This can be really tough. Pre match I find it hit and miss but I’ve recently started choosing to also praise defence, midfield and attack separately and telling them individually “I have faith in you” which seems to works well. At half time if I’m losing or drawing I go with the top option - the most angry one. If I’m winning by only one goal I go for the second from top - so still angry but not the worst. If I’m 2-0 up or more I say the one like “you’ve had lots of shots on target, keep it up” and that makes everyone happy normally. Hope that helps!

At the moment when you make a board request you have to do so one at a time. For me this means I’d ask my most important one first in case they turn it down in favour of another. My suggestion is to allow you to select multiple choices and submit them as one. The board could then agree to all, or some, or say they’ll only fund/allow one and you then pick which you’d choose. Additionally it would be good to have timelines/targets. For instance the board may agree but say they’ll do it at a future date or if a target is met (ie qualify for champions league). Using the suggestion above of multiple board requests in one go this could also mean the board say they’ll do one this season, and another next season etc

At the moment if you enter contract negotiations with a player but don’t have the budget it limits what you can offer, sometimes so it’s impossible to make a deal. For example they want £7,000 a week but you can only offer £40 My suggestion is, when you don’t have the budget, to allow you to offer what you could if you had room in your budget (within certain limits) but have a warning flag to say you can’t afford it at the moment and to suggest how you could. Ie “you’ll need to raise £1,000,000 transfer revenue” or “reduce wage bill by £500pw” The idea being you could agree the terms with the player and then you have a few days/weeks to find the money. At the moment you can sometimes go in with what looks like a reasonable wage budget but the game still limits what you can offer (presumably due to other ongoing contract offers) and the player will reject and refuse to speak to you again. This way the player agrees and you have time to fix, rather than the player says no, you have time to fix but they won’t speak to you now. Above I refer to “within certain limits” and what I mean by this is perhaps basing it on existing contracts. So if your highest earner is on£10k a week you can offer up to that amount.

Hi Zachary. Yes can do. Apologies I assumed you wouldn’t need it as you’d have a master list of news items. I've gone forward a fair bit since this. Does that matter or do you need the save to be before this? thanks

To add to this; I might have meant both at the time (just seen my title and realised it implies what you referred to) so thanks for clarifying the bit you checked out for me!

Hi Zachary, thanks. Actually my bug was about that note that comes up. It says an offer was accepted but it wasn’t. So I’m saying the bug is that note isn’t accurate. Hope that helps!

Thanks Kyle. You’re probably right too

Thank you :-)

Thanks @dzek. @Zachary Whyte any idea if this fix is might impact something else or is it fine to do?

I’m sure I read that this year there will be a roadmap for the game updates showing what fixes are expected to be due and when the update is likely to land. I can find two previous posts but can’t see the next one. Have I misunderstood what was going to happen? I thought it was a great idea as it’s nice to know certain issues are lined up to be fixed. @Jimmy Wongtagging you (hope you don’t mind) as you posted the previous two. Thanks

@Zachary Whyte - this has come back again for me, sorry!

@Zachary Whyteanother update. I haven’t had this happen for a long time now. hopefully it’s gone for good but I’ll report back if not. @likeastar20- is your game up to date? I’ve not had it since the latest patch so hopefully you can update and see it fixed

Hi @Zachary Whyte, just to let you know this is still happening after the recent update. Hope that helps

Not sure if this helps or not (it might have been chance) but on the news item which listed the expiring contracts (Which came after the above comment happened) I clicked on "offer contract" next to another players name and it only gave me a 1 year option (it was 1 year on top of the contract, not the same as the original bug). For the rest of the expiring contracts I renewed them by going in to the player's profile to start the negotiation and it gave me the 2 year option for all of them. Could be chance, but when I first raised this ticket it was from me clicking the "enter contract negotiations" option from the news item. Maybe that's part of it. Hope it helps!

Hi @Zachary Whyte - it's now 27th February 2024 in game and I had a news item saying Smith's contract ending in 3 months, fans concerned etc. I entered contract negotiations from that news item, couldn't put a future start date BUT I could offer a 2 year deal now! So my immediate worries have gone :). Be good if this can be checked still in case it repeats of course But hopefully that helps the investigation

Hi Zach, thanks for taking the time to look at this for me. Sorry it’s not a bug - perhaps it’s been tweaked since last year so stood out as being odd. cheers

Ok so I checked another player (Tom Smith). His contract does expire at the end of the season but he didn't show on this second news item. I'm also unable to offer him a contract starting later. I haven't gone to the next screen as don't want to annoy him if I withdraw my offer

Hi @Zachary Whyte - an update on this for you. I've just reached the end of the first year (Dec 30th) and had another news item about expiring contracts. There's less players on there now and I've tried offering to one player and I could start it in the future and offer a year. So it's a strange one. I'll go and check the other players to see what's happened but I wonder if it's to do with me choosing to match real life signings when I started. So maybe they signed new contracts in real life.......but if so I'd expect it to tell me and I'd expect them not to be on the news item (the one earlier in the save) Hope that helps!

To clarify; I'm offering this to my own players/staff. I've not tried it for anyone outside of my club

Andddd it's back. Sorry!
