G81

I used to be financially wealthy, I now live a modest life (not on PIP, don't fancy explaining the finer nuances of neurodiversity to a dental hygienist on her day off), now I'm rich in life - good friends, good family, good place mentally. It's all good.

I went the other route - finance. Though I've been unable to work now for around 15yrs. Least you know when I recognise a pattern of behaviour, I'm likely right!!

I believe the only club with a link to an Egyptian club is Villa. I used the three championship examples (a) because I've actually signed said players, and (b) because all 3 have no overseas affiliations, least of all with the rather random nations in question. It is, however something I've noticed across the game - teams overseas in particular seem to get a wide range of regen nationalities. I've played around 40 seasons total, and never had a non-domestic regen, and never had a dual-nationality player (which as referenced above, seem to happen routinely elsewhere). Being neurodiverse, these kinds of patterns in gameplay kind of jump out at me.

I'm sure it may have been bought up before, either that or I'm the only person bothered by this bug: How come the regeneration AI gives non-player teams regeneration from random countries (I recently signed a 5* Egyptian from Cardiff, a 4.5* Uruguayan from Preston, and 2x 4.5* Chileans from Birmingham!!!!), yet the player operated team only seems to get domestic youth players (not even dual nationality, which again appear to be sll over the place in the non-player operated teams)?

I don't understand why, it's a complete pita on multiple levels: • every month I have to go through every day trying to find a half decent friendly to keep them busy, this is rather time consuming. • teams seem to put in fewer loan offers. • players in the reserves as back up seem to develop somewhat slower playing friendlies than they do playing in the usual league. Regardless, I've since won La Liga, my reserves still have no reserves league, I even tried bumping up their reputation to see if it would help get them an invite into the Spanish senior pyramid given I'm now a "big club". Nothing. It's worth noting that a player has raised this exact issue with the main game in that discussion forum too, so it seems to be across all formats. In terms of the final comment, Netflix has a finite amount of content that any given person is interested in. While I enjoy FM and have some for 25+ years, once I'm at the end of what I want to watch I can't really justify continuing to pay £60pa for a game that is broken for the way I like to play (starting from the bottom) - and that's ignoring the myriad of other teething issues there've been with the FM/Netflix collaboration this season. I understand things slip the net, but in my other games reserve teams have changed leagues seamlessly as I move up the pyramid (for instance the Tamworth game I lost when I switched phones) - it seems to only be an issue when your chosen team's reserves start without a league

Same issue in my Spanish League game on mobile - picked a small fourth tier team not realising their B team weren't in a recognised reserves league. Am now in my first season in La Liga, currently second, and I still have to arrange friendlies throughout the season (they're destroying 4* teams). It's frustrating, even more so since no-one appears to have an answer or a solution.

Now in La Liga. my reserves are still not even in a reserve league, this is ridiculous. Can't believe this issue hadn't come up before, or that no-one seems to know for certain if it will resolve itself. I was looking forward to playing this year, but the consistent issues throughout this year's title's existence are killing it for me. the first side of things (disappearing games earlier in the year which cost me two careers, the unnecessarily complicated process of transferring an existing game to a new phone that in itself doesn't seem to work in my experience) can be fixed quite easily by Netflix joining the real world and providing some sort of backup facility for players (a necessity if their move into gaming is a long-term consideration). However, gaps/bugs like this is on SI, and while I get that work is ongoing for the 25 edition, essentially downing tools on 24 halfway through its lifetime is unacceptable. FM was part of my consideration in deciding which streamer to use this year or even long-term, though presently once I've watched the stuff that inherently interests me I doubt I'll go hunting for new programmes, I'll likely just move streamers and forgo FM, and I doubt I'm alone in that within the current player base unless significant improvements are made.

Bump. Any chance of a response to this????? SOMEONE must know!

Bumping till I get a response.

Seriously, I thought this would be a straightforward query! A week and no response.

To be honest, it's not even letting me on the import screen now. This needs sorting for next year. It should not be such a pita to carry a game across phones, especially when it could be rectified by Netflix taking their inroads into the gaming provision sector seriously and facilitating cloud saves or an equivalent.

No-one?

Due to losing my save and the slow process on trying to get it back - see thread 'new phone', I started a game with the smallest team in spain. Understandably (perhaps), upon starting the game, their B team were not in any competitive league. However, two promotions later I'm now in the Secunda and thry still aren't even in a reserve league - surely this would change as the profile / division of the senior team does? So, will I ever get my B team put in a reserves league (at least), or do I bin this save off and restart with a team who's reserves get games - as arranging constant friendlies against rubbish teams is hampering my ability to produce a conveyor belt of talent due to them developing far slower as a result of the above.

Been a week since I got a response to this?

It's a brand new Samsung A55, model hasn't been out long I believe. Android 14 (obviously).

Further to the above, went into permissions, I don't see the one you've outlined. Screenshot added. I can't turn any on though.

I'll have a look. Will update. In the interim, a side issue - I've started a game in Spain with the smallest team in the league. I've noticed that their reserves aren't in any reserves league, even after a promotion - will this be a permanent issue or will they eventually enter one, as its hampering my ability to develop players outside of my first team (I dont seem to get any loan offers either)

Having looked, it appears no permissions are active. Can you confirm which permissions should be turned on?

Nope. Got new phone, went to import, found the files, hit import, seemed like it was doing it but nothing appeared. Now says there's no exported filed to import (as above) preventing me from doing again despite the files still being in the folder I shared from my old phone. This needs rectifying by netflix so that there is a cloud save that they hold.

This has been rendered somewhat moot for a week or so, new phone is faulty so am back on old phone waiting for a replacement.

Import page

Greyed out files.

I exported from my other phone then used quick share to send to new phone. However, game is saying there's no games to import when I go to the import screen. The (three) files it exported are greyed out if that helps?

I have a new phone coming tomorrow. Both my new and old phones are Samsungs (new one is an s23 fe). Can I transfer my save to my new phone, if so how.

No worries. Am holding off going further for now.
