is it a graphics issue or will it financially impact Arsenal?

Just finished the first season with a new update (which had us in the CWC which I deliberately threw. I decided to play a 4-3-3 with two of Havertz/Odegaard/ESR in the midfield in front of Rice as the DM. Successful first season, the tactic had us scoring for fun. Corners are absolutely broken on this game, Gabriel and Saliba scored for fun. Trossard was a revelation as DLF, as was ESR as the left sided mezzala. Both deputised fantastically when Jesus and Havertz picked up injuries. Nelson, Tierney, Nketiah and Turner are definitely leaving in this window and I'm fine with selling any of Jorginho, Vieira and Tomiyasu for the right price. Need a winger, tempted to buy more of a project type like Neto than an expensive superstar. Gavi seems quite cheap too so I could get him, but I don't really have a spot for him.

I didn't say I had "questions" I said that I "question" their plans. There is a difference between the two. If FM24 is good, then fair play. I don't think it will be based on my experience of 23. That's all. You are looking far too much into this

what?

I'm not going to take their word for it, particularly with how disappointing FM23 is. I have no intention of buying the BETA and that would be the first time in a long time I haven't, I might even wait for a demo. I'm sure I'm not alone in that either.

Well I have posted a fair bit in the bugs forum and I didn't feel like it was looked into all that much (responses were not particularly prompt either). I also think it's completely fair to question how much will be fixed in 24 when they were ripping it up for 25 anyway

I'm somewhat less thrilled at this. FM24 is probably going to be an even worse FM23 (which was the worst FM of the series) Not overly convinced FM24 will be worth purchasing and I'm confident that bugs won't be looked at (I felt bugs were not taken seriously on this FM fwiw)

No women's football until 25 is really disappointing. Nice of SI to finally acknowledge that 23 was so poor, but it has put me off buying 24 if I'm honest

Posted this elsewhere but this game needs some massive adjustments. There's very little longevity in a game that is built on longevity.

SI aren't accepting new ME bugs btw

I'm finding this game a real chore to play, which is a shame as it's nice to finally have a good Arsenal team, but it's just not fun to play at all.

This game will never be the game I want it to be. I can win easily, it's not an issue with that, but it's just not a fun game. I'm finding the match rating issue a real problem for my enjoyment, plus I'm just having issues getting my striker involved. There's too many penalties in this game and scoring from set pieces is far too easy. Player interactions are a mess and the AI's squad building is the worst it's ever been. Really hope FM 24 is a good game. I enjoyed 22, so this title feels like a huge step back

right, but what I'm saying is that I don't set out to play long to my forwards. I go out of my way to keep the ball on the floor as much as possible. There was a bug pre patch where too many headers were contested, I'm still seeing this (albeit not as much as before). I don't see the same level of headers in the ME as I do in the stats, so I'm asking if it's possible to rule out it still being a bug. I have at times noticed aimless long balls from both my team and the AI, so I am leaning more towards it being a bug that wasn't fully fixed.

Match ratings are important though, so having what seems like a bug negatively impact them is an annoyance. So not a "waste of time".

I'd like to know if it's possible for an attack to get through a run of games without failing to win multiple headers, which impacts their match rating.

Anybody? I've experimented by going quite extreme in terms of short passing, but still my forwards will get 6.3s for not being able to win multiple headers

Why is the Club World Cup still a massive mess? Are FIFA really going to play a tournament where the best sides have players away on international duty? Will teams really not train at all during it? Why does every competition allow 5 subs apart from this one?

This game is really dead isn't it? Just nothing

Has anyone managed to get small forwards to get good ratings or is this another dreadful "quirk"? Am I doomed to seeing my smaller team get penalised because "headers won" is broken as well as the actual heading stats (which was meant to have been fixed in the latest update)?

Last one

Disappointing but not unexpected. Only the addition of women's football will make me consider buying FM24

So many bugs. Match ratings are a mess and should have been revamped years ago. They just don't work, which means the game doesn't work as it should. Headers won is by far the most important stat for player ratings - so small forwards get poor ratings. I'm seeing forwards with 15-20 goals with a 6.7 overall rating. There are far too many penalties given and they are given for reasons that are unclear. The animations are awful and my bug posts have been ignored so there's no point in posting them. Also players just don't move clubs. Big clubs seem to have largely the same players years into the game.

Am I wasting my time? I've got so many more penalties to post, but if it's going to be ignored then what's the point?
