Sounds like I'm a right moaning old git, I know we all have bad luck in this game. Sorry.

Could be worse Tom...you could be manager of Leicester lol

Don't want to alarm anybody, but, I just noticed that in my CL game against Benfica, Oblak scored a 90th minute header from a corner! And we were winning 1-0 at the time!!

No idea why he was up there - unless the GKUP option is defaulted? Or maybe I filled it in months ago?
But I'm guessing he shouldn't be up there if we're winning....

Here's a question for you, I want the game to be a good balance of simulation and fun and my question to you guys is this,

Does losing a game in the dying minutes to a headed goal scored by the oppositions goal keeper from a corner take away more fun and enjoyment than it adds to the simulation.

Bear in mind the GKUP option has been in the game for several years now and this is the first time the GK has actually scored in a big match. GKs don't have heading or shooting skills so the system applies the basic 15% chance to hit the target for GKs.

Maybe this is one of those mechanics that is a step too far ? I'd be interested in your thoughts.

I guess if you are on the receiving end of it then not very pallatable but it does happen and if that is the first time it happens then I would have thought percentage wise it's about right and it was going to happen to someone sometime. On the other hand....Tom,....why on earth was the goalkeeper given a free header in the box? lol.

Lol, very true mate.  There shall be an inquest....

I smell a bug.....rerun??

i will check it out tomorrow ( saturday ).

I have checked through the code and there is a bug that has crept into this mechanism causing the game AI to ignore the stipulation that says the GK only goes up for corners late on if you are losing. 

The late on part is working okay but the losing part is not and goal keepers were coming out of the woodwork late on in games this week irrespective of how their teams were fairing.

I am now going through and making a list of all the results this affected, more to follow...

4 games of the 750 games played have been affected by this issue, these are the games in which the goal keeper has come up field late on to score a goal when not losing.

lea fulham 4 charlton 3
lea start 0 viking 3
lea norrkoping 0 gothenburg 5 
ecc schalke 2 benfica 0

so I am going to rerun all four games...

I have updated the relevant tables to show the new scores, but I'm afraid the players records will remain from the original games, I just don't have time to manually update them all today before I start the reset for game two.

Apologies for letting the bug creep in but sometimes it does happen. 
If you notice anything I have missed then let me know.

Thanks Paul, appreciate you looking into that.

Still in it, just.  At home to Chelsea next week is a must win if we have any title ambitions.

GKs will now only ( hopefully ) go up field late in the game for corners ( after 80 minutes ) if their team are losing and not playing defensively and it is a big game ( league, cup, euro or international ).

I also noticed a few games were affected last week and the week before, for instance Jefferson scored for Santos in the 3-0 win over Flamengo in week 4, but all I can do is apologise for these errors as I can only rerun games the week in which they are played and I don't remember anybody reporting or noticing the problem before now.

Cheers P - must admit I was bricking it when you said I needed to replay, as I would have won even if you'd chalked the late goal off!

Incidentally, I had set the GKUP option to YES....

Just curious. I have Sandro suspended this week after picking up a booking in the original game vs Charlton. If the game was replayed will his suspension be void or did he still pick up a yellow card ? 

Based on the original game 19shots vs 11 and vs 10 men seemed a fair result.

Unfortunately I have no time to go through and adjust all the players that have been affected by the replays, so Sandro's suspension will have to stand, but on a brighter note Walker was injured in the replay and will not be injured.
