    A very solid start to the season, although we were shockingly poor against Bristol Rovers, only scoring through a fluke of an own goal.

    We are among the early leaders, but it's very early doors.

    I was quite busy in the transfer market. It is the first time ever in all my years of playing FM that I have signed multiple goalkeepers, but the squad lacked any depth in that department. I also didn't think I was still going to sign players that are older than me, but Lonners is the ideal backup option.

    The money for the transfers came in part from clubs coming in and buying two of my better players. Both of them started to get upset when I refused initial offers, so I had little choice but to let them leave.

  2. Yorkshire. The biggest of the 39 historical counties of England. It is also probably the most proud. I have only been living here since last year but the locals quickly accepted me as one of them and I already love the way of life up here.

    I have after some debate downloaded FM24 and decided that my save will be a journeyman with one simple rule : I can only manage clubs located in historical Yorkshire. That still gives me quite a few!

    I used the 'pick a team for me' button until a Yorkshire club came up. I will be starting at Barnsley. This happens to also be the closest playable team to my real location. I wouldn't even need to move house!

  3. I am on the verge of once again jacking FM in until the next version due to the blatant scripting and clear favouring of the AI team over my own in the ME. I just can't accept things like a 2-1 loss, with the AI getting only two CHANCES, let alone shots on target, all game. Or Benzema getting a bad injury right before the last game of the season.

    These aren't due to bad management...I am tired of the constant crap as the game seeks to write a narrative.

    It is interesting that in 2022. people have to share videos of IF cutting inside as a proof that cutting inside happens, which should be a must for a football game that has an 2D/3D engine for almost 20 years now. 

    This is CM4.

    I know that 2d isn't the 'prime' mode anymore..but is it really that different from now? CM4 was 2003.

  5. Whilst I agree with the idea that the records page should show records for the entire history of a country's top flight, for example correctly showing Dixie Dean's 60 goals as the record for goals in a league season in England, it is at the same time a little odd that the likes of Preston, Sheffield Wednesday and Huddersfield are shown as former champions of the Premier League. It's the same in other countries, too, such as pre-Bundesliga German champions listed as previous winners of the Bundesliga.

    I suggest that some kind of feature be implemented where winners of a previous version of a competition are shown as having won that - so Preston would be shown as 'First Division' champions. Quite how you'd do this without creating separate (defunct) competitions is something that we'd need to figure out.

  6. With a pathetic transfer budget given (£10m) after winning La Liga in Season 1 with Villareal, I didn't ask for more as I felt my squad was good enough. However, on deadline day I find a bargain at  £19m, so I asked the board for more transfer money. I have since had my first Champions League payout. Previously this immediately called a meeting with the board.

    I have been waiting for the whole day for the board to get back to me.

    It is totally inconceivable that the board would not get back to the  manager of a La Liga side, when this is deadline day. 

    This shows this new 'feature' where the board no longer immediately respond to have been poorly implemented at the very least.
