Weird happening in FM2006

Corholio

I'm currently playing as Aston Villa, i was playing Norwich in the League Cup 3rd Round and the game finished 1-1 and went to extra time then penalties. Sorensen my goalkeeper saved 4 of Norwich's penalties and i won the shootout. Then when i got back to the news screen there was a headline that read "Whittingham stars in Villa shoot out defeat to Norwich" and i'm like.......wait a minute i won the shootout, but the game just went on as if i had lost it, even the report of the game says that i won but Norwich went into the next round of the cup.

Anything like this happen to anyone?

I had a rival team score on me, but then after the replay of the goal, the goal didn't count and it was a legit goal, there's some weird bugs in this game alright.

But no nothing like what happened to the OP.

Nothing like that has happened in my game so far.

I heard of it, are you using the latest patch? v6.0.3?

Lucky it wasn't a World Cup or Champion's League Final.

Had something like that happen to me on an unpatched game, but it went in my favour!

lol this is something weird that happened, I got Hata ben Arfa on a free and he's played 2 matches out of 12 so far, but that's because he's been injured for the other 10, so when he comes back from injury I put him back on the first team straight away and after a match he says to the newspaper that he wants to be in the first team... that's strange because the only reason he didn't play was because he was injured! :rolleyes:

I've heard of the OP's problem happening a few times (mostly in the original version of FM06). Think there may even have been a post or two on it...

Only solution is to patch up I guess!

Thats quite common in pre 6.0.3 versions. Gudjohnson who was injured for a month, hence can't play him, demanded more first team action!!! He played for 4 months solid every game and apparently was unhappy and felt he should be a first team regular!

DEmeant0r

hmmm yeah I have 6.0.2, should I upgrade to 6.0.3? Will I have to start another game for the upgrade to work or?

Dempsey

You could play on but probably any changes in data wont be noticed until a new game is started

iregk

There are two versions that get released with a patch. The update data one and the vanilla patch. the update data updates everything, current transfers etc... this will pretty much render any purchases you have made useless as they will be returned to their proper clubs. This is really only good to use if your starting a fresh.
The vanilla patch is basically just the software update. Any saved game data remains. So it will give you 6.0.3 but will all your progress thus far saved.

DEmeant0r

ah ok, thanks for that, I'll take a look at the vanilla patch...

MrJoeSoap

The data update does NOT return players to clubs, it only comes into effect when you start a new game.

Yup happened to me in the Charity Shield in season 3. I lost the shootout, but the news stories said that I won! ah well...it evens itself out over a season!

I have the patches but cos my team is invincible I don't really wanna start a new game!
