Way too many injuries and terrible goalkeeping (My two biggest issues currently)

[TDH]

I am loving FM24 so far, the improvements are great and I dont regret buying it early, but I want to address my two biggest issues at the moment:

1) There are far too many injuries it feels. I will rest a player and they get injured, my goalkeepers are getting injured far too often (I appreciate the realism of adding GK injuries, but its not this frequent in real life) This needs to be tweaked imo, its really annoying!

2) Goalkeepers. I dont know if its just my goalkeeper but they continue to make the same half arsed saves, where they simply fall to the ground. They let in so many goals, its unbelievable, they get beaten where they shouldn't.

Furthermore, point 2 leads me on to believe that there are just far too many goals it seems at the moment with such little shots. I dont mind the odd luck, but im seeing many games with a 5-6 shots on target for both teams and 3-4 goals for either. Almost everything is going in at the moment, and I think the goalies are at fault for that as well..

Despite these few points, the new transfer system, the new interactions, graphics, set pieces and the updated animations and rotational play are fantastic! I am enjoying the game a lot but this is a beta and this is what I think should be improved.

If anyone else has any differing opinions, feel free to share, I dont mind.

Hello TDH,

please if you tell us important things like your goalkeeper issue, then please add more informations, like in what league do you play, and with what team, and who is your goalkepper? What role you have chosen for him and what playing mentality? Then we other players can compare better. Just as an example: lower league football is not the same like first divsion football.

Well,

to the Golakeepers thingy, I play with Dortmund in the Bundesliga and with Kobel in my goal. Of course he is one of the best in the Bundesliga but never saw any weird stuff from him. Also I didnt saw any weird stuff from my opponments. Just one mistake from a goalkeeper but this was more an accident. Also Kobel is a garranty so far for my good defense. He do alot of great saves each game. I have played 27 so far with 79:23 goals. I let him play as playing goalkeeper but with defense playstyle. So, for me Goalkeeper do well and I think it is your tactic overall or how you let him and the team play maybe? I see here in the discussion tab that alot of player have issues with alot of goals against them and it seems to be they are struggling. If I compare yours with my experience or with the others then it seems to be really an tactial issue at your side.

Of course I do have injuries aswell but not to much. It feels ok. I rotate alot because of the high amount of matches. Also I have an eye on the players after the 2 weeks where they are joining and playing for their national squad. Well, I think if you have to much injurieres it can be your playingstyle aswell? More often with higher tempo, hard tackling, often more pressing? Also check your Assistant-Manager Report from the players. Most of them are players, who are fighting always with injuries.

Also I dont see any weird results in the Bundesliga aswell nor in the Championsleague nor at the other fixtures. So it seems like it is a player made problem because the KI games are not infected in my case.

But this is just my experience so far and my side of view of the game right now.

At this moment I am really enjoying the game with the improvements in the ME like you. ;)

Hey, I play in the premier league as title contenders for a few years now as Sunderland. Won the prem last season, so my goalkeeper (sweeper keeper support & positive mentality) is a pretty solid keeper. In FM23 he was good. Could it possibly have something to do with my continuing my save? Im not sure.

Its not only my keeper. I saw a goal where the Wolves goalkeeper who is a decent keeper as well got the ball passed back to him and simply didnt do anything and it rolled into his goal. Here it is:

Well, maybe your chosen playing style of your Goali is to offense? I mean it happens often that newer versions of FM has some critical small changes in the ME. If I was you, I would change him to defensive playstyle. In reality in the Premier League are paced monster striker. I think it is risky to play like this. Only superstars like Manuel Neuer can really handle it almost error free. To the goal: Honestly, this shoot is top notch and it is hard to handle for a goalkeeper because of the speed and bounce on the ground before. But thats only my personal opinionin this case. :)

I find there are WAY WAY WAY to many Manager sackings.
