The current state of the game
TokyoWanderer replied to Andreas's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
Daveincid's mod doesn't alter AI behavior. I'll list the changes he makes to promote more squad rotation from memory, so I could be wrong. 1. He raises/lowers the manager attributes and tendencies that lead to more squad rotation and more use of substitutions. For example, there are manager ratings that influence: how much AI managers rotate the starting 11 for matches in low-priority cups, how much they rotate in general, and the likelihood of offering hot prospects on loan. 2. He raises injury frequency to a more realistic level, which obviously leads to more rotation. 3. In FM23 he also made several changes to boost how young players gain reputation, which influences their likelihood of getting playing time, but I'm not sure if he replicated this for FM24 yet. -
You have about 50 posts telling SI what they should or shouldn't do. What about some humility and letting the highly successful videogame company decide? Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but isn't it a bit much when I can't read through a single page of this thread without reading your opinion of what SI should do?

The goals you are seeing in the game are from a Fiorentina in 2025 that is the best team in the world, so the comparison would be against the GPG Manchester City scores in the present. Fiorentina in the game: 106 goals in 32 matches for 3.3 GPG Manchester City last 32 matches: 100 goals in 32 matches for 3.1 GPG Again, perhaps there are too many goals in the game. I haven't played or tested enough to have a strong opinion. It would be nice if you and anyone else who is clueless about how to provide the proof would calm down a bit. Simulating leagues and looking at the total goals scored is the way to do it. Some users have done it, maybe even yourself. SI are investigating. You can stop trying to drown every comment in this thread with terrible arguments.

Hardest league to win
TokyoWanderer replied to Weasek's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
Has anyone tried Malaysia? In real life, the top team Johor has lost one match total in the last four seasons combined. -
Your point is made and frankly, it is not a good one in my opinion. You don't get to have great players sitting on the bench for years. Most young promising players leave their teams when they get to a certain age if they don't get to start the majority of matches. Everything you are posting suggests to me that the game is working great in terms of how players react to their roles, with the exception of the complaints of the leaders about you not renewing the contracts of the players who want to leave for more playing time. Like, Parisi is 24 and has already won a CL as a bench player according to you. Of course he would now want to leave for more playing time.

No. You are the only one who refuses to accept that the match engine is the same, even though you were told BY THE GUY IN THE MATCH ENGINE DEVELOPMENT TEAM that the match engine is the same. You seriously need to stop looking for ghosts and like read a little about randomness and variance. Sorry for being harsh. It's a shame that you are wasting time in such a ridiculous quest.

WIP - [FM24] Norwegian Lower Leagues
TokyoWanderer replied to XaW's topic in Editors Hideaway Download Forum FM24
For XaW or anybody who may know, is it possible to use this file and only make the 1st-through-4th tiers playable? I know on some of these files you need to load all the way down in order to avoid problems but promotions/relegations, so that's why I'm wondering. Also, if you don't mind me asking something that I can't check for myself right now, is the 4th tier researched? Or would I need to add players to playable teams? Anyway, thanks for these leagues XaW! -
And what is "reality"? 2.4 goals/game like in the championship last season? or 3.0 like the prem this season? or 2.0 like the Spanish second division last season? Perhaps it's 3.6 like Bundesliga this season? I'm from Argentina. Maybe we should do it like our third division, with 1.9 goals per game!

Long Term Save in FM24?
TokyoWanderer replied to psucolonel's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
If you have a specific league in mind that you want to play in, I'd recommend looking at the Bugs thread for that competition to ensure there isn't anything game-breaking. You can find the competition bug threads here: https://community.sigames.com/bugtracker/football-manager-2024-early-access-bugs-tracker/competition-rules-and-schedule/ Other kinds of bugs can be resolved with patches on ongoing saves. Outside of that, I'm echoing DD's comment above. This type of game will always have bugs that if you read about them, they sound game-breaking and stop you from playing. The final version of every FM ever has bugs that look massive if you read about them. Odds are you would never find out about them if you just played. -
Force-fed cookies
TokyoWanderer replied to phnompenhandy's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
I would have never noticed if not for this thread. I guess my peripheral vision is not good enough for a 27'' monitor -
If you are going to claim there is a bug, you need to provide at least minimal proof beyond "because I say so". I never noticed random drops in tactical familiarity, but it will and should drop if you are changing the squad around.

No Team Instructions
TokyoWanderer replied to GS_Ball's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
I win leagues with "bad" teams and rarely use team instructions. The player roles and duties are the base of a tactic. In my experience, team instructions are for emphasis or for when you want your team to defend a certain special way, such as parking the bus or pushing up to pressure. I swear this is not a brag, but I don't find it difficult to win the English National League South or North with the worst teams after minimal reinforcements by just playing 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1. This is without team instructions to start, but I do watch the matches in full and may introduce one or two instructions if I notice problems (mainly work ball into box if the team is being too wasteful, or I drop down the defensive lines if we are winning but struggling to defend). -
Halfback role needs to be reviewed
TokyoWanderer replied to talc25's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
Oh ok, I guess you could say that what City did at the end of last season with the Stones-Rodri pairing resembles a back three with a "half back" completing a back four at times when they were attacked. Well, FM can't replicate most of what City does honestly, and it was also a tactical revolution that appeared after FM23 was launched. -
Halfback role needs to be reviewed
TokyoWanderer replied to talc25's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
Can you find an example of how a half back works with three central defenders? I bet you can't. -
When we use custom league files, most of the time we need to add players to playable teams, as otherwise the teams in new leagues will have few or no players. The problem is that the option is global, so it adds many players (mainly youth players) to every active league, bloating the save. For example, non-league teams in England will all suddenly have full youth squads, which isn't realistic or desirable. A possible solution would be to let us "add players to playable teams" as league-based option when we are choosing database options in the advanced league creation setup. Just like we have the option to "load all players based in nation" for every country, we could have an option to "add players to playable teams" in the same screen.

In South America, it is not uncommon to use average points across 2 or 3 seasons to determine who gets relegated. I think you can check the table with average points by clicking where it says Overall. One of those two drop-downs should lead you to the average points table. Wanderers probably had worse seasons than Danubio and River Plate in the previous two years.

xG in the game doesn't necessarily know it's an open goal. Players tend to miss-kick often from crosses. Calibrating xG is incredibly difficult and there are choices to be made, both in designing it for the game and in real life. Accusing the developers of "deliberately trying to hide unrealistically high chance creation and unrealistically poor finishing" is incredibly dumb and also offensive. Do you also believe that matches are scripted?

Just like defenders will tackle harder if the referee allows it, Martinez will go as far as the referee allows to reduce the probability of a good penalty shot by the opponent. He's not hurting anyone physically or mentally with what he does. The off-field antics are for Argentinean fans, who enjoy a much more vulgar brand of humor than what is the norm for Europeans. Mbappe talked **** about South American football before the World Cup and crushed Argentina's cup dreams in 2018, so he's the enemy. Dibu could have done much worse than holding a baby doll with Mbappe's face on it.
