people are finding the game "too easy". You've got teams like City still hoarding Brazilian wonderkids that they'll never play and eventually have to release or sell for nothing because they can't get work permits. You've got smaller prem sides signing League Two center backs because...British? It's a mess the further on it gets. I've got Leicester currently playing a 650k AMC with 8 for crossing, 10 for long shots and about 2-3 Prem level stats but the rest are God awful. The biggest culprit is definitely the bigger clubs hoarding wonderkids still, despite them not being able to get work permits in a few years because they never play them. Would teams genuinely spend 30m on an 18 year old German to sit in the u23s for 3 years only to get released? 3 or 4 of them per year?

Some teams are handling it well, sometimes it works. I don't want it to be removed, I like that its difficult, I like the reflection of reality. I'd just like the game to be balanced to encompass it. I think a lot of Brexit's legitimate complaints are brushed off as "well this is how it's going to be" without acknowledging that there are actually some game breaking problems that need to be fixed.

I genuinely feel this is the best FM in years, when this goes out on full release, people will lose their minds at how awful Brexit is. Some people will do it without justification, it SHOULD be hard to sign people now...the thing is, the people who are saying "but there are legitimate problems" are also being ignored and tarred with that same "its going to happen, suck it up" brush.

Great post and completely agree. This is game-breaking.

Is nobody else bothered about there being about 40 blocked crosses a game and 20 corners a game?

[Football Manager 2021 Early Access Beta Official Feedback Thread]

way way way too many blocked crosses and thus way too many corners too

[Football Manager 2020 Feedback Thread]

This is the worst match engine I have ever seen.

Goals are either from set pieces, long shots or rebounds. 'Normal' in-play goals aren't being scored. It's so predictable. Players keep running from the wing and then hoofing it wide or into the side netting.

I hope SI are aware of this and a patch is coming, because it's game-breaking.
