DomD Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 How is the dynamic manager timeline? Is it an improvement over what was available before? Does your adaptability change through out your career? In my FM22 save it seems to be stuck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am guessing you are a few seasons deep to be in the Euorpa League as Queeks Park and in the qualifying there are a lot of not great teams. Hell even my awful Flint Town/Banger team from Wales busted a few noses in the qualifying rounds! Looking at those results nothing jumps out at me as being too bad and we can see that Oostende did knock past 3 you. Yeah 2026 - 2027 season - i had qualified a few times for Conference league with 5th place finishes but knocked out straight away before. Won the Scottish cup which got me into Europa League Q - lost to Salzburg and dropped into the conference League group league new structure. I think my tactic or roles does not match up well to these formations as even though the results tell one story - the actual games i always feel vulnerable. St Mirren do seem to have my number.

FM1000 Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 1 hour ago, Rashidi said: Here is an SI staffer responding to my explanation and there are very obvious reasons why the devs don’t come in to address each and every concern. Hey but it’s entirely up to you. Believe what you want, my conscience is clear. I only do and share things to help the community. And yes maybe SI should have included their match engine changes as a MAJOR feature, and gone into great detail to explain it. Actually they did, but maybe they might go into it in a lot more detail later. Another thing SI like to do is to quietly put features out to see how many people actually notice them. Don’t forget I was very critical about the other features in the game, slamming the squad planner as “inconsequential”, but the match engine stands head and shoulders above anything I have played. People who are struggling are those who are trying things that will now get punished, Thats not to say the match engine is easy or there are no flaws. There are and I have reported them, except I am no mere mortal I report things differently to SI than some of you. Yeah what I meant is that if there are no people like you who explain some of the ME mechanics to us who don't have time to watch every match in more detail we would be lost in terms how to create our tactics. I actually enjoy your content for FM. I think the game lack a proper manual in terms of how mechanics work, yes there is stuff in the manual but it does not go in detail.

FM1000 Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, Jack Joyce said: Mentality changes are hard to explain comprehensively, since we made hundreds of ME changes every year and to some extent most of them will have some effects based on mentality (on either a player or team level). Generally, we went into this year with the aim of making defensive mentalities more viable - previously it always felt that attacking mentalities were more or less the only way to go if you want to succeed as a manager, and we really wanted to rebalance things better and review the effects of mentality holistically. There's been many, many changes to attacking movement, passing, risk assessment - but also to tracking back as well, attacking players are less consistently able to track back when they've committed themselves to an attack (obviously their fitness levels and work rate affect this too). This leads to more of a risk/reward approach to attacking football, whereas before it felt like teams could over-commit in attack but not always feel the cost of that when being countered. Sorry its a bit vague, but we really do make hundreds of changes to the match engine every year and its really hard to fully explain everything! Yeah I'm a developer myself and I know how hard is to explain small incremental improvements to the core of the application.

marioNOW Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, VeniVV said: Why do I have to go on a forum for this information? Well, you have to go to research multiple youtubers if you would like to know how training actually works, as the in-game descriptions are not reflecting the results (highlighted attributes trained are not really being trained based on the growth results). By the way, has this been sorted/corrected for FM23 or should we wait until it is exposed via a thorough testing on the long run? What I refer to here is that are often descriptions for functions in-game, in the old manuals and also here on forums/external sites or via youtube experiments repeated multiple times as facts are not even close to how it is working in the game itself. But I expect - based on what I saw from the past 3 editions - nobody knows actually what is working in FM anymore and what is not. It is somewhat of the romantic beauty of it in some user's eye and an advocate for the randomness of football, and a programming catastrophe in others' mind who are more analytical and critical thinking.

Popular Post 2feet Posted October 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2022 2 hours ago, Jack Joyce said: Positions is always a difficult topic, especially in the modern game where positions/roles are so fluid - it almost just becomes a game of semantics! Previously we had a problem - a CM in a 433 is fundamentally very different to a CM in a 4231, they're really not the same position. e.g. you might see Mason Mount as a CM in a 433 and not bat an eyelid, but if you saw him at the base of a 4231 you'd wonder what the manager is thinking! However, in game the AI managers were constantly using players like Mason Mount as CMs in formations where you'd typically expect a double-pivot to be deployed e.g. 4231, 523, 5221. We reviewed all the possible solutions and felt this was best for the realism of the team selection system, fundamentally players in the base of a 4231 are pivots, and these changes reflect that. It does mean that some players needed their positions adjusted by researchers to reflect these changes, and if you see any issues where this still hasn't happened, please report it to the researchers via the forums. You'll probably find that most CMs will end up also having at least some ability at either DM or AM, but this is expected. It does mean that there's a lot less formations used by the AI managers with CMs - but there's still some e.g. 442 diamond and 442 flat which remain. But overall we feel like this has benefits for not only tactical balance and team selection for AI managers, but also for AI shortlisting - since now when they look to recruit a player to play at the base of a 4231 they're not even considering a player like Mason Mount for it. It's worth noting that when you use DMs with no CMs in the team, then those DMs will position higher - and the same for CMs when there's no DMs, they'll position a bit deeper in certain phases. If someone could just collate these kind of useful responses from staff in one place, and put them all in a locked forum, updated only by staff, that would be really helpful. Call it What's Changed? or something like that maybe? Otherwise insightful responses like this just get lost in the depths of threads, and is such a waste. Someone could come on the forums in a few days time moaning about how the game hasn't changed, having completely missed this post and others like it that are scattered around everywhere. 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domoboy23 Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Sorry - just to add to my earlier points regarding the match UI. I don't wish bad upon anyone. But whoever's decision it was a few years ago to remove the ''Last 5 minutes possession'' bar from the bottom of the screen to keep you informed of the flow and dynamic of the game in-between highlights... I hope you stub your toe . It was such an incredibly simple and useful tool and I find it so difficult to immerse and judge games without it.
