SAFCrhys_keanoFTM Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 On my Sunderland game I noticed a slight concern next to Michael Chopra, I clicked on it and it read: "Homesick" He is from Newcastle which is what? 12 miles away from Sunderland at the most. How stupid! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWaRFeGa Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Lol. What's his nationality down as? And does he have any additional ones? I recall him possibly being of Indian origin or similar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DietSpam Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Hmm, i don;t know if it's all that stupid. I get home sick really easy as well, even if i'm not far away from Glasgow. Hell i can;t stand staying in another house bar my own. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomis07 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 It's different for a footballer, perhaps he hasn't bought a house and is living in a hotel, which would be a bit miserable. I don't think it's tha stupid and similar to DietSpam I hate staying anywhere other than my own house, unless i'm on holiday in a different country. I once drove home at 2 o'clock in the morning when on work business because I wanted my own bed rather than a hotel room lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAFCrhys_keanoFTM Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 Aww ha'way man, as if SI are going to say: "He's homesick because he is staying in a hotel." IF he is homesick he can jump in the car for 30 minutes and get to Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveRH Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Birth place does not necessarily mean home. I was born in Surrey, but I know that living near there wouldn't be better than living where I do now. Obviously in this case we know that Chopra lived in Newcastle for a long time, but I suspect that all the game is looking at is the fact that he moved from Wales to England recently.

Kassien Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Had a similar problem to this when after 12 years at Inter, Recoba decided he "couldn't adjust to life in Italy". Reported it to the bug forum too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayahr Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 One for the bugs forum imho. I guess that the unhappiness has been triggered by his Indian nationality (guess he has declared for India in that game at least). Surely his POB and his second nationality should prevent that from happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways I don't think it's messed up at all, look at Robbie Savage moving to Blackburn from Birmingham, he said it was to be closer to his family. There is no set distance for homesickness.

Plenty of players want to move back to their home country after a long period away from home, it's just worded badly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because Newcastle is "12 miles" from Sunderland, doesn't mean his home is 12 miles away from where he is. And also, being from "Newcastle" doesn't mean hes automatically from the closest point to Sunderland. He could have lived in a suburb of Newcastle, and the training ground miles out of Sunderland.

As right as you are in terms of rl, I don't think that any geographic differences within one nation are implemented in the game. Might be a good idea for future version though.

There is no set distance for homesickness. It was later pointed out to him that Blackburn was further away from Cardiff (where his family live) than Birmingham was. He just wanted to move and used this as an excuse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
