Yohan_Gourcuff_ Posted March 26, 2008 Author Share Posted March 26, 2008 Hello,I'm playing FM/CM series for a long period,and although you have the best football management game in the business,there are still some aspects of the game that are just worrying. Firstly,I'd like to mention that SI doesn't pay enough attention to Balkan leagues and players.I think that this region has a lot of potential and SI has simply not tried enough to implement it in the current game. Every time I wanna start a game with a lower European club,I have to go to stupid England conference,instead of playing with my favourite club,Zeljeznicar ,in Bosnia.You can find a lot of leagues such as Honk Kong,Malesia,etc...but you cant find Bosnian league,league which national team was 28 in the Fifa rankings several moths ago. I know I can download Bosnian league and implement it in my game,but I dont want to do that,because people who are making Bosnian league are simply not competent for that job,they are too young and unexperienced.I WANT SI TO DO THAT FM 09 is your first opportunity to implement Bosnian "Premijer Liga" to the game and to do a better job on other Balkan leagues such as Croatian and Serbian.This regionn deserves to have better players in the game,and so does millions of players from the Balkans.If you need any help with collecting all the players from Bosnia,I'm ready to help you,but please,SI,dont start your next FM experience without Bosnian league,and some fabolous talents from this country.I hope that ,next year,all FM players will go to Bosnia and Herzegovina to pick some talented players for their European clubs,instead of going to Romania and buying Stancu on the regularly basis There is a lot of good football playing in this region,and I want SI to acknowledge that with some improvements next year. I hope that SI will respond positively on this subject, cheers from Sarajevo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

follow the blind Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 zlatan cant be swedish as his name isnt sven but i agree that the eastern european is researched horribly.

AddictFMBiH Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I'm totally supporting everyone who demand SI finally to add Bosnian league in official FM game. I know that whole thing is up to us, Bosnians, to do research and all the stuff so SI can add all of it to engine and then we can play Bosnian leagues. Ad you can see, i come from Bosnian FM site fmbosnia.com, and i totally disagree with the guy who said we are incompetent and too young. We made unofficial update and made Bosnian league, totally playable and updated, and invite him to try it and play his favorite clubs. I know here are bugs in this patch, but it has to be like that because we are only modifying one already made league, and adjusting it to Bosnian league. It is very hard job, and if author of this topic does not like it, then i warmly invite him to help all of us, and to make this patch better for him, and to everyone else too. Finally, as i said, i agree we have to do 99% of the job, to find Bosnian league in game, but SI could give us some small support, a small glimmer of hope we are doing fine job, and we are on a right way to reach a goal, that someone is watching us and recognizing our hard work...

Big_scary Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 technically wales isnt a country its a pricipality, but it makes as much difference as the fact that virginia and pensylvania (plus some others) arnt actually states but commonwealths. more semantics when concerned with everyday life Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toon07 Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 A rather confusing definition from Wikipedia: Wales is one of the four constituent countries of the United Kingdom. Traditionally a principality, Wales is located in the southwest of the island of Great Britain bordering England to the east, the Bristol Channel to the south, the Irish Sea to the west and north, and the estuary of the River Dee in the upper northeast.

Neil Dejyothin Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Hi Yohan_Gourcruff_, Thanks for your post. Your main issue appears to be with the quality and balance of the research of players in those countries. I’m sure the research team would be happy to receive your constructive analysis so that they can review their work for the next version. We are continuously working on the database and are always looking to improve its accuracy. It’s an ongoing project, but as ever, any changes are at the discretion of our researchers and in line with the guidelines provided in order for them to critique players consistently. We do however welcome any input, so please do post your thoughts in the relevant section of the forums. Adding new leagues however is a more complex task. There is a lot of work involved and a lot of obstacles to overcome before anything can be approved. We have to ensure that adding new leagues is not to the detriment or quality of the existing ones that are already available. They all require maintenance and you would be surprised how many rules change from one season to the next. In addition, sometimes the quality of research is not up to the standard required to ensure the league would simulate accurately to real life. Other problems may include the actual complexity of the rules and league structure. If they are too complex it may be difficult to implement from a programming perspective or the time and resources it would take to achieve would not be practical. From a game perspective, it’s entirely possible that we will also need to invest further time and resource into ensuring those leagues finances and economical state are reflected accurately as well as market trends and behaviour in terms of transfers and player expectations. Other issues may include licensing restrictions, marketing and piracy problems. So, it’s not as simple as just adding new leagues in and I hope that explanation goes some way to giving you a better understanding of why the progress can appear slow.
