pigfacemonkeyman Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 (FM10) Is this really the correct schedule for this competition or has it gone ape in my save? My best A/MC, playmaker, corner taker, best tutor and all round good egg was called up by New Zealand early December 2009, for some reason, and the game is now at 31st January 2010 with my star guy still on international duty. If, as I suspect, he won't return till after the final he will have been away for the best part of half a season! So is this weird schedule right and my guy got stuck on international duty, or is the schedule messed up and my guy is just seeing out the tournament?

Sir_Liam Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 The scheduling of the tournament is correct. As for your player, I'm not sure as I don't think I've ever been the club manager of an Oceanian international player. He should really return though, otherwise it'll be a bug.

jcoll Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 he should return after the group stage and then go back and play the final which is 2 months after the group stage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigfacemonkeyman Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 Thanks Sir & jc, I just hope he isn't stuck forever! In case he is, does anyone know of a way to make him return? Unusual schedule for a tournament though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
milnerpoint Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 You could try taking over New Zeeland and release him from the squad, that may work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would kick myself for not thinking of this but I would probably miss. :o Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigfacemonkeyman Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 As long as you dont kick me if it doesnt work OK, I can't add a manager, Vanuatu isn't on the list either so maybe it can't be done mid tournament? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
milnerpoint Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 hmm thats weird, i didnt think there was a restriction on when you could take over a club in the game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mije1983 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 If there isn't enough players loaded for that nation in your game, then you won't be able to take over as manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShyBaldBuddhist Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 As he is taking over a country it may be there are not enough players in the database to manage them. You could try FMRTE to make him retire from internationals and then remove the retirement once he is back at the club if you still want him eligble Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

milnerpoint Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 the two above answers prob explain it! i didnt think about that side of things, you may have to accept it, but i would def raise it in the bugs forum man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShyBaldBuddhist Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 No idea tbh, I just presumed there would be that option on the players screen somewhere. Only used it a couple of times for a sign up game I am running so not that familar with all the ins and outs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mije1983 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 If you go into the relations tab for the player on FMRTE, retired from international football is one of the options under type. Maybe you have to do that before you can tick the box on the player info screen? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you have to do that before you can tick the box on the player info screen? Can't see that, this is FMRTE for FM10 and the only thing I can see on the relations screen is "League registration - New Zealand -8" the other possible options under type are "Formed at Country", "Other Nationality" and "UEFA Registration". Looks like I will just have to cross my fingers and wait to see if he returns after the final. I hope so, I was really enjoying this save. Thanks for all the help. xxx Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mije1983 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I'm guessing that it is a recent addition to FMRTE then. Fingers crossed for you! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigfacemonkeyman Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 The wanderer has returned, 22nd March, five days before the final!? and he must have used a teleporter as there was no mention of him travelling! It's all a bit odd and I have a horrible feeling that he will go to the final never to return. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugo_rune Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Are you playing an older version of FM? I know this bug was present in those, don't know if it is still in FM2012 or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigfacemonkeyman Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 FM10 (see OP). The weird thing is he hasn't gone back for the final??? It is now 28th March and he is still at my club. I still don't feel this is the end of the matter though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
