The editor definitely needs work. Especially highlighting the errors instead of just telling you what the error is. Try expanding Canada by an extra 20 levels and having to search for errors.

Couldn't agree with you more. Pre-game editor is a waste of potential right now. Most ppl won't even bother since there aren't any instructions and unless you watch a few guides you ain't doing as much as you could

The pre-game is one of the most user unfriendly experiences I've ever had. I had to create my own playable Faroe Islands league system and it was an extremely painful experience to get stuff as simple as a 4th team working. Then you have an error and instead of telling you what the error is, you just have to guess.

[@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.

[@henryeliot4807]

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. If a player who left your team unceremoniously has to play against you? Have them more likely to foul your players and play dirty! Have captains with high aggression get in the face of the opponents, protecting players. I would love if bad blood could be earned and have repercussions.

- 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.

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.

[@paulopalma4009]

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.

[@arctic8402]

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.

[@stevendaly4640]

Scout reports suck. They are a bunch of vague statements who's only use is to tell you about hidden attributes. That there is no reference to the player's attributes there is dumb. It always has been. FM is, at its core, an attribute based game. I am willing to bet most people will check a player's profile if they like the scout report before considering an offer. 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. Hey this guy is gonna be the 8th based CB but he only cost 100k and has 1k wages, sign him!

[@Touchpadse]

Would be great if they could implement something that made your salary actually mean something. 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?"

[@saoirsedeltufo7436]

Of course there are always tactics that cheeses current version of FM but that's almost cheating. 2. Realistic values, especially in lower leagues. 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. It shouldn't be dots but rather areas in the pitch + defensive/offensive attitude.

I would make it somehow harder for experienced player, for example being able to see Potential star rating even with its inaccuracies is sth that makes scouting and buying wonderkids very easy, sth that even the best clubs in the world cannot do with such a precision.

[@scottwilson7411]

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.

worst promises for me are when they go past the end of a players contract (mostly a lower league issue). you promise someone game time, play them the last 20 matches of the season, they're delighted with their playing time but because the promise doesn't resolve until August they refuse to extend their contract and walk out at the end of June.

I know it’s disappearing in the next game but international management could be made so much better. I know not many people use it, but having training schedules for your team, proper rest periods during tournaments, the ability to pick where friendlies are played e.g. not playing an England game at Wembley or playing a Brazil “home” game in Dubai or Madrid. 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. As I’m typing this international management came up in the video, but still sending it in 😊

[@jacopobelbo1399]

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).

one thing that i would like to see change is you put out a job advert for a certain staff role and instead of been able to removing people like it would be in real life it just keeps building up and that pisses me off so much prob not a big issue but it is for me

[@robertturner9690]

Great videos. Keep it up. Also, I didn’t realise I was a hard core fan of FM. Bit actually not you’ve told me. I think I might have a FM issue lol. On tweeks to the game. I’ve always wanted more control over finances, Tickets, merchandise (type and price),and stadium look, type of training facilities, type and scope of charity/foundation initiatives Also women’s football would be great. And actually while I think about it. A way to create a club legitimately, instead of editing

[@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

[@vastrashastra]

Dynamic boost in club aspects such as reputation and finances. 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.

[@scottyh1238]

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

[@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

[@Davidjh-1994]

the aliens were in one of lollujo's saves. there were some weird graphical issues at smaller stadiums and trophy lifts etc.

[@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.

[@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".

[@Nigel4]

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."

[@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.

[@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.

[@Mikkel-f8m]

It shouldn't be my fault if i promised a player that they'll be offered a new contract / being loaned out / being sold and they rejected the offers, we should have a discussion where we could rebuttal the players like "we did offer you something, you just don't want it" type of thing

[@emilienduvernois3280]

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

[@stevefeak5696]

I want to be able to ask my players if they want to go on loan or they’d rather stay and train at the club. “You’ve been given more time to complete the promise” are probably the worst words in the whole game

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@SubwaySweden]

regarding more game time, had a player in one of my saves that asked for that and then got injured 6 months and hated me for not playing him while still injured..... WTF bro

[@lewisgibbins2836]

how do we get the skin your using and the squad views

[@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.

[@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.

[@Bleachguy2023]

on one of my saves with man utd i bought 3 cbs in and yet maguire and lindelof did not want to leave and expected squad player games got unhappy not playing much and i already said he not in my plans and refused to go even when an offer was accepted so frustration and the dalot one i accepted it yet he rejected the move i was looking at frimpong halted my transfer buisness

[@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.

[@Atikusiuuu]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@Felicjan-r6t]

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

[@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.

[@reddwarf63]

Having a 17 year old player, who is listed as a breakthrough prospect, hasn't played any games leading up to CL registration and then gets angry cos he wasn't registered and then gets half the team agreeing

[@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 😁

[@Bleachguy2023]

i agree on the column one so frustration

[@SkylineDG]

6:15 Fernando Diniz did it recently for Brazil and Fluminense 😅

[@GoaIIand]

If there is only one thing that can be changed. I want the entire transfer amount is debited from the transfer budget when you buy a player by installments. The fact that I can buy players for 600 million in West Ham in the first transfer window, selling only Zouma, ruining all realism.

[@bipolarminddroppings]

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

[@ARPiG3]

Can we get these features as an add-on to FM24 until FM25 comes out somehow? It doesn't need to be as realistic, just has to work.
