Hi there, for my save I'm playing as Reading FC, After a very good season in League One, I entered an end-of-season team meeting, One of the promises that I made to the club was that I was going to give youth players spots in the first team (I can't remember the exact phrasing of the dialogue option but it's the promise "Play youth players": "Play young players under the age of 23 for the first team") I usually actively avoid taking on any promises when I play Football Manager but seeing as more than half of my team is under 23 anyway, and that my club objectives are to literally develop players using the club's youth system (and that this is the beta) I thought... why not? I fully intend to do this promise, what could go wrong? I haven't even entered the next season yet, the promise started on the 4th of May and was over by the 28th of May, the same year... during preseason where I literally couldn't book matches if I had wanted to haha, 5 of my key players are publicly mad at me for not keeping my promise xD Despite there currently being 7 players in my first team under 23 right now (with more on the way). Ofcourse, if you've been playing the game for a few years it's no secret to try to avoid promises like the plague... however, newcomers are probably going to do something like this and expect it to be a task you'll harmlessly do throughout the next season... when you can't fulfil the promise because of the allocated time is impossible to work with, then I can imagine it would frustrate a lot of people.

Hi there, this is my first report so apologies if I have put this in the wrong place... In my save I booked a friendly with Notts Forest, during the match their GK Vlachodimos gets injured in the 43rd minute and they bring on Shelvey, another GK. So far so normal, however, in the 52nd minute Shelvey also gets injured (probably worth highlighting that if that happened to me I would be fuming) and they don't have another GK on the bench. Where the bug/unusualness comes in is the behavior of the opposing manager after that. They kept making substitutes for the GK position: Vlachodimos for Shelvey - understandable subs given the injury Shelvey for Yates - understandable subs given the injury, non-GK player had to go on Yates for Omobamidele Omobamidele for Ola Aina Ola Aina for Serge Aurier Serge Aurier for Toffolo - Serge Aurier had 2 minutes on the field xD Toffolo for Boly Boly for Felipe Felipe for Larsson Larsson for Norkett I've attached a collection of screenshots from the dugout too. Obviously it's never great to end up in a position where the both of your GKs get injured but it seems like the opposing manager was caught in a loop of going, "Oh, we don't have a GK on the field, we'll bring someone on to fill the gap" only to realise that again they obviously didn't have a GK on the pitch a few moments later and repeating the same action again and again.
