Every logged issue was prioritised based on severity and the number of people it would have affected. Whilst it is frustrating when something you're passionate about isn't directly worked on, we still as always will continue to update and support the game over the coming months. If you do find any issues in 21.2 please do make us aware via the bugs forum. Thanks. And the serious problem of Lags and stutters on high-performance PCs? Do you have any news? I already said everything I had to talk to the support, they said they are checking, can we still expect something for the final patch? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post FrazT Posted December 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2020 With reference to the changes made to youth intake- here is a good post made by the SI staff in the Bugs forum that gives some further information which may help: "The latest update contains a fix for the lack of newgens generating in inactive leagues, as well as further tweaks to intake and retirement numbers. The changes are save game compatible and hopefully you will now see a much more consistent spread of youth intakes generating at top clubs across the world in every season. If you do find any examples of clubs incorrectly receiving no youth intake, or less players than they should, then please start a new post in the bugs forum with the relevant save game files. To clarify a couple of things: Adding a League as “view-only” doesn’t add any players to the game db and therefore doesn’t impact the number of newgens generated there as compared to if the league was left unloaded – but you should now see a much better stream of newgens from the top clubs in these nations either way The average youth intake size for a top active club is 5-8 players, and it can often be less than this for clubs with less established academies. If a team has virtual (greyed out) players in a youth side, this does not necessarily mean they aren’t generating enough youth players. For example, if a team doesn’t buy enough, or loans out too many U23 players, they will then need to promote some players from u18s as the more senior squad takes priorit" 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that shocking that old bugs return. While it's obviously rubbish for someone affected by it, these things do happen in development. As usual, way to see it get fixed is to report again with as much detail as possible. Hopefully it's something simple.

I have a high-end PC, everything runs smoothly on "Very High" graphics settings. The same graphics settings run smoothly on my moderate-end laptop. In both cases initially the graphics were stuttering, which was resolved by updating the driver and restarting the game. Zero graphics issues since then, both on fullscreen and windowed. Dangerous to assume something when you have no idea, I'm running Modern Warfare, Cyberpunk 2077, AC: Valhalla all on high graphics without any stuttering or lag whatsoever. So you're telling me I need a GTX 3090 to handle FM21 without stuttering, am I understand you correctly? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We believe the root of this is a high number of low ability free agents retiring after not being picked up by low reputation clubs.

Nahuelzn Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Just tried a match, low reputation teams (average CA between 85 and 100). Watched the first half in full detail, second half in comprehensive highlights. Worth addressing that the corner from crossing bug seems to be fixed. Saw a lot of variety. To start, players where more prone to look for better positions to cross, or even make a back pass or an inner pass! Nice. But rebounds now were more diverse. Some ended in corner, yes, but I only saw 2 or 3. The rest: Throw ins, the fullback got the rebound and cleared the ball, or the ball rebounded but remained in game. Of course, one match isn't enough to say it's fixed. But for a first match, I enjoyed what I saw. Less through balls from keepers and CBs also, but can't say if this was properly addressed as it's only one match. Let's hope!
