Hi If I go to CL rules in game, head to head is listed as the first sorting to be applied. Was this changed from FM23 to Goal Difference as first sorting to be applied in FM24? If so it must be linked to porting a save from FM23 to FM24? I will try and send a save file at some point. Thanks

Hi I really like the additions this year with set-pieces etc (still room for improvement and more depth I think) but the enduring issue, having played for many, many, moons is that the game is just too easy. The key reasons for this in my view are as follows: - The AI managers are still awful and do not aggressively purchase players with high potential so you can pretty much start with any club and the only obstacle to being the best in the world is time i.e. Buy low, sell high, then buy better players etc. etc. Introducing AI into the game closer to level of the various chatbots and AI tools currently available would make things much more interesting, although I appreciate that this would need to be introduced in a way that all the AI managers do not do things perfectly at all times! - Every player in the game should have an attribute range for all attributes even if they are fully scouted and even if they are your own players. You should not be able to see a precise number on any attribute at any time. A range on every attribute of say 4 would perhaps be optimal for players in your team i.e. passing 11-15, tackling 16-20 along with more of a summary on their personality or series of several seperate personality bullet points that can change over time, positive or negative apposed to just 'professional' or 'fickle'. (I know that elements of player personality are hidden under the hood, but this is something that you should be able to see in more detail and subject to change as they get older). -Scout reports are far too accurate. You should be able to scout a player using numerous scouts with say 20/20 judgement and the reports should come back with much more variance and inconsistency. I'm sure there are many interesting things that could be added to make the game more challenging and I do appreciate that the vast majority of gamers will just want to take their beloved non-league team to European glory and dominate the world but perhaps there could be options within the settings added to offer more of a challenge without the need for skinning etc. I am hoping that one day I can do a save starting in the Conference South and maybe be in League 2 after 25 years with a Johnsons Paint trophy or two in the cabinet

I think I have worked it out for those that are interested. I suspect (and hope) that UEFA have given this some thought and will release a variation of the sorting rules upon rolling out the new Champions League format as the current regulations are simply not suitable for a 'League Phase' comprising of teams that may or not play each other. SI Games have no choice but to implement the current sorting rules as per Article 17 as any variations are not listed yet that I can see. The first sorting rule in the Champions League group stage (which seems to also apply to new format 'League Phase' on FM24) is of course head to head between teams on the same points and not goal difference and while this works seamlessly within a 4 team group structure, applying this to the the new format 'League Phase' is coming up with some rather unfair sorting! So looking at my final 'League Phase' standing in the image, there are 6 teams who finished on 15 points. Chelsea played 2 teams from those 6, Stuttgart and Leverkusen, picking up a win and a draw. Leverkusen played Chelsea and Inter winning one and losing one. Stuttgart drew one. Porto and Athletic may have won more games in the 'League Phase' overall but played none of teams within this group of 6, so 0 points and Inter at the bottom after a hammering by Leverkusen. Chelsea P2 W1 D1 - 4 points Leverkusen P2 W1 L1 - 3 points Stuttgart P1 D1 - 1 point FC Porto P0 - 0 points Atletico P0 - 0 points Inter P1 - 0 points (negative goal difference) So as you can see sorting is currently being done between teams that have not played the same number of games; lets just hope that this is not how it will work in the actual real life competition and SI Games can just update the game once the varied rules are published. 17.01 If two or more teams are equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following criteria are applied in the order given to determine their rankings: higher number of points obtained in the group matches played among the teams in question;

Yeah same here Fm23 save moved over Stuttgart me home v mainz cpu away in cup Both teams wore full white Stuttgarts splash of red made it just about ok... but yeah hopefully a fix soon cheers

Hi, I ask as I have not played a match yet on FM24! Presumably the set pieces will not automatically change in game if you were to go from Positive to Ultra Defensive in the last 5 of a cup final for example. Would I need to manually amend the routines in game or have more defensive routines (no one staying forward etc.) and change to these manaully? Hopefully as before any changes you make during a game will not overwrite the original routines so back to normal for next match etc. ? Cheers

Ok thanks. looks like you are all in agreement that if I keep it on, europa and conference games will move to Wednesday with the CL games. cheers

Hi Please can any of you smart people out there help me. Have a network game with a mate in Bundesliga, just finishing up 2nd season. I am host and use the ‘Use Saturday & Wednesday Match Days’ option. This is working well and speeding things up for us; however, next year I will be in the Champions League, which has Tuesday/Wednesday match days in real life and he will likely be Europa League or the Europa Conference League which obviously has the Thursday match days. I am trying to avoid a situation next season where he is having to play Thursday and then Saturday. I do not know how this option will work next year, so question time please… Can you untick this option mid save and if so, at what point will the scheduling be affected? If I keep it on, what will happen with the scheduling next season please? Many thanks!
