[Injury injury injury injury]

I have two physios in prevention, gold and natural and one gold natural rehab. I’m playing Tottenham so my facilities are top notch and I had to change all their training to light because of injuries.

Injury after injury after injury.

i don’t know if it’s because I’m having a good season and the game is rubber banding to make it interesting or if FMM24 now requires a roster of 43 starters to keep up and that’s just the way it is.

3 saves I’ve done, all with top clubs and good facilities, and I can’t keep anyone healthy. I literally have 6 players with month+ long injuries and 2 that just got off injury. I didn’t have this problem with the other versions of this game and I’m trying to adapt but holy cow.

WTF am I doing wrong?

[This game is not in a good place]

As I write this FMM 24 has a rating of 2.1 on the App Store and 1.7 on the Google Play store.

Bugs, Netflix, and the same as last year seem to be the prevailing opinions.

 

Is there an update coming to address bugs and the sluggish launch?

I see that the third division team that I play in the second round of the FA cup still plays like the Galacticos.

[Game Broken - Auto Subs and Tactics]

Just wanted to say 'sorry' for this, its something that escaped our testing and it only occurs on the 'Original' match engine an then only when a save game is reloaded, I've managed to recreate this issue and implemented a fix that we'll get properly tested and out to people as soon as possible.

Until then I'd recommend using the Enhanced match engine if at all feasible upon your devices, this engine incidentally is more fully fleshed out and will allow access to some features missing in the older match engine.

I’m definitely using the enhanced match engine and it’s happening in my game. 

[Game Broken - Auto Subs and Tactics]

I thought this was just me.

So frustrating to set my tactics, then wonder why to game is going to pot only to find your striker is playing a DLF, your AP's are now CM.

I'm glad I have a Netflix subscription and didn't have to pay for this game. It's nearly identical to last year's game.

Pros: - in game editor is not included

-the in game tactics/subs is handy

 

Cons: - switching subs in tactics screen is now tedious, why do we need a separate window and a confirm just to swap someone onto the bench?

- someone turned the injuries to max. I've tried to start 4 seasons and every one has had MAJOR injuries just 1-2 month in, and not just one player, 3 of my players went down with season ending injuries on one save alone. (thank goodness for the editor)

- except carbon copy of last year with a few red borders and an in math shortcut to subs. There's not messing with a good thing, and then there's just mailing it in.  Anything to distinguish this year from last would have been nice.

 

[New leagues and features FMM24?]

In all honesty it sounds like you want to play FM PC on a mobile device and I'd recommend you give FMT/C a spin as that is more akin to that version (I've been involved in both versions and am equally passionate about both, I'd prefer everyone to play the version which suits them best tbh, its not possible to make the 'perfect' game which everyone will love and have time to play - hence we do several variants).

Absolutely not. I’ve tried Touch and it’s way too much to see/play on a phone and I don’t want to play on PC.

What I want is to purchase a new iteration of FMM with an updated roster and literally anything of substance that makes it something more than just a shiny reskin of FMM23.  Unfortunately none of what I want to happen will come to pass and it’s really too bad cause I’ve bought the game every year since it launched on mobile.

I mean I’m still chuffed that Eastside Hockey Manager 07 got scrapped that’s how long I’ve been playing these games and this is probably the most disappointed I’ve been since that happened.

 

[New leagues and features FMM24?]

There’s evolving like beginning to walk on 2 legs and then there’s evolving like developing a slightly longer pinky toe.  FMM is doing more of the latter.  
Is there anything like more options for positions like Mez or WCB, deeper finances, better contract offers and clauses, deeper tactics, control of the reserves, etc, etc, etc.  I haven’t seen anything substantial.  
We can now pat our players on the back and be called a hair dryer.

I mean come on.

[FMM now stuck behind a Netflix subscription!?]

The new “features” are a couple of fluffy text options and badges and a roster update.

It’s the exact same game except so can pat a player on the shoulder after a game and you added a badge or two.

This is heartbreaking.

[FMM now stuck behind a Netflix subscription!?]

This is so disappointing. FMM sales have been declining so they partnered with Netflix as per the developer blog. This is the worst thing that could happen to FMM, not because its on the new platform, but because they don't need to care about it anymore.  FMM sales have been declining because it's been basically a reskin and roster update for as long as I can remember.  Instead of actually innovating or improving it, they just caught the bag of money that Netflix threw at them and are calling it a day.

Brutal
