WBA_Baggies Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 My friend told me that on his game the world cup expanded to 48 nations in 2034. I told him to send me the screenshots but he ignors these requests. Can this actually happen in the game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lurkingwithintent Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Is it true that the Euro Cup is changing to 4 groups of 6, pretty sure I read that somewhere. But yes, your friend is speaking out his arse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ism-scfc Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 the clue to it not being true is what ive highlighted and made bigger and i`m not going to say why it`s not true You're trying to say there aren't 6 teams in North America, but the CONCACAF qualifying section contains USA, Mexico, Costa Rica, Honduras, Trinidad & Tobago and El Salvador. So you could technically have 6 teams, although as has been said this did not happen. I have a holidayed game from 2099, and the world cup has been the same all the way through, as has every other tournament Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WBA_Baggies Posted June 26, 2010 Author Share Posted June 26, 2010 according to him the 2034 world cup is in Italy. He is managing Brazil and is in group K. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shels_1895 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 He's talking out of his arse - I'm at 2074 and no such change takes place. How would the logistics of a 48 team WC even work out? 12 groups of 4 teams with 24/32 going into the next round? thats a hell of a lot of games, it would take over 2 months to get through that.

FrazT Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Any change in competition rules that are announced before game release or during the patch period will be implemented. Any others will not as they are hard coded. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebluesigns Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 I suppose this raises an interesting point - would people find it useful if the game DID evolve as it went along? For example, SI could hardcode a certain number of random changes to take place at certain points in the future in order to reflect possible fictional changes, such as the World Cup being expanded Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, SI could hardcode a certain number of random changes to take place at certain points in the future in order to reflect possible fictional changes, such as the World Cup being expanded I brought an idea like that up before here. There was a mixed response. About a 40 team World Cup, you might be able to use the advanced panel in the editor to create that and replace the current world cup with it, maybe that is what he has. It definitely does not come into the game automatically though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To think that the prize money and tv money would be the same in 2020 is just silly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
