Popular Post santy001 Posted February 29 Popular Post Share Posted February 29 Yet someone posts they do find some positives, with the clear implication being its in their point of view with a general statement of surely they can't be the only one and you get multiple posts rounding on them for it quoting the post and then reiterating previously made points. Presumably trying to convince others to change their opinion on their experience of the game, because if its just to repeat the same thing from a few posts previously then that's kind of pointless too. If you genuinely aren't finding enjoyment in any game the best thing to always do is to step away from that game for a while. Even if only to preserve your long term enjoyment. If you don't like the latest update and changes made then of course everyone realises just how disappointing that will be, and the feedback is welcome. Just keep in mind you can take a break from the game, because the way some posts are worded it gives the impression some are forcing themselves to play through something they're not enjoying. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevinho7 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 6 minutes ago, RDF Tactics said: The point being, that nobody should be trying to convince others to change their opinion on their experience of the game. Understand that everyone plays differently. What bothers one person, the other people may not even notice. Something so big to one, is so small to the other. I think it's one reason why many play FM. They're not forced to play a certain way. Some people would still love the game to death if 3D got removed tomorrow. Me being one, but some won't be able to play without it. It's why you get some people so passionate about recruitment focus - made it hard for them to enjoy scouting. Some didn't even comment on the recruitment focus because they don't even touch it. I don’t even play 3d 😂 Always have and still play with the 2d classic! Just GOAT 🙏🏻 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themadsheep2001 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 15 minutes ago, RDF Tactics said: I've said before and it goes for both ways - I don't think it's fair to speak on others experience of the game. The ME being "fine" is a problem for some. Fine should be the bare minimum. I play FM because of what it is. But, to say I enjoy watching most matches would be a stretch. Understood it's not the same for you, but seeing the amount of set play goals scored and conceded for example, becomes highly frustrating. For me. Seeing positional play introduced made FM24 a playable game for me. Seeing the nice movements I've set up. So I tend to only do tactical tests rather than actual saves. That's my experience, don't expect yours or anyone else's to be the same, but should be able to vent that, right? And there's game data. In the way I want to play the game, I rely heavily on data. I've done my bug reporting on it, but these things affect my enjoyment when it's not working as intended. All views are valid as long as they are constructive and respectful, and they should bear in mind that other views might differ. I think there are too many on there who struggle with the latter, and smaller but still too many who struggle with the former 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwityke1983 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 I've been loving the game ME included probably having one of my best long term saves I've had in years. That being said there are a lot of little problems with everything that I think over time can just chip away at your will to continue. For me it's the utter illogical way any and all interactions work (or don't as the case usually is). Like being asked in the media when I as England manager drew New Zealand in the world cup "If I knew anything about NZ"...."erm yes I'm from there". My nationalities as they are in real life are English/Kiwi in game something it just doesn't take into account when asking media questions! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's why you get some people so passionate about recruitment focus - made it hard for them to enjoy scouting. Some didn't even comment on the recruitment focus because they don't even touch it. The difference is that one is a legitimate bug and the other is a preference about if you should ever be allowed to score on a throw in or corner. There were definitely issues on release in November. Those have since been fixed. But I've yet to see a direct free kick go in, and no one seems to complain about that. It does get a bit annoying when the same group of people fill the boards with "ME sucks, games broken, only GGPress works" constantly despite being told there's other ways to play. The whole scouting module is/was actually very broken - not just who got recommended. I went from having a pipeline of potential recruits and alternatives like most teams to there's only one left winger known to my scouts. I once needed a replacement goalkeeper after the December patch and my scouts found no one in a top priority focus. Not a soul. That's a huge deal. I had to sign someone who was already in the scouted players tab prior to the module being broken. Even my DOF couldn't recommend someone for a transfer. I'm not crazy in the need to find and sign every single u18 wonderkid on the planet. I started a save with Chelsea a months ago and you wouldn't know that anyone on Man City or Arsenal existed let alone players from other leagues. Its crazy to think that a team like Chelsea doesn't have a pretty extensive network and at least aware of the vast majority of top level players or players who could potentially make it. In 3 months of scouting I only knew of 120 players in the whole of England and that was starting with 75 when I joined. How do you play a save longer than a year or two unless you're doing a youth only or DOF signings only game? The crazy part to me is that I don't recall scouting even being touched in any update. I don't know what they changed to cause it to break initially. If its still broken (haven't played yet) I'm hoping its not cover to stop you from signing players to give the AI more chances to be competitive or snap up wonder kids before you. I doubt that's the case but it's a thought in my head. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Payaso Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Regarding the match engine: it does have some even major issues but I've come quite used to it that about 80% of the highlights start from some kind of a set pieces situation. This is because that is how the game has been for about the last ten years. I find it surprising that for example throw-ins are getting criticised only in this version when I have raised this since 2014, I think. Also if some issues drag on for ten years, for me it is quite clear signal that it is not even possible to fix them with the current limitations of the ME. As FM 2025 is going to be the next big thing for SI, I am not able to be surprised that the work was already done ages ago with this version's ME. But let's look at the bright side: it's still way better than many other versions such as FM 10, 12 and 17 that were horrible. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdbayly Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 (edited) My last hope of FM24 having replayability for the duration of the cycle has been well and truly dumped on. Extreme over achievement kills all saves before they really get going and it seems to be getting worse with every release. I'll be very interested to see if the current player count drops in response to the decision to not update the ME.

Gilberto Silva Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 (edited) On the subject of scouting, below is the issue I am having. If anything, it's worse than before. Here is my focus criteria: Then, on the scouting assignments page it shows this he has 9 reports: Upon clicking the 9 reports it shows he has zero: Then when I go to recruitment focus it shows only 2 in progress: I started this assignment in July and it is now 1st November. So my scout has seen only 2 players that are a minimum 2 star current ability and 3 star potential all season? Scouting has been broken all season - and it is a huge part of the game. How am I supposed to squad build whilst not finding any players? the changelist said this was fixed, it has not been fixed.
