Yeah 1on1`'s are pointless in this game. No matter who the forward is they miss the overwhelming majority. It happens most years to varying degrees, but it's especially bad in this years ME. It's just something SI either don't see as an issue or are incapable of fixing.

Someone should tell SI that top division strikers are capable of scoring 1v1s. Would be nice if the game reflected real life here.

Quite dissapointing that it's been present for at least 5 years now, would be good to get a bit more transparency on this issue. I know SI dont like it when bugs exist for years so would be good to get some insight.
Good luck with that. It's been something that's come up several times over the years and nothing has been done, I wouldn't hold your breath.

"Devastated" is a frankly ridiculous phrase to use in the circumstances of a football board. In FM 21, I had one season where I won all 5 tournaments that the first team entered, had 12 club home grown players in my first team squad and at the year end review, my board were devastated that I hadn't developed a world class youth system? Club vision and board review is another module that does need some work IMO.
Agreed, I had the same issue in my current save. I won the league and cup double while having 7 youth academy players starting >50% of games and participating in a much higher percentage. Any real life team would have that as a big win for the academy system, but my board were "devastated" with me
In general the boardroom part of the game is lagging badly behind. You can win a league with W37 D0 L1 and your board will still be fuming about that 2-1 loss to Norwich in September, or do the league and Europe double but the board will still ream you for daring to go out in the League Cup semi. It feels bad, and isn't realistic.

That this year is the same as every other game in the last 20 years meaning AI cannot do transfers/squad building to save themselves, rendering single player games almost pointless as you steamroll your way to consecutive titles for decades with no effort.

Game is stupid easy to win on, as usual. It's almost impossible to not get first season Champions League minimum with any team in the game, in whatever league. From there it's just a matter of winning everything every season.
If it wasn't for the game having network save capability i wouldn't even bother to buy it, the game is completely pointless single player with how easy it is.

This stupid loan bug is really annoying me now. Teams are so willing to loan out their players then accept pitiful future fees of half of the amount they want in a transfer, it's such a ridiculous bug and allows big teams to hoover up talent for tiny fees. I've just had £15m for Attila Szalai rejected, but Inter have agreed a 1 year loan with a 1-0m future fee?! Raspadori has been loaned out with a £16m future fee but they rejected £24m? It happens so often and it's completely immersion breaking.

Is this the first year that Epic servers are being used for FM? I can't remember if it was being used before this year or not, but this years game seems to be having more connection/speed issues that i can ever remember before in our network save.

In general the game this year is very good, but the ME still has issues that makes the game a bit frustrating.
Crossing/wide play is very OP to the point where it's very difficult to prevent crosses coming in, and to defend them when they do.
Possessing/passing is a little messed up, as people have said in this thread countless times, so I won't rehash.
VAR is a little boring when 95% of them are awarded after the review. Sample size of a whole season in a network save with four players, so that's effectively four seasons worth of solo player decisions.
However, my most hated thing is the AI constantly underbidding by huge amounts to unsettle players. This is a very real thing that happens, but not every time and not to this degree.
Nobody is cutting around bidding 10-50% of a players value every single time for players who have genuine class at established top tier teams. Imagine someone in real life actually bid £8m for Vlahovic like they can on FM, they'd be laughed out the room and banned from future negotiation ls for wasting time and being disrespectful.
This makes the game infinitely less enjoyable and kills immersion, I hope it's fixed soon.
Wide CBs are absolutely class though. Love the tactical benefit they bring, and how they can be exploited as well.

Our network save has become quite laggy since the patch was applied, with so many pages hanging and loading taking quite a bit longer sometimes.

Jack's was my favourite one. Simple and straight to the point, he outlines all of the new features pretty well.
Definitely a much better video than Zealands. Thanks.

Just watched some of Zealands video on the alpha he has access to. I lasted 5mins before I had to put it off, this guy is horrendously unfunny. Football Manager just doesn't translate well to videos anyway.

Just because YOU didn't want this feature doesn't mean that NOBODY wanted this feature.
LITERALLY NOBODY? So, not a single one out of 1,000,000+ FMers from across the world will use this feature more than once?! Okay, then...
I have never seen a single person ask for this on here, i have never seen it on Instagram posts, i have never seen it on any Youtube comment section and i have never heard any of my friends or people from fan forums down the years ask for this feature. So yes, virtually nobody was asking for this feature, but in the absence of having something interesting to say you just harp on about the meaning of a single word in my post.
I have extreme confidence that a negligible % of people will use this feature more than once, unless of course SI overtune things and deadline day deals are a borderline exploit in how cheap/effective they can be. Which i admit, could happen, but people using a feature because of poor balancing isn't the same as people using it because they want to use it.
EDIT: I did a quick search and in the first 6 or 7 pages of results i found exactly one mention of someone wanting this feature. The thread had zero replies until someone necro'd it after the recent announcement.

It's classic SI to dress up a pointless feature that nobody asked for or wanted as something ground breaking, while ignoring the same complaints people have had for years. This is a feature that literally nobody asked for, nobody wants and nobody will use more than once. This is a complete waste of time and resources and it just blows my mind how anybody at SI could think this is a good idea.
The only thing SI should be focusing on as a new feature would be a completely overhauled AI transfer system, it is the single one feature that would have a tangible positive impact on the entire playerbase and is something people have been requesting vocally for years. But SI never listen, so we always end up with the same pathetic AI that made nonsensical decisions, make absurd demands while bidding peanuts for players, AI clubs demanding you pay £100m then selling to another AI team for £30m the next day or teams who never make transfers at all. Teams have no identity, no squad building ethos and managers barely have individual identities with signings, the game would improve a hundredfold if this was addressed.
But i guess getting a Twitter hypeman to do a flashy video is all the content we actually need, so what do i know.

I explained that in the post and did not accuse you of anything, I simply asked for any reason for negativity. Also complaining I'm too left wing AND too right wing doesn't really make sense.
Anyway, you've made you views known. Let's leave it at that.
You have several times said that everything you've heard people say on the topic boils down to misogyny, one of which is my post, which you are directly replying to. Therefore it is reasonable to assume you are referring to me in your comments. If i said "I've never seen anyone with a spriteart avatar who wasn't a *insert descriptor here*" you would quite rightly assume that i was referring to you, even i didn't name you explicitly, so you're not fooling anyone with this.
Andi never complained about anyone being left wing, i simply stated it is a progressive feature which is being defended in a very conservative manner. I find that amusing, and you trying to twist my words and the narrative again is sad.

Have you actively disliked the announcement of any other feature?
I don't understand the point of this, just say what you want to say.

If this insulted you, then I must have hit a nerve. What "gameplay" reasons do are you referring to? The option to add it? For what it's worth, I haven't called anyone who haven't outed themselves as one a misogynist in here. I've wrote that I haven't heard any reasonable reason to NOT include women's football other than misogynist ideas and statements. And that is something I still think. I've not said a thing about those saying, I don't have any interest in it, because that's a perfectly fine response for those who don't care about it, but going out of your way to be negative about it without any reason behind it makes it quite obvious that misogyny the reason. If you think I or anyone else in here have called you anything you are offended by, I'd advise you to report us by using the "contact us" button at the bottom here.
That is true, and I don't think it will be a major turnaround here either, but as Miles wrote, they do this to make women included into the game, not for financial gains in the short term. Once again, if you don't want to manage in the women's leagues, then don't. I don't like to manage in the MLS because the whole thing is just wrong in my mind, so I just leave it alone. You can do the same for this.
Because SI wanted to put the money in to do this. You are certainly entitled to say that you think SI should have invested more in the game in previous years. That is a valid complain, but SI are also in their right to focus on whatever features or redesigns they see fit. I certainly don't agree with all the changes the game has made, and I wish they had focused on other things earlier. I don't see the reason for a mobile version and if I had any say it wouldn't have happened, but SI did that as a side project in the same way they now do this with women's football. How projects work have been written page up and page down in here trying to explain that if SI didn't want to include women's football, that doesn't mean that other features would get more things. This is not a zero sum equation...
Why is this even a topic? A potential issue that could arise at a future time is clearly not a reason to dislike it, this is far into strawman territory.
It certainly is good for inclusion and making the game more available and open to women, and it also opens women's football to a potential wider audience. And the PR Miles and SI gets I'm sure are welcome, but based on how SI have put forth things as far back as I can remember, they have always been for inclusion for everyone, so this is certainly true to the ethos and policy of the company. I really don't think that adding women's football to a game is a "left wing" choice, and I certainly wouldn't brush anyone of based on their political standing like that. For what it's worth, all my life I've voted on the right side of the political spectrum (I've even posted a chart in a thread in OTF of it for heavens sake!) .
The reason misogyny are brought in here is because of the level of hate towards women that have been spouted (and removed!) here. And the anger that brings out in a decent sized chuck of people. I've written here before that I don't see any reason to be negative towards it, and the gist of each and every of the complaints is "I don't like women's football so I don't want it in the game". If anyone brings forward a reasonable complaint, I'm more than happy to discuss it and try to see the reason behind it, but as of yet I've seen misogyny and strawmen, nothing else.
I really wish it was worth replying to this post in any depth, but all you've done is accuse me of being a misogynist and pushing aside anything i say due to this. Nowhere did i say i dislike womens football and nowhere did i rail on women. You accuse me of a strawman, but your whole stance on everyone being a misogynist to deflect discourse/support your own agenda is the largest strawman in the room.
Although, you being a right wing voter says it all about your ability to see other sides of the coin and partake in reasonable discourse. So i shouldn't be surprised.

Yes. The media questions and interviews. They take up time, very rarely make sense, are repetitive and are nothing but an annoyance.

Network save with my friends in the Bundesliga. We did France this year, so we'll start in Germany in FM22 and take it from there.

The only reason we've seen in this thread to actively dislike it borders on misogyny or a fear of "losing the manliness" in football.
This is a straight up insult to anyone who doesn't want the mode added for purely gameplay reasons. You say there are no reasons to be upset about this but there are plenty. Whether you agree or not isn't relevant, you can't just call everyone who disagree with the addition - or you - a misogynist. That's point blank offensive, but it seems the moderators of this forum love to throw insults around while censoring anything negative anybody else says on here.
As far as i'm concerned, it's a mode i won't play because i have zero interest in it, and i actively dislike it's addition for the following reasons:
1) A very small % of the playerbase will play it long term, certainly a % that won't make the development cost and resources worthwhile. FIFA added womens international matches and only 4.04% of players even opened the mode, never mind continued playing long term. Now FM has an older and probably more progressive playerbase than FIFA, and this will be an entire mode rather than just international games, but that % will still be very small.
2) You say it didn't impact development because a new team was hired. Well to that i say that the game has been dire for years in terms of new features and refinement, so why was a new team never added to fix clearly broken or useless things like the AI transfers system, player progression, ME improvements, graphical improvements, youth academy improvements, more realistic injury module, better network game features, improves media....there are lots of things players would love a new team added to tackle.
3) Performance issues could be a thing. Now if the mode is entirely separate then fine, it isn't an issue, but i suspect that somewhere along the line it will interact with the main game. More than happy to be proven wrong here though.
Adding the womens game is obviously brilliant for inclusion, and it gives Miles some lovely PR, but I don't think those reasons are good enough to make it worthwhile for the average player. It's funny that is a progressive and left wing addition to the game, but everyone defending it is quite happy to just rubbish everyone off as a misogynist if they disagree with them, a very right wing way to go about discussions.

Won it in the second season with Metz after PSG had a horrendous start on a network save me and my mates have going. They had a 15 game winning streak at the end of the season but they dropped so many points in the beginning that it didn't matter in the end. They now haven't won it in the last 4 seasons despite spending £300m every season on yet more world class players who end up benched after 6 months.

Will one of the Developers please tell me that the "Were happy to see (your player) scoring for his country" question has already been removed for FM 22?
Please?
This question is absolutely absurd and needs to be removed entirely, perhaps aside from extremely talented kids who the media would be all over. Getting asked about my 27 year old wingers 6th goal for Croatia is beyond tiresome.

I like how when a post is positive a sample size of one with no 'evidence' of your changes actually affecting the game aside from a single graphic and your own word/thoughts/feelings constitutes a post that is worthy of being posted, on topic and valuable to the thread. However, if someone posts a grievance they're shot down due to small sample size, not understanding the game, being emotional or whatever else.
If i post a message with a game where i lost 1-0 while having 50 shots and the opposition having 1 i'll get the usual nonsense thrown at me of "it's only one game, it happens in real life", "what's your striker stats", "maybe he's got low consistency", "it's definitely your tactics", "clear cuts don't really matter"....etc. But if the post is positive in nature you don't have to justify anything, and can just throw out platitudes and soundbites like the game is the best thing since sliced bread.
Your match could have changed because the opposition also changed tactics, making poor decisions to let your team in. Maybe they had weak mentalities and choked. Maybe their conditioning was poor and they couldn't keep the pace. Maybe it was a good touchline shout by yourself that kicked your players into gear and had nothing to do with the tactical changes. Or maybe your tactical changes really were amazing, but there's no evidence here of this.
