unforgiveable mistake in the new patch!

A cunning plan inspired by Jermain Defoe:

edit a player a send him to some obsure team in the botswanaian local division or something like that, the key point is he gets registered games and isnt very good so he wont draw undue attention from big(er)clubs, then set his previous club as Galatasary or fenerbache, and a fee of Euro 500k for every appearence up until 300or some rediculous number. thus you break even for long enough to hopefully sort your squad out.

two wrongs could make a right?

This is cheating but the only way which i can think of where u can play without go bank rupt is a make a new user as barcelona or shaktar of the ukranian league or a rich club and just spend all their transfer budget on a crap and youth fenerbache player. Then You will have more money and stay around for a bit longer. Sorry if its no help.

There seems to be a lot of misinformation going on in this thread, so to give a little bit of backstory first....

There have been discussions going on between the relevant coders, testers and the head researcher in Turkey since October regarding Turkish league finances, which are very different to other leagues. We have been doing our best to sort out the issues so that all are happy, but any small tweak can make a massive different.

One of these tweaks has caused things to go too far the wrong way for a couple of clubs.

The issue was not moved to "high priority" by our test team until the 14th Feb, which was AFTER the patch had gone live, so our code team will not have known about it til then. I cannot tell when the latest issue was added in by the Turkish researcher, as he hasn't followed the date and time guidelines for bug reporting, so there is no date or time of when he posted for me to see.

We are looking at the issue, and the coder is making new tweaks, and will do more tests specific to this league. If there is a re-issue of the patch (and no firm decision has been made on this yet) and if the issue is easily fixed, then it will be as part of that.

We apologise to the legitimate customers who are affected by this, and we do try and get everything right, but sometimes things slip through the net. With a game with the size and scope of FM, something always will, unfortunately.

Some people on this thread have estimated about thousands, then tens of thousands of people in Turkey who are affected by this, and that figure is way off the mark. There may well be that many people in Turkey playing the game, but genuine sales there are tiny, making up about 0.1% of global sales. That doesn't mean bugs in that league are any less important, or that we won't try and fix them, but to suggest that we sell thousands there is not accurate in the slightest.

First of all, thank you Miles for your reply in this thread. I believe you are working hard to fix this problem as any other problems. And I hope you can fix this in a re-issue of the patch, or maybe in a 3rd patch 8.0.3. It´s up to you, but you never know, maybe you suprises us with a Easter present this time, like 8.0.2 was for Valentines Day

I see that many fixes have been made for the turkish leagues in 8.0.2 and this makes me very happy. Thank you very much :thup: After many years, finally the turkish leagues got to a really good level with 8.0.2. So it is sad that this one problem destroys pretty much everything and makes the leagues unplayable.

About the sales issue. I know that the sales is not so good in Turkey, which is really sad because I think there is a huge market for a game like this there. Pretty much everyone is crazy about football in Turkey and every person has something to say about their own team, players, tactics, manager and so. So with that in mind you could think that the sales of FM is very good in Turkey. Unfortunately it is not, most because of the prices. They are to high for the turkish customers. So by making changes in price settings for the game in Turkey, or maybe try with Digital Download sales, which I think would be cheaper also, you could easily increase the sales. I think you could work this problem out wtih the turkish HRs and increase the sales a lot for FM 2009.

That's exactly what I am doing now, selling my reserve players to Japanese and Arabic clubs after editing the teams and the players with the editor. It is cheating but I can't think of anything else right now. Maybe I will use an in-game-editor programme such as FMM once the latest version is released. Either way, I wish I did not have to resort to such measures.

Will the teams be affected if you don't have the Turkish League running?

unforgiveable mistake in the new patch!
