[@VillaFanDan92]

The player conversations are the most unrealistic part of the game in my opinions. There's not a player in the world whose relationship with their manager has soured because their manager praised how well they'd been doing in training. Also, when you choose an option in a team talk - and the actual words that you manager said are something completely different with a totally different implication behind it. So you end up upsetting your team by being overly critical, when actually you were trying to tell them was something along the lines of "Not the best, but they were a tough opponent".

[@jacopobelbo1399]

i also want a response to players asking for more PT that is along the lines of "are you better than X player who is starting over you in your position?" (game does quick CA background comparison, if difference is more than 5 or 10 player f**ks off in shame)

This and the lads who go months without a club, but would rather retire than play for you - realistically, there should be a gradual increase in the scope of clubs they're willing to consider before they give up. Like, I'm sorry, a 23 year old released by Arsenal isn't going to decide he'd rather retire after being available for six months than play for Bromley.

[@OldLadyPlays]

Definitely like the ones suggested in the video. Promises especially. The promise I hate most is "I'll offer you a contract". Note it does not say "you will have a new contract that you will sign" - but that's how the player always treats it. If their agent is intransigent and simply refuses to budge on some crucial issue resulting in a breakdown of talks, then it's YOUR fault for promising them a contract. Mostly playing time - you get some squad player/backup who thinks he's everything, and he wants Star Player minutes. You say no, Squad Player is more reasonable. He says Star Player. You offer Regular Starter. He wants Star Player. By now he's impatient, so he soon gives up, and you've got a doubly-angry player because they took your promise as "an agreed contract" rather than "an offered contract". Very, very irritating. Also, with the women's game coming, international management is much more important. Women players still play far more internationals than men do, as the professional game develops in various countries. So I have some hopes that international management will be improved.

- I'd love to have the option to play as director of football and have the opportunity to recruit a head coach, and talk with him and the scouts about who to buy, build the squad together, and have real exchanges within the staff - Have something to do with your money like to improve your stats and a few other things - Have tactics efficiency not only depends on the game engine but also on how the different positions and roles you use go together. For example, a half back with a ball winning defender and a shadow striker shouldn't work no matter the engine, because it makes no sense. The tactis should really influence the game more and not just be a formation with an overpowered way to play the game - MAKE THE GAME HARDER or create several difficulty levels - Have the power dynamics change through time. Like Man City being left out by the UAI, France finally reaching their potential as a championship, Poland rising with time, La Liga performing less and less because Real and Barça were poorly managed, things like that. So that the clubs that dominate football don't remain the same bar a couple of ones after 20 years. I mean, 20 years ago AC Milan was on top of the world, Man Utd too, and now PSG, City or Atletico have gotten much better. - On a similar topic I wish nations' youth ratings would change over time, with countries investing over time like China is trying to become good at football. For example China could get better and better with time, and with their huge population become a big football nation, something like that.

My personal major dream for FM is to add more of the Dark Arts. I would love fights to break out, rivalries between players to flare up.

1. Press conferences 2. Player promises 3. Career progression. What i wanna touch on is career progression here since the other 2 are self explanatory. I really like what you point out in the video but i think having you doing other role would be a big no. Lot’s of people have asked and SI always says you are a manager and you cannot be someone else as well, so what im thinking of which is super easy too is that we can add our own history. Like as a background maybe we used to do coach or we used to be player for x club that would be nice for immersion. Because i hate that we need this weird progression that suddenly a random nobody become manager for like bayern or madrid it’s not realistic at all. And like even if you set reputation to world class player it pops a question which is, what player? You have 0 career stats yet you played international football? No immersion here.

I would love to see the youth intake have some love. It would be great to have the ability to build academies around the world, rather than just relying on satellite teams. Similar to how we can construct new stadiums or training grounds, we could build and improve academies, which would incur a maintenance fee. In return, this would enhance our youth intake instead of just waiting for our satellite teams to develop players for us. On the Squad Planner please allow us to filter the players on the shortlists, if you are a little like me and have over 300 players on the short lists you know what I'm talking about. Also it would be nice to be able to use the squad planner for the u23, u19 and B teams.

[@pedroandrade6380]

Hi! I have three things I would change in the game: 1. Make the game harder or at least have a harder mode. Loosing in this game can be very frustrating, but I’ve been playing since Championship Manager 2 and I feel it has become easier in the most recent editions. 2. Unrealistic power teams. England national squad, English teams in European competitions are way better than in reality (last season, only Aston Villa was in the semi-final of a European competition, and the in weakest one). Also, PSG (in my recent save it has won 5 champions league straight... that’s just ridiculous). On the other hand, Real Madrid is way undervalued. 3. Player reputation and Manager reputation is undervalued in peripheral teams. Ex: I’m in Rosenberg (Norway) in my save, have a Champions League final and several presences in the quarter-finals. Even though this is a top performance, my players transfer value is always low and I can’t get a job in another country, even in lower table teams, constantly being passed over by managers with far worse resumes.

[@Veaseify]

If you have been playing since Champ Manager 2 then point 3 has always been the same. League reputation doesn't move in line with the UEFA/FIFA coefficients in the game. Your 5 million valued players in Norway will instantly become worth 20 million if they get transferred to Spain or Italy, it has always been like that. Also it is really difficult to get a job in a foreign country if you don't have that nationality at the start of the game or your manager rep isn't in the top 30 or so in the world.

[@tutin4090]

I'd like to see more dynamic player personalities. Like players may not be in training due to a media commitment, appearing as a pundit whilst out injured, donating to their own charities...ways they can have unique connections with the supporters. Maybe they can even face scrutiny in the public for negative fan experiences.

On realistic transfers, I want rivalries fees revamp. I understand like Barcelona and Real Madrid not wanting to sell to each other BUT irl we saw Arsenal buy Havertz for basically the same amount that Chelsea did but in fm, you’d have to buy him for 3x the amount! A feature I want implemented into the in game editor is squad roles. I hate when I move a 16 yr old that has a great potential but isnt near that potential so in normal negotiations I’d have him at most a squad player, BUT when moving him over to the club with the editor, it automatically makes him a star player!

Small teams from small leagues aski way too much for 15 to 17 year old wonderkids, in real life if a team from a semi pro league received a bid for £ 2 million to £ 5 million with a sell on for one of these players, they would accept it as it would transform their entire club. But on FM, if you ask them to name a price, I have seen them ask for over £80 milliion and won't negotiate down for less than £30 million. I know the game is looking at PA and if they are generational base it on that, but that isn't how it works in real life.

I know it technically means something because higher wage will effect what clubs will approach you aso... Also the media interaction NEEDS to be improved! For instance: You have a player who's scored 2 goals he's dead tired and you sub him out you WILL 100% of the time be asked if he was angry with you for subbing him out and you're never able to respond "I didn't want to see him die from exhaustion on the field". Or If you criticise the refs you'll have 1 out of 3 events happen: 1. The opponent agrees with you and you'll have the same question "how does it feel that he agrees?" 2. The opponent will say "I don't wanna talk about it" and nothing happens 3. The opponent will disagree and you'll have to answer "how does that make you feel?"

I love to play in weaker nations or smaller clubs (and build them) and every single transfer window problem arises - I could have new Messi in polish club (for example), win Champions League few times in the row but value of player tops at not even half of it when someone like this is transferred to any of top countries (doesn't even have to best teams of it!). 3. Fluent country youth rating. If clubs are investing heavily in youth departments it should influence country youth rating much more than it does now. 4. More flexible positions.

So why this is not part of the scout report screen I have no clue. Also the number of A rated players who are rated highly because they are cheap is too much.

A similar proposal to the career progression element, I would like an option to have the standard FM manager option but also a realistic option. The realistic option would limit your control as a manager depending on the club values and your reputation. If you are of low reputation you would be a head coach with no input into transfers, possibly even not picking formation only player roles and team selection and training. This could have different levels as you progress, transfers, scouting, staff hiring then into finances etc effectively earning the right to control the club from top to bottom instead of having from the start. It may also stop the standard load game and set staff responsibilities as its fun to earn the right to manage aspects of it.

I have always wanted to have the game let me "save" some of my salary from each job each year (say you can set a percentage to live on vs save and those could relate to different "lifestyle" labels like Spartan/Normal/Lavish) to ostensibly build up enough of a warchest/cash to where you could buy a club and become owner/manager or just director. Of course you'd also have to have a mechanism to value and buy clubs where some owners are wanting to sell and others who don't can be convinced with a large enough bid. You could also use this "saved money" to do things others suggested like pay for your own coaching badges or to pay for trips to "study" with other/bigger clubs during offseason to boost your manager stats. I just like the idea of managing my way up the club sizes to where i'm at the top making 100k per week or more and then retiring to buy my own lower league club where i get to make all the decisions i used to have to "ask the board" about; like budgets and investing in infrastructure (and i guess you could decided to hire a coach or be the coach yourself which i'd choose).

And scouting of players in your squad pool. It’s not easy to see what players are in form and who aren’t when selecting a squad.

When you go from the non leagues to the top division some of your aspects of your club get left behind like we would be in the premier league and the reputation is still national with wage budget 10% of all the other clubs. I think when a blub progress way too quickly like 2 or 3 back to back promotion the game should make the progress also exponential instead of linear but again it would make the game too easy maybe there should be some nerfs if a club progress rapidly such players getting poached etc.

AI press conferences would be great as well. It’s always the same questions, but if you have proper AI asking questions it would make this much more interesting. Especially for the journalists who it says don’t like you, they should be able to ask difficult questions and press for answers

[@jonathanb1406]

Miles actually mentioned this in an interview recently. "There are people out there going, 'Why can't you just get generative AI to do the press conferences, to go through the game and come up with all the questions and then you answer them in whatever way you want to, and then [the in-game journalists and players] are going to react to that?' "That's something that generative AI is not capable of, and anyone who's ever used a chatbot will know that it's not capable of doing that, and would also go so ridiculously off-piste and be impossible to QA. And impossible to get signed off by legal. And impossible to get signed off by licencing. So we're not using it in this way."

[@armandoaragon575]

Agree! Player interaction and promises is a mess. A player plays a few good matches and they be asking for crazy stuff on the nee contracts. Now all of the sudden half of the team hates you for not agreeing to such terms with the agent. Or whats worse they get mad for not retaking conversation for their contract when they dont wanna talk about it😂

[@tonysquire]

Just took over Liverpool in a journeyman save 3 days after I got the Job 16 players saying they wanted to leave but didn't agree with Thier asking price. Why when you negotiate are the fees always higher. After a while all the players just drop the concerns and your morale just goes back up to what it was

[@JamieAubrey]

One thing I'd fix is the same with the views but in the Schedule tab, I use a custom view but half the time it will all reset and bunch all the info into one section, but if I click on it it all bounces back to the custom view

[@barrylassche2138]

Can they please add a more realistic youth setup with multiple teams and focus on traing/playing style think Ajax and Barça etc. Plus also do a more realistic financial system.

[@anirudha4176]

They've got to make the big clubs even bigger and powerful and saves with smaller clubs should be harder. For example, managing Brighton and challenging for the title in a season or two is very doable in current game. It shouldn't be that easy.

[@scottyh1238]

Biggest issue for me at times can be the transfer budget. Win the treble, have no debt and get given 12m budget.

[@emilienduvernois3280]

OMG the tweet of Arthur Ray, the best french FM creator a really nice guy

[@Journey22405]

Make player interactions ai based same with the media Would make it a lot more dynamic if you add additional comments in your presser and the media then ask a follow up to what you said. Would let you create drama with other managers and give you so much personality and should fix players hating you if you praise them for scoring a goal at 17 for Brazil. Other thing I’d change is letting me create my own managers history. Maybe he’s a young manager who before the age of 20 took over a few Sunday league or non league sides Maybe he’s a former balon dor winning player who won multiple ucls and went down as an all time great. Something like that would be a lot of fun.

[@gionapase1087]

The database re the A-League needs to be fixed. Promising youngsters aren't given CA or PA upgrades ie Jaiden Kucharski not getting an upgrade even between games. Regular starters are often sold due to low CA despite them being regular starters IRL ie Roderick Miranda MVFC's captain always being transfer listed. And positions being entirely wrong ie Ben Folami not having had his position changed from st to both sided winger since his move back to Australia from England

[@SuperMickyChow]

Wish we could build a new stadium, even if it's less then 20 years since your current one was built. Realistically, a club would sell existing ground/land to help finance a new one. In my save I am currently in a 23,500 capacity stadium that was only built 9 years ago. We have won the Europa League 4 times in those 9 years, along with the Carabao Cup, had two FA Cup finals (beaten both times, unfortunately) and as a result have 70,000 fans on the waiting list for season tickets. Im still constantly selling players to keep my head above water, but i still cant get a bigger stadium to maximise our revenues because of the arbitrary 20 year hidden rule in the game.

[@yahyataskn7904]

Those who've tried build a nation saves without editing the database first will understand this: Dynamic youth rating, league reputations and revenues. 20 years into a save, I've won 3 consecutive champions league titles, in total 7 times as Fenerbahçe, some other Turkish clubs have won UEL, made it to UCL semi finals multiple times etc. but the league reputation barely made it to 5th in Europe, we still have less revenue than French clubs, (not even talking about club owner's oil money, actual revenue like matchday income, tv deals). Since the league reputation isn't as high and there's less revenue, other Turkish clubs still can't sign better players and that reputation can't improve. As a result of all that my ballon d'or nominee CDM still wants to leave for "Man UFC" (who've not even won the league or UCL for decades) just because "they play in a better league".

[@Murtini2023]

I get why the promises aspect annoy people but I devised a little fix. Make EVERY player a fringe player. That way they never moan and you never make them promises.

[@kevyd4036]

I think they need to fix the way the AI interprets young players, particularly in Spain I signed Endrick from Real Madrid C It did cost £80m but an AI squad builder should have been viewing him as unsellable. I feel like part of it is because the game views RM C and Castilla almost as different from RM and the squad building gets detached

[@Bleachguy2023]

i would love to manage youth teams and work the way up if you do well can move up like start at U18s then U21s then can move to first team if job is vacant

[@Lightflames85]

financial control over ticket prices, new sponserships, merchandise sales, partnerships with other clubs.

[@copious983]

Something I think most FM players don't realize (unless you work with the pre-game editor), is how many teams are actually in the game but unavailable on the default database you start the game with. EG. South Africa has 2 playable leagues and more than 400 clubs in two divisions each split into 7 leagues, that's around fourteen leagues unavailable to you even though the data is in the database with the league structures as well but it is unavailable to play as a non-league option, so every time you do a save in South Africa you only have a choice of 2 out sixteen leagues. This is the same in almost every playable league in the game, most of the game is actually unavailable to default players. I would like all these to be available by default..... PLEASE

[@rockerfarm6445]

Infrastucture, i mean just having training and youth facilities is unrealistic, a Club needs so much more, i really liked the aspect of EAs Manager in this way, also designing your own stadium

[@jackharmeling7947]

Would love it if the game had a little bit more flair to it. Players with higher aggression and similar mental stats should be in other players faces. Some players should be less agreeable than others, or starting drama, or bounce from team to team or be left out of CPU squads. Players could be fan favorites, or trend on social media, or make comments about each other. Even if it's a bit more than realistic, it would be fun for different aspects of the game to have more personality.

[@amimeebee]

one more thing: allow player trade offers with players of the reserve team (not the youth). i usually put all players i want to move into the reserves. dont want them to play on the first team and therefore do not want to deal with them in the main roster.

[@ShinySwalot]

Very very minor but I want an ability to when asking the Director of Football for suggestions, filter on nations/eligibility now I ask him in my Japan save and he keeps bringing up players that are foreign... also I wish there was a way to limit the amount of good regens coming into the game, it feels for any save that if you just play long enough, eventually you'll get a good team just by the sheer amonut of world beating amazing talent.

[@MarlisBaker]

The communications with players could be improved a lot. Like when I fall out with a player over his training, I put him in the u21's. He then complains about being in the u21's but there is no option to say things like hes staying there until he books up his ideas in training and learns some respect 😁

[@Felicjan-r6t]

so international management in fm2025 .... hahahahah it will be fixed

[@Bleachguy2023]

i think a better ai in transfers there was interest in Dalot but said other if main target fails yet i watched them and they did not buy a player or mine and i set a fee and clubs still low balling the value like i done a my save where transfers are reset but get that budget and timber was 100mil no one will pay that realistic fees if players dont play much the value should be lower come jan or the summer

[@andrewejc]

17:05 Its easy to do without a club. Its called spending all those wages you earn

[@bigmaguire9714]

So many things I could vouch for but if I had to pick one, it would be player interactions for me.

[@GicaLabe]

About international management I think the only way to make it interesting between tournaments and international fixtures is to treat the country you train as a club. I mean, you become the ¨president of your federation¨you have to make the league more interesting, get better sponsors and find wayss to develop as a country, biuld better intalations for the nationaal team and the clubs.

[@Bleachguy2023]

i agree on the column one so frustration

[@Youngboyhaunted]

It would be nice to be able to have a say on the type of pitch and seats etc more opinions with the types of facilities.

[@SkylineDG]

[@Kadesh86]

My star player left back wants more central defenders in the squad... I had to promise him I will develop teens... I tried two from the academy but they didn't work out. Now, my star player left back, which starts every single game, is angry with me and make some of the other players go against me... it's just stupid. (I left this comment for the "algorythm" :)) I love FM24, been playing since CM days. Can't wait for 25)

[@stevefeak5696]

Seems like a black and white, you failed the promise. That promise can be finicky, but even you’re admitting it didn’t work out, I’m sure your LB feels the same way

[@Atikusiuuu]

Improving the AI transfer logic would be massive. It's the core of the game and would literally improve FM for everyone

[@philipprior2575]

id like transfers to be able to drag out longer, contract negotiations shouldnt just all be in one back and forth, it should be easier to come back to the table and for bigger transfers or transfers with more clubs possibly involved there should be more of a build up. it shouldnt you get a notification that a player on your shortlist has had an offer and then next click they have joined.

[@bipolarminddroppings]

For me, they need to leverage these language models to make it so you can actually have conversations with your players.

[@LeeFreeman-1986]

Game difficulty settings. Easy, Medium, Hard, Legendary. Keep everyone happy.

[@tonyguyan9559]

I feel the team talks at full time just isn’t enough and after you get comprehensively beaten you should be able to give them an absolute roasting in a team meeting and not the ambiguous, encouraging options you get. I remember you could even fine players for poor performances. The individual talks about form and last game do absolutely nothing maybe a threat of a fine will give them a kick up the arse they need. Plus praising players is so bad. Why would you lose your marbles for being praised even if you feel you don’t deserve it. Promises are also flawed and if you fulfil a promise after they get upset, sometimes through no fault of your own, they remain angry. Plus the players getting upset over the clubs finances when you’re actually in the black with a healthy bank balance.

[@Inveist]

Aaron wan Bissaka to West Ham United HERE WE CLANG *2 glasses clanging together* this deal was done quite a while ago for like more than 1 million pounds! GG

[@nigelphilipgabbott]

Transfers are the main one. It doesn't matter who you manage, unless you self-regulate who you sign, it's impossible to fail. Pick any Prem/Championship team and you can win the Prem and CL within 3 or 4 years easily, in the second more often than not. It's just far too easy to build a squad. Being able to pay in installments is really unrealistic. That only happens when teams want players moved on and have struggled to get of them, or if you overpay. You aren't going to Barca and getting them to give you Yamal on Klarna over 3 years like you can in the game, they'd want it up front. It also needs to be based on the squad planner. You should pick your targets from there in pre-season and you should then only be able to sign players outside the profiles identified there by making a board request, which is then approved or not based on your rep and the club's finances.

[@skottitohotti]

Squad Building is way too easy but its really common in modern football to pay in installments

[@nigelphilipgabbott]

@@skottitohotti It is, but there is context to it. If it's a player a team is looking to get rid of, they are more likely to accept installments. They aren't going to if the player is in demand and has a lot of interest. Buying clubs should also be reluctant to back mass spending and a lot of signings, particularly if you are unproven at the club. You should have to agree priorities at the start of the season/window and largely keep to it. I.e need to sign a striker and a LB. Any further signings should then have to be board requests with a good chance of them being turned down, depending on finances and manager reputation.

[@skottitohotti]

@@nigelphilipgabbott if youre financially stable it makes total sense to accept a bid in installments because you can get more Transfer fee overall
