No, it is actually only the first part of the given name that is truncated as far as I can see.

The current implementation gives: J. Manuel Calderon. The more logical truncations (at least in this part of the world) would be: J. Calderon or J. M. Calderon

If the match viewer receives both fields (name, surname), it should be at least as easy to get "J. Calderon" as "J. Manuel Calderon". The way it is shown now rather suggests the match viewer receives a single name field and therefore treats everything after the first word of the name as surname. If that is the case, then it is not an easy fix.

The problem is that the name was stored incorrectly. For example, the name part was stored as "Jose" and the surname as "Manuel Calderon". That's why only one word was abbreviated. It's something we can't detect via code, it should have been corrected manually in the database.

Ok, but I think the issue is real. I used to have a player called Luiz Humberto Veiga Neves (7535808). Based on the first name and last name sorting on the roster page, his name field must be Luiz Humberto and last name field Veiga Neves. Yet, his name shows as "L. Humberto..." in the match viewer. Here's his latest game (39839258) where you can check it out.

OK, I admit, it looks like you're right. It's not a top priority issue but will be sorted eventually.

Unfortunately, due to the way data is read in the MatchViewer, we cannot determine which part of the name is the surname. But, the good news is that we can abbreviate all parts (words) of the name but the last (which I did). The MatchViewer has been updated to that new code so you can see for yourself. Hope this makes it better.

"Aziz, liiiight !"

Let me complain about the fix.

Properly spelt names are now truncated in the viewer. Exemple, my Ben Abdel Aziz has become B. A. Aziz...
It's ruining my evening. Seriously. I badly need a slice of apple pie now.


edit : even worse, Le Potier is now L. Potier...
My league mates will scoff at my players name now :'(

I completely agree with you.
It was a very bad change.
It is urgent to get back to the old way.
