To make tactical view more interesting, put the half length to minimum (I think it's 3 minutes) and put the difficulty to max. It will make both teams better, so won't affect results but will be better quality to watch
When you go to the squad tab in home. You can create team sheets. You can basically create a second and third team. So when you're playing against an easy side. You can skip to the match day and select which team you want to play with. Do you want to play with your first team or second team. You can also label it so It doesn't get confusing.
The cutaways can ALWAYS be skipped! :) Hold A on the controller and it will skip to the next scene, you can hold A a lot more than you think and it makes the gameplay faster
i do like how EA have animated all the fancy flicks you could ask for, but every time someone dribbles with the ball they look like they've never seen a football before and they're scared it's going to explode.
Dribbling looked so much better in past versions. It's stuff like this that feeds the 'conspiracy theories' about EA deliberately downgrading features so they can artificially upgrade them for next version...
I don’t know if it’s changed this year but in every other career mode, simming matches is pretty much just random. The amount of times I’ve been one of the best teams in the world with the best players only to get beat at home to bottom of the league… then beat someone in the UCL 3-0… it’s like the tactics, roles, quality etc just doesn’t matter when simming games
I'm loving this series. As far as I know, there's no way to have the stats display while you're watching tactical view, but there's lots of great details in the "Match Facts" and "Performance" tabs in the pause menu
Catches the ball at 66:38, rolls out it out at 68:20. Bit extreme on the old time wasting from Raya, but he was helping cling on to a 3-1 lead I guess. What a game lol.
Been playing FM since it was Champ Manager and never thought I needed more than it offered but this sets the bar high for FM25 I love the depth of FM but it needs the interactions like this game has as they look much more meaningful and less likely you just spam space bar
To make permanent changes to your line up use the Team Tactics on the main menu and to make temperary changes (ie for that match only), as others have said, press "Y" for Team Management BEFORE Kick Off. Hope this helps.
If you want to focus more on bringing in talents from the academy, I suggest you look for players with 80+ potential. And another thing. Don't sell them or cut their contract just because they have a really low rating, cause If they have a potential of 80+ they'll reach that potential within the ages of 20-24 depending on how much you play them. And I suggest you give them a-lot of game time like 5 matches when they're called up to senior team, so they'll have 'good form'. So when you loan them out like the first season they're called up, they'll get lots of game time in their new club, as the game tends to play players who are in form, regardless of their rating.
Quick Sim has been broken forever. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to accurately reflect team stats or tactics into account. Its very random. Its actually what got me into FM years ago. I wanted to do a save where I managed the team but didnt do the gameplay, and I couldn't in Fifa.
Yes. The longer the video, the fewer people watch to the end, which then impacts the number of people UA-cam show the video to, and ultimately leads to the series dying!
I don’t think anyone actually expected simming fifa career mode to be as good as fm, but the fact that quick sim randomly produces results and doesn’t really take into effect the quality of the players is ridiculous.
You have way too many defenders in your bench. I would recommend you keep Neto (GK) in the reserves, and have 1-2 wing backs on the bench, 2 CB's, 2 CM, 2 Wingers and 1 ST on the bench.
you complete interviews as a way to keep your players happy... the goal in EA FC is to keep the players and club at maximum happiness, poor morale imparts negative buffs to in game player stats and the reverse for positive morale👍
I usually pick up FIFA/EA FC on sale each year but I've become pretty disillusioned with Career Mode, which is why I mostly play FM now. Last year I mostly played the Be a Pro mode since you can't get that anywhere else. I've heard the youth development is a little better this year in Career Mode, but so much still looks the same. All those awkward silent negotiations & press conferences, not enough subs on the bench, clunky menus... Any improvements are so small & the major issues take forever to get addressed. I hate that eFootball dropped the balls so hard & that there's so little competition in the market.

If you want to change your team before a match you press Y cause it says team management
watching in tactical view is the best way forward rather than quick sim :)

Man I hope FM looks this good on the pitch. It's all I've ever wanted really.

yep. the sim in ea fc is absolutely horrendous from god knows when. the algorithm is just basically a flip coin, whichever lands that team loses

As an FM lover, I love your FC25 content while we wait for FM 2025.. lol! EA improved career mode on the FC25... It's good to see.
Good work

Glad to hear we've all helped with the player exchanges 👍. Keep up the good work with this and FM 💪
You can make it 4 mins halfs in the settings.

Really enjoying this series might actually get FC25 just to do this
With all the scarring he's doing, I figure Rice is running around with a knife or something on the pitch.

3D view needs a speed setting. Or what would be perfect would be 2D mode with goal highlights in 3D
Loved the ‘bit’ at the beginning

Are longer episodes really an issue? Tactical view is definitely more enjoyable to watch
Yes. The longer the video, the fewer people watch to the end, which then impacts the number of people UA-cam show the video to, and ultimately leads to the series dying!
@@lollujo damn, I must be in the minority then cause I prefer longer videos, tiktok is killing people's attention spans 😂
😂😂😂😂
Kevin is Hilarious
I enjoyed the intro!

Come on Kev, do the Peterborough Sports rebuild on FC25. You know you want to!
Maybe it's the Aliens messing with your beard the same way they attacked small stadiums in FM
To manage fitness set automatic training to train fitness if under 60% and sharpness if under 60%. You won’t have to bother doing it manually.
That Yoro business is an example of how broken career mode still is
You can change kits before matches in the edit screen
When people talk about UIs being dumbed down for tablets and consoles, this is exactly what they mean.

You can advance instead of going to press conference at the end of game if you want to skip it
I love this series. Please can we have longer videos and have 4/5 matches at once.
No. I’m actively trying to make the videos shorter. Long videos in let’s play series are a bad idea viewer retention wise
You mentioned yesterday about playing some of the games. However, I feel it kind of makes it feel like cheating taking the management aspect away.
kev the fc manager!
why is kev mgr beard blinkin like a christmas tree? fm aliens moved to fc and settled on his beard?

this man has played football manager for more than half of his life but he doesnt recognise sociedad's logo
The team that famously haven’t been licensed in FM forever?
Real San Sebastian 😂
The glitch must be your grey hair coming through 😂
Kev would do n exchange for a wagamamas and still over pay 😆 make a 2nd team sheet and that’s the easiest way or rotating
much better watching in 2d view
It says team management on the screen but got to press Y to change anything before the match
Not sure playing a counter formation with arsenal is the solution
Isn't the beard thing camera flashes in your press conference?
Did anyone tell you that the sign 4 players youth academy thing is literally sign them TO the the academy NOT to the first team?
That would make it easy and requires you actually read things properly as you go 😂
Just play less minutes each match . Possibly less goals in a game but the time will go quicker.
PRESSSSSS Y 😂😂
long video is good
Gabriel is a left footed centre back play right side , please change it’s bugging me 😂
3D is good
Am I the only one who sees the arsenal kit as pink?! Watching on ipad but all other reds are red, like the yt app, progress bar etc….
EA doesn't do anything with career mode, all their focus is on ultimate team cause that's where the money is and that's all greedy EA care about.
i will not get football manager 25 this year i will get FM 26 instead
Please swap Gabriel and Saliba
First one, like the comment
