Yoshi99 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 How are the cup draws determined on the game? I'm asking this because out of the past 4 seasons, ive drawn Leeds United in the 3rd round of the FA Cup. Another trend i've noticed is that most of the games were derby matches, not fierce rivals but general rivals. Here are a few of the ties of the 3rd round - Arsenal vs Chelsea Liverpool vs Man United Hartlepool vs Middlesbrough Stoke vs Port Vale Huddersfield vs Leeds Sheff Utd vs Wednesday Forest vs Leicester Chesterfield vs Donny Blackburn vs Bolton Wolves vs Villa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertodibaggio Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I thought this was fixed in 902? I noticed it all the time before but now I haven't noticed it at all? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

djwilko6 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Yes it's fixed in 9.0.2. Or I havent noticed it since anyway, good not having to play Portsmouth everytime I start as Southampton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finchy107 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Are you all sure this is fixed in the 2nd patch? I have the patch - Im Utd and was just drawn against Stoke in the 3rd round. Arsenal v Chels and Newc v Boro also came out the hat. Maybe just coincidence.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kippax1977 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Are you all sure this is fixed in the 2nd patch? I have the patch - Im Utd and was just drawn against Stoke in the 3rd round. Arsenal v Chels and Newc v Boro also came out the hat. Maybe just coincidence.... I brought this up in the bugs forum, someone from SI replied and said the update that stops the regionalised draws only comes into effect the following season after the end of season update Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
4457 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I would seriously doubt that. New 9.2.0 game still gave me regionalised draws in the second season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUNT3R Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I brought this up and was told that 9.2 fixes it, but you have to start a new save. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sy13 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I brought this up and was told that 9.2 fixes it, but you have to start a new save. It was said the patch was save game compatible and the only reason to start a new save was to benefit from the new data update (i.e. Redknapp at Spurs etc) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUNT3R Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 It was said the patch was save game compatible and the only reason to start a new save was to benefit from the new data update (i.e. Redknapp at Spurs etc) This was discussed in a previous thread: I asked dafuge if the problem was because I patched, but didn't start a new game. That will be it. It seems that this one requires a new game to be started with 9.2 to solve the problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sy13 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 OK now totally confused. In other threads it says this bug is still there, even when you start a new save. So is it still there? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushdoc Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Thats very sad if it is not save game compatible or not fixed, will bug me in my longterm game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilmaniacuk Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 As Arsenal I get Chelsea and Tottenham quite alot, although once i've knocked them out it a complete guess as to who i'll get. But being honest I went out to tottenham in the 4th rnd of the league cup a couple days ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JGN_1982 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I didnt start a new game when i added 9.2 and it isnt a problem i have noticed except in CL i always seem to draw PL sides but that could just be luck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
4457 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Regionalisation definitely still happens. Look in the bugs forum, one of the testers said the other day that they thought they had eradicated the problem but are now looking into it again.

Administrators Neil Brock Posted January 8, 2009 Administrators Share Posted January 8, 2009 It's been fixed but unfortunately it would appear you have to start a new save for this to take effect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
4457 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 It's been fixed but unfortunately it would appear you have to start a new save for this to take effect. I am on a fresh 9.2 save, and it still happened last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Neil Brock Posted January 9, 2009 Administrators Share Posted January 9, 2009 I am on a fresh 9.2 save, and it still happened last season. Thanks for informing us, has this happened everytime you've had a cup draw? We're re-checking this out but the more information we get the more helpful it'll be. Thanks.

robertodibaggio Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Is it even possible that it could have worked for some and not others? Cos as I said, it definately doesn't happen on mine anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcoleman1 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 i get drawn away a lot more often than not in the cup draws. not a bug. but still extremely annoying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Neil Brock Posted January 9, 2009 Administrators Share Posted January 9, 2009 This is it, I'm trying to recreate this here in a fresh 9.2 game and it never happens, yet on my continued game which I started in 9.0, in my most recent season the draws were regionalised so we're trying to get to the bottom of this. Are people who are still experiencing this DEFINITELY playing on games started in 9.2? Let me know, thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
4457 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I am definitely playing a game started on an edited 9.2 database. Could that make any difference? The fact that I edited the database? The only changes I made were just some competition name changes... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack flash Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Ok on a game that was started with the last patch thus far i've had these draws in the cups: Carling Cup: 2nd Rd vs Oldham 3rd Rd Vs Blackburn 4th Rd Vs Man Utd FA Cup: 3rd Vs Blackburn 4th Vs Bolton(haven't played it yet) Oh this save i'm playing as Man City Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hursty2 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Okay I've got one question why can't it just be random, I'm no programmer but randomising seems very easy to implement just like when you have the managers wizard at the start of your game, you select random this should just be implemented into the cup draws but on a broader scale.
