One Year Contract Renewals for Over x Age (Board Preference)

Thanks for sharing this with us. In the example you've given it would be good to see what has already taken place and what subsequent negotiations yield. There's no guarantee we would be able to get it to reproduce on our side. If you can share your save game it will make it a lot more efficient for our QA team to investigate. A guide on uploading your save is available here: 

 

Hi @Michael Sant,

I've uploaded the oldest save game file I have, in game date is December 9th. Unfortunately (I've tried my 3 rolling save files) you can't do any negotiations relevant to this bug, however you can view prior examples. The save game file is called 'Geronimo Dalli - A. Bilbao (v03) and is on the cloud.

Prior examples would be to look at the contracts of Yuri and Raul Garcia compared to their original deals (Yuri reduced by a year and lower wage, Raul Garcia lower wage - by this time I might even have lowered it twice...). Both won't enter negotiations for a new deal having 'recently signed a new deal'. Yuri has had a substantial wage reduction, and contract reduced from 2024 end date to 2023. Raul Garcia has had multiple wage reductions through signing new deals during the season without extending the contract length - I think he starts on 140k and he's now on 68k.

I can only assume it's due to the board favoured policy as Inigo Martinez who is just under the age limit for that policy at 31 only requests multi year extensions, whereas the guys over 32 are limited to end of season deals. Dani Garcia is also over 32, but being slightly younger on a much lower wage, he asks for a slight wage increase whereas Raul Garcia and Yuri were content to take salary reductions - both Yuri and Raul Garcia have high salaries given their age, ability etc at the start of the save.

 

Thanks for sharing the save game with us. It gives the QA some more to work with which helps investigating. The contract reduction for Yuri is probably something worth checking our side too.

Yeah the whole thing seems like a bug linked to the board favoured policy of one year deals for over 32s…like they would happily accept a lower wage on a 2 or 3 year deal, but something is forcing the game to default to end of season deals only and the players accept it as if it’s actually a longer deal
