VinnieJones Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Hello, I dont have yet the game and I'd like to know something : is there the real results of national teams for Euro and World Cup qualifying or is it still generated schedules and results ?

CFuller Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Generated results and schedules. For the last few FMs, real results for Euro and WC qualifiers have not been included for legal reasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnhughthom Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 They don't have the licence for real results, so it's generated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinnieJones Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 Thanks for your answers ! But what about the Asian and Europe qualifying groups for WC ? Are they real like for Euro ones or generated too ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFuller Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I'm pretty sure they are also generated, for the same reasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect they have the licence to keep the groups (or it's not something that there's a licence for) but not the results or fixture schedules. I've no idea if the schedules are the same, but in two separate test saves I've seen Scotland get the group they got in real life. May be wrong, but I don't think the draw was viewable either.

I haven't got the FM16 beta, so I'll take your word for it. It seems right that they should keep the real groups. As you suspect, it's probably just the schedule that SI don't have a licence for.

forameuss Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I'd also add that the lack of a license leads to a very different looking Euro Qualifying campaign. In one I went through, Greece were top of their group with a 100% record, Germany had yet to struggle (as everyone expected when the groups were drawn) and Holland were flying high. Wales scraped through the play-offs and Northern Ireland finished 5th. FM being more real than reality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wales scraped through the play-offs and Northern Ireland finished 5th. FM being more real than reality. To be honest, that's one of the reasons why I've been hesitant about buying even-numbered FMs in recent years. It just wouldn't feel right to me that Greece could qualify for Euro 2016 in game when they'd effectively been eliminated by the end of June in reality. FM08 was the last FM where I remember the game having real results and fixtures for international qualifiers. I wish it was still like that now, but that's licensing, I suppose.

Administrators Neil Brock Posted November 3, 2015 Administrators Share Posted November 3, 2015 Not anything we can do about it at the moment I'm afraid due to licensing issues as people have said. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spurs08 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Not anything we can do about it at the moment I'm afraid due to licensing issues as people have said. Would it be at all possible to allow the exact schedule and results to be added in via the editor so users could do it manually? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinnieJones Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 Thanks for all ur answers guys ! That would be great if a fan website can make a fix of that, like for the real competitions names. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be wrong, but I think it's possible for the Premier League. National competitions could be different though. I'm sure all will become clear once the editor is released. Can also confirm that you'll get the correct draw for 2018 World Cup Qualifying, but you will not have the correct fixture list. Just had mine drawn.
