Thanks for flagging this, I have asked one of the team to take a look.

As with the other report, it won't be something fixed for '24. Due to the work involved, it would require several changes elsewhere to get it working the way you wish. It is however something I've noted with the team ahead of '25 and the feedback around it.

I heard back and it appears if this was redeemed last year you won't be able to use this item again this year, regardless if you were able to claim it from the store. Further to the above, we are unable to provide a fix for this for the 'Dream Transfer' due to how the mechanics work.

I've just checked in with QA. Unfortunately, this won't form part of any updates for '24. Instead, it will now be looked at ahead of '25 due to the requirements to fix it.

@Yasin1905 - This is similar to this issue. As per my comment on that thread, at the moment the only way to do this is "Promoting them to the Senior squad and then marking them as available for reserves".

Thanks for this feedback and the queries, I'll reach out to some of the teams internally regarding the bits raised and get back to you

Great to hear

@SaMason2012- I can see this has been logged and is now under review.

Hey @KOTOR Legend - I checked in with the team and unfortunately there is nothing we can do to unlock it if you were affected by the issue preventing it unlocking prior to the fix.

I’ll raise this Monday as it sounds like some of you are unable to use it if you did last year. I don’t believe we are able to resolve this but I will find out and let you know.

Hmm, it's a bit difficult to see from our side. If you can send some screenshots of what you see when you open your actions window on a player we might be able to spot something

I can see you have another thread open. Follow that instead please as it's more advanced and it doesn't appear there is a bug required.

This is still being reviewed internally and it wasn't part of the update yesterday.

The way it looks is just that it's activated, although it won't indicate any differently if it's been used. It doesn't necessarily mean it's been used. Do you get any options when selecting 'Action' on a player you want to use the dream transfer on?

This has been logged but is unlikely to be something that will be fixed. You might be able to reset the folder by reinstalling if you haven't already tried. Make sure to back up any saves first though just incase.

It looks like you closed the ticket yourself as you submitted it. I've raised it with SEGA now and they'll get back to you.

Have you activated it within the game first? For the benefit of anyone reading this: FM Icon>Unlockables>Special Edition>Dream Transfer and then press 'Recruitment' at the bottom and confirm activation (You should get a pop-up to confirm this). To use it you should be able to choose it under actions when on the player profile you want to transfer. Note: this is a one-time use

This should be within your wallet and it should appear on one of the tabs there. If you continue to experience issues, please contact us here.

Can you try to holiday past this date, this should solve it temporarily. This should be fixed as part of the next update for Switch.

We aren't planning on stopping to update the Switch version, we decided to merge the fixes from what would have been our last update into the next one due to timing.

I'd recommend trying to relog into your Netflix account and relaunching the game. If it persists, please reach out to Netflix Support as they are best suited to support with errors on their side.
