[What do y'all want to see removed/upgraded in FM25?]

I'd just like a bit more randomness in the game and I'd like to see more realism in ownership etc.

 

For example, I'd like to see a bit more understanding of what an owner is about. Are they ever going to expand the stadium or are they just flat out against it? Are they there to make money so will keep budgets down, or even are they going to almost kill the club by strangling it?  Plus I'd like to see a bit more falling out with owners.

 

The same with the players really. I'd like to see say Haaland falling out with Guardiola or running his contract down.

 

And yeah echoing most guys, backroom staff need to be much better.

 

Gameplay wise I'd like to see a bit more depth to player form.  We get poor goalscoring streaks but no real reason behind it, a bit more about it eg they're just struggling, if they struggle alongside a specific player etc etc.

 

I guess I'd just like my saves to feel a bit more unique or a story really.  I do think it's almost too predictable what will happen in the Gameworld.

[FM23 signing youth]

I think there's pros and cons but room for refinement.  What I'd like to see is a battle for the young players based upon some logic and variety.

 

So make it possible but not easy so that if you do get someone really cheap and early there's a bit of a buzz and excitement as opposed to buying up 25 youngsters cheap.

I also agree it should follow the rules of the world and be stated as such particularly in the UK, as well as say Brazilian youngsters more likely to move to a Portuguese or Spanish club than Scotland.

It needs a balance and I'm intrigued as to how hard it will be.  What we don't want is an inability to take any youngster or an ability for man city to sign every one easily. It should be tough and you should lose out to teams you don't expect just randomly sometimes.

Of course its even more fun to grow your own local youth.

My feedback is I'm kind of torn on the changes.  It feels like the match engine has slightly more realism with the changes so I guess that is a positive. But there is a frustration that I've built a team to play the way I wanted to very successfully and now post patch it's much less successful.

 

But we must always accept progress and work with it I guess. I hope future changes keep the match engine consistent as I don't massively have the time to consider a rebuild and investigate the match engine changes.  Having said that I guess in future we'd like a match engine that can spot our weaknesses much more  and have to fight those. I don't envy the developers, it's a balance between reality and making it too difficult/time consuming for the casual player.

Can't seem to see it mentioned anywhere but in the vision section it appears the objectives are broken.  I failed in Europe as the objective appeared to change after being eliminated and it's saying they're disappointed with the league performance (I'm 6 pts clear).  Is it a known issue? Seems quite fundamental.

As for the rest I quite like it so far, it's quicker than the last fm and I like a few aspects of the match engine which feels slicker despite the known issues.  Set pieces seem quite effective but really pleased VAR is working right.

[help me understand why i can't sell certain players]

One issue I have is loaning players out in the Dutch league, any suggestions? I have loads of good young players that I can't get out on loan yet they seem good enough to play elsewhere?

 

I think it's because I only have two levels selected and for some reason I can't add more lower leagues in the add/remove section, why is that?

[[FM 21] Eredivisie]

Hi all, fair few seasons in playing as Breda (joined 2025).  Question I have, does the opportunity to present your own b team in the structure ever arise?  I'm finding it tough to loan out young players despite many being quite good thus stunting development.  Any ideas?

Not sure if this is in the right place but in the player of season why is it only players who play DC that get selected?

On a similar vein in my San Marino game my owner is accepting bids of around 1k for good Regens due to financial status. Clearly that will make no difference and is clearly under valued.

Even more frustrating if I then offer one of these players out clubs are bidding 40k easily. Seems a little flawed or is there another reason?  Perhaps my chairwoman is just stupid?
