FMM 2022 - really disappointing

[ZBOX]

After looking forward to this version with its new features and the better transfer market etc, I can't help but feel underwhelmed and really disappointed

I have purchased every fmm since the very first one and generally they have improved with every installment. and never felt disappointed with any except this version.

Example, I love the fact it's streamlined to be played fast but still would like it to be fairly realistic.

I start as unknown manager, no coaching badge etc, and manage Dundalk in Ireland, after 1 season, win league and League cup. 

Season 2 my rep is continental and I get offered the west ham job with 80mil budget. 

That just simply would not happen at all, if any job offers, it would be a league 2 club or equivalent, and no way should my rep be continental as manager.

The transfer market is just ridiculous, the new feature where A I clubs buying younger players has been massively overdone, - Liverpool, Chelsea , Man city buying multiple 2 star rated players for £30+ mil. (Yes I know some transfers happen in real life where clubs over pay for bang average players - but not at the rate it happens in football manager mobile)

Lots of details have been missed out, like Barcelona having a large transfer budget etc. When they have massive money troubles 

Typical match engine behaviour, all predictable, boring. Seems barley any improvements

 

Overall, just a disappointment, and think this will be the last one I buy. I apologize to the Devs if I come across rude, not my intention.

Thanks for the feedback - much appreciated and no issue at all with it.

I'll look into reputation progression when at a smaller club, there is a balance to be found in this sort of thing and we might be a tad 'over-easy' with it at present (in the last few issues quite a few people had complained they couldn't step up from smaller clubs so perhaps we've gone too far the other way).

With regards to AI club's buying young players - I'd argue that many large clubs snap up youngsters on the off-chance, although if they are paying 30m+ then that is a tad excessive (so I'll check that, but I don't think it's 'that' common at those levels).

Barcelona's transfer budget is reduced the first season - however as in real-life they can make transfers and offer competitive salaries despite their financial issues, especially if they sell a few players.

Anyway thanks for the feedback, as indicated not a problem at all - I actually appreciate people complaining as it helps me know where to tune and focus improvements

Thanks for the response mark 

Hopefully in the future an update could rectify some of this, if not then maybe for next year's version.

I didn't mean to come across over critical, just normally really enjoy the mobile version, always have, i think in part I may of expected too much from this version when I heard about the announced new features and improvements. 

Cheers
