Overall every form of interaction in this game is completely broken or useless. From player interactions down to staff advice. 2 examples of that: - in every save since the beginning of time, my world class gk coach suggests to teach my gk to use both feet. I do that, so when he becomes able to use both feet, the very same gk coach suggests to teach him to avoid using his weaker foot. That specific thing, I reported a long way ago, some moderator replied something in the line they didn't know that was a thing and they would look into it. Tell me you don't actually play the game without telling me you don't play the game. - I always prefer that one of my 2 CB in a 4-3-3 stays back all the time so I try to have the trait taught. Ask X coach to teach my player to stay back all the time. His reply " I do not think this is a good idea". Very well says I. Can you suggest a better move/trait? I kid you not, he recommended to ask my player to stay back at all times. I have been playing this game since its CM 03/04 era and I can give you like 200 examples of things like that, that either make no sense or just don't work at all. But when you report something, the moderators won't acknowledge it because they simply do not play the game or they are so entitled. Right at the beginning of the the FM 24 Beta cycle, I noticed there was an issue with the IF role, they were acting a lot more like wingers instead of cutting inside and act as goal scorers. Long story short, I created a thread, they completely disregarded the post saying they do not have enough data that this happens (not even say we'll take a look at it). It was only after other people starting posting on the same post about the same exact issue they actually bothered to acknowledge it. So yeah...

New FM 24 save with Barcelona, currently at the start of my 3rd season. For the past 2 seasons, Viktor Gyokeres has been my main striker. He is doing a really great job so I do not wish to sell him. Summer of 2026, 1 week before the end of the summer transfer window, Arsenal decides to make an offer which I refuse. Since for whatever reason he is keen on joining Arsenal (considering I've just won a treble and Arsenal are not actually competing for anything), he then becomes unhappy (what a surprise). Next day the majority of my players are unhappy for keeping a player against his will, while I'm trying to convince them that selling our starting striker and one of our best players might not be a good idea. After a second bid, I decide to let him go considering he is now creating issues and to go for Rasmus Hojlund as his replacement. So Hojlund joins FCB and Gyokeres joins Arsenal for around 106 million euros. The very next day my squad complains that I sold our main striker and are now unhappy.... You can't script this really. Hopefully this will be a thing of the past with FM 25, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Mate of mine sent me RDF's post This! What RDF described here happens way too often, I can not ever remember how many games I am the better team, I play beautiful football, create a lot of chances, opposition scores during the sole counter attack they produce, while being on negative x.G, after that, their goalkeeper turns to prime Buffon, and if that's not enough, the goalposts will do the job for him. Can it happen in real life? of course, but not as often as it happens in FM. The ME can not understand the difference between a very good possession based team vs an average team that also happens to play tiki-taka for example, doesn't matter if you have world class players, you will share possession no matter what. These are just examples of match engine issues (and there are a lot more of them), let's talk about the actual game and interactions. You have players literally complaining about anything, from wanting a new contract 4 months after you signed them! I had my right back at a point complaining he wanted more game time after 15 games in the season. He started 12 of them. Assistant manager suggestions about training, opposition or whatever is just practically a joke now. Example " let's ask our goalkeeper to start using both feet, despite he can only use his left one to get on the bus. So after he successfully learns to use both feet, our dear assistant manager will suggest to make sure we train our keeper to avoid using his weaker foot" and this endless cycle never ends. This is not something new by the way, it has been part of the FM series since forever. I am actually scared of what is waiting for us in FM 25 with a new engine. God help us all.

Thank you for the skin update. One minor bug, to report. As seen in the picture below, the player who scored during the game has now a ball next to his profile (which is a welcome change), however it overlaps with the condition icon.

Any chance we can can make this amazing skin a bit more 2560 x 1440 friendly? Notice the big gaps on the Clun Info page, especially the kits and the stadium photo areas. And on the second screenshot, the background photo does not cover the whole screen. Obviously these are like, minor thing, but it would really nice for the skin to work a little bit better on bigger screens Thanks a ton for your work though!

My favorite skin, game feels super weird without it, only "major" issue I found so far, in the club info page, stadium picks do not show despite having a stadium background pack installed, not sure if it's the pack issue or the skin's. (I ve tried using several different stadium packs, none seems to be working)
