having a lawn that deteriorates throughout the season (addition to the staff of gardeners, stadium manager, etc.) with the effect of increasing the risk of injury if the lawn is in very poor condition.
- being able to have training groups on the same time slot
-financial level:
-variations in the sums of TV rights according to the championships (every 4-5 years depending on the performances of the clubs in EC)
- variation in the prices of tickets and subscriptions according to the performance and reputation of the club
(1) I would like to see "economic shifts" in the world - a few years ago China decided that they are putting a lot of money into football. now Saudi Arabia and Qatar are doing this.
but as we all know China stopped and since the world cup Qatar cut it drastically.
why not add the option of England deciding to cut down football expenses and thusly the Prem becomes a little harsher on the dime?
Maybe Norway (technically speaking - one of, if not the richest country in the world) deciding to invest rapidly in football? or Armenia finding a giant goldmine and investing in everything including football.
(2) maybe less appealing but - what about political shifts? not talking about implementing bans for countries but for example France reforming their foreigners rule to include only French players. or Montenegro joining the EU while the Dutch decide to do a "Ditch" and leave.
i think these 2 options could make the game much more dynamic in many senses :)
Is it just me or does anyone’s else want SI to fix the career stats tab bug where it doesn’t register career appearances and goals if it’s not league match?
The whole international management needs overhauled. When major tournaments come up it would be cool to try it out if they done it properly
Agreed. Up.
Completely agree. And it would be nice to have some time in camp with the squad and put them through training routines to sharpen their fitness, cohesion and tactical awareness.
What specifically would you want?
This can be fixed if Sports Interactive gets the FIFA License that EA lost.
Getting that License will allow Sports Interactive to give us ALL of the National Teams with official kits.
Plus getting the FIFA License will also make Sports Interactive make the International Side of the game to be Overhauled.
@@unnamedshadow1866 FIFA license has been snapped up by 2K unfortunately
Most clubs in top leagues have head coaches rather than managers, the AI for Directors of Football is not good enough and there needs to be a way of playing where you just won't be buying the players, you will have meetings with the DOF at regular intervals where positions, tactics and players required to fit the clubs model. I just think this adds a more realistic way of playing the game.
agreed. I automate the DoF to go out and look for young players but for the most part I've had to cancel the transfer because the player is just so awful.
Yeah I mean you can sort of play that way but it’s not great and could be done much better
I would prefer it to be more video game then spreadsheet.
Like you ask the board to expand the stadium and you choose which stand and how it looks. Being ask by the board about sponsors, specially if you’ve been there 5years +
1. Kit designer, or kit variations for every season
2. Sponsorship negotiations
3.Stadium designer or variation choice
4. International managment overhaul
5. Play as any role you want, not only manager
Tbf it’s really easy to add new kits but it should be in the game yes
5th one is crazy imo
@@kayodobrovevo3864 there should be a system that the game randomises kits from the last 5 games for example
2nd and 3rd one isn't a manager job and number 5 will never happen
How would you ever play as a u19 goalkeeper coach or a physio? That makes no sense + its football manager not football coach
I know this might sound crazy bu i want the Regen attiributes to be more realist in late stage fm becomes a game about finding the ridiculous wonderkids . I want the older guys to have a fighing chance because their metal attibutes should be way higher than any 16 year old regen
wonder kids should have better ability, but worse potential imo
I agree. Mental attributes should increase a lot more with age.
They should rework the whole way the CA/PA mechanic works and how the development works. It's dumb that a player after 25 cannot improve anymore imo. It's even worse that almost all old players become useless when their physicals start disappearing.
But that's because the physicals are OP in this game and have always been.
Stopping players wanting a new contract every 1.5/2 years
Yeah it's just stupid when a player had a good month and immediately wants a new contact
@@gerdfernandez Or when a squad player is forced to play multiple games due to injury and averages 6.7 across 4 or 5 games and believes he deserves an important player contract.
For sure! It gets frustrating signing my guys to long deals then 14 months on they start throwing a fit about wanting a new deal.
And this happens even if they have "good" personalities with high profesionalism etc
Things i would like to see changed:
-Don't make facilities go up just one level, if you start managing a small team with a 7 academy for example(out of 20), you will invest millions to just make it go level 8. Just to upgrade it again the next season, make it possible to teams that have a lot of money to skip steps and go into bigger tiers faster.
-Make the press conferences usefull, it's just boring nonsense with no actual goal now.
-Make the game generate less good players (after a few seasons you will see a lot of 190+ potential regens)
-Make the firing of managers more realistic. Like for example Pep got sacked because he got second with Man City or a manager who gets fired mid season for being in 10th place in serie B, while they had only 6 points behind a top 3 and were missing 2 matches.
-Make the AI stop loaning talents just to put in there youth academy. If you offer young players for loan (with a lot of talent), you see teams trying to loan them while they will never play them.
I play in Hungary since 10 yearls, reached CL semi-final. 3 stars yout academy and has 200 million euros. Aksed them (100th time) to upgrade it. And they said, nah, its fine... I even get fired because of this yet they still refusing it. Image the situation, you have a manager in a hungarian club that makes you 200 million budget and reach CL semi-final, and you still let him leave because you dont want to upgrade the fcking youth academy....
- sporting director mode
- I can edit the stadium and the new jerseys every year
- possibility to sign sponsor contracts
- more realistic press conferences
- different coaching roles (I can be an assistant manager)
- spend my own salary, even buy my own club in time
- managing junior teams
Why on earth would you want to be an assistant manager. It’s not AFM 25
@@TheNotoriousOne94 I don't know, just a funny idea. You could still plan tactics and training, develop players, but you don't have to hold a press conferences and talk to the board and angry players, but I can see why that would be boring for a lot of people.
@@matemolnar1558I get my assistant manager to talk to the press lol
@@matemolnar1558 nah it's a good idea. adds realism and another step between coaching a third division team and a first division team
@@hao2000ki no it aint
Would like the ability to set up separate offensive and defensive formation.
(& more than 2 players being able to ‘swap positions’)
(&& defenders being able to ‘swap positions’)
Seems easy enough 🤷♂️
I don't agree with this, purely because it's a misunderstanding of the formation system. The one you see in the screen is your iut of possession shape effectively, however the roles you give indicate the positions the players take up in possession
I think the most significant feature SI could add to this game is the implementation of an AI software that functions similarly to a ChatGPT. Rather than the RNG based system they use in board requests and interactions with players, other clubs, etc, a program that could react to unique aspects of your save to generate responses would completely change the game. I don’t know how this would work because my interaction with these softwares is minimal and surface level, but if it’s possible it would make every single save completely unique. You would even be able to type your own responses in these interactions, rather than click on the prewritten responses that lead to a conversation that feels somewhat predetermined. This would make this aspect of the game more skill based as well.
1 deeper league pyramids
2 better training
3 international management improvements
4 better media interactions
5 improved youth systems
FM's big Achilles I found was lack of backstory for your character. Yes, it allowed you to set yourself up as an ex-player but it didn't allow you to set who you used to play for or even if you'd had coaching roles with other teams previously. Surely that would be doable because realistically, it would have an effect on your career.
When a player complains he hasn't started often enough there are never the option of telling him why he hasn't actually played. There should be a drop down menu or something where I can choose topic, e.g "tired" or "not match fit", then replies could be created based on that. The way it is now you are basically forced into hopeless promises.
Yeah I agree with this, either have to promise something you don't want to or be forced to tell them you don't want them anymore there's no in-between.
1) AI for Senior Staff (like Technical Director, DOF & Loan Manager) needs a big improvement. Their decisions (even with top attributes) are always really strange.
2) Player interaction options need to be largely the same for the same type of conversation (e.g. I speak to a player who is unhappy with his playing time and i have some decent chat options to explain why but being decent with him but, the next player i speak to about playing time, i have different options and they are all quite harsh which annoys the player!)
3) When listing a player for loan (especially youth players), we need more detail on the level of club (both the division they play in and their facilities) that we set for the Loan manager. Most of the time, i do it myself as the Loan Manager tends to send them somewhere unsuitable, or with no realistic playing time agreement - pointless having a Loan Manager TBH!
Additional….
5) teams should wear away strips so that they don’t clash with the home team. Anyone else find that a bizarre thing this year?
The absolute number 1 thing the new game needs is for all conversations with players, board, media etc to be completely original using GPT generative AIs. This should be really easy to add. All the interaction aspects of the game currently are predictable, laborious, repetitive and annoying, because they're so limited.
I don't think it should all be uniquely generated. This would cause a while lot of issues with nonsensical questions/answers and them being not interpreted in the way you read them. It's actually very difficult to get it working consistently.
I'd much prefer just generating a few thousand variations of existing interactions and maybe using AI to come up with some more unique/new types of questions. But these should be generated beforehand, and implemented permanently.
@@niismo. i don't know man I think it would be loads of fun. I'm fine with nonsensical questions! As long as I can storm out of the press conference and tell them to stop wasting my time and then the next game starts I'm all good. I want infinite possibilities in interactions and it's all here. I mean, sure, each character could be programmed to respond within given parameters, by that I mean they will know they are journalists / football players / whatever they are, so they won't talk like Gandalf or something. But maybe one is a bit more antagonistic than another, one is a bit of a brown noser etc
- Stadium and grounds customizer and editor. i want to see all these youth facilities, training grounds, stands, corpporate facilities etc.
- Ability to be both a manager and an owner as well as player-manager
- Sponsorship rework. I want to see my sponsors. Have an ability to sign them, fulfil expectations, earn bonuses see them on kits and stadiums, in press conferences
- more traits like EA FC playstyles that are actually visible in games
The problem with the sponsors is unless they sign deals with real companies they will all be fake companies . And even if they they sign deals with some real firms it's unlikely they will get the vast array of companies involved that it would need to not feel unrealistic.
If this happen gonna be almost perfect manager 😊
Chairman mode would be a good option being able to buy a lower league club and try and bring them up while hiring your manager, negotiating sponsorships, and everything else that goes with running the club
I'd like to see all stadiums feel realistic and look and feel like the real stadiums. For example if I'm managing Man United in Old Trafford, it should look and feel like Old Trafford (maybe without the waterfalls 😂).
They would have to get the licences from all the clubs it would cost so much.
@@liamjones9115 I wonder if it could be an add on like kit packs etc.. Some really clever people in the FM space
@@RossT551 If the had a stadium editor people could do it themselves..
I dont think they will do that due to licensing (man u wont let them use their logo let alone their stadium), but it would be nice for stadiums to look and feel more realistic, and maybe the ability to design your own.
Yeah, I'm not in favour of that. I hate my real club stadium. I wish it was as good as some of the crappiest looking in-game stadiums
First thing is something simple. A way t distinguish players I have put on my Not Interested List. Just make the players name darker or something just to distinguish them in my scouted players list.
A tutorial would be cool for newcomers. I have thought about how to do this and a simple mode where the newcomer is put in charge of a team in a 4 team round-robin league that guides you through the basics of the game, transfers, contracts, matchday options. Things like that.
I have not seen this in the game, and I may have just missed it or not seen it, but an option when setting up to have the weather affect whether a game is played or not. Postponements of games to add the realism of fixture crunch could add a little extra spice to that end of season run-in. Though I could see this being a pain to implement.
Something I have thought about, but doubt it would be liked, is splitting up the facilities request into smaller chunks. Instead of trying to request a huge facility overhaul you could request for improved individual facilities like improving pitches for overall training, improving gymnasiums to improve strength training, improving classrooms to improve tactical knowledge. Though mostly to make it affordable when doing lower league club saves. You could also do it for the stadium. Asking to install undersoil heating (which could tie in with postponements), install new floodlights, or new press conference facilites to improve rapport for those that still do press conferences (if any). This is one that I highly doubt would be implemented ever, but it would be a neat addition to have more interactivity with the board.
I agree with lot of comments, but i would like to add some wishes:
1. Backstory for manager, because we appear in world of football out of nowhwee. I would like to choose clubs where i played and my team mates.
2. Golden ball awards need some changes. In my playthroughs, Lukaku and Bernardo Silva win almost every time, even they didnt win anything with their teams.
3. Potential. It doesnt make sense, that my player (Nicolo Tresoldi) won Golden Shoe for best striker, but didnt play for national team, because his potential was too low.
4. Adding Champions league database, to be able check how many CL goals scored player for example in season 17/18.
5. Clubs change managers way too often.
Only a small thing but when you look at a league and click “stadiums” should show you a map with all the locations on. When managing a random league, it’d be cool to see which teams are close together etc
is it only me or the regens looked much more better in older versions?
Your last point sounds pretty cool. If i'm not wrong, one of the best managers ever Pep started in Barca B?
Hopefully we get a pre-game editor overhaul. There are tons of loose ends and inefficiencies (especially with RAM usage).
Press conferences bro.. and player interactions!! Having told the players and media the same things for 10 years now is quite boring 😢
Honestly that's something they could use AI on - to give options that mean the same but are worded differently.
who is your brother?
Sound files , lots of official or unofficial mp3 recordings of football club songs available online, each team could have 10 various songs that are triggered at random times when you are playing a match, e.g. Liverpool fc YNWA, obviously, fields of anfield road, allez allez, etc , leeds utd marching on together, spurs when the spurs go marching in, etc bayern munich stern des sudens, I would also go for stadium accurate renders
1. Cut scenes and dialogue for negotiations and press conferences
2. Build the staduim you want. You could have a fixed budget and every upgrade takes away from that budget. You should be able to do same for thw clubs facilities.
2. Better player and coach development. Loan players could have a progression bar.
3. Cut scene for winning the league. Bus in your team colours and fans marching along cheering. There could be a budget option for this "Bus Parade, meet the fans or trophy showcase" depending on the budget you can choose.
4. Better preseason camps and you could have a weekly report on the benefits of the camp. Team cohesion, team fitness, tactical knowledge and team morale.
5. Proper fan events organised by the Community Trust Manager. You should be able to request to establish a community trust. This will open extra positions to hire.
Robin van Persie just singed his first contract as a 1st team trainer at sc Heerenveen. He was the trainer of Feyenoord under 18
What i'd love in the next FM would be to be able to have talks with the players before the transfer, you know, not the kind you have in EAFC, but discussion to try and convince the player to join your side when there are other clubs interested in said player, or try to discuss about the clubs objective to convince him... because i love the fact that you can interact with the agent to try and get info on what the player would love but it"s purely financial and not really focused on the player, his needs, objectives, the way he'll interact with the other players and his objectives on a personal level.
Something that would make it really important to have a good relationship with the player of your team but also with those that aren't, and that would have influence when you praise a player you're keeping an eye on.
I want every club to be different if they have a director of football or not and (if a club does have a DOF)have them present to you 2/3 options if you are hire as a coach vs a manager I’m surprised this has not been done yet .
In a side note I would love a option to be a chairman or club owner , kinda defeats the purpose re the name
Of the game but would be nice .
DoF providing options would be great. Equally you presenting them options for their feedback would also be good. That's how it works afterall. It's not all on the manager.
I want to see sports psychology. Got a big game coming up, you get a match preparation specifically for that, gets players in the zone. Keep teamtalk and shouts for match day morale management but a sports psychologist could be like Player A's father died, ask psychologist to assess match suitability - distracted, determined, aggressive. Player B has had a season ending injury, send to psychologist to help him keep motivated to return on top form. This could help to keep mentals high which is vastly underappreciated in FM
1. Kit designs at the end of each season
2. Ability to increase ticket prices/season ticket prices to generate more revenue
3. Negotiate sponsorship deals
4. Ability to pick manager's previous playing experience
5. Better and more realistic stadium noises.
Something I've been wishing for for a long time is a mode where you actually have to earn your coaching badges (I guess this ties into your ability to manage youth teams). This could work alongside the classic manager mode or as a new way to create stories. Each coaching badge has a set of challenges you need to fulfill something like the driving tests in Gran Turismo, the challenges getting progressively tougher the higher the coaching level. I guess this would be a great way to introduce new players to the game as well, a kind of tutorial if you will or, at the very least, a way to spend some of that money you negotiate for contracts.
Improved New gen faces is a must for me, it's the most immersion breaking part of the game. Just building in a newGen kind of generator would be massive, and if it would also age those player faces as their career goes on would be the cherry on top. Just seeing your players grow up with their skills and faces would add so much.
No, not every FM player will agree you need a skin, I have never used one and never will, well unless they totally mess up the new interface and I need to get it back to the more spreadsheet look it has just now. It’s that look and design that has kept me playing this game every year for nearly 3 decades, it would be a real shame if they alienated their actual core fanbase just to chase pounds from casual gamers.
When setting up at the beginning, it would be great to put your entire career behind you. Not just your age or whether you were a national player. But also where you started your football career, where you moved to and how many goals you scored there. So you could start as a coach at a club where you were previously loved or perhaps hated as a player.
A own History would be great....
I think top of my wishlist are (a) I would like to see is that managers of other clubs have a greater impact on their teams. In my current save, Klopp is at Real Madrid but I just noticed by chance. There is absolutely nothing about Real Madrid that is different under Klopp compared to Ancelotti, as far as I can tell. I think this is crazy for a game that is called 'Football Manager' and (b) I want a more streamlined experience of management without feeling like I sell out. I simply do not have the time to plow through all these emails and fringe players asking for new contracts. I would like there to be more experimental game setups like being a DoF or similar, ie being able to create interesting scenarios, like taking over a depleted Man Utd in League 1 in 2027 or implementing a one-nation policy at any club I want in the game set up etc.
My current save has taken me to Chivas in Mexico and the board have a Mexican born policy... you could just implement it yourself if you didn't want the board to do it.
5 things I want for the future of FM 1 Updated match engine that's easy since the match engine is ageing and we need something new. 2 more leagues and countries officially licensed like the premier league, English lower tiers, African and Oceania leagues. 3 better international management. 4 FA making new and scrapping existing competitions changing formats ect eg BSM trophy allows more reserve and national league teams in. 5 more opportunities to take real players and make them your reserve or a Player /goalkeeping coach
Nothing worse than losibg a penalty for what is a clear good challenge. Stupid wee unrealistic kneeling men!
I’d like to see photorealistic stadium surroundings, if possible based on the real location. Microsoft Flight Simulator does this now and it adds a whole new level of realism to the experience. You wouldn’t need to download the whole geo database, just that which corresponds to the venue you are playing at at the time.
i would love to add the ability of being an interim manager you have 10 games to get the job. being able to be an assistant aswell. you give opinions and opinions only on how you would play agaisnt certain teams
The main thing I want is more personality for newgens. Working social media, players posting generated pics, tweets, etc. would be amazing. Everyone having their own social media profile that gets filled with content would add so much more to the players than just stats, another way to connect with them. I think that would be great especially with the use of AI, but as the technology is pretty new that's probably still a few years away, even if they actually wanted to do that.
Other things I'd like to see to give more personality to newgens are full character models that you can view on their pages, not just faces. This could include individual clothing based on personality etc.
I just want the game and espacially the newgens to feel more life like.
I’m very early in the video but i hope they actually fix youth management/b team management. It would be nice to have boosted odds of being able to land a manager role on the first team through a grassroots system, being able to work with the club philosophy and the players. U19 Managing would be nice to see as well as you can potentially go from U19 to B Team to the main team. Many of the greatest coaches have coached at the lower levels of their club, so being able to start a journeyman save that way, or even a long term save with a single club in that way would be nice. International managing should be fixed as well
I’m hoping International management gets an upgrade, like players improving by playing with better players on international duty, to developing a nation to world class and getting top regens and you can speak to the FA of that nation like you do with the board at club level.
I don’t think anyone wants you to be able to build the stadium. You should just be able to edit what the stadium looks like visually so it will be closer to what it is in real life.
I am down to build my own stadium
@@blackfalcon1324 fifa manager could, so why not fm
@@bean7750 Because FIFA manager was a fifa branded EA game and EA spends in the range of 150 million a year for the branding rights.
I think what would be better is to just let people design their own stadiums and then we can download stadium packs.
I would love to build my stadium.
@@mrblackbird9011 I stand mistaken!
I would like the International management experience to mirror the club experience more closely. I’d also like to have an agent. I also think the player dynamics could be improved because you get players complaining about non-sensical things.
Mod support!
If they can manage to make the game easily moddable, the possibilities modders can do will blow your mind.
They could basically improve/change all aspects of the game, where-as now they can only change the UI a bit and update the database.
Just look at what modding has done for games like Skyrim, Cities Skylines and various Paradox interactive titles.
Only reason to not do it, would be that there might not be a need for players to get a new version yearly.
With the way the game looks, i never understood why SI havent spoke to some of the popular skin makers and used them to make the base game look a lot better out the box. Maybe even incorporate the additional skins as options you can use should you wish.
I would also love to see realistic stadium designs, the team i watch in wales have a 2 sided ground, in FM they have a 4 sided ground. Havinv this as a start point before you then build up the stadium should you get the funds would make the game that much better. I remember the LMA manager games where you would build a stand and see the crans and such at the side, that needs to be a feature.
Personally I think presentation is important, I'd like better more dynamic crowd sounds and maybe add in a few chants.
I'd also like default roles at every position and a video (similar to the one for roles) that shows your selected tactic and how it ideally works with selected roles.
I’d like club structures to be more realistic. If you start out at Chelsea for example it’s not very realistic to have full control of the transfers from season 1.
It be good if that initial contract said you’d to work within the structure and then as you grow your reputation you get the chance to work outside of it and earn full control. I get that wouldn’t be ideal for everyone, but it would be good if there was a setting to apply that at the start of the save. One of the few ways you could adjust difficulty
I'd like the ability to select different line-ups and tactics for different scenarios to be used when simming/holidaying.
For example, at home Vs teams outside the top ten, play my 4-2-4 positive, away from home and home Vs top ten, play my 4-2-3-1 balanced.
My minor one is making sponsors mean something, even if they're fictionalised.
I.e. much better sponsor uplifts/renegotiations/payment clauses so you can genuinely grow the club.
Then, also, for non-licensed teams, kit manufacturers offering you deals, with different design philosophies etc and they generate kits for you to approve each season, and show marketing trends/sales growth etc.
Then, most importantly, getting asked before each match which kit you want to wear as the away side, so you can avoid in-game clashes just because the text doesn't clash, but also generate sales boosts with historic wins in certain kits
I really hope they can change so it's more realistic when you let player transfer get handled by your other staff roles. Because sometimes you want to just play as a manager and work with the team you have and not have to think about transfers. But now they can spend money on a player in a position you already have strong players in or they end up selling for too low or buying only players from other nationality ending up in failing your squad league rules. Etc.
Better international management - and a tiny bit regarding the stands and kit. Like easier ways to name the stadium or choose your kit
Managing youth teams is a great shout.
There should be a realistic game mode and the sandbox game mode we have at the moment for example I shouldn't be able to beat Real Madrid as Aberdeen (my team) and win the champions league after 5 years but that's the way it is sadly but also if people want to play like that no problem I would much rather spending 5-10 years trying to win my domestic trophy which even then isn't that realistic in the grand scheme of things
Tactics and tactical familiarity need changed in my opinion for example if I want to play 2 formations with different roles and different positions if the player isn't training that role or that position and gets played there his tactical familiarity is low in that position why not just make it so once they've learnt that role and position its stuck with them and they fully understand it and learn a new role/position and perform in multiple roles/positions this way you aren't playing the same stagnant formation and would be more dynamic tactically in your approach to different opponents
Scouting in the game is so lazy it costs 30k a month to scout the entire world which is daft would be way better if they developed scouting and made it far more competitive some teams in the world have academies in other countries too that would be a nice venue to explore maybe have it so you can develop your own youth academy's in other countries with coach's hired by you in them
and scouting areas being competitive for example you really shouldn't be getting the best wonderkids in the world as a low league team maybe once in a blue moon teams get lucky like this Aberdeen signing Bojan Mivoski would be an example of this and we've never had this in our entire history of the club
Finances in the game are terrible too there should be harder negotiations to sign players for example if I'm a big club of course the player will want higher wages but if I'm a smaller club signing a player coming from a big club he should be willing to cut his wages if he wants to be a 1st team regular there should also be more contract clauses for players wanting to progress in their careers and there should be harder negotiations to sign players and teams wanting a % of the next player sale
Keep in realistic. I like it. All of Scottish football has zero investment and finishing top of the Premiership earns 10% of what last place in the English Premiership gets as prize money. Though, Scottish Premiership has the highest % of population per head attending games, so you should see busier stadiums, just no money.
@@mabozar15 yeah the game is pretty much a sandbox and its cool for a save or two but after a while its just repetitive sign the best wonderkids make millions I would like a struggle a grind to win a league if I play as Aberdeen I normally win the league my 1st if not 2nd season then get 20+ million from champions league every season and rinse and repeat players for millions it becomes very unrealistic and boring after a while its far to easy to sign extremely good players and far to easy to scout these players
@jordanduffy9233 maybe start as Stranraer?
@@mabozar15 I've tried numerous saves of late at the moment I'm doing a journey man save starting with no qualifications and I took a job at J3 side Fukushima I'm now on season 7 after getting back to back promotions and winning the league every season along with an Asian Champions League and 8 domestic cups
@jordanduffy9233 I've just done the exact same thing. Back to back wins with Fukushima on a Pentagon challenge. Then off to Orlando Pirates in South Africa. Just starting my third leg in Mexico with Chivas. I'll then do a save with my team in the Cinch Championship.
I would love to be able to watch the training sessions, maybe have an avatar that could move around the facilities, having players literally walk into your office or being able to call them over during training sessions for a chat or call a player off the bench during a game for instructions. I would love this immersion. There should still be an option to do everything from the menu.
always wanted more control over ticket and season ticket prices, also stadium design and building part like we had with lma manager
International Management that makes sense, especially U23 level
National FAs aren't hiring managers for U23 tournaments 10 days before Matchday 1
EDIT: and proper LLM finances, if you wanna make e.g. Anguilla available as a league system teams should not be able to 1. Go 2+mil in the black as a semipro outfit and 2. Go 1m in the red turning pro - reality sucks, but some teams that don't have the market for a professional outfit simply should not be able to turn pro
The only thing on stadium design that I wish you could do is talk to the board about seating capacity. If you do a one-club save, the capacities are way too low even if you are getting near the Champions League.
The other thing that I am running into in a Journyman where I am at Dortmund is that I stay within my budgets, am still in the Champions League and top of the Bundesliga and the board in December came to me and said due to worse than expected financial performance they were slashing my budgets. The budgeting and projection systems need to understand the prize money that is going to come in at the end of season better to either set lower budgets or not take away the budget because this is what always was going to happen.
(Like you said) Being able to manage U18 and U21 club teams would be a good feature. Many managers started off by managing at a youth level, so it would be a good way to start off your career.
I also want to see stuff added to international management. Like the ability to chat with your countries’ football federation to increase funding in certain leagues or youth.
An overhaul of the tactics, from adding way more depth to tactical and player instructions, to fixing the UI issues, just deepening the tactical aspect of the game.
For the Team and leagues which are fully licensed, Real life 3d stadiums in the match engine to make it feel more real especially early on in your save. Then make it able to mod 3d stadiums.
A small but nice thing to add would be to have the records of leagues in real life be attainable. I.E premier league goal record held by Shearer be possible to beat. Or CL record held by Ronaldo.
It would be great if say you took over Chatham Town and you got them to say a min table Championship team and the board building something like the Carrington.
Being able to set up satellite clubs/academies.
Better naming suggestions etc for the ground instead of the genetic.
Better or more youth development pathways in terms of cups like the Supercup NI, Foyle Cup and the Blackpool Cup
I would love to the personal life section like in total club manager so you can spend your wages on cars, houses, luxurious item have a family etc. At the moment it is pointless fighting for high contract wages as you can't spend the money anyway.
I don't think they should do exactly that, it's gimmicky to have you actually buying things but there should be some kind of economy in the game. So for example let's say you start unemployed and you apply for a bunch of jobs, when you get your contract offer it would give you a cost to live figure. This would be based on the country and the level of club (as the bigger the club the higher standard of living you would expect to keep, for example a non-league manager might live in a small flat but a PL manager would be expected to love in a mansion). Then you have something to judge the offers on, you might get more money in the conference south but the wage being offered might be taken up by your cost of living or even be less than the cost of living so taking £30 a week to manager a club in India where it costs £1 a week to live might make more sense. And if the difference is big enough you could be allowed to fund your own coaching courses, the club can still block it based on time but they couldn't on finances if you are paying. It would just add a bit more immersion and realism without going to gimmicky
-An idea for FM25 newgens, if they struggle for faces, why not ask the community to sign a waver over an email, and send their pictures in every year. Not sure on the legal side or how itd work, but an idea.
- Stadium builder(even if its just for create a club) or a visual for stadium upgrades in base games.
- Kit changes for the cycle of the game, the game cycles into the new/next season, so why not do an update for the licensed clubs.
- Better dialogue with ai
Etc
I would like them to enhance dialogue with players, i.e. that star players understand why it's important for them to play the semi finals in Champions League, and why it's a good strategy to not play the 20th team in the league two days before the big game. I really hoped that they would use some sort of real Open AI to have interesting dialogues throughout the game. I dont care about graphics, I still play the game in 2D.
League Trophy lifts should only happen after the FINAL home game of a season (unless the race goes to the last day).
If you clinch the league early there should be celebrations after that particular game but hold off on the trophy lift.
Another thing I’d like to see is to load up your own manager profile or at least bio with win rate etc from previous FM saves. It is a shame to lose your prior management career when changing to the new game. I would like to see the teams I have managed as well as the key stats
All I want for the new fm is better control over the economy I have been saying this for 20 years its about time that this key gameplay element gets some love as its been horrible for as long as the game have been alive. I want to be able to talk with sponsers, make add campaigns to get more people into the station, promote merchandise to the fans, make brand deals, make tv sponsership deals there is so many options to control the finanses better.
Bit weird of a weird request but some music would be nice in the game, through the menus. Also a vocal cinematic press conference and team talks similar to fifa. I think the match engine could be smoother with better animations but I don't mind classic two dots either. It would be nice to know exactly which role would do what and what roles compliment each other. An easier description of the data hub. It would be nice to have more realistic animations with scanning etc. Same with crowds. With regard to new gens, I'd rather have a blacked out face image in the menus but a nice animation.
I understand the above are not the key elements of the game, as I too am a fan of the database etc.
However in terms of layout, it would be a bonus of having the above features. I don't agree with stadiums edited etc as that's not a managers job but maybe more discussions with owners etc or even fans. Like I said not key elements of the game but would make a nice touch.
Being Welsh, I wish they could make a rugby game also but that's wishful thinking 😅
I recently played a bit of We Are Football 2024 and they had some nice features that I hope to see in FM25. For example you could negotiate with sponsors which I liked, or getting new members which will increase the revenue of club, have more options at trainingcamps at the summerbreak with different pros and cons. The possibility to set the season tickets prices and tickets prices. Buildung youth camps in different countries. The possibilty to build your own traininggrounds. These or somethings I liked in We Are Football.
What I also hope is since they add women teams that they are not separated from men teams. And some depth into the private life as a manager, you are getting money as a manager and cant do anything with it.
-A schedule where the cup final(s) dont happen 1) when my entire team has been on holiday for 3 weeks or 2) when i m already playing 2 or even 3 league matches that week
- Competition reputation going up or down infuencing sponsorships for longer saves.
I want more than anything a quality of life change where if we go on holiday after the season, when we come back for the new season and go through our emails, we shouldn't see a player who is extremely disappointed we did not talk to them, for whatever reason, while we were on holiday and suddenly the player wants to leave.
I'm really tired of coming back from a holiday with a fire extinguisher and having to put out these fires and calm everything down.
It would be nice to have these players reach out to the assistant manager or someone else, instead of crying in the corner because I did not speak to them about a new contract they wanted.
Own stadium build, or just 1 side of the stadium. Training facility’s more in detail to build instead of just upgrade. Yought facility? You have a landmark en build what you want for these 3 things
I'd like to see more realism when teams go down. In real life, when a team gets relegated, their players are often sold cheaper to cover finances, but in FM they still want 95M for Guehi or 85M for Eze at Palace for example on my save. These players then stay at Palace on 50% wages in the Championship. I'd also like them to remove the AI point blank refusing to loan you the same player for a second season without having to wait for a deadline day deal.
Could be nice If you could have the possibility to watch training sessions. If you have set yourself to be responsible for the attacking technical training e.g you should see players train and maybe have opportunity to choose whats done in training and also interact with players
One thing I'd really love is for SI to make the editor more player friendly.
I have downloaded a load of leagues from all around the world so my save has leagues for pretty much every country in the world and they include the lower leagues where applicable. However, up until recently I wasn't able to find a download for the Welsh leagues so I could have playable teams in the Ardal leagues and below, so I attempted to set up the Welsh lower leagues myself ....... I got very frustrated very quickly. There are times where you think should i tick that box, but you haven't got a clue because there's no hints anywhere or explanations what ticking the box will do etc.
I would like to see an adaption to the game where you can be the owner/chairman of a club, so you make decisions based on the future of the club, hiring managers etc, Sponsorship, building new stadiums.
player faces kits logos make it more attractive?!
As a player on both Xbox and pc I think the base version is clunky on Xbox and it doesn’t flow. I also wanna see the ability to send your players to warm up on the touch line so for example if you wanna bring on Jadon sancho off the bench you should be able to send him for a more vigorous warm up and bring him back.
As there will be a new match engine, i would love a new, more precise tactics system, where you could choose more precise attacking or defending zones, maybe a free movment tactic instead of having the predefined places on the field screen. A new system where you could train spesific aspects of your team for a certain match, as it could be to train long shots if you play against a low block team. A system where you give even more depth to the tactics to push the new engine to the max capacity
1. National teams are in need of an overhaul. I think you should be able to train them, when the players come from their clubs to the national teams. Especially during a world cup or the continental cups.
2. I want to manage women teams, since womens football is becoming more popular.
3. Upgrading your facilities should be a bit easier, when your club has all the money in the world. Even If your club has over a billion in the bank, they might refuse to upgrade youth facilities or youth coaching in this years game.
My board although tell me, that they don't want to improve youth coaching, because I have so many young players already, while upgrading youth recruitment is No Problem...
4. The club reputation system might need an upgrade. I think the competitions and the league your club is playing in should have a bigger Impact. I think players should prefere to play in a higher league or in the continental club competitions, than to play for club with a higher reputation, who plays in a lover league.
Women's football isn't becoming more popular. It's becoming more forced down your throat.
Point 4 - haven't found a "lover league" yet. Where can I take part?
I hope they fix the advanced statistics. Half of them seem to be completely broken.
Hello. I propose the inclusion of cautions and ejections during the match for the coach who complains too much or comes out of the technical area and the consequent overheating of the match atmosphere. I suggest inserting goalkeeper fouls into the match so as to cause penalties in the box, hand fouls outside the box resulting in cautions or expulsions. I propose to include injuries even during rehabilitation or rest day (obviously this should happen very rarely) such as virus, cold, flu for example.
I would also suggest the fact that footballers rarely miss taking corner kicks (the ball does not go in after taking it). I propose to include the punitive withdrawal decided by the football club if the team does badly and gets bad results over a certain period of time. I propose the following feature in the game: give a yellow card to the player who takes off his shirt after scoring a goal
I´d love to have a semi-automatic option for some features, especially for something you have to do for every single player in your squad. Don´t get me wrong. I love that FM is so complex but sometimes you just want to play a season or a tournament faster. Lets be honest: Some procedures are just exhausting click-work. So a semi-automatic alternative for this time-consuming click tasks would be great.
Or as an alternative a kind of "FM light" for the PC version. I don´t like playing on the smartphone.
They should implement NEWGAN to the actual FM. I believe.
Things that as far as i know are not announced.
1- As you said, all menus have to be redone. It's a must to use a skin and the base skin is useless.
2-Redone all advanced stats. Stats are very important in football and stats per90 min more. It's needed a complete rebuild. Also stats should not disappear between seasons.
3-See the develop of staff the same as with players.
If FM25 is anything like the last games I will not be buying it, it needs a total revamp its like I've been playing the same game for the last 10-15 years...
deffinetly the whole graphics aspect of the game can be improved... Newgens faces, 3d match, look of the game... but these things are visuals. I've been playing since 93 and my main issue is that at some point there is always some weird unrealistic tactic that bugs the game and makes you score goals like crazy... and on the other side the defensive park the bus tactics seem a lot less effective. we have just seen Real Madrid win the champions league by being very solid and compact... this should be a possibility in the game...
I've seen teams win with basically 1-2 midfielders and just packing a team full of strikers, reminds me too much of CM93 where you would overload the attack and win... make defending more effective
Kit deals and being able to change the shirt each season.
I am not sure the Unity game engine was the right choice, but a non-interactive game today can be photorealistic. Apart from graphics, my requests would be: less woodwork, remove that stupid offside action when a player passes back to the corner taker and stop that idiotic constant request for new contracts with a random answer that make it null
one thing i would like to see is when you post a job advert it builds up would like if you can remove ones that dont meet the cut instead it just builds up which is annoying not the top of my list tho i agree transfers AI not great needs more tweaking still getting some low ball offers also would like to see a section with relationships with other clubs like in real life good connections can help in future deals same as bad ones would be cool to see may go re play it and might see other stuff i would like to see
All i’d want would be to take control of a real manager, this would help so much with immersion.
Then graphics upgrade.
A little small tweak to AI
I'd like Fm 25 to put in commentary in when you watch the highlights. Would be cool
• Injuries overhaul
The current system just isn’t realistic.
You should have situations where players are carrying knocks / niggles that need to be managed game to game and over training sessions.
• Fatigue matters
Having a team dead on their feet at the end of a game should matter - and seen to be the case in the match engine.
• Power to setup in game tactical scenarios
You should be able to setup priorities / mentalities for stages of the game.
You may want to keep it tight for the first 15.
Maybe you want to start the half fast in order to catch the opposition cold?
How are stadiums treated in the game? I’d like to see more variety as far as they’re concerned. Nothing major, but more and better.
Major commercial and financial overhaul. Actually be able to set prices for food tix ect. Instead of generally upgrading the ground overall it should be in sections (field, stands, locker rooms, stores)
New stadium designer. Would love input into what can be done at X cost and you mold it to that X dollar figure. Those inputs impact your revenue. Would love to min/max new revenue, especially for legacy runs. This goes hand-in-hand with training/youth facilities. The current system sucks, you ask and have no idea the impact to your budget or the value it would bring. In par with the new stadium idea, spend X and min/max it without breaking the bank. I'd also like a pay off existing loans when more cash comes in i.e. player sale(s). Would love way more input into all finances so I can see the impact instead of some end of year email with an arbitrary figure amount for transfer and wages.
First i would like to hear from SI if we even still using the Unity after the all crap that they did.
now that I said that, what I really want to see in the new one, beside the obvious like match engine and faces etc.
is the ability to actual have a meaning in your job, make money, get a place, save money etc..
maybe you got to the point where you have millions of dollars and you want to actually buy a team from the lower leagues and be a owner/manager get them up with the option since you the owner figure out how to actually build the stadium up, work on a new training grounds, have decision about the new uniforms for the season etc. all the stuff that owners do beside just say yes build a new stadium and have no actual input on it. i want more indept about the club itself.
or maybe even instead of buying a lower club, spend money and make your own club and start at the lowest possible tier and go from there.
there are so many options.
also another thing I would love to have would be the ability to have multiple option for year start, I don't want to go and play fm 22 again if I want to start at that year. they already have the data for previous years, why not have the option to start in this year or one of the previous years?
Dynamic potential! If you have a good tactic and insert a decent young player with a low ceiling, have that player increase their PA dynamically if they play very well consistently, even though he wasn't viewed as a high ceiling player to begin with (think of a player like Quansah, for example)! Recruitment centers accross the world. FFS, make your organizational culture matter when you develop players and recruit.
