chucklehead Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Hello everyone Not looking to incite a riot, just wanted to create a thread so that people can talk about Brexit and how it has happened in their save. If I could just confirm a few details with folks: I got the 1st message saying that the UK is leaving the EU on 26.09.18, is that the same for everyone? I then got a further message on 26.10.18, giving me the detail of what type of brexit will be applied. Is that the same for everyone too? On previous versions of the game, I believe that brexit details were also confirmed on 26th October, but the year was random. You used to be able to save on the 25th, then keep reloading until brexit didn't trigger that year. You could, in effect, delay brexit indefinitely doing this. Has anyone had any joy doing it on this version? I've tried reloading a fair few times and always get that same message on 26.10.18. Cheers people!

CFuller Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Isn't Brexit usually pre-determined when you start a new game? I'm sure that has always been the case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chucklehead Posted October 20, 2018 Author Share Posted October 20, 2018 Right, just had Brexit not trigger on 26.10.18. Had to reload quite a few times, so the odds of it not triggering are probably quite low, but it does seem possible Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have the English leagues turned on then they should be listed in the rules tab under the League Table Screen, if not I don't think you can as you don't normally have access to the league rules if the leagues aren't running, you might be able to check from England page to see if they are still listed in the EU or not but I think that's all you'd be able to see.

Crispypaul Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 (edited) I played a lot in Norway last FM and there's a very strict registration limit on foreigners there, even in the top division. Should that be removed too? The £8,000 pw limit is pretty sensible I think as that means first teamers in the top two divisions are largely unaffected and its only further down where you're going to be affected. But that's quite realistic - Exeter City whom I follow have a first team squad entirely of British and Irish players. This seems to be the case elsewhere in League Two with a small example of foreign players whom have been in England for years as it is. It's not like teams are signing 11 Portuguese players for 5 grand each as is common in earlier FMs. Edited October 24, 2018 by Crispypaul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that if it's a loan the game shouldn't allow you to loan him and should just cancel it. In and of itself the wp is not an issue, but the game letting you loan him in spite of not being able to effectively play him (and later not letting me terminate the loan) is an issue.

DougyMarshall Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) Just got my Brexit ruling in my Rangers save and it seems... save ending. 17 foreigner cap. Minimum of £34,666 p/m wage to be eligible for WP to play in 1st team matches. Minimum of £13,000 p/m wage for under 23's for WP to play in youth/cup games.

Snorks Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Doesn't seem that bad.

Robioto Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I'm going to wait until the full release before starting my long term save, so I can edit it out. I'm one of those people who doesn't think it should be in the game until it's finalised, or at least have the option to turn it off. When the rule changes happen I will accept it, but these random events that significantly impact the flow of the game do not do it for me at all, it's an irritant and a detractor.

You can essentially delay it indefinitely if you're happy with saving/reloading, although I haven't tried that since the official release went live. Save your game on the 24th October, then play on. If you get to the 27th with no email about Brexit, you're good until the next year. If you do get the email, reload. I'm sure some folks would consider that cheating, but I can't see the harm.
