Stupid glitch, player swap deals and loan with an option/obligation
okpekete
So I really enjoy playing this game, infact i think I'm addicted to it but there’s this really annoying outright Stupid glitch that happens and considering how important in game management is has caused me a vital game in my title race. My defending goes from High press and Balance to Balanced and Aggressive on its own and boom i concede immediately that happens its so annoying because it happens randomly and i never realize until its too late and Ive conceded already. Please look into it. Also i think the transfer dealing need a revamp, players should be able to propose swap deals and loan with the option/obligation to make the move permanent that would be amazing. Please work on this as well, other than these the game is really amazing.
Good game

The game is interesting but instead of it to get better than other versions , I see this getting worse . My players who are winning become angry at me for no reason . My goalkeeper who is rated 92 ends up dropping a worse performance than the opponents goalkeeper rated 79 . This is very annoying and doesn’t make sense , my team performs woefully whenever they like even against inferior opponents and their goalkeepers ends up dropping the greatest performances ever . Pls look into this as it’s getting me annoyed and I know I’m not the only one affected
The board buying your players
I love this🫠
Hey ftm! I have been playing your game for long in fact since 2019 which was csd and this version is much more easier and fun to play. The only thing I don’t like about the game is how can a lower team beat me 5-2 in champions league it doesn’t really make sense try to make it more realistic. And the other thing is the about the board buying players without asking you like us not nice at all all the money I projected the board always uses it to buy players after all I don’t have any complaint of this game just find the bugs thank you!

You’ve done a great job so far. I started playing this game in 2023 and it has been amazing. But I’d like to suggest a few improvements:Please update the German league players’ names.Since we are managers, it would be great if we could manage national teams as well.Introduce competitions like the World Cup.Allow us to see a player’s awards and overall stats on their profile. That way, we won’t sign players just because of high ratings.
Major Player and staff data update to include the major winter transfer window and all staff movements up to March 2026.
