Sioldana Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Oh its soooo realistic, I get to the UEFA cup and FA cup final and I can't put a team together because 8 players are away playing under 21's friendlies, I have to pick complete dirt from the reserves, and I presume if I had had the foresight to withdraw these players they would have went balistic at me for doing so, what a stinking piece of s**t, I've spent according to my game time 4 and a half days, putting together a very young team that is really good, and then the fruit of all our work, two prestigious finals, and I'm sending out guys to make their debut because some of my first team are playing some friendly against the faroe Islands under 21's ....... bollox Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klimowicz Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 if the game recognized such events as major finals, withdrawing players would be easy. hope this gets fixed in fm09. tbh, you should have looked at your fixtures (an assman report of possible missed fixtures when players are called up would be... nice) and withdrew them anyways.

Stephen Walsh Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I had the same for the Super Cup Final. Had to pick 3 fringe players from my first team squad, the rest from my reserves. Have been in 6 Super Cup Finals before and never had an international at the same time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sioldana Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 Ok, so I reload from an earlier time and I cannot withdraw anybody I don't get the option Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klimowicz Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 they aren't friendlies then? if they are, its a bug. you should always get the opportunity to withdraw players from freindlies. players would never miss a major final for an international irl, the African CoN being the exception.

Sioldana Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 No they aren't friendlies, so I suppose it's allright, I'm sure most young players would rather represent their under 19s' in a qualifier than play in the FA cup FINAL, sure I'm surprised they don't all just go on holiday seeing as how the season is over, UEFA Cup, FA cup, wouldn't get out of bed, but being a sub for the under 21's crucial qualifier....ah, I'm just REAL annoyed, lost both finals, fans are dissapointed etc, etc, of course IRL it happens all the time, I think Man Utd are playing their reserves tomorrow night in the champions league thing, think Ferguson allowed the first team to go on Rooney's stag night or something Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point 2 - not really. The game usually automatically reschedules your fixtures if enough players are called up on international duty. Sometimes it 'forgets' - there's no way you can know if the AI will rearrange your fixtures or not! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nojabold Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I've often suffered because of this. I find it always happens in Spain because their cup final is played so late on in the season. I used to like the feature in an old CM game where you could appeal to the FA for match postponement. Wish they would bring that back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
