dannyfc Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 (edited) Also - I've noticed the 'Match Preparation' screen is greyed out and states 'Unavailable'. I've converted a save from FM 23 so wanted to check if it's a compatibility issue or something I'm missing to enable it. Thanks! edit; sorry ignore this, realised it becomes available when prompted just before the fixture. Edited October 19, 2023 by dannyfc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Domoboy23 Posted October 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 19, 2023 (edited) Very small sample size and is only one example, but across a 2 season simulation in the Championship on full detail. Average Goals per Game IRL 20/21: 2.31 Average Goals per Game IRL 21/22: 2.50 Average Goals per Game IRL 22/23: 2.42 Average Goals per Game IRL 23/34: 2.83 Total Avg across 4 seasons: 2.51 FM Example Season 1: 3.26 FM Example Season 2: 3.30 FM Example Season 3: 3.62 FM Example Season 4: 3.47 Total Avg across 4 seasons: 3.41 Differential: +0.90 Goals maybe slightly on the high side. Know it doesn't sound like much, but when you consider that its a GPG it's a considerable amount (as it stands an average of 0.75 GPG when comparing to IRL, if my maths is correct thats +310 goals over a season) when other a full season.

Want to undo all these transfers but don't want to go back to before the end of last season! There are a bunch of them. Just load the European nations and look at the start dates for early season starts. At quick glance, I saw Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, and several others with start dates in mid to late June.

autohoratio Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 1 hour ago, Jack Joyce said: Set pieces are now independent from your tactics. So, for example, you could have 3 tactics on the go and you now only need one set of set piece routines to cover them. This makes the throw-in takers a bit tricky.. since although you have one IWB in your current tactic, there's no guarantee your other tactics will. But maybe we could factor in the IWB role into the AI selection for who's most suitable to take a throw - please do start a bug thread for it with some examples. Hope you're enjoying the new set piece system otherwise! Thanks, I've uploaded my save/pkm/rec here. I haven't explored the full potential of the new set piece creator yet but I'm liking it so far! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dℍaisa Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 About player target for outgoing loan players: The set loan target option is very missable for such players, if you select the parting comment option it dissapears( makes sense but still) and if you by mistake sim forward it dissapears. If i missed it please correct me, but we should be given a few days time window where we can have the target chat with our outgoing player. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muja Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 (edited) I'm currently downloading the game. My only gripes about past editions of FM were mainly about the lack of central play, and the drastic decrease of difficulty after 10+ in-game years, when AI-controlled teams begin to have weaker, non-competitive rosters. But from what I've seen and what I've read in the list of new features, it seems that both problems have been addressed, and I can't wait to find out how. I haven't been this excited about a new FM in years!!! Edited October 19, 2023 by Muja changed one word 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighFlyingDwarf Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Just opened the game for the first time. First negative. Manager customisation is still unnecessarily complicated for doing simple things. It so obtuse for something which really doesn't even matter. I need a degree to figure out how to add and remove rings (hint: perhaps a single button to both add and remove the item would be a major improvement here). This is the same as last season (although it was worse across the board before and seems marginally improved for some things and not for others). On a positive note though, there is a remove all accessories button, which is probably what everybody is going to use. I would suggest that this should be the default though. I am confused by "Ability Aids" being a separate section. My guess is that it's insensitive to consider it an accessory, but I also find the wording a bit peculiar given I have close family members who probably wouldn't consider their deafness an ability. I understand this is splitting hairs at this point though. I did a google search for "ability aids" and it doesn't even seem like a particularly common term. Just very weird. Lapel badges are a nice touch. Immediately added the Kick it Out badge. All this stuff is rather irrelevant anyways. Graphics are what we expect from last game before the engine change. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
