JamboSteven Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 So, 3 of my players have this clause. I sign a new player who now earns £10k a week. Why do these 3 players now earn £19k a week? I would assume that "match" means receive the same not receive almost double. These 3 players have practically tripled their previous wage and has left my wage budget in tatters. Why do they receive so much? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do they receive so much? The clause means that if you top their current wage they get an automatic wage rise to make sure they are top earners at your club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboSteven Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 This seems a bit rash though. The amount is 100% more than my next highest earner! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
drtrick Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I thought this was a bug and posted about it in the bugs forum: http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/294111-Match-Highest-Earner-Clause Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcidBurn Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Stating the obvious here but it should not work like this as the clause is to match the highest earner not surpass them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboSteven Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 Stating the obvious here but it should not work like this as the clause is to match the highest earner not surpass them. That is exactly how I thought it would work. Nobody is on £19k a week at my club, that amount is well beyond the level of players in my team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboSteven Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 I thought this was a bug and posted about it in the bugs forum:http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/294111-Match-Highest-Earner-Clause Having read your thread I think the same scenario has happened in my game. This is definately a bug. I reloaded my save which took me about 3 months back which is quite annoying. If it wasn't the fact I hadn't saved my then this would probably have caused me to stop playing FM12 as it would have ruined my long term save.

JamboSteven Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 Sorry, scrap that. In my new attempt to beat the bug a player is now earning £22k :O and I have saved it meaning there is no going back. I guess I'll have to release him and take the hefty compensation pay out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
baaf Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 you can always use a real time editor to solve issues like this... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboSteven Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 I want to avoid real time editors as I am aware that they can cause all sorts of problems to a saved game. This issue must be addressed in an update as it is a game breaking bug. If anyone else can provide evidence of this happening that would be useful to highlight the severity of the issue.

Smurf Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 If you see it coming up then post it in the bugs forum. There's a link in this thread to the issue. Upload your game to the FTP site, instructions are all there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
askep Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Clearly a bug, the word is "match" highest earner, not an assurance of their being the sole highest earner. Edit with FMRTE, never bugged a save for me ever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upload your game to the FTP site, instructions are all there. I've sold the player who was earning £22k a week on now so the evidence for the SI team won't be there anymore or do they have a means to find see this? I have to pay £10k per week for a year just so the player would move to another club He would have been good back-up aswell! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuncanJM Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 How do you use the editor to change data whilst you are in a game save? I can only get it work for me if i start a new save and load the editor data. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sikker Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 How do you use the editor to change data whilst you are in a game save? I can only get it work for me if i start a new save and load the editor data. You need to use a program like FMRTE, but I have read on these boards that you now have to pay for it. Don't know how much, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Certain things do bug you in this game. For example I've just had a bid of £10M accepted (over my head) for one of my star players on deadline day, and he's left. I had turned down almost double that earlier in the window. I feel robbed.

Fergie1983 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 is it possible it could be a clause once played x amount of games gets a hike in wages? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboSteven Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 is it possible it could be a clause once played x amount of games gets a hike in wages? Nope, there are no extra clauses of that kind. It's pre-season anyway so no games are currently being played. Definitely a bug. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolulu Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 "Match highest earner" is a killer to wageroll control if you want the club to progress. I NEVER allow it in a player contract offer & I always check the contract of the highest earner in any club that approaches me, to make sure that that player doesn't have this clause. I refuse the job if he does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyt86 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 you have to make a donation, as little as 1euro which is 89p and you get the full use of FMRTE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shake Appeal Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Yeah, try to avoid giving out this clause if you possibly can. That's definitely a bug, though, and I'm glad someone reported it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
