    Football Manager 2024 Official Feedback Thread

    This is a game breaking issue for me at the moment and makes it difficult to enjoy a long term challenge. I'm just running short tactically focused saves for myself this year instead. The AI is completely incapable of squad building and developing young talent as it stands.

    • That's especially disappointing this year as AI w/enhanced squad building was a promised feature on this FM from SI. This is SI's quote on how youth development would be handled differently this year: 
      • "Previously, AI teams were less likely to pick youth prospects in the first team because they had low Current Ability scores. Now, those talents have a higher probability of being on the bench and will see more playing time when teams are ahead or controlling games in the latter stages. We have also worked on how the AI prioritise matches throughout the season, which should see improved rotation to help aid player development."

    A prime example of these changes being largely ineffectual is how poor Brighton perform in FM terms. In my save they chose to start Steele every week and use Verbruggen as a bench warming backup. After a few seasons he was transfer listed despite having the potential to be one of the best goalkeepers available in world football. Even though Verbruggen's starting CA is a bit lower he has important attributes on a goalkeeper that make him better than Steele from the get go (including a Perfectionist personality and a significantly higher Aerial Reach). 

    • I mention personality as it can be difficult to develop a player without the holy trinity of Professionalism, Determination, Ambition; and Perfectionist comes with a healthy dose of all three. You don't even need to be good at developing players to get a Perfectionist to his potential (especially with this year's advanced growth curve). 

    I'm a big fan of the ME engine changes this year but the game feels like it's in a very poor state at the moment for experienced players. The addition of the Saudi transfers, while realistic, is not a good addition in gameplay itself. It makes generating funds laughably easy. It's also difficult to "opt out of" in your own save as the high wage offer unsettles the players.

    I detailed some of my issues with the AI transfers/squad building over here. I ended up abandoning the save after we did a FA Cup & Europa league double in the 4th season, it felt like the AI was completely incapable of keeping up even by that point and that despite myself playing with fairly severe self imposed restrictions.

    I still play FM21 and I don't think it's bad as what I see from FM24

    It might not be what you are looking for, but I like using Salah type players in formations with three strikers as one or both of the two "wide" strikers in a support role. I really like their movement with roles like CF, as they can drop deep, run into space, roam wider, and move into channels as it suits them. Their ratings are usually much higher on average than when I use them out wide.

    I always avoid that. Playing with 3 central strikers its not realistic and it takes advantage from ME, I guess. 

    I'm not saying its cheating but kinda.

    Just an opinion but I don't tend to worry too much about pace and acceleration attributes if I want to play a high line (obviously if they are say 5 or below then that would be an issue), I'm looking at the defenders anticipation first of all. Look at Pepe at Porto, the guy in his 40's but never seems to get sprinted past, it's because of his excellent positioning and reading of the game. My defenders on my save with Walsall aren't the quickest but manage fine with a high line as their mental stats are pretty good for L2 level.

     I like to play with normal defensive line and a mid/low block. In that case I don't care too much about pace and acceleration, except for the ones I want to attack the space. Positioning, antecipation and concentration are really important for for defenders tho.

    However if I played  with a higher line, I'd definitely want my defenders to have pace and accelaration.

    Very interesting. It’s possible for a player in the midfield strata to get those numbers in real life, just ask jude bellingham. 
    Surprised to see your wm score so many goals despite having a bbm next to him. What sort of goals does your wm commonly score? I figure more of the far post tap in kind instead of the running in behind the defence between the channels type.

    There's a variety in the type of goals he scores, but mostly with a pass/cross from the IW(s) and passing combinations with the BBM and DLF(a). He has very good jumping reach and heading too, which help him to score more.
