[Possible wrong birthdates (based on release DB)]

Jack Holmes birthday on transfermarkt is wrong, when he played for Hereford I checked his birth date and it's 19/09/2001 which his current club Halesowen have confirmed online.

Are you sure that's the FM24 release database you are using as Holmes left Hereford before the end of last season?

That is a great spot @Matty_efc.

Can't find any definitive official sources for his height but as you say he's clearly much taller than that so I'll get it changed for the next update. I presume it was a typo from a researcher at one of his previous clubs that hasn't been picked up on until now so thank you for that.

[Hereford FC]

Apologies for the late reply @Alastairhufc and thank you for the feedback.

The figures for the clubs rivals seem to have been changed from last years's game without my knowledge (I definitely don't agree with some of them), I presume it might be to do with licencing requests from HFC itself. Maybe @Gingerbread Man would be able to confirm that?

With the favourite people figures, Bowen has been decreased from 15 and Bundu increased to 20 from last year's version without my knowledge, again presumably to do with licencing requests from HFC.

I'll have a proper review of the finances especially with the club's AGM upcoming.

I will get the record attendance against Portsmouth last season added in for the next update, change the regional league to the Hellenic Premier Division, and sort out those issues with Paul Caddis. Thank you for spotting those and apologies for missing them.

[Hereford FC missing staff + data]

Thanks for the post.

Rooney was set as player/assistant manager when he joined but I encountered an issue when trying to change his playing attributes which I thought was down to his dual roles so temporarily set him as just a player to try and get round that and forgot to change him back so apologies for that.

According to his linkedin  James Hughes was only with Birmingham on an internship basis which is not included in the game.

As for Bialowas history, Hinton aren't in the database and the roles stated in the LinkedIn for Lads Club were for U12-14s.

Regarding the players stats they are predominantly based on last season at their previous clubs as we are obviously only relatively early into the season. Of course each player has had numerous changes to different attributes both positive and negative but it's too early to make sweeping changes based on a dozen games.

Pond already has a prety generous CA and been improved already since signing, considering before this season he's only played at step eight. Before this run of games without conceding he'd conceded eight in the previous four matches so can't just base things on one good run of form.

Skinner has also already had a boost to his CA since signing in the summer and will of course be reviewed again for the winter update.

I think most people that have watched Koby Arthur in his career would suggest he is more suited to playing as an attacking midfielder rather than as an out and out striker. The injuries to Jason Cowley and Andy Williams have obviously meant that options are limited upfront and even then he has only made two starts in the league despite not being injured. But an increase from the current rating of 10 could be an option.

[Changes to Hereford FC since last update]

Jamie Egan is only a short term loan so won't be included and it was the same with Oppong who as you say has already left.

Latty-Fairweather originally rejoined on a short term loan which the  got extended but this was after some of the data locks so might have happened to late to be included in the update.

All the other personnel changes were either done or reported as soon as they happened and have been done on the database already.

Thanks for taking the time to come and share that info @Timma the QA team will take a look into it further to see why its not working correctly.

Thanks for that.

After seeing the post above, I also ran a test until after the sponsorship ended and encountered the same issue as well.

Based on what you're saying it seems like it would be an oversight from our Research team to have missed the fact it should renew. Can you raise it with our researchers who can look into this further:

Database and Research - Sports Interactive Community (sigames.com)

I've doubled checked the Hereford files my end and the two stadium sponsorships that are set in the ORDB are both set to "should renew" so there shouldn't be a problem with that.
