Games abandoned?

watching the Rangers Dundee Utd game up here earlier on, abandoned at half time........has it ever happened in FM? is it even possible in the game?

dont think its possible on the game yet

i dont think this is possible yet. Although games can be abandoned before the game gets to the match day.

This is not coded into the game

Didn't know they could be abandoned before match day? For what reasons?

I just had a Walsall v Liverpool league cup game cancelled prior to kick off due to a waterlogged pitch.

Thats a very nice feature.

Once I had my Latvian PL game against Blazma cancelled about 3 times because of waterlogged pitch, eventually the game was played 2 months later than it should

Speaking about abadoned games, i think it happens too rarely to be coded in the game.

I presume the only way to have a match abandoned after kick-off will be down to insane amounts of red-cards

wish this would happen more often for teams in places such as highland league during winter. makes it a bit more real plus if it happens to yur team and your player will come back from injury before the replay, it can be very important factor!

Funnily enough, that is not coded into the game either

Why did they remove it? I remember back in the CM3 series of games you used to get a big 'A' in the scores box at the top of the commentary... Unless i'm just dreaming...

Don't even know how that game went ahead in the first place. Its been peeing down like mad here since last night.

I've had loads of games abandoned due to waterlogged pitches as Rossendale and in FM09 as Telford

Telford: Home of rain

Surprised at the lack of inclusion of such a feature, especially as there are certain weekends every winter where the whole country is affected, leaving Jeff and Co. to comment on about 15 games nationwide. Guess it would involve a lot of coding, but the repercussions would be good, ie. fixture rearranging.

You're not dreaming. Back on 01/02 I had a game abandoned in the second half because of a blizzard.

I think that they should have it so instead of having just 1 game being randomly called off they should have loads of fixtures being called off which would make it more realistic.

I dont think calling off a whole host of random games called off would make it realistic tbh. If it was done geographically, perhaps that would be better? You know, teams that are close together geographically like Newcastle and Sunderland, both the Nottingham teams aswell for example. Its much more likely that snow/adverse weather would happen locally rather across the country.

Seriously???

That is quite funny actually lol

That's even less realistic as those two pairs of teams would never play at home on the same day.

it should be to be honest. isnt the game abandonded if a team has fewer than 7 players on the pitch and then the other team getsa 2-0 victory by default?

I think I'd hate to have a game abandoned at half-time, especially if I was winning
