Martinho Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Developing wonderkids into world class players is the best part of the game for me. Game breaking if this is knackered. Seems like young players aren't developing well enough even after the hotfix (see FM Scout on YT) if they aren't good enough to get in to a good teams first XI from the get go. Is there any further insight on how mentoring groups are working / not working this year? Please don't say it's the same as FM22 - I don't want a return to previous versions where you could make 20+ model citizens by having angelo palombo mentor a couple of youngsters every season but I'd hope its better than the randomness and hit and miss of last year. Are young players able to improve for a human manager in the U23s or in reserve football? Are there any newgen wonderkids coming though who are good enough for top EPL sides from 16 or 17 (these players were non existent across FM 22).

I really hope they get this sorted for release, or sooner because this ME really feels like there is potential. This is about my only real issue with the M.E so far that I have taken an interest in. At the moment I am 14 games into my first season (Yes I know, People probably have bigger size samples) but of the 15 goals I have conceded I believe 9 of them have come from a long punt from the opposition keeper over the top of my midfield, Seeing my defenders stand there and ball bounces over them or between them, Goalkeeper stands there taking selfies whilst one of the opposition strikers walks right through to score. 3 of those goals were in one match 1-0 up and in comes a long kick now it's 1-1, 3-1 up and then it went to 3-3 all from long kicks from their keeper. Ok, Maybe one time you could get caught out from such an action, but 3 times within one half. Not too likely. I don't mind seeing one or two every so often, but for the love of my sanity and the thousands of other players around this needs toning down. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted about in my save spurs bought DVB for 20m in Jan, selling him for 6m later for a loss. Graphics thats have gotten worse from 17. FIFA manager had better graphics than FM23 10 years ago.

Conardo Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 (edited) Hello, I'm playing with Blyth Spartans in the Beta to learn the new things (...) and I noticed something weird. When I tell the youth section head to take care of signings for the U18s, he comes up with some pretty good 16-year-old talent every week that I can sign for 300/week.

English clubs can't offer contracts to future free agents at other English clubs until the last month of their contract. Foreign clubs can offer 6 months before their contract expires. So by agreeing to pay that 10m they can lock in his transfer rather than having to wait until June and hoping no foreign club agrees a deal with him before they're even allowed to make an offer. If the same happens in foreign leagues then it may be an issue. But due to England's unique free transfer rules it's potentially justifiable there at least. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Deisler26 Posted October 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2022 I’ll be honest, I’ll probably wait for the release to see if anything changes now, otherwise this could be the shortest FM on record for me. I cannot see anything that has changed in my limited time. The much vaunted ME changes are…not really visible to me? The animations are still iffy and the goalie animations still don’t fit what I see on a weekly basis at football. I don’t care about the level of graphics like some, but wrong animations do hurt the immersion. Granted I’m playing Catenaccio football in Serie C, but there are things that don’t seem half as intuitive as FM22, certainly focusing play down a certain flank or watching a tightly marked and closed down player be exactly where he should be, but my tight markers are nowhere near them. I’ve noticed a lot of outside of the boot shots going straight as well. The scouting is another issue I think. I bought this FM because I haven’t used scouts since the last time they revamped it and this seemed like a step forward. It is not, in my opinion. I am very much “I was a certain type of player and nothing else will do”, but I was intrigued by the near misses idea, but everyone that was recommended to me was way off on something (the point of it), but it was such a specific focus, that being off by that much meant I was not interested. Also, the focuses seemed to take on a life of their own. It may be that I need to sack my DoF (who has zero control over anything) as he kept putting in a 17-22 recruitment focus, even after being deleted, when all I wanted was a 17-19 focus. Squad planner isn’t as intuitive as it could be and quite frankly it was quicker to go my own way rather than use it. I can see it being a good thing if you sign players after Jan so you can see where you need to sell, but again, it’s a multi-click mess. I think this is my jumping off point for FM, as it doesn’t cater for my style of management, which is fine, we all grow out of games and SI have done a stunning job keeping me interested since ‘93!

Now people complain about youth not developing. How are they going to develop without getting opportunities because of injuries to veterans? Obviously the fast decline of old players wasn't the solution either because reputation played a factor. Unless you intentionally dog out a player, which no user will ever do, interactions have a minimal impact on morale. It is only a matter of choosing the right answer. Furthermore, out of 15 questions, about 5 of the answers may have an impact on the game. As I mentioned in another thread, press and player interactions need to have a greater risk/reward factor, and there should be no right or wrong answer. It should also be a tug of war between keeping the board, fans, and players satisfied with your response in press conferences.
