Thank you for answering this. Pasonen is correct. As I mentioned in the other thread you posted this @TheAwesomeGemyour image is from the quick match engine not the full match engine. Although what you have raised is a known issue with the QME itself.

 Full Match Simulation is very much accurate thanks!

What this means ?

 

In other games I have played - its what resolution your graphics card will render the scenes at as a percentage of your screen resolution (before then scaling it down to the display resolution). This should give a higher quality image.

Bug. Scarf not showing

[eusebio1]

After having changed the in-game language from German (my computer's language) to English, all country names & league names are still in German. (Rest of the interface changed to English)

Anyone else experiencing this?

FIXED: the "data language" has been introduced - so now there are two language settings. Good to know!

Lisandro Martinez has a jumping reach of 13.... 

In FM, jumping reach = maximum height player can jump to rather their actual jumping ability. 

Martinez is only 1.75m so even with a good jump he won't be able to reach the same height as players 1.90m+. Based on this 13 feels fair, it's the upper end for someone of his height. 

This isn't the only determinant of aerial ability however; bravery, anticipation, determination, and strength all influence how likely they are to win a header.

Where to put bugs from ME in beta??

[Domoboy23]

Does anyone know how I send a scout to a country or league? Not the recruitment focus, that's all i can seem to do currently

I haven't had much time to play the beta yet, and will certainly do so in the coming days. There's only one feedback I have to give right away, because it's extremely disappointing: The club expectations are still extremely unrealistic - and that just completely takes away the motivation, because you want to play the "reality" and not become an international succesful club with a mediocre club in the first season. I can show what I mean with a very simple example:

Placement of Hertha Berlin in the Bundesliga - in reality:

2019/20: 10/18
2020/21: 14/18
2021/22: 16/18
This season only still Bundesliga, because they have won the relegation.
Current status 2022/23 after 10 matchdays: 15/18

Expectation of the club in FM 23: Qualify for the Europa League.

That just doesn't add up at all. I'm a big fan of this club and naturally want the greatest possible success. But where's the fun in the game if the expectations don't match reality at all? The only realistic goal for the season would be to stay in the league at all costs.

I really hope the expectations can be fixed for the final release, because realistically ranking your favorite club is more important than any feature.

[Kcinnay]

Really glad that in the tactics interface, the two attacking midfielders are now spread out, so you don't need to have a line of three to make them operate in the half spaces. (I hope.)

That's the only way you can do that, in the recruitment focus.

That's something you can report and get fixed if it doesn't feel right

Just did. Took control of all responsibilities on who to hire/fire/courses etc. I still cannot see who the 'Staff' are. I'm just about to save and reload to see if that works

Go into staff, overview, and down to "All". It will then show all your staff including youth staff

I've no idea how to move players into my youth side.

I have an U18 side full of greyed out players, and a first team filled with 16yo players, and I can't move them.

Usually just right click on their name and then select U18 squad?

Why does Tom Huddlestone have better passing than KDB?

 

Absolutely scandalous.

True story, but when I worked at Spurs years back, that guy was passing 30 to 40 yard passes to other players on a plate. That was a team that had Bale and Erikesen. He’s the best passer of the ball I ever witnessed. If he was just slimmer and more agile, he would’ve played longer in the Prem

Man City in with a 17.5m big for Sergej 🙄 I have to convince him to stay. His value is 55/60m 

[DMaster2]

First thing trying to check the Sampdoria players and each time i go back i get welcome by a wanted popup of one of my player and it doesn't go away. Very very annoying

[LewisRWalsh]

Has anyone else had problems with lower league players (particularly in England) asking for way higher wages than you'd normally expect (Jerome Binnom-Williams who has a very low CA by National League North/South standards for example is asking National League clubs for £1.5k a week)? Understand it's something that's currently under review but just curious to know if it's something other people have noticed as well.

Happy about FM23.
But! Custom views! Really?! They're still as wonky as ever. How many years now?
It's the one thing that frustrates me the most as i end up spending a lot of time trying to get it in an alright fashion.
Click the wrong thing once and it's hell all over again.
Fix it!

The World Cup has actually the real groups and fixtures. Neat.

Are you kidding? Hertha Berlin changes managers every six months or so because none of them deliver on the board's expectation of a top half team. If you can't deliver that, expect to be fired, just like the managers in real life. Expecting Europa League is realistic given the ambitions of the fairly new owner. This doesn't mean the board is being reasonable, just that the game is being realistic.

How come the game auto select a row despite me literally not clicking the mouse?

Thank god you removed 4-2-3-1 Wide tactic from the AI and replaced with 4-2-3-1 with 2 DM's which is the realistic version used IRL

That is actually avery interesting addition. What about the AI keeping the ball easily with the 4231? Noticed unusually high possession numbers for the AI with 4231?

Yeah a known issue on our end which is being investigated. 

[jcp1417]

The Supporter Profile is awesome, BUT it should be public information. If I'm a manager searching for a job, I should have this information available so that I can determine if I want to apply

If anyone is interested here is a 17 and a half minute video of the match engine I took.

I’m impressed with the ME from my first usage. Few more mistakes from players under pressure, bit more variety in build up play.

Player models and animations look better than 22. Not gonna say anything about the environments.

So far so good.

[jlammi]

there is real adboards on championsleague matches, i like.

[Hibs1875]

Don’t know about anyone else but the game seems a bit too easy so far. Playing a basic wing play gegenpress tactic with Hibs and lost 1 goal. 

[WilsonJuve]

Disappointed you still can't pay for your own Coaching badges you have to ask the board and if they don't wanna lose you they usually reject. I just tested it with stoke I'm on £16k a week. A lot of managers do their courses before they join a club or whilst unemployed etc.

This is something we've clarified before - your money isn't for spending in game as your 'balance' can never take into account real life finances (e.g., your mortgage, children, pets, car taxes, investments etc). Only if we added a 'sims' like function in game of spending could we do this, and there currently aren't plans to go in that direction. Would be the same if it was a percentage of the manager's wages too. 

[gggfunk]

The game runs smoothly as it was a full release, and I remember last year's beta was a bit laggy, so that's nice.

I've played only for 15 minutes so far and it feels just like FM 22 to be honest 😃 still love it though!

Not sure if this is intended or not, but scouted a bunch of players on the transfer list and every single scout report comes back showing transfer value as "not for sale"

Yes, it was simplified to High Press / Mid Block / Low Block
