Yes, the star rating on the coaching category just depends on the highest rated coach abilities (and of cause his potential split across different categories). Additional coaches assigned just helps reduce the workload. I dont think its that broken actually, perceiving the "bibs & cones" guys just as an assistant to the mastermind. What else should happen? It wouldnt make sense that the quality of training would be reduced (e.g. an average of the mastermind and bibs/cones guy). All in all it can only be a help for the mastermind to get some help in...

For instance FM24 being "Kindergarden Manager 2024".

Hes 27 not exactly young anymore. Mediocre skills and playing in Portugal. 25M seems pretty realistic. IMO many other issues far greater than the transfer valuations.

Headless chicken syndrom is back. Defenders running away from the ball letting the striker score.

So, why wasnt this fixed for 24.2 ?

Actually, thats not really good in my oppinion. Less goals also means more boring.

Sorry but this doesnt make any sense. Delaying the release wouldnt change a thing because SIs whole development/QA setup is based on beta + users reporting issues in large scale. Delaying the release of the game just delays those inputs being given. So the issues we keep seeing as reoccuring, defects not being adressed despite reported etc. is more on the process and nature/scope of the test/feedback than a matter of "if we just delay by a month everything would be fine".

I think you are right. I won this match 10-0, but in the following game played a more narrow game in the cup against an amateur club... ending 4-1 but still much closer. Seems to be certain tactical correlations that makes goalscoring go crazy, with the AI not really able to adapt to the (coincidence) of me striking gold tactically.

Okay...maybe the goal scoring is a bit over the top... but it sure is fun

While you are 100% correct on the lifecycle you describe, the decision on not playing and what level of realism you expect and tolerance you have is subjective. I personally find this years game quite good/stable, despite the many bugs (we are used to as FM fans). I still play and enjoy it (also compared to previous editions).

Sorry i dont have a save game that is this precise, but most players i negotiate in this save demands a minimum release clause so should be fairly easy to reproduce. I dont think i can save a game that hits just before this. The issue is when setting the expiry date of the release clause on the calendar popup. EDIT: Okay i managed to easily reproduce it. Offer a contract to any player in my squad. Add a minimum release clause with an expiry date. The try to remove the expiry date again via the popup and the button "No expiry date". Doesnt work.

There is never a one fix in FM. There is a fix and multiple new bugs in exchange.
