FM Players... Ever seen this before? Potential Bug

SirFozzie · 01-15-2008, 09:48 PM

... That's a bug. (and no, I've never seen it before)

Crapshoot · 01-15-2008, 09:49 PM

Part 2:

Crapshoot · 01-15-2008, 09:50 PM

Yeah, quick background.

My main team is Man City, but I always like having a couple of teams I'm playing with in the background (Sunderland in this case)- come matchday, I go on holiday for 1 day and the AM usually picks the team and manages it. I've done this for a while, and this is the first time it has failed to select a team for the match. Moreover, I'm not sure how it went through.

I'm just annoyed because it completely ruins the statistical integrity of the game. Its not my main team, so I'm not that bothered, but 5 years in when I see Rob Hulse as the top scorer, I'm going to be very bitter.

st.cronin · 01-15-2008, 09:52 PM

So it was 11 on 0?

and they only scored 47 in 90 minutes.

cartman · 01-15-2008, 09:54 PM

Are you sure the teams weren't Australia and American Samoa?

Crapshoot · 01-15-2008, 09:55 PM

Full disclosure - my bigger problem is that this suggests there is a defense worse than Newcastle's. We all know that's just wrong.

DaddyTorgo · 01-15-2008, 10:07 PM

please post in the appropriate forum, k thnx?

Crapshoot · 01-15-2008, 10:10 PM

Wait, there's an FM forum? Seriously?

Yes. The Hattrick forum has become the Soccer / FM Forum (although the OTDJ still needs to rename it again)

Not officially. The FMers have decided to take over the Hatrick forum and make it Soccer/Soccer Games.

Shkspr · 01-15-2008, 10:13 PM

Jason Roberts has got to be looking at Ben Watson's locker after Watson was awarded MoM and thinking, "Prick."

TredWel · 01-15-2008, 10:41 PM

Sunderland supporters were heard chanting "We're gonna win 48-47!"

officially SD blessed it but then changed the name back for some unknown reason

Mike1409 · 01-15-2008, 11:40 PM

How did the GK get an 8 rating?

Seriously, this is the biggest bug here I think. Goes to show how many one on ones are missed I guess, even when there is no keeper

yeah - I would *love* to see the shot on target accuracy for this game.

Crapshoot · 01-16-2008, 01:08 AM

Ask, and you lot shall recieve.

My favorite part? The 50-50% possesion.

Marc, would you like a saved game?

Crapshoot · 01-16-2008, 01:08 AM

Also, notice how Sunderland got 7 free kicks.

KeyserSoze · 01-16-2008, 03:00 AM

I´ve seen some weird things "28-0" I remember, when one team has all the players at holidays, using all the "transparent" players. With what team did the Sunderland play?

BreizhManu · 01-16-2008, 05:41 AM

also notice that 49 shots were on target which means 2 were stopped by a ghost probably

Kosta · 01-16-2008, 06:05 AM

The score shouldn't have gone higher than 1-0. After the first goal how did Sunderland kick off to restart play?????

KeyserSoze · 01-16-2008, 06:59 AM

No no. I don't mean "no-players". I mean that the game, if you are short of players, it creates some (with grey names instead of black) and with very low skills. This kind of teams are usually "massacred"

I was just going to post this...I would love to read the match report.

Butter · 01-16-2008, 07:34 AM

I don't know how you can label this as a "potential" bug.

vex · 01-16-2008, 08:06 AM

Would they be offside every play? Or I dunno, wow.

Router Help · 01-16-2008, 09:01 AM

Can you save the pkm so we can watch the match?

Marc Vaughan · 01-16-2008, 09:46 AM

Can you email the pkm to me at [email protected] please.

Celeval · 01-16-2008, 09:51 AM

Actually, yeah, I'd like to watch the pkm, that should be fun.

Maybe those two shots were on target, but the half ended before they could reach the goal?

I was actually thinking they might have gone off the post. Aren't shots that hit the post considered 'on-target'?

ColtCrazy · 01-16-2008, 10:03 PM

WOOHOO. I'm a huge Eagles (CP) fan and I'd like to borrow that screen shot!!! Now, if they could consistently score 1/47 of that I'd be happy! (although they are on a nice little run at the moment)

Buccaneer · 01-16-2008, 10:18 PM

It has been years since I've seen a screenshot of FM and I got to say that is great looking, esp. compared to hideous looking screenshots from the other popular game here.

All Jim needs to do is hire 30 more people full time to match it. Get on the stick, Gindin.
