My god, keepers on this game. How long have keepers been a recurring issue?

Since I'm settling into this being a long term save now and really, really enjoying it, it's time to work on the staff. The staff when I joined the club were pretty poor, and also pretty bare with only the very bare minimum available. I've now improved in several areas so that on this area we can compete with the best in the league (we are on the pitch for sure!)

Ok, so time for the first youth intake. We don't have great facilities yet so I really shouldn't be hoping for too much here. I've got the 'golden generation' tag, but I've seen so many people across the scene get absolute dross intakes after being told that, so I'm not getting my hopes up. A lot of these statements massively contradict each other as well, but if this is to beleved there will at least be some players that I can use. I'll obviously update again when we get the intake, but well, here we go.

Playing second bottom Gwangju and after a having man sent off, they've gone rather defensive. Man I hate the AI sometimes. This is brilliant. I used to see stuff like that a lot on older versions, but never notice them being so extreme these days. Good to see you back mate. Sounds like it's still going well for you in South Korea, which is great. Interested in seeing what you've got planned tactically.

They really need to do something about this and I really hope it's something that's addressed in the next version, whenever that might be. It's a nice feature in theory, but in practice it's contradictory and rarely seems to accurately indicate what we actually receive in the intake. So frustrating

Like quite a lot of things SI have added lately, it adds very little to the game. Much like pre-match tactical briefings. This is part of the issue where they've added to the game without building upon what they already have, like player interaction.
Or you know, the match engine. Stupid idea.

Mid-July Update 2020
Right, we've come to the 20 game point, so it's time for another update about how we're getting on on the pitch. Firstly ( click here) here are our results. As you can see from the table, we've rather unwittingly been drawn into a title fight, largely through the teams around us beginning to stumble somewhat. We've really consolidated our status as the possession team of the K-League at 56% (next closest is 52%), but I'd still like to take this even further up towards 60%, but for now I'm not really willing to mess with a tactical setup that has us competing at the top of the league. As I said earlier in the thread through, the long term tactical plan is for a more Barca esque setup, whereas now it's more direct and based on pressing. However, that focus on possession has really helped us with our defensive solidity, as despite being only 5th in the league for goals scored, we have the best defence in the league, best passing accuracy and best shooting accuracy. This really is the emphasis of a possession team. Pass the ball well, keep the ball, don't concede and create good chances where you can break through.
Now though, my thoughts need to turn to how we get on the rest of the season. I really dont want to get drawn into a title fight, when my aim was simply to consolidate this team as a K-League team. Clearly we're going to do the best that we can but I don't think we're anywhere near winning the league in terms of quality, but I think qualifying for the ACL is a possibility now. I'm not going to get my hopes up because if we finished 4th as best of the rest, I'd happily take that. We also need to keep an eye on Suwom Bluewings, who are the form team of the K-League, having appointed a new manager. Still, right now things are going really well in this save, its holding my attention without me having to play the game every day, which is quite a new thing for me! I'm hoping to make some progress over the next few days so should have some more posts to add to this thread soon.
