Even if it is "realistic", just based on how many emails the game already sends you about worthless stuff, it should at least send you one letting you know that a player has accepted a pre-contract with another club, regardless if I was going to sign them again or not. It's kinda nice to know where a player is going.

It'll happen soon after the CL final. Dont get your hopes up for Friday.

Essentially, the focuses don't return players who don't have transfer interest.
When it comes to U18s, since most of them have no transfer interest until they turn 18, your focus won't return anything.
It is very stupid, and I don't know why they changed this and especially why they didn't tell anybody, but it caused a stir in the bugs forum. It's supposedly to stop the user from hoarding wonderkids.
You're better off just manually scouting the U18s of whatever teams you want. Very tedious. Really great decision by SI here.
Here's the mega-thread on the bugs report forum where the users descend into madness until it is finally clarified by the devs:

Yes, my issue was that I can't see who is registered for my B-Team, and I do not have the option to look at registration for that team.
I needed to call up a third keeper as one of mine got called up, and so I tried to call up a U23 keeper, but I kept getting "this player cannot be registered for this match" next to his name.
Like I said, I think the issue is because my B-team is not in a playable league. Although, I was able to call up players in my first season (they may have since gotten relegated from a playable league, I didn't check). I loaded the league in, but I won't be able to test this out until the next season. I really want to take better control of my farm teams (playing with Athletic, so it's pretty important with them) going forward and I didn't realize they were in an unplayable league until now.

So how does one check which B-team players are registered and thus eligible to come up to the main team? My understanding is that U23 players who are registered for the B-team are available to be called up. Do I have that right?
It seems that no matter which players I try to call up, I am still told that they are ineligible. Do I just have to hope that my B-team manager registered the ones I wanted?
My hunch right now is that it is because Bilbao Athletic are not in a playable league (my fault for not loading every playable Spanish league, I don't know why I wouldn't have done that), so there are technically no games to register players for.

It seems that no matter which players I try to call up that meet the criteria of being U23, I am still told that they are ineligible. DO I just have to hope that my B-team manager registered the ones I wanted?
Does it have something to do with my B-team not being in a playable league? I think they are in the fourth tier, and I only have the top three loaded, I believe.

When is the news about FM25? It was promised in the second quarter of 2024.
Sometime before June 30, then.

I started a proper Athletic save last weekend and have been loving it so far. I tried to do one earlier in FM back in December, but it didn't stick (I think because some of the ratings weren't all that accurate to real life), but after the CDR win, I wanted to start again. I matched results for the first season, including the CDR win, and we finished 5th in the league (likely where they will finish irl, so I was good with it).
Nico Williams left for Newcastle, who activated his $97 million release clause, and they did it after the Spanish window was already shut, so I couldn't do anything with the money and was left without an impact player for the first half of the 24/25 season. I bought Aimar in January though and after a slow few games to start, he's been on fire lately, and scored a hatty in a recent game. I've been trying to work out how to get the best out of both him and Sancet in the same team. Sancet was playing my number 10 role before Aimar came in, but because Aimar is probably a better playmaker than attacker, after some tinkering, I decided to put him back in the number 10 role for now, and moved Sancet back into a CM role.
This has caused my early-save crush Benat Prados (been such a pleasure to have in the team this season) into a more defensive role or onto the bench though, which I don't like too much. Vesga is still more than capable for a DM role and I don't want to drop him right now either, so Prados is usually the odd man out, but I try to play him whenever I can. We've had a lot of fixtures between Europa League and the CDR (which we are in the finals of again-- against Real Madrid though, so I think we lose), so he is still playing a lot.
I think for season three, I want to try Aimar wide left in the advanced playmaker role, and Sancet back into the CAM role as an attacking midfielder. I am just hesitant to try it now late in the season. I am also hoping Osasuna get relegated so I can buy Moncayola on his dirt-cheap relegation release clause of about $6 million. I don't really need him, but at that price, you kinda have to.
Anyways, that is a lot of rambling for just about two seasons. This thread has been such a great resource, ad playing as Athletic has really gotten my interest back in the game. Playing as Athletic was what initially inspired me to get into FM back with FM 22, but I think it was too overwhelming a save for me to start out with, and I just never did it, but I am glad to be getting into properly now. Aupa Athletic!

All that money and the board still is taking 30% of transfer revenue.

So I ditched this and went with a slightly different idea.
Instead with the real life results update, you can also have a different start date so I started the save just before this weekends Brentford game. With the idea of taking over Man Utd at the end of the season, picking up where ever we finish and rebuilding from there.
Where is the real results update? And how do I apply it? I've been looking everywhere for info and keep running into a wall. Yes, I know, the editor, but how in the editor.

is it worth starting a new game with this final update? or should I just carry on
Are you planning to manage in the US or China? Do you care that those leagues are up to date?
If the answer is no, then carry on.

Did SI just make a database update where they ONLY fixed transfers made in the US and China? Completely ignoring all other transfers which happened in that time. Even major transfers among managers, but also for example Sweden whose transfer window closes at the end of march. Are the US and China so much more important to the game than all other places in the world?
I believe this line is why Sweden is unchanged:
Additionally, rosters for certain licensed leagues whose seasons run to the calendar year will only be reflective up until the end of the 2023 season and so will not include incoming and outgoing transfers made for 2024.

I think he means that the patch actually fixed it.
I'll believe it when I see it personally, as this issue has affected me for months,

I think I am going to try and manage Koln soon because of their transfer ban. Want to get real results as well to get them in a relegation fight. There are downloads for real results right? Preliminary googling has given me real fixtures (not an issue in Germany) but would that give me real results too? And how would I go about making it work in game? Custom start date?

Yes, please sue them! I'd love the entertainment!

Who said March ?
Typically the only patch once things get to the new year is the winter update, which comes in late Feb/early March.

I find it unbelievable that there won't be another patch until late February at the earliest when scouting hasn't been working for months. I cannot deal with it anymore.
What has it been, one "major" patch since the game came out? I find that really unacceptable for a game of this stature on a yearly release cycle.
I am taking a break from this game until the winter update.

I sincerely hope that OP was typing up the first post, thinking it would be groundbreaking and lead to big change only for it to have been mocked and panned.

I don’t want them scouted just to say how they r doing
If they are on your shortlist, they get scouted automatically, unless you tick off that option.

Rule 1: Not give promise which you cannot fill. Same apply to real life, not matter if it's football or not (being very old lol)
Good luck loaning in a player without having to promise a role though.
Trust me, I tried.

Please, please, PLEASE fix loaning teams recalling players for not playing them in the "right" role.

My Players Being Offered End-of-Contract Deals - No Notifications About it?

Except, you know, when the media announces it. Nobody knew Lewandowski was signing with Bayern until the very day his contract ran out with Dortmund, right?
