noikeee Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Quote - Fixed issue in some Brexit scenarios where UK based players nearing the end of their contracts could not be signed on pre-contracts Any idea of whether this fix in particular will work instantly with ongoing saves, or locked into whatever was generated at the time of Brexit? I've got this issue in my Dafuge Challenge career save. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be clear , calling people "lazy" is not constructive. Thanks. It's a word I would use though - I have clearly said what I have to say. The injuries for most of the clubs haven't been done - for example at Barrow their goalkeeper Joel Dixon is out for the season yet this isn't on the game and this injury was before Christmas. Some of the players are highly underrated stats wise, I will use Barrow as an example again through Richard Bennett who has scored 10 goals this season yet is rated at best a lower North/South player. It's a poor reflection in my eyes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately due to the nature of the scheduling code we were unable to make the major changes necessary to fix this given the large number of potential knock-ons which could arise from doing so. Instead a number of minor changes have been made to hopefully improve the area whilst anything else would need to be a newly integrated feature in a future version. We appreciate everyone who has taken the time to raise this and hope you understand why this decision was made. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution: On the top left click 'Steam' --->Settings ---> downloads ---> clear download cache ---> press ok and then you should be good to go.

You could request that in the Players forum, but there are honestly probably too many changes to list. Generally, the winter data update will have quite a few tweaks and adjustments from the starting database because there is over half a season for new prospects to emerge, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candre168 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 This is not from 17.3 but I'd really appreciate an answer, I posted this in the other feedback thread: I just completed my UEFA Pro licence, and all my managerial attributes increased except for defending, which went down by 1 point? Why is this? I pride my teams on being solid at the back, indeed this year we have by far the best defence record in the league despite having the second lowest wage budget. Is it because my manager was not assuming defensive training responsibilities? I cannot figure it out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
