No UCL medal for this player?

I've a player who started 9(1) matches in Europe but in his biography he is not credited as a UCL winner like some of the other players. Surely he featured enough to merit one?

Got to play the final to get a CL medal iirc.

Or be in the squad

He was suspended for the final

IRL, Roy Keane was suspended for the UCL final back in 1999 and he got a medal afterwards

nope roy keane haven't same as it goes to paul scholes, scholes finall got his first recently

winning seven Premiership titles, four FA Cups and the UEFA Champions League in 1998/99, although he missed the final victory against FC Bayern München through suspension.

UEFA's website credit him as a UCL winner

as has been said you have to be playing in the final as a squad member.

Then why does all the media credit him as a UCL winner despite not playing in the final

you have to play a certain amonut of games in the champions league to qualify for a medal

There is no minimum number of games that a player needs to meet to be awarded a medal.

III Trophies and Medals

Article 5

5.04 Thirty gold medals are presented to the winning club, and 30 silver medals to the runner-up. Additional medals may not be produced.

And that's all there is on the subject of medals.

I'm still curious if Keane won the medal. Some people are pretty convinced that he did, but I haven't found any actual confirmation one way or the other. I've heard some say that he was made an exception of some sort too.

He did because he describes how he felt about his medal in his autobiography.

You don't have even necessarily have to play in a Champions League match to pick up a winners medal...

See the 6th & 7th pargraph down in this article about Jonathan Greening.

You have to be in the registered squad and play at some part during the competition. It could just be a glitch for the player.

Bestie.

Anyone from SI want to say anything about this?

But he was in the matchday squad for the final, thats how he got his medal.

No, he was registered in the UCL squad, thats how he got his medal

No, Manchester United selected him to be presented with a medal as he was in the match squad. As per the convention, the 18 players who form the match day squad get a medal with the presentation of the trophy. The manager also gets one. The remaining 11 medals are distributed by the winning club to whoever they feel should get one. That's how Roy Keane got a medal. That's how the back room staff get medals. It's operating under terms of convention rather than regulation, but to get a CL medal in FM, the player has to be in the match day squad. There is no minimum number of games, no registration, the only criteria is to be in the match squad.

If it was purely on the basis of being registered in the UCL squad, then the under 21 player who isn't registered wouldn't get one (Though in real life they would be registered on the B list, which has an unlimited number of slots).

Grand.

I would class it as a bug that my player who played 9 UCL matches didnt get a medal because of suspension. IRL, a player in a similar scenario would have gotten one.

Its not a bug in the game, as has just been explained to you, more than once. You have to be in the MATCH DAY SQUAD.

A data issue, maybe, but not a bug.

NO YOU DONT

The remaining 11 medals are distributed by the winning club to whoever they feel should get one.

This player would have been handed one if the scenario happened IRL, it has happened IRL but this isnt reflected in the game. It should be reflected in the game if the game is factoring in personal achievements of a player into other aspects like reputation and value.

NO YOU DONT

You do in FM.

It's an oversight, and it should probably be fixed in the future, but for the time being that's just how it is. A bug is something done wrong, not something that just wasn't included. There are plenty of things like that which aren't in the game yet.

Do personal accolades affect the reputation and value (or anything at all) in FM? If it does I'd consider it a bug

NO YOU DONT

IN THE GAME you do

Again not a bug, as it is presumably working as intended, it is a DATA ISSUE as the rule IN GAME needs updating.

Still too hard to understand?

Its not even a Data issue - it's just how SI have chosen to implement it.

Perfect oppurtunity for a new feature though? After winning a trophy etc. the option could be given like captaincy saying on a scroll list to distribute the remaining medals to whoever you feel neccessary. That way we all win !

Nah. You know what would happen if they did that. The 17 yr old reserve back up goalkeeper would get all upset that you didn't give him a medal, and would destroy all the squad harmony.

IN THE GAME you do

I think it's becoming hard for you to understand.

In real life, which this game is meant to be based on due to being a simulator, 'n' all, 30 medals are given to a team. These are then distributed around the squad who have played in the competition that year.

However, in the game, only the match day squad get a medal, which is wrong. Therefore, it needs changing, as it's wrong

Nobody is denying it is wrong, but it isn't a BUG. Try actually reading what I post:

Trolls.

There is no need for anyone to post in large letters to get their views across.

This thread is going nowhere so I will close it
