(warning: a bit of a whine)

It’s really frustrating, I have two youth players asking for a contract and I would like to sign them both, but I only can if I fire a player (or manage to sell one after all) :(

I have a player who at age 26 (beginning of season) had these stats:

73 85 77 80 83 88 85

One season and 50 ticks later he has these stats:

78 99 77 81 83 97 85

So he gained 14 points on passing, 9 points on control, 5 points in tackling, 1 point in speed and no points in dribble and heading.

I am happy with his development, but I wonder, is it common (or not uncommon) for players to develop a lot in a few stats, and not in others?

For stats lovers I also have those at age 25:

69 85 73 75 81 87 83

It is a strange competition. Last year PSV only ended at the twelfth place, now my team made 34 points in the first 12 games… I have no explanation for that apart from luck/coincidence.

And the four Dutch teams that will compete in the Europa League are at places 14, 15, 17 and 20.

I wonder if there is a secret ‘in form’ factor.

Several players improved after the coaching get to 0, I guess it still let players improve and they were almost near the point of improvement… You can loan him and see for yourself :D He may reach 100 tackle yet as only at 31 they cant improve…

I just tried to do the bankrupt thing, big mistake :D The board sells a random player in your team so you can get 20M as you can get 1M and have no way of getting the couching level up again lol

Well, Aaron Hardyman, just got his price reduced to half :D He’s still improving but already worth the 10M

94 passing 21 year old SUPERSTAR for sale. The dude will make it to 100 passing for sure. I consider this my “golden ticket” to hopefully get some needed cash to rebuild Barcelona.

Luciano Brito
Attributes
Position: M
Side: C
Keeping: 39
Tackle: 70
Passing: 94
Shooting: 72
Speed: 87
Dribble: 85
Control: 90
Header: 79

He’s listed at 75 mill now. I know this is alot of money with the current market. I also know this is pocket change for some teams. Those are the teams I’m shooting for. Someone who’s willing to invest in the future. I am willing to negociate, but he’s playing alot for me now so it’s only a matter of time before he hits 100 passing. Then the price will not be lower :).

Hopefully I see some offer coming my way

Well, we can think about it, but the way it is now I’m not sure how easy it is to separate the newspaper development from the rest. At least the article templates is a separate thing, as soon as we have new types of articles we’ll definitely need everybody’s help. But again, let’s focus on fixing what’s already there first :-P

I have some fault there too as there are almost no news translation to portuguese eheh

Gabriel is it possible to separate the code and maybe let someone work in this part while you guys work the big stuff? I don’t understand a thing about that but I’ve seen people here that do…

@Seb

If that old goalie was the only goalie in your team, then the board won’t let you sell, unless you have at least one replacement ready. This has always been the case for goalies, since it’s an important position and you can’t play without one.

hmm, i haven’t been using it but , it has a lot of potential… and it doesn’t look good when u see it.

we could post news such as
– player hired/fired,
– managers joining and leaving a team
– players listed on loan and on sale ( current turn)

plus a lot of other features such as list of players on red or yellow cards for next league (cup) mathces

and we could start with fixing those broken links ;)

Newspaper is one of the features with a lot of potential but it’s been abandoned for some time. We are aware of all those issues, it’s just that we always choose something else to work on :-(

I’m willing to change it to balance the hiring of good veterans who can have an immediate impact on the team vs young promising players. It makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the input guys.

I think it does make sense to change the rule, either based on manager reputation or player age. I’ll take a note.

Cheers.

I truly understand that it’s to protect against cheaters (even if i don’t understand why there are cheaters in a free online game).

But when i arrived in the team i had a goal, 32 years old, and he had 72 in keeping, and he was the best goal of the team, but when i tried to fire him, he was too important to be fired ……………………., a 72 goal keeper ^^ i had to wait until i got a young goal with 80 to get rid of him but only 30 turns before the end of this contract (and the selling of old players stilled worked at that moment).

If i let them rot 7-8 years in my team for no reason, he hurts really badly my team because i have a low income of money because of my small stadium.
i prefer to pay a little bit of money, then seeing a useless player in my team, but that’s me :p

It’s made this way to not let cheaters join a team and fire all the best players of that team. I’m rebuilding my team to, however i still keep the best old players to stay above the 1% :).

You have 2 options really;

1. Play with them and sub youth in
2. Let them rot!

Hello,

+1 on the “important player” issue.
As the computer doesn’t buy anymore old players, The Board should not resign these players …
Otherwise, it’s nearly impossible to build/rebuild/renew our team.

Regards,
Antonin

Hi Filipe,

For me i could maybe be a great idea the reputation :)

For the only one player fired by turn is ok, i don’t think you need to change that (at the worst case in 30 turns you can fire the hole team :) )

the idea of hiring a better player before the contract ends was an idea that i had (a super player from Galatasaray that reties at the end of the year, but the board still didn’t want to let him go. really no luck ^^

oh, there is a trick to get ride of those players I used when got to Newcastle. At the end of season if you have space in the team you hire retiring players that are best than the one you want to fire, if the board sees there are better players than that one in the team than they let you fire him, when the new season starts the retiring players retire and you have fired the crappy one :D

I have the same problem in Newcastle, as I’m building the team with young players I wont need the older ones, yet they are my best players (actual skills) so the board doesn’t allow me to fire them. I think the latest change to the CPU buying strategy was a good thing, but maybe now there should be some exceptions to the rigid board rules, I suggested before this rules should be dependent on the manager reputation, now we have the reputation thing it could be used for that. If a manager has a good reputation he should be able to fire players like the ones we cant fire, cheaters would continue to have the restrictions…

Other rules like the minimum price to ask for a player or the number of players we can fire in a turn could be dependent on manager reputation too…

Hi everyone,

I’ am new in the game (played 2 seasons with 2 clubs), and since the change of (the PC doesn’t buy the old players).

My issue is that I got an old player that I can’t sell, and I can’t let the contract end because the board resigned him, and I can’t fire him because he is too important (for the board, and not for me).

What can i do if i want to get rid of a player that doesn’t interest me?

1) Sell me
2) Fire him
3) Let his contract end

1) I ‘am trying to sell since 40-60 turns at 1/10 of his valour a player of 31 yrs old, but nobody wants him (pc or human player)

2) I can’t fire him because he played a lot before, for the team. I get the message (player to important, you can’t fire him…..)

3) And let the contract end: the club resigned him for a year ……………………. and he will just be in my B team or friendly matches.

Do i have to keep these players for 5-8 years? And let them retire from the game, the only solution for the moment that i see?
Witch just kills my wage budget 3 players of 20 000 (60 000) that kills my small team (stadium of 26 000 seats).

I do understand the change of the pc buying young potential players, but could it be possible to remove the (too important player), until the problem of selling old players is done?

Regards

Prices Lowered at Gueugnon (France, Ligue 2) players from 25-27 yo that will be in your team for 7-10 seasons. I cant belive I am selling them that cheap. If you like a player and will like to offer less for him, as long as my board allows it, I will go lower.

Price of Rojo lowered: 35m. That’s cheap for an 91 average defender, I think.

Also some other prices lowered.
