    Definitely agree, I feel they've focused a lot on the wrong things and there's a lot they can improve but it feels like they're doing the classic yearly update move of doing things in phases so that they have a "big" update each year when it would be definitely be possible to combine feature updates into one version. Set-pieces have been the same for years (pants) and need a major upgrade imo (as well as dedicated set-piece staff), I hate the new scouting updates compared to the older versions of FM (although I guess they're more realistic). The amount of rotation you have to do to make sure players stay fit is ridiculous. I feel the tactics system is too complex. I like a challenge but it just all feels too hard and boring.

    I'm doing okay with my Watford save in FM23. Flogged off Kabasele, Flap-man and WTE in pre-season. Installed Okoye as no.1 and bought in Szymon Zurkowski, Josh Onomah and Felix Passlack. We're currently 2nd behind Narch.

    Also, Jeremy Ngakia is keeping out Mario, he's decent in FM23.

    Not sure if the deal is available in the UK or not, but Football Manager 2023 is available to claim for free on Amazon Prime in the US at the moment.

    Worth a look if you have UK prime and don't have FM 2023.

    FM24 beta is out - hire me as your set-piece coach! Wish Chelsea + Liverpool were interested IRL!

    Got a 13 in set-pieces which isn't bad (set-piece coach at Man Utd has 16...)!

    Every year I say nah not this time, I’ll leave it another year before I buy the next version of FM as I don’t play it nearly as much anymore, and yet…

    Same, I've barely played (7 hours + 4 hours) the last couple of versions, yet still buy it everytime.

    When I get the game, I’ll bring you into my set piece team. Who knows, maybe after a few seasons, the FM version of you may make it as the next Watford manager! I’ll keep you posted

    What are our players stats like? I know our younger players such as James Morris and Ryan Andrews were utter dross in FM 23, perhaps their stats/potential may have improved since they’re playing more regularly for us?

    I miss playing FM, but the third kid coming along did it for me.

    Every now and again on a Friday night I’ll crack open CM01/02, line up the beers, and blast through a few seasons once the family are in bed.

    Whenever I’m home in the UK, it’s inevitable that pub talk leads to Champ nostalgia stories. My career may be over now, but I’ll always have the memories.

    @reids accurate? Jovial? Mind games? Sadly in my game Chelsea snapped you up, I think the choice of them and me (at Slough Town) wasn't a tough one for you to make.

    I feel this Luke, having a couple of the little ones myself doesn't help. I kid myself I'll play, but I just won't have the time and by Christmas I'm sure the dust will be gathering on the (imaginary) box once more!

    Think that must be randomised as my personality in my save is "fairly determined"!

    Mind games is accurate, the way he handles the hooter in the politics section shows this.

    Is the new version any good beyond doxxing our Reids? Heard they’d shoved a few extra things in before they change the match engine.

    I haven't played the Beta yet and will await the release on the 6th. I have XBox Game Pass so get it for nowt each year. I will be sure to snap up @reids in my save.

    I do like the sound of the set piece coaching but the tiresome press conferences and training schedules still continue in FM24 yawn.

    Anyone still playing FM14?

    The match engine is so much better in FM24 than 23. I am still getting used to the minor tweaks but it definitely feels better than last year in most ways. Unfortunately, you have some poor stats in my game Reids.
