wicksyFM Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 (edited) Just started a save and the expectations between my board and media are massively different. Board Expectation: Reach play off Season Preview: 7th Media Prediction: 22nd ( Bottom of the League) Another team that has the same odds as me for the league are predicted 7th Makes it difficult to judge a team your unfamiliar with. I know the board and media are two different sources so they can have different opinions, but that is a huge difference. One thinks i could get promoted the other thinks im getting relegated Im not sure if this is a bug. Looking for peoples opinions before i post it as a bug.

PAFC_Dugout Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 (edited) Bug I think. Cant do any harm to report it Edited October 28, 2022 by PAFC_Dugout Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phnompenhandy Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Hasn't it always been like that? I've just downloaded FM23 today; this morning I ended my FM21 save. In that one the media predictions and bookies' odds jumped around all the time depending on your form and transfers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Media Prediction is not dynamic. It updates at some point at the start of the season and never changes. Season preview is dynamic and changes based on form and squad strength. This is a better gauge to see how good your squad is. Edited October 28, 2022 by Mars_Blackmon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eXistenZ Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Isnt season preview based on your (starting) squad average CA? hence you often see it jump after a big signing Media prediction is based on reputation, which always lags behind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't start off the same. Day one of the save season preview predicted 7th and media predicted 22nd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never pressed continue should report as a bug. Although if another team has the same odds as you but is predicted 7th, sounds like there are a lot of teams tied at 7th with the same odds and your team may just happen to fall to 22nd even though you may be tied for 7th in odds.

eXistenZ Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Pretty sure it has always been like that. Multiple clubs having 3rd as media prediction bottom line, ignore media prediction in club profile, as it is based on reputation, which lags behind. Competition preview is based on current ability and therefore more accurate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
