As far as I remember, match focus session before the next match has been included in the game as a new feature. However, I'm not sure if it has an impact on the match engine, player attributes or tactical familiarity etc. If so, which dynamics do you think it has an impact on? Were you be able to observe any change due to the variables related to match focus?
I guess the finding hasn't been updated for FM24 though, which has changed options too.
Not sure if anyone else has tested it. I doubt it since you can't set it all up in advance. Might be worth looking at down the track, but it likely has negligible effect.
The effects of training modules are stored in the game's external FMF files and can be read in a hex editor (I know because I modified the Team Bonding module to have the same impact as Match Practice, except it improves fitness, injury proneness, fatigue and all the other negative effects it's supposed to come with; and you can have as many as you want in a week).
I can have a look at what that specific one does when I get home.
(That said, the file probably says something like "tactical familiarity +3", and what that actually does is harder to track down.)
I've looked in to this. I'll write it up properly tomorrow because I'm either too sleepy to understand what I'm seeing or the match engine does _not_ work like I thought.
It looks like some attributes are stored mid-match as values 0 to [attribute value + 1] and the match focus you pick (set pieces, phase-of-play) refresh these values and pick the higher of them?
Other than that, the Match Focus module trains nothing but gives a bit of Team Cohesion and Tactical Familiarity. It's the mid-match bonuses that are the real boon though.

I don't know why nobody care about that...

EBFM tested it and found it did pretty much nothing
