Default My favourite part of the game was the "best eleven feature". At least it was until I realised that 5 of the 5 pieces of info given are innacurate.

There are 5 bits of information contained in the "overall best eleven" screen.

1. The player names on the left hand side.

In my current game it's June 2013 and the supportes have added an ageing centr-half to the list. Fine, he may be old and carp I hear you say, but it's the fans choice and they decide who is and isn't good enough to be in the best eleven. Well that's fine, except the player concerned didn't make a single appearance last season and only made 3 substitute appearances the season before. If we wasn't good enough to be inducted into the overall best eleven at the end of last season, how is he hood enough now seeing as he hasn't played a single game since ?

2. The positions that these players can play in, (listed to the right of their name.

The position for players who play in multiple areas of the pitch are listed incorrectly. If the player is able to play AMR, ML & FC then elsewhere in the game, he is listed as AMRL,ST. Not on this page. Now he is given the following positions. AMRLC,FC. Which one is it ?

3. The overall club appearances made by each player just to the right of their position.

Now this can't be too hard can it. You just add up the number of times the player hasd played for the club and you stick it in here. The information is already held in the players history page so the information is there already. Wrong.

GK McIlMurray. 173 appearances made.
best eleven says that he has played 172.

DL McMillen. 141 appearances made.
best eleven says that he has played 136.

DR Ciaran. 124 appearances made.
best eleven says that he has played 112.

DC Whiteside. 82 appearances made.
best eleven says that he has played 70.

DC Doherty. 143 appearances made.
best eleven says that he has played 104.

I could continue to go through every player currently in the best eleven. Every single one has the wrong appearance information.


4. The overall club goals scored by each player just to the right of their appearance record.

Now this is the same as the appearances but it's even easier isn't it because there isn't as much informationn to store. The information is there on the player history screen Wrong.

GK McIlmurray. Goals scored 43.
best eleven says that he has scored 43.

DL McMillen. Goals scored 5.
best eleven says that he has scored 4.

DR Ciaran. Goals scored 4.
best eleven says that he has scored 3.

DC Whiteside. Goals scored 6.
best eleven says that he has scored 4.

DC Doherty. Goals scored 3.
best eleven says that he has scored 0.

I could go on. The GK information is the only one that is correct.

Now before you say it, it's not because either they or I have or haven;t included cup competitions or substitute appearances or anything else. The information is just plain wrong.


5. The graphical representation of your starting line-up, shown as a "tactic screen" on the right hand side of the page.

Now we've got to be on a winner here haven't we. What can possibly go wrong with this bit. You get a list of all the players that have played in each position and then the computer works out which the fans wany to have as it's favourite based on whatever it wants really. It can't go wrong can it? Yes it can.

Doherty, *who you see used as an exemple in points 3 and 4), well he's been selected at centre-back by the fans. seems ok, we already know that he's played, (unlike the old centre-back who has been recently added to the squad), and he's even scored 3 goals, (or 0 goals depending on where you look), so it's all good isn't it. No. The problm is that the player is actually a DR who can also play DM. I am attemting to retrain him to play MC, (but being the prima dona he is, he is unhappy about it). My point is that not only is DC not listed as one of his positions, he has NEVER featured there for me. Never!

So to clarify....

Just about every piece of information that is shown on my "overall best eleven" screen is a complete fabrication and bears little or no resemblance to events that actuallt occurred in my game.

This was my favourite part of the game until I stumbled upon this. I'm really not a happy Statto .

I have never noticed this. I am coming to the end of my current season, so I will check and see if mine is the same.

I, like you Jimbo, really liked this feature thinking it was a nice touch and could really add something to the game, but if this is the case, just seems to be pointless if its not incorperated properly.

Not much time for SI to fix it either hence my desire to see it slapped boldly down in the bugs forum.

Quite liked this.

Also, if you only use one keeper all season, your sub keeper isn't named. That makes sense.

But it tends to pick a random youngster with one sub appearance in his place rather than the back-up player who has started 5 games and came on another 10 times.

Yes. Penalties and free-kicks and 1 from open play.

I've posted the details and offered to upload either pics or save-games.

To be honest though, I haven't had any response to the last few bugs I posted and the offers of games to be uploaded have passed without comment.
