Waiting for the first two divisions of Cyprus. The licence for them shouldn't be too costly and the first division is more competitive and talented than for example any division of Gibraltar, India, Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, South Africa, Latvia, Wales, Northern Ireland, Ireland, .. to name a few 😅. Here are some relatively known players that currently play in Cyprus, known as decent ex-talents or players that were purchased somewhere in their career for 1M€ or over. Some of them are even at EURO2024 & Copa América 2024 too; Giorgi Kvilitaia, Wilson Eduardo, Tomané, Anastasios Donis, Lucas Villáfañez, Dieumerci Ndongala, Lasha Dvali, Vid Belec, Aleksandr Kokorin, Steeve Yago, Fran Sol, Wilfried Kaptoum, Pere Pons, Onni Valakari, Patrick Twumasi, Ivica Ivusic, Mariusz Stepinski, Alexander Fransson, Moreto Cassama, Adam Lang, Adam Matthews, Francis Uzoho, Charly Musonda Jr, Majeed Waris, Moussa Wagué, Christian Makoun, Michael Krmencik, Mushaga Bakenga, Luciano Narsingh, Alexander Kacaniklic, etc. The league is also very competitive with various teams challenging to win the league. The 2023-2024 season ended with the first 2 top teams on equal (73) points, with the third ending close at 69 points. Would it be that much of a deal to add this little but relatively decent football country's first two divisions to FM? Ecuador should be in too but i imagine that licence is much more expensive. Please consider Cyprus tho, it would more or less complete Europe. The other lacking european leagues (countries) are not of such quality so im not going to ask to include Moldova because they have Sheriff Tiraspol, dont worry 😄. Thank you!

Exactly! If anything they should release the game much earlier in the future. Waiting till November (or late October for beta) is so frustrating. Some leagues are already starting in July like Belgium and Switzerland. Either way they'll have a full year to work on the next version, they only have to change the release date once, for example next year, as FM25 will have the most work to accomplish so this year they can't afford to lose that extra one or two months if they decided to shift. However, for the future they should consider releasing the game earlier, in my opinion.

+1. This could be part of a difficulty level for example during save set up. Like; A) Easy = 50% less injuries compared to real life B) Medium = 25% less injuries compared to real life C) Difficult = 100%/as realistic injury ratio as clubs in real life face I've seen loads of FM players asking for difficulty levels/increase as most of the experienced FM players find the game too easy as it currently is. They need to please all the players, so give each player the option to set up their save their way, so everyone is happy.

Yes, like on Sofascore. Its interesting

This should have been implemented a long time ago. I requested it too in detail and how it would work. Being able to start as a youth coach and work your way up would bring a whole new dynamic to the game! It would really enrich FM

I fully agree with @Jack Currie. I also believe that having to pick a difficulty level for each save is not a bad idea and that this would please different types of FM players. FM is too easy as it is today for the hardcore players that know the game inside out.

Every player in the current (FM24) match engine looks the same now besides the colour of their hair. With Unity Engine arriving for FM25 it should be possible to have more variety in the player models where you can distinguish players in height and body build. A player like Gavi for example should look like the real him when it comes to height; 1,73m so short in-game and body build athletic and slim while a player like Haaland should be shown taller than Gavi in the match engine. Stocky/muscular players should also be shown as stocky/muscular instead of having the same shape as every other player, like Harry Maguire, Romelu Lukaku and Toby Alderweireld for example who are very strong physically but are less athletic. Even FIFA and PES/eFootball have been having different player models since many years now. Im not asking for player faces/scans or precise hair styles. Just to see different player heights and builds being reflected in the match engine as it will also add much more realism and variety to the game! This would be huge! Thank you for considering!

I have raised quite a big amount of 'issues' in the bug tracker for FM24 under the Research & Database section i must say, and some issues are quite concerning because they are important. Im talking about player heights being way off even from players at top clubs like Chelsea FC, declared nationalities for several players not being updated (Arbnor Muja, Rocky Bushiri, Joris Kayembe, etc.) player's playing positions missing, even Romeo Lavia missing his Belgium debut from March! According to a post from FM the game has like 1500 researchers or something.. so why cant those who are responsable to scout/follow x club in real life check once a year before the release of a new FM on player heights and information accuracy? And i even wonder if some update the player attributes of their team at all, because many players in real life known for certain specialities are lacking those specialities in FM while other players are overrated. I understand not every club or country has researchers, but Romeo Lavia lacking his Belgium debut from March is a big mistake (who is responsable for Belgium NT and the Belgian Leagues, watching and following those leagues!?) and player heights being wrong in big clubs like Chelsea (Madueke for example) & Man City (Palmer before he joined Chelsea) is just inacceptable. Yet i dont get a free copy of FM for raising all the research and database 'issues', do i. Those who took the responsability as a researcher and head researcher for FM need to do their job right, and if they cant do it properly or dont have the time, they should leave it to someone capable.

As the title says. There are currently not enough defensive player animations, like blocks (blocking a potential shot or blocking a distance shot), a bigger variety of tackles, air duels and (slightly) pushing that comes with that battle before jumping aswell as slightly pushing eachother when trying to block a rival player to head at set pieces. We need more animations overall. Thank you

All leagues and nations except Hong Kong, Gibraltar, India, Malaysia, ..
