One thing that comes to mind in regard to realism is that SI handles club finances way to lenient and not based on reality. For example is Hertha Berlin in the 1.Bundesliga currently in a deep debt hole and endangered to make it not through the licensing phase for the next season especially if they relegate - then it could be a free fall into a lower league below D3. Yet in the game Hertha Berlin is depicted as a rich club with not financial troubles... There are very few clubs in germany that are not debt ridden and i gets worse in regard to liquidity the lower the league you get. Clubs like Schalke 04 and VFB Stuttghart come to mind they are also depicted way to healthy financially, the HSV in 2.Bundesliga is a financial disaster. So finances are really not based on reality in this game but on a fantasy scenario. Can not say anything about the gameplay after the latest update, i wont play until the mods are all up and running.

In the Berlin Area there are "Tennis Borussia Berlin" albeit in D4, occasionally member of 1. and 2. Bundesliga, victim of investors that wanted to make the Club a Championsleague Club hiring Karlsruher SC Legend Coach Wnnie schäfer - going bancrupt financially and failing dramatically on the result side of things. "Hertha 03 Zehlendorf" in D5 once renowned for its youth development and having Andreas Köpfe former national team Goalkeeper played there - they also had a time when they did several world journeys playing clubs all over the globe in the season breaks long b4 it became fashionable. "Blau Weiss 90" - once a newcomer rival of Hertha BSC it was debated in the political realm of Berlin to merge them with Hertha but it never happened. Karl Heinz Riedle made its 1.Bundesliga Debut at this club b4 having a great career elsewhere. Also falling to doom by partnering with shady investors that left the club broke and dissolved so they had to start a new with a slightly different version of their old name SPVGG Blau Weiss 1890 E.V. "Tasmania Berlin" - the least successful club to have ever played 1.Bundesliga (they had to step in when another club got rejected from the league and were ill prepared and fundamentaly unsuited). "SV Empor" in D6 is according to FM affiliated with Union Berlin who currently upsets the 1.Bundesliga. "SC Charlottenburg" - had a height in the 2.Bundesliga "SD Croatia Berlin" - founded by mostly croatian originating members "TUS Makkabi" - TuS Makkabi Berlin - Wikipedia in the jewish football club in germany tradition. "Türkiyemspor" seems to have been relegated but they were a club in the turkish football tradition and also involved in financial scandals - i dont know if they are still playable. Maybe one of them fits your goals.

I let handle all press dialogues via Staff with the exception of my manager inauguration press conference and the usual i am happy to sign a new contract thing. They are quite repetitive and boring and i am not paid enough to sit there smiling while answering the tenth boring question in a row. I tend anyway to give my staff quite some tasks - my task is to hire good personel and decide who stays/plays and who goes in a formation that is successfull and strategically fitting. Training, Press, most interactions are not entertaining but i can scout for hours without end bcs that is a key element (well, i can better scout on a Light Skin than a Dark Skin as the latter exhausts my eyes in no time). And i need the attributes displayed in the classic way bcs i dont look for individual numbers put for patterns.

The clause should prevail afair - i had that once and the clause triggered. Though in the end that was in an older FM version...also the games need probably to be league games only as cup games do not necessarily count.

I looked recently into it and in germany tier 4 which is "Regionalliga" i have other expenses of ~4,5k per month and last fiscal year it was ~75k. I dont do any language c(o)urses so i can not have any expense from it (but i know from expensive mistakes these count into "other"). So it seems a small amount of "other" expenses is allways running so maybe a modder like Daveincid (as he mods club finances in his reality mods) has a deeper clue what "other" means...

Well, i understand that the detail and amount of attributes to some players seem overdoing or unrealistic but i am none of them. In the time and age of science, data and ever increasing metrics to have a player become a glass player (gläserner Spieler - dont know if the term exists in english - maybe "player under the magnifying glass of data") that is completely tested and measured about health and performance to such an extend it was deemed never possible bevor this age of time seem to me more fit into an modern data driven approach. What is impossible to cathegorize - you can mesure things like athletics, health and fatigue to a degree of fractions of a promille accurate. Mentals and technique is harder to measure but a 20 point rank system seems to fit that rather rough classiication very well and the worse your scouts are the more it is possible that they missjudge a player and he will have slightly sifferent values. I really dont see how taking this attributes away makes the game more realistic - it makes the professional clubs and even most of the semi professional clubs look like instinct driven sunday beer league events. If any one could argue the attributes could have more or less accuracy - but all things physical can be measured to a m/ol and milliseconds these days - and group them or package some together, display them is everyday work. But to be brutaly honest - a five star rating system like some primitive games have is exactly that - primitive. outdated, and unrealistic in displaying the datadriven approach of todays football that may have worked for 1923 fooball but no more for 2023 not even in tier 5 football as measuring equipment has become that cheap. To me the talk can not be about taking attributes away but how to get them and in what way to display them if any!

Afair language courses i.e. go into "other" and i had to stop them bcs my low league club goes bankrupt over them - they are tens of thousand of euros or pounds like 25k to 40k for a single player.

Dont know what you speak about - over a Season a team in a major national league and european competiton pretty much never has allways the then optimal first eleven at the start, that is simply not realistic. Ofc they play quite a lot with barely fit players that the medics barely brought back from the samller fatigue and stress injuries but that does not mean they should play or play at thier best level. FM was as long as i remember completely unrealistic in this!

Do the injuries happen while training or is it in the matches - in the matches is it bcs they were the target of a hard tackling or did they get injured while sprinting etc. When you get injured players bcs they get tackled hard i find it hard to do anything against that. When they injure themself and its muscular its often a sign of fatigue. Injuries in training seem a thing of the type of training and intensity i would guess. Also plain good/bad luck plays a role. In terms of realism missing each match a player from the best eleven is relistic - Liverpool had very little key personal injured in the recent years and it was atypical imho and maybe a reason for their struggling this season as it hit then unprepared.

Oberliga is tier 5, maybe you need Landesliga activated which is Tier 6 but it still is not guaranteed a new Team will play there as there are still Tiers beneath Tier 6 that go unsimulated.

Thing is he is NOT a DM but can play in the position where a DM also can play - a Playmaker role comes to mind looking at him.

Afaik the affiliation will end but i had it never happen that two affiliated clubs played in the same league.

Try to terminate the contract, let him go for free, spam loan/transfer offers and pray while trying to make him sign a cheaper contract... In the lower league there will be usualy no transfer fee high enough to validate sticking to a player if the player is to expensive or does not deliver. Since FM13 in germany i got two times something in the 200k range when i was Tier 4 or Tier 3, the transfer fees outside the Top Tier are simply catastrophically bad.

Do you play with your laptop via battery or is it connected to a power socket? In battery mode they are much slower but when connected to a socket you should see on such a young model quite a real good performance! Maybe you can ease up some energy saving settings to get more performance...

That is not that impossible as players in the lower leagues should face less strong defending players and have more time to act and even i got a 1-touch right at times in my real football games and scored screamers - it was random luck bit it did happen. Lower league football should first and foremost look slower than top tier football imho and ofc some leagues would be dominated by pyiscal challenges and others be of the more technical ballplay but that is a question you can not solely bind to the tier of football but to the general football culture and style and what opponents you face.

U19 if they have a schedule of matches - the II Teams in germany are implemented as affiliates and be almost useless as almost anything is out of your control and supervision, useless especially when a new team has no schedule. You can allways try to loan out players to other teams and if it goes well you may even have a financial benefit if they take over some of the wages.

Well, at Hertha Berlin the Coaches were of the kind of rather not letting a leftfoot play than to let him play on the right. The only exception is the offensive and inverted players - in the defense...never. I guess you will find both reasons viable - there is a lack of left foot players and there is a hesitation to let left foot players play right side especially in the more defensive positions.

Bcs their PC generates a different (fake) random number the game also uses to determine randomness i guess...different rng different result... Why computers can’t generate randomness. (slate.com)

I remember that i wrote the new 3d match animations make the game way more fluid, more realistic, more spectacular, more intepretable than ever. Roles seem at least in part a bigger influence on the tactical formation. I find the begining of club fan influence promising. The game seems to react even more sensible than ever, be it familiarity, language barriers, pair-building etc. These are quite some improvements/enhancements - i dont regret the buy at all!

Starting second half acts as confirm - if not you have found a bug.

Personaly i dont care for L/R Foot. For the defense heading is a more deciding factor and in the offense idk. as long the player does well. Idk if it is still in the game but at some point players playing "inverted" had a stronger long shot from certain positions.

They have no room in my tactical formation and i never use them as i use allmost allways the same tactical formation with very few very slight adjusmtents each year and there is only 1 alternative formation i play very rarely and it also has no room for inverted players. The foundation of my ballplay is passplay anyway so i dont need dribbling and running with the ball players, my team has allways the least dribblings in a league, also i prefer fast tempo play and dribbling/running with ball slows you down.

Sometimes i do, it does not really matter to me, as i usually do not take back people.

You can set the game to 30 or 45 or 60 FPS i guess in the preferences. Also it runs cooler if you lower the graphic settings.

Morale plays quite a role in FM - albeit i allways find it more easy to bolster my teams morale than to hamper the opponents morale.
