desigan Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Hi SI, Today CAS (Court of Arbitration for Sport ) has imposed a 2 transfer window ban on Barcelona, will this also be implemented in FM2015? Thanks, Desigan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWaRFeGa Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Probably. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
baronia Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 FIFA did, for what that's worth - but yes, though I'm not exactly an SI representative, I imagine it will be implemented. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris0710 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I would NOT expect this to be implemented in FM15. Already Barcelona seem to be saying that won't accept the decision and try yet another appeal. If this happens then i can't see a final decision reached by the time FM15 comes out. With it still being undecided i can't imagine SI implementing such a sanction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigpapa42 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 The ban is currently in place for 2015. So it only becomes incorrect if the CAS appeal wins. Would prefer to have it in the game (unless CAS overrturns before the game is released) but not hard-coded, so that it can be removed by a user if they choose.

forameuss Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 If it hasn't been absolutely ratified, or if there is any doubt come the data lock, then it won't be in there. That's pretty much the policy with any data issue I think. I imagine they'll err on the side of caution and not include it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZJordan Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Most likely, but I think everyone should be concerned about Barcelona, Xavi is getting on, Ivan Rakitic isn't exactly Iniesta or Xavi. Real Madrid will dominate the next few years... but Barcelona will have a big transfer kitty available to them when the ban is over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sporadicsmiles Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I would imagine it will be in the game, and if it is overturned it will be hotfixed out of the game, since it is a trivial thing to do. There, I added my speculation to this steaming pile =D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris0710 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 It has already been sanctioned, they are just appealing with CAS against the decision. Although CAS could possibly overturn it, it would make more sense that it was implemented because it currently stands.The ban was initially sanctioned in April but during an appeal process the ban was lifted until a decision, hence the massive summer spending. I would expect that to be the same case when it goes to CAS, so IMO it won't be in FM15 unless the appeal is heard quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_lcfc Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Although there's a while until the next window now and CAS don't seem to mess around too much when coming up with decisions, or at least they didn't in the case of Suarez and Legia saga's. It's Fifa who drag these things out because they are waiting for all the bribe money to come through the letter box. Tbf, in both of those cases they had to be dealt with quickly (Uruguay had a game a few days later and Legia's was within the fortnight) so I'd be surprised if there was another hearing in time for the release of the game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luizinho Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Most likely, but I think everyone should be concerned about Barcelona, Xavi is getting on, Ivan Rakitic isn't exactly Iniesta or Xavi. Real Madrid will dominate the next few years... but Barcelona will have a big transfer kitty available to them when the ban is over. Yeah they looking really bad at the moment! Messi, Saurez & Neymar as front three and Rakitic basically carried Sevilla to the Europa League last year! He's a top act. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrazT Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 If it hasn't been absolutely ratified, or if there is any doubt come the data lock, then it won't be in there. That's pretty much the policy with any data issue I think. I imagine they'll err on the side of caution and not include it. SI have often said that in essence, this post summarises their position pretty accurately. The exact position at the time of data lock will be looked at and decisions will be made, but only at that point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
