Hello
Could someone from SI confirm that the future update with the January transfers will be available and in Real World mode so the transfers will take place at the real dates and not from the beginning?
Because any January transfer update we try to apply manually the players start from the beginning of the season even when we choose the real word mode
Thank you in advance

So the next patch will be on March? Or is there a chance we'll have something earlier ?

At the moment your tactic is all in on containing the opposition (double pivot in the CM strata, two wingbacks going forward, step up more, counter press etc.). A TI like prevent short GK distribution is counter productive for what you're trying to do. Once the opposition turnover possession they're easily in on goal and that's showing in the numbers.
Height on the DM or playing the pivot in the DM strata helps to reduce counters with a pressing style significantly. You need specific player profiles to be defensively resolute w/an approach like this.
Pace in the backline helps as well. Your current center back partnership is slow as (10,12 + 13,13) and every attacking lineup can run past you with that. Both wingbacks are going forward so they won't be in position to defend counter attacks and the SK has no physical presence to sweep up behind them. He's also got Aerial Reach 12 which is its own disaster. Again, there's no safety net for when they beat your press and once they've actually got the ball all they have to do is poke it into space and you're done.
If you want to set out to continue controlling games w/ the current set of players, move your Defensive line back to standard or at least have one of the quicker fullbacks sit back.
I tried this but now even I do not concede many goals(but still) I also score less too...I have only the right WB on attack a DM on Defend a BWM(R) on Defend and a DLP(L) on support

Yes many are from counter attacks and the rest are from throw ins or corners...My players rarely do mistakes but when the ball is lost we cannot get it back unless the opponent finishes the attacking movement....

@Alekos Another thing to try is to narrow the width and use much shorter passing, I see you lose possession sometimes, maybe check "run at defense" too so that the players will pass less and try to get past their opponents, you have good players for this.
OK i changed my formation to 433 and I applied the above, I dominate possession even more but how is it possible to get so many chances and goals against me??
Something I don't understand...In real life with those numbers in possession is very rare to concede so many chances and goals in every single game....

I think it's a players issue, Palacios,Sporar, Bernard all don't have aggression (though Palacios has extreme work rate), so I guess this is it. I'd try switching to 433, bring Mancini next to Arao and Bernard left and make Arao a BWM-su, the role fits him and he will be breaking attacks higher up the pitch.
Maybe it's a players issue but still the stats are a bit weird as you can see in the following sheets...

Changed them to support nothing really changed

10 hours ago, chvrches said:I don’t know what your possession numbers look like but usually teams that have high avg possession don’t win the ball back as much simply because they have the ball so often. Can’t win the ball back if you already have the ball.
Not the case as you can see in the attached screenshots...AEK is 3rd in average possession and top on winning it back...
So we are TOP in possession and pass completion ratio and last at winning it back and this is a big problem because the opposition makes so many chances against us and scores lots of goals... I cannot even hold a clean sheet....

Hello guys
I have decided to take a closer look in data hub trying to address some problems for my team...First of all I have to say that I am not sure if I read them right...
Even though the team is performing well above the average team in the League in my opinion I concede more goals than expected and many shots and from the data hub the main problem that I have found is the that we infrequently win the ball and we are the bottom in this category even that our possession and passing is good...
I attach the graphs and my team formation in order to be more specific
Any help or any guide to study will be much appreciated!!

We've got a preview of some of what you can expect in the next update available HERE, coming out in early December.
Thank you all again for your patience and feedback.
Could you be more specific for example for high amount of goals and xGs?

The goals you are seeing in the game are from a Fiorentina in 2025 that is the best team in the world, so the comparison would be against the GPG Manchester City scores in the present.
Fiorentina in the game: 106 goals in 32 matches for 3.3 GPG
Manchester City last 32 matches: 100 goals in 32 matches for 3.1 GPG
Again, perhaps there are too many goals in the game. I haven't played or tested enough to have a strong opinion.
It would be nice if you and anyone else who is clueless about how to provide the proof would calm down a bit.
Simulating leagues and looking at the total goals scored is the way to do it. Some users have done it, maybe even yourself. SI are investigating. You can stop trying to drown every comment in this thread with terrible arguments.
Lol...Meanwhile every team is scoring way more above average not ony top clubs but even the small ones...There are so many posts in the bug section and all over the net with that issue

I have so many matches where it seems like I dominate possession, get like 20 shots, but only 8 on target and score 1-2 goals. Yet the opposition, while only getting 4-5 shots, puts 3-4 on target and scores 1-2 goals. This seems to happen a lot in matches I should be winning comfortably. I'm playing as Juventus in year 3, I have a pretty strong squad and most of the clubs I am playing I should be defeating comfortably at this point. Is this how it should be, or is the game just gaming me?
I have exactly the same experience...I dominate possesion at around 70% make much more shots than them but almost at every highlight for the opponent is a sure goal for them...As most people in here mentioned there is a big problem with high conversion rates for every team even a small one which do not ever happen in real life and cannot understand where is the root of the problem....The game at this state is so random that no matter what your opponent will score at the first chance....At least in previous versions you could hold a 0 if you played for it....I am going to review all my games and check if the problem with so many goals is coming from bad defending after throw ins or set pieces

OK...I was a bit sceptic about all those bugs that the other people are mentioning and decided to try the demo....SI are you serious? The most polished version ever?I don't know from where to start
Not many hours in the demo and already found a bunch of bugs and I wonder how the testers haven't noticed them....
I started my save with Panathinaikos and the follwing have occured:
1) 5-6 of my players have attracted interest from Saudi clubs which is unreal
2) I have drawn to Genk for the Second Qualifying Round of CL League Path and the first question I received from the journalists was "What is my opinion on playing with the same team 2 games in a row"...LOL? IS CL you idiot...YOU DO play two legs!!!
3) There was the CL sheet with the stars in the middle of the pitch before the start of the game which again is false since it was still the qualifying round
4) I had to leave some squad players out of the CL registration (as IRL) and all came to me asking me why I left them out!!! I tried to make them understand that it was hard to pick since there are registration rules or even that I want them for the Greek League (that what happens again IRL)... 5 players are upset and they want me to promise that i will register them ASAP...Unreal again...IRL those players stayed out of European registration and they give their best in the Greek Super League
5) Too many goals scored in my games but even more in the rest of the other matches of qualifying rounds (3-3, 4-3 ,5-0, 3-2, 2-3, 7-1 etc.)
6) No subs from the opposition managers...I was winning away at Genk 1-0 from the 47th minute and till the 90th they have made NOT A SINGLE SUB and most of their players where exhausted....They equalized at 90+1 and then they made 2 subs...LOL???In the second leg in our home they were losing again and finished the game with 1 SUB because their GK got injured in the 57th minute....Next game against Braga and again only 1 sub because a player injured even there was 1 more with orange injury indicator that played the full match...
Found so many bugs already and still havent played more than 4 official games....I can't imagine what will happen in the near future
So most of the guys here are absolutely right that those CRITICAL BUGS make the game unplayable at the moment and it is a bit of disgrace to all of us loyal fans (since CM97/98) to release the game at this kind of state and you did not fix ANY of those bugs already mentioned almost a month ago....
I ask again what the testers are doing the whole year and are unable to spot all those eye catching bugs that you see from the beginning of a career
Every year the same problems and some are even worse.....What a pitty....
Well sorry but the game is TOTALLY unplayable at the moment as I go deeper in to my save...Was hoping for the best and most polished version ever as advertised but I am sure that is even worse than before....For me is so hard to believe that the game was released at this kind of state....The goals galore is unbelievable and makes the game unplayable...It is impossible to have around 70% ball possession in every game and always concede at least 3 goals because either the goalkeeping is terrible or defending, or the attackers always find the target...It might happen once in a while IRL but in this version it happens in every single game no matter what kind of tactic and line of engagement you choose...It seems like the ME does not take into account any of those...This is NOT a football manager simulation but more of a Polo or Hockey Manager...I had so many expectations for this years release and I"m left dissapointed...What worries me the most is if there is a chance that all those bugs will be fixed ASAP or we'll stay with another broken version of the game and have to wait till March to fix only some since most bugs do exist for many many years....
P.S Even the time fixtures are so wrong since there is no way a game between the big 5s of the Greek Superleague to play a game at 14.00 on Sunday and also after a european fixture which is either on Monday or Sunday night.....

Matches are a bit dull. Way too much passing in the back because the other team is not pressing (intelligently) enough and exposing themselves. It feels like any teams can get 90% pass completion in a match on a good day.
Not a single team in the top leagues has under 84% pass completion. That is highly unrealistic:
Report it then in bugs forum

This means no update until March 1st. And then if they test the last version of database, a few days more. And then if they say let's wait the Turkish transfer window close, we have to wait until 7th March. And if they test the last version of that database, a few days more...
And a few days more and we go straight to FM2024...

The PL today was a perfect example of the idea that 1v1s are flawed in this game. Liverpool had two that were basically 1v1s and scored both. Think Maddison scored one as well.
On the other hand, Wolves had several and didn't to score any. My point that you cannot have a one size fits all approach as each player is fundamentally different. That's what separates the very good to the world class, in many respects.
Mane just missed one...

In my opinion if the following can be addressed then we might have a very smooth match engine:
1)Reduce 1v1 by reducing long balls from defenders to strikers
2)Better conversion of 1v1 and better finishing from strikers
3)Less shooting from wingers and more passing to free players
4)More through balls to strikers and more central play if has been set through tactics
If the SI team can find a balance between all those issues we might talk for one of the best game experiences of late...

The easiest tactic by far is to have most of your team hang back, so there is space in behind, and then ping long balls in behind the other team.
Long balls from defenders and wide shots from fullbacks are WORLD CLASS,
Long balls in behind are pin point.
Yet as soon as you get near the box everyone can't see each other or forgets entirely how to pass. Its a ME issue,Exactly!!
And forgot to mention that those pin point passes are from my Forest Green defenders...

Ok after some games playing the demo I have noticed the most problems that have already been mentioned...
Too many 1vs1 lost because of too many long passes over the top from defenders to strikers...I am playing 4-4-2 Wing Play I have won 3 friendlies 4-0 5-0 5-0 and most of my goals came from long passes from defenders
I have noticed also that my wingers prefer to shoot rather than pass....
In my opinion passes over the top have to be toned down in order to reduce so many 1 on 1
The game is unplayable for me at this stage...I don't want just to win I want to see some real football with more inteligence...Is unacceptable that this ME passed the tests and came with the official release of the game...
