Galante, Don’t worry. Maybe you make it into the group stage. Hercules beated Barcelona this weekend. Small teams can win from giants. There is hope for you ;)
You’re number one, you’ll get Brazil…will that make everybody drop their Brazil’s application? :-D
Take good care of our beloved national team, don’t be like Dunga, listen to your fellow managers ;-)
I’ve created the whole stuff, I’m applying to all of them…someone need to test it properly…maybe I should give admins advantage on applications…hehehe, just kidding!
We’ll have something to identify the manager reputation but we’ll have to use it carefully. Now that I’ve finally finished the national teams work (apart from bugs you guys find) I may start working in all these cheating prevention improvements. Not fun, but necessary.
What we need to do is have a better way to limit the maximum and minimum value for selling players. It shouldn’t be too hard to create some initial logic around it and adjust it as needed.
Let´s see with one is the most desire contry.
I´m applying to 6 contries:
Brazil
England
Spain
Italy
Portugal
Argentina
Hmmm. OK. attach some marker to the manager name… a big X, or a pirate face, or a guy in a jail outfit…. so you know, and every manager that sees it knows… OK, this guy has cheated before, and needs to be watched.
sound reasonable?
I’m not sure if this has been mentioned already, since it it old (it happened in season 20) but the following transfers are very suspicious.
114 Flávio Galante => Aiko Alin Ernesto Barbosa 15000000 Transfered from San Martin Tucuman to TuS Koblenz
114 Flávio Galante => Aiko Alin Jorge Acevedo 20000000 Transfered from San Martin Tucuman to TuS Koblenz
114 Flávio Galante => Aiko Alin Matias Moralez 15000000 Transfered from San Martin Tucuman to TuS Koblenz
114 Flávio Galante => Aiko Alin Antonio Pampana 20000000 Transfered from San Martin Tucuman to TuS Koblenz
114 Flávio Galante => Aiko Alin Antonio Roa 15000000 Transfered from San Martin Tucuman to TuS Koblenz
114 Flávio Galante => Aiko Alin Ramón Arnaz 15000000 Transfered from San Martin Tucuman to TuS Koblenz
114 Flávio Galante => Aiko Alin Gonzalo Bauza 10000000 Transfered from San Martin Tucuman to TuS Koblenz
114 Flávio Galante => Aiko Alin Sebastián Palermo 15000000 Transfered from San Martin Tucuman to TuS Koblenz
Now if you look at TuS Koblenz (http://www.rubysoccer.com/game/team_players/511) you’ll see that these players have averages under 70. Two seasons ago it was probably about 65 average. It seems that the players have been sold for prices ten times as high as their true worth.
Apart from investigating the managers, shouldn’t the values of the players also be corrected?
That’s exactly the meaning…anyone could confirm the best word to use? It’s a simple change :-)
The current draw considers the countries ranking position when selecting teams for the qualifying stage. As England is in a bad ranking position even the top team was selected.
This has just been fixed. Thanks guys.
Well, it’s good that you posted it here with all the evidence, so it can be investigated.
I’m sorry to get so upset about it. In a way, I guess its almost unavoidable. People will stretch the rules…
It just bothered me. Obviously!
Congrats for a 2nd CL title in a row!
Hertha will challenge you, hopefully.
Keep up your posts
Ain’t that the magic number? :)
Guys I understand your worry about this, and I’d like to throw in another view on the subject. In real life there is crime and there is punishment. Having punishment like death penalty is proven not to prevent crimes. So banning and kicking cheaters won’t do much more than take up some valuable time (and energy) of people who do wish the best for this game. I am not saying there should not be any rules. I think it’s wiser to let them understand that this way of playing will bring them no fun and other managers will not interact with them. Also it’s a good way to make the game logic better to make it harder for managers making big transfers all the time. If I chose to quit it will be because I chose not because of someone else.
Just my view on the matter, it’s OK not to agree! :)
My team faces Liverpool in the pre-groups of the Champions League.
why Liverpool is not automatically qualified for the group stage and that he is the current champion of the Champions league?
I’ll be one more season out of the group stage.
=(
I noticed Player Stats now has the word ‘Internationalizations’ which probably is intended to mean how many games a player has played for the national team. I don’t think this is the correct word though. I think the word must be ‘Caps’ but perhaps a native English speaker can confirm this.
Liverpool is selling
Daniele Corcelli M C Age 34 (637) 100 pass
Leandro Luz MA RC Age 34 (630) 96/91 pass/shoot
Prices negotiable
Adonis Aguiar (630 overal)
http://www.rubysoccer.com/game/player_info/97793
Nuno Tavares (604 overal)
http://www.rubysoccer.com/game/player_info/100818
Frederico Assis (631 overal)
http://www.rubysoccer.com/game/player_info/100840
Otacilo Magelhaes (609 overal)

I know some of the transferprices are to high. Maybe there is a fool who pays these prices. Only one is enough :p
If you’re interested but can’t afford the price, tell me and I adapt the prices. ;)
I confirm that the same happened to me. I have 2 teams: the first squad and reservers. All matches are setup with the reserve team.
I was thinking to manage just a national team this season but they only start competitions turn 53 so I’ll be changing plans and go to England now. Aplication made, thanks for the support Dhimitri, I promise to give you a hell of a fight some seasons from now :D
Not sure if it’s intended or not but a non-default formation was set as all my friendlies and divisionals during the season tick.
Is this normal?
I had to go back and set all my squads to either default or another specific formation for friendlies.
England will welcome you with arms wide open!!!
I can only imagine the 1-2 punch we can offer in CL 4-6 seasons from now.
I’ll probably go to England, there are more human managed teams there and some other great names like ManUnt or Chealsea without a manager :D
We are currently investigating the matter, does not seem exactly like cheating but some kind of arrangement between the managers who know each other. Transfers between them are already blocked (as well as the users’ accounts) while we continue discussing that with GMs.
Your posts get more incredible every time, the same as Liverpool, just kicking ass in Europe :D
I defintly agree our CL Group was the hardest by far, I needed an away draw to get it but it doesn’t happen… The last matches don’t count, the losing teams had no motive to fight anymore :D
I’ll probably go to England this or the next season (depending on National Teams managers selection). There are some major named teams in the Division 1 I think it would be a great challenge to get them back on the top…
Come to Holland! :)
Ah yes, my bad. Very suspicious indeed.
Winds of change
It seems now most probably that I will leave Guimarães at the beginning of Season 44, I’m very glad with the job done here (thou the last few seasons were not that great) but I think it is time to change and I want to try something really new, I’m hoping to manage a National Team (luckily Portugal) but if that doesn’t happen I will leave for another “regular” team, this time not Portuguese team.
If you are looking for a team with some prospect I would recommend you Guimarães, I believe some of the youngsters will be the best players in the world.
PS: If the new manager whats he can use this topic :D
Just to alert you guys in advance that due to the structural changes made to accomodate national teams the season tick might get stuck, even though I’m confident this will not happen. In case it does, don’t worry, it will be taken care of ;-)
Cheers.
