Football Manager Series

I will post some screenshots of the mods next time I upload.

But the main updates which happen will most likely when kits start being released.

Data updates I will release every Monday till the end of the transfer window or when Arsenal sign a striker which ever comes latest.
 
FM24 is now ruined for me..
The "Diablo" formation was released a month or so ago and gave it a try.

Nice:
5 x Ligue 1 winners
4 x Champions League Winners
Unbeaten in the league for 3 and a half seasons
Complete immortal season only drawing 2 games - 100Points, +140GD
Joined Man Utd as they just finished low down in Prem and won Prem, FA Cup, CC, Europa Conference League - Losing just 3 games all season.
Can you share a link? Is it really the case - even with massively weaker teams than others? Shouldn't be possible to that amount. Do we know if it's the tactics or settings?

I'm in Sampdoria in an old save... Being the 2nd weakest team in the league. Could be curious.

I did some test and what disappointed me was how overpowered certain stats and certain formation were. It absolutely overrides any mental stats. So you can just pick a very fast team(who probably is projected to finish 10th in the league) and win the league in the first year with the diablo formation.

Still haven't seen the actual tactic. Can you share?

As a game defined by stats it's really weird for me that a specific instruction, style and tactic can be so overpowered

I personally suggest not to use it but I just wanted to test it out. To be honest though, every football manager I can think about have had an abuseable tactic. It's because they emphasis tactics too much and doesn't influence morale or player attributes as much as tactics.

Thanks. Chose to see the video instead of trying the tactic. No fun in that - really don't understand why people are playing a game without getting challenged...

I believe most of the abuse-able tactics every year can easily be stopped by making stamina, fatigue, and injuries work in a more realistic manner.
 
Two years of working on a new gameplay.. no footage in game from it..
Yeah, it's getting scary now (again).

The closed beta of "SEGA Football Club Champions 2025" goes live tomorrow - weirdly, from 7am to 9am (UK time) and then nothing else is scheduled...

Either way, considering that it's "based on Football Manager" (and it's not the old one from what I can tell), it could be a clue to what the new match engine will look like - even though the game itself is essentially Ultimate Team Manager (TM).

You can see the match engine at the end of this teaser trailer, and...


Well, it's an upgrade over stick-men, but when your stick-men score you don't see anything that makes you go "that looks nothing like Phil Foden" and so nothing takes you out of the experience.

Whereas these faces, if Football Manager has them too - you can't help but think "that's obviously not Phil Foden" every time you see them...

So I played the beta of "SEGA Football Club Champions 2025" - footage below - and there's no way the match engine is from Football Manager, because it doesn't simulate 90 minutes, but rather 5 minutes.

It must just be the team/player data that's shared. There's a chance that the graphics are the same but I hope not.

Wow looks horrible.
