Brentford Alan

Unfortunately datalock was on the 18th Oct, a day before your original post. I'm sure it will be looked at ahead of the next data update. I've requested Dyer is moved to Chesterfield on the internal database system. https://community.sigames.com/bugtracker/football-manager-2024-early-access-bugs-tracker/database-and-research/england-efl-championship-league-1-and-league-2-data-issues/english-championship-data-discussion-r16056/page/4/# There is currently a vacancy for a researcher for Chesterfield if you are a supporter of the club, please see this link if you'd be interested in joining the research team.

Please see Dean's comment in the EFL Championship thread https://community.sigames.com/bugtracker/football-manager-2024-early-access-bugs-tracker/database-and-research/england-efl-championship-league-1-and-league-2-data-issues/english-championship-data-discussion-r16056/page/4/#comments

I'm looking at the database right now, Dorrington's natural fitness field is blank as is Sarr's determination. In my save Sarr has 5 for determination and Dorrington 12 for natural fitness.

Not agreeing with you is not the same as 'not caring', please do not put words in to my mouth or make wild assumptions, it only does your argument harm. Please provide the list of names in the database, especially those who have been in it a long time with no real life jobs in football as per your claim, and I'm sure it can be looked at. 3 years after leaving that job and actively looking for a role in football is imho only just about database adding worthy, 7 years on and still not working in the sector means there is no reason for you to be in the game, from a strict realism point of view. If you get a job you'll be reinstated.

Hi, I'm the Brentford researcher so I can access the database. Arda Güler - since his move to Real Madrid only his contract and reputation fields have been amended by the Spanish team, his attributes were reviewed by the Turkish team prior to the transfer. This is entirely the correct procedure, and how I've operated for 10 years of being on the research team. Tonali - I'm not sure his ban will be in the release in 8 days time, although don't quote me on that! Other than that you haven't actually contributed by mentioning any of the changes you 'demand', let alone provide evidence of the alleged errors so I expect this thread will be closed like the others have been.

So if you haven't had a job in football in circa 7 years and don't want to be 'friends' with SI does it really matter that you are no longer in the game? You are still in the database, marked Not For Extraction like countless other staff members who haven't had a role for years. If you get a job back in football I'm sure you'll be resurrected in game. If you also have names of people showing in game who haven't worked in football for a similar time or longer I'm sure they can be similarly marked NFE.

Going by the screenshot your last paid job in football ended in 2016, is that correct?

Probably worth raising in the following forum https://community.sigames.com/bugtracker/football-manager-2024-early-access-bugs-tracker/club-vision-supporter-confidence-manager-staff-appointments/ There's nothing set in the data to stop them being interested in joining MUFC to my knowledge.

It's not going to be changed before release no matter how many threads it's posted in, but will be reviewed ahead of the winter update.

He's scored one FK in his entire career and that was in Feb 2020, nearly 4 years ago.

BM missed a host of chances last season, some easy ones as well, he's improved this season and will be reviewed for the winter update accordingly. He does have plenty of CA-PA space to allow growth as the game progresses,. Increasing Toney's finishing would also have a large CA impact, so we'd need to lower other attributes accordingly. I'd suggest the others may be over rated and need decreasing, personally. There's too much focus in the FM community on raising players attributes just because someone else has a high rating. His penalty taking is rated at 19 already, and a lot of his success is down to outsmarting the GK rather than pinpointing them in to the top corner. He will of course be reviewed for the winter update when he's back playing.

If we put 10 in on every unknown attribute for every kid on the game we'd have a very boring and repetitive game with hundreds of players all being extremely similar, hence why we leave it to chance. You'll have youth team players that have benefited with high attributes generated on start up as much as this one player is at a disadvantage. There is always the in-game editor when the full release happens in a few days, or create a new save. There are plenty of examples of players who get to the top level without really putting in the hard yards, so this is a bit of a non-argument.

SI will have run thousands, and if they are unhappy with the overall trend they will amend the data accordingly. IRL Spurs form could drop off the edge of a cliff this weekend for all we know of the future (although I don't suppose it will!).

- is used when the statistic is not known I believe Caicedo was at Brighton when the 23-24 season started (transferred to Chelsea 3/4 days after the first game) so it's entirely correct that he has a line entered for 0 appearances at Brighton. Duplicated transfer fee is a coding error that is being looked at as mentioned in a few other threads

Yes, quite normal where we researchers haven't seen a lot of a certain player. No it won't be a 'low number' each save, sometimes it'll be a much higher figure. It's entirely the same chance of generating as 3, 8, 14 or 20, and all others in between!

H&W have the affiliation as 'likely friendly' only, could this be causing conflict?

Definitely looks that way having seen DCastle's post above, £17m + the £36m in the 3 database clauses = £53m. Working fine in 'original' mode though.

I haven't said the researcher/s used those sources, I said a quick search throws them up. I'm sure this game breaking error will be amended in due course

The Porto researcher wouldn't have access to Fernandes' likes field, so that accusation holds no ground. I've found two links that say he is (or was when young) a Porto fan in a quick search. https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/bruno-fernandes-fun-facts/blt3b0c9a82bc91f3a9#cs6a32ee75c012fc86 https://www.worldsoccer.com/best-of-ws/shooting-star-bruno-fernandes-409563 If it's a mistake, it happens. Please calm the language down, no one has put it in there to sabotage the game.

Aug 31st is the cut off rather than the first game of the season.

Already a thread on this one.

I started my game in 'original' mode, have you started in 'real world' mode?

Player values are not set in the database, they're calculated by the game based on a number of factors.

Showing as £23m on my game and in the database.
