JRHaggs Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 In previous versions, one could see the pre-match betting odds from the schedule view. They don't appear to be there in FM21. Is there somewhere else to look, or is that feature gone? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUNT3R Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 The preview of your upcoming match inbox news item shows you the match odds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRHaggs Posted March 10, 2021 Author Share Posted March 10, 2021 Ah, I see. Thanks. It used to be that you could see the odds of the next several matches from the schedule. But that info is now only available a day before the match? I've found it useful in planning training and rotation for upcoming matches. Maybe I'm out of luck. Any conjecture regarding the motive for its removal? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillYourIdols Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Is it not available on the "Schedule" screen? Mine are, but not sure if it's an optional view that came with the Skin I'm using (OPZ Elite) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just started with FM21, so I'm still figuring out what's been added, what's been moved to where, and what's just plain been removed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see odds in the schedule, but only for the next 2 games. Not really what you are after, but its all I can see.

I suppose it's possible that odds aren't generated because the Vanarama North/South are insufficiently interesting to the gambling community? haha Ultimately, it's probably just as well that I become less dependent upon these odds for my gameplay. But, from what I can tell, they capture something about what the game is "thinking" better than any other bit of info. Big fan of your username, BTW, and the philosophical mandate that it espouses.

I suspect it's a feature of the skin he's using. I'm kind of bummed by the removal of match odds and conversation histories. Seems like arbitrary, or at least inelegant, obfuscation. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyburn Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) This is very odd. The code to show "odds" is in the panel "fixture details" that controls the right hand side of the schedule fixtures screen. But on any skin that has the code (including the default football manager skin) the game is not reading the code. Has anyone got match odds on the right side panel of the schedule/fixtures screen? We should have. The code is there. Edit* Have posted this in the Skinning Hideout. Edited March 12, 2021 by Tyburn 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't *seem* like something worth obscuring, and, in fact. in the pre-match news item that contains the next match's betting odds, the odds have more granularity, so it seems like there's actually been work put into odds generation. For example, last night, I saw 11-10 odds, which I never saw in all my time with FM20 or its predecessors. Perhaps it's simply a bug? Seems wildly unlikely that no one would have noticed until now though. Edited March 13, 2021 by JRHaggs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have also now raised it in the bugs forum. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyburn Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I haven’t had a chance to test this but have no reason to believe the code provided here won’t work. Find the “fixture details” panel in *your skin*/panels/match and replace the “odds” widget code with the one provided in the linked thread. With regards to the default skin, no idea what’s happened here, but the widget ID code seems wrong. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
