Miss you Uncle Phil!

Go Bayern 😂😂😂

🔥🔥🔥

"Its crazy ending up in one of the best teams in Europe after only winning 2 titelspåret. League One and League Two" Thats just an FM classic quote. Pure poetry

Hi Phill! I am looking online for an explanation about the shots/ goals screen in the data hub (data hub-> team-> shots) and there is nothing! Would you care to be the first one explaining it?

Great watch!

Ηello also to you

I am a new viewer, I just want to say I love your calm and well thought out approach to FM24 which is a very chaotic game at times. You've given me much to think about and I have seen some interesting improvement's in my team's form just implementing tips from a few videos on your playlist (that i found this video on)

Great watch

Langstaff speaks fluent German 😂

Old man Phil at his suffering most 😉

Nice video man! Keep crushing it! You can win the league, I’m confident.

Just when you was thinking the world & FM could not get more crazy... (those first saves in FM 24 was strange, remember some really strange moves that was done by the game.)

I totally understand what you mean and I agree, I personally have 2 annoyances with the game that I don't know if these things have bothered you or not, number 1 is the highlights are very predictable and I don't understand why, I am almost always able to predict whether I am going to concede or score just by watching the first few seconds of the highlight, second is I think VAR needs toned down a bit, I know it's prevalent in the modern game but I think it's a little too much in this game, it feels like every 2nd goal the VAR pops up and decides whether it's offside and I'm just sick of it's occurance, I hope they take a back a notch and calm the VAR a little.

You said Fergie was 442, but he moved to 433 in about 2005? He didn't get it to work with personal but went back to it with Rooney, Tevez, Ronaldo.

Phill i think you dont understand the difference in tv money and sponsormoney Uk clubs have.. im from Amsterdam amd even wolves and fulham can easely get players of Ajax!! Ipswich has more wagebudhet then red star belgrado or Az Alkmaar even Anderlecht so for me its not so strange

Is "the switch" a result of complacency among your players that comes with your team winning often and not knowing defeat?

I am quite worried about the user interface as well. I have never downloaded a "skin" before, but I may need to for this next one because it looks very geared to controller-users instead of as you said, the spreadsheet game. I agree that the most important thing for me in a game like this is having the feeling of control, that the choices I make before and during a match have an effect. Whether those choices are data-driven transfer targets, or tactical/squad decisions, autonomy is key.

I love this channel, it constantly gives me ideas on how to play football manager and also helps me improve my English 😅

My general philosophy is to advocate for more options. In this case, it should be eminently feasible to have a 'console mode' for the 'new 'audience whilst retaining a 'data mode' for us old-skoolers.

I hope you have a great holiday Phil

Good video Phil, you make some good points Phil & i kind of agree…

Ar you a united fan?

I love all football manager content creators, and your the best Welsh FM creator. Hope your doing well Phil.

Have a great holiday Phil

I'm not a youngun either! If they lose the data side of the game, they'll lose me!

Short and simple. Not complicating in your explanations. I love it :) Now can't wait to test this as I had some problems you explained here. Thank you and keep up a good work! :))

Should be remembered that the codebase of fm24 is 20 years old and it has many cludges over time and there's only limited time to improve things and i expect some things to be very difficult to change due to the age. Hopefully the new game will gradually improve. I think it will be rough at first, but given time as they get more experienced with unity.

i missed the livestream hah

Good video Phil. We will have to reserve judgment on FM25.

Absolutely brilliant advise that has just changed my way of playing FM

Love it phil, greatly constructed

Great video! You are definitely more of an in-depth player than I am but I have loved being a casual player of the series for about 12 years now but I share a lot of the same issues you do, especially with the future of the series. I don’t expect the upcoming iteration of the game to be up to standard to justify a release and why should we, as lovers of the game, justify purchasing the game when there is a chance that they try to release FM26 on the usual schedule… It will be very disappointing if they go towards a “FIFA career mode” direction because that’s not what the player base wants. A console version should 100% be the “demo” for new players.

love your videos!

more videos pls :)

I have been playing fm for 10 years now and it is my very first time to see a channel so calm and warmly welcoming. LETS KICK SOME BALLS :D

I’m a simple man. I see the Ipswich badge, I click

i love your insights here, especially the european drop you speak about. Currently experiencing this in my third season and thought I was doing something wrong. I do think you might be on to something in the dumbing down of the game. I am truly excited but also worried for the future and hope FM25 isn’t released for the sake of it. Love the video and your commentary is excellent.

We should probably just enjoy FM24 for a couple of years more

I don't know why but watching this I can't help but think of that Monty Python clip "Get on with it! Yes, get on with it!". Weird how that came to mind.

Great points made Phil and I fully agree. I'll suggest a couple more pre determined things I've noticed from my 1000s of hours of FM -Key player injuries before a playoff/big game/final at the end of the season, usually with the player being injured for a few weeks, just enough to miss the game/s but be back for pre season. -AI being far more clinical than you to score with their shots on target, no tactic or GK can stop this. - The "end of season" slump, where you are usually fighting for promotion or a title. Your form for no logical reason (besides scripting) will completely fall off a cliff and suddenly your title/promotion fight will come down to the last day, when you should (according to the previous form) have wrapped it up a few games ago. I've seen this countless times on other's saves and my saves. It even happened to me on the weekend 😂

Thank you to the TH-cam algorithm for recommending this video! I've been playing this game since CM1, but it's news to me that you can play your reserves and youth players and still progress in Europe. I’ll have to test this myself. Thanks for making me think, Phil! 👍

I know it’s not the point you’re making, but I too was thinking the other day why handball isn’t in the game, but believe it or not, later that day I had a penalty given against me for handball!

Great video covering interesting points. Totally agree with you Thank you
