@Manager-PR-9 Correct. I'm managing them at the moment in one of my tournament leagues (and doing very well might I add).
It sucks that this is the case with the German league but I do understand the legal side of things. It should definitely be a temporary measure but you never know. The good thing is that if a player transfers from the Bundesliga to another league, he will become available, true?

hello, i am wondering if i am still able to scout specific players from the bundesliga? since i can no longer click the german league, am i still able to find players like Haaland, Sancho, Haverts??
-
@Siempre-Zizou Unfortunately you cant scout any Bundesliga players apart from those in the team of Bayern Munich!
-
i don't get it.. it was no problem within OSM 2.0
Why is it suddenly now?just get rid of the pictures of everyone and logo's. I rather play with real names without pictures.
-
@Alfonzso_NL192 German Law has restricted Gamebasics from using their players names and team names, they can't break the law given to them can they?
-
@SUPERNOVA-8 Give me the reason as to why we can't transfer Bundesliga players in other versions(except Bayern Munich players).
-
@Mohammed-Fareed Hi mate,
the reason is due to license issue with Bundesliga, players from the German League cannot be scouted (except Bayern Munich).
-
when is this gonna be fixed?
-
just asking how do you scout bayern munich players?
-
@Generic_Manager just give the Scout search criteria (except the league - you can't choose it), but remember the scout is not designed to bring a specific player, but is designed to always bring players instead of coming empty handed - if he can't find any more players available matching that criteria.

It has been almost two years since you prevented us from playing one of the strongest leagues in the world - the Bundesliga (I am not counting the German version, but the world version). Although we initially complained about this, you did a couple of months ago, that we can't buy Bundesliga players. As a "consolation", you introduced a special Bundesliga with strange names such as Duvaus, Alibi, Nuuuur, etc. What is the purpose of such names? I don't want Duvaus, I want Davies. Do you think that this is our (Bundesliga fans) consolation? Even from the German OSM moderators, we did not hear an opinion on this topic, did they initiate something to bring the Bundesliga back? Will the Premier League, Serie A, and other top leagues move in this direction (the Premier League is in the PES like the Bundesliga here)?
I think the time has finally come to solve this problem.

Sure. Go ahead and solve it.

Me? Should I solve this ?? How?
I am not the owner of GameBasics, I am not employed by GB, I am not an OSM Admin, I am an ordinary "mortal", and we "ordinary mortals" can do nothing but ask these at the top to do it for us.What problem do you have with me?
How can you tell me this?
As member of honour you should to be a little kinder to us. Most Germans that I know are, but you... I dont have no more words.

@Ado-Hackovic
I'm not part of the German team, but I reply anyway.
This is a legal rights issue. It's not something that can be easily solved. Even Konami has problems getting licenses for using the real names of leagues and players for their Pro Evolution Soccer-games, and that company is a lot bigger than Gamebasics. Same goes for EA Sports, who lost the license to use the real name of Juventus, their outfits and stadium in FIFA 20.

@FC-Eddie_NL I know that very well. Since two years we cant play in Bundesliga (i dont speak about german and probably dutch version). Since several months we cant buy a bundesliga players. When it comes to license money, GB certainly has it. Even some Bayern Munich, AC Milan, the Dutch league were sponsors of GB. Are they even now, I don't know. You said, "It's not something that can be easily solved." I know that very well, but @Luls-L doesn't seem to know. Say him.
Best regards -
@Ado-Hackovic you said that it is finally time to solve this problem. When you post something like that I expect you to have the solution to the problem.
You link the german speaking community here, but most of them dont have all these problems, because they can play Bundesliga.
When there were problems with Premier League and there was no such League available for me, I would not play a primera League with teams like Livemypool or something like that. In that Point I am on the same side as you are. But if the owner of the game tells me that there are license issues I can understand that.
Of course it is easy to say. I want to play, pay for it. But do you really think GB is doing this for fun? They sit around and think about how to bully their users? If you have a Footballmanager like osm or others, I cant think of many things that can be worse for you as the owner to not have all licenses, because this will sadden your users.
I dont know how these licenses work, do you? If so, please explain it to me. Maybe I can understand you better then.
Since german users are able to play Bundesliga, I think that they want the licenses to be paid for every language that you want to offer it to. Maybe with Premier league it is different. I don’t know. But what I know is that GB ain’t doing this for fun, because you loose attraction to new users if you don’t have all licenses. -
@Ado-Hackovic right now, I play a battle in England, next is Belgium. So now. As far as I know, I won’t be able to play a battle in Germany any time soon. But that doesn’t concern me much. GB is choosing the countries where battles are played. Even if it were possible to play battles in Germany I could play like 2 or 3 battles and then wait 7, 8, maybe 9 months until it is chosen again to play battles there. For me the leagues where we as a user can choose where we want to play are more essential, but I get that you would like to play some battles in Germany too.
As i said. Less attractive for old and new users. So definitely no decision to fool around with the users to not have Bundesliga available. -

We were getting a lot of reactions to the removal of the Bundesliga in OSM. That's why we want to inform all of our managers about what happened here.
Before, the Bundesliga clubs could be coached by every manager in OSM.
Unfortunately, the Bundesliga is now only available in the German language. This is due to a legal issue with the Bundesliga.
Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for understanding!
