As a veteran player I’m one of those who thinks game is too easy and within few seasons everything is won. But as the game is unique and still fun to start with new “projects” I still keep playing.
One of the fun part is to have my own restrictions to work with. Last and current one is that I play with Danish club, AaB, and I can only add Scandinavian players. Also, wage must be kept under 150k£/pw. Transfers with triple the value must be accepted and I can use only 1/3 of the money coming in. Yes, Danish league is walk in the park but at least European competitions are hard to be successful with squad restrictions.
Of course it would be delightful addition to the game having ability to increase difficulty, like hardcore mode.

This is something I’ve been wishing for too. Like in squad page when looking transfer status, there could be “Available for reserve” tap too? Demoting/promoting is sometimes very time consuming. And with B teams demoting player to play only next match many times turns out to be many matches as something is wrong with Senior / B-team connection. Reserve teams seem to be working properly.

B-Team bug is most definately still there. All clubs with B-team / Youth team in real leagues have this notable bug in which players doesn't progress and are unhappy. Those "basic" reserve teams works well as it should be. One of the most best jobs and challenges would be take control of good youth producing team (Like PSV & Jong PSV or AZ, Ajax etc) and turn those into real young talent factories, but this B-team bug takes fun out of it unfortunately. This is something I'd like to fixed most in FMM as B-team is actually far more worse to have than reserve team! This have been the case for few years now and takes fun of taking over these clubs for having a save with intention of bringing up and nurturing team with local talent.
I dont mind that reserve teams are usually useless what it comes to results. Assistant managers are quite useless setting up tactics and even fielding formidable reserve team with great talent usually means 1-4 hammering with far worse opponent
. But main thing is that youths get games and progress. This however isn't the case all years because I've noticed in many saves that these are those special years when no matter who is playing reserves are playing well and in EPL next year you're playing JPT trophy with reserve team! This seems to be happening in about 3-4 year cycles. Result-wise, B-teams tend to play better and consistently. I've had Jong AZ and Jong PSV teams consistently in top end of tables. But training coaches/facilities, progression and happiness is buggy as mentioned.
I'm sure these are just tweaks in otherwise quality product

About those B teams, are you currently looking into issue with youngsters not developing in B teams (Like Jong PSV) like in reserve teams and they tend to be more dissatisfied in B teams as in "Regular" reserve teams? You only can get young players developed when promoted to A Team (in which their attributes skyrockets even without playing) versus being and playing in B team. Also, they somehow turn down every loan opportunity when in B team, but if I promote them first then they'll accept all loan offers. B teams, like Jong PSV, are just not working correctly and have multiple issues. Coaching, bad facilities when having world class to name few more.

Thanks for sharing! Do you have a save that might be before they have signed all the GKs? I believe you are right that we have previously looked at a similar issue of some kind.
Hi Louei, I actually sent save file yesterday straight from game when I stumbled upon this.
I’ve played a lot and this is first time I’ve seen anything like this in 2021 edition. Maybe because those were free AI thought that those would be good additions for the squad, or something like that.
On a side note, I don’t know if it have been addressed but relatively quality players still tends to be stuck at squads for multiple years even without getting any or very rarely games.
Keep up the good work!

I noticed quite the opposite. I found team with 17 keepers! I sent that file for you if needed. I thought this was something you’ve already sorted out?

I’ve noticed couple times that my player have played 2-3 minutes and still got 8 rating without goals or assists in match they should be max 6. International ratings seems like rolling the dice at times.

Africa national cup is a nightmare England Premier League.
So I don't think it is a bug.
Aberdeen plays in Scottish Premiership and issue was because European international matches were played at the same time, most of my player are either Scottish or English. This happened 2 seasons ago and have not happened ever since, though.
Also, anyone else have corners leading to goals marked as counterattack goals in commentary? It seems like it doesn’t matter if I’m playing counter or attacking mentality.

Hi,
Encountered this bug with majority of my squad is on internation duties, but I still have 2 matches against Rangers (which also have multiple players away on international duties) in Scottish premier League. Not sure why this happened, maybe possible match days have run out, but still its pretty crippling to have way over 10 players away. This have been only time I've encountered this bug. I saved to that point in case you'll need to look at it.
Still managed to get decent enough starting eleven to win matches!

I’m feeling like sharing my experience after playing few season this year’s edition of FMM. It’s been a very positive one and gladly give a feedback to FMM team who has made a great game in difficult 2020 circumstances.
First of all, comparing to previous years, this year have been completely bug free for me (I understand that some bugs have been present, but considerably less than previously). Great job & testing! Really enjoyable!
Current COVID-crisis and match congestion is really great challenge to make it through. For a player who have played for 6-7 years, it proved a mighty test and for the first time I had some really tough patch to come through in the first season. Managing Aberdeen in SPL with relatively small senior players first team squad is recommended for a challenge to fulfil board expectations!
I’ve been calling for extra difficulty to FMM for years, I don’t know if this have been tweaked or did I just have bad luck at times, but it took into 3rd season to build squad capable for taking on good European sides in European cup consistently and beating Celtic in domestic league.
injuries seem to be happening slightly more than in the past, which is a good and a bit more realistic. It is refreshing that building squad is really needed for rotation rather than just keeping players for fun.
AI in matches and squad building seem to have taken a step to right direction, as in the third season I’ve not seen a club with 8 keepers or squad full of late 30’s players. My rising stars have been also poacher more by the big clubs than previously, or that how it feels like.
Big thumbs up for SI FMM team for a great game!

I’ve noticed this one too! I’m using iPhone XR and swiping noticeably more sluggish than in FMM20
Otherwise 2021 have been great in terms of new features! And after few hours of playing I’ve noticed any bugs so far. Other than swiping being unresponsive, of course

Hi, unfortunately I've advance in my save past that, sorry. But this happened at least in 2 occasions. This was shown in assistant managers report on international matches with 2 GK from my reserve side with both showing 90 mins playing time.

Hi,
I have couple young keepers which both plays for England U21 squad. It's quite amusing that most matches both get 90mins of match time! So that's 2 goalkeepers playing - at the same time.

After over one month of playing it's still the best FMM so far! I've played all but first previously but 2020 edition is easily the best with reserve team addition and improved squad interaction. No major flaws or bugs came across to me which is surprising and great of course.
Started new game before Christmas and decided to turn mighty Kings Lynn Town to EPL club. Now 5 seasons in
My observations:
-There are fewer above-your-league freebies which you can sign easily than I. Previous versions. Obviously good and more realistic. Also I've struggled to get good players cheaply, also a great thing!
-Starting my 5th season, now in L1 and first few seasons offered nice challenge, needed second season to get promoted to FL, without getting into play-offs. I'd say it's bit more challenging now and that's a good thing.
-My stadium capacity have gone up from 8.200 to 10.200 without any information about it(!). Board let me upgrade my training and youth facilities somewhat easily whenever I made profit from player sales. 50k for a upgrade seems like peanuts? Maybe should be more expensive?
-If English lower leagues and Belgium and German leagues are loaded at the same time there are quite a exodus of Belgium and German players to English lower leagues. Moving from Germany to Kings Lynn to earn 275 pounds a week? Unlikely happening.
-4th season everything clicked for my team and won L2 easily. I'm surprised that my team continuous that in L2 (1st after 12 games and no losses yet) with squad that just isn't up to most club standards.
Overall, I'm enjoying this game even too much, thank you very much!

I was sceptical at first remembering last year release was not so smooth. This year there seem to be a lot less bugs and game is running smoothly! Well done SI! New features are good and reserve team action is very welcome feature. Developing youth players now is well done for a mobile game. I'm absolutely loving this game, heck I even like new colours and looks.
10 goals games are in past too (or is it just me?) And AI seems to be maybe bit more intelligent than in previous game.
Selling fringe players isn't easy money anymore, or at least I tend to have a lot less than previously did. This brings nice touch of realism.
Few observations:
-Matches attendance doesn't show? Is it more dynamic than before where only thing that seemed to affect was table position.
-Pass amounts are quite small I think? Or is just mine direct style of play
-That quick flash news are, well, too fast. Anyhow to read those results and transfers again?
-Stat outtakes during matches are nice, could be upped even more and sort of Assistants' notes and observations during matches would be great too.
Keep up the good work lads!

Im old school players who use only text based matches. I get kicks out of detail and depth. Just more depth, especially on finances and teams' training and second team / yout team action would be very welcome additions.
Oh, and mostly, no bugs

Good suggestions, but few of those would also mean considerable changes to whole budget system. Monthly installments would be just a chunk taken out of transfer budget right away. Well, if you could gamble and overspend that way would give nice touch, I must say. Getting fired for making bad transfers would be nice
.
My worry is how buggy the FMM19 is still, I am just worried all the potential bugs involved with these!

Any update on B teams? Is player development and conditioning fixed?
