Assuming all transfer responsibilities are with you AND the players are not on the developmental list?

I know people will say its realistic because the new season has begun, but that makes no sense when you think of World Cup's. Teams refuse to accept bids until after world cups all the time, to get higher valuations, same with players. There is 0 reason a players value should be affected by an arbitrary date change in the system.

Lock it to regular starter. then weed out the lowest leagues. That way your players only play at the highest possible level based on their ability. Also keep an eye out for clubs in relegation battles wanting your players. I'd rather a player play in League 1 and be in the top half of the table than be in a Championship relegation team. The ONLY exception is teams getting relegated from the Premier League, the losses are worth the regular game time

If you shout at the team at HT, then they proceed to still be bad and lose/draw a game they were supposed to win/draw, you yell at them at FT again, then an article pops up in your inbox, saying (insert player name) told the press how the head coach had kept them locked in the locked room to yell at them. its been in the games for at least 2 iterations (FM22/FM23)

That would make sense if they didnt immediately go to the press after the match and tell them that we had yelled at them and locked them in the locker room. Also yelling demand more is not the same as berate, demanding more is something coaches do 100% of the time in real life every few minutes in the second half. Cant claim to be realistic if you arent being realistic A lot of the shouts make no sense. Up 3 goals, and concede a goal, shout focus, and now they're overwhelmed/confused. WHAT? Doesnt matter if youve got a professional squad or an amateur one, they all react the same. highly unrealistic. The shouts system needs a complete overhaul or removal. The current system doesnt work as intended/realistically.

I would point to the start of any save game. Every team has low potential players in their U231s sitting there training. In real life, these players are being trained by the first and U21 team coaches in specific roles and positions. Within 1-2 years in-game, we've sold/released these players and no U18s are coming in to replace them unless they've got potential, another immersion breaking issue.

TBF to them, that's your fault. You cant expect professional players to react positively when made aware of expectations of them. That would be too realistic. Maybe in FM 2030, if they have time left over after the data hub's 10th minor update

True in real life, but with professional players in-game, during the half time talk (if winning by 1 goal or drawing/losing) if I thrash arms and say they've been ****, they get fired up, but then if I demand more in-match, suddenly they're moody. Highly unrealistic and immersion breaking

I think the loyalty attribute needs to play a stronger role here. If the player is very loyal, they shouldnt make demands of the club, unless theyre being severely underpaid. It needs to be implemented

Another addition would be to remove fan opinion on U18s being bought. I buy backup U18 Gks to sit on the bench for my U18s and my fans get pissed and give me an E rating. 99% of the time fans dont care/know about the U18s being bought into the fold when they're not first teamers, or havent cost any money

Agreed. I think they want you to use individual traits to get around it

On Original mode, signing Dybala for his release clause has resolved a lot of issues. With most of the midfield out, a tactic with fewer midfielders might be the go-to in the early game

This is a general issue. Win the league by a few games, play the kids and suddenly they think theyre squad players. No Jimmy, youre not a squad player because I'm resting starters for a champions league final run. For all the match engine intelligence, SI need to focus on making your players and staff intelligent

This would also be a great way to directly influence the club vision (the current system is un-usable as no matter what you suggest, the board refuses to budge on their original vision). Being able to negotiate that the club will change its vision to yours (based off reputation and success level of course + team respect etc, Alex Ferguson would have gotten them to put in a Maccas on the pitch if he threatened to leave and join Madrid/Barca) would be a great negotiating tool, alongside the money aspect

This would make the potential of a Jamie Vardy happening again so much better. Of course a cap on the potential increase would be appropriate to ensure national league players dont become world beaters at 28 regularly
