[Fixture Issues]

We're reviewing this and investigating, thank you for the spot. 

I've just got towards the end of my first season and I have made it to the Europa League final with Arsenal playing against Tottenham - What a story! There are also only two games left in the league and I am challenging the title.

However, our last game of the season (and Tottenham's last game of the season) has just been rearranged as we are both playing in the final meaning that we won't be playing the title decider on the same day at the same time like everyone else (and like it would normally be in real life).

You can see below the two sets of fixtures for the Premier League below after the rearrangements.

This really does take away all the excitement of the last game of the season - Especially when it will be a title decider. It's also something that just wouldn't happen in real life. Is this something that can be fixed for release?

If you'd like to provide the pkm of the match in which this has happened then our QA team can revisit it. A guide on uploading your files is available here: 

 

I have justed uploaded a .pkm file to this area as suggested - This time of another match in the Europa League against Nantes as this has been happening in every match played in the competition. The file is called 'arsenalnantes_europaleague.pkm'. I have also added a few new screenshots above from different stages within a match showing the ball at various heights.

Thanks for looking into this. I must say - I am absolutely loving this year's game.

I can absolutely guarantee that the ball is not in the air in that screenshot or if it is in fact in the air, the ball is then actually in the air for the entire match as that is the smallest the ball gets at any time during the match. Pretty impressive stuff to keep it in the air for that long...

Just some further screenshots as requested below:

These are screenshots where the ball is in the air

These are screenshots where the ball is on the ground

Based on the different texture being used for the match balls and where the shadow is on the first screenshot (to the left of the ball) the QA team have looked into this and concluded the ball is in the air. It's something we can always review with further screenshots, but it feels like this is displaying correctly.

Thanks for taking the time to share this one with us. Our QA team will investigate further. It's been many years since I used 2D myself, a little niggling memory suggests this might be the case on things like goalkeepers/long high balls played down the field. Either way, best to let QA check.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. It certainly does get bigger when the ball is in the air (closer the the camera) and yes, goalkeepers or long high balls fits into that.

However, this screenshot shows the ball when it is being played along the ground - Just a simple pass. This is the smallest the ball gets - It's certainly gets much bigger at times during the match.

Since noticing this initial fixture issue, I have seen even more issues with unrealistic fixture scheduling - This time featuring teams that are playing in the Champions League. As you will see below, there are Premier League teams playing their Champions League matches in midweek and then playing their next Premier League match on the following Friday - This just wouldn't happen in real life.

The amount of Friday night games scheduled in the Premier League in general also seems rather unrealistic. Can the balancing or weighting on this be adjusted?

For reference, in the next 'normal' game directly after the Europa League game above, the matchball certainly is smaller...

I don`t get this EVERY time, but often enough to make me annoyed.

When i want to make subs i always prefer to drag players into the big tactic overview (second image). So when this option is not by default it leads to one extra click, which doesn`t sound too bad, but it gets annoying over time.

Exactly my feelings - It's not an awful bug but it's one of those that gets incredibly tedious and annoying after having to do it on a regular basis!

Could you please send us your save file, thank you.

 

Hi Zachary,

I have now uploaded this save file via the SI Cloud Service as requested. The name of the file is called 'arsenal_betasave'.

[Unrealistic Transfer Values | Transfer Listed Players]

Thanks for the reply @Abdullah Patel!

 

Essentially, their transfer value / asking price could be that low because the club are trying to get the player off the books or as another previous comment suggested, that particular club are in some sort of financial trouble?

If so, then that would make more sense. It isn't very clearly stated in the game that this is the case but it does seem logical.
