Liverpool- Winter update
Brentford Alan replied to Bill_Shankly's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
Not going to reveal too much but I've just had a look at the SI database and all 5 players mentioned in these two posts have had their CA increased in this update. -
I think what XAW meant was the game doesn't pre kick off decide the score will be 2-2 and then only make tweaks to counter any changes the human manager makes to keep the final score as previously decided. The AI manager will make changes to try and impact the final result in their favour the same as the human manager does, each change by either is then recalculated by the game and a new final score and 'story' (if you like) is determined.

You might not be changing anything, but remember you're playing against another manager and team who actively are. They see a weakness in your team and/or tactics, change things up, score 2 goals. IRL or in the computer world just plugging one set of instructions in and expecting them to work for 90 minutes flawlessly is a recipe for failure.

People seem to miss this time and time again, scouts and coaches in-game can make mistakes, over or under rating players and their potential. Star ratings are a guide based on the staff's assessments, by design they wont always be accurate. It's not an issue, it's what happens in real life no matter how good the scout or coach is.

Possible wrong birthdates (based on release DB)
Brentford Alan commented on Ente35's issue in England Non-League Data Issues
Ente35 has been told a dozen times or more that Transfermarkt isn't a reliable source, including by the EFL HR less than 24 hours before they posted this one, I suspect it's a losing battle to get them to listen -
Not sure which club you're playing as but it's not entirely unrealistic. You aren't paying a transfer fee, the player and agent want a big slice of the fee you've 'saved' relative to the players worth. You could gamble on approaching them once they are out of contract and you'll get reduced demands from them but other teams might jump in as well.

English Premier Division Data [Discussion]
Brentford Alan commented on Kyle Brown's issue in England Premier Division Data Issues
There will be a major data update once all currently open transfer windows are closed, usually released in March. We researchers are already working on it You then have the option to start new saves with the original database, the post-transfer window database or the real world database (transfers happen on the dates they went through in real life). -
One-Star Super Sub: Should I keep him?
Brentford Alan replied to phd_angel's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
They're annual salaries rather than the weekly ones most of us (I guess!) use. -
Scottish Premiership Data [Discussion]
Brentford Alan commented on Kyle Brown's issue in Scotland Data Issues
Well its approx 3/4 of the season but only 1/2 of the game cycle (new game usually drops in Nov). It's been that way for many years and I suspect many years to come. I can't see us moving to FIFA style weekly or monthly updates, never say never though! As Stuart says there are always the editors available if you want to manually update individuals or the entire Scottish database. -
Scottish Premiership Data [Discussion]
Brentford Alan commented on Kyle Brown's issue in Scotland Data Issues
It's major data amendments only on the latest update, those examples are likely to be reviewed for the major winter data update released sometime in Feb-March. -

All explained in this thread -
Should Public Beta Branch make a comeback?
Brentford Alan replied to greenz81's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
Game release is scheduled for 6th Nov, how does the 'community' react to SI announcing they are pushing the release date back indefinitely to give them time to fix the bug found on 5th Nov? -
Your scouts are grading them compared to the players you already have rather than on a global scale, and they may make mistakes (ie telling you someone has the potential to be the next Messi but in fact turns out to be more Josh McEachran!), especially if the scout's attributes are low. So if you're playing as a smaller club the players they find may improve your squad, but may not be any good once you get promoted etc.

Youngest Player - English Premier Division
Brentford Alan commented on TomBenji94's issue in England Premier Division Data Issues
The issue was raised after data lock (18th Oct), but has been amended in the database so it will be correct following the next data update. -
By your own admission everything is working, incl cup qualification, you just dont get a cut screen showing you lift a pretend trophy or an increased number on a screen. This isn't 'unplayable', you just have to use your imagination and memory a little bit until it's fixed. Your post in the bug tracker has been acknowledged so it'll be on the list of things SI are working on. I don't recall any other complaints on the matter being made by other players, and if the Argentinian league isn't a particularly popular one used by players than naturally it'll be a lower priority fix than other issues.

English Premier Division Data [Discussion]
Brentford Alan commented on Kyle Brown's issue in England Premier Division Data Issues
The stadium environment field (only head researchers have the ability to amend this I believe) is described as - the standard of environments where press conferences/interviews/team talks might take place. Premier League guidelines set a pretty high bar for these afaik, I imagine with an allowance for teams with older, smaller stadia like Luton to bring theirs in to line within a few years. -
I replied in the feedback thread, but hiring an intermediary gives you a better chance of offloading a player, it's not a guarantee. So it seems to me that it's working as intended, some players just don't sell IRL, hence why they get released at the end of their contract and there are thousands of free agents available.

Chesterfield FC General Data Issues
Brentford Alan commented on Bartsimho's issue in England Non-League Data Issues
Unfortunately datalock was on the 18th Oct, a day before your original post. I'm sure it will be looked at ahead of the next data update. I've requested Dyer is moved to Chesterfield on the internal database system. https://community.sigames.com/bugtracker/football-manager-2024-early-access-bugs-tracker/database-and-research/england-efl-championship-league-1-and-league-2-data-issues/english-championship-data-discussion-r16056/page/4/# There is currently a vacancy for a researcher for Chesterfield if you are a supporter of the club, please see this link if you'd be interested in joining the research team.
