Who are your favorite signings so far?
sugarbear0511 replied to Dustman2015's topic in Good Player & Team Guide
Tommaso Baldanzi for 21M to Newcastle to replace Emile Smith-Rowe who is on loan but has a 206M optional buy clause. Baldanzi has been superb so far. -
crazy how FM 17 looks exactly the same as FM 24 lol.

I second this. Only by AI goals though Keeper won't try to collect the cross and it will go through defenders like they're not even there.

[24.2] Through balls in central positions
sugarbear0511 commented on Sunstrikuuu's issue in Player Behaviour
as of now I'd say that 14 out of 15 through ball to my striker that resulted in a goal is always offside. It's really frustrating especially if you have midfielders with 15+ pass, 15+ vison and 15+ decision. Almost all my goals now come from long range shot from outside the box. this is a bit ridiculous. -
so I'm a little confused here did you try the tactic by fully play the whole season or did you just go on holiday?
-
the RNG is wild without it. The results will always favor clubs who don't have to play a lot of matches. For example I try the same tactic with newcastle and everton. Everton finished 3rd while newcastle struggled to finish 9th. They both have roughly the same quality if anything one can argue newcastle's squad have a better average CA but the schedule is killing them.
-
I'm just curious when you guys test tactics by going on holiday for the whole season do you use the editor to freeze players condition at 100%. It seems there's a big difference in results between team that play in europe and team that just compete in their own domestic league. big RNG variance here.

@knap just curious if you have any tactics that's not gegenpress like manchester city-esque
-
yes and my strikers are not sunday leaguers either, Isak and Osimhen. I think SI really tweak one on one situation to heavily favor goalies. My strikers have less than 50-50 chance I would say when one on one and only slightly better at converting tap ins. It feels like the 'place shots' trait is useless now. They keep trying to blast the ball into the net even at point blank range.
-
It will be interesting if someone can test if the individual attributes really make significant difference in performance like the work rate you mention or the difference in shots on goal between a striker with 20 finishing and 1 finishing. I do notice the lack of tackling this year. Defenders just wander around doing nothing, not marking or anything.

what bug? Obviously man city can't compete with the riches of ajax amsterdam
-
@knap thanks for all the tactics. I'm having a great first season right now using your MC 451 tactic with newcastle but I'm having a difficult time against weaker team that sit in low block 7-0-2-1 formation. I try lowering the tempo and turning on 'work ball into box' to be more patient and dominating possession but it's still not very consistent and I'm getting quite a bit of 0-0 even 0-1 losses against this negative formation. Do you have any suggestions?

Fining and Disciplining Players

I guess I'll just banish them to the U18 squad instead -
Are Goalkeepers underperforming in FM24?
sugarbear0511 replied to phd_angel's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
unusual number of mistakes by goalies. especially when they're not 100% match fit like when you bring in your back up to play a cup match against a league 2 side -
this is because 4 out 5 long shots from the edge of the box are always on target and quite deadly. This is totally unrealistic. I have james maddison scores 28 goals almost all from long shots and free kicks
-
yes, there's almost 0 strikers involvement in this years ME so far. Strikers rarely score from open play only from penalty, corner, free kick or rebound.

Are Goalkeepers underperforming in FM24?
sugarbear0511 replied to phd_angel's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
not the keeper underperforming but the defenders positioning are so bad and long range shots now are like laser beam straight to the corner literally unblockable. If you have a player with good long range shot and finishing (maddison) and you put him on shoot often he will rack up 20+ goals a season -

I simulated a few different tactics with newcastle and it seems 4231 is the meta this year, especially 4231 asymmetric with the AM to one flank and lone striker to the other. The defenders tend to double mark the striker leaving the AM in a ton of space to score a lot of goals.
-
It's not the finishing that's too good but defenders are playing like sunday league players. Not tackling, not marking, not tracking runners, etc
-
The same issue with FM23 is back. Defenders positioning just don't make sense. Defenders not marking, not tackling even running away from opposing ball carrier. Players would dribble forward and then just suddenly stop for no reason and lose the ball, Creative playmakers with high passing and vision would not and could not thread a through pass to save their lives. It's really frustrating
-
yea this is painful to see. CDs don't even tackle or track runners anymore. This is worse then FM23 launch
-
what frustrates me the most is the defender bug which is similar to last year and it's not the quality of my defenders either. They're not best in the world but if we're (premier league side) having these problems playing at home against a league 2 side, something is up.
-
It's weird in FM24. It looks like IF/IW/W are not crossing to the striker but cutting the ball back to the edge of the box to your CMs/IWBs just like in FM22. I guess this is SI's way to limit strikers racking up 80-90 goals a season. I also notice some odd behaviour from defenders just standing around and not tackling when an opposing player dribble straight at them. In some occasions my player will surge forward with the ball and then just stop to let opposing defender take the ball. It's very frustrating
-
I guess what I mean is that to employ gegenpress myself, not pressing them back while having the ball. The tactic itself already is playing at the highest tempo setting I'm going to tell my players to dribble less and pass into space and see what happen.
