Any ideas how we could do that - I'm open to the concept somewhat ..
Maybe like a fortnightly challenge with leaderboards?
At our discord servers we have quite a large list of challenges now for people to try,

Well, in a mobile context its you can see one but not the other.
But I see Flair as how much they 'show off' and creativity as to how unpredictable their play is.

Would be great if you could set players to specific positions for that comparison - If someone is a better CB than LB, doesn't mean he might not be the 3rd best CB at the club, but actually the best LB. Not even sure if that makes sense
The Team report section can help you with that, in the squad depth section.

Guess not then!
As I thought!
I think its a case that its an enjoyable match for the fans that brings in some extra revenue. How that works exactly depends on the cup but some arrangements are more generous to away teams than league matches.
Ultimately its part of the concept that any team could win it. Obviously, Red Lion pub FC aren't going to beat professionals but its part of the excitement.

I appreciate now having an explanation.
Aside from criticising the whole decision, SI and Miles have made some big communication mistakes with this.
1. Not recognising that this change would be met negatively by the most ardent fan base.
2. Thinking that presenting it as some sort of airy fairy positive was a good strategy by itself - we aren't stupid, you know.
3. Miles tweeting that he thinks we're all odd for not wanting to get Netflix. Condescending, crass and arrogant.
The polls on Vibe and our discord server, whilst small sample sizes, show the extent to which current players are simply not going to sub to Netflix to play the game. Those that play the game the most don't play it for a few weeks and then get bored, as is the way for most mobile games, we play it year round. I have an active save right now, and when that's finished I've plenty more I want to do. I'd definitely pay more than £10 for the game, but a minimum of £60? No way, its not good pricing compared to other games on the market or indeed even in SI's own portfolio.
I guess if this was Netflix or no game, for a lot of people its just no game either way, and that's terribly sad.

One big point to be raised, if the game is only accessible via Netflix accounts, and FM versions typically are only on sale for a year for licensing reasons, then does the game completely disappear from existence after a year because people can no longer buy it and it's locked behind a subscription? A troubling thought.
Assuming SI do press ahead with this I would assume the way around this is to ensure that by FMM25, the game has the backwards save compatibility which is being introduced for FM24.
At that point then the game may as well just drop the year and become a game constantly under development with regular squad updates.

Miles saying it would be odd to not want to get Netflix is so infuriatingly arrogant and condescending. Tone deaf nonsense from a corporate head.

Won't the numbers go the other way? I mean so far I haven't seen any positives about it, even from people who have Netflix. Pirate sites are filled with Netflix exclusive games, how will it be different for FMM?
No idea how it stacks in practice but I assume that decisions around this will always be based on the finances. Doesn't mean they've figured it correctly.

Adding my voice here to those deriding this decision.
I DO have a netflix account so I suppose I gain from this. But I still think its very wrong. Suppose you're hedging your bets the numbers add up doing it this way.

The reason we don't is simply its incredibly confusing to less hardcore/experienced users - the idea is that the game should be simple and easy to setup and play as much as possible.
(it also makes testing the game a LOT harder there are already 25x24x23x22x21 (6,375,600) permutations of leagues possible with just the nation selection which is obviously beyond our reasonable capacity to test thoroughly - adding selection for individual league levels and potentially stressing devices more by allowing larger amounts of leagues to be selected on some devices would likely cause instability for some users and isn't something I really want to risk.
(that being said I do understand why you want it and that's why when its feasible I have extended the number of active leagues in the game - originally we only had one when the game first came out)Well that isn't the answer I wanted!!!
But of course I can understand the reasoning.

My long-term aim isn't to give 'more options' as that makes the game more complicated - its to do away with the selection of leagues and simply have everything active always ... that is a (very) long-term aim however.
Love that aim, as ultimately being able to potentially manage in any league in game on save would be the ultimate journeyman game. Meanwhile, it would be great if the game can assess a device's capability to run a custom size database with custom number of leagues like the full pc game does.

I'm not even sure if these are in the full fat game never mind the mobile game - at least based on full fm 22 which I have, you can only manage in South Africa.
I would absolute welcome more African and Arabian leagues, this area is very underrepresented in football manager. Scouting is probably a major issue blocking this.

Over on fmmvibe someone pointed out this article from three years ago and according to him this shows that the rankings in my group are actually correct.... Now I am confused... I am not sure that the situation in the article is identical to mine but if it is then I think the game had it right and it's not a mistake/bug.
Edit: after reading the article again on how the criteria are applied I think the rankings in the game were correct. If someone can confirm this then this whole thread can be ignored/deleted.
Yeah I think so. Going by that criteria, all three teams on 2 pts drew with each other, so a) is out. They all have the same goal difference in head-to-head matches, so b) is out despite Sweden getting the worst defeat by Croatia, so then c), Sweden score 2 goals and Greece and Scotland each only scored 1. So Sweden go through.

I'm sure I've sometimes seen the option to ask the board to reconsider these things; I don't know whether that only appears at a certain reputation or board confidence maybe, not sure.

Just to point out you've posted this in the wrong forum, this is for the mobile version of the game which (sadly) doesn't have the Chilean League included.

I'm sure I read somewhere that the star rating is meaningless anyway.

@ElliottMS its the same no matter what team you select i was 12 times champions league winner with AEL (AE Larisa) its a team currently playing in second Greek league and i play with only Greek and Serbian players.
The AI must be more challenging or lets say he need to make better transfers in long saves.
In some of my saves PSG first sign is always that Nantes goalkeeper Lafont. He is great potential but he is always substitute like for 8 seasons because there is Donnarumma and he never wants to change clubs even he is substitute and not fulfilling his potential and they dont even want to loan him out. Tooo much things like that in many many big clubs in all my saves.
Ah but I mean a really small team, like one that gets promoted to the bottom tier of a country with a lot of leagues like England.
You're just good at the game though tbh.

I play few times 30 seasons. The most challenging was Ath Bilbao due to only basque signings but even that after 3 seasons you start to be way dominant and arround 10-15 seasons its becoming boring as you are winning everything. What push me more is to see whats in the end of the game and some personal challenges ( have son that is world class) or have striker that goes from youth intake and try him to score 2000 goals before he retires 16-36 years old (average 100 goals a season) never manage to do this the most i did was 76 goals a season on avarage. I hope in next years game the AI will be more challenging and Serbian league will be introduced.
Tbh, if you start with a good team it will always go like this. The real fun for me is making a small team big then dominant.

I'm not sure if this is the place to do it, I am very new to FM and am still getting used to things, a while ago, one of my players was not performing well, I wasn't sure what to do and I moved him to the reserves. My problem is he is one of my better players, and I don't know how to get him back into the first team. I am aware that you can only have 40 players in each, but I don't know what to do, I don't remember how I moved him, and he is getting upset about not being in the first team, I can't even find the place to do it, does it show up if you are maxed out?
If you have 40 players in the first team, the option to move a player from the reserves won't show.
If you have 40 players in the reserves too you will need to sell/release a player in order to have the flexibility to move players around again.

I just hired a tactical analyst for my club and want to assign him to scouting the opposition and preparing the crouting reports on them. I have two scouts. How do I make sure that it is my tactical analyst and not my youth scout who is monitoring the upcoming opposition?
Have you tried assigning him as your head scout in the manager options screen?

One way of using a PC to play Fm Mobile is to use an android emulator like bluestacks. You may have to fiddle with the settings to get it to work but its what I do. You still have to buy the game via Play Store, you just log in to your play store on the emulator as if it was any other device.

Just a thought that came to mind - can we have some pre-set corner and set piece settings to pick from, rather than having to either individually set each specific player role?
As a mobile game it would be great to make it a smoother quicker experience without having only the default setting to pick from. I have to confess I only ever change the attacking corner settings because its monotonous.

Just to add a voice that I've noticed this too - change formation and it screws up your set pieces, which can for example leave you short at the back and vulnerable to a counter attack when previously you weren't.

I don't have any hard statistics to back this up, but is the penalty conversion rate a bit too low? I don't see that many penalties overall, neither for my team nor the opposition, but so many penalties are saved by the GK's.
Anyone else having the same feeling?
Nah seems OK to me

Its a matter of licensing.
I understand the legalities of licensing in Brazil is a mess as SI would need to negotiate individually which each club.
Wouldn't be great having a league of unlicensed teams.
It would be great to have Brazil though. Their system of regional competitions in the off season is pretty unique and interesting.
