Being a Champ Man veteran (ever since the '92 version on the Amiga) I thought I'd seen it all, but I've found a new problem that is seriously doing my head in. A few seasons ago the game didn't complete the FA cup 3rd qualifying round. My team reached the semis, and then nothing. Every season I start off automatically in the semis, but the FA cup doesn't even start - it's still waiting for the incomplete round of matches from 4 seasons ago. Don't really care to be honest, as I only really play to win the PL and ECC. This season, the ECC QF fails to complete. Re-load and play the game many times, Barca always beat Atletico, but both go through to the semis, leaving 5 teams in the semis, and hence the end of the ECC for my game. I've tried everything - re-installing the game, deliberately losing my own QF, and it still won't eliminate one team from the semis. 12 seasons into the game and the team is finally all my players, doing really well, so you can imagine the frustration!
As a Java programmer I know what the lazy sods at SI have (or haven't) done and how to fix it at code level, but I thought I'd check on here to see if any other members have had this problem and how they fixed it.
As a professional programmer I do have to say that the 10/11 version of the game is a very poor piece of programming - far too thread heavy and needlessly so. A classic example of the fact that Java is easy to learn how to use but very difficult to learn how to use properly.
