[My Players Being Offered End-of-Contract Deals - No Notifications About it?]

Not at all, my comment is 100% factual, I'm merely backing up DabviitOzkan's agreement with my viewpoint.

Except, you know, when the media announces it. Nobody knew Lewandowski was signing with Bayern until the very day his contract ran out with Dortmund, right? 

Correct. And the same situation occurred with Kylian Mbappe a few days ago. Neither he nor his agent announced his plans to PSG when Real Madrid first made him a contract offer, PSG they only 'officially' found out when the announcement was made.

So: this notification is working true to real life.

Even if it is "realistic", just based on how many emails the game already sends you about worthless stuff, it should at least send you one letting you know that a player has accepted a pre-contract with another club, regardless if I was going to sign them again or not. It's kinda nice to know where a player is going. 

But you only get emails on things where 'people' want you to know something, or on something which is common knowledge. A player accepting a pre-contract offer elsewhere does not fall into these categories. It works just like real life: if if my fixed term contact is due to expire and my employer has made no effort to offer me a renewal / extension then I am not under any obligations to share my future plans with them.

It's not an issue, it's how real life works. And it's easy enough to avoid if you want to try to keep the player.

[Ball shadow still exist since fm2014?]

I've just checked and the ball does still have a shadow (and one per floodlight in night matches) in FM24. I've got all my graphics settings at the highest level.

[What is "Transfer expenditure" and why is it costing me tens of millions more than I've actually paid?]

Chelsea has hundreds of million of prior transfers paid by instalments, so these fees will have a massive impact on you for a few years to come.

[Goalkeeper injuries]

I wonder if a goalkeeper has literally ever broken a hand ‘catching’ a ball. 

Yes, this has happened to me.

[My Players Being Offered End-of-Contract Deals - No Notifications About it?]

I'm not too sure if this is a bug as in real life a player is no obligation to let their current team know what their future plans are.

[Club debt]

You can do that with the in game editor.

[Punishment for failing to meet FFP]

Rangers were relegated for effectively going into liquidation and reforming as a new entity, not for FFP reasons.

In the English Premiership I believe the largest penalty available for breaching FFP is a 12 points deduction and a financial penalty. I'm not sure about other leagues / countries.

Really helpful thread

Does anyone know how I can get the team/player name font to be in capital letters like the past few FM’s and not lower case like this years?

This still works, just the other way around.

 

[[FM24][SKIN] Football Manager 2024 Base Skins]

Thanks for this.

For the Transparent skin can you explain how we can make this darker and lighter? I've tried and failed I'm afraid - edit - now found it, darkened the background and it looks just dandy now,

Also in the past we could edit the "paper" file to remove the blurring effect but this appears to be missing this year. This was explained in this link - a few years old now but it worked for FM17-23:

If it is possible to do this for FM24 then can you explain how, please?

[wage budget question]

The budget is based on the 350 p/w amount. That's the amount the club is paying the player.

[Fining players for poor performance]

It may be "totally acceptable" to you but it isn't to others. And as XaW says, it is also totally illegal both from a FIFA and (certainly in the UK) from a contract law perspective.

In any case, performance is subjective. One persons 5 rating s another persons 8 rating. Hopefully this unrealistic option will be gone in FM2024.

[Undo future manager change - can I use the in-game editor for that?]

No.

[Pre Match Team talks - do you read the room?]

Yes, no, no, no.

[Why are all my players unavailable - Barcelona B ?]

If you've added a manager for the B team then you can't manage them as you are not the manager.

[DLC UPDATE JUNE 23 23.5]

Hello, French.

The SI staff will be too busy right now to do this as they will be busy right now taking holidays and pulling together the 2022-23 data, data changes, results, league changes etc. etc. for FM2024.

[What features must appear in FM24 for you to buy the upcoming edition?]

I'm hoping the next version will have football and management.

[(FM23) 3 players on international duty during FA Cup FInal]

I've a similar problem - Leeds United players have been on holiday all season.

[This game would be much better if you could remove squad registration rules]

4 hours ago, Overmars said:

You have three options here:

1. Use the pre-game editor and edit advanced rules for the nation and leagues in which you want to play. This takes a bit of work to get right, especially if you start from scratch, but there is usually someone out there who has an edited file to share that can serve as a great starting point. Then you simply need to edit the squad registration rules of that file as you see fit.
2. You can choose to manage in nations with few (if any) squad registration rules. The top leagues in Portugal, the Netherlands, and Denmark come to mind. France, Spain, and Germany are also very loose with their rules. The only challenge you would then have is registering enough players for international competitions such as the Champions League.
3. Accept the challenge and prioritize home-grown talent in your transfer dealings.

            4. Use the in game editor to allow squad registration at any time.

[anyone feel like me]

Nigel Farage will be so proud of you.

Yes, this is how it works in real life - teams promoted out of the Championship to the Premiership forego their rights to the end of season slush fund.
