It's not as good as the old days where you could just use a tactic and it would be a guaranteed winner. Tactics that work for City don't work for Boro as well because the players aren't good enough. It also takes time for players to become familiar with a tactic so you don't get instant results and if one works then the opposition do work it out over time so you have to switch it up every season.I thought plug and play wasn’t meant to be good due to ai being able to counter somewhat
This can be infuriating! I'm about 8 or 9 seasons in now, and have won a lot, so I can tell them to do one and they back down, but the first 4 or 5 seasons before I was winning things I lost plenty of players through paddy's that just wouldn't happen IRL.I find FM24 is just constantly being in meetings with players complaining because someone rubbish is complaining about being treated badly because they aren't getting enough playing time. None of the responses appease them and your form suffers because they are always unhappy. That's tedious. It makes sense you would have a load of unhappy players if you aren't winning but it happens when you are winning as well and I don't think it's realistic that players are complaining about the 3rd choice left back not getting enough playing time when you are top of the league.
I play CM and FM more like a Director of Football than an in-game manager. Signing players and watching them develop is the bit I enjoy. I prefer the text based version. I don't want to make subs and adjust things in game. I definitely don't want to watch it in real time. If I was doing that I'd just play FIFA. I have an add-in for FM24 so I can get an instant result. I pick the team and the tactics and the computer does the rest.
You can cut back on a lot of the game with training, media etc by just handing over to the assistant, but the best part of the game is just how in depth it all is. Really sets it apart from similar games and stops it getting boring too quicklyAgreed, the games are far too complicated now.
It was great for being text based. Like being a kid and only seeing the score updates on Ceefax. The sense of not knowing is what makes it addicting.I really don't understand people playing 01/02. It's text based isn't it? Rubbish! You can't even see what's going on. Even the old school football manager from the 80s had little stick men kicking the ball about. Each to their own I suppose.
TBH the first thing you do when starting the new game is make your assistant manager do everything apart from picking the team and transfers. The only really annoying thing is having to deal with players moaning and that's just every now and then.
You can download a killer tactic and take a League 2 side to mid-table prem within 6 or 7 seasons and the Prem title within 10 seasons. It possibly is seen as cheating, but those tactics are out there is you look around and then focus your recruitment on good young players who fit into that tactic.It's not as good as the old days where you could just use a tactic and it would be a guaranteed winner.

What has been the issue do you know?Sports Interactive released a press release at 02:30 this morning confirming that the game has been cancelled.
I started a new save the other day on FM24 in the create a club section.
This is pretty much how I used to like to play the game. I played FM10 for an obscene amount of hours because of the genie scout add on tool thing that you used to be able to get.I find FM24 is just constantly being in meetings with players complaining because someone rubbish is complaining about being treated badly because they aren't getting enough playing time.
