[U23 and U18 staff]

Thanks for the response.

I guess my question is why are there U23 performance analysts and U23 sports scientists? The sports scientists I have at the club can be used across all squads (first team, U23 and U18) so not sure why they are broken up by each squad? Same with my one lone U23 performance analyst - what is he doing exactly, and what happens if he gets poached and I can't replace him - what impact will that have on me and my team?

[U23 and U18 staff]

I have some U23 and U18 staff. Some of these I understand the purpose and benefits of. For example, U23/U18 physios would help players recover; coaches would help with training etc.

Question 1 - What is the benefit of having / what is the consequence of not having any of the following roles for the U23 and U18 teams:

1. Performance analyst

2. Sports scientist

 

Question 2 - aside from coaches and physios, I've found it incredibly difficult to hire any other staff for my U23 / U18 teams. Is this a bug or is there a way I can find staff that would be interested for those specific roles? When I filter for realistic transfers and choose from the staff available, most will say they are interested in a senior team role but not for the U23 / U18 teams making it difficult to improve the staff I have for these teams.

 

[Quickfire Questions and Answers Thread (Tactic and Training Questions Only)]

I currently have a number of spare U18 coach slots that I haven't used. I have loads of U23 coaches employed and I assign these guys to U18s training which provides me with adequate coverage for the U18 training. Is there any downside from not hiring specific U18 coaches when the training sessions are being handled by my U23 coaches? All of them have workload of medium or light.

Thanks for the update!

[Transfer offers don't match...]

All good - thank you for the confirmation. Hopefully it resolves at the next update!

[Opponent goal does not disappear from screen]

@Harrison Modeste - do you know if this is still on the list for the next patch? It doesn't seem to be fixed yet in my game post the recent patch.

[Transfer offers don't match...]

@Harrison Modeste Was this fixed in the latest patch or is this still being fixed?

[Board unwilling to upgrade training facilities]

I have noticed this as well. The option appears but I've never successfully convinced the board to improve the facilities. I'm playing as Man Utd and money is literally no issue!

[Low Player Ratings After Update]

My CBs are still getting low ratings. It must be linked to key tackles, key headers etc as that is pretty much all they do all game.

My players continue to receive low ratings, mainly CBs

Has SI acknowledged the issue? I saw a few posts where they were simply asking for more examples. It surprised me as it is bleedingly obvious. 

[Football Manager 2021 Touch *Official* Feedback Thread]

The player ratings for defensive players are getting hammered, particularly full backs as reported in the full fat version. Key tackles aren't registering in game analysis either which may be contributing to this. Is this acknowledged as an issue in touch as well by SI?

[Kit selection seems odd when team colours match]

@Harrison Modeste Just checking you got the PKMs - the tag to this post still says PKMs required?

[Low Player Ratings After Update]

Has this been acknowledged as an issue by SI and is it being worked on? It’s a game breaking bug and includes the fact that every game there are no key tackles by any player which is clearly contributing to the issue.

Does anyone know what the IDs are for player attributes "crossing" and "long shots"? @michaeltmurrayuk 

 

Update - I figured it out with trial and error. All good

[Kit selection seems odd when team colours match]

@Harrison Modeste

I have just uploaded both PKMs. They are titled Coolcup PKM 1 and Coolcup PKM 2.

[Kit selection seems odd when team colours match]

Here is another example. The guy in between Sergej and Diogo J. is actually the referee. He looks exactly like the team in black shorts. 

[Kit selection seems odd when team colours match]

Hi there

I've seen this issue several times now where the team's kits look so alike, it is impossible to tell players apart on the match engine. Why aren't one of the squads choosing their third kit when the clash is as apparent as the screen shot below? It makes it impossible to follow a match using the 3D view.

 

 

[Overall Physical Condition Heart icon not centred and RHS column of squad selection table]

@Dan MarshallYes it occurs usually when I navigate from the squad view or tactics view to another screen and then come back to the squad view or tactics view. 

[Overall Physical Condition Heart icon not centred and RHS column of squad selection table]

This is a minor annoyance but means a column that could be very narrow ends up taking up too much space on the screen. In the screenshot below you can see the CON column is left aligned for some reason (like there is hidden information next to the heart). It would be great if it was aligned like the SHP icon next to it so it didn't take up as much space.

Also, the very right hand column of the page always disappears for some reason. This has been a constant issue on every FM to date.

[Transfer offers don't match...]

I've seen this post patch as well. It's incredibly frustrating. I thought I'd signed a player for 20m pounds, only to find out after the player had accepted the contract that somehow through negotiations the selling club had included a 1.3m pound per game clause for the first 10 games which increased the price significantly. This clause is not even available through the usual transfer options so (1) not sure why it is available to the AI and (2) not sure why it isn't shown in the negotiations screen.

[Opponent goal does not disappear from screen]

This issue still exists for me post the recent patch.

The update seems to have fixed it for now. Thank you

[Player instructions not highlighted]

Hi @Harrison Modeste

Here are some screenshots.

Screenshot 1 (below) is the tactics screen, showing Bruno Fernandes and all of his PIs (both standard for his role and additional PIs).

Screenshot 2 is after I press the "edit" button on Bruno's PIs. It shows his PIs in more detail but none of them are in "green" showing they are active. Instead they are all "grey". So "shoot less often" and "roam from position" should have a green highlight on them but they are grey as though they are not active.

Screenshot 3 is after I press the "stay wider" PI on Bruno's PIs. It then shows all his active PIs in "green" (as they should have been in screenshot 2). 

Screenshot 2 should, in my view, show all the active PIs in green rather than needing me to click on one of them to get them to show.

 

Does this make sense? Many thanks for looking into this.

 

 

[Player instructions not highlighted]

In the tactics screen for your squad (during a game and in general view) you can open the dialogue box that shows Player Instructions. When this box first opens all the PIs are shown as not active (even though some are active). When a PI is then clicked, the box "comes to life" and shows all the PIs that are currently active in green / red etc.
