My 2 Cents on FC 27’s new CM: They’re headed in the right direction, but it’s extremely flawed
First off, I’d like to state that I’m all for more realism in CM. Dynamic OVR, great, real life players are NOT always at the same level each and every game. More difficult transfers/player retention, also great, your run of the mill club should not be able to sign every top talent just because you may have the funds to do so. If I’m playing a CM with FC Augsburg, even if I have the funds, a top talent like Yoan Bonny from Inter should have no interest whatsoever to transfer to my club, and in FC 27, he won’t…. But I should be able to set up my CM settings/difficulty to somewhere where he will, shouldn’t I?
That being said, I’m also for making a game like this accessible for everyone, and with the current bugs the game obviously still has, it’s not. I’ve opened three different saves, with the transfer/negotiation settings set to the easiest/medium/and strictest modes and the results were all the same. Just to list some of the issues (I know this sub has already listed them at mass but here I go):
- Players will “put themselves” on transfer lists, despite being fully satisfied in all accounts. No transfer requests were put in by these players beforehand. This also then obviously blocks your ability, to block incoming transfer requests. On stricter transfer/contract negotiation settings, very realistic if you’re not playing with a top 20 European club, not so much if you’re Liverpool or Real with easier settings.
-When sending out transfer requests to 10 different players across different clubs, about 7 immediately sign with other clubs. It seems very automatic, and not organic. Again,on stricter transfer/contract negotiation settings, very realistic if you’re not playing with a top 20 European club, not so much if you’re Liverpool or Real with easier settings.
-Young players put out by you for loan will not get touched. I’ve had low rated players on loan lists since day one of each of my (so far) three different saves, who didn’t get a single request over almost 2 seasons I’ve simmed in each save. They’ll obviously become very unhappy because of the lack of playing time, and will either request a full transfer, or deny contract extensions and hit the free market when their contract runs out. This greatly stunts their development.
-Your bench order doesn’t save (I like to sort my bench by position)
These are just some of the biggest issues, that personally bother me.

Just recently found out about these guys as I’ve just recently hit my personal stoner/psyche doom metal path pretty hard. Haven’t seen them mentioned on this sub too much so I’d love to hear some takes from you guys.
I like to listen to artists discography chronologically as much as I can, but I actually haven’t gotten around to their self titled debut album just yet. Swallow the Venom has been my favorite thus far, feeling a bit heavier and darker than their sophomore effort, which was also great. Looking forward to diving into the rest of their stuff.
