Football Manager 2024 Official Feedback Thread
Phil930 replied to Kyle Brown's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
I thought this also after two weeks of early access, with 4-6 players continuously out. Then I remembered I support Chelsea and they average 7-10 players out IRL, so I'm ahead! Please don't up the injuries in game though, they are common enough to be in-game frustrating, but not over the top. -
The Official Unoffical Older FM's Thread!
Phil930 replied to MorrisseyMuse's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
Has to be CM 01/02 for me, which came out during my first year of uni away from home, network games across the dorm were classic. The game was epic, and at a point in life where had so much free time to study, or rather, play CM! I still look back to Italia Manger 1993 which was my intro to the series. A solid 1-0-5-5 formation banged in the goals, and with a friend we could complete a season one afternoon. -

Small sample, only about 7 games in. I use key highlights, and I don’t recall a keeper making a proper save for either side. It’s either a goal, missed target shot, or keeper catches a high ball from floaty header. No one on ones or on target shots saved -
Taken a while to get going, but finally started advanced access with Chelsea. Squad is interesting and no surprise mirrors the real world with a real issue in striker position. I'm going to try a 4-3-3 with Lavia, Caicedo and Enzo in midfield given the options up top are not as strong. Can post more detail down the road, but to start, the annual transfer commitments and deficit are not small!! This could be a tricky one to dig out of, but will sell some players and continue the model of buying youth - they seem to do better from Brazil in FM than real life! Check out the transfer out/in commitments, excluding any other performance/game time related clauses. This is just straight annual cash payments

[FM24][SKIN] WTCS Gold v1.3.1 Released 08/04/2024
Phil930 replied to TCSSkin's topic in Skinning Hideout
Basic question, but when customizing panels in screens such as Home or Player Overview, the selected panels don't seem to save (i.e., when going elsewhere, then coming back, its back to default or repeated panels such as PLANS appearing numerous times in Overview). Is there some simple was to save a panel setup that I am missing? To expand on this, different players have different panels showing. Some repeat PLANS, click on another player and they'll show FITNESS and FORM, etc. -
English Premier Division Data [Discussion]
Phil930 commented on Kyle Brown's issue in England Premier Division Data Issues
Appreciate this will be classified as a somewhat subjective perspective, but are Arsenal a little over powered this year? Without giving away individual PAs, but they have a healthy number >179, many of which still have 10-15+ points of development available. I don't doubt they are a great side, but for a team yet to win anything this feels a little generous in many places. This is largely the same group of players that finished 8th, 5th, and then 2nd last year after a very strong first 28 games, then really dropped off. Sure they've got some stars, but just think this needs a little balancing with respect to other clubs (be it Liverpool, City, Chelsea, Newcastle or United younger players). If I was to suggest specific players for review, I'd encourage keeping an eye on Jesus, Havertz and Martinelli. -

Looks great so far - nice work SI team!! The general interface is cleaner/sharper, and like others have said, the colour palette is an improvement this year! Some great new features also, particularly the intermediarys! I'm biased here, but did the Arsenal researcher drink the kool-aid a little too much? The team is yet to win, and had a great first 28 games last year and fell off a cliff. I won't give any PAs away, but they are a little generous - I mean, is Havertz really better than when he was at Chelsea with a first touch of 20? I can raise this in the data forums. -

This happens every year to me, but can anyone remind me how you import an existing profile/avatar? Last few times I've just copied in my character from previous games
