[FA Trophy Rules Very Incorrect]

Hello @andys7_3, I'm glad to hear you've found a temporary fix by utilising the pre-game editor.

Abdullah is quite right in the fact we can't possibly put a time-frame on this and many other fixes across the Bug Tracker. Game development is a big giant cog with tons of different components and moving parts. Something may seem quite an easy fix, but nothing is ever quite that simple (I really wish it was simple). 

Our development team will be working hard on investigating and trying to fix as many bugs across the board as they possibly can. As soon as we have an update for you regarding this issue, we will let yourself and those affected know as soon as we possibly can.

I know it can be frustrating at times, but I thank you for all your patience whilst the team continues to try and deliver the best Football Manager experience we possibly can. 

its not really a bug but an actually change of competition rules that have been ignored or blatantly been missed out, even the 23.2 patch still has no update to the rules. How can removing a tick in a box to remove replays cause issues like a previous SI staff member said earlier, if anything it actually helps fix league scheduling issues as it frees up midweek dates for postponed league games to be played on rather then trying to cramp 5-6 games into 10 days in April or May at end of the league season

It is so easy to fix you just need to change replays number to 0 in the code which is easy to do

I have changed it myself in pre game editor & stress tested it for 30 seasons without any issues

So how can someone from SI say that due to the nature of issue no timeline can be given

[Carabao Cup Semi Finals]

I think I have found out what is causing this issue plus Rounds 1-3 being played on wrong days while editing & extending England database to add in the regional leagues at level 7 & 8.

They have an additional helper in the Carabao Cup rules due to the World Cup being held in November/December and it is this that is moving fixtures to Wednesdays/ Thursday plus it moves the Semi Finals to neutral venue as this is set in these helper rules

As when I removed this helper rule from edited database I am creating fixtures for Rounds 1-3 moved back to the normal Tuesdays/Wednesdays and Semi Finals returned to 2 legs at Home & Away stadiums as normal.

And before anybody says it about being tried on edited database, like I know someone will.

I have also removed this rule from the vanilla database & the same happens fixtures in rounds 1-3 fixtures return to normal Tuesdays/Wednesdays & Semi Finals return to normal 2 legged Home & Away stadiums used

[carabao cup wrong schedule causing fixture congestion]

I think I have found out what is causing this issue plus Semi Finals being played on neutral grounds while editing & extending England database to add in the regional leagues at level 7 & 8.

They have an additional helper in the Carabao Cup rules due to the World Cup being held in November/December and it is this that is moving fixtures to Wednesday & Thursday.

As when I removed this helper rule from edited database I am creating fixtures for Rounds 1-3 moved back to the normal Tuesdays/Wednesdays.

And before anybody says it about being tried on edited database, like I know someone will.

I have also removed this rule from the vanilla database & the same happens fixtures in rounds 1-3 fixtures return to normal Tuesdays/Wednesdays.

These rules are also what is causing the Semi Finals to be played on neutral grounds as this has been set in additional helper rules for World Cup this winter

[Conference North/South Georgraphy]

I have found some teams have the wrong co-ordinates for the town they are in 

Take South Shields the longitude part of co-ordinate in game says -1.427 which is incorrect it should be -1.259.

South Shields is just slightly south west of Newcastle & Newcastle is near the east coast of England.

But using the in game co-ordinate of -1.427 means when league realigns happen this moves South Shields to the Northern Premier Division One West league when clearly they should play in the Northern Premier Division One East of this league
