I have another example which in my opinion exemplifies pretty cleraly that this is a bug. Atalanta spending most of its tranfer budget (54 mln euros for a single player) on Thiago Gouveia that ends up never playing because he does not fit the 3-4-1-2 formation used by the team. As you can see, at the end of december he still has 0 overall appearances. I noticed that most of the times this bug happens with teams that play a 3 man defence (3-4-1-2, 3-4-2-1) and keep on buying wingers and inside forwards for no reason.

I uploaded a savegame named "AI_buying_players_in_wrong_roles" which is before the tranfer happened. I also upload another savegame named "AI_buying_players_in_wrong_roles_after" that is after the transfer. Inter (3-5-2 system) bought Victor Tsygankov that will get no playing time because he cannot play in any position in a 3-5-2. I have seen that happening quite a few times at this point

Thanks Zachary. The problem is that chairman's objectives change whenever there is a takeover, while club vision was more "stable". So you confirm me this is a bug and can we expect it to see it fixed?

I trust you guys to have conducted the correct statistical analysis. From my (not that detailed) analysis, penalties in game are 20-30% less than in real football

Anyone?

Let's wait for someone from SI to answer to this

Yep, I have been having the same issue, most formations disappeared, which is really a shame. Hope it can be fixed

Do you guys know why they removed the possibility to edit club vision from the editor? How can I do it? Now I can only edit "supporters objectives". Which in theory isn't the same thing as club vision right?

I still see technical attributes developing less than mental and physical, as it came out from the analysis on the other post. Can we still see some adjustment to make it more even?

As I said, I still see technicals lagging a bit behing mentals and physical in players development. Can we expect to see further balancing on the issue @Andrew James?

Seems to me that technical attributes are still lagging behind with respect to mental and physical honestly. Even though the negative difference is lower after the update, there is still a negative difference with every single technical attribute at the moment.

Hi Zachary, should we consider the issue to be completely fixed then? I'll run some tests to check

I uploaded a savegame named "no rotation ai". You can notice it yourself. Even teams that in reality rotate a lot (for example, FIorentina's attacking line) because they have european games, in FM always use the same striker. Even in roles where they have players of similar value, that should be in competition between each other to start every game. The AI just picks one, and the other one never plays. In the savegame I uploaded, you can have a look at Artur Cabral: Never playing. The manager is always playing Jovic. While in reality, FIorentina manager is almost always switching between Jovic, Cabral and Kouame, that are constantly competing for a spot in the starting eleven. Completely ridicoulous, where is the "Improved AI" Headline feature? The AI is exactly the same, if not worse, than previous games. I will be returning the game soon. I am done for this year.

Absolutely agree, am I the only one to notice that the AI is still exactly the same as last years? Where is this magic major overhaul? What does it concern exactly? AI managers still employ THE SAME formation every single game, they do not even rotate players always using the same 11, as I said in my post regarding the issue. And this should be realism? I feel like I have been tricked into buying when they have as a MAJOR FEATURE something that is completely non existent in game. I think I'll be returning the game this year, this is just ridiculous.

I can indeed, but it is just a common fact. Managers do not rotate. Just load up a random save and you'll see AI constantly employing the same 11, with the other players only being subbed in. You can check it yourself with a random save

Can someone from SI tell us something about this? The bug is there. The AI rotation is non existent and got a lot worse than it was in FM 22. I am still flabbergasted since better AI was supposed to be an "headline feature"

Honestly, did anyone notice ANY change in how the AI managers behave? I have noticed none, they look identical as last year. If anything, worse, since I am noticing that they only play the same team and never rotate their starting eleven, even with super tired players. I barely see any turnover being done. And that was supposed to be an HEADLINE feature?

Thank you Zachary. Can we expect the issue to be fixed with the final version of the game?

Opened a post on the issue

Could you post this on the bug tracker section if you did not already? It will help speeding up the process of fixing the issue. I will post my findings as well
