Had steam on for hours after playing FM last. Also seem to have 0 bytes stored on cloud. I only use the one computer for FM. Can't really blame SI if Valve don't do enough to inform users what's downloaded, of course. Maybe it's a Steam thing. Just nothing to explain size or what's downloaded. If it was a patch someone would surely have said something by now. Probably one of those strange occurances Steam has of random updates.

It's very realistic currently Agree, seems odd to say it but the thing I've appreciated in the new update is the much improved way moves break down in terms of variety. Blocked crosses used to drive me crazy with that and watching numerous wasteful corners but now its much more watchable due to the unpredictability.

CaptCanuck Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 23 hours ago, Sanel said: My players don't have many injuries and I don't mind the injuries either. I think it's more important than before to have a full depth squad. I aim for 20+ players, for every position at least 2 back-ups and when scouting I look for versatile players. Wingbacks that can play left and right or allround midfielders. Oh sure, squad depth is important, but this is during France's 1 week winter break and as I pointed out it's a nonsense injury based on what was actually happening. Agree injuries are an important part of the game, but when there is no rhyme or reason to them vis-a-vis training it makes for a poorer simulation IMHO. In matches for sure, hard challenges, if you use get stuck in, playing Stoke type teams, etc... for sure, but the total randomness to them in training is stupid.

Yeah after 15+ years FM I changed my mindset and just deal with it. Injuries were always a topic for discussion but it's for sure been worse. I think larger squads are realistic as well. I think most Bundesliga irl teams take this very serious, as their competition has/had a higher intensity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domoboy23 Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Just now, Mobius said: Too many injuries. I'm sure many teams in real life will say the same. Injuries need increasing. Not decreasing. Having to blood a 17 year old because your striker has broken his tibia is Football. Having to rethink and change your entire approach because your star player is out fir 7 months with no ligaments left is Football. Signing a player you've had your eye on for 4 seasons for a club record fee of 10m and then his head exploding on the first day of training and having to retire... that's Football. It's beautiful. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiingallen Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 My only issue with the ME currently is the defensive behaviour of wide midfielders. Absolutely zero urgency to track back!

eXistenZ Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 (edited) Honestly t this point the game feels most like "whoever goalkeepers ****s up the least wins". Which in partly true to real life, but its just so apparent in every game. If i win, the opposing goalie has a 6.4 or below. If i lose, my goalie does the same. you can lose and still have a good goalkeeping performance irl, but tht doesnt seem to be the case in fm Edited March 7, 2023 by eXistenZ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshinelufc Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 I think the beta version of the match engine was the best version for this season’s game. This match engine seems a joke. Whilst there is more variety, it is just not realistic at all. I just beat Man City 5-0 with Leeds. It was a fairly standard pressing 4-4-2 setup. We were the better team. Enzo Le Fee was the only player not at the club in real life. There is no way that the game should have played out like that. On a separate note, I really hate the UI and think it takes too many clicks to get where you want to go. I hope it has a major revamp next season. It is time the graphics have a major overhaul too, they seem to have gone backwards. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senak Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) The low Striker ratings is really killing the will to continue to play. I know I should ignore the rating itself (like with the dm's for the past few years, at least they weren't this low) but it's just making it harder to tell if the player is having an off day and then ruins the immersion with the media questions of why is he so bad and why I didn't take him off. I've even spent some time tinkering to try and reduce the chances of them going for headers but with a poor team it's impossible to stop them just lumping it clear Edited March 8, 2023 by Senak 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinso Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) guessing i missed the board message at the end of the season, but I can't upgrade youth facilities even tho they are "superb" and training is state of the art.

kiingallen Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I’m experiencing the injury thing in a big way also. I’ve had two players break bones ( leg and ribs), and a cruciate ligaments injury in the space of 4 weeks. Injuries happen but these are keeping my players out for a long time. I’m all for reoccurring minor injuries if not managed properly, but I’ve had some serious injuries in such short space of time. will monitor it but thought I’d chime in on my experience. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fëanáro Míriel Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I don't really have an issue with injuries. My problem is hitting the posts too much, we have hit the top post 28 times in 8 league games and hit a post 52 times in total. thats 6-7 times a game thats too high no ? If we take 10 shots a game inside the box 4 of them comes of a post, 5 of them gets blocked and we sky the other 1. It feels like the keepers are only there to collect the high balls that defenders deflected. I like everything else so far its just the shooting thats annoying me rn. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

frank_olaf Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Since the update the suspense of VAR goal decisions is gone because you now see the name of the goal assister show up in the match stats panel on the left hand side if the goal is going to be given and it doesn't show up if the goal is going to be disallowed.

Popular Post Mitza Posted March 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2023 Managing a smaller team is basically Morale Manager 23. You could have a good squad and great tactics, but it all comes down to morale. Fairly good winning streak, but God help you if you're scheduled to play 2 of the top 5 teams in a row. 2 defeats in a row basically means 5 more afterwards. The morale hit is insane, From all team around 'excellent' to below 'okay' with no regards to whom the opponent was. Was scheduled to play Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico in a row as a lower-midtable team. Season was over before it started. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kcinnay Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I'm struggling as hell to win games in this ME, but I actually like the challenge, the chaos in midfield, the fluidity. A central defender who's suddenly pressing in midfield en dribbling towards the box? Great. Could happen in real life. It's not perfect - what is? - but as far as I'm concerned, this is a very enjoyable ME. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajw10 Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) So I've played some games on this update for the first time (and the game itself for the first time in about 3 months) It's an improvement, but not a big enough one to justify the wait for it. The ME just doesn't do it for me, animation issues like players standing still waiting to be tackled and the awful high ball animation when a shot is blocked gets boring and frustrating really quick Also the match ratings have been broken for years. So frustrating to see this ignored when it's such an important part of the game Edited March 8, 2023 by ajw10 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
