jamesb123 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Will probably be a stupid question, but why aren't the real fixtures used in the game? Is it make it abit more random and less repetative, or is it just impossible to code? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeeman27bob Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 It will make it alot less repetative. Also these fixtures would only take place in the first season and if you think of all the different leagues there are in the game, you have to add the fixture list for each of these leagues Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serpico Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 The real fixtures aren't used because the cost of licensing them for use in a computer game would be huge. Small benefit, big cost = non-starter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AB-forever Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Well, haven't somebody made an unofficial real fixtures-file or something that works? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinso Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 always wondered about that myself, now i know. tbh i dont think having the real fixtures would add anything to the game, as we go through a season way quicker than they do irl, so it would be pretty pointless... about the only thing i can say it would bring is you could compare your results with the actual team, but even then the cup competitions wouldnt match up...

jamesb123 Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 Never really been that bothered about it, was just something i've wondered about when playing the game but always forgot to ask. Cheers for the replies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormz30000 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 In the spurs fm07 data thread, our researcher (paulinho) made a txt file using the unique IDs of PL teams so the game would simulate the real 06/07 fixtures in the PL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
homerjnick Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 In FM07 you could add eal fixtures usign a text file but in FM08 it was removed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
