Was it purely a name change, with no geographical / sensitive political changes?

Quacky Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I was checking the African qualification system because it was entirely broken in FM20. It appears to be giving 2 Champions league + 2 Confederations cup to South African teams which as a top 12 nation in Africa is correct. However, this is not shown in the qualification places screen where every nation is listed as 1 place; It is also not shown in the league rules, which should (and does) give champions league to 1st and 2nd, confederations cup to 3rd and 4th (depending on cup winner). I cannot check whether this competition gives places properly for other leagues at the moment of course but it does appear to be giving the correct number of places for all nations. It appears some of the issues from FM20 are fixed here but it certainly isn't displaying the information correctly in the user interface. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number seven Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I checked with snl.no (Norwegian offiicial online dictionary) and there it says that Zaïre is the former name of DR Congo, so only a name change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quacky Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 African continental competition qualifying still has some issues that haven't been fixed. This screen is complete nonsense. The top top 12 nations should, and do in FM, qualify 2 teams to champions league and 2 teams to confederations cup which is not what is displayed here. Also leads to this screen for South Africa league rules being wrong. The top 2 South African teams do qualify for champions league, 3rd and 4th to confederations cup depending on the cup winner. Finally, I was also testing with Egyptian league in which I saw the winner of the confederation cup not qualify for it the following season despite their league position and winning the competition both qualifying the team. With South African sides I haven't seen this issue to test yet. Winning the champions league and the South African league does lead to qualification as it should and winning confederation cup but missing out on the slot in the league also qualifies as it should in South Africa. I reported most of these issues in the beta, its less buggy than in fm20 but a few problems still. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) Africa Cup of Nations Qualification 2022 Ivory Coast (Elfenbeinküste) as host of the Africa Cup of Nations 2023 is already qualified. Why is Cameroon (Kamerun) out in Group F as 2nd place and Kenya (Kenia) qualified as 3rd place in group E?

rafalsmolik Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Hi. this is my first post on this forum, if I put it in the wrong place, sorry. In FM 2021 I mostly play for clubs and national teams from Africa. I noticed that B national teams play in the African Nations Championship tournament, which is not true. Is it possible to fix it in the FM21 version and can I expect it to be done correctly in the FM22 version? I will only add that in FM19 it was reproduced very well. greet and wait for a reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

While in real life the games may not be billed as "B" internationals, the nations are restricted to only selecting players that play in their domestic leagues, plus the matches do not count as full international caps. So we decided the best course of action was to have the competition contested in FM by the nation "B" teams. Hope this explains. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafalsmolik Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I understand that in the FM22 version it will look like in FM20 and 21 and not in the FM19 version? Is it possible to edit it in the editor? I tried to do it but I don't know how. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafalsmolik Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_Nations_Championship there is a reason that from the 2014 edition, matches are treated as matches of the first representation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
