Pretty disappointing none of the things I requested to be fixed, some back at release, have been fixed, even things that got logged twice. For example the John de Jong and Vennegoor job positions.

I thought the rights to the 3. Liga and the German national team were both of the DFB? Weird they'd agree to give SI the license of the logo's, kits and names of the 3. Liga teams for the Winter Update, but don't want to have the German national team licensed anymore.

The German NT was actually licensed this year, so players didn't have to do the thing they always had to do: Could be a bug. Worth raising it in the Bugs Forum.

I don't know if this belongs in this thread or if I should go to the Europe Data Issues thread, but Baku (the capital of Azerbaijan) has a typo. In-game it's called Baki. Other translations may also have this typo, haven't checked.

Honestly, I'd be fine with any new playable country from the start, but if I had to choose one per poll: Cyprus - BIggest UEFA-country to not be playable. My personal preference would be Luxembourg, though. Egypt - One of the, if not the, biggest leagues in Africa. The rivalry between Al-Ahly and Zamalek is interesting as well. Biased option: Dutch 3rd tier - Although it'd only be an option if promotion from the 3rd tier becomes obligatory and knowing the Dutch FA, it probably won't, despite the current plans to do so. Unbiased option: 4th tier from a top league - Italy, Spain and Germany all have 3 leagues. France has 4, but the 4th is only playable if you relegate from the 3rd. The prospect of building a club from the lowest depths of a top league that's not England sounds interesting to me.

Not right now, but I'm currently considering if I should start a challenge involving every FM from 07 to 18.

Nathan Aké International caps: 7. International goals: 1 (against Italy on June 4th 2018)

Ricardinho (FC Twente) doesn't have a set shirt number. It's 2. Jari Oosterwijk's 2017/18 records (22 appearances/7 goals for Jong FC Twente in the Derde Divisie) are missing, although maybe this has to do with Jong FC Twente playing in the reserves leagues this season? Tweede Divisie history page is missing their 2018 history: 1. Katwijk 2. Kozakken Boys 3. HHC Hardenberg. The clubs who were active in the Tweede Divisie 2017/18 are missing their individual league history of that season. The clubs who were active in the 2016/17 season do have their league history saved, though. Achilles '29 are still Professional in-game. Should be Amateur.

26. FM07 was the one I started with.

Is it just me or do players rarely retire from international football this edition? I have currently two saves, one in July 2023 and one in July 2022, and in both saves only a handful of (high-profile) players have retired from international football. I know not every player retires from the national team until their mid or late 30's or even retire from football altogether after an international tournament, but almost everyone? The squads in 2023 are still mostly the same as they were at the start of the game. In one save Ramos retired in July 2021, which I thought was weird too.

Nowadays it's not so bad, but I've had some saves I quit because of a minor database error.

Timothy Fosu-Mensah has 3 caps (0 goals) for Holland. His first cap was against France on 31/08/2017.

Oh, you're right! Accidentally looked at the update date instead of the upload date. Thanks!

In addition to this, Henk de Jong always gets named as one of Koeman's possible replacements (and in one save even got the job). Besiktas manager Senol Gunes gets named too, even though we haven't had a foreign manager since Ernst Happel, 40 years ago. --- Dwight Lodeweges isn't assistant manager at PEC anymore (and not the Dutch NT U20 manager either). He's full-time assistant at the Dutch NT. This article implies Lodeweges is first assistant, so maybe an idea to make Lodeweges the assistant and Van Wonderen a coach? https://www.ad.nl/nederlands-voetbal/lodeweges-rechterhand-van-koeman-bij-oranje~a783ee7c5/ Paul Bosvelt isn't assistant at the U21 anymore. https://www.nu.nl/voetbal/5436776/kruzen-volgt-bosvelt-als-assistent-trainer-jong-oranje.html The U21's has two managers in the gamedata. Art Langeler should be removed from that job and even from the data, because his new job doesn't exist in the FM world. https://www.knvb.nl/nieuws/organisatie/berichten/47776/art-langeler-eerste-directeur-voetbalontwikkeling-bij-knvb Hans Jorritsma left the KNVB last season. https://www.knvb.nl/nieuws/oranje/nederlands-elftal/41112/hans-jorritsma-vertrekt-na-21-jaar-aan-de-zijlijn-bij-oranje
