2. 1,839,155 from expenses every 3 turns

Thing is, most of us strive to keep player wages down ie. buying young players, developing etc. these 100k wages are ridiculous and not good for the game. And also, the inflation increase in wages when renewing contracts ; How can you have an inflation increase in wages when your not getting inflation on sponsorship and merchandise. Admittedly i’m doing crap at the minute so i dont expect either to be high but i bleed money, i’ve had to decrease coaching to level 9 just so i dont lose as much money every 3 ticks, and i like to think i’ve been quite careful with wages

4 more players picked up at over 75k… i think i’m going to start doing the same thing… drive up salaires of all players….

No more manual updates for players estimated values. All players will have their values updated at least once every 36 turns.

You’re absolutely right. Thanks for letting us know.

2. New countries

Adding more countries is a way to make the game more complete and interesting for new users.
The ranking is still unfair, we know that.
You have all the reasons to feel cheated, DaMaGo. I apologize for not having the world cup yet. In my defense all I have to say is that I haven’t spent time (cause I couldn’t find enough) working in any big feature for a while (the new layout doesn’t count, most of the work was done by Fernando).

I’m not a politician but I’ll make 2 promises for this year:
- world cup with clubs
- match engine enhancements

2. Computer team without a keeper.

In Medium ticker Stoke City dont have a keeper, they only have 23 players in their squad.

I think the AI should atleast make sure that a PC team always have atleast 2 keepers.

Just wanted to let you guys know :)

HATE NEW COUNTRIES!!!! so much….
.we don´t have enough manager to fill up the existing leagues.
.we need to create better competition for every one. Many leagues are so poor, but they have the top ranking managers. Unfair.
.System is so unfair!!! braSil is a good league but no international competition, the always will get the best players no matter what. In the case you want new leagues, they will have to play libertares, even if they are USA and MEXico, a must! if you really want to find more new manager, also good for adds income.
.WORLD CUP, i feel cheated, Gabriel you now why, it is being so long…. loosing my trust.

other thing, i thinK overall, i prefer older layout, new one menus are so poor, in my opinion.
Anyway i thank you for trying and your hard work and free time
SALUDO2

@Davison: “Sunderland has one of the biggest Fan bases in the world”

Where did you read this nonsense? They are not even in the top 10. Read it here: http://www.futebolfinance.com/en/o-numero-de-socios-dos-clubes-2009/

2. New countries

By the way, whenever anyone would like to help with the addition of a new country please send us an email with all or some of the following information:
- current team names for the two top divisions (if the team name is too long and a shorter version exists please send the short version…e.g. Deportivo La Coruña → La Coruña)
- number of teams relegated/promoted per season
- team logos (25×25 transparent png imager OR any size/format images OR link to website(s) where we can find ALL the logos)
- league and cup names
I guess that’s it :)

You also have to take into account sponsorship that comes from companies with a sales base only within the teams country itself. As not all sponsorship comes from global multinational companies who are interested in a teams wider global exposure.

Interesting discussion, we should keep it going a little bit more before taking any actions :)

Well, sponsors want to be associated with the winning team regardless of their rankings in the books of UEFA.
Who cares where Manchester city are at the UEFA rankings, but then tell me a single sponsor that doesn’t want to be associated with it.

My point is that if the team is doing well in the league the current season, then its team ranking should be overridden. “Team Rankings” generally represents the past and past should not influence the current performers.
And i would also say that if a team suddenly perfoms below its usual level during a particular season ( for eg, a team ranked top 10 in the world rankings finished 10th in the league ), then its income should not dip down too much.

werid because Sunderland Brought Umbro to the Premier league and Sunderland has one of the biggest Fan bases in the world

Big compagnies rather sponser teams like Barca or Real, because they get far in CL and get lots of publicity. Who cares about small teams like sunderland or Brest….

This is just fine. In our fictional football game this can apply just fine. Nike would rather sponser teams like napoli, Hertha or Brest, who manage to always do well in the champions league. They rather not sponser smaller teams like Sunderland or Levante who don’t represent there brand aswell, like the big teams could. Nike wants to be “linked” to the best. It’s simpel marketing :)
