I'd hope so too, but the issue was apparently already present in the Alpha, so I assume it's a broader issue.

This definitely is a more general issue. It also used to be hardcoded for Germany as well, but somehow not anymore. Now even in the Eredivisie players can't play against their parent clubs. (E.g. Remco Balk on loan from Utrecht can't play against Utrecht). Italy has the same problem as well. I'll log it into the League Specific Forum and @Michael Sant who also was reached out by the Italian HR, when they had the same issue. .

Thanks a lot for these suggestions. Bernd Schröder has actually recently been set as Schalke's Chairman (after the data deadlock for the Beta) . So he has the most senior position from Schalke's board. And as such the "Influenced by Supporters" tendency will be taken from his profile (for the full-game release). It is set at 12/20 which is fairly high, especially for a club in the Bundesliga (or a club in a top-5 league in general). Peter Knäbel on the other hand is more than a Director, he is Schalke's Managing Director (Vorstand Sport in German), but as such is outranked by Schröder (Chairman). The Harit clause has been changed to 15. So it won't be 38 for the full-game release anymore. As for the Affiliations, excellent spot! I think the issue has been found, so those clubs will appear as affiliates again for the full-game release. Greetings
