Fair or not?

Played 18
Won 7
Draw 6
Lost 5

2-0 win
2-0 win
4-3 win
2-0 win
0-2 loss (Against Southend, top of league away)

I feel a little hard done by.

Sorry - those results were my last 5 results indicating I have turned things around IMO.

Other people have been sacked after as few as 5 games

Loans:

Example...

I Was playing as Benfica and id had Crouch on loan from Liverpool from the start(he had no portugese days) then in November he picked up an 4 month injury (he had a 100ish portugese days) so i cancelled the loan and sent him back Liverpool, when he'd left my club i checked him out only to find it now said he'd completed 365 days in portugal.

Just to test it i then sent all my other year long loans home and found the same thing happend to them. The Loan transfer details where play in cup matches & play against own team, but they couldnt be recalled by there club.

On a side note also to do with the completed days in countries thing. I noticed that even tho Julian Arca has completed lots of days in england (enough for English passport) and has never played for any countires full or youth national squads i still couldnt add him to the england team. He's also not declared for any country. Surely it hould be possible for me to interact and ask him to join the england squad?

Price Negotiation:

When you negotiate a price for a player the clubs keep raising the price.

Say I bid 10 mil. and they say they want 20 mil. I then negotiate with 15 mil. now they should go lower or stay at 20 mil. but instead they raise the price to 25 mil.

There have also been cases of the AI not budging... ex: I asked Sven what he wanted for Kasper... He said 15 M + 40% sell on... I said 7.5 he said 15+40% over and over and over.

SI would like examples of these and any other glitches:

List as clearly as possible steps to reproduce.

FTP

From time to time, we will ask you to provide us with more information on a particular bug which we will ask you to upload to our public FTP site. This can be found at

ftp.sigames.com

user: ftp-public
password: public

After you upload the files they will disappear, you can only see the directories you can put things in. If you try to overwrite a file e.g. you have named it the same as someone else you will get an access denied message.


Uploading Screenshots

Screenshots should be added to the ftp server in the fm/screenshots folder (As testers don't have wider internet access so I can't see screenshots on photobucket etc). Save them as jpegs preferbly.

Save Games

Save Games should be added to the ftp server in the fm/game-save folder

Especially with transfer and contract bugs we need a save before the deal goes through. Preferably you should run incremental save and at worst rolling auto-save.

When you upload the save use the compress savegames or use winzip to make them smaller. If they are still too big then you can (if matches aren't important to the bug) delete the stored pkms from the temp folder and then save the game.

PKM

Match engine PKMs should be added to the ftp server in the fm/game-pkm folder

Match engine bugs we need pkm files, click Save at the end of a match and can be found in My Documents\Sports interactive\Football Manager 2006\matches. Pkms don't need zipping.

File naming conventions

Save/Zip/PKM name format: your-forum-name_bug-description

In your post include the name for the savegame when you've uploaded it.

Step By Step Guide

All you have to do is open a new browser window (Internet Explorer for example) or click on the link
In the address bar at the top of the window type ftp://ftp.sigames.com/
You will be presented with a window that asks for a User Name and a Password
In the User Name field enter; ftp-public
In the Password field enter: public
You will now have access to the FTP
Now all you need to do is find your save game on your computer, this will usually be in C:\Documents and Settings\<your account>\My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2007\games
When you you have zipped your file simply drag it and drop it to the appropriate folder in th FTP window, this will then copy the file to the FTP

Error - You do not have permissions

If you are having problem accessing the FTP in Internet Explorer go to Tools > Internet Options... and select the 'Advanced' tab
Under 'Browsing' tick/untick the option Use Passive FTP (for firewall and DSL modem compatibility)
If you have the option ticked, untick it and vice versa. This should solve your problems

It's too late to edit FM 08 as the demo was gold code and FM 08 is already in production. SI have stated the first FM 08 patch will come out before Xmas.
