The in-match presets will save a ton of clicking and time. Old way was going into the tactic and constantly clicking/changing to what one of these clicks can do. And I don't have to pause the game to do so, it's all on the go. It's fantastic. I'm hoping we can edit them too.

We...might be back?!

Maybe it’s my aging eyes, but I’m sure there were occasions there where that looked like real life football. Don’t want to get too excited but…..I’m impressed.

I know I said it was over last week, but after seeing that deep dive I’m ready to claim that we are so back boys 😭😭

How cool would it be if when an opposing manager does a shout or tactical tweak we audibly heard it. IMMERSION! When a team does something you are likely going to want to counter that. If you are not listening to sounds you may miss the assistants suggestion.

When shouts were first introduced in FM (whichever version it was, can't remember), they were actually tweaks that adjusted certain team instructions. Then in later FM version SI changed them to motivational and moral shouts and removed the tweaking instructions bit. Now they are bringing them back alongside shouts and both are now available for the whole team and for individual players.
I'm more intrigued by the two new individual players instructions for attacking the penalty box. Also, very intrigued and curious to see the next deep dive about Training, Tactic Effectiveness and how both relate to the tactical side and the match engine.
I like what I see so far, so hopefully that trend continues with the next deep dive reveal.

i think maybe it'll be if you get someone to attack front post the player based on anticipation and decision will decide when to attack the front post

Even though I said I will definitely not preorder, I might just do it😅

923 Perhaps the Individual Tweaks work like individual shouts, so instead of asking everyone to press aggressively, you're asking just a single player or a group of players, rather than having some native things just for players compared to team.

RDF: where do you see a useful heatmap IRL without knowing if the opponent pressed???

@jox84 1 day ago

I think the Tactical Tweaks are really good. It's not too many. They all make sense and are common things. And as someone who uses a lot of full match highlights, it simplifies my tweaking than having to open up Tactics and opening up even more popups to make my changes. I will use those a lot and some tweaks might become permanent tactical changes after a match.

I do hope the dugout advice are improved. As mentioned in the video, often times it's just "Okay. What do you want me to do about it?". The context of the advice is missing and I can rarely make any good judgement of the merit of the advice.
Using the Dugout instead of the 2D map is a good idea if possible!

Another episode where Aaron keeps jumping in while someone is trying to explain a point.

Everything si are talking about with stamina being nerfed and smarter ai managers are already covered and done very well by FM Match Lab and Daveincid.

@deejinlondon7285 14 hours ago

I am playing FM26 whilst listening to/watching these videos, and I can't help but think (and hope) that SI needs to improve whatever mechanism within the game that controls the management and decision making of the computer managed teams - it is poor, surprisingly poor. So many teams with some money to spend are just so inactive in trying to improve their team (and in the right areas). In my game I can see quite a few players available on a free, there are many players available to loan, and teams do nothing. Even if they provide a toggle option for players to choose based on difficulty level/level of team management, passive-aggressive in the transfer market. I really hope for improvement in this area.

More QOL features - welcome features - but still. Small, sensible things. But FM27 still doesn't have a new headline feature, no new system. While the positive incremental changes might help word of mouth, I cannot see it the cornerstone of their marketing, because it is so little.
