They return to the Ricoh Arena at the start of the 21/22 season on FM anyway.
I reported it after hearing it on the news then did see it’s correct anyway! Haha!

The database for the final update was Monday 1st March. Anything that happened after that date is too late for inclusion in the update, which is due "when it is ready".
We do not wait for any speculative event to happen to launch any update. That simply isn't how it works.
Does it usually take up to 2 weeks after the cut off to get the update out? This one seems like a longer delay than normal!

Coventry City have announced that they’ll be returning to playing their home games at the Ricoh Arena at the beginning of next season until 2031.
Could this be added to the game for the 21.4 update? Or is it gunna be too late?

You can’t play Moukoko until January for Dortmund in game where as in real life he made his debut the day after his 16th birthday as you don’t have to register players under the age of 21. The game makes you have to register him which you shouldn’t have to!
I’ve also come across a glitch where if you signed a free player after November 20th, it seems to open a registration window where you can register any unregistered player, not just the one signed. This probably shouldn’t be allowed, but you should be able to register Moukoko before January 1st without this glitch.

Hi @elliotdanks
We've fixed this as best we can for the next update, but we aren't able to provide a code fix for current save games.
We won't be amending the age rule that someone can sign a pro contract, because 17 was confirmed to us by the Bundesliga, very recently.
Unfortunately, a code change around the contract negotiation prevention, right after he signs his pro contract (in November 2021), was causing too many knock-on affects to other players in the save game, and this situation with Youssoufa Moukoko is an extremely isolated case. Of course, we appreciate that if you have the player in your team it would be a very big deal to be given the opportunity to negotiate a contract beyond June 2022. However it was too risky to modify anything that could disrupt the entire contract renewal process we have.
What we did do is modify the player slightly. The contract details will remain the same and he will still sign his pro contract on 20th November 2021. However, when a club approaches to sign him, he will be far more reluctant to leave on a free and if a user approaches to sign him from January 2022, they will likely see this dialogue below, from the player's agent.
With these changes, we've gone through to the 22/23 Bundesliga season several times, and in every case the user or AI managing Dortmund has been able to have some negotiations with Moukoko, for a new deal. This will be available to the manager of Dortmund about 4 months after he moves onto his pro deal.
I've put in a request to fix this one better in the future, but this is the best we can do for now.
Brilliant thank you, a lot of people will be relieved by this. I very much appreciate the feedback and effort to put this right.
Now just make it so that we can register him before January, make him left footed and the right height and we’re golden! Haha!

There's a few hurdles in the way for us to be able to do exactly what you've suggested.
The biggest one being that we need to reflect the terms of his real-life current contract until June 2022.We can't make any changes to the contract data, but have the issue where you're unable to negotiate with Moukoko under review.
Also.... I know it’s newspaper article so take it with a pinch of salt. It says he signed a pro deal at 16?
When they changed the age that you can play in the Bundesliga from 17 to 16, did they also change the rules so that you can sign a pro deal at 16? If that’s implemented in the game that would also change things as you’d be able to negotiate earlier due to him signing the deal earlier?0 -

Lovely, is this issue likely to be sorted for the final winter update? Or do you have no idea yet currently?

Hi @Babafingo.
It looks like he's just become old enough to be switched onto the pro contract that we've set for him in the database. This is due to him turning 17 years old.
Could you confirm if after a couple of weeks or months you're able to offer him a contract at Dortmund?
Also, could you confirm where he left your club, to sign for? I can't see that in any of the screenshots.
Isn’t the easiest solution for this to just remove the pro contract you’ve set for him and put him on a youth contract? That way the player can decide when you offer him a pro contract like with any other youth player? If you waited until his 17th birthday to offer him a pro contract you’d get him on a 2 year deal and this would remove that issue?

Is there an update as to whether this will be fixed for the final winter update? I’m sort of in a limbo state where I’m only 6 months into a Dortmund save so if it gets sorted for then I’ll probably stop this save and wait!

It could be as suggested above, that it's something specific to Mac, albeit would be very unusual and quite surprising as there's almost no differences between versions. I don't have a Mac here (the studio is all working remotely currently) but will get a colleague to check.
Thanks, I’ve started a new save and have moved on. Each new game starts with the bug there, but then after around January 2021 it seems to disappear and start working correctly.
The only thing left is the thing where on the Club History, where you click the managers tab, it lists the trophies that Ole wins at United twice. But that’s the only thing as far as I can see so I’ll take that as a win 🤷🏼♂️😂

Wanna send me the file I also game on MacBook and steam see if I see the issue?
I don’t think it’s specific to that save. It seems to be specific to some certain systems or specific criteria as I’ve seen many other players also have the issue.

Okay, I started a new game using my graphics and stuff from before. But I’m using the new update. The bug was there at the start, then I’ve simmed an in game year and some point in that year it’s gone away and fixed itself during that save. The only issue that seems in place now, under Man Utd’s history under the managers tab, and Trophies that United seem to win log twice. That seems to be it now?
I’m lost as to what is causing it. I’m loading up my long term save from before and gunna sim some time and see if the game decides to fix it at some point.

Complete Fresh install of the demo from Epic Games (I didn't even have Epic before today so its completely fresh).
Quick start for England. Unemployed....Solskaer....Bug is there still! FML.

It's really quite odd as said, we're not seeing what you are from the same save as here it all appears correctly. I've even checked his reputation within the same save comparing it with a 'new game' and it's definitely been changing over time. He's gone from 3 stars to 4.5 and I've seen the numbers under the hood in that specific save.
Just a couple of things to confirm - are you on Epic or Steam? Your Macbook, what operating system is running on it? Is it one of the new ARM M1 systems?
So, on a closer inspection. The rep does seem to have been working before, and is now too, I must have been mistaken there.
The things that seem to be an issue is the 2019-2019 in history. Then the other things that don't seem to log are in his achievements, in his biography and under Man Utd's history if you click the Managers tab it comes up with a list of achievements and they don't log there either.
I'm on steam, im just in process of downloading the epic version but in demo form (I definitely don't want to pay again haha!) to see if that's the issue.
Im running a MacBook Pro 16" with 32gb Ram, the 2.3 Ghz Intel Version, running Big Sur 11.2.1.

It's definitely something specific to your system and/or game setup as I've got the save you provided here and it shows the information correctly. Try removing your cache and preferences folders as shown here and see if that helps - https://support.sega.co.uk/hc/en-gb/articles/360015199257-How-to-Delete-my-Preferences-and-or-Caches-Folder
I've now tried this but to no avail. On that save game and a New Game. Still there. Any other ideas? It's such a petty bug but one that comes into play in long saves and effects the natural flow of the game when his rep doesn't improve even if he wins loads of trophies

I’ll reply just here from now on then, was unaware which one I should be replying on haha!
I’ll do that shortly again when I can get back to the game. However, as I said, I’d moved the steam Football Manager 21 and the Sports Interactive Football Manager 21 folders to a separate location so when I reinstalled the game wouldn’t that have effectively deleted my Cache or Preferences as they created brand new folders in their places?
I’m running the game on a MacBook from steam if that helps narrow it down?

Not seeing this from your save in 21.3 - can you check again please? There's the interim manager phase listed (2018-2019) then permanent as 2019 followed by a dash as he's still managing the club.
Let us know, thanks.
I've just done a complete fresh install of the game, moved all the old folders from steam and the documents folder to elsewhere so it makes new ones on the install. Moved over just one saved game file, and the bug still there the same as before, and still happens with a new game?

Hi @elliotdanks.
Please could you upload your most recent save game for us to look at?
Many thanks for your help, whilst we look into why this has happened.
I have done so, Elliot Danks - Unemployed Backup

Thanks @elliotdanks - I have checked the database for Solskjaer's Non-Player history, and that is set correctly, with a start date as Utd manager but no end date. Also his club contract is set correctly as "date last signed" 28/3/2019 and due to expire next summer. I'll see if I can get this to the people who can fix it.
Yeah I had checked over the pregame editor and everything seemed fine with him which is even more strange on how to fox the issue. I’ve asked around people who play the game and it seems around 50% of people are getting the issue! I can really see any common themes as to why it’s happening! Thank you!

For as long as I remember, the Adaptability and Working with Youngsters stats have been impossible to improve.
When starting the game Unemployed with no badges or experience, when your stats start at 1, to then being 10 years into a save and the rest have improved but these are still 1 can be incredibly frustrating.
Can we get an official answer for once on this if it’s by design or is it just a long standing bug?

Has anyone else had the issue that in Ole Gunnar Solskaer history has him as United Manager 2019-2019 so no matter what he does there, non of his achievements log correctly?
is there something I can do to fix this in a save game?
Can any of the mods take a look at this? ive had it on every save since release and as far as im aware, others have too? seems quite a large bug.
As you can see in screenshot 2, im in 2027 and he's won multiple awards, league titles, champions leagues and they haven't logged. his biography says he's been out of work since 2019 and his rep also fails to improve due to this error also!

Bump.
What are the chances of getting my save looked at to see if this can be fixed?

Goal missing from XG
in Match Engine - AI and Tactics
Posted
Just a small bug to note. One of my players played a deep early cross. What looked like a miscommunication between Gk and Defender meant the ball just went straight in. The game definitely seems confused by it as it hasn’t logged on the XG match history or on the shot map. Definitely seems like a match engine glitch as it proper rolled in and the keeper was around 15 yards out of goal!
