So what should have happened? StevePitts, you say that by default the FA Cup is not played over two legs. So basically, that's supposed to be a knockout round? And if his match ended a 2-2 draw, it should have went to extra time instead of going to the second leg?
That is the way it has always worked and I don't see anything in the data to suggest that it is different in FIFA 10 (or FIFA 09). However, I've only recently started with FIFA 10 (having lost interest in FIFA 08 nearly two years ago) so I may be out of date. Perhaps EA have tried to implement replays somehow, and messed it up (now there'd be a surprise!!)

Which leagues / tournaments in FIFA 10 have 1st and 2nd leg playoffs?
The League Cup in England has a two leg playoff, and I see that in the fixtures table for my manager mode (first season, playing as Hereford) but the FA Cup has not yet started so I don't see any results, just the fixtures. I will have to experiment and see if this is a deliberate attempt to introduce replays to the FA Cup, but if so they've not done the same thing for the League Cup because I see games decided on penalties. Perhaps they've only done this for the manager's team though.

Each tie is played as a single leg. If a match is drawn, there is a replay
That is the real world situation but FIFA has never (in my experience, dating back to FIFA 99) attempted to emulate replays, the games have always gone to penalties. Is this something that changed this year (or last, I didn't buy FIFA 09)??

Have you noticed this? Did you test it?
See above, but I don't see anything in the data that might account for it, the structures are (virtually) identical to FIFA 08, so if they have implemented replays that is being handled in the game code somehow.
Champion757 said:
Can there be a fix for this?
Difficult to say until I can see how it manifests itself in the manager mode data file.
Champion757 said:
Is this issue an issue in other leagues in the game besides FA Cup?
Again, since I don't see anything in the data to control such behaviour it is impossible to say which leagues are affected. I have a Johnson's Paint Trophy game coming up so will deliberately attempt to draw that one and see what happens.

i checked it and i guess this could be fixed from creation master it has some options there but i m nt goin to do anythin cause simple i m not the best in this and dont want to mess up my career file!
Anything you do with Creation Master won't affect the career data until (at least) the start of the next season.
Would you be willing to send me your manager mode file so that I can see what the internal data structures look like?? If so, then you should be able to find my email address from
this page in the public EAFFAnalyser documentation (or you can just use the 'send email' option that you get when you click on my name in the left hand pane here, but that doesn't allow sending attachments, so you'd have to send me your email address so that I can reply with the address to send to). If you've not modified the game data at all then just your 'B. Manager - xxxxxx' file will suffice, but please ZIP it up (or add to some other archive) first as that helps ensure the integrity of the data that reaches me.

Although nothing might have to be done for it, maybe it'll be fixed in the EA patch?
Even if there is to be a patch, and I seriously doubt that, then what chance they'll fix a bug like this?? After all, in my limited playing time I've already found half a dozen long-standing bugs that I've reported to EA, some dating back to FIFA 06 and many of them just as fundamental as this one (eg. the fact that all players on your team get their attribute XP reset whenever you sign a new player)
