There are some mysterious 'bonus points' being allocated and I haven't got a clue why. I've looked at the rules, and can't find any mentioned. I can't find any examples of this happening in real life either.
As per the image below...
A - Sao Paulo should have 35 points, not 37.
B - Santos should have 37, not 39.
C - Bragantino (In 2nd) should have 33 not 37!!
Any explanation would save my sanity. Thanks.

These things happen in football - not as dramatic as your situation - but Brazil v Germany in the 2014 World Cup comes to mind straightaway.
7-1 in the semi-final of a World Cup!
Agreed. Hence my self-deprecating nod to the Southampton v Leicester game. To be honest, the final score is almost the least baffling thing about my match!

To the devs at SI. I love your work.... But really?
REALLY?
First of all, this is one of the most bizarre matches I've ever played. Fun, but bizarre.
That's right. The other team were called The Strongest.
A superlative hasn't been this inappropriate since R Kelly sang, "The World's Greatest".
Anyway, I digress. Back to the madness. Just the 72 shots? Go on then. I know my team (4 stars) should be beating them (2.5 stars). But this is the Copa Libertadores. It's a battering on the scale of Southampton vs Leicester City, so........ Yeah, actually, fair enough.
My boys go 10-0 up in the first half, because, why not? Then The Strongest get a player sent off just before the interval. Presumably making them The Weaker.
Nope. This being Football Manager the goal frenzy takes a back seat after that and we can only squeeze another two in towards full time. (Sorry, I know this next image is tiny due to width restrictions on this forum, but hopefully you can zoom in on it.)
Now we all know that the commentary likes to routinely lie about how much better the second half performance is, even when patently it isn't. But, come on now. I'm fairly certain 2-0 against 10 men isn't better than 10-0 against 11.
While I'm here whining about a 12-0 win, I might as well mention this. My goalie touched the ball 9 times during the whole game and didn't have a single shot to deal with, yet gets 8.4, which is astronomically high for a keeper. It makes a mockery of the goalkeeping ratings. This fella saved a penalty last week and kept a clean sheet for a paltry 7.0. It makes no sense whatsoever.
Obviously, I tore into my players and had them in for extra training the next day.

Better newgens pictures should be necessary in the next edition because now 9/10 look the same and all have a beard at 16 years old. i hope there's a plan for better faces.
This kind of feedback can surely only hinder SI in progressing the game. It's just emotional hyperbole. Sorry to pick on you specifically Will, it's just one of many examples on this forum.
Here are the first 10 16 year-old players I could find. I don't think 9/10 look the same, and they certainly don't all have a beard*. Then people will say, "Aw come on, I wasn't being literal!". Well, we should be literal, if our feedback is going to be of any use.
*I do agree, however, that even 2 x 16 year-old players here having beards is slightly unsettling.

To save everyone from trawling through 1500+ words of absolute waffle, this was the idea:

It does - Would a defender in a wall struck by a free kick be the last man - No as the GK is behind wall
What other shot is there thats on target not stopped by a GK or outfield player? One that goes in
Raise this in an alternative forum as it will get addressed. This forum is feedback

i had to edit this because people don’t like to read and think I’m complaining about it. This is NOT an complaint. I just wanted to check if this is happening to most saved games or not. If this was happening every time then I think it would be an issue. No issue here, just amazed
The title of your thread is probably the main reason people think you’re complaining. Saying Liverpool are ‘certainly’ ‘overpowered’ can only be construed as a complaint. It’s like going up to a chef and saying,
Customer : “Chef? This food seemed over-seasoned the last time I came here. It certainly is now.”
Chef : “It’s seasoned perfectly. I don’t understand the complaint.”
Customer : “Oh, you thought I was complaining? No, no, noooo! Haha. Not at all.”
Chef : “Leave me alone.”

Been thinking that this game needs new blood and ideas injected into it . ME has been complained about over the years and it can't seem to get it right . The top people in this franchise need to step aside and let some new people set new standards and ideas for this franchise to continue . They have done a great job but there comes a time to move on as they have become stagnant . The ME is very important to this game and has been lacking every year with marginal improvements. We will get the same next year im sure .. so for me anyways its new bosses , new staff , new ideas and a brand new fresh approach
How is this useful feedback? (Admittedly, neither is my reply now, but...)
SI Boss : “Guys, we’re moving out. I’m sacking everyone, including myself.”
Staff : “Huh? Why?”
SI Boss : “Prot651 suggested it, and y’know, why wouldn’t I take that on board?”
Staff : “Okay. Fair enough.”

I'd like to ask the OP why they stole those three descriptions from my Tinder profile.

I assign the scout ‘until full knowledge’. Then in the scouting centre I go to ‘scout priorities’ and look for the player on the list (will usually be last) and click the ‘prioritize’ button at the bottom.
I’d provide screenshots for clarity but I’m not in front of my PC.

This is just one example, but I often visit a player's Form page. Currently this can only be done by clicking on the player's name and selecting from their profile page. Also, I appreciate that you can't cram every single option into the right-click menu and try to please everyone.
So, how about allowing us to customize, in Preferences, the ability to add items to the right-click context menus?
For my specific example, I would want to put Form as an option when I right-click the player's name.

This is quite topical following Odegaard’s performance at his parent club in the Copa Del Rey yesterday!

This is 2020 and there is barely a passing resemblance to football happening on the pitch. Sometimes I wonder if the people who developed the game have ever actually seen a game a football.
This is unnecessarily nasty. You actually made some interesting points further on. You clearly know that SI have ‘seen a game of football’. I don’t know what people hope to achieve by spouting such vitriol.

I don't understand why people and even Miles keep bringing up stats,
Yep. I agree. I don’t know why people keep bringing up... Wait, hold on...

Woah there. 80%? Where did that stat come from? There are a lot of people here, yes, but they represent themselves. I’m a part of this community and no-one speaks for me apart from myself. I don’t know where this notion of ‘speaking for the majority’ comes from.

It’s like that horrifying/exhilarating moment when you have an injury ravaged side and you see your keeper taking a free kick because he’s the highest available taker on your list.

Why do people keep replying with ''What does it matter?''. '' What is the difference?''. '' What would be gained"? Are you reading this topic or not? It's about the question OP asked how the engine works in this case for the sake of his immersion. What are the facts on how the engine is currently opperating. The discussion is not about why it would matter to some people or what opinions other people may have on such details.
For you it doesn't ruin your immersion knowing the engine pre-calulated the 45 minutes (ruling out the AI, player interventions). Good for you. For some people it does, period. Back to the facts...
I think asking “What’s the difference?” is a valid part of the discussion and don’t think this line of enquiry should be shut out.
If someone was watching a game on TV and didn’t know whether it was absolutely live or not, it wouldn’t make a difference to one’s immersion. It couldn’t, because the viewer doesn’t know either way.
Similarly, where this thread’s argument seems to keep tripping over itself is that it claims immersion is being affected. Yet the same people are saying they’re unsure how the game is calculated.
Well, someone’s immersion can’t be broken if they don’t yet know how it works, and I would suggest that if people can’t tell either way, then the game is doing a great job in suspending belief anyway.

I agree with the OP's sentiments. However, I think that a lot of us have grown up with a game that, while it has become a much more polished and in depth experience, hasn't changed a great deal in terms of how to 'beat' it and manipulate its mechanics. It's therefore no surprise that a lot of people have become very good at it and find it too easy. But I remember it took me years to become any good at it, and if SI made the game any harder it would likely turn off newcomers.
As an aside, IMO if FM was remotely realistic (it's a bit bonkers that some people think it is) and faithful to a real career arc, it wouldn't be much fun to play. The vast majority of managers stay at a club for barely more than a couple of seasons nowadays and have nowhere near the level of responsibility that FM affords. That being said, real managers have to conduct scores of menial tasks daily. Most clubs stay around the same level IRL, rattling between the same few divisions for years, even decades, on end. All of this would be an absolute dirge to play and one may as well go get a FIFA badge and try it for real. But it's not a criticism. FM has to be unrealistic and focus on the romantic escapism of a once in a blue moon Eddie Howe-esque rise through the leagues with an underdog club.

Are players who are out with long-term injury supposed to pick up mentoring traits? I started a Chelsea save and Loftus-Cheek is out injured yet somehow managed to develop the comes deep to get ball trait. Is this normal? Seems like it should not be a thing.
I raised something similar in the bug forum. Not related to injuries, admittedly, but to do with picking up traits unintentionally.
I got an initial reply, but then I found some conflicting information and I'm still awaiting a response.
This was my original post:
And this was the conflicting information:

Just off the top of my head, Hermenegildo González was a Galician count in the 10th century Kingdom of León, tenente in Deza, and the ancestor of one of the most relevant Galaico-Portuguese lineages of the Early Middle Ages. I could be wrong though.
Coincidentally it's the name I've got lined up for my first son, if I ever have one.

Jose Mourinho leaves Spurs to start new club from scratch. The Portuguese manager quipped,
“I decided to use my earnings to create a new club. It’s what most managers do, right? Also, I’m going to design the kit myself because reasons.”

doesn't always work, many times offered players with this set and still get clubs wanting you to pay X amount of the wage
It always works. Every single time.
Sometimes you don't get any offers at all because it might put clubs off. But the offers that do come don't ask for a wage contribution.
Sure, subsequent offers may include requests to supplement the wage, but that's because they're separate bids.

Something on FM that has annoyed me for ages...
I'm fed up of non-negotiable wage contribution clauses when selling players.
Quite often I'd rather sell the player for free than have to keep him on my books in any shape or form.
Wish this would be changed.
Have you tried this? When I offer a player to clubs, I choose the 'Selling Team Wage Contribution' as an additional clause, then select 'Remove and exclude from negotiation'.

Campeonato Paulista (Brazil) - Can Someone Please Explain This For Me?
in Football Manager General Discussion
Posted · Edited by Bry
Ok. Thanks. I'm nearly at the end of the current tournament, so I'll see if I can spot anything (Those examples I showed you were from historic tables before I signed for the club).
Do I need to report it separately as a bug?
--------------------------
(Update) Y'know, it might have something to do with penalty shootouts in the knockout rounds. I've just won the quarter final on PKs. This got registered in the league as a draw, yet I seem to have been given 3 points.
