Popping back in to say I really appreciate the new scouting system. Little bit of a slow start but now I am getting so many results with low salary scouts I've had to tighten my guidelines. The recruiting focus versus individual scout instructions was confusing early but once I figured it out, it works much better. I don't at all understand the "assign an analyst" part, but that hasn't seemed to hamper things.
Picked a club with a Board and Supporters demanding high press, attacking football. My next save/job will certainly be a club where it isn't required. I really enjoy mid and low block play and want to do more of that. Probably just my imagination, but I actually like the idea in this game you could add in a bunch of tall, strong defenders and really dominate games lower league physically and aim for a 1-0 win. In FM22, I don't know if low block was broken or high pressing was so overpowered, but I didn't feel comfortable playing defensive football even with a lead.
Will the late patch on player development affect current saves? I started my current one like a day after it posted. I am not worried about database improvements, but it looks like the devs cleaned up some serious player development issues.
