I mean asking you to move from one position and go 20 yards sideways, im not asking you to perform brain surgery. And the coach saying i doubt he will be able to learn this, its not worth it. Stuff like having to train a player to be able to move from the outside of the pitch inwards for example, and it take him 6 months to work this out. A low block is a low block, it should work the same across all versions, end of. When people say things like 'low blocks are good this year'.that instantly suggests the game is bad to me because it implies low blocks must have been worse a previous year. I think some elements of the game are pretty silly to be honest. Now he isnt worldclass, but surely you dont need to be manuel neuer to kick the ball vaguely into a straight line? I have a big tall target forward in my team (jumping reach 19, strenght and balance 14), so i ask the keeper to distribute to him. Yet i have conceded about 4-5 goals this season where an indirect free kick was passed to an unmarked player at the edge of the box.This has been an issue for at least since fm21 and hasnt been fixed For every defensive free kick, i have at least 1 or two players on the edge of the area. On the other hand, there are definitly some inexplainable things happening that warrant frustration two simple examples.

And then its important to distinguish that because you were lucky, you suddenly have found the magic key/tactic that will fix everything. And sometimes the rng just goes badly, and sometimes good. You cant expect to make lorient become the dominant power house in france in 3 years, Or win a serie A title with monza right away. So there are power comparisons to be respected.

On the one side its still a simulator based on real life. If you manage a top team, you win in spite of your tactics, because your players are just very good. I just wanted to ask (and given this forum is hardcore players probably not) does anyone ever get this burnout type feeling? It just feels like you immerse yourself in knowledge and know about real football, and yet STILL never get any better at the game, it just gets draining to the point of ive no idea who to manage or what to do. And it usually manifests itself in me wanting to manage in countries I know nothing about, so a defeat doesnt hurt because I dont know what the real game between those teams would look like. Its the feeling of losing games and not being able to do anything about it thats bogging me down. And, as in real life football, often they cant. Success or failure isnt solely down to my competency at the game, success depends on the players in the game carrying out what I want them to do effectively. I think my problem is unlike 99.9% of computer games, im not in control of what goes on in the game. I dont mean this to come over as a rant, but im not enjoying this version of FM very much, and im starting to not really enjoy the game itself very much anymore.
