*** Official FMF Update Transfers & Changes Thread ***

[Spanish]

After all succesfull database releases for FM2006 we will continue trying to do the same for FM2007. After the first patch we will start immidiately with the first version. Please post here everything you found that isn't correct in the game. We will make sure that if your information is correct that it will be done in the first coming fixture! With your help we can make this update the best available on the internet again!

- Give the correct information needed for changing(transfer fee, clubs that are involved, contract length, etcetera)
- Please don't mention loans shorter then 2 months
- Please don't mention injuries shorter then 2 months
- We will not make players better or worse unless its a very obvious change. So please don't ask for these kind of changes.

[Spanish]

My first mistake is Theo Lucius. He went to Feyenoord from PSV this season and he isn't in FM07 at all.

[peteranthony01]

There is the Wayne Rooney international ban, but i think you can fix that in the editor

[cmsdan]

Danny mills should be at hull city till christmas on loan

[Bozza]

Please don't mention those 1 month loans. It's too much work and they only last a month. After that we can change it back. That is too much work...

confused.com

only stating that they should be banned for the three matches at the start off the season or am I completley missing the point ??? and being thick?

[Bozza]

The bans of those players are already gone right? So you want bans in the db update that started at the beginning of the season. We don't work that way. Example: the game in FM07 starts in july 2006. When in real life a player was injured in july 2006 for 5 months (till January) he's in the game with that injury. But when we release a db update in January we've removed his injury coz in january he's not injured anymore. What you are saying is that you want the injuries and bans when they started. So that would be the same with transfers. When a players moves to another club in January, you want it to be in the game that he has a future transfer in January right?

We just do it real life. The bans are gone now so they are also gone in the db update. Same with transfers. When a transfers happends in January, the player is at his new club in the db update when you start a new game in FM07.

Hope I've made it any clearer lol.
