  1. My Spanish B team plays in a league against clubs in Nigeria, Congo, Germany and Bosnia? Do you see that its kind of an issue if my players are getting fatigued from games that I don't know they are playing? How does this affect training? After all I have no idea when these games happen, so I'm probably scheduling training on those days... are my training sessions getting cancelled to play these fake games?
  2. I know. It is very apparent to the customers that FM24 was an afterthought. Unfortunately, SI still billed full price for this half worked game
  3. Ze Porto - Huelva 2038.12.20.fm is when I noticed the problem below, Ze Porto - Huelva 2038.09.05.fm is from a week before the first phantom B team game happens... In the past I've been frustrated when I will have friendlies auto-scheduled for my B team (or even main team), even if I selected to not let friendlies be scheduled for me. But those games would at least show up in the schedule, even I wasn't able to cancel them (also aggravating). Now I have a somewhat different issue. My Spanish B team (which is just so annoyingly useless, they've just sat there as a friendlies-only team for decades now, I really hate my FM can't make B teams matter) is playing hidden games against random teams in Nigeria, Congo, Bosnia and Germany. I have not scheduled these games, and they do not show up on B team fixtures. If you go to my B team fixtures you will see the last played game was a friendly against Porto B 24/10/38. But click on a player, like GK Daniel Simon, and go to his form and you'll see a host of games (starting in September) that he has played against those random teams as well as the games he played in that I actually scheduled and are visible on the fixtures game. I noticed this when an U19 player (Dumpierrez) showed up with fatigue issues. I couldn't figure out how that was possible, then I looked at his form and noticed him playing in all these extra games. He is an especially weird situation I think because he is assigned to u19 and not B, he is in my u19 starting line up. He has not been made available for B team minutes. But he has actually not played any games with the u19s, and has only played B team friendlies. If you select him and go to Squad the options are "move to A team" or "move to B team," which tells me he is on u19. But if you select "Available for u19" you'll see he has somehow been marked unavailable for u19s. I know I did not select this. Completely bizarre situation. Prayers for real, useful B teams in FM25!
  4. Yes I figured it was a UI issue and the squad was on holiday, and I expected a similar response. It is vexing, however, to continually be told "oh its just a visual or UI thing,", which is the reply many of us got for the issue about playing time displayed. This is a video game! It is a visual medium, waving away repeated errors do the very interface the users are supposed to interact with feels disrespectful to the paying customers. If the UI is broken, the game is broken. The high volume of these errors in FM24 makes me very unsure as to how to best navigate the game. It is difficult to have to guess which screens "count" as meaningful and accurate information, and which ones are just another glitch.
  5. Ze Porto - Huelva 2038.12.20.fm save file On the training screen my A team is shown as being on holiday break until Dec 24, with no training assigned until then. But when you move forward in time the game shows a current schedule that features a lot of training. My B and u19 team are not on holiday break, but the training schedule shown does not match the training schedules that either of those squads are assigned. Is my squad on break or training? FM24contpage.png screenshot shows the screen as the game moves forward in time and shows training, FM24training.png screenshot shows the training screen showing the team on break The volume of these minor issues adds up to something very confusing and aggravating! Feels like a severe absence of care quality control and customer respect in FM24, a purchase I deeply regret.
  6. If you take Ze Porto - Huelva 2038.12.03.fm and go to Dec 4 you will be prompted to have a team leader meeting of the 2 team captains and Bernat Diaz. The subject of the meeting is... Bernat Diaz. If you tell the group that Diaz is asking for unreasonable things, the 2 captains will agree but Diaz (unsurprisingly) will disagree and say (in the 3rd person!) "He has done as much as he can, what more does he have to do to earn a new deal." Feels off, feels like SI forgot to make it a different player in the meeting when it is about his own contract. I had, of course, previously had a one on one with Diaz about his desire for a new contract when he raised the issue. While I have obviously had players come to me wanting a new contract, and I've had team leaders come to me demanding a contract for a teammate, I've never had the subject of the new contract request be one of those leaders that comes to me... who then speaks about himself in the 3rd person. In fact, just 2 days prior, the same group, 2 captains and Diaz, came to me about a contract for a different player (Brian Kelly). That one went how I assume that interaction is supposed to go, I talk to those 3 team leaders about Kelly's request. In that instance it went the same way actually. I could convince the 2 captains but Diaz disagreed saying "What more is he supposed to do?," that is a fine and realistic outcome of course, but it feels more bugged when it repeats exactly a couple days later with Diaz himself as both subject and participant
  7. Ok, so I made Champions Lg Table after a 2 legged qual round. Conveniently my weekly auto save actually landed on the morning before the 2nd tie. So I've uploaded that Ze Porto - Huelva 2038.08.25.fm, you'll have to beat Celtic again for me to make it happen haha. In that save it shows 299 days left of the Europa Lg promise to Jairo Moreno My previous season Europa Lg ended after the 2nd leg of the knockout stage against Olympique Lyonnais on Feb 18 2038. The most recent save I have before that is Jan 29, a day after I ended League Table play. So maybe you could take Ze Porto - Huelva 2038.01.29.fm and then fail like I did against OL a couple weeks later and prompt Jairo & Co. to take me to task? You could also take Ze Porto - Huelva 2038.06.19setfornewseason.fm which I've uploaded previously for other reasons to start the '38-'39 season and go from there. Hope that helps, let me know how those work
  8. After a shambolic flop in the Europa League last year my players rightfully took me to task for our failure to reach the latter stages of the tournament, and I promised we would the next year. Well, as it happened, we qualified for Champions League instead! I was wondering what would happen to that promise, it showed 200~ days left on it for most of Sept, but now, out of nowhere on Sept 22, a week after my first Champions League match (a draw), I have an email saying that one of my captains is unhappy about the failure to progress in the Europa League and is considering his future. How does SI think I am supposed to progress in a tournament I'm not in? Why do interactions continue to be such a fiasco? And why did this happen now? It didn't happen when we qualified for Champ Lg, it didn't happen after either Champ or Europa Lg matches began, it didn't happen on the promise due date... makes no sense... I was expecting the player to maybe be happy to reach Champions and forget about the Europa goal, but I figured maybe he'd hold us to reaching the latter stages (or at least giving a good showing in) Champ Lg. That would be tough but fair. Instead this nonsense.. Save is Ze Porto - Huelva 2038.09.22.fm, I know you've got many other earlier files from me as well but let me know if you need an earlier
  9. Very minor, but the Champions League prediction odds email I just got doesn't make sense. It says "0 teams have been made 11-2 joint favorites to win Champions League this season... The rest of the contenders are priced at: 11-2 Liverpool, 11-2 Arsenal, 13-2 Man City, 13-2 Chelsea, 15-2 Real Madrid, 9-1 Inter" Screenshot OddsFM24, Save file Ze Porto - Huelva 2038.09.05.fm
  10. Which also feels like an issue that should be addressed if the game isn't capable of displaying correct reasons for things IMO. Like with the issue on playing time displayed, why have the game say anything at all if it can't be correct? Try file Ze Porto - Huelva 2038.06.19setfornewseason.fm
  11. Just had an 18 year old South African center back sign for a Saudi club instead of my perennial Europa/Champions League Spanish squad for the reason that "he feels their squad is much stronger." My club was 4th in La Liga last season, so we'll be in the Champions qualifying playoff. The Saudi league is unloaded, but they don't appear to be in any Asian competition. The Saudi squad only has 3 actual players, the others are all grayed out ghost players. They have a 2.5 reputation vs my 3.5 rep. Very unrealistically for Saudi vs Europe he is going to be making less than 10% more in salary with them than me. Sorry to be a leaky faucet, as always I'm not really worried about my team or save. I can find another center back, I am more curious/worried how the game is coming to these conclusions and wanted to bring this to your attention. I wouldn't have thought twice if he had signed with them for money or better path to the first team, but he's not getting paid much more and didn't mention path to first team football as a reason and I'm at a loss in trying to figure out how the game views this mostly ghost player Saudi team as better than a Champions league squad? Maybe those 3 real players they have are strong and so their average actual player is stronger than mine (if you figure my "average" is being brought down by youth and B teamers)? I hope thats not it, wouldn't really make sense Ze Porto - Huelva 2038.06.22.fm
  12. I hear you, but its not like he's ever been an "Emergency Backup" at any point this season. He was always playing in most matches, and starting occasionally. And last season it showed him as Surplus, despite similar playing time. Less worried about the situation of my own team than how the game can view that level of playing time as Emergency or Surplus
  13. Please look at Hong Chang Soo on Ze Porto - Huelva 2038.04.12.fm Actual Playing Time is showing Emergency Backup (and previously has shown Surplus) but player has appeared in 21 of 33 Liga matches so far this season (11 starts) and has started 5 of the last 7 matches. His agreed playing time is Squad Player but he will complain about not getting enough playing time. I think that level of playing time is at least Impact Sub and probably Squad Player. I wouldn't be mad if it showed him as Impact Sub but he wanted a few more starts to be a proper Squad Player, but it's definitely not Emergency Backup, so kind of driving me crazy the game thinks that. Have seen this before with a couple other guys but this is the most glaringly incorrect one. Another guy, 21 year old Fidel Pena, is not playing a lot (4 starts, 9 subs in 33 La Liga matches) but his actual time is shown as Youngster... which just doesn't make sense.
  14. Gotcha, thanks! So as long as their status is youngster to breakthrough prospect I should be ok promising them that. The benefit, as I see it, is that if you've broken some promises you then lose the ability to promise guys things and have them believe you. IE, a guy comes to me complaining about playing time, I promise him it will improve, and he'll say "nah, buzz off, can't trust you, you've broken too many other promises". So I'm trying to make and keep easy promises to get my success rate on that back up
  15. Sometimes a youth teamer, or someone else that never sees the field for the first team, gets hurt and you'll have the option of consoling them OR promising them that the injury won't affect their playing time when they return. I'm always tempted to select the promise of "this won't affect your playing time" (because you weren't bloody getting any in the first place kid!) to boost my successful promise rate... but I'm afraid of it backfiring if it somehow means I do have to actually play the scrub on return to fulfill it. Anyone tried this, anyone know?
  16. Did this ever get addressed in FM24? I have imported a Spanish FM23 save into it and the bug still exists... does it work the same way for new FM24 saves?
  17. Just realized how typo'd the header was haha. Should read... "Team Home Screen showing my leading scorer as a nobody I have given a trial to"
  18. As it is, it is nearly impossible to find form information for players not on your team. The game says that it is unavailable unless you add the guy to a shortlist. But even then, some guys you have on a shortlist and you'll get a message "player's form is being tracked by backroom staff but no information is available yet." It's weird that, in real life, I can sit here on my laptop and get game by game data on guys in Portugal's freaking Liga 3 (barely professional football!) but in FM my La Liga team can't see that about another player in dadgum La Liga. In real life I can easily lookup which games a guy has played in, at what position, what minute they were sub'd on on off, what minute they got a yellow or red card at, if they scored or assisted and, for games they didn't play in, if they were an unused sub or not on the bench at all, and if they were not on the bench if that was for injury or other reasons. Feels very weird that for some reason SI thinks that info can't or shouldn't be shown in FM. Not asking for detailed scouting info, fair to make that something you only see via shortlisting, but simple data like this should be easily visible for any player in any kind of even slightly serious league you have loaded
  19. It gets better, if you continue through August 31st you will KEEP getting the notification, I wound up getting TEN of them in total on that one day... arriving every 1-2 hours.
  20. Parma has made a loan approach for an Inter striker I have on my shortlist (and thus get notifications for) literally every single day for a month. Sometimes (like today), I will get the same email describing that loan approach THREE TIMES, every few hours. It has gone on like this for a month I think. Most recent save uploaded (with the 3 notifications in one day) is Ze Porto - Huelva 2037.08.31.fm but I also uploaded the same file name but ending in 08.29 for a different issue and it is visible there as well. Just look in email for Parma make loan approach for Villamarin. Screenshot is uploaded as LoanError
  21. I just picked up a couple of trialists from tiny US clubs. Now, on the top goal scorer, highest avg rating and most assists spot on my team home page it lists these guys.. because they had been racking up goals in the fake games the game generates stats from from tiny leagues. Probably a good move to make the game only count goals, assists, avg rating actually made for your team when showing your top scorer. save file is Ze Porto - Huelva 2037.08.29.fm
  22. I'm in 2037 with Recre Huelva, been at it 15 game years now (wow). I played around with FM24 when it first came out but got annoyed with some bugs... what is the post update consensus on 24 now? Should I move the save over before my next season? Anything new to be aware of and adjust for in 24?
  23. Note: I'm speaking from an experience I had in FM23, but I don't think anything is different in FM24. After 15 seasons in charge of Recre Huelva I've finally gotten suspended from the touchline for a game for complaining about my player's red card! Pretty fun feature honestly, didn't even realize it was possible. My only problem with it is that, though I got to set a lineup in the pregame, when the game actually started a completely different 11 was on the pitch than I selected. My exhausted DM, who was due for a day off, was starting at CD, and my backup striker, a natural AF, was starting even though the tactic called for a DLF type (like my starter is). Pretty aggravating. I like the experience of being suspended, and having a game where you can't manage, its a fun twist, but IRL a suspended manager is still going to set the tactic and starting 11 even if he can't be on the touchline to handle in game adjustments/subs. Its especially annoying because, on games you manage, once you've set the lineup you can't change it pre-game if you realize you've made a mistake. But I guess the AI can change it for you... So, please FM, keep the occasional suspensions, but allow the suspended manager to at least set his preferred starting 11 before the match
