tarbanrael Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Right, is it possible to postpone a game due to the number of international call ups? If so how does one go about it? I have just had my Forest team go through 2 games, one against Portsmouth in the Premiership which we drew 1-1 away, with not enough real players to fill any place on the bench bar the U18 GK. Then I just got beaten 8-0 by an Arsenal team at full strength while I had a grand total of 3 players available for the game... All my other players were away on international duty. 12 for U21 competition and 8 for National squad places. Plus I had 4 long term injuries. Obviously that is quite frustrating. Luckily it was only the FA 6th round replay as my Forest team are 1st in the EPL, unbeaten for the whole season. If this is not implemented in FM09, can it get implemented in the next version so this kind of thing does not happen again? By the way I searched for postpone game but only came up with stuff from the African Nations Cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calferg-LFC Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 im not sure you can do it mate, i had 11 players for a re-arranged mid week game the other day and this included playing Pepe Reina up front :| haha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarbanrael Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 Yeah I thought so too! Hopefully that can be added to the game as the "auto re-arrange" game functionality in case of Internationals is obviously not working great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bardock Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 It would be a good thing to have. It should take into account the available players in the first team when determining if a game should be postponed. If something like 50-60% are on international duty then the game should allow the proposed postponement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshpea4 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I've had a match postponed due to only four call-ups from my team, and two from the opposition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarbanrael Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 I've had a match postponed due to only four call-ups from my team, and two from the opposition. That's usually what I have seen, hence i could not understand why these 2 games actually went ahead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spikehammer Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I have a game on a Saturday with world cup qualifiers due on the Wednesday and have 15 first team players called up. Was quite a shock seeing all those red flags. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
