Had a similar problem to this when after 12 years at Inter, Recoba decided he "couldn't adjust to life in Italy". Reported it to the bug forum too.

After 24 years of living in England I couldn't adjust either...and I was born there.

One for the bugs forum imho.

I guess that the unhappiness has been triggered by his Indian nationality (guess he has declared for India in that game at least). Surely his POB and his second nationality should prevent that from happening.

Some people look to deep in to the game.......its messed up simple as. </BLOCKQUOTE>

Lol it was a joke for goodness sake.

Anyways I don't think it's messed up at all, look at Robbie Savage moving to Blackburn from Birmingham, he said it was to be closer to his family. There is no set distance for homesickness.

As for the Recoba one, I find that more believable than the Chopra one and wouldn't say it was a bug. Plenty of players want to move back to their home country after a long period away from home, it's just worded badly.

Why do you feel there is a set distance on homesickness? </BLOCKQUOTE>
Because he could live at home and commute that distance easily? </BLOCKQUOTE>

That depends on where the training ground is, tbf. Just because Newcastle is "12 miles" from Sunderland, doesn't mean his home is 12 miles away from where he is.

And also, being from "Newcastle" doesn't mean hes automatically from the closest point to Sunderland.

He could have lived in a suburb of Newcastle, and the training ground miles out of Sunderland.

My guess is that rather the code is flawed there. As right as you are in terms of rl, I don't think that any geographic differences within one nation are implemented in the game. Might be a good idea for future version though.

It was later pointed out to him that Blackburn was further away from Cardiff (where his family live) than Birmingham was. He just wanted to move and used this as an excuse.

I remember that either way he said he was homesick and we can only speculate as to whether that was the case or not
