Have you just described Chelsea?

Exactly this IMO too. I feel the reputation of existing real players far outweighs the newgens due to comp reps and awards being how shall I say... not exactly standardized in the default database or consistent. However, after 10 years this should settle out and you end up with sensible AI newgen progression and age ranges in national teams.

Currently running various tests and doing some statistical analysis and it seems that whilst GPG in most nations are slightly higher (region of 0.05-0.2) in comparison to real life datasets over the last 3 seasons on a 3 year comparison, it seems to be almost exclusively English leagues that are affected by high amounts (0.7-1.1). I will continue, write up and post in the tracker later and post a link in here.

I'm wondering if it's the ball physics (which are mostly great) that's contributing to the sheer amount of goals (needs reducing). The ball acts like a mitre and then the moment someone takes a shot on goal with it it turns into a jabulani. Might be an avenue to explore and a possibly easier rectification route rather fiddling with conversion zones, stats and chance tech stuff.

In terms of average corners per game, for the Championship in England this is 12.7. I'd say I see anything between 8 - 15 in my matches between both teams so wouldn't say it's OTT in mine. It might just be more noticeable as they are shown as highlights more?

Just so people are aware also - WP rules in England have changed since FM23 in line with real life. So you will find it easier under ESC.

Once I've had more time to play I'll submit feedback just as one bulk post, but until that point I'd just like to say I've been really impressed with the engagement so far (I know we're not even 24 hours into the early access but still). I can't really recall a year where I've seen SI staff actively communicating, offering tips and responding to bits and pieces on the feedback page when compared to the usual being sent over to the bug tracker for each thing. It really helps us feel heard and also helps us understand whether something is potentially an issue or expected behaviour. Bravo

I also noticed this, but starting to wonder if it was maybe deliberate. The game seems so well optimized maybe the extra 30-40k isn't going to have that much of an effect?

I think I've noticed the same. Especially when a shot is at the goalkeeper. The goalkeeper parrying and getting something onto it seems to be like he's hit it with a cricket bat for six it suddenly moves that fast

The post announcing Early Access at the top of the forum states that not all licensed products may currently be in Early Access and may be pending for a later date

Ah. Spent a good 5 minutes staring at it, the circles and trying to decide if the OP was giving positive or negative feedback around positioning, movement etc. Didn't notice the other Jebbison on the far left.

Please can you explain what the feedback is from this? Genuinely stumped.

It's beautiful. Make sure to read the tutorial. I really like it

Shame stuff like this hasn't been sorted. Such a waste of space. Same for the Match UI and touchline tablets. Not a major issue, but still something that just lacks attention.

Has anything changed in regards to database sizes out of interest? When loading the same setup from 23, (29 nations, 60 leagues) I'm noticing 115k on FM23 compared to 185k on FM24 on a medium db with the same nations and leagues

That's very true. That's probably why in the Championship in real life it's shot up to 2.83

Very small sample size and is only one example, but across a 2 season simulation in the Championship on full detail. Average Goals per Game IRL 20/21: 2.31 Average Goals per Game IRL 21/22: 2.50 Average Goals per Game IRL 22/23: 2.42 Average Goals per Game IRL 23/34: 2.83 Total Avg across 4 seasons: 2.51 FM Example Season 1: 3.26 FM Example Season 2: 3.30 FM Example Season 3: 3.62 FM Example Season 4: 3.47 Total Avg across 4 seasons: 3.41 Differential: +0.90 Goals maybe slightly on the high side. Know it doesn't sound like much, but when you consider that its a GPG it's a considerable amount (as it stands an average of 0.75 GPG when comparing to IRL, if my maths is correct thats +310 goals over a season) when other a full season. Maybe some slight tweaking needed, but as mentioned small sample size and just one league.

What is "they"? Players? Teams? Over how many games? Some non league teams have a higher pass percentage than premier league teams. If every team is showing a high number of pass completion, sure there might be an issue. I haven't played any matches yet so I can't comment on my own findings. But hoping this isn't the case and chaos, dodgy touches, passes and hoofball is still there

I believe from the features articles the ball speed is lower when compared to FM23, as it was far too fast on that.

Brilliant, thankyou.

I might be being stupid, but when setting up a game (advanced menu) you used to be able to choose select club later (so when it's loaded) but that option seems to have gone? You either have to select a club on the quick set-up or go to advance and then unemployed?

Hugely impressed with the optimization. Used to take about 7-8 minutes before to load up all my nations and leagues. It's just done the same amount in under 2 minutes.

Odd! Mine remain also in documents even if the games uninstalled

Okay. Which one of us is this in the dull mens club on facebook?

I've managed to do more work in the last 40 minutes than I have for the last week
