Bragenca Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 In my FM10 10.1 patched game I saw that a coach of the Ukrainian national team (Anatoliy Demyanenko), has a USSR first nationality. I googled this person and saw that he is a former USSR national team player from Ukraine. Surely that's a bug, right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

swed151 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I think this has been brought up before. And, I don't see any reason for it to be a bug. The man played for the USSR (which Ukraine used to be a part of... right?) and therefore his first nationality is USSR. How can someone have a nationality of a country that does not exist?

Edle Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Possibly because he was born in the era when it was still a country? Thats the only explanation i can think of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swed151 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Right, but when a nation collapses the passport is no longer valid. There are no 'Soviet' nationals anymore. They've had to take up either Russian, Belorussian, Ukraine, etc. nationality depending where they live. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edle Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Well it cant really be a bug then, as to have a USSR nationality it has to have been included in the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillwallLion08 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 How can someone have a nationality of a country that does not exist? Lol, realised after I posted it, and then deleted the post. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCIAG Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Well it cant really be a bug then, as to have a USSR nationality it has to have been included in the game. USSR nationality is included in the game. All the defunct nations are, otherwise it would mess up the World Cup history. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobby_McDonald Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Looks like a simple explanation. He was an international in the days of the old Soviet Union, therefore has x number of caps for USSR. He didn't get those caps for Ukraine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rohkey Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Looks like a simple explanation. He was an international in the days of the old Soviet Union, therefore has x number of caps for USSR. He didn't get those caps for Ukraine Don't think he's arguing about the caps record, just the fact that he has retained his USSR nationality, which is, in fact, impossible today.

swed151 Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Nobody could possibly have USSR nationality since it doesn't exist. You cannot be a national of a country that is defunct. The reason it is in the game is for international history records and such. It's a bug because that coach still has USSR nationality, when in fact he should only be a Ukranian national.

Quboid Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Maybe he has USSR set so that it would correctly convey that the caps he won were for the USSR. You're right, he can't really have a nationality that doesn't exist, but if it wasn't his first nationality, it would look like his caps where for the Ukraine. It's a bit of a hack really. Hopefully SI will handle no-longer existent nationality properly (perhaps in player info, say Caps: 72 (for USSR)) in these cases. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanGLiverpool Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Is a data error as far as I am aware, although it was reported ages ago, so maybe it might be more than a simple data issue. :| Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
