Nope, nothing. Just the standard database.

[Club League Goalscorer Record Broken, Incorrectly.]

Hello,

Only a small issue but quite a strange one.

I recently received a news item in my inbox saying that my striker, Kyle Hudlin, had broken the York City league goal scoring record with 129 goals for the club. I thought this seemed a bit odd, so I checked and found that he hasn't even scored that many league goals in his career for all his clubs, let alone just for York City.

Has he paid off the club historian or something? 😂

I've attached screenshots. #JusticeForNormanWilkinson

[Gaining Chinese as 2nd Nationality]

If you are the national manager does it give you the option of asking players in this situation to swap nationality?

I've just done a quick experiment with this and I can't find any way of asking the player to consider swapping nationality.

That's very interesting! I've just checked and Elkeson is indeed 100% Chinese in FM.

I wonder if this can actually happen in the game. Has anyone ever seen it?

[Gaining Chinese as 2nd Nationality]

Thanks very much for the replies guys!

That's a shame but I suspected that may be the case! Elkeson must have been a one off.

It does however make the inclusion of a countdown to eligibility a bit odd and completely pointless if it is impossible to do so 🤔

[Gaining Chinese as 2nd Nationality]

Hi everyone,

Currently managing Hebei China Fortune as part of a journeyman save. Was initially going to be a stepping stone but I've been massively surprised by how much I'm enjoying the league, so may stick around for a while to try and build the league/nation up a bit!

I noticed that Talisca was very close to achieving Chinese nationality so went all in to sign him. Is a very good signing anyway, but even better if I can get him to pick up Chinese as a 2nd nationality. Thus not taking up a valuable foreign player slot and maybe even going on to play for China, following in the footsteps of Elkeson (I'm waiting in the wings for the China manager to be sacked so I can take over!)

He's now all signed up and has completed the 1825 days needed to become eligible but nothing seems to be happening in terms of him taking on the nationality. "Days to eligibilty" just sits on zero with nothing else happening. From memory it normally comes up saying "awaiting paperwork" or something like that and then eventually the player becomes eligible. He's never played for Brazil and hasn't declared for them.

I was hoping to do the same thing with a few other foreign players who are close to the required number of days but don't want to waste my time if not possible.

A few questions on this... Is there something I need to do to get the process started? Is it even possible for a player to become Chinese, maybe Elkeson was just a one off? Am I just being inpatient? (it's only been a couple of weeks since the number of days was achieved)  And finally, has anyone else had any luck with getting a player to gain China as a 2nd nationality and maybe even playing for them?

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated, especially if you've had a similar experience!

Cheers!

[2 matches against same team on same day????]

This happens when the fixture on that day needs to be rearranged because of a cup tie which hasn't yet been drawn but will clash with it.

Ahhhh ok, never noticed that before! Thank you for clearing that up!

[2 matches against same team on same day????]

This probably belongs in the bugs forum but I didn't know which category to put it into...

I've just noticed when checking my fixtures that my match at home to Leicester City on 31.12.22 is listed twice.

Clearly an error, possibly something to do with the strange scheduling due to the mid-season World Cup.

Has anyone else encountered this? And if so, what happens when I get to that date? Surely I won't have to play 2 games on the same day!

Interesting first game of the season in 2022 😮 (not my team)

Was only 3-1 until the 56th minute, 2 red cards will obviously not help but 13-1 is ridiculous....

I do the 19 thing too, but start with 30..just like Messi did :P

I forgot he wore 30 too! You've just given me another one 😂

[What's your FM habit?]

I also have a squad number related one. I base a lot of my number selection (outside of 1-11) on memories of former players eg...

• 16 should be a CDM - Roy Keane
• 18 should be a playmaker - Paul Scholes
• 14 and 32 should be strikers - Thierry Henry and Carlos Tevez.
• 19 should be a young talent breaking into the team - Leo Messi when he first started  playing for Barca.
• 15 and 26 should be CBs - Nemanja Vidic and John Terry.

And so on...

[Still multiple missed 1v1s. Still forwards refusing to square it and taking the shot instead.]

Been said a million times already but the ME has gone so far backwards this year that it's making me not want to play the game. Matches are just like basketball games where teams go from end to end missing one on ones. Defenders for some reason can't deal with long balls to save their lives. CBs just part like the red sea and watch strikers go through every time (and inevitably hit it straight at the keeper). 

I appreciate that the issue is being worked on and I trust that the guys will be able to fix it and get the game back to it's usual glorious self. I really can't wait for it to be sorted so that I can enjoy the game properly without wanting to throw my laptop out of the window.
