BoyledShark22 Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I am playing in the champions league final in FM09, my second season as sunderland manager. The game was tied 2-2 at the end of 90 minutes. I checked and saw that my striker, Aguero, was really tired, so I subbed in Marquinhos for him. I was lucky enough too that Arsenal had used their three subs already, and then one of their players got injured. So it was 11 vs 10 for me. Marquinhos scored a goal to make it 3-2 for me a few minutes later. I didn't notice it in the commentary, but when i checked "formations" maybe 5 minutes later in the game, Arsenal only had 9 players on the pitch, and was playing very defensive. Anyway, time elapsed, and I was expecting the "sunderland have won the champions league!" Instead, it said "the match goes to penalties!" and I was taken straight to the "choose penalty takers" screen. I looked up at the scoreboard at the top of the screen, and instead of saying 3-2 for sunderland, it actually said 4-2! I double checked the bar at the bottom of the screen and only 5 goals were scored total in the game. What is going on? It was a hell of a game. i went up 2-0, one goal on a PK. then i got another PK, and Srna (who made the first) missed it. Then Arsenal came back to tie it 2-2. Then my sub got the winning goal. How do I fix what's going on? What is going on? I do feel like it's cheating that I won when Arsenal only had 10 men and they didnt get a red card. Then again I had a missed PK which is pretty lame. Anyway I should get the win, so what's happening? How do I fix it? thank you Screenshots coming soon if i dont get any help right away. Edit: Turns out there was a red card for arsenal at the very end of the game, plus three injuries during. they didn't go down a man until extra time though. Regardless, looks like I have no choice but to go to penalties. Also they never showed a 6th goal, but it says marquinhos scored one after the game ended, 120-1 minuts into it. Maybe that's where the bug occurred because that goal never happened. Edit 2: I started penalty shootout, only two shooters went, then it stopped making any forward progress, i couldnt progress the game. So i went to tactics, and instead of tactics there was "team talk," so i said congratulations for winning, then clicked confirm. Instead of goig forward, it took me back to the frozen penalty shootout, like the tactics were awaiting a stoppage to go through. SO i went on holiday for 1 day, and that worked, made it go forward, and turns out i lost the penalty shootout. Now I have to replay the whole damn thing. Completely ruined the experience.

Mojby Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 How did you manage to get Aguero at Sunderland? Saying that - how much money have you spent - Fazio, Srna, Aguero, Marquinos and any others we cannot see! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoyledShark22 Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 Hmm people always ask me that when I post here. I thought everyone does this because its a no brainer, but maybe not. Maybe people think it's cheating, but the game allows it so I don't know. What I do is I try to sell all my players for immediate money (when possible), but whenever I buy a player I pay over 24 months, so each player I buy only half the fee gets taken out of my transfer budget for that year (since the other half doesn't get paid until the following year). That way I can spend 2x as much transfer money as I actually have. As long as I don't bankrupt the team, and as long as I keep spending in control in that regard, there's no reason not to do it. For example, I sold 123mil I believe in players in the 09-10 offseason, and then I spent 230mil on players over 24 months. That's how I achieve what I do. The way I got Aguero is because I qualified for the champions cup in my 1st season as sunderland. If you don't I doubt he'll come because the team's reputation doesn't rise enough. I still think even though I qualified that he was "not interested," but I offered him somewhere in the 70k to 90k per week range (as much a I could, probably closer to 90k), and a big signing bonus, and he came because of the money. Now that I've won the champions league I can probably get most of the top guys now if I sell enoguh players to get enough money. Also the other part of how I do this is I usually spend literally 30+ hours on every transfer window just offering my players to clubs over and over and over because the game is designed so poorly in that way, and I offer a player out for 10 mil, then 9.5, then 9.0 until I get an offer. Usuually I dont, and it gets lower than I want to sell him for, so I start offering him up for even more again, and asking for random numbers, and eventually I can sell maybe 70% of my players the first transfer window, and then the rest either the second window or next season. It's very time consuming and a pain in the ass but it's the only way I can get enough money to get the players I need to win enough stuff so I don't have to wait more than three seasons to get players like Gerrard with the teams I play.

Interesting way of doing it and very creative - good on you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratattattat Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Pretty much the same thing happened to me. I'm Newcastle united playing Arsenal. We were drawing 2-2 in a cup match. Said going to Penalties, I chose my takers. Then It just froze in match mode and I couldn't progress. I didn't see and penalties, but it told me a lost 5-3. I had to go on holiday to move forward. Then it said my messages that I lost 4-2 no penalties at all Must be some kind of bug I guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
