OriginalGrowler Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Hi, seeing that the CL 3rd round games were taking place, I saved the game, the did the draw, clicking on draw next team. when liverpool (my team) were drawn with Juventus, Real Madrid and Lyon, and the other english teams had **** easy draws. Then in the league cup, I got everton. I went back and saved the game as another file, and tried the draw again, and the same thing happened. The exact same draw occurred. My question is this, when are the draws actually made in the game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Shakes- Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I think if you save it the day before and try it that won't happen. Tried the same thing myself, I thik when you get to the day of the draw then it is already decided. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaps Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I think its all random tbh, so you probably just got unlucky. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie S Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 If you saved just before the draw then yes it is very possible that the draw had already been made in the background, hence you got exactly the same draw again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Ter Posted November 17, 2009 SI Staff Share Posted November 17, 2009 As has been pointed out, the draw may already have been made and all you are doing on the date the draw is made is viewing it back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordarod Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Yesi you need to save the game before you get the draw news item Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
saviola Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Yesi you need to save the game before you get the draw news item no, you need to save the game before and event in game which your team take part in (matches). For example, group stage CL finish, you got draw fixture. if you save the game any where after your last match in group stage, same thing happen, but if you save the game before the last match, you get new random drawing (even all 16 teams are qualified from round 5th) However, draw function make the game more excited, what the point to get save/load if you get hard opponents Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Aja Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I'd be happy anyway with a group containing Juventus, Real Madrid and Lyon. The draw takes place before you see it and, as Ter said, you're simply viewing something that has already happened. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I clearly remember saving before the draw news item and after the last match in group stage and getting a different draw each time... in FM 09 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
