BuryBlade Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Has anyone else noticed that on FM08 seemingly unknown or 'average' players get bought by AI clubs for HUGE amounts of money and that it often takes over the top bids to have an offer accepted by an AI club?? E.g. Jack Hobbs and Craig Cathart are two players on mine that got sold for over £20 million each and my offer of £100 million for bojan was rejected (he had min fee release clause of £636 million ?!?!) Please feel free to add any more examples Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest roberto922 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Yup, they've ripped out the transfer module for FM 09 and rewritten it so it should be alot better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSCCG Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I see excessive prices as clubs trying to stop the player from being sold. What I am concerned with are clubs actually paying those amounts! I don't have problem with clubs setting huge fees or declining "fair" offers though.

Maurice Edu from my Rangers team to Arsenal for £32m, and he hasnt played a game in over 2 years for them.

When selling a player you can only set the buy-back as the price your being given you can't set it to lower than the£20mil you sold him for. So surely if you can buy him back for £5mil then you actually sold him for £5mil? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bren_D Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 No, just smarter than Damien Comolli But not smart enough to get the fee right. People may laugh at the fee, but I bet his goals to minutes on the pitch ratio is every bit as good as Crouch and Defoe at the moment and I wouldn't bet against him being one of the top English goalscorers in the Prem again this season. If we get that sort of service from him for the next 3-4 years people will forget about the fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neb Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Its poor at the other end of the spectrum too, I sold a rubbish player who was valued at £16k for £100k! I offered him out at £16k, if teams offered money, I rejected everything and offered him out at £25k, if teams offered, I rejected and offered him out at £40k...etc....etc. The way the AI value players seems random, its either on CA, PA or random. it never seems to be on performances, which you'd think would be the key thing!
