I haven't voted as it's a meaningless and absurd question to ask in the first place.
I haven't decided whether to buy FM25 yet, but if I do buy it, I will definitely play a women's league, get to know the players, the rules etc.
Thanks for answering my question and contributing to the thread mate.........

Even then, the delay has gone from early November to late November. Its a few weeks not several months.
At the moment its only a few weeks. That might still change.
Its also a time when games like Call of Duty and others are getting released. Sales might drop because of it. The later it comes out will eat into the sales.
On a personal note, I play the game from release till around April/May time and the summer weather and getting out means I stop playing around then and then get exited about the new game coming out around this time. Shorter game span this year for me.
Streamlining the game with no international football and touchline shouts are fine with me. If leaving out the women's football meant the game was released at the start of November instead of late November, yes please, I would be fine with that also.

When I started the thread I thought the percentage would be higher for No to be fair. But a good 45% say you will. That says to me that the women's game is right to be included in the game and is definitely merited. Like a few have said, I have nothing wrong with the inclusion but I wont be playing it myself.
The only issue for me is the date of release getting put back to the end of November. If the women's leagues were to be removed and added at a later date because of the difficulties with the new match engine, would most prefer that so the game was released back to its original early November release?

Just out of interest. Could it be a stand alone game? I watch the odd game here and there, but I wont be playing it on Football Manager.

I've posted an awful lot on here this year and the threads were really popular, even released a book. And everything I write is on my website;
https://www.viewfromthetouchline.com/
Just subscribed to the website.
Ive used a lot of your work over the years to help and work on my own tactics Cleon, stuff that goes way back to 2015/16 im sure on tactical building, squad building, the 4231, it goes on.
Im on the forums constant from around October through to around February, mainly researching and looking for help on my own tactic. Once I have it working, I do seem to come on less due to the game cycle and basically the weather improving and getting out more. I might be wrong in saying, but you might not of put that new work out before the end of the year and maybe missed a lot.
That saying, having your own website makes total sense and I will come on and take a look. For the forums here, maybe tactical content from creators like yourself should be highlighted and be given more visibility. And not just with stickies!! ????

I've been lurking around this forum for years taking bits from each one. Rashidi, Cleon, Herne and a few others. Helps when things are going wrong. Another eye so to speak. But, and it is a minor criticism, they were getting out of date. 4-5 versions old. Still relative but in the last 2 years at least nothing new has come out to the level and of real good quality like what we used have.

I tried a 3 at the back with Sheff Wed on the Beta. Was fired after 29 games being in 7th place. Restarted with Wed again with a mix of 4231 and 433 and finished 2nd in the first season. I found I was getting a lot of possession and very few shots. Being a promotion favourite team with 3 centre backs didnt work for me. Felt I needed that extra player further up the field. Its all depending on how you set up your team though. Everyone's different. Look at Spurs in real life. Its negative football, not great to watch, but if you can set it up correctly, can still get a result here and there.

Im 41 and live with my 11 year old daughter. I see the girlfriend at weekends and occasionally one night during the week. Not sure she could live with me full time because I have sky sports news, football and/or football manager on constantly. Im happy. And thats the main thing.

If im playing with more expressive with my creative freedom, will this impact my high pressing I use with my team? My advanced playmaker with roam from position set, would that effect my pressing as a unit?

On the roles, when Zinchenko has been playing hes played like an IWB cutting into the midfield areas. Xhaka plays a lot higher than what Partey does in the middle so having your 2 mids playing similar roles aint right. Odegaard I would have has an AP. Hes splitting defences with his passing constantly. Saka is a tough one, kind of like a hybrid of both the IF and the W.

The tactics and training guides pinned to the top are all 2-3 years old, or older!! Especially training. All very informative and have always been a good read. Not out of date but could be refreshed or less of them pinned maybe? Time for a little bit of housekeeping maybe. Cleons latest book certainly should?
Anyone of these users working on new stuff out of interest? Would be keen to know if any of our favourites planning on working on new stuff for FM23.

Buy every year. Will do this year. Looks like a few good editions there. Squad planner looks great.
Set pieces upgrade please?!!

There are plenty of fixes. Just not a list as this is the release of the full version.
I apologize if I've got this wrong, but the purpose of the beta is to identify and report bugs, issues etc so that full release is as good and bug free as possible. The SI community, beta players, over the last couple of weeks have contributed and commented on the issues within the game and personally, speaking for myself and reading the comments over the last few weeks, would like to see, be informed of any changes on the full release. For me, has the centre back ratings been looked at, possession stats, AI defence passing, inside forwards being strengthened???
On a side note, congrats SI. So much hard work and dedication has gone into this years game. Kudos to every member of staff involved in the game. Potentially the best game yet.

I'm away this weekend and was thinking about a mobile app for my save game. With the introduction of the data hub, I could gain access to all my stats and data and take notes and suggestions on my team. Look at my players attributes and training schedules and make some adjustments, taking notes I'm guessing it might be impossible to implement but I'm talking maybe a basic list of data from your saved game so you can think and take notes on your game when your away from your laptop, desktop or whatever you play the game on. We all think about Football Manger when we are at work, on the bus, at the grandparents for the weekend right??!!

Quick ones from me.
Doesn't matter what I try my possession stats are shocking. Something that others have said and should be looked at.
My centre backs get shockingly low match ratings. Ben White will get clean sheets and never gets over a 7. Anyone else notice low match ratings for their centre backs?
Anyone scoring many goals from corners? I'm not getting any.

The way I see it, the more people playing the Alpha version, from SI staff, researchers, youtubers, the better. Potentially making the release version of the game better and more bug free. These youtubers put a lot of work into their videos and are very experienced in playing the game and what they do. In a way, SI are rewarding these guys with bringing more gamers, new gamers to the brand. More people playing the gaming, brings more money and a better game.
I will buy the game every year. Why? Value for money. Best game out there. No questions asked. Quick sum. The hours I've put into this years game comes to 4p an hour. If SI want to hand out an Alpha version of the game to some youtubers, go ahead, I dont have a problem with it.

Also interested to see how good Patino is.

I think a lot of players might use Tierney as a wide centre back if playing with 3 at the back.
I think Arsenals first 11 is good. Young and should have potential, Saka, Smith Rowe both leading that. I think buying a striker at the the start of the second second will be top of the list. Laca's contract has only 1 year left and Auba getting older and starting to decline.
I think finding a partner in the middle of the field next to Partey will be important. Xhaka im not a fan of and Sambi is still very young.
Still to get a lot of dead wood out of the club to free up wages a priority also.

I know I'll get slaughtered for this, but I'm probably one of the only ones worried about the fact tactics will be less 'plug and play'
.
My game time is limited and I like the fact some tactics can be plug and play with really minor tweaks. I'm hopeless with tactics but absolutely love the game, and being able to pick a tactic I like the look of or that fits how a particular team play lets me get right into it without having to mess about too much.
Sorry to all the tactical legends out there but I need all the plug and play help I can get.
I've mentioned this earlier in the thread. I'm totally against plug and play tactics but understand fully the reasons why people use them and for people that don't have as much spare time to come up with their own. For me, the possibility to bring an option for an AI difficulty level of some kind? Playing one tactic, a super tactic that wins most games no matter the situation and opponent, shouldn't happen. Adaptability over plug and play please.

Will you play Women's football in FM25?
in Football Manager General Discussion
Posted
The reason why I asked the question and started the poll. Great response and if it brings more players to Football Manager brilliant.
