Mystifying that they didn't put the league in.
Probably a license thing.
Wouldn't have had time to research it either. Maybe next year. I fired this up and noticed Gibraltar is in, there's the ultimate sicko save. Not for me alas as I have a full time job.
It was only when one of our released players signed for a club there last week did I find out that Gibraltar has an entire league where every game is played in the same stadium. That's a value for money season ticket.
Players get unhappy all the time is still a thing. Salah was unhappy because I sold Matip (for $35m)... I told him we were fine. All my squad were then unhappy at my treatment of Salah. Seriously, fuck off.
When’s the full version out?
Next year.
The annoying thing about this shit is that the game is just inherently too easy, and they probably did need to add things to make it more of a challenge, but the cack-handed implementation of stuff like this just feels so artificial, and rather than making it harder it just makes it fucking tedious. I wouldn't mind it if it made sense, but after however many years it's so broken. Useless wankers.Quote:

The only bug I've noticed is that when I get to 23rd August the game immediately cuts out entirely, tried holidaying past it but does the same thing. Would start a new game but I'm hesitant to if this is something that can happen, so now I'm going to leave it until it updates to the full version and see if it lets me proceed. If it's still fucked, the world will never know how Sunderland (H) would have gone, although it can't have been more dull than the 0-0 in real life.
Wasn't that in previously? Either way and now you mention it I'm hankering to give that a go.Quote:

I’ve not had it and was able to reject bids of £110m for Marcos Leandro. (Sign him)
Two questions from me. How is the match engine looking? Do AI teams now build coherent squads?
I've played about 8 games and the match engine seemed decent.
I only play 2D classic but even with them you can tell the engine is much better.
As has been mentioned before this seems like the game is in a far better state than it usually is at this stage. It seems like a fair few QoL style changes/updates as well as a few nicer animations. The ball looks like it travels more naturally etc.
I believe the prize money also scales a fair bit better this year too. For example, if you did make the Gibraltar league up to be like the number 1 in the world rankings, you'd be bringing in the premier league style prize money.
Funny that Miles wants everyone to say they're using the early release or whatever, when the game literally says BETA VERSION in the bottom corner.
That's the exception to be fair: we're quite an exciting side these days, partly due to not being able to defend.Quote:

Genuinely can't lose this season. 3-1 in CL semi final with 20 mins left and win 5-3. My two tactics are pretty great to be fair.
What's Bellingham like in FM24?
Probably not as good as he’ll be in the January update.

Being able to get money from Saudi's and also getting mega players on loan makes this quite easy. Might try a save with Bilbao
An unbeaten season with West Ham in year three is a bit worrying. Are you always this successful?
West Ham by name only. Tchouameni, Upamecano, Xavi Simons, Vitinha and Frimpong all in on loan. Never mind Endrick, Theo Hernandez and Wirtz on the bench. Saudi clubs buying gimps like Edson Alvarez for £50m has broken the game
Those loans are insane.

He even managed to score an own goal a minute earlier.

Fuck all money so it was mainly loans from me when I took over.

Going into the season the board and media thought we were a mid-table side and we showed them that we're not. We led for most of the season but we completely collapsed in February and didn't even get a promotion playoff. Really gutting as we were 6 points ahead of the league at the end of January and looking really good for the title.

Got so excited when we scored the first and then a potential second which was ruled out. Really good fight from us but it was tough to take the late loss.

Really disappointed with my strikers. My original (Sulejmani) was crap so I brought Tezgel in during January and he started on fire with 4 goals in his first 2 games but then he went missing.
Really could have done with promotion due to our finances (we owe £53m although most of that isn't payable until we hit the Bundesliga) but alas.
Keep the updates coming!
I've been wildly inconsistent. Best Forest 11-0, then next game beaten 1-2 away to Villa. I also keep forgetting the sub out Kelleher after cup games :D
14 goals in 63 games for my VfB Oldenburg side and that's in the third division. Sent him packing to Turkey for £250k (Sulejmani that is). A few strikers I'm currently having success with:Quote:

I'll give them a scout, cheers.
My current first choice striker is Lorenz Knoferl who was produced at the club in 2018/19. 2 in 3 so far to start the season off but I'm trying to find someone better.
I wanted this lad:

But he rejected £10k a week (rising to £11k) from us as he wanted £12.75k. So it's lovely to see he went to Bordeaux for £4.4k.
Never change FM.
In fairness it is Bundesliga 2 vs Ligue 1 (I am assuming). Classic FM is people choosing lower clubs for lower wages (which, I am certain, will in fact never change).
Bundesliga 3 v Ligue 2.
I've managed to bring this lad in on loan though:

New tactic, stupidly effective:

Not bad. Defending was a mess similar to first season at West Ham. XG table had me 10 goals over for conceding which is annoying as the 'keeper is literally the best player at the club.Quote:

Now to try and steal some Sociedad players.

I almost pulled out of the deal for this kid (I delayed it once or twice) but decided to pull the trigger and he's been amazing:
https://i.imgur.com/X9EsEsR.png
£90k only and he's been our best performer by far. Really well rounded and my coaches say he'd be a good Bundesliga 2 player.
Always knew you were a sell-out.
Wouldn't that email be more accurately titled Joel and Avram count the money?
And now he's unhappy because I didn't buy more goalkeepers, despite having Alisson and Kelleher... and I signed two new keepers just to shut him up. Stupid cunt.Quote:

Yeah, that part is annoying as fuck. Then have to suck them all off at any opportunity to try get the atmosphere back to good
I putting on the knee pads as we speak.
FM24 is easy. THREE hat-tricks. :drool:

Speaking of, I've now had my keeper get injured twice now.
Straight down the middle. Always keep them guessing.
The injuries are pretty fucking annoying. Nico Williams has been injured 4 different times this season for weeks on end. I barely even play the cunt compared to other players to try ease him in but without fail he picks up another injury.
