  • Pre-set transfer embargoes overwritten by in game board takeovers and unloaded leagues

    Despite adding (with the pre-game editor) a transfer embargo with an end date far in the future, some of the embargoes are getting removed by certain events in the game, such as

    1) a team undergoing a board takeover in which a new transfer embargo is placed and then removed

    2) a team being promoted from an unplayable league into a playable one

     

    I tried changing the "Transfer embargo type" setting in pre-game editor, but it fixed none of the problems.

     

    Have never encountered this issue in previous versions of FM, where I was able to simulate decades of game time without any transfer embargo being overwritten/removed.

     

    In the attached files and screenshots (same save from dates 02.07.22 and 01.09.23), I added a transfer embargo until 1/7/2122 to all teams in England top four leagues, with only the top three loaded as playable. Bradford City, Salford, Mansfield and Leyton Orient were promoted from League Two in season one, and all had their transfer embargo removed upon season update day. Bolton had a board takeover completed on 21/5/23, and were able to be active in the following transfer window.

    Hello, as there aren't any real life examples of never-ending transfer bans, it's not something we'd look to implement.

    One possible solution to the problem would be for you to edit the rules of a league, and select Financial Fair Play Rules under Fixture Rules of the nation, then perhaps set it so that if a team spends a certain amount of money on transfers/wages, they will receive a transfer embargo. We believe that's the best way to go.

    Well, it's not really something to 'implement', as it was already a feature in every recent edition of the game, but for some reason doesn't work anymore in 23. I understand that you're not going to consider it as an issue though, so I'll try out some makeshift solutions.
