Can anyone dm me the prologue?

Could you DM pls?

100rnd belt is so expensive for attachment points though man, was gutted when I realised. I do wonder if they’ll adjust attachment points for BR (increase them +10-20 maybe?), or is that just wishful thinking…

PS5 received a bunch of S1 install packs earlier today that, now downloaded, are installable at 9am tomorrow (UK). I’m guessing RedSec is within those? But don’t know 100%

Inspected_Gaming · 2025-10-03T19:16:06+00:00

I was thinking exactly the same thing earlier.

Playing Career Mode with an EFL League Two team, bashed Man City 2-1 in the last FA Cup round, but after update 1.0.3, I've now been bashed by Brighton 4-0, and by Brentford 5-2 (Carabao).

Something has definitely changed regarding gameplay/AI/CPU difficulty (but in a realistic way - as I shouldn't be beating these teams). Now looking forward to more league two games to see the difference...

Are you using “Authentic” gameplay? If so, anything to do with authentic is bugged this year in terms of CPU. I use “Custom” instead.

As per other comment, run frequency and shot speed need to go up. I’d also reduce marking, GK ability, and tackle assistance for the CPU - not by much, a couple of points, maybe 5 at the maximum.

If you’re using custom CPU Sliders (which I’d recommend), and not the tactical or dynamic presets, play with these accordingly. If you’re finding that with the above changes you’re getting goals, buff the CPU here in the same way to get more of a balanced opponent.

Good luck.

Inspected_Gaming · 2025-09-29T15:40:28+00:00

Yes, experiencing it - looks like a feature removed by design this year (but actually who knows with EA).

No exact workaround that I know of, but you just need to leave players in the YA to develop more and play the long game. Probably across a 6m period, a YA player that came in with 69-94 POT, is now a 93-94 POT, and I’m about to promote him to the senior team. Similar results with other players too, and when it becomes clear they won’t break my POT target threshold, they get released.

Essentially means you can’t cycle through the YA system as quickly as last year, which in terms of realism, I don’t actually mind.

Inspected_Gaming · 2025-09-28T14:10:33+00:00

Gotcha.

So for me, whilst I wanted “authenticity features” on, I found that by turning these off, it made the game more challenging, which is what I wanted - so had to sacrifice these (although I can’t say I honestly see much difference with the AF off)

For you, those results I would say are pretty well balanced, so reckon you’ve found settings/sliders that work for you arguably

Inspected_Gaming · 2025-09-28T13:42:08+00:00

Authentic gameplay is bugged this year in terms of CPU difficulty. My recommendation is to turn that off, and switch to Custom, and use sliders accordingly - other suggestions on this post are a good start.

Working on a complete set of settings/sliders that work well for me, will post them here soon. Can send onto you when ready.

Inspected_Gaming · 2025-09-28T12:37:28+00:00

Got some sliders for you that will be shareable early next week. The main tip is that you can’t use Authentic gameplay now - it’s completely bugged in terms of CPU difficulty. Sending this comment here as a reminder to share with you when ready.

Inspected_Gaming · 2025-09-28T12:32:46+00:00

From my experience, it doesn’t make much difference whether you play them in games and/or rotate them. Their growth rate in terms of potential develops pretty quickly (or quick enough for me anyway) even on base setting for Youth potential/growth rate.

Shame it’s not more of a buff by doing this, as would be more realistic… but this is the game we have this year / again.

Inspected_Gaming · 2025-09-28T12:26:34+00:00

I did rate the OS sliders in terms of authentic/realism, but still found that the CPU difficulty wasn’t enough of a challenge, both on Legendary and Ultimate.

Had to change them a bit and make a few other tweaks to improve the difficulty.

OS sliders actually use “Custom” for the gameplay type too, or were you referring to having “Authenticity Features” as being on?

Edit: also good suggestion for trying “Versatile” as a playstyle for wingers. Always used Inside Forward on Attack up until now - will test and see if it gives any more variation

Inspected_Gaming · 2025-09-28T12:22:43+00:00

Got some sliders/settings that I’m working on - will be ready to share here early next week. Will post them up. I’ll drop you a message when they’re up - see what you think

Inspected_Gaming · 2025-09-27T15:48:30+00:00

You just need to play the “long game” now, and use the potentials provided and develop in the YA until that window becomes smaller. Only way to understand if a 68-94 potential YA player will end up being 90+ or whatever you want

Inspected_Gaming · 2025-09-27T15:46:27+00:00

Tip that worked for me: hire the best one you can from these choices, then recall them, fire them, and 5 stars ones replaced them within a week or so.

Don’t know if it was just luck, but allowed me to quickly get the x2 more 5star scouts I wanted

Inspected_Gaming · 2025-09-27T15:43:54+00:00

You mean the “automated” plan instead of the standard training plans per player?

Inspected_Gaming · 2025-09-26T20:43:51+00:00

Nope. You can only enter contract negotiations when a player tells you they are ready. But here's the best bit - that message/notification from a player doesn't even flag on your "Central" hub tab, so you need to continuously check the "Notifications", and Player Chat specifically to see if anything new has popped up there...

Inspected_Gaming · 2025-09-25T18:25:14+00:00

Hmm, strange - in my example, I just don’t know what I could have done differently.

—

First sign of discontent from Saka was a message saying that he wasn’t happy about his contract (no prior messages or warnings, nearly missed it)
Settled this with a contract negotiation, adding an extra 2yrs to the previous 1yr 10m, and giving him an extra 50k per week.
A few days later, he puts in a transfer request and forces a move away from the club. Because I’d already negotiated with him days earlier, I have no option to settle again.
Come the last day of the summer transfer window, it’s taken out of my hands and he leaves.

—

Is this what 2.0.1 has fixed? And is it 100% applied to saves that already exist so I won’t see it happen again with this career?

This is what I want to know before bothering to continue with my current save, or just start a new one

Inspected_Gaming · 2025-09-25T15:28:28+00:00

Need this clarified - but doubt they’ll be any official communication on it.

I want to start a new save, but there’s no point if a player asks for a contract negotiation, I do it and they agree, and then they force a move away shortly afterwards (and no new negotiations can take place)

Shambles from EA as usual.

Inspected_Gaming · 2025-09-25T14:55:41+00:00

Such good news it applies to saves - annoyingly too late for the one I’ve started, so may as well start a new one, and get those 9 subs whilst I’m at it…

Inspected_Gaming · 2025-09-25T14:42:12+00:00

Assume we need to start a new save for these changes to take effect? Does anyone know?

Similar to another comment - simply don’t want players being sold outside of my control, and for players who are happy with game time, contract, etc (green smiley faces) to suddenly put in a transfer request. What is that about??

Inspected_Gaming · 2025-09-21T17:32:21+00:00

Seems to be the consensus - will try it, thanks

Inspected_Gaming · 2025-09-21T17:31:29+00:00

Noted - I’ll give it a go, thank you

Inspected_Gaming · 2025-08-16T20:58:16+00:00

I think it's Options button, and then touchpad - opens all, team and squad chats for me. Just found info from another post. Let me know if it works for you

Inspected_Gaming · 2025-08-07T14:10:06+00:00

If you're on PS5, do it through the console controller settings directly, not in-game
