@Dagenham_Dave You can see their initial demands in my opening post. The only locked option was the contract length. Everything else was open.

I had exactly the same issue. The only workaround I found was not to attend the meeting with your board. Attending it gives you two options: Either you negotiate with your current club and stay (the offer from the other club is automatically dismissed) or you resign from your club, but the other offer is dismissed anyway. No idea why this happens, must be a bug.

Got you there, amigo. So, let's just say I wanted to be a really good employer and sweeten the deal with a Team of the Year Bonus. I'm being a very generous guy, so I'm offering the highest bonus I can, €875k. Everything else stays as in their initial demands. Their response: So, as per your logic of "unrealistic input vs. unrealistic output", the unrealistic aspect here is the fact that I want to pay him even more than he's demanding, therefore I'm surely taking the ****, right? EDIT: You know what? Let's not be mean to the poor guy, Christmas is coming, let's offer him a higher wage than he's initially demanding. Instead of this let's bless him with this Merry Christmas, Jose Cordoba! Looking forward to you signing the cont... Oh, I see. You didn't like me taking the **** and offering you a higher wage than you demanded, sorry for that.

Yeah, that's a mouthful, but hear me out. So, there's a defender I'd like to sign. He's slightly interested, but it's worth a shot. I agree to him being an Important Player (their demand), and throw in a language course. Their opening demands are as follows: That's cool, I can take that. But. Let's change that release clause. By one tick. €500k. That's 1.5%. This is their reaction: Ok, let's take a closer look at this: For a change of €500k in a minimum release clause, they demand an increase of: - €81k monthly wage - €900k signing on fee - €175k agent fee - €3.75k appearance fee - €0.9k unused sub fee All this for a change of €500k (or 1.5%) of the minimum release clause. Did that escalate pretty quickly or am I missing something here? But ok, let's do that again. Same situation, but let's change the unused sub fee by one tick. That's €0.1k. Yep, a hundred Euros. Their reaction: Call me old-fashioned, but I wouldn't say that's a reasonable counteroffer to a change of €100 (in an unimportant clause) in a contract deal worth a quarter million Euros a month.

Same problem here, after appointing a new DOF, I lost control of my B and youth team. Also, the Staff Responsibility screen changed to this: Whenever I change the responsibility to "Take control of all yourself" for both teams (as well as in the "Contracts" tab"), the game gives it back to the DOF.

All of them, large DB.

I like having a B team, even if it's not playing in competitions. It's a good way to keep backup players fit without interfering in first or youth team schedules.

As for the player interactions, I just know what to click to get the right result. Press conferences are just meh, always been. They may add a little flavour for new players, but when you have literally tens of thousands of hours in FM, they're just a waste of time.

Playing with all leagues and large DB. Game runs much better than FM23, very happy with that.

There are options. Here's the same situation, but using the default skin: And yes, it's happening on the base skin as downloaded.

Great work, as usual! I have one problem, though. When dealing with an injury, the fields for choosing treatment options seem to be missing: This is at 1920x1080 windowed, 95% zoom.

This has been an issue since (I think) two years. During the regular season, when applying for a job, you'll be invited to the interview quite quickly. When applying after the season, during the summer break, you're forced to wait for an interview for a month or even longer. This means that you'll be able to start your job in July, which means you'll miss the beginning of the summer transfer window and lose a lot of downtime that you could've used for signing staff and so on. Is this a deliberate feature or a bug? Basically, my question is: Why can't I get a job in June?

F) Uninstall game, write angry Steam review on how unrealistic the game is and SI being evil monopolistic thugs.

Mexico should save scum this one.

I think you're talking about the lower part of the page, the one with the results. There you have a column with age, sure. I mean the middle part, where you can add filtering conditions just like "only Strikers" or "only transfer listed" and so on. You can't add the condition "AGE", for instance to only show players in the age range 18-23 and so on.

God, I have to admit, after doing literally tens of thousands of conferences, I just go through the motions, clicking on the "correct" answers in order to get the desired effect. Sometimes I just goof off, tipping a newly promoted team to win the title. Anyway, I'd love to be able to turn the conferences off completely.
