SI had a public beta running previously. Many people didn't use it and the ones who did used it mostly for early access to updates rather than actually doing any beta testing, completely negating the point of a beta.

It's all good, we've all got different risk thresholds

Corporate environment is very different though, you wouldn't be running the consumer version of Defender in there because you need greater defence in depth, a higher efficacy rate and something that can be deployed and managed remotely at scale. Go back a few years and I agree, Defender was a joke but it's got a lot better. It's far from perfect but it does decent enough job these days. The average person for home use doesn't need anything too complex, the three main problems are phishing, downloading infected files and drive-by downloads from ads. The consumer version of Defender, an ad-blocker and the built-in capabilities in Edge/Chrome/Outlook protect you from a significant portion of those things. The main focus of threat actors against home users is for data and account access because they're less likely to get a decent payoff from ransomware compared to targeting a business. It doesn't hurt to add more layers to your defences of course but for a lot of people it's overkill.

Or maybe some of us have years of experience in IT and InfoSec and know where the main source of threats are, what's appropriate to protect against them and how the industry is currently working

Those 15 year olds will turn 16 by 31/8/2023 which is the cut off as that's when the UK school year officially ends and that's what the FA uses for it's age brackets. Anyone who turns 16 on or after 1/9/2023 will still be at school and for UK child protection reasons can't be included in the game.

Woodford is too young to be included, he's still a schoolboy. It'll be next FM25 before he can be added to the game.

Windows Defender and add the UBlock Origin extension to your web browser. You don't really need more than that these days as it'll catch the most common nasty things between them. If for whatever reason something does get through, the free version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is great for removing things. McAfee, Norton, Symantec etc are dinosaur products that are barely fit for purpose these days and you're wasting your money buying them. The security industry is slowly moving away from the traditional anti-virus style products.

It's due to licensing reasons unfortunately.

I think the point about goal totals has been well and truly made, many many pages ago. Can we now move on from it please so that other people can leave feedback without it being lost in pages of chat about it? Take it to PMs if you want to discuss it further. Thanks.

Changes to the database and competition rules require a new game. Other changes such as match engine tweaks are save-game compatible.

Database updates will require a new save.

Fix released for the "Not being able to upload to Steam Workshop" issue.

The official purchase locations did tbf, this is on the Steam store page: If you bought from somewhere like CD Keys which isn't an SI official vendor then they may not have displayed it.

It does work for Mac, it's a graphical issue with Steam, the Mac logo is missing.

Cut the personal attacks, if it carries on you'll be removed from the thread.

There's a known issue with the pre-game editor not appearing to be available on GamePass, it's being looked into.

Can we take that conversation elsewhere please, it's dragging on now and this thread is for feedback.

There are still some ongoing licensing issues, yes.

Add a "Come Short" instruction to a player, it should cut down the number of times this happens. Is a known issue though.

That's definitely an upside at times We do read the threads though and step in where needed if people overstep the mark to try and keep the thread useful for SI.

Can't discuss this sort of thing on here I'm afraid as it involves unlicensed content. Google is your friend.

For some reason on Man Utd, you can see the U21 Manager Travis Binnion, but not the U18s Manager Adam Lawrence

There's a big difference between constructive feedback on things you don't like and abuse/throwing your dummy out. Unfortunately people tend to veer too far towards the latter.
