I’ve been playing a management career up to round 24. I decided to try a season game and holy shit the gameplay is so much better. I can’t explain how much more enjoyable it is.

Is that not normal though, shouldn’t whatever mode it is your playing play the same? Very strange

Could be an issue with patch not updating the management mode properly. Issues for saves after patches in games are pretty common

How’s this for a stitch up of a set shot. I can’t kick a goal from straight in front but can somehow kick this one.

Goal kicking is definitely my favourite feature of this game because of miracles exactly like this!!

Still wish you could run around on the opposite and snap instead of the check side
Or at least have the option for both

Can I update player overalls on Steam then transfer them across to console for manager mode? Is that possible

You’d need to upload the teams to community then download them

Just saw this on Reddit and thought to copy and paste here for any aggrieved purchaser from the PS Store;

"PS STORE REFUND

tl;dr - initially denied refund but held firm and eventually obtained said refund.

Full story- I genuinely tried to enjoy this game but despite the 17289173 patches and promises of improvement I gave up last week and decided to attempt to obtain a refund.

I purchased directly from the PS store and requested a refund using the live chat. Initially they refused, saying that the developers have released multiple patches and have a roadmap for further improvements. They also mentioned their policies about returns of downloaded content. I didn’t accept this response - mainly because I paid for a fully functional game at launch, not a broken game with minor fixes drip fed to me at random intervals.

They then asked me to list what was currently wrong with the game. This was rather comical but, as I was already beginning to get frustrated, I decided to have some fun and list literally every single little thing I could think of that was wrong with the game.I was then told a refund could only be obtained once the “specialists” team had investigated. Now, I assumed that this was to verify the veracity of the extensive list of defects and when I asked the chat support person to confirm this, we had the following exchange:

PS: someone will get back to you in 2 business days
ME: okay but is it standard to escalate the matter before issuing a refund:
PS: someone will contact you in 2 business days
ME: okay, what is the reason that it has been escalated? Do you have the authority, generally speaking, to issue refunds or do these cases always get escalated?
PS: someone will contact you in 2 business days

Now for this brief moment I didn’t even care about the refund so much as I was annoyed that a simple question could be answered.

I then asked why I’m expected to wait when this is clearly a consumer law issue, namely because the goods aren’t fit for purpose and it’s clear that it hasn’t been made with due care, skill and diligence. The response? “Now that you’ve mentioned the law our legal team will be investigating and will contact you in the coming week”.

End of chat. No opportunity for further communication.

I decided to give them the 2 business days to respond before emailing the complaints thing on day 3. In my email I attached a copy of the chat thread (I exported this when the session was abruptly ended) and voiced my overall displeasure with the handling of the situation.

About 2 more days went by before I received an email which simply said that my refund had been processed as a “once-off gesture of goodwill”.

I only share this to highlight that if anyone is feeling aggrieved that Bog Ant has taken your money and provided a sub-par product, you CAN obtain a refund - even if you ordered directly from the PS store. The same rules apply to physical purchases - company policies regarding refund timelines DO NOT override the provisions of the ACL.

I genuinely hope that this game is eventually fixed to a point where it is consistently enjoyable, but until that time I refuse to let the good folk at Big Ant take me for a ride."

I thought we couldn’t use community teams in manager mode, only season?

Some people really need to get a life

I get that $90 can be a lot of money to some but this is next level obsession (to be clear, I’m referring to whoever posted this originally on reddit)

Man that's lucky. I went back and forth with them for about 6 months trying to get a refund for battlefield. They ended up threatening to ban my account so I stopped.

Sometimes it’s not about the money it’s about the principle of the situation or how strongly you believe in things. Everyone has a right to voice their opinion or thoughts…some will and some won’t agree with you!

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Meanwhile if you buy physical you can just return it to JB or EB and get your money back 30 seconds later.

Exactly. If anything, It shows why I prefer Physical Copies. Not only do I have something I can put in a collection but if it doesn't work or is not up to scratch, I can return it for my money back.

It seems like trying to get a refund for digital copies is a massive hassle... Not the main reason I stick to physical but certainly a factor I must admit.

Slow night on here. I guess everyone is playing the game.

Yeah me too, I was stoked when it went through haha

Final Fantasy XVI for me until the next PS5 patch.

Kind of pointless having injuries to only your reserve players tho
You select your best 23 for a reason and if they’re not getting injured, then it doesn’t matter if the other 22 players in the reserves are all injured at the same time.
Hopefully this will be addressed next week

Not really though, given your best 23 will change depending on ‘form’, match-ups v certain teams, experimenting with different players etc.. I get your point though with injuries during game. What do you think the best way to alert them would be? On screen alert mid game, inbox alert, included in the end of game summary like the AFL app?

Has to be on screen during the game, so you notice and can adjust things accordingly (or activate the sub ... If it's working).

Notification in the corner for a minor injury and/or player has a red circle around them as seen in other games.
If more severe injury that requires a sub interchange pops up on screen requiring you to make the change.

Sounds perfect

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Sounds perfect

Something like a hammy could come under the minor one but player impact is down (can’t sprint, kick distance lower etc) so you could choose to make the sub. But an ACL or concussion for example is straight off
