[Player "loyalty" issue - desperately wants to join inferior club.]

Do you have a save file before Vini Jr gets unhappy? We'd be happy to investigate this further. 

It's worth noting that there are plenty examples of players getting example after winning everything they can in their current league and wanting to test themselves elsewhere - Neymar and Mane two of the most high profile examples. 

I'm afraid I don't have a save prior to Vini becoming unhappy. It's fairly easy to reproduce though, with any young world class player (at least when playing in Spain).

I can understand if players want a new challenge or would like to play in a better league at some point - Mane reportedly didn't like life under Klopp in the end and therefore decided to leave, and Neymar most likely left Barca to become the main man in a project that looked to make PSG the best club in the world - also his father was rumored to have had a falling out with Barca, causing him to lose his trust in them.

IF the FM series gave plausible reasons why players suddenly want to leave that would be fine. E.g. seeing Carvajal wanting to leave because he has achieved everything at Real Madrid is understandable. Alaba after two seasons at Real Madrid wanting to leave for England because it's a better league is less believable.

In the case of Vinicius (and many other young star players who havent' just transferred) all it takes to unsettle them and make them want a transfer is for the interested club to keep scouting them and show their interest in the player. When, as in this particular case, Vinicius (star player, used in most games) suddenly feels PSG is a much better option, despite Ligue 1 being a less attractive competition and PSG not really winning anything important (that part is pretty spot on, though), it feels unrealistic and kills the joy of trying to make a competitive team. In my game, Real Madrid is arguably the best team in the world - squad confidence is very high and everything is going great. Except when PSG comes knocking 15 times. Then their target wants to leave.

When was the last time, in the real world, a star player from Real Madrid (or any other world class club) who demanded to leave for another club?

My main issue with this is, as mentioned before, that happy players should be harder to tempt than this. Everytime Man. City og PSG starts showing interest in my players, I kow what's going to happen. First scouting, they don't want to leave the club. 10th scouting, they're desperate to leave.

Could we have a list of what achievements have been unlocking incorrectly, please?

I got this achievement when I signed my first youth candidate.

[Unrealistic transfer deadline day prediction]

I just had a look at Diego Altube in my game and it turns out he's actually out of contract (although still with Castilla), so Zaragoza could sign him for free.

Custom database? 22.2 Game Version?

Just bought the game on steam a week ago - playing with the latest update. No other database than what the game itself makes available when you start a new game.

You have to make 5 subs in 3 stoppages. It's the official rule.

 

I subbed the three players in one go/stoppage ..

[Only allowed to make two substitutions when entering 'tactics' screen after accepting my assistant's sub suggestion.]

I just had the same problem. I used 3 of the 5 subs in the first half and when I tried to make another substitution in the second half, I got the "You cannot make any more subsitutions" message. My opponent used all 5 subs.
