Football Manager 2023 Review (DrJinx)
So many bugs still, 1.5 years after release.
You literally cannot avoid getting news about players on a shortlist, even when setting it to inactive for news and trying to unfollow the players manually, The unfollow option does nothing for shortlisted players. Have fun getting notifications about every single offer (etc., etc.) for every single yet-unscouted brazilian 15 year old.
Also just lost my GK with no proper backup on the last day of the January transfer window because the game ignored the "End of season" clause I put in (and locked). Loaded the backup autosave to check if I missed something - nope, renegotiate transfer and it's set to go through in July but he is immediately transferred anyway. First time I've scumsaved since I was a kid, lol. But just Alt+F4'd when it happened again... Absolutely game ruining bug to not be able to trust that the negotiated settings are actually used in transfers.
And that's in addition to all the little quality of life bugs that are frustrating rather than impactful, such as the in-match tile I had set to show my team morale suddenly being unable to remember the setting after going the the dressing room screen or opp. instructions. So you have to scroll down on the tile setting again after every. single. time. you've made changes there. And after half time and at beginning of match. This bug wasn't there in the beginning, it just appeared one day and has persisted since.
Kinda wanna go back to FM19 (last one I bought), though I am digging the updates to youth development and training that has been made since then. Definitely don't want to put more hours into this save for a while.
