LutonNil Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 ....to talk about the 2nd FM2009 patch but please would the people responsible for the transfer update make any changes between the August transfer deadline and the end of the January window as FUTURE TRANSFERS and not as someone signed in January as being with the club all season Please Please Pretty Please It's always annoyed me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike7077 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I wouldn't like that. It would be unrealistic to have so many future transfers in the game. Plus, I think SI like to make sure that the game always starts with fully up-to-date squads. I understand your point, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutonNil Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 Just realised you may be managing a team and have to sign players you don't want The other option is NO updated transfers - I would actually prefer that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

count blake Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 You are so right!....It is early to be talking about some 2nd patch for this game, which I don't even know it ain't out yet. A decent solution would be for two patches to be released at the same time, one with new transfers, one without, however I highly doubt that'll happen.

David Johnston Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 You are so right!....It is early to be talking about some 2nd patch for this game, which I don't even know it ain't out yet. A decent solution would be for two patches to be released at the same time, one with new transfers, one without, however I highly doubt that'll happen. That is exactly the way it does happen I think. There is usually a patch with data update and a patch without data update. When you start a new game you are even asked which database to use, so you could use the original database even with the new patch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mezzair Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 The old Calico update used to do that on CM03/04. Awesome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

glamdring Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 It's utterly unrealistic to have transfers from real life after the game start data anyway so it doesn't really matter how they are applied so long as it is optional and I can use the (more) proper database, even though that too is incorrect.

LutonNil Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 You could still patch the game but not use the updated database then there won't be updated transfers. There wasn't a patch only in Feb this year IIRC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike7077 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 There wasn't a patch only in Feb this year IIRC I don't understand that sentence. But I also don't understand why you still have an issue. When you get the new patch, just play with the original database. You'll get all the benefits of the patch, but without the January transfers.

Not entirely sure either but I think he's refering to the fact that there was 2 versions of the 8.0.2 patch released. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LutonNil Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 I meant that there was only one patch (with update) in Feb Can't play with original DB after the patch because my DB is VERY heavily edited - 2000+ new players and 4 clubs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike7077 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 yes - if there is a patch without the updated database - that's my point - there wasn't one in February Aaaaghhh! It doesn't matter if the patch carries the new database. Just don't select that database when you start a new game. Select your edited one. You'll still get all the patched goodness. Just without the transfers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jod123 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 You can use an database after you have patched up including 8.0.0, 8.0.1, 8.0.2 or any other custom or edited database you may have. If you don't use the 8.0.2 database then the updated January transfers will not be in the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJG123 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 One thing that does annoy me slightly is that with that patch, previous data issues will have been fixed, however you can only use those if you also have the january transfers in there, which i don't want Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJG123 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Data issues as in players uprated/downgraded - more changes are made than just transfers - but you can't get those without the transfers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
