This ruins the game for me and part of the reason I haven't yet "upgraded" from FM21. It's been downhill since FM18 in terms of AI squad and player development. For casuals this may not seem a big deal but for hardcore players this simply undermines all your efforts.
Started the save in Portugal but have no u19 players, they are all grays. Is this normal? Yes I loaded players from all divisions in the country. I'm also without strikers... Could be a bug?
This is way too serious and for many (including me) it's a gamebreaking bug.
So I sincerely hope this is fixed for the full release otherwise I'll have to go back to 21
I really want to buy FM22 but my rational brain can't justify it especially when I won't be able to enjoy long term saves. I'm sticking with FM21 until it's fixed
FM has been easy for a while but whenever I manage anywhere in the UK (which is rare tbh) I have to nerf United to more realistic level for immersion. Otherwise they are better than City and Liverpool when they should be around Spurs and below Chelsea.
I think the reputation system doesn't work very well if you manage small teams as opposition concedes too much space whilst lacking the capacity to destroy you. It's strange but I always get promoted in my first season even as relegation candidates.
