i am not sure if the regular players were injured (including keeper) or mistakenly selected a friendly formation, but then this match should be investigated.

I think Sly might be stationed too close to the Hague International Court on War Crimes :D

I like all the ideas
1. Set a limited spending for first season managers (this should greatly cut down on cheaters) And perhaps add an additional year where spending is doubled

year 1: 20% of the bank
year 2: 40% of the bank
year 3: Go to the casino :)

In the last 4 seasons I have seen many French teams bleed dry from cheaters

2.Transfer limitation between same managers in a single season
Put a limit of 2 transfers if both transfers go one way
Put a limit of 3 transfers when 2 go one way and the 3d the opposite way

3. I think it would be best to introduce a No transfer window for a certain period of time. My proposition would be:
No Transfer Window
Starts at the end of the qualifying phase in continental competitions/ or end of the group phase in continental competitions
Ends at the end of global competitions. It should be somewhere between 60-70 ticks, so between 41-48% of the whole season with 144 ticks. Not eaxctly a window, but anyway.
Loans too, should no be allowed.
The ideas behind the proposals are:
1.Teams in the middle of the competitions cannot make drastic changes to their lineups and affect the competitions.
2. More focus will be spent on “home” grown talents in the current rosters
3. Limited transfer time should actually heat up the market a bit. Managers will have to think longer and wiser about the players they get
4. Give the managers to concentrate more on tactics perhaps since they cannot improve their tools (by better players) for the remaining of the competitions

Perhaps not transfers at all sounds a bit harsh, in which case we can turn in it into a One Transfer or Loan Window Only

On an intresting note, this is the 2nd time in 15 seasons I don’t get to the quaters :). I always make it there, except for this season. I’m very happy to see the french doing so well (without me :P). I don’t think you’ve seen the last of us!

The funny thing is all three managers are of French of origins, so I’m guessing the boys are home now!!! lol

I know Fran and Patrick to be awesome managers so France will be the most exciting league for years to come

sly, whoever the managers may be, lets not use the term “cheating” here in forum against anyone unless it has been proved.

If you don´t know too much about a player you will have to guess if he is under developed.

If you know how many games he have played and the coach level in his history per season is it is too easy to know about it.

So we have to think what it is more fun.

That’s ok, I made the second suggestion a few months ago ;)

http://rubysoccer.com/forums/3/topics/1243

The number of friendlies played each season on the player stats would also be helpful

Sds

PS: Você torce pro Flamengo, Gabriel?

They probably will, the portuguese crew did very bad, I’m probably the worse… and now the others about to be eliminated…

There is no reason for them not to be able to trade 7 players other than the possibility of cheating, which in that case didn’t occurred… You may be suspicious about that manager history but I’m sure about the other :)

Talk to me in private so we can use names :D this twou and one and other is too confuse

Btw, France could jump to the second place in the country ranking (1st in Europe) next season :)

Anyone noticing how French teams are completely turning CL upside down?

Qualifying Stages

Suprise 1: Auxerre 6-3 agg Arsenal

Group Stages

Suprise 2&3$4

Group 2
Pos Team P W D L GF GA Pts
1 Auxerre France 6 3 2 1 14 13 11
2 Napoli Italy 6 2 3 1 14 13 9
3 Brest France 6 2 1 3 17 14 7
4 Getafe Spain 6 2 0 4 14 19 6

Auxerre wins the Group stage against giants like Napoli and Getafe and the ever present Brest

Group 4
Marsellie and Monaco win the group by eliminating the giants of A Madrid and Bayern

Quarterfinals

Surprises continue

Benfica Portugal x France Monaco 3 × 5
Napoli Italy x Germany Hertha BSC 0 × 0
Blackpool England x France Auxerre 3 × 2
Marseille France x Portugal Rio Ave 4 × 0

The Portuguese giants are thrashed and Auxerre stands a good chance to qualify vs Blackpool.

There’s the possibility for 3 French Teams to be in the Semis, hence one could already be in the final

We’ll add a history record informing a player went pro. About your other suggestion, what was that again? Sorry for not remembering, too many suggestions in my mind :P

Considering that, during the youth academy, players receive double experience, it’d be interesting if the player history displayed the moment that the player went PRO and how many friendly matches they played each season.

On another topic, any plans to add my other suggestion about turns remainning on contract renewals?

I have no reasons to believe it’s not working since there were no updates to the match engine since that change was implemented…and it was working by that time :)

I don’t care if the managers know each other or not. I just think it’s stupid to have 7 transfers in 1 season between 2 team. Sounds kinda unfair. I like the “trade+cash” idea. It brings some depth to an otherwise simple Football manager game I can easely play on my desktop offline. But 7 players? Are kidding me? Again I refer to managersim. I like all above idea’s. Limitations for new managers, wage caps etc etc. Btw Filipe, if you know who I refer to, then you also know 1 of these managers was fired before. Idea’s given above here in this topic could have prevented the way this manager “cheated”.

Sly, If you are refering to the teams I think you are there is nothing smelling wrong :D I know both managers from diferent places and they don’t know eachother, I believe that was an exchange of players arrangement by them… But it may be other case since the ones I’m talking about are here for some time…

About the rule I’m in favour, in FM we can even chose transfers not to be accessible in the firs season…

Football Manager (desktop, not online) has a transfer budget defined on season start. It is always less than your amount of money and a percentage of the profit from players being sold is added to this budget. Similarly there is a wage budget. I think we could use this idea and improve them based on how long the manager has been in the game and how long has the manager been in the team.

gabriel,
is that stamina percentage deduction thing working properly???
i lost an away match to a team whose average stamina was 74%. my first team was better than his and i was playing with 4-5 players above 30…

i just had a similiar idea, maybe this a good point to bring it up.
how about a limit that new managers can spend in their new club within the first season. Like 10% of the club capital, maximum 15M. Maybe this would slow down cheaters.
Just an idea, not sure if it’ thats clever or not …

Not yet, we’ll announce when the changes I’m working on are applied.

Interesting. Maybe just 1 or 2 transfter if it is a fresh/novice manager

If manager has more than 3 seasons he can trade 4 players

I´m very surprise with my last game against Real Madrid in FT.

Our first match I win (3×5) playing as guest. The second playing home and with a new and much better goalkeeper I lost (1×2). All my team have crap scores comparing with other games. We both play almost with the same squad and formation and all my player were playing with 97+ stamina

Managersim use to have a rule that made sure 2 teams could only have a total of 3 transfers between each other each season.

I think this can be intresting. I don’t want to point anyone out just yet, but I’ve seen certain teams have 7 transfers between each other. Now thats just sad and unrealistic. I think this embargo could also potentially stop cheating way’s. I meen, I’ve been playing this game for about 16 seasons now, and I think I’ve never had more then 2 transfers from 1 team. Now…to get 7, that just doesn’t smell right :).

Anyone in favour?
