Football Manager Series

The games are only getting more complex. It's easier to add features that have been around for 20 years lol.
I'm sticking with Championship Manager 2007 & 2008. Fortunately, this feature is not available in these parts, haha.
 
I was AI command on the menu when selecting lineup, will it suggest the lineup instead of the quick selection button ?
 
I hope they will improve the role of Sport/ director. It's part of system in a club.

Clubs outside UK, the SD has more influence that a coach-mnager in the english football.

Years ago I decided to play the game and delegate more tasks to the SD and focus more on genral and individual trainings and tactics).

I don't give the Director of Football anything to do - it's totally pointless for me - but I hire one simply to stop the staff at the staff meetings recommending three different DoFs to hire every bloody week. Drives me insane.

I do.
I don't know if in real life a coach/manager choose the DoF of the club, but I hire one who has the same favorite tactic as mine. He sign/sell players and if he has a well knowledge outside the country it would help to sign unknown good young players. So I don't bother myself searching for players, he's paid to do that

I get why it exists and that some people use it, just saying - I wish you could tell the club / staff that you don't want to work with one, and stop their constant recommendation that you do. Especially when you're winning all your games. It's incredibly frustrating.

For me half the fun is finding those players yourself, but again, people play the game differently (in-fact, managers manage football clubs differently). :D
 

I can honestly say I've only ever managed international teams in network games with friends, so I'm quite lucky - but it's obviously a shame it's missing.

Miles has said previously that there's a lot of work that needs doing on the international side (to make it feel like more than a bolted-on experience), so I don't think it will be added until there's a lot more been done to it. I can't imagine it will be patched in at any point (not officially, anyway).

As for skins, given the UI is so different, I think that was always a given - although I've read they may be looking to patch in support for them. They seem to value the community and modding quite a bit, which is unusual in these heavily copyrighted times!
 
The concept of the game is inspired by club management, not on national team management.

It would be useless if they re-add the international management with the same ideas that were on the old "era".
 
I just hope the PC version hasn't been stripped at the benefit of the console version. I have a horrible feeling it's heading that way.

Always happens, FM going forward will be dumped down and most accessible for console gamers.
If FM24 didn't have the cheat tactics then I would continue to play it.
 
I have uploaded a new data update to the OneDrive which also includes a Face Update for new wonderkids.

Even after the new tactics system explainer, you think it's being dumbed down? Serious question.

Before that tactical reveal I could understand the fear, and maybe the match engine is still flawed - well, it will be, nothing's perfect. But they claim AI manager logic has improved around transfers etc. and I'm not getting a "dumbed down" vibe at all.
