fivestars12 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Hello! First time playing fm and posting here so sorry if this is already common knowledge! I read that the maximum amount of years of a contract at any given time can be up to 5 years. If thats true then, My two questions are: 1) I singed a player with a 3year deal and 3 year optional contract extension, will the optional contract extension be able to be triggered when 2 years are left in the contract? 2) I made 4 year contracts with 2-3 year extension after promotion and i did get the promotion and played the first game of the next season but still the contracts expiring date did not changed. Will the extension be triggered later when the contract remaining time is 2 years or will they not be triggered at all? Thanks in advance! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 1) You should have an option in the p[layer's contract drop-down to trigger the extension, without a defined event the extension will not trigger automatically. 2) Sounds like a potential bug, do you have a save file shortly before you secure promotion?

fivestars12 Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it very much! About 2) Ok so i went back before the end of the season and remade the contracts and the extension after promotion worked fine. I messed up the date they would activate, instead of immediately, I pressed at the end of the season so it would be impossible to activate since i already got promoted! Sorry for wasting your time on this. About 1) I know it wont trigger automatically and i will have to trigger it myself but at the moment the trigger option doesnt even exist! Will it appear later when the number of years on the contract + extension = 5 years total? Thats what i am asking. Also what do you mean with define event? Thanks again in advance!

Guest Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Easy mistake on #2, good to hear you noticed your error. As for #1 the missing trigger option does sound odd, the only possible cause is that if the additional years will take the remaining contract length to more than 5 years (the maximum allowed contract as per FIFA rules) it is possible that the game removes the option until a date where the extension will not take the contact over that 5 year limit. That is a guess so it still might be worth a mention in the bugs forum, at the very least Ben or one of the other lads in the transfers/contracts team can confirm if my hunch is correct.

I_am_pete Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I was under the impression contract extensions like that could only be triggered in the last year of the current contract. Is this not the deal ad you should be able to trigger it at any time as long as it doesn't exceed 5 years? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
