Just wondering how everyone feels as I am struggling to really love one of my saves and get invested. Is this the new UI, changes in the match engine or something else?

Wondering if anyone else has had this and is now figured it out or what peoples thoughts are?
Yes.
I mainly play fm 26 to emulate tactics and I test each tactic for one season only.
But when I tried to do a savegame I easily got tired of it and changed team maybe because the player transfers became so difficult since FM 24 with the fact that IA teams always offer less than 50% than your player value
I'm trying to make it fun, but I’ve been annoyed by the fact that I can’t use keyboard shortcuts assign by me; therefore navigation is painful.

The scaling is way broken in my opinion.

I think playing on the normal version is too easy, so I temporarily abandoned my Talavera save. If I compare it to the Dover save, it was much easier to get players. In the Dover save, I sometimes offered players twice as much as another team and they still chose them. Also, I’m not sure what is going on with the fact that at 9am there is no offer for a player, so I don’t make offer myself (as I’m waiting for cash flow), and then at 9pm the guy signs for a club. There wasn’t even a bid for him.

TikiTaka, you were saying that you got fewer offers for players in this FM? I had a guy, got him for free, and received an offer of 300 (his value was 950), so I cancelled it but asked the agent about his interest. He came back and told me there were offers for about 800, so I asked him to invite them. Then five clubs came in at the same time. I raised the bid to 1.1 and three of them accepted. This was before the update.

Generally, the gameplay is much quicker. I avoid the training section and scouting as well (can’t afford this anyway). Getting staff is annoying. The filters keep changing; in FM24 you could have different settings for each shortlist, and now it is one for all of them.


Why they just didn't told the console players to get mouse and keyboard for better gameplay.
