I only now noticed that you asked for feedback on the mod for FM21:
It definitely makes the game more challenging, just like it did for FM20. It's a struggle to win the title in any division, you have to actively manage the team and frequently adjust in-game. I win home games against bottom half teams 2-0 or 3-1 compared with 4-0 or 5-0 without it. Away games are challenging, just like they should be. Unbeaten runs of 15+ games are rare, unlike vanilla game. Takes three seasons to take a team predicted to finish 6-8th to the title, just like it would IRL.
The only thing I've noticed is that AI managers tend to do the majority of their tactical changes very late in the game, 80th minute or later when the game is beyond them. Is there a way of changing that for next version?

A few suggestions for you:
Albion Rovers (Scottish League 2)
Southend United (English League 2)
Chertanovo Moscow (Russian League 2)
Is Chertanovo Moscow the team where you are not allowed to sign players? Everyone must be from the academy?

Im in season 6 in game and yikes the wonderkids are popping up like mushrooms everywhere. Will this add more balance because They arent cheap so even big clubs have problems buying em, or will This make The game unplayable. The wonderkids arent bad either, like worldclass at The age of 18-19 already...
the Youth rating mod by @Daveincid fixes this.

where can I get this ? Is it on steam workshop?
Do you mind providing a link ? I'm in dire need of a challenge as I want to enjoy the game but winning isn't that enjoyable.
you'll find them in here

Game is simply too easy for anyone on these forums. I have to self impose transfer embargo's or self off players I get promoted with to make it semi realistic. I sometimes even use only a certain amount of wage budget and transfer funds.
-I've limited the quality and amount of loan players I bring in to my lower level teams
-I started to steer away from pre set tactics in the game and just make my own.
*This is all coming from a manager that was never sacked and never fought relegation battles. Which I'd love to experience.
Sounds like you need the Smarter AI Managers and Realistic Transfer Preferences mods from @majesticeternity

Anyone else having the issue of when adding in playable leagues to a current save it doesnt actually add the league in when it gets to the date it says. Thought i would try to get round this regen issue a little bit by adding in a load of playable leagues but nothing actually happens, if i try and add that league again after that date it just shows as being added again in another years time.
Also i started with a couple of view only leagues, i selected to change them to playable and it gives me a date in the future when it will change to playable. But when i come off the game and load my save back up next time i play it, its gone back to view only and doesnt show it as playable in the future.
same for me @wildjay27
you have to persist year on year by adding them and then crossing your fingers.

this sounds very promising as I agree with you that finances can get out of hand a few years in. Top 5 league transfer expenditure and salaries are accurate however, the EPL transfer expenditure is about 1.2bn euros a year and the other 4 nations at about half that. And remains around that level throughout a long save from memory. Salaries are similar to real life too and remain realistic in a long term save imo. In fact you could argue that it's strange there isn't more inflation built into the game as top players have similar salaries in 2040 to 2020. Transfer fees for elite attackers remain between 100-150m typically.
What do you think is causing the transfer fee and wage increases in the leagues below the big boys?

thanks for sharing the screenshots @Daveincid - you can see that the mod stops the elite clubs unrealistically buying up all the Scandi talent that aren't anywhere near their level and will be messed around with for years in their U23's and on poor loan deals which stunts their development.

If you're not bothered by random stuff like a player not getting suspended for a red card, then probably it is. However I'd wait for a couple days after this patch before the next wave of bug reports comes in.
you a ref by any chance @tkis?

I swear by it and find the game too easy without it (it's even better on FM21). But I got pretty good during Covid
.
The Manager mod makes them better at squad building, rotation and countering your tactics amongst other things. See more in the mod description:

it was the same in FM20 @BamBamBam
On the plus side, if players get cranky it's on the ass man and not you.

So guys is the game playable?
You can still do a 10-year save until the effects of newgen bug become gamebreaking. In that period you'll have a great time - the new ME is awesome with the latest patch.

Has anybody else been getting low ratings for Deep-Lying Playmakers?
I did too before i slowed tempo down a notch and focused play through the middle. Now it's much better.

Hey bro!
A new player here I just want to ask is modding safe? Will it ruin my game?
Other than that can you tell me how this MOD is working for you like what changes are you noticing vs the actual game??
hey @Adit Agrawal
I've mostly used the ones from @majesticeternity & @Daveincid and never had a problem. I know they are testing heavily before release and I get the feeling they know what they are doing.
But if you are a new player I wouldn't advice you to use the Smarter AI Managers mod right out the gate. Start a save and if you find it unrealistically easy, download it and use for your next save.

Have you simmed a test version 10 years in to the future? If so, is the total player count the same or similar as at start?

There is mod like this? this is my dream
@majesticeternity & @Daveincid have lots of great mods like this one - better transfers, youth rating, awards, youth tournaments etc.

good breakdown @SebastianRO. Are you playing with the Smarter AI Managers mod? If not, you should. Looks like the game is a bit too easy for you judging by your results and by the fact that you can easily counterattack lesser teams having a go at you. I use it, and together with the latest patch for the ME, I am experiencing my best ever FM experience. The game is proper challenging and realistic. The new match engine also brings so many cool moments that are great to watch. The newgen bug is super annoying and prevents me from starting a longterm save, but you can still have a lot of fun in saves that won't go further than 10 years.

- view-only and some leagues playable with custom db => still struggles massively. Start db 110k, in 28 its 81k. It's "okay" if it stays like this, but I guess it will drop further.
you a star @Daveincid thanks for the update. But i guess it's fine to start a new save with mix of playable and view-only leagues loaded, by the time I get to 2028 there will probably be a further fix along the way. Especially if it's something that sounds so relatively easy as cranking up transfer activity in non-playable leagues.

eehhh quite a few. The game is littered with superstar 20-year olds just 5-6 years into a save.
