Perfect_Record Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I'm about to start the world cup as Ivory coast manager but there are no keepers available to select. Can anyone help me correct this problem? Thankyou. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elgreenio Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 have you actually done a player search? (your title only says in the national pool). If not, start looking at your outfield players GK rating Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfect_Record Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 have you actually done a player search? (your title only says in the national pool).If not, start looking at your outfield players GK rating I have, sorry poorly worded title. There are no Ivorian goalkeepers apart from some greyed out which I cannot access. If I quit as manager and just watch however then they have GK's in their squad.

MrPompey Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Did you load all players from Ivory Coast at original game start? I'm guessing not and this is the issue, so you are unable to manage simple because as you say there are insufficient GK's for you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I manage Manchester United and loaded England Italy and Spain, I just took the Ivory coast job part time as it became available just before the World Cup. Is there any way around my problem?

EBOUE Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I got offered this position 1 1/2 years into my management career at Auxerre. Turned it down though Good Luck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebellsareblue Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I'm about to start the world cup as Ivory coast manager but there are no keepers available to select. Can anyone help me correct this problem? Thankyou. I have the same problem with Nigeria. I loaded up a dozen or so leagues from various nations, Nigeria wasn't one, is Nigeria in the game? Anyway couple seasons in, think just after the 2010 World Cup, half a dozen International vacancies at various levels appeared. I applied for them all and was offered the job as their manager, which I accepted. Few weeks later I'm asked to choose my squad for the first qualifer for the African Nations Cup, some great players e.g.Mikel (Chelsea), Yakubu (Everton) BUT only one GK, the reserve at Wolves I think, Ikeme (sp?). He got injured long-term and I've had to resort to checking my outfield players for highest GK rating, think it's a 4!!! I've heard the same GK 'bug'/issue mentioned in other threads too, usually in relation to African national sides, don't know if it's something that could be addressed in the next patch with a few lines of code, maybe just give you a 'greyed out GK' as a default if a national side doesn't have any GK to select? I'm certainly not going to start every savegame loading all players from certain nations just incase I'm offered the national team job further down the line.

Pob Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 You should get a couple of greyed goalies in your squad before a match if you have none availble for selection... I don't think you even have to leave space in the squad, so you could have a squad of all outfield players and the greys will still appear (I have managed Senegal, but was lucky enough to have 2 goalies in the database) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played an African Nations Cup Qualifier last night, and my one and only GK, was injured. Had to compare the GK ratings of all my outfield players and play the AMR in goals. He had a rating of 4, I think. Then got a really odd media comment/news item expressing disbelief that I was playing 'player x' in GK!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pob Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I definitely played with grey goalies at times... the greys tended to do better than my 2nd choice goalie so if my 1st choice wasn't available I wouldn't select any goalies! Come to think about it, it might not have been FM09 :S Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pob Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 9.0.2, but as I say I don't know which patch it was or even if it was 09 when i played with greys... grey ability and production does vary a lot between patches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elgreenio Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Pob i think, IIRC thats how it worked in older versions because i remember getting a few greys in my day, and they were always absolutely awesome, maybe that led them to being cut from this (or whatever ) version Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so I'm afraid. Its advisable, unless running other countries leagues in full, to ensure all players from countries you may like to manage are loaded. Its a game start option. If you have loaded a small database only then you are stuck I'm afraid For future, perhaps its worth a good examination of the squad before accepting the role? I'd probably resign and wait for a country to have a vacancy with more players Good Luck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo22 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Could you not use a editor to create a couple of Ivorian GK's? That is if you really want to manage them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argel Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 This is actually an issue, a few people have complained about it in the OTF thread and on OTF2. Seems to be African nations mainly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argel Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 As a minimum, I always select to load all players from 1 team in each of the continents Ah, but for me that leads to problems. If for example, you load up all of the players from say, Peru (random) then you'll quickly find European leagues are full of those players, when IRL the % of players who ever play outside of the Peruvian Domestic league is very small. Unfortunately, the only way around this is to literally load every league, which in turn slows down your game too much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Neil Brock Posted January 28, 2009 Administrators Share Posted January 28, 2009 This is an issue we are aware of and looking into - for now if you have the intention of managing a particular country then load the leagues at the start of the game. Thanks for bringing it up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, the only way around this is to literally load every league, which in turn slows down your game too much. I've combatted that by loading all players from the top league of every nation. That way you get enough players from every nation but not too many. Game is currenty in 2015 and is speedy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argel Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Kev :*) I play England/Spain/Italy/France/Germany/Brazil/Argentina/Belgium/Holland all on full. If I could run 2 more from each continent I'd quite like to, but I don't want to tax the computer at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for bringing it up. How would you know,which country you'd like to manage from the start, where is the randomness?I think we need another solution,maybe the option to load up all the players from this country at the moment of accepting the job.

Use an editor ,best real time editor and give one of the players a lot of good GOALIE stats.This would work.I had to do it, when managing the IVC.
