I'm playing with Bath in VNS and it's first season in game. If I try and offer a contract to a player or member of staff (whose contract expires at end of season) the contract length available is only until the end of the existing contract. There's no option to make the contract start at a later date, it's fixed to immediate, and there's no option to offer 18months or anything. If I'm honest I'm not sure if this is a bug or a limitation put on me by the club but I can't find it anywhere which says about it. To recreate go forward a couple of clicks and you'll get the news item about expiring contracts.

In this match i've jus played the ball is a weird brown colour and very difficult to follow on the screen.

I'm a Vanarama South club and just about to play my second (of three) qualifying matches to get in to the first round proper. During a press conference I'm asked how much further I can take the club in the competition and one of the answers is saying "it's not unrealistic to think we could win it now" Saying we could win it is unrealistic and the use of the word "now" implies that it thinks my performance to date has led me to this conclusion. I've seen this in my previous press conference too. Would be good if these options are removed for the very early rounds and/or for clubs lower down the pyramid

I've got short corners set up as my main corner routine. Nearly every corner results in the ball being played back in to the taker and he's always offside. I'll upload some match files but it will only be right at the beginning where you see the issue because I have to change it. Hopefully the files are the ones you need to look in to this? There's been a big gap between me playing my save so I might be misremembering slightly but I can't remember a single short corner not resulting in offside. Hope this helps Bath City v Hampton & Richmond.pkm Bath City v Weston-super-Mare.pkm Eastbourne Borough v Bath City.pkm

In my game/manager set up I picked options for me being from the United Kingdom, however the game starts with the salary done in $. Maybe it's an option I've missed but it doesn't seem right given where I'm playing the game from (as in physically) and the options I picked during set up. It also had the wages set to be worked out annually. This feels like (Although I'm not sure) an American way of looking at it , so doesn't feel right again. Hope that helps

Just gone on to the tactic induction and picked my tactic. It looks like I've finished the induction now (All good). I start picking my players and from the tactic screen I clicked in to a specific player, then hit the back arrow on my keyboard to go back to my tactic and it had the Tactic Induction window over the screen. I could skip it, but it didn't feel right to prompt me to start the induction/create a tactic again

When starting a new game you can choose to have attribute masking turned off or on I might be getting confused but the last sentence of the tooltip for attribute masking appears wrong. It says to leave the box unchecked to display all info.....but you tick the box to disable the masking. I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong

On a player profile if I click through Reports>Player performance I can't get analytics for some of my players. For instance Tom Smith. I have access to the data hub and unusually for my midfield visualisations only one of my midfielders shows up (Chris Lines) and Tom Smith does not. They've both played the same amount of league games (although only 3 this season so far). If I'm honest I'm not sure if this is intentional or a bug, but I think it's more likely a bug than on purpose as there's no notes/wording to explain why the analytics aren't available Just flicked through and Nathan Tormey and Cody Cooke both don't get any analytics. To be clear too.....I can't even ask for one. I click on the option (in player performance) and whatever I type nothing comes up.

I'm playing in the Vanarama South in the UK and after the first season I've been sent a news item where I can vote for some Belgian manager's award. Save game is quite far in advance I'm afraid. I'm not an international manager either, in case that impacts this

The dynamic timeline has a marker to say we finished the season with a record points total. The total shown was the pts at the time of us winning the league, not finishing the season. So we finished on more points than shown in the timeline. I don't have a save before this I'm afraid but have uploaded one at the time of the timeline popping up (via the end of season review thingy)

When I hover over a staff member's "i" icon to see a profile popup it doesn't show the staff profile for the role they have (not all staff roles). For instance in this screenshot the person is my head of sports science but the default role it's showing is that of a director of football. It appears to happen only for certain job roles. If you go to my staff screen to see them all you'll see that: Head physio Head of sports science Chief scout All default to DoF. It looks as though this is happening when the staff role doesn't show up on the screen itself and you'd have to scroll on the pop up window to see it. On a larger monitor perhaps it will show all of the roles and therefore will show the correct staff role on the pop up

I'm not sure if this is a bug to be honest. But for the last 4 or so matches I get an "Expectations for the upcoming match against [team name]" before every match. I'd only seen it previously when I was facing either a rival team or during cup match, which made me think this was meant to be for specific matches rather than all. Save before this (maybe potentially during, I can't remember) is "data hub". Save game uploaded today is "expectations" and it's after I've seen this again. If you go to the next match then hopefully it will come up again

I've actually logged this as a feature request in case it's not a bug. I offered a player of mine a new contract (as his was expiring in 3months) and the next day during a pre match press conference I was asked about that player's contract but none of the options were relevant. You'll see from the screenshot that the options either say it's not going to happen, or that nothing has happened yet. I'd expect the game to know I offered a contract and provide a suitable response based on that. If I'd not offered a contract then the two positive options would make sense. The only save game I have is ages away but if you go forward to 26th February 2023 it will hopefully throw up the new item that prompted by contract offer (a news item titled "Bath could lose Frear". If not then offer him a new contract (one he seems happy with) on the 26th and the pre-match press conference the following day will hopefully ask for this.

In Data Hub, Team, Analyst Report I saw this today (see screenshot). The wording here (although probably randomly generated) is a bit misleading. You'll note that it calls 13 out of 43 "alarming" but it doesn't use that type of language for 15 out of 43, which is a more alarming stat. This is a very minor thing, but when glancing at this you'd assume that due to the word "alarming" that specific point is worse than the one below it

When you ask your DoF to suggest potential transfer targets you can select multiple players and then click on "Get scout report" (towards bottom right of screenshot) but the button itself doesn't change colour or anything to indicate it's been done. If you click through each player you'd selected (afterwards) they are all now being scouted, but it's not clear from the earlier button press. I've only tested this when I've asked them to suggest loanees. I assume it's the same for any type though
