Tipos Extraliga - SVK - a couple issues - FHM11

ety516 · 11-16-2024, 11:27 AM

Hello,

I've noticed a couple incorrect things / issues with the SVK league:

1. The league currently has 54 regular season matches - and the one for this year is implemented correctly, but generated schedules from season 25/26 onwards revert to the previous format of 50 games.

2. The prospect age limit for the required 2 junior players - which is U19 in game - is incorrect. Or rather, how it works in FHM is that it takes into account actual age at the date of the start of pre-season, if I understand it correctly. However, IRL, the league actually only takes into account birth year, not date. That means players which are considered prospects / juniors IRL are considered senior players by the game.

I assume ignoring specific date and only taking into account birth year would take some coding, so I would instead suggest bumping it to U20 - as it already is in the unplayable lower division SVK1.

3. The SVK has a schedule break / no matches during Deutschland Cup as Slovakia participates every year. This break is present in the set 24/25 schedule, but not in the generated schedules from the following season onwards. Not sure if this is a bug / has not been set as a requirement for the generator or simply a limitation of the schedule generation in general, but I wanted to mention it just in case.

4. This is a general bug - in GM only mode, if you extend or hire new Head Coach, the Team Control Settings in Manager Oprions reset to default settings.

Other than that, the staff rosters on teams are pretty out of date - some teams have coaches that have left / been fired midway through previous season, etc., but I assume this will be updated in future patches.

EDIT: Also, a complaint regarding the owner requests - I understand that they are not always reasonable because the owners of teams are not always reasonable, but they tend to ignore reality a bit too much when asking to fire / hire players. For example, I have a duo of goalies who are 1st and 2nd in league in GAA and SV%, yet the owner is asking to hire a better goalie. Or, another example, I have a request to fire an underperforming import - who is playing 4th line because I needed to plug a hole for which no domestic player was available at the time and he is performing very well for his intended role and as a 4th liner, he has very good productivity when compared to the rest of the league. Basically, the requests feel like they exist simply so that they exist, even when the team is doing well and there is not much of a difference between the requests themselves and the amount of requests that appear when the team is doing well vs when it is doing poorly.

Yeah, this is a glitch in other European leagues too (KHL for example)

I've set it to 20 instead of 19 for the Slovak league in the next update, we'll see how that works.
