This game is riddled with them?

Ok the gameplay on the pitch is good, apart from i'm crap at defending.

But off the pitch especially in manager mode, there' bugs everywhere!


The preview of the league table as the game is starting is NOTHING like the league table in the data screens.

Commentary is all over the place, i was winning 2-0, and commentary said is was 1-1.

I was playing in away kit, all yellow, and commentary going on about blue and white stripes.

Stamina is always a problem, so first thing i did was pay out about £2M to upgrade my fitness coach to level 8, but my players still hardly make it through a game alive! I need a squad of 22 player to get a fit team out every game.

Its ruining it for me, even though playing the actual match is good.

From others on a swfc forum i go on..

Bugs Bugs Bugs !!

Manager mode.... I loaned out Luke Boden to Numancia at start of season.... January transfer window and they have sold him to West Brom for £600k ?!?!?!?!!?!

1st Season - got to semi final of League cup.... drew both matches but eventually lost against Man Utd on Penalties. ..... REPUTATION LOSS ... huh.gif *** ???/

Other stuff , but it would be nit picking.....

Enjoying it so far though.... although if I ever actually manage to deliver a corner to one of my players, let alone score from it.....

Commentary really poor..... Winning 4 - 0 against Barnsley.. commentators saying only 1 goal in it.

Yep looooooooooooooads of bugs in MM especially, on the pitch it's the best football game to date IMO, off the pitch it's a right shocker, MM is plagued with bugs, hopefully they'll be fixed, just needs everyone to report all the bugs they find as soon as possible

This is getting worse .

Just found out in February of my first season that two players that I paid a total of around £900k for at the start of the season and signed on 4 year contracts now appear to be playing for other teams...

crap crap crap


Was this game even tested before they decided to sell it ?

I am a huge FIFA fan but this is really poor. The gameplay itself is great, no problems with that but whats the point in playing it if I have no confidence that it is doing what it is supposed to be doing....

Manager mode is a bit of a joke and in my job, if I allowed anythihng this shoddy to be produced for consumers I would be sacked.

Signing players and then find them playing for Stoke City. Loaning out players for them to be sold on . Being 3 points above the team in second place, playing and winning my game in hand and still only be 3 points in front.

Seriously, whats the point in Beta testing games if this kind of basic ***** can get through ?

If it is anything like Fifa 09 then i started with bradford and didnt make it through a game without making changes, but once i upgraded my fitness, they slowly started getting better.
You cant expect after 2/3 training sessions them to be iron lungs. That would be unrealistic, admittedly, I don't know how long you have played for, but it took about 7/8 games before i started to notice, and even then i had to rest some players, but they did make it longer before sub had to be brought on.

[Munkey Boy]

I've not played Manager mode yet, seems like I won't bother until they fix it either. Online is keeping me going for now anyway!

One bug I noticed is in the online club screen, when you are looking at member's stats, you should be able to sort (highlight column of games played or goals scored etc) by pressing Y. I thought it was broken, but it seems it's sorting by the column to the left of the highlighted column! Bizarre but true.

[Craigy]

The devs are working on it according to the UK Community Manager on EA forums.

I had an online match where the other team had a player in my half at every kick off.

Just remembered another i had.

There was a tackle, a coming together of players, ref blew for a foul, came up as a yellow for opposition player, but they got the free kick???

I've had that one happen to me too, only once though.

[jegan111]

I don't know if its the case but holding down the sprint button ALL the time is not a good idea for stamina. I find using it less frequently means my players aren't dead after a few games. It all about rationing it and using it only when you need to.

But yes, there are bugs all over the place which doesn't actually surprise me. The one that annoys me in Manager Mode is the fact that I'm Rangers. And during almost every game so far The bloke Tyler says to Andy Grey, "Rangers, your club........blah blah blah" then Grey goes in to a spiel about loving them and being fortunate to play for them etc etc. Sounds great the first time, but after around 22 games of the season i'm almost ready to chuck my telly out the window!

I guess I should just turn the commentary off.

[kfan]

Fingers crossed for the alternate commentary available like last year's game

I've had the player in the other half at kick off a few times as well - but no bugs other than that. MM is fine for me

[Dave_The_Villa]

My biggest bug bare so far is hearing about the aeroplane celebration everytime someone scores in the online club play games, i dont think i've seen anyone do that specific celebration but i must have heard it about 50 times saying that, if didn't conceed so many maybe i wouldnt be so bothered lol

Try turning on a different language, this is what I do once I have become sick of the commentary.

[Tiger Feet]

Another problem i have was creating a league with my friends. It wouldnt let me create one and said something about one of my words being unsuitable. Even tho the words were 'normal' ones.

I didnt even mention boobies at any point

[thelegendofyrag]

Havent even had the chance to play properly since i bought it on Saturday. (Messed around getting the Arena achievements before motd) so be prepared for me to start moaning about all these bugs people are finding...

[delboyuk2005uk]

I aint noticed any bugs in manager mode yet and have played a good few hours worth.

What I do notive is the black line apperaing every so often when your playing a actual game in any mode when a black line flickers on and off just outside the touchline at the top of the screen.

[Scott23]

I have noticed that too. I also have a player disappear off the pitch when you are on the squad selection screen (one of the circles disappears so there are only 9 outfield players??). 11 players end up playing so must just be a graphics glitch. Threw me at first though!

I am loving the manager mode though. Almost getting as addictive as the master league mode on pes!!

Something unusual happened to me while playing last night, I entered the transfer market to have a look at a couple of players to see what their interest in my club was, left and then went into my next match.

Started the match, only to notice that it was a completely different starting 11 to what I usually have, in fact it was a mixture of my subs and reserves, still managed to win my game 3-2 but that was a bit of an annoyance.

Have you got the Assistant turned on?

Cos if you have he will pick the team for you.

[19andy84]

Nah, didn't have that option turned on

[oasismark]

Managed to get hold of a short bug fix list!

55 item Manager Mode bug list

1) The Manager Mode freezing bug (where you can’t progress without your console locking up) is still there. One person has suffered from this and noticed that in his last save before this occurs, one of his strikers has no name and next to the form icon it says “-10118”.

2) It has been reported that transfers “lock” altogether after a certain amount of seasons (being linked to a disc problem).

3) All teams below the Premier League have their tactics set to all-70s. Applies to other leagues/teams as well, see Australia, Brazil and others.

4) All assists are credited to the goalkeeper.

5) Players you loan out can be sold by the clubs you loaned them to.

6) Newly signed players vanish from your squad with no warning. They just disappear, and then if you look them up they’re playing for someone else.

7) When trying to sign a second loan player, sometimes I am told by the game that I already have two – when I only have one.

8) When signing two loan players, I then tried to (permanently) sign two free agents, and I’m told I can’t sign them because I “already have two players on loan”.

9) 90% of matches in England are played at night in the rain regardless of stadium choice. I’ve yet to see a match played in the daytime with sunny weather.

10) Seasonal changes don’t seem to affect the weather. So in England, in the summer, you will see rain and even snow with no games being played in sunshine.

11) Signing players is practically impossible, even when offering maximum wages and maximum bonuses, even if you can get their interest level up to 85%+. (Even if you start out as a manager with no reputation, you should be able to sign really poor players with no reputation who aren’t getting first-team football elsewhere.)

12) Signing your own players is just as difficult, regardless of how well the team is doing. They refuse to sign even when you offer the maximum wages allowed. But if you wait until the end of the season, you get the same screen you get in FIFA 09 where you can just tick a box to re-sign a player and they will sign for peanuts! Strange one!

13) The board sack you even if you occupy first place. You can expect to be fired at the mid-way point of the season if you lose a cup game, even if you’re in the top four of the league, especially in the Premier League. Even in the lower leagues, I’ve seen situations where games are won 6-0 every week for months and suddenly you’re fired the moment you draw 1-1.

14) When playing against teams who are better than you, your board always expect you to beat that team. I mostly play as a League 1 team, and if I’m beaten by a Championship or Premier League side I get a board comment that states I was “expected to win the game”, and occasionally you will get the sack for this. This may be because teams aren’t recognised in their correct division; for example, when losing against a team from the league above you, you will occasionally get a message that says you should have done better against “lower league opposition”.

15) The assistant manager, even when turned off, will sometimes swap your players around.

16) The assistant manager AI is terrible. It will choose players with no fitness (10%-20%) to play out of position, over players with 100% fitness who can play in that position. See below for more info.

17) The AI management of other clubs is terrible. Examples; Chelsea play Terry at LB with Cole at CB in the same match, Man Utd play Vidic and Ferdinand as LB/RB with Brown and Evra as CBs in the same match, Giggs gets played at LB occasionally, etc. etc. etc.

18) The effect of form is far too severe. It makes your team go up/down by a whole star rating within a few games, so with a 3 star team you can yoyo to 2 star and weeks later 4 star.

19) The form system seems to be totally random. I can win 2-3 games in a row by 2-3 goals and the form will get worse. A striker can score six goals in a game and his form will DROP!

20) I’ve seen one injury in two seasons; Marcel promised this lack of injuries – and especially this lack of SERIOUS injuries – was fixed for FIFA 10. This is simply not true.

21) Injuries don’t last for a long enough period of time. For example, a hamstring injury should keep a player out for a month – in FIFA 10 it’s a week.

22) When playing in the snow the ball used is white, which is incredibly difficult to see, and you can’t change the ball yourself.

23) Only 5 benched substitutes are allowed in FIFA 10 below the Premier League. All English league and cup competitions now allow 7 substitutes in reality.

24) Friendly games should allow 12 substitutes on the bench (and also you should be allowed to use all 12). Currently it’s restricted to 7 on the bench (with only 3 substitutions allowed).

25) Friendly games include matches against teams in your own division. This doesn’t usually happen in reality.

26) FA Cup games are all played at night when they’re only ever played in the daytime now, including the final.

27) The shortlist was supposed to allow up to 20 players to be stored, but seems to only allow 10 players.

28) The overall rating of a player changes before/during the game. So if one of my strikers has an overall rating of 83 (including his form), when I pause the game and go to Team Management his rating can drop by 10+. What value is actually being used by the game? The pre-game rating or the paused-game rating?

29) Form should never affect physical attributes. For example, a striker who is on hot form wouldn’t see his strength increase.

30) Playing as a League 1/2 team, you have literally no fit players left after 3-5 games of the season. I don’t care how bad your fitness coach is, a group of professional players would have enough players fit to start a game after 3-5 games of the season. (You’re forced to spend £1m to upgrade your fitness coach to a realistic level.)

31) The league table that shows up at the start of each game is never correct (same as FIFA 09). It always shows you in 6th-9th position regardless of whether you’re in the top half or the bottom half of the table, and your opponents are shown in an incorrect position as well.

32) When simming games instead of playing them, two things to note. Firstly, the level of your fitness coach isn’t taken into account, so the players lose 25%-75% more fitness than they should. Secondly, when simming, you actually get to see some injuries! Plus they last for a decent period of time (e.g. metacarpal fracture, player out for four weeks)!

33) When you have a player injured, the game forces you to remove him from your team before going to the pre-game screen. You don't want to remove him from your first-choice team, you want to remove him at the pre-match team management screen, like in FIFA 09. But now you can't do that.

34) Often you are not told why a player has refused to sign for you. No explanation is given on the Negotiation History screen for these players and it seems that they are never permitted to sign for your club, for no apparent reason. You never get an explanation for the affected players.

35) Sometimes when trying to sign a player they’ll say e.g. they get a “bad vibe” from your current players. Try to sign them again next week and they’ll sign for you. Doesn’t make much sense.

36) You can list a player for sale/loan who is garbage, e.g. 42 overall when the rest of the players in your squad/division are 60+, and instantly you get offers from the top teams in your division/country for him. Sometimes even top-flight teams from other countries make an offer; they have no possible reason to loan in a player who is literally twice as bad as any other player they have. It seems that every player you ever list you MUST receive an offer for, even if they are terrible, and it’s always a good team that has no need for a poor player which shows interest.

37) As a manager with a reputation level of half-a-star, you sometimes get comments from the board that “a manager of your calibre should be performing better”.

38) You lose respect with the board when losing a game on penalties. You should be given the same increase/decrease you would be given for a draw rather than a win/loss in these circumstances.

39) The leader of the assist list seems to be the player who keeps the most clean sheets.

40) Players who are substituted show no ratings at full-time. So if my striker gets a hat-trick and I substitute him, his rating is blank after the game. (Yet substituted players can receive Man of the Match awards, so a rating must be getting calculated by the game? I presume they’re just not being displayed?)

41) Goals/assists that occur in cup competitions, e.g. the FA Cup, aren’t counted in the player’s statistics.

42) When scouted players are presented to you for purchase, they are always said to play on the opposite side to their preferred foot. For example, a left winger will always be shown to prefer their right foot. Yet if you buy the player, most of the time, they will actually prefer the appropriate foot.

43) Some players will sign for a club and then the next week you’ll get a notice on the transfers screen that they’ve signed for that same club. Again.

44) Some players will sign for a club and then the next week they’ll have signed for somebody else!

45) When searching for players their form ratings are displayed, rather than their actual ratings. This means you have no idea what the player’s actual ratings are.

46) When selling a player, the whole squad gets moved around. Player roles are also moved around.

47) When buying a player, they are given a squad number already in use, and it messes up the squad numbers for the entire team. Why can’t they be given a number that isn’t in use?

48) Stadia never fill up with people. I can play a Champions League match against a five-star team and all stands will still have large empty sections.

49) Player search parameters constantly reset when searching for a player. So if you search for e.g. a defender rated 60-70, then you want to search for a midfielder with the same rating, the parameters have been reset meaning you have to input them again.

50) Occasionally the wrong stadium picture is displayed pre-game. For example when playing at the Emirates a picture of (what looked to be) the training ground was displayed.

51) Creating a player (not a Virtual Pro) to sign in your Manager Mode career seems incredibly difficult/buggy. If you create a player and assign him to the free agents pool, the game freezes. If you assign him to a national team, he doesn’t show up as a free agent in Manager Mode. If you assign him to a national team and THEN move him to the free agents pool, you won’t be able to find him anywhere but in the “Created Players” section and you’ll see that his assigned team is referred to as something like "team1932as12309" – you can’t then find this team/player in Manager Mode to sign the player.

52) Commentary gaffes happen every 1-2 games, e.g. “5 minutes to go and they lead 1-0” when it’s 1-1, “I have to say he’s on one of the worst runs of his career” when he’s already scored in the match you’re playing, etc. etc. etc. and also, when playing as your Virtual Pro, you find the commentary refers to you scoring your 20th goal every time you score once you’ve reached that point. So for example when you score your 21st goal the commentator will say it’s your 20th, etc. (not sure if this only applies to Manager Mode or other modes as well).

NEW ONES:

53) People playing as League Two teams (e.g. Bury) are reporting that they are not entered into the English league cup competition.

54) Sometimes strange things happen with the amount of transfer funds, one person reported going from having millions to spend to being 2.5 BILLION in debt.

55 For the new season you're supposed to receive new transfer funds, new wage budget to reflect new income for that season, people are reporting they start the new season with the same money they ended the last one.

(Remember this bug list is just about manager mode).

I stopped reading at no.16, totally shocking how this can be released!

52) Commentary gaffes happen every 1-2 games, e.g. “5 minutes to go and they lead 1-0” when it’s 1-1, “I have to say he’s on one of the worst runs of his career” when he’s already scored in the match you’re playing, etc. etc. etc. and also, when playing as your Virtual Pro, you find the commentary refers to you scoring your 20th goal every time you score once you’ve reached that point. So for example when you score your 21st goal the commentator will say it’s your 20th, etc. (not sure if this only applies to Manager Mode or other modes as well).

NEW ONES:

53) People playing as League Two teams (e.g. Bury) are reporting that they are not entered into the English league cup competition.

On second inspection, it appears that I suffer from a fair few of those bugs and not just the initial 1 or 2 that I first thought.

How on earth can they release this game with this amount of bugs, it's going to be one hell of a patch to fix this lot.

[kfan]

I've experienced maybe 2-3 of those bugs, and have almost finished my first MM season :S

[Tiger Feet]

Just a few things to sort out then

Think i'll stick to multi-player for a while.

That is insane ! I wanted to start my MM as online is not always my bag (completely different hectic pace and button mashing needed to win) .... think I need to wait for a patch

I had heard about a few bugs but thats is ridiculous - EA always harping on about refinement and improvements but they don't seem to test anything !!

FIFA must be the biggest selling game series in the world with this ratio of bugs in it ??? but I guess we are the mugs that blindly buy it and let them away with it.

If CoD MW2 or Forza Motorsport, Metal Gear or GTA or any of the big series of games were realesed with this many bugs - there would be a public outcry and boycott of future games to an extent.

I was playing in a custom tournament against the CPU, I hit the pause button in the middle of a match to make a substitution and when I restarted the game the audio had gone (no commentary or sound effects) and when I paused the game again there was no sound in the menu system (no music or sound effects).

Exiting to the dashboard and starting FIFA up again solved the issue but it was a strange one.

I also had an odd thing as well. I was running forward with the ball in a game against the CPU before being lunged at by the CPU controlled player, that player got a card (and I was awarded a free kick) but then I saw a that another player (not the player carded or who made the challenge) on the CPU's team rolling around on the floor and the commentary seemed to suggest I made the bad tackle......

[steviebwoy]

Crikey, so where's the patch? I don't want t start my MM game if it's in this much of a state?

The commentary is terrible though; repetition all over the place and completely incorrect statements being made (ie being told I'd won a corner when a goal kick is bing taken).

Very disappointing but hopefully rectified swiftly...?

[Kevmo]

I've only heard one bit of wrong commentary about dirk kuyt who should be having a better seson nwo that he's coming into his second year with liverpool.... he's ctually in his 3rd/4th year! I hope the one about loan players getting sold isnt true though, ive just loaned out half my youngsters

I'm so annoyed right now it's hard to believe, my manager mode will not allow me to enter my 36th game of the season, it let's me select sides, kits and then when I click play game it completely locks up and I have to turn my console off

I had the same problem on 09. I think it had something to do with a corrupt save, caused by an autosave bug. Try turning autosave off, and then give it a go. No idea if it'll work, but it's worth a try.
