Ataris Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Hi guys, So I have literally just had this happen!! I beat Barcelona in the sem finals of the Spanish Cup and I get to congratulate my team in the team talk... Then I click continue and the news item pops up saying I was beaten 3-1 and the fixtures show me as being knocked out?!!! Anyone had anything like this before? I mean,... there is feeling 'cheated' by the match engine and then there is this! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rougess Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 i don't want to sound patronising but was there a home / away leg total score? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftg87 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I would post some screenshots in the bugs forum if I was you mate, sounds like something that should be looked at (unless wills is right:p) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KUBI Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 There was an issue before patch 9.2, but I think it's solved when you download and patch the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ataris Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 Heh, There were indeed two legs. 3-3 was the final score. But I won on away goals, as the commentary said at the end and the team talk reflected. I had heard of this happening online between macs and pc's but not in single player. Unfortunately there is no easy way to get the screenshot of the match as I had already continued and the result is now changed... It is rather annoying as I am Atletico and was rather looking forward to the final which would have been against Real Madrid. This is with the latest patch.

santy001 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 It's a problem I experienced when my brother decided to delete 4-2-4 from the game on FM08, it can happen if a tactic file has been deleted/moved out of the folder, the Match Engine seems to generate at least 2 parrallel games, one which you see (without the tactic) and because the game already loaded it up when you set the game up, that outcome, and it can be pot luck which you get. There does seem to be a bug about this in network games, which I presume goes off a similar principle to do with tactic files. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but I don't think that sounds like the problem. I haven't deleted any tactics. Plus, I don't think deleting a tactic would have the effect you described.

rougess Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 has it ever happened in anyone's favour? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
santy001 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I had the same problem, could win a game 2-1 and then it'd say I lost it 3-0 or something. It doesn't have to be a conscious decision, the file could have corrupted and thats what causes the kind of problem you outlined. It might be it, it might not, all I'm doing is entering a possible scenario as to what happened. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ataris Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 Yea, obviously without knowing the code there is no way to know the reason. I was just wondering if it had happened to anyone else. Couldn't have happened at a worse time for me lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
4457 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Have you checked competition rules just to ensure away goals was the first tiebreaker? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbrahimAliMaher Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 The lesson to be learned here is save after matches as often as you can! That and FM games have some truly ridiculous bugs... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lung Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 This happened to me once or twice in FM 08. Be thankful that it's a rare bug... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
