So I play since pretty much the 90's when it was still called Championship manager and some things have hardly ever improved over the years.
I don't play short saves and don't do big clubs, I start in a lower league. I play long saves (20+ years).
- AI Squad building. Over time the AI can't make the right decisions and all competition seems to dissapear.
Winning Champions League Final with 5-0 is no fun.
Also watching some of the transfers going on, it's just very stupid.
I also feel that the overal quality of all the teams seem to decrease over time.
Anyway, some hard work needed here.in this area, for many years now.
- International Management feels shallow.
When a team loses some of there key players, or the next generation is poor compared to previous years the board still expects you to reach the same goals.
There is also no discussion in this, expectations vs reality.
Also if the goal is to reach the semi final and you dominate every game, win by big margins and reach the quarter. In the quarter you lose very unlucky, although also dominated the match, you still get fired because you did'nt reach the goal.
This is also unrealistic and there should be talks before ending contract.
Also it seems impossible to ever return to a job (even 10 years later) if you got fired once before. No matter how many titles you have won since and still hold best internation records with the corresponding country. They always pick someone else, even with poor records.
- Social media in game.
Use ChatGPT or something similar for this to make it much more dynamic and real instead of reading the same messages over and over again.
- UI obviously needed to improve years ago, finally we are going to see something completely new with FM25. Looking forward to it.
Hopefully the GUI will look and feel more like a game than before.
What did improve a lot is the match engine. I hope they kept it somehow in Unity, because for this was the strongest point of the game the last years.
I've seen goals and incidents that looked like real football.
Maybe people can add stuff I forgot
