wisconsin Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Seemed a bit strange, that's all. Signed him for Chelsea for £6m, just to exploit it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Neil Brock Posted March 10, 2009 Administrators Share Posted March 10, 2009 Because short term loans are not included in the game and the 'deal' was not completed until after the patch was released. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike7077 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 The latter part of the explanation is fair enough, but I remember Henrik Larsson's loan to Man Utd being on FM07 and that was considerably shorter than Beckham's loan to Milan! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crpls Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 considerably shorter? they were both originally January until early March. In fact, Beckham's may have been a couple days longer IIRC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike7077 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I honestly don't see the difference between Beckham's and Larsson's loans when it comes to implementing them. The only difficulty would be implementing Beckham's return to Milan in October. It doesn't matter to me now, though. I just edited the database.

Crpls Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 The return to Milan doesn't seem official at this point. It won't happen until January if it does. He says it's still open after the MLS season ends. I entered into my database by having him loaned to Milan until July 15 and then a future free transfer to Milan on 1/1/2010, though. As far as the Larsson loan being implemented, perhaps the Man Utd researcher at the time added it anyway. No idea, to be honest, but not adding short-term loans has been a policy for a while, AFAIK.

Mike7077 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 who cares?beck is a 33 year old ex good player. in 12 months time he wont even play fussball Well, some of us like FM to be as accurate as possible. I'm sure SI feel the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds_86 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 who cares?beck is a 33 year old ex good player. in 12 months time he wont even play fussball Wrong. Beckham is focused on being part of the world cup next summer which is 15 months away. So take a whirl on that smart arse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
homerjnick Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Doesnt matter if his loan is the same length as Larssons or not, it was not finalised until after the patch was released. IF it had been finalised then perhaps it may have been included. How hard is that to understand? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sten_super Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 As others have said, short term (i.e. 3 month) loans are not generally included in FM, as a matter of principle. How or why the Larsson loan slipped through the net I don't know, but Beckham's was correctly not entered into the database. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
homerjnick Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 The January to March loan was finalised before the patch and is similar in length to Larsson's loan.What's so hard to understand about that? No it wasn't, codelock on the DB was before the deal AND before the release of patch, read the 2nd post from the SI staff member in this thread.

Crpls Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 The lock on the DB was February 2. The initial loan was agreed, what, back in Oct/Nov? The extension and possible future transfer wasn't confirmed in time, obviously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

given1legend Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Curious how his deal where he will play for both will be implemented? Will it be a a co-ownership? Is it actually a co-ownership? Or just going to be regular loans? And if its just loans that couldn't be put in could it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamilton162 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 No, he quite often leaves LA Galaxy on the new patch as many people have bought him. There was a thread about people buying him a few weeks ago Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-dizzle Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 This has probably been suggested before but why not just put the loan in via the editor if it matters that much to you?.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crpls Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 To buy Beckham you would need to use the data update, or edit whichever data your using and lower his loyalty rating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
