[FM23 cloud syncing issue]

Also went to Steam remote storage to see if I could download the save files from there and there is no FM23, every other game and previous versions of FM but not FM23

I'll have a look at the mentioned issues. If possible or making it more clear, you can send them by an excel file to me by PM.

I'm not checking RWDM  on fix base, but what is passed on will be checked.

It is impossible however, to update a rolling  competion completely during the winter update.

New changes will only be available for 2024, but if you have mods in that light, you can also pm me.

 

And please do not regard researchers as 'lazy'. I  spend way to much free time on a free basis helping out in this.

 

The lazy comment wasn't aime towards you mate my bad, I'm on about the teams at SI who are paid to do the research on their game, other than the big leagues they seem to just not pay any attention to the smaller countries, the fact they need people like you who use their free time to help the game for free should just about tell, the game is selling at new record highs so they do have the money to hire more staff to improve their game, hopefully fm24 gets everything it deserves cheers mate

Unfortunately, I have to admit that the Belgian League is not what it must be! Some players at clubs are banned/on holiday (?) for 6 months without reason.
The league system with (final) play-offs also isn't correct.

Sad to see how we put an effort to claim the mistakes here in the forum and propose corrections, but they don't do anything about it (still under review for weeks/months).
 

its ridiculous, I have players at RWDM who are starting XI in real life who are in the reserves by default, Bryan Smeets is in the main squad despite having disappeared in the U21's since September for disciplinary reasons, Oulare is back from injury irl but injured for 14 months in the game? That's even longer than before the update which was 5 months or there abouts, I'm looking at other teams in the league as well and I'm actually in shock at how poor the player stats are or how inflated they are depending on the players, obviously I only really focus on the Belgian 2nd division as this is the league I watch every single weekend so I can clearly see who's good, who's not etc, wouldn't be able to say much for division 3 for example but I can guess that it will be in an even worse state.

I've also now got a bug where all 4 of my goalkeepers have been injured the same day for 3 weeks to 3 months, honestly this is the type of stuff that's just not going to push me into buying newer fm's if this is how its gonna keep being for years, every year they get the things wrong for the Belgian leagues, doesn't help the Union Belge change the rules every year, division 2 for example from next season will be in its 6th reform since they relegated 9 teams back in 2016 to create the new useless division.

Another further point, Lennart Mertens who is now back at Deinze, somehow has something like 32 goals in around 45 games for Club NXT? He only scored like 2 goals for them, and this isn't a stat from when a game is running in the future, these are default stats from the start of a new save

[RWDM stats completely off]

Having waited for the update, I must say its been absolutely honking, disappointing yet again, no updates, Oulare out for 13 months despite being back from injury? Botella and El Ouahdi still "fringe" players in the squad despite being starting XI's scoring and assisting a combined 7 goals and 9 goals respectively so far, Biron still not a good striker in the league despite being top scorer, somehow Camilo is one of the best midfielders despite only playing 1 game, still expected to finish 7th in the league despite being in the playoffs last season and being top of the league this season.

Jake O'Brien not the best defender in the team despite being the best in the league...

Again, whoever does the homework for the Belgian data has been absolutely lazy, and that's not even having a look at the updates on the other teams in the league

The example you've given is when a player plays for the youth team and then the senior team is possible in game. 

The rule we have stops someone from playing in the senior team, and then for the youth team, which is a more basic version of the irl rule. 

If there are players who aren't able to play for the senior team after playing for the youth team, could you send us a save file, please?

 

The thing with this is that Anderlecht and Club Brugge have been known to exploit the rules and go around them and the FA let them away with it because they're the big 2 clubs, 1 rule for them, 1 rule for the rest sadly in the Belgian system

We'll investigate this, thank you.

If you could also make it so the B teams can sign a veteran player, by the rule they can sign 1 over 23 player to bring "experience" in the squad but in my save with Charleroi U23 in the 2nd division now I can't sign any player over 23, can't even enter contract talks with anyone over 23

I'll have a look at the player data.

Concerning the public numbers, I'll have a look at them as wel.

They won't be in the game release, as the data has been locked.

They will be in an upcoming update (winter).

Thank you, just out of curiosity, is there a site you use for average crowds in european football? I used to have a website that had all the leagues but its not been updated since covid first hit so guessing they stopped, cheers EFS Attendances (european-football-statistics.co.uk)

[3rd division games]

Subs are 5 sustitions, limited to 3 subsitions.

So you can for instance replace  1 / 2 / 2  at a time.   (or 4/1)....

yeah I seen, but I'm pretty sure I had tried in the 2nd tier to replace more players after I had already done 3 subs prior and it didn't allow me to do so other than in the cup game, I'll double check later when I'm on fm again might of just been a bug or me not paying attention, but the 3rd division is still really annoying to manage in as the games are played every 3-4 days with tiny squads its just impossible, the real format is once a week, if it could be corrected for release would be a lifesaver as I'd like to take a 3rd tier team up the leagues but having spent half a season with Winkel Sport I just left lol, cheers

Hi @Firetruck13

Please could you add any issues regarding league rules to https://community.sigames.com/bugtracker/football-manager-2023-early-access-beta-bugs-tracker/league-specific-issues/belgium-official-league-specific-issues/ 

Thanks

Do I put the issue about games every 3 days in there as well or just the subs rule?

[RWDM stats completely off]

I have also noticed that the 3rd division play 1 game every 3-4 days, this is not at all realistic, none of the clubs in the league play so often, they simply wouldn't even have the squad depth for such intensity every week, the Belgian leagues needs a serious revision upon release

[RWDM stats completely off]

Also, having double checked, the Proximus League allows 5 subs, in FM23 we are still limited to 3
