I have 3 tactic, sometimes i have worse knowledge about tactic and have good news, but sometimes i have better knowledge and have opinion like on picture WHY?

For a few issues of the game now, when a GK is set as the penalty taker, although he takes penalties taken during the match, he never takes the 1st penalty in the penalty shootout even if he is the only player picked as a taker. The players who take the shootout penalties should be in line with the normal penalty taker preferences and at least as far as GK's are concerned, this isn't happening. I haven't uploaded a save because this happens in every save.

My face manager change after update. From white become brown/black Is it a bug?

Every time I try to go to the store, I keep getting 'A general error has occurred with the store . error 10000'. I already logged into my steam account and logged in to my google account as well. I tried deleting the app and installing the game but the error just keeps on occurring. I am on the Galaxy Tab s5e, my google account is jhc0706@gmail.com, steam account: jhc0706

Issue: All of a sudden my match engine display rate started getting choppy. Speed of the replay is fine, but it just looks like it's dropping frames and makes it tough to watch the match enjoyably. At the same time that this started, during a throw in, the ball-kicking sound repeated about 20-30 times, while the player was standing to throw the ball in. In the subsequent match, the chopping came and went throughout the match, and at one point I got the repeated ball-kicking sound again, this time before a free kick. Related Issue: I experienced some choppiness in the match engine a week or so ago, then modified some video display settings that made it go away. I'm running the game on a new Windows 10 PC with plenty of horsepower. Not sure what might be helpful for you in exploring this issue, but I have the save file and could capture video/sound with OBS.

Despite promises that this issue would be worked on, the ME lag is now WORSE than it was before ! Previously the GPU load would vary between 75-95%, which although not good, it made the 3D matches just about playable. Now the GPU load is a constant 99% and the stuttering is dreadful ! This is getting beyond farcical now, especially for those of us with high end PC's that are easily capable of running the fairly undemanding graphics engine in FM at maximum settings. It's also got nothing whatsoever to do with skins, as has been suggested. I've tried every skin out there, including the base skins and the result is the same.

Hi. Once again, another year, another FM, same match engine lag problem. I am lagging within the match engine, the 3D match stars is on 5 stars. I have been raising these lag issues since FM 2017, since 18 and 19 we have found fixes to overcome the lag problems, but even now in FM 20 those fixes we tried in 18 and 19, are not working in FM 20.

Hi, the Huawei MediaPad M5 8, listed as a compatible tablet, does not appear to be compatible with FM2020 Touch. The game is not searchable on Google Play. And when using the direct link, the store states 'Your device isn't compatible with this version'.

For some reason when playing with Crusaders in the Northern Irish League when playing away against a team whose kit clashes with mine, my team dosn't wear their away strip which can be very annoying.

Hi. Played a couple of games on FM tonight and still getting leggy matches in 2d. Playing a good spec laptop (5 star graphics) and all drivers updated, etc. Got the game set up on high graphics (that was recommended) Is there something obvious I'm missing that I could change? What makes it more frustrating is I downloaded the demo on to my work laptop and it was as smooth as you like, despite being an older and slower pc in every respect!! Any help would be massively massively appreciated. The tech details I know for my laptop are that it is a Dell Inspiron 5577 with Nvidia Geforce GTX graphics card.

When I restart the game, some newgens will have a regular face and sometimes they will have a blue face. Here is my President as an example. Known bug? Thanks,

hello, the ME is a big Problem this year. (Like 2019) It is lagging, and has FPS Drops. The Same like last year. After this Update, Nothing changed, now my Notebook is rated 1 Star (Before it was 5) I Have : i7 / 8Gb / 512 Gb SSD / MX130 2Gb i tried everything but Always the same, litte stutter in ME. I love this game, but now i dont want to make me headache About this. Always the same since 1 year.

Hi, the colour of the crowd is now always mainly brown and orange, is this bug already known?

(Not sure if this is the correct section or not, sorry) Every time there is a goal line review, the review angle is from somewhere outside the box where you cannot see if the ball has crossed the line or not. This consistently happens for me, and while watching a few streamers on twitch i see it is also happening for them. I know for me, i have camera set to director for both in game and replays. I haven't got a screen grab of it yet, (as i remembered to post it while posting another bug), but i will try and grab one when i next see it, if you need it.

So I am trying the Network Game feature for the first time with a friend in 2020 and it has the biggest bug I have seen.. My friend is hosting the game and if I spectate his game I see different goals being scored to what he is seeing.. at times I am seeing goals that have not happened/happening in his match.. and then at the end of the match the result on the results page is completely different.. Also, this doesn't stop at spectating other peoples games.. I am manager of PSG and I can do everything as expected.. but.. the match I am watching/controlling is completely different to what the result screen shows.. I am managing a match and watching my team win 3-0 and I am see the goals of Mbappe and Di Maria in Key highlights.. but when I come out of the match to the results page I have drew 0-0.. or won by a completely different score line.. The game is unplayable because it's like I am managing a completely different match... I have just won 3-0 in the opening game of the french season.. come out the match and I've actually won 6-0.. I got a steam achievement for Mbappe getting 5 goals.. so all the stats in the team are based on the score that I am not seeing when actually managing the match.. Is there a fix for this because this is a BIG bug!

As you can see from the information on the load screen I have save games for game date 17 February, 19 February and 21 February. On loading any of the save games in question you get a game date of the 16th of February. See screenshots. The last save game I actually saved was on the game date 23 February. I lost a few days yesterday as well but did not make screenshots. Once can happen, though it's infuriating. Twice is unacceptable and make the game literally unplayable. I lost several matches. And right now I do not trust my progress to save right. Please fix this asap!

I noticed on my game (and a few other FM'ers on Twitter noticed too) that the club nicknames on the General page for all clubs is missing. This affects all clubs on all of my saves, so it's not something local. I haven't done anything with the editor relating to club names or nicknames.

On Google Stadia the screen is not calibrated correctly. I cant see the top line of text or the far left or right. There is only an option to view the game in full screen so I cant alter it. It makes the game pretty unplayable. Rob

I’m going to report this again. Fourth year in a row. I don’t use Game Center. I have disabled it. But every time I switch app to FM, it complains that it can’t connect to Game Center. Every. Time. PLEASE. Fix this.

Hello everybody. When i am going to play my first match of the season the game goes to a sort of “pause state”,i have sound but the game is simply doing nothing. if i let my assitant to play the match automatically this problem doesn’t show up. It comes only when i want to play the game myself. can you help me? i put a screen of the game when it’s in this sort of pause

i saw this mutiple times but these two are the best old newgen player i´ve seen... pretty sure this is a bug

Last year i proved that this squad dynamic personality change mechanic simply doesn't work in fm and yet this year nothing has changed which is pathetic ... LET ME MAKE THIS COMPLETELY CLEAR THAT MENTORING SHOULD BE EXCLUDED FROM THIS TOPIC TO MAKE THE EXPERIMENT AND DATA MORE REALISTIC AND SEE HOW THE GAME WORKS WITHOUT ME BUFFING THE STATS OF THE REGENS ... First the bug that is the contracts one where you give a regen(only regens affected by this) a new contract and they lose personality attributes as a result(same for transfers of younger regens at least as far as i saw in fm 19 and the same trend happening here in fm 20 so i doubt that changed) ... example to review was my test with jeff bollinger(save 3 was before the contract extension and save 4 after). A BIT OF TOPIC YET STILL: before you say this is realistic i saw this happening with a 23 year old regen in fm 19 who i transfered from aek to juventus when i moved clubs(keep in mind he was a world beater already at the time and could not be tutored another time cause nobody can affect a highly influential player with current ability greater then 99% of the players in game so thats why this should be considered a big bug ... as i bought him for the main reason of being a future tutor and then he lost like 10 points alltogeher in ambition determination and professionalism which made him average at best when it came to mentoring AS FOR THE SQUAD DYNAMICS ATTRIBUTE CHANGE MECHANIC : first of all i am using genie scout(those who don't like genie scout read the whole thing before leaving stupid comments thank you) to track player personalities as due to the slow improvement of players in the last 2 years in fm i feel that personality is the most important thing when is comes to developing the next ronaldo and messi(making a regen great from a very early age to dominate the world golden ball for years to come and break real life records ) ... and yet this mechanic makes it practicly impossible ... my reasoning for this is : this mechanic makes every single regen go down in personality if its "godlike" or close to that ... simply due to the fact that every young player(regens more than real players) will try to be more like his senior teammates when it comes to personality and even if you have players with good personalities the regen with a "godlike" personality will simply say f... being special im going to be ok with being just good the same as all of my senior teammates ... now let me explain what to me a godlike personality means before i continue: 3 personality attributes are important when it comes to making a player grow and maybe even perform better on the field as a result these attributes are: professionalism, ambition and determination ... having 18 or maybe even more makes you ronaldo level when it comes to growing in fm ... fabio quariarella and buffon aswell (just so someone doesn't write ronaldo is an extreme) which makes them not just extremly fast "growers" if they were regens but also the best tutors in the game ... just for reference all 3 have 20 in all stats not just 18 but i will lower the bar when it comes to regens and making a point ... my example for proving my point will be jeff bollinger who has a professional personality and his stats when it comes to the 3 main ones are: 19 determination 18 professionalism and 16 ambition ... this with the adition with him having 185 potencial ability makes him one of the best defenders of the save ... now to the problem that will be proven with 5 different saves and the test bunny being: JEFF BOLLINGER 1.save: is the start of my save in which Jeff doesn't exist but is needed to prove a later point and the main reason why this mechanic should be greatly improved or removed from the game immediately ... 2. save: the time i found this player(JEFF) with the genie scout in sc freiburg (PERSONALITY AT THIS TIME BEING: PROFESSIONAL, MAIN STATS IN PERSONALITY: 19 determination 18 professionalism and 16 ambition ... 3. save: where he was in chelsea for a year in the first team around players with probably the best players personality and current ability wise that money can buy (PERSONALITY AT THIS TIME BEING: DRIVEN, MAIN STATS IN PERSONALITY: 18 determination 16 professionalism and 14 ambition 4. save:(in which i found the contract bug that happens when a player gets transfered or if offered a new contract) which i reported in fm 19 and still hasn't been fix(happens to regens only) ... i offered Jeff a new contract to test this and his personality got destroyed even more as a result ... (PERSONALITY AT THIS TIME BEING : DETERMINED, MAIN STATS IN PERSONALITY: 18 determination 13 professionalism and 11 ambition 5. save: is a save that i took from a youtuber: @workthespace in which he simulated 25 years into the future and is the biggest part of my argument which i will explain right now: in this save in 25 years there are only 3 players with 18 in all these main atributtes(PROFESSIONALISM AMBITION AND DETERMINATION) that exist in the whole save which you can check for your self SI dudes ... compared to the at the start of the game when you load your own save (1 save on this post) in which there are 18 players with these personality stats at the start ... LETS LOOK AT THE RESULT OF THE EXPERIMENT AND WAYS OF FIXING THIS "MASSIVE BUG" When you start a save there are 18 players with "godlike" personality attributes (meaning 18 in all ambition determination and professionalism) and like 10-13 of them can be used as mentors for the biggest clubs compared to that in the work to space save(5. save) where there are only 3 players that exist in the whole game with these kind of personality attributes and only 1 of them can mentor in the biggest clubs ... therefore it simply proves that this mechanic does not work in the long run(i did the same thing last year and i got similar results 2 times in a row so im more than sure this is a fact not a theory) another fact is that the game does not do well in terms of naturally producing "godlike" personality regens and mentors for the future and should be by all means considered broken ... as proven with the workthespace save where he didn't use mentoring to influence the game. look i would not care about the personalities at all in fm and would only care about finding the best player for my tactic and the position. but with this mechanic in place you have no choice but to sell all players that lack great personalites even doe they are top tier if you want your young regens to not lose to much of their personality which is just stupid and too limiting for a person that actually pays attention to these kinds of changes ... FIX: remove the personality attribute change of the squad dynamics personality mechanic and let the regens have their static unique personalities which a manager(me or anyone else playing this game) can change with the nerfed mentoring if needed... this will in turn give the game the ability to naturally spawn great and bad options for future tutors and let the regens vary in personality alot more making the game feel more natural as a result ... i belive that the personality should be static like the potencial ability and should only be able to be changed with mentoring ... and yes i agree that players personality changes through time happen alot in real life but you can't make a working model of that in the game so therefore go for the more natural option that simply works and lets there be extremes in personality on the top and bottom half of the scale ... at least until you find a way to fix the downward personality spiral that you have made when it comes to "godlike" personalities of regens and future tutors ... which i have proven with the workthespace save and my staring save ... you can't tell me that going from 13 godlike tutors in the world to 1 is not concering because then i would have to question SI development teams logic ... i would like to say that this mechanic is not a terrible idea but you have made it into a one shoe fits all kind of thing where every regen(if he is spawned with an extremly high personality) simply decides to get worse personality wise with almost or no exceptions which makes the game unnatural as a result ... think about this for a second: there isn't a single regen that says im going to be better then everyone else he simply moves closer or becomes the same as his team mates personality wise and thats just stupid in so many ways ... and i also agree that i am looking at the upper spectrum of the personality scale the game but in fm19 phil jones was(not this year but still pretty close) 18 in all of these personality attributes and you're telling me that in 25 years one 3 of his standard will exist in fm20(without mentoring by myself therefore naturally) ... laughable to say the least ... if you call that realistic i will have to question your logic and intelligence ... remove this mechanic as soon as humanly possible or at least until you find a way to make it more realistic and natural ... cause this is gamebreaking and the only reason nobody is crying about it is the fact that most either aren't using genie scout to check this or simply don't care about personalities which is understandable but it doesn't make this mechanic any less broken which i hope i have proven with this post and the saves to back my claim ... here are the previously mentioned saves that i have uploaded to SI CLOUD in proper order: 1. Edo Poharc - Chelsea.fm 2. TRA.fm 3. contract bug.fm 4. contract bug after.fm 5. Work The Space - SIM 2044.06.03.fm

I was hoping the FM20 match engine would be different to the FM19 version, but half way through the season and I have had many matches (at least half a dozen) where I get asked in the post match interview about "hitting the woodwork an inordinate amount of times", usually three or more. I am sick of this , mainly because it is so unrealistic for it to happen so often. Is anyone else fed up with enough to wish it changed?

Hi, It happens every time so far. When a goal is disallowed for offside, when the replay is showed, the graphics are all blury to the point you almost can't see the players or the goals... just a big green screen. Playing the game in a xiaomi mipad 4 plus, with the director cam choosen for the replays.
