_Ben_ Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 As someone currently managing in Russia - can anyone go a bit more in depth as to what the changes are for ongoing saves please? I’ve seen the European fixtures played abroad and I’m expecting that this will happen from the game date? Or would it be the next season? Has anything under the hood happened to Russian players/staff/teams etc that could change my game? (I’m all for these changes - just not sure of specifics!)

Miles is right in that there is no potential end date, but I think we can all agree that Russian clubs will be back in European competition in say, 50 years. I get that the discussion then becomes "when do you draw the line", but forever seems like overkill. If it were me, I would lift the ban after one season.

I have no issue with why SI made the call, especially seeing how SI has worked with War Child for a long while, and have a pretty clear commitment to peace. No doubt some people will dislike this for a whole myriad of reasons, both things I'd consider fair, and other of a more political view. UEFA and FIFA have excluded Russian clubs and the national team indefinitely, so based on that I don't really think SI had any other realistic options. I don't know if this affects earlier versions, but based Miles' blog it seems to have a small effect on earlier versions at least (with Russian clubs playing in neutral grounds), thought I haven't tested it so i can't say for sure. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esben Knudsen Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I honestly don't feel like starting a new save after this change. It's absolutely immersion-breaking to think that Russia would never play an international match ever again. Or that Russian clubs would never feature in Europe again. If you think about it, it doesn't even make sense as a criticism of the current Russian regime. In fact, the message this sends seems unintentionally bleak. The war is officially eternal. C'mon, SI.

Domoboy23 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Since the last ME update (so not this one) I really have noticed the top scorers in active full detail leagues have dropped dramatically from around the 30 goal mark to the 20. I've also not seen any strikers with 40+ goal seasons here and there with huge breakthrough seasons... Prior to this update you'd get an odd conference player banging in 40 goals and then getting interest from clubs in higher leagues.

Popular Post mitchellisaperson Posted March 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2022 (edited) I don't post a lot but I wanted to let anyone who might be involved with the making of the game know how disappointed I am with the new update. The approach the team took is not realistic at all. Let me get this straight: In the current world of FM, Russia wages war for all eternity and never competes again? Russian clubs are cut out of UEFA forever? Russian regens never play a second of international football? Of all the scenarios in the world SI has gone with the least realistic outcome, footballing sanctions that literally never end. Peak realism. If we got through World War 2 and still have European football I think Russia still has a future in the sport, actually. Cutting Russia out of the game not only in the new database, but in previous databases? Like the 22.0 database where Mason Greenwood still plays for United? That's not realistic. It's a political statement. I will not buy FM23 unless there is a reasonable way for Russia's NT and its clubs to be reintegrated into competitive play in the future, or we are at least given the option to disable the changes in the editor (like the agreement change that you could untick to disable Brexit.)

alian62 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 (edited) Just thought i would give my thoughts on this update ..... Its not the fault of the Russian people or the Russian Football Associations and players that a President decides to commit war crimes yet they are being punished for this persons atrocities . Kicked out of competitions either in real life or the game world i find stupid . It doesnt achieve anything at all except hurt the ones who didnt want this war. You cant tell me that President Putin is sitting on his throne going OH NO !! we are not in the World Cup and we have been banned from European Competitions and Football Manager has updated there database and we are not in it ? You think he really gives a RATS ..... Also you want real life yet you suspend Russia but keep Ukraine as a playable league yet its suspended in real life . So therefore you have taken a stance in the political world Now people might agree or disagree with my opinion but then Football Manager got involved when it actually should not of so we are now going to get arguments about it . War is political and should be left that way for those idiots to sort out . Its not the fault of the people !!!

FIFA and UEFA have indefinitely suspended Russia and Belarus from international and continental competitions, and so FM has been updated to reflect that - just as it was to implement the winter World Cup in Qatar, all the transfers that go through, the purchase of Newcastle United, and any other activity from within the footballing world. No, it isn't the average Russian person's fault that their country's national and club teams have been indefinitely excluded from international football. But the teams have been, and so the game has been updated to reflect that, nothing more, nothing less. If you don't want SI to attempt to accurately reflect which countries are excluded from international competitions or not, it's not SI you should be complaining to, it's FIFA and UEFA for implementing the bans, and the Russian government for doing the thing that caused the ban to be put in place. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMattB81 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Although I am not too bothered by the new update regarding changes to Russia, I think it should be optional if you want these changes or not. Or at the very least, allow the older database changes to keep the original configuration so Russia teams are normal. It does not seem right to force these new updates even on older databases. Just my two cents, hope the devs consider it. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know that it's a political statement, the one which will make most of the audience agree. Strange that SI don't want to acknowledge this. I even consider it reasonable as I wrote above as I have EA to compare. Either way, it's not like you can buy FM in Russia anymore and even if you could, its cost was changed for the level which is even with my Moscow realtively stable income is above the orbit - console games were sold cheaper.
