Good point. FM directs our attention to corners. IRL we don’t watch closely to corners unless it’s end of a match in which your team needs to score a goal

That is not realistic at all. Examples are Domenico Berardi (20), Lazar Samardzic (20) and Nicolas Gonzalez (35).

Can anything be done towards realistic transfer-values?

Yeah, it's ridiculous considering Udinese agreed on a really low fee for Samadržić this summer and that Berardi is 29.

It seems that they don't really care about Serie A.

For like 10th game in a row, Inter has exact same 15m€ transfer budget and you can even get more from the ownership. Hillarious considering the actual financial situation Inter is in. Completely ruins the challenge because in FM it plays like Moratti is still in charge and you can waste money away.

I already mentioned some attributes that are hillariously bad, but it's hopeless. I'd just honestly like to talk a bit to Inter researcher to hear his explanation because some of these hillarious attributes.

Budgets will be dependent on which game mode you choose now. 

[Iakovenko]

A few odd things I've noticed.

Made loan requests for Diallo and Hannibal from United. They wanted me to play Diallo as a right winger when he's left footed and Hannibal as a BWM when he's clearly not suited to that role.

I'm ipswich and Luton have bid for a CB back from me in January. He'll get unsettled if I don't accept a bid despite them being 15 points adrift at the bottom of the league and pretty much relegated and I'm top of the championship. Just don't see how his reaction is realistic

I just had a player sold out from under me by the board accepting an offer for my best young player. The message at 22:57 gave me the opportunity to protest the transfer, however the messages at 23:05 and 23:11 confirming his exit were already in my inbox!

Is this a bug or does the board play proper hard ball this year? If so, why give me the option to protest when he is already a Monaco player? Some pretty weird stuff going on with interactions and logic.

 

[kabajingai]

AI is still making daft signings. Arteta in 2028 just signed Kepa for 70m and he's played ONE game.

Likewise, international managers are still picking based on rep. The youngest player in the England team is 26.

Well done SI, you've somehow managed to make interactions worse this year, despite their improvement being one of the headline features. 

Got my whole squad moaning that we don't have enough depth in goal (I have 3 keepers), and even when I sign two more on deadline day, one of which is almost as good as the first choice (can you see the future problems?) and they're still not happy. 

I'm not sure if this is a side issue of me carrying over an FM23 save onto this one, but I can't imagine that should be the case. 

It's ok. It's a beta. This is why they do it - to identify these issues...

This makes me really sad, as this "feature" was my main reason for being excited about FM24

[HighFlyingDwarf]

Ready to put some more verbose thoughts down now that I've had two evenings or so playing. I've gotten through a full season playing at the bottom of the Northern Irish league and I need a break from coming up runner up in the cups.

I would give FM24 a solid 8 or 9 out of 10 compared to a 6 for FM23. The advertised feature set has been delivered pretty much spot on and this feels like the game FM23 should have been and more. Some major lessons have been learnt, but there are still some flaws and things that should really have been addressed.

I would caveat this by saying that people should be on the lookout for fixes to the broken development trend for newgens when up against existing players. This has been broken for a few seasons and needs more of a long term detailed analysis by smarter people than I. If this is indeed fixed this year then that is a major plus for SI. I know that this is not an easy thing to resolve, but it's important.

Positives

FM23's match engine had an up and down life. I got the impression some changes during the middle of its lifecycle destabilised it somewhat but it got back to being solid, I don't know what the change log was for it though. FM24's main improvements come about as a result of both the positional flexibility and the general movement of the players being far more realistic and fluid. Adding this onto the changes to ball physics and the set piece changes and I think SI have got this very right this year.

The performance of the game is significantly better, even when migrating an FM23 save game that was basically on its last legs performance wise by the time I finished playing FM23. This feels like an incredible job.

I have not dabbled much with the new tactical options or set piece menus themselves, but the set piece menu especially feels far better designed than squad planner was at introduction last year. More generally the UI is better this year and the way higlighting of items in the sidebar makes the GUI feel more generally responsive.

With regards to set pieces themselves, set piece coaches are a small but useful addition with a nice touch being that the preferences of these coaches actually seems to have a direct effect on how your team approaches set pieces themselves if you don't want to manage them. This is a really nice touch for those struggling with teething over the new system and/or are just lazy or want to focus on other things.

Importing from an old version is a groundbreaking addition and works as well as I was hoping for. There are some minor downsides, but these tie into limitations more generally of the database being set in stone after start of a game and doesn't specifically relate to this feature. I will explain these later.

Dynamics no longer takes a cyanide pill when you sign a bunch of players, which was a desperately needed fix after FM23's problems with this and especially important at lower league levels. I would actually say Dynamics has become one of the cores of the game in a sense and a very good feature, so much so that it's pretty much unchanged here and still gets an uptick from me.

More licenses is a plus. The J League is a long sought after addition and gets Asia to nearly the level of Europe in terms of major football playing countries in that region alongside Australia and some of the other big names.

Negatives

SI, I cannot stress this enough. Squad planner is NOT a replacement for the Squad depth screen.  I spend more time squad building than managing games. I can assure you that these two features have two completely different functionalities no matter how much anybody tries to convince themselves that the squad planner is effective for depth management. The people this feature is intended for are not users of squad depth, it's people who use a pencil and paper to write their squads out. Many of the notes I make in my comment linked above are still relevant here. Squad depth is an important additive element to the planner which simply requires refinement to bring it in line with how the rest of the Squad Planner looks. Removing it is a bad idea, especially when the squad planner interface remains inadequate to replace the Squad depth page itself.

Anything that has been boring/moribund for the longest time is likely to still frustrate you. Press conferences for example. Players still feel obnoxiously needy with their complaints and such for nonsense issues. I have not had much interaction with targets so far, but this feels like more of a nice to have than anything that is obligatory, similar to promises. No idea on international management but this is probably unchanged. Sad.

Manager customisation is improved, but it is still pointless, and also incredibly obnoxious to make certain simple changes. I fear the day when SI start adding cosmetic manager features and start charging for them if the interactivity with this feature remains in such a bad state. Additionally, as noted by another post in this thread, forgetting that over three quarters of the UK wears glasses or contact lenses but citing these as an accessory when splitting out "ability aids" as its own section of the creator is one of the more bizarre own goals I've seen in FM's history (sincerely, someone who wears prescription glasses).

I am praying that an official version of AI generated faces becomes part of the game to replace the current system in 25. Faces feel better this year, but they simply cannot compete with alternatives that are now being generated for use in the game and would be as significant a change as the original faces were when they first started being generated in 2008. Even with unity models and improved graphics this would still be a hugely important addition. My fear is that SI's move towards being conservative in relation to copyright/licensing issues and stuff like that will ward off any use of AI. Fingers crossed though.

Training has been a bugbear of mine over recent years since the current system has been put in place and it is basically unchanged in terms of interactions with the schedule despite the changes which have rendered FM23 schedules obsolete (screams in frustration). Whilst I've come to bear using the new scheduler, it remains unwieldy and time consuming to replace weeks of training on a month by month basis and I sincerely hope that options to define default weekly schedules will someday be added in to reduce the needless micro management that is currently required.

The TransferRoom partnership is actually a bit of an insult to TransferRoom at this point in time, since as far as I can tell it basically functions as the old system did. I don't see what relevance or necessity changing the name had other than adding a partnership where it wasn't neccessary (For me, the partnership with STATS/OPTA comes to mind with this, although we did get all that data hub stuff which is nice to look at but not really essential.). Additionally, even people who know what faxes are did not realistically believe that this was how people are communicating in football management in FM23. Specificity was unneeded, the abstraction meant it could have been anything. Phoning around, emailing, even transfer room itself etc. I haven't had a significant amount of involvement with this system because I'm not playing on the top tier, but this feels like a big missed opportunity because there is more that could have been done in terms of creating an exciting feature with this to more accurately reflect the realities of real time interaction involved with Transfer Room. I note that the feature announcement for this mentions more is coming in future, and I hope it does if not now but in FM25.

Similarly, intermediaries are an interesting idea in a pinch, and I haven't fully utilised these yet, but they feel awfully similar to what player agents typically did in versions prior. They may be particularly useful down the line once I get to managing bigger clubs, so take this negative with a lower case.

Supporters confidence feels like a missed opportunity to do something inspired by what FM Live did with the supporter profiles. I am genuinely curious as to whether or not SI intend to add named supporters groups and make supporter composition actually impact expectations, but this doesn't feel like the case currently, and there's still something obnoxious about winning everything and still having people complain because they didn't like a certain style (Maybe harkens back to George Graham and boring Arsenal? No Gooners complain about the trophies won though).

Last and least, telling people to describe this as an early access and not a beta when there's a note in the bottom left saying it's a beta version makes my bones weary and screams legalese or executive meddling or some nonsense. Let people call it what they like...please.

-

In summary, this one is a good one. This is not on the same level as FM12 when that game reached maturity, but as the last of an era, I think the feature set proposed was good and has been delivered upon without insulting peoples intelligences like FM23's scarcity of ideas did (UEFA licensing aside in that regard). Unless there's something glaringly obvious I have missed which is a big issue, I think people can be safe in the knowledge that FM24 is a clear step up from both 22 and 23 and worth a buy.

tbf people have and do wear glasses without actually needing glasses for sight reasons, so an accessory. I would also make the assumption that a larger % of the population wear glasses compared to needing hearing aids, and generally speaking, people don't think of glasses as an ability aid when compared to a hearing aid.

If they simply added hearing aids to accessories would that make you more or less angry?

Well even wearing shades are usually to reduce the glare of the sun and thus aid sight.  But onto the hearing aid topic, just adding the hearing aid into the accessories section would have been perfectly fine.  If they're going to add more aids in the future like mobility aids such as walking sticks/crutches/wheel chairs then having an "aids" section makes sense.  As it currently is just add them to accessories as that can also include jewellery and other cultural garments to cater to other demographics going forward.

If you mean the tutorial there should be a question mark at the top right of the screen, next to the menu icon, through which you can rerun any tutorial.

 

That's not it, I mean the new set piece window where you tell the coach what features you want (inswinger or outswinger, how many players go forward/stay back, etc..) and it creates the routines for you.

You should have had the opportunity to reply so this sounds like something is not working as intended. If you happen to have a save game before the offer is made would you mind heading over to the bug forums and we will look into what is causing this.

That's quite the hot take, the FM12 match engine is still the most exploitable engine in the whole series. 

By the way, I much prefer the Squad Planner to the Squad Depth screen, and I've never used pencil and paper whilst playing FM in my life. The way it's improved this year has made it even more useful to me when checking squad depth. I particularly like the ratings showing how strong you are in each position.

I'm guessing you've not seen either of the Utd players play much? Amad Diallo plays off of the right in most games as an inverted winger, it's his best position. Hannibal has a lot of attributes that make him an effective ball-winner - his work rate and fitness are excellent, he's aggressive in the press, a tenacious albeit sometimes careless tackler and can drive up the pitch after winning the ball. He's a decent playmaker as well but he's added a lot to the defensive side of his game over the last year.

I don't think there's any match engine which has been completely invulnerable from match engine exploitation, but the overall package of FM12 was still considerably stronger for what it was at the time in my view.

I may never agree with anybody on the squad planner. It's been shown that most people who want something like this either continue using pen and paper or just preferred squad depth. Manually calibrating the team instead of having it automated for you as squad depth did is inherently a downgrade. Squad depth was not originally in FM23 and got re-added I believe, which speaks volumes to this.

[Lempicka]

I am I being a bit dim here?

Just setting up save and as I want to play with attribute masking on - I don't tick 'Disable Player Attribute Masking'. However, in the info box it states that if you want to see all the attributes from the off - keep it unticked.

Surely you untick to enable the masking, right??

Some high scoring games i've seen in my save are caused by the too large amount of corners per game.

The old squad depth screen never allowed you to add in shortlisted players, or directly set up a recruitment focus for a position you are short in. Plus it also includes an old school squad depth screen anyway. To me, it's one of the best additions in the game, particularly since it's been improved since the somewhat dodgy way it was implemented last year. But I guess we'll never agree on this

You're right. Having it ticked disables masking. The last sentence is the opposite of what actually happens.

Think I mis-interpreted that part of your post, I thought the issue was about him playing on the right rather than on left because he's left footed so sorry for that. It might be that the loan was requirements as a winger were to develop elements of his game opposed to an inverted winger - going on the outside rather than cutting in, more use of his right foot, crossing from the byline rather than from a deeper position etc.

Teams being so precious about where a loan player plays is well overdone still. Amad was playing as an AM for Sunderland last year, I’m sure United were not bothered. 

Similarly Alvaro Fernandez is currently playing left wing for Granada. I bet the United manager isn’t complaining. 

It’s a weird feature that doesn’t add anything realistic. Just annoyance.

Highly influential players (at high rep teams also) are also still kicking up a fuss when fringe players who aren't good enough aren't given new contracts. We're still at the point of just paying up 10k and keeping fringe players we don't want, to stop the whole squad turning against us

Not had a chance to play myself yet but seeing a thread on Reddit where they say the AI is still broken. Silly transfers and not playing youth or rotating etc. Has anyone noticed any AI improvements? This was the one feature that made me decide to buy FM again

Not sure if this has been mentioned or not.

I have started a few games in England now. Exactly the same leagues loaded (I load a lot) and a large database. Sometimes I get around 125k players loaded in the database and other times only about 86k. Anyone else finding a discrepancy in the amount of players loaded?

We are aware of an issue regarding goalkeeper recruitment and it is something that is being investigated.

In regards to the England squad I would be  interested in taking a look at your save game as work has been done to improve a number of factors around this. Each save plays out differently but the results i'm seeing in internal tests look different to what you have seen.

If you would like to drop a report and save game of your age issue into this forum I will make sure it is looked into - https://community.sigames.com/bugtracker/football-manager-2024-early-access-bugs-tracker/international-management-and-squad-planner/

I love the Squad Planner.  Mainly because I can have players in the order I consider to them to be, not the "opinion" of a staff member.  The added icons that a player is a starter in another position is very helpful when considering my permutations as well.

I appreciate I might be in the minority.

That's a great point actually. I also like how it has no bearing on the team, it's like a secret wee area the players can't see! So you can mess about with it how you like. 

Yup, I'm definitely a squad planner fanboy 

[Choi seung won]

Things to fix at launch

1. too many overall matches scored

2. too many goals from set pieces

3. the role of the inverted wingback needs to be less influential. Currently, using the inverted wingback regardless of the player gives you a significant advantage (it's like using a cheat engine).

Maybe it's because the team I'm playing with isn't particularly good (top half Danish Superliga) in terms of player quality, but I haven't found that to be the case. IWBs both on my and AI teams haven't been dominating the matches, their match ratings have been about as expected, and it's not a magic "give your team 70% possession" button either as I've been on the losing side of the possession battle as much as I have the winning side.

[Watson156]

Im not sure if this has already been mentioned, although I'm sure that it has. 

It seems the amount of shots hitting the woodwork has increased from last year, and that was pretty bad. It seems like the woodwork is getting hit at least 3 times a game.

[Domoboy23]

I'm wondering if it's the ball physics (which are mostly great) that's contributing to the sheer amount of goals (needs reducing). The ball acts like a mitre and then the moment someone takes a shot on goal with it it turns into a jabulani. Might be an avenue to explore and a possibly easier rectification route rather fiddling with conversion zones, stats and chance tech stuff.

[harrycarrie]

Short corner routines are busted. Five goals in two games. Player not picked up, so much time.

Anyone know how to spend over the transfer budget? I tried to buy a player, but couldn't get the deal done because of a lack of funds.
