Possible glitch?

    I promoted a guy from my academy just now, and recruited in a new player.

    The new player has the same name, weight, stats, and is pretty much the same height.. is he potentially a database clone? So he'll come out a carbon copy?

    A bit too similar to be a coincidence?

    I would have kept quite if he was that good!


    I posted in the Bug's section, and was told not to post there without asking first.


    *sigh*

    tbh I've noticed on a couple of occasions when pulling a youth that a player with very similar weight and height attributes will replace them.

    Oh i'v have the same aswel,

    It's just when a player with the exact same name replaces a pull, with very similar attributes.

    thats because the youth team makes you a team all you have to do is put it together i.e you promote a prop you replace it with a prop- outhalf to outhalf. i taught everyone knew that and im a newb. thats why you shoulf always make a note of who came up for who

    I've never really found the simularity between the player I pulled and the newly scouted one. In fact only once have I really found that when I pulled a player with a height of 200+, then I got another 200+ replacement.

    I always thought/believed it was pot luck...

    well thats what iv been told, i havent really had much pleasure of promoting and researching. maybe the game taught you needed a midget back instead when you promoted a lock


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,542 ✭✭✭eoferrall


    they are supposed to be similiar - ie within a range of the guy you pulled. but its really luck. the chances of getting a heavy guy etc is low. i pulled a 197cm &115kg player and got a 189 &92kg player... the useful range of physical attributes means to me that the range is big enough to be effectively random.

    but to get the same name etc. that's not supposed to happen... or at least the odds of it happening on a random scale?!

    I understand where you're coming from but it certainly isn't as clearcut as that
