The most 'major' if you can even call it that, bug I've seen is Birmingham signed Striker Xisco and the newspaper reported him as a defender, and he seems to be playing in defence too.

No, he's not multiposition. But thats it, doesn't effect me and doesn't affect Birmingham since he still manages to get a place in the defence.

I am playing as Fulham. 4th in the league at the end of the first season and was knocked out of the FA cup in the final by Arsenal.

Good game but not that much different to 03/04 IMO.

I think I just come across a bug:

While playing my reserve game diary (cheap plug!) Phillipe Senderos got a 2!!! A 2!?!? What the fuck? He played a perfectly average game (1-1 btw) yet the shit rating. Another player got 3, and another got 4.

Bloody bugs...

I remember (in CM) when I scored 11 past Partizan in the Champions league and their 'Keeper got a 6, now either they lose every game 22-0 or somebody fucked up

Were you playing them (every so slightly) out of position? The game doesn't deal well with that - I've players on a decent 7 or 8 rating, put them in a new position for 10/20 and they've dropped as low as 4,5 or 6s.

Senderos played centre-back, which is his position. Larsson played out of position on the left wing, so I suppose that could have something to do with ttat. But the other player played in his position. This needs to be fixed, this is clearly a bug...

If a player can't settle and wants to leave, is there anyway I can convince him to stay? Flamini seems to be unhappy, he can't speak English yet so I'll assume thats part of it, he's also got 4 years on contract so I won't let him go.

Dida seems to have caught the unsettled bug too, I didn't pay £6.5million in compensation to ACMilan for a fucking wimp. Gilberto and Edu both speak portugese deal with it.

[Farmer Reil]

I've had the Flamini thing myself, Mudda. I just kept him anyway. I tried to loan him out to a French team, but nobody wanted him. I still play him and he's still unsettled, but meh, he seems to be doing alright so far.

[Malenko]

Anyone else find that their assistants talk crap half the time? Quieroz so far has told me not to buy Fabrice Fernandes or Aleksander Frei. Both of whom have done well since I got them. And he continually tells me that Anthony Vanden Borre (Some young kid I signed from Anderlecht at the start) who has improved loads since I signed him, will never improve above his current level and that I should sell him. Yet his stats are better than Phil Neville's and only slighty worse than Keane's. Both of whom are "deserving of first team places" according to Quieroz.

I've certainly noticed #35, an overabundance of diving. But then, I just figured that Mateja Kezman was like that...

[Malenko]

bug # 44 rocks

[Guest Pirate Chasin' Booty]

I have loads of guys in my reserve team who've basically got real shit stats except for something like finishing, and thus they are valued at ridiculously high amounts, any decent way of getting rid of them without selling them to shit teams at half price?

I have no desire to use any of my reserves, those that I do are already in my first team.

[IAceI]

Well, it's been posted from Play.com, so hopefully that means it should be here for Saturday - Monday. I hope.

[Guest Red Devil]

Mudda and Funk, I had the exact same problem with Marco Streller after buying him for 5million for Spurs. He was unhappy for over a year as i tried to flog him but recently he told me that he's finally settled into the area and wants to get into the team so just wait and shove him in the reserves for a while and after some time it should get better itself.

[public enemy]

Expect the 5.02 patch to be realised within the hour, an announcement was just made over at the SI forums.

[King Ellis]

I hope they do something about the shooting. Maybe it's just me but most players seem to shoot over/wide constantly. For example Leeds vs Man U League cup semi final first leg, scraped a 1-0 win for Leeds after Man U had a massive 22 off target shots only getting 6 on target. This was with a proper first team out as well.
