ArsenalFan7 Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Why do you play teams in the same order, 1st and 2nd half of the season? Since when has that happened in real life? Was confused as to why Arsenal were playing Chelsea so soon today but then realised it's only in FM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenco Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Why not play them in the same order? Doesn't make much difference to me how the fixtures are scheduled, as so many get re-arranged that the order changes anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArsenalFan7 Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 I hate it this way. It's unrealistic and pointless, unless there is a reason for which I am clearly unaware of Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenArsenal Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Somewhat easier to program I reckon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArsenalFan7 Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 Well not in the premier league. Disappointed really at the unrealism Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_lcfc Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Yeah this has been one thing thats always bugged me. Ive notivced that maybe three fixtures next to each other simply change order and thats it. Obviously more important things to look at but please SI? Just one little problem to fix for the future? Please? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazaru5 Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 agree with above I always tick 'use real fixtures when available ' but never actually get them so dunno when/if they're available also, you can virtually guarantee that if you have a scheduled league game against a potential QF/SF opponent at around the time of the QF/SF you will ALWAYS be drawn against them! (so you end up with 2/3 games v the same team in a couple of weeks) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgar555 Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I believe that every season the intention is to play them in the same order and I'm sure thats how they are announced. However once Sky/ESPN are factored in along with cup fixtures, and other postponements we often end up with a very jumbled fixture list. Surprised to see that you hate something AF7 EDIT: and Lazaru5, real fixtures are only available in licensed leagues, which the EPL is not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised to see that you hate something AF7 EDIT: and Lazaru5, real fixtures are only available in licensed leagues, which the EPL is not. The fixures do seem to be 'blocked' in groups of games, but not in the places you'd expect them. You can see it here on the Blackpool fixture announcement, there are runs of games that are mirrored elsewhere in the list but the blocks are not in the same order. You can also see that a few of the big club games look out of place, so perhaps the CL/EL calendar is take into account. This is worth a read, after reading it you can probably understand why FM needs to simplify the way fixture lists are created. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm. I looked at one of last seasons fixture announcements and it was pretty much mirrored. Anyway. Not the biggest deal.
