Hi guys,
Is there any way to transfer all the teams/nations that you subscribe to or follow in game from one save to another? Just like you can do with shortlists?
Ive started a new save and want to continue following all the same teams/nations etc that I’d subscribed to on my previous game and wondered if there was an easier way to do this than manually go through it all again?

No, I often do it by starting somewhere in Scandinavia and have no issues on a long term save.
Thanks mate!

Yes that's correct, you'll have to run the save for a season to get your first intake.
Thanks. But apart from that, there should be no other issues starting the game in 2024 and not 2023?

Is anyone in the know on this and can help?

I’ve started a new game in Feb 2024 as I’m playing in the Swedish league.
Ive holidayed to check everything is ok as never really done it before and I’ve noticed that it effectively pushes youth intakes back by a year. First European youth intake was Feb/march 2025 instead of 2024. Is that correct?

I’ve never played in Sweden before but want to start a game in Feb 2024. This is using the original FM24 database.
By doing so it basically misses out what happened in the 2023 season, with Malmo winning as that obviously happened in Nov 2023 (after the game came out)
My question is, Apart from the game not registering this as I’ve now set the game start date to Feb 2024, is everything else ok in game? Want to start the game but don’t want any long term issues by starting in 2024 instead of 2023.

maybe delete it from the preferences, not sure if you can just remove the previously given path
When you delete from preferences it deletes the pic meaning you have no manager picture showing; not even the original generated one.

I am currently using a real photograph as my manager picture but is there anyway to change this back to the FM generated face?

I’m experiencing similar so would like to know the answer too please?

Most of the systems in the game straight up do not work, we all think they do so we are having fun nonetheless but we are just roleplaying. We are imagining playing our great link up attacker as a false 9 works well and is some Pep genius while he would in fact score as many assists in any other attacking role. He would overall perfom better, both as a creator and a scorer as an advanced forward with the "take more risks" instruction. We might think it does, because it makes sense and it should, but the truth is it doesn't. There are litteral millions of FM-Arena simulated matches that point to this same exact conclusion every new game and every patch.
Most of the attributes are broken. Every year, someone over there tests the attributes and finds out half of them are useless in this game engine's iteration. Who could have guessed tackling and marking are useless attributes for central defenders? No I'm not pulling your leg this is the actual state of the game, test it for yourself and see.
Training is a scam. After watching evidence based football manager's training videos, I felt really defeated. All this time spent planning training for the month amounted to nothing, it was all a useless joke. In fact it was often even worse than doing nothing at all: I was replacing general training with specialized training which is straight up worse in every way. It was all some busywork to make me feel like I was in control. It did nothing for player progression and it didn't have any influence on the matches. This kind of gamedesign is really cruel, it's akin to candy crush saga and it's really a slap in the face.
When someone on these forums pointed the Devs to the EBFM video "does match preparation raise your chance of winning?" (the answer was no of course). I remember reading the feedback would go upwards, they would investigate and do something about it. Well they did, they simply removed the system in this year's iteration. Oopsie, it was never there, this system was broken but the rest of the game works, promise.
Most roles are completely dumb and are just a strictly inferior version of some other role (check FM arena and test **** for yourself). When it comes to tactics, most of the instructions barely do anything while a few of them do everything. Very high line and press have been broken for half a decade now and it's pretty much the only thing that actually matters if you want to win. Formations are an afterthought, just set your mentality to attack, your high line, 6 or 7 of players on an attack role and enjoy your 5-2 win. There is this elitist mentality that some of us are better at the game than the people who just "download a tactic". Well that's just really ironic because in their own way the people downloading tactics were right all along. Tinkering with support roles based on real life football is indeed a waste of time. Of course it's fun, and thats the important thing, but we are just roleplaying and making our own fun. The game itself does nothing for you.
Staff is useless, loan managers, technical directors, data scientists ("wow he is very good at analyzing data, that must be super helpful for a data scientist!") even coach star ratings barely amount to anything. It's all mindless excel busywork, a fantasy about making your numbers go up. The simulation itself might be even more shallow than cookie clicker.
Here's what some of you are going to tell me: "Don't use the broken stuff, make your own fun, play the game in a way that's fun for you etc.". Well yeah, I kind of tried that, I could maybe roleplay a smaller side with a defensive tactic and fight to avoid relegation. That might be fun until I face Liverpool or United playing attacking gegenpress. This is a sports game, the goal is to win, why would anyone purposely avoid using a good strategy in order to have fun? First do not use high line, then don't use attacking mentality, then don't use Attack Wingbacks (yes fullbacks are very much a scam by the way), then don't use low crosses. Congratulations, you are now losing games, you are getting the real manager experience, come back next year to buy our next 60$ database upgrade.
The worst part is that this **** has been broken for years and that SI, on top of not fixing it are just adding more busywork on top. Player agents are still as shallow but you have to go through an additional useless dialogue now. They added Club Vision so that your board can enforce the same stupid arbitrary requirements every time you play (preferred: make the most of set-pieces) ".
Now I know some of you are hardcore FM fans that are going to deny that the stats provided by FM-Arena users and the Evidence based Football Manager youtube channel are true. "These people don't know how to do proper data science and their evidence is flawed :nerdface-emoji:".
Well yes, those are amateurs that play the game like you and me, not actual data-scientists. They poured hundreds of hours in testing the game, if you were intellectually honest and actually watched their evidence and methdology, you would realize they are most definitely right about the stuff they find out, it's all so painfully obvious.
The reason the game never truly explains its mechanics is that they do not work. Every single piece of evidence points to that. I don't get that some of you hardcore fans are defending it over and over again. There is this ridiculous fan culture here and on reddit defending the game tooth and nail. Just stop silencing us, help us call out the ******** and give actual feedback. Help us make the game better instead of defending every bad practice. Football Manager could be a great game but it is not, help us complain and get the devs working on the right stuff.
I am not trying to ruin your fun, playing FM can be incredibly fun, even in its poor state. It's a great roleplaying tool in a big sandbox simulated world which is the best kind of game. But the reason the game is good is ourselves, we are creating our own fun. The game itself is just helping. And it could definitely help a lot better than it currently does.
I have to say I agree with alot of this and have felt similar over the past few years.
The greatest part of FM is the community. It's the fact it was this niche game that spawned so many wonderkids over the years. It's the fact we all have romantic stories of weird and wonderful clubs we fell in love with because of FM.
But we didn't fall in love with them all because FM was great, it was because of our imagination. FM was simply the tool that enabled us to do so, and that tool has become poorer and poorer over the years. I genuinely believe, that even with a lack of competition, the FM series would have massively died out years ago had it not been for the community.
When you take the community and uniqueness of that out of it and judge it purely as a game, and not some romantic notion, it really is quite poor compared to other modern games on the market.

This may be a stupid Q but does anyone know if there’s a way to get rid of the start up screen once the game loads?
I’m talking about the screen with your manager standing there and the game options showing? I’d rather just have a blank screen than the manager avatar standing there.

After release of full game I needed some time to prepare for the save. Made tweaks to db, mostly improving some known mistakes in FCM data and league at the whole. Finally, we are ready to go!
Meet Thorsten Güntner, young and ambitious German manager who cultivates intensive and organized football. He is always relying on a Team, not individualities, and this is reflected in his coaching and tactical style. His vison is also well harmonized with the club vision "determination and unity can create the impossible".
So, as you can see, we are going for some DNA project here in addition for more common goals like trophies. I still don`t have any clear statement about how we will implement DNA into the club, it`s still WIP. But restrictions will affect squad building, tactics, training and staff recruitment. Possibly later I will share more in-depth information about it.
Club background
Major success came to the club in period between 2015 and 2020 when FCM won 3 league titles and national cup. In 20/21 season for the first time in FCM history they entered UCL group stages.
Stadium and Facilities
Top level facilities, modern and cozy stadium which is going to be expanded to 1/1/2024.
Finances
Finances are good. Very good for Denmark. But we definitely need European money if we want to constantly improve the club.
About the squad in next post a little bit later...
Will be following this

Am I missing something or are there very little managers/coaches that show a specific style of play on their page? I see every managers preferred formation but only a few that define their preferred style?
Has this changed for FM24 or is it a bug?

you can overwrite it the same way as you put in a newgen face.
but i doubt you can remove it from the game.
But if you are sure, you should raise it on the bug forum and make SI aware
Thanks - how do you overwrite it?

How do you remove a player photo pic from the game? I have a player in my team that has the wrong pic assigned to them in the DB and I’d like to remove it.
Thanks

Transfer History -> Staff is broken and doesn't show anything, for any season, for any club. So you can't see any team's staff movement.
I don’t have the game on me atm but is it still broke when you go onto the world, transfers section and then filter by staff?

I just found out that Transfer History - Staff is broken and my whole day got ruined. For someone who checks staff movement very often this is a game breaker
What is this issue? Haven't seen anything about this.

Really helpful thread
Does anyone know how I can get the team/player name font to be in capital letters like the past few FM’s and not lower case like this years?

Does anybody know who the Danish researcher is? Need to speak to him about something to do with FM24 but can't seem to find who it is.
