Ritari Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Hopefully SI have fixed some of the competition rule errors regarding player eligibility found in previous installments of FM. Here are a couple I've found/noticed: Finnish Leagues and Cups There are no age restrictions on eligible players. That means players aged 16 or under can play in official matches in all Finnish competitions. In FM only players aged 17 or more can play in official matches, so this is erroneous in the game. Some real life examples of players who have played at the age of 16 or under include Teemu Tainio (16 years at FC Haka), Jari Litmanen (16 years at Reipas Lahti), Mikael Forssell (16 years at HJK), Lauri Dalla Valle (15 years at JIPPO) among others. Please fix this. International Youth Competitions U21 and U19 international competitions have an age restriction, but it is misrepresented in the game. For instance the ongoing U21 European Championships Qualifying, which ended yesterday, has the same age limit as the actual Final Tournament held next summer. That means that the age limit (in fact D.O.B. limit) was set at the start of the qualifying competition and will not change for the final tournament. That means that "overage" players will be eligible for the final tournament as well as for the qualifying round. If a player turns 22 during this time, it does not exclude him from being eligible to play in the qualifying or final tournament. This same applies to any U19 competitions. In FM the day a player turns 22 (or 20 for the U19 team) he becomes ineligible to play for the U21 side. In real life there can be players taking part in the final tournament who are 23 years old as the 21 age limit was at the beginning of the qualifying round and the final tournament takes place two years after that. So hopefully SI have fixed the youth international age restrictions to follow real life. If not, then fix them quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nomis07 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I don't think this is a data issue. Surely it is a data issue as it regards the current rules in the database regarding the Finnish league etc, upto you though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike7077 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Yeah, this is a data issue. Or at least I would expect SI to define it as a data issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SI Staff Ter Posted October 16, 2008 SI Staff Share Posted October 16, 2008 Data Issues are things that are wrong in the database. This stuff is part of the rule-group code which is not in the database and would be classed as a bug Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
