T4RG4 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Is this a feature? i.e to represent media inaccuracy? I buy a player for 2M exactly. Media report it as 1.99M. A bit silly? I have a 90k offer accepted for a player. Report back from selling club (i.e. not media) announces they have accepted my 93k bid. What is this all about? I could understand it if the media reports were wildly out, as long as questions about fees offered/paid were part of Press Conferences but to my knowledge they are not. Maybe in the future. But what about the accepted fee? Why is it reported as 3k more? Confusing! It's bugging me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neji Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I think the offers are rounded but you don't actually pay the rounded fee. I'm not 100% sure on that though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Craig Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I've seen this before on previous FM games and I always just assumed it had something to do with future fees/percentage of future sales etc being taken into account also? Although that might just be me being stupid again?! lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
T4RG4 Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 But 93k from a straight out cash offer of 90k isnt rounding is it? There must be some reason. Chairman to Chairman bung I guess Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirgeordie Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I always just assumed it was in order to make fees look more realistic. IRL you won't see loads of 90k bids, there'd be some 87k, 89k, 92k etc - rather than all fees being round numbers. If you're a lower club tho and they take an extra 3k off you it could have some disastrous consequences. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be some reason.Chairman to Chairman bung I guess The offer is rounded. So you bid 90k (that's what the offer says) but it was actually 93k, it's just that the offer screen rounds it. This is how I think it works because if a player has a sale value of 8.99m, you can only bid 9m, not 8.99m. If that makes sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavinZac Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Probably has a lot to do with the in game currency. The game has to use something as a base, so while the interface will say 90k, the 90k you offer might actually be 89.444342414816 when the currency conversion is worked out. Therefore the game fiddles with it a bit and makes it so that you offered 93k which is a nice even 90k in the base currency. Just a guess as a programmer, that seems like the sensible way to do it.

T4RG4 Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 Interesting Neji and GavinZac! I'd still prefer there not to be a disparity between what I believe to offer and final? displayed sale price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavinZac Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I'd still prefer there not to be a disparity between what I believe to offer and final? displayed sale price. Maybe as an experiment, try out a few of the major currencies, I bet one of them is the 'base' currency, unless they've awfully complicated things by having an imaginary base currency. SImoleons?

Irchard Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I think I tested this a few versions back and came to the conclusion that whatever the 'base' currency is is unplayable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
