xtradj Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Since the new patch every player I've tried to sign, the club wants a 40% sell on profit. You can't remove it either, only reduce it to 30 percent. Is this a known bug? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Oh. How very interesting! I have seen this too, but I didn't realize it is something that has changed with the patch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every club on every player is now asking for an unmoveable 40 percent clause which can only be negotiated down to 30 percent.

Guest Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Yeah, it's all over the place now. Has to be a new bug introduced by the patch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlesington Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 what i mean is that surely its good business sense when selling a player to put in this clause, its common place in real life. Im not convinced its a bug, i think it is realistic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhaffy Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Since new patch I too have noticed the non negotiable 40% of profit from next sale becoming a common part of negotiation. I walk away from deal then start again with new offer to try and avoid it. Never came across it before latest patch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly not all clubs would ask for this, and secondly if they did it should be removable / able to negotiate lower than 30 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oulzac Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 It isn't always 40%, and its been there long before the patch. Its been a constant thing since the game was released. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its been a constant thing since the game was released. Since the new patch its 40% for myself, every player every club Before the patch it was rare this would be included, and if it was it would be a much lower percentage that could be removed/negotiated Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Not all, but most clubs wants 40% non-negotiable when I make an offer for a player. Only seen this with the latest patch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oulzac Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Maybe its how we make offers? I always low ball first. And the response is always 20-40%, then I remove it. Then they add it back. Then I remove it. Then they add it back with a yellow lock at 25-40. I usually end up having every transaction, sell or buy at 20%-25% in the final negotiation.

eple Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 When I make an offer I have started to always add the sell on-clause and then selecting "remove and exclude" before submitting the first bid. That way I don't have to deal with it. The clubs don't ask for much more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading Ben's comments based on the examples provided it doesn't look like there's much to fix, the AI is now being more protective of its young prospects & if they do sell are looking to retain some level of futuire income, all sensible additions & in keeping with real life behaviour.

jayahr Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I had this with one player. See no real issue with this becoming more common, just as irl. Easy fix available too: Add the clause yourself, then remove it and exclude it from the negotiation. Done Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleJ Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Just lock it in as 10% before submitting the bid then they can't ask for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spurs08 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 The other thing to remember is the option to buy out the clause before it's activated which can often be beneficial. A notable real-life case here is Gareth Bale - there was initially a clause in his transfer from Southampton to Tottenham where they'd get 25% of any future fee, which would turn out to be worth £21.5M. However, when they hit financial issues, Spurs were able to buy the clause out for £2m plus Tommy Forecast. Definitely worth keeping an eye on.

Dodds' Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 When youre bidding, just add it in then excluded it yourself then they cant add it in. One way around it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
