^^ your issue isnt with a glitch in the game, its that you are trying to sell high priced players in their 30s.

switch their status from "for sale" to "season loan" and you will have a lot more success in drawing a return. there are only a handful of clubs that can bring on that type of salary to begin with. so... unless there are major injuries, its highly unlikely anyone will purchase those players on the back end of their career (at that price).


thats real life.

Just remembered another problem with the game, some of the players have the wrong commentary names. How does this happen? I play as Arsenal and Sebastien Squillaci is ALWAYS referred to as Englehart. Also, if you have a player whose commentary name is Cole, you will find that the announcers can start talking about Joe Cole as if your player is the same person. Nothing that effects gameplay but is still a pretty big bug.

Yeah, I've noticed the Cole bug. Ashley Cole gets referred to as Joe Cole all the time.

Yes but it's happening with younger players like Fabregas as well. My guess is the transfer market is stricter for AI teams than it has been in the past. There are only a handful of teams that can afford these guys and they probably don't see them as much of an upgrade from the players they already have at that position so they don't bother making an offer.

Who the hell is Sebastien Englehart? I play as Arsenal and sometimes Squillaci is referred to by his real name but most of the time, it's Englehart.

While I agree with you to an extent, there is no way that if Drogba is on the market that teams aren't lining up to try to get him away. Sure some may not feel that since he is 31-33 (depending on what year you're in) that he is still worth close to $40M but teams would offer around $32-35M for him. I am having the same problem with Arshavin and Rosicky at Arsenal and the fact that there is not one single team willing to put in any offer for either of those players isn't realistic.

Selling players is broken. I can't sell Kalou either, who is young, fairly well rated, and certainly affordable. He's another that has been listed as for sale for 2 years with no action.

The CPU is willing to buy from other CPU teams based on the transfers I read headlines about, but they very rarely want to buy from me, unless it's some scrub.

I sold Zidan from Borussaia Dortmund for $14 million. Not a star, but not a scrub, either.

The cpu agression is just too much making play congested and the tackling is way to easy. Every teams defense feels like a stonewall whether it's a premier team or a low team. I thought World Cup 2010 had the perfect balance of tackling and the spacing on the field was better in my opinion making for runs and a looser feel. Fifa 11 is more frustrating than fun so hopefully they address these issues in the update.

Here is the next update ...

=====
UPDATE Oct 25
- Getting closer to the point where we can submit the patch to our first party partners;
- We will communicate on content and release date shortly - first we need to make sure Microsoft and Sony are happy with what's in the patch;
- Of note, I am looking at the leaderboards and, well, some of the top ranked players should expect something to happen to their accounts ASAP... something not nice at all.
=====

The posters over at the EA UK boards are really ripping into EA for the delay with the patch and the lack of information / updates about the patch.

I am hoping it does something about (1) player progression in CM, (2) the super-killer CPU tackling, (3) the blatantly egregious application of the advantage rule (very favorable to the CPU), and (4) the non-random match-ups in national cup tournaments.

I have no interest in any online issues or Ultimate Team.

C'mon EA - win me back to FIFA11 with a good fix here!

SpHSpH I want exactly what you do in this update, minus number 2, to me it isn't a necessity but wouldn't hurt. It is amazing how in 2 years I've had a total of 6 player improvement emails and about 12-15 emails about players getting worse.
 
# 52 SpHSpH @ 10/28/10 03:21 PM
Again ... from the EA UK forums ...

Hi everyone,

First of all, we’d like to thank you all for your continued patience while we work on the latter stages of the FIFA 11 XBOX 360 and PS3 patch release. We’d like to update you about that, as well as share some information regarding an upcoming update for the FIFA 11 Ultimate Team downloadable mode.

- After months of hard work, the FUT 11 console dev team are happy to bring you the latest iteration of the mode earlier than ever and, for the first time, free of charge! Part of the process for getting the game into your consoles will be a downloadable game update for XBOX 360 users on November 1st, this prepares the game to receive the FUT DLC that will be made available on November 3rd. And PS3 users will be prompted to download an update that contains FUT on 3 November itself (although in some regions it may be available November 2nd). It’s important to note that in both cases the update you download will NOT address any FIFA 11 console issues, it only contains the FUT 11 game mode. Our certification submission with Microsoft and Sony for FUT started prior to FIFA 11’s launch and is a completely separate thing.

- While we don’t have the official date for the FIFA 11 console patch just yet, we can assure you it is coming soon; we’re looking at a mid-November time frame. This update will have many of the fixes you have all asked for. As it happens, we were able to get the patch submitted to Microsoft and Sony just after the FUT 11 update was approved, helping us to streamline that process and avoid any conflict between FUT 11 and FIFA 11 console.

Any questions, let us know!
=====

The main thing that stands out to me ... "we’re looking at a mid-November time frame" ... really? For a game that I purchased in early-October? More than one month of "non-usability"? Will I be receiving a rebate of $5 (1/12 of $60)?

Why does Ultimate Team have a place in the queue ahead of the FIFA11 patch? Fix the basic game first ... then worry about your money-grubbing add-ons ...

My concern is that the patch for cup match ups will only be effective for new careers and not your ongoing one. This so wouldn't surprise me.
 
# 54 thevce @ 10/28/10 08:03 PM
if they fix player progression, I'll have no problem at all re-starting my career. My team keeps getting worse (low budget team) as it is now.
 
# 55 Matt10 @ 10/28/10 08:06 PM
Goodness, I just hope they listened and actually addressed the concerns. I miss loving this game.
 
# 56 Whitesox @ 10/28/10 08:15 PM
How charitable for them to give us a mode that is free of charge in their other games (correct me if I'm wrong), for free!

As for the patch, I really don't think that they are thinking along the same lines most of us are, but rather the technical short-comings of the game, not the gameplay. I hope I'm wrong, because I enjoyed my first few days with this game. Looks like it is back to gamefly, though, not waiting until Mid-November.

Did you even read what you quoted?

"Our certification submission with Microsoft and Sony for FUT started prior to FIFA 11’s launch and is a completely separate thing."

I just hope the cup draw -- or more accurately, the lack of a draw -- is a bug that can/will be fixed and not a "year one" design decision. I understand your frustration if far into a career, but once I heard about the progression & cup issues I decided to wait on starting one. Patches for issues within franchise/dynasty/career modes don't always require a new game save to take effect, but it seems they often do. Guess we'll find out soon enough.
 
# 59 SpHSpH @ 11/01/10 06:57 PM
I am following the EA boards quite regularly. Here is the next update on this ...

=====
UPDATE Nov 1
- I have the list for offline fixes, now we're looking at online ones, making sure we captured everything
- We are acknowledging issues with Online Pass on x360, after the Kinect update. If you fail making it past the boot flow, try again, until you succeed. Took me 5 times on my retail console. We are working towards a fix.
=====

Another sort-a "vague" update ... but it is something ...
 
# 60 misterbroom12 @ 11/04/10 09:49 AM
I am in my 3rd year of my manager mode and I would have no problem restarting if the cup draws, player progression, and selling of my players were all fixed in the patch.
