I think Miles and or his team should issue an apology, as he did last year. The promised new features at launch are just patently either not there or not working. And all the bug reports, people wasting time uploading saves to the cloud, writing out long explanations, are now ignored. For a full price game, it is not good enough. Even the last data update is out of date by 2 months, with the likes of Hodgson still at Palace. The whole version this year has been very poor

Marketing is not an excuse. The game this year has not been as promised, doesn't look like its now going to be improved, and people are rightfully p***ed off. The only improvement I've noticed in the latest patch is that there is no longer a lag when selecting first teamers for the reserves. Whoopee-doo. We were promised some things that haven't happened and I'm disappointed in SI. Not much more to say. Maybe the game will come out next year with all its new bells and whistles, and knock us all off our feet. But is that just marketing too? Trust has gone now and won't come back unless FM25 is amazing. Hint - do not hold your breath

The love letter that was actually a **** you, but give us your money, next year we''ll sort it out.

SI squad planner - release untested beta version of new year titled game, with much fanfare about new features, spend next 3 months releasing patches to fix broken new features, release final patch sometime after transfer window, forget about game and all bug reports in order to concentrate on new release in November. Rinse repeat for 10 years. it's just not acceptable, year in year out

Are we able to see fitness level in percentage this year, or are they persisting with the silly coloured love hearts?

Why are we still seeing this s*** at least 4 years later after it was reported as a bug.....this is excerpt from my youth intake

Why do regens who play in central positions, ie, central defender, central midfield, striker, etc, never have a preferred side preference?

Each year when a new year FM comes out, I always start off with the intention of starting a very long term save, but inevitably find myself starting a new game, because of for example, a drastic change in tactics or a major update. What I wondered was, has anyone out there done a really really long term save as the same manager and got to the age of say Neil Warnock or Roy Hodgson both in their mid 70's, you know these guys, who should have quit while they were ahead. If I put my real age in (52) at start of a new game, 30 seasons in I would be in my eighties and fit for retirement home! Does the game retire you (!) as it does with non player staff

I have posted about this before, but this years staff advice has gone up a notch in terms of not only not being of any use but actually detrimental if you follow it When I get my fortnightly briefing, I'm continually being advised to, for example, set up defensive positioning training for player x, if you click on player x profile a few days later, you'll see in the advice for this player, to stop defensive positioning training as its a waste of time. I continually get advised to downgrade my star players to regular starters or squad players, even though they are genuinely star players in terms of my team, if you do so, it upsets the player and sometimes knock on effect, upsets the squad. Contract advice, it will tell you a player is not good enough to renew contract, and then a week later on the staff advice meeting, it will tell you the same player has massive potential and we should keep an eye on his progress It goes without saying I hire the best staff available to my club, so its not like am getting bad advice from crap staff members, its the same old spiel even when you're a premiership club and can hire the highest rated staff It makes me wonder. why bother wasting my time scouring through lists of staff members and going through the tiresome process of searching out the best available who will agree to a contract, when the advice you get is not going to be any different or more useful than if you hire Johnny Clueless from Nowhereland who has a one star staff rating. This is not a new thing, I just think its got worse this year, in terms of gameplay it would be fantastic if you could actually hire staff that would help you, but no, none of them do.

FM23 will always be remembered for the year we got some amazing new worthwhile features, the match engine significantly improved, the graphics got better and the regen pictures didn't look like they had been drawn by an 8 year old..........what an all in all great upgrade from last years version.........said no one ever

Judging by all the feedback I've read so far, I have to come to the conclusion that FM23 is not really worth buying until after the final update, and hopefully then at a reduced price. They do this every year , release what to my mind is an unfinished game, and in particular this year, with its lack of any worthwhile or exciting new features, I feel as much as I love playing, its not really good enough is it, to be paying 60 euros on steam for what is ultimately a patch (and pardon the pun, not a patch on last years version). I've spent many hours on previous versions, I do love the game, its great fun to play, but at this point the lack of anything worthwhile in this years edition should be questioned

How is it that you know it definitely does? Why is it also when I read the attendance figure for the match it tells me a total figure with the amount of away fans in brackets?

If the stadium is really set to neutral Wembley, why would the mod overwrite it with Old Trafford. The mod doesn't interfere with any of the game mechanics, if it was going to overwrite something, it would overwrite the FM22 version of Wembley with its own.

I have installed an excellent stadium edits mod, whereby the author has used the FM Editor to make English stadiums as faithful to real life as possible. I've just played an FA Cup semi-final, supposedly at Wembley, against Manchester United, with united drawn first in the draw You could clearly see it wasn't Wembley but Old Trafford, right down to the red/white goal nets from the graphics during the match So is FM22 actually acknowledging neutral grounds?
