I’m really sorry to know that Parag and Reimer have left. I hope they change their mind :(
About being fired I believe it’s healthy for the game, you shouldn’t get a team and be its manager forever. It would be acceptable in a manager game where you create your own team, give a name to it, etc. Here we have real life clubs and everyone wants to manage the most famous clubs. It’s fun to start it all over again.
If you say the way of earning points is kinda weird that’s fine, I agree with that, we still need to find a good way to give points to the managers. Things were worse when this “apply for clubs with managers” did not exist, as a manager could be fired for bad performance even when nobody else was interested in managing his team.
We have some positive examples of managers who got fired from good teams (Michelet from Cruzeiro and Andre Maia from Botafogo) and they simply picked another team to start again. Andre Maia was even able to get his Botafogo back after some seasons.
I understand your concerns, Alban, we’ve lost good managers fired for bad performance (Carlos Costa from Leixões was the first one if I’m not mistaken). This is a very controversial subject in my opinion and we’re willing to make changes if necessary so that the majority can be happy (if there is a clear majority).
Cheers!
This feature should exist in my opinion.
Not at brazil’s league
the way of earning points is kinda weird to me though, get a low newbie team..do good and u get high ranked. Which results in takeovers in teams.
I think firing ppl should still be there if the board isnt happy with the results though
We’ve lost Parag from Bordeaux and Reimer from Juventus, we’ve lost other managers I can’t recall at the moment. We are going to lose more…aren’t we ?
You see, people get used to their teams, they also get very upset when they get fired because someone from lower league applies for their beloved club. I think this feature should not exist. Why should this game lose loyal managers ? And newcomers can become respected members of the community without kicking more experienced players out of the game.
p.s. in real life fired managers find new job, in Rubysoccer they leave.
Hehe, Gabriel, have you counted how weak should be performance to get fired ? I think in real life top managers can have about 1.5 seasons to prove they can stay.
My only prediction for this season is that I’ll be fired for bad performance.
i think it’s kinda early and hard to say with all these changes latelly, so i won’t do any :)
A new season, so my new predictions:

Match engine enhancement: improved players tackling decision. At most 2 closest players will try to tackle an opponent at the same time. We expect this to reduce the “swarm” behavior.
Increased the number of different formations allowed from 5 to 7.

Don’t be fooled by his 85 shooting, with high tackle for an attacker and incredible speed and dribbling skills Nicola is a threat to many defenses. His header skill is also a plus, specially now with better wingers usage.
Price is negotiable.

He improved from 82 to 94 in tackle (and the other attributes) the last two seasons, and jumped from 92 to 94 in tackle 3 games from the end of the official season. Given his tremendous growth these two years, he might still have some place for improvement despite his age of 24
I believe it’s not implemented yet :)
I still can’t have more then 5 saved formations. Is it implemented yet? Or is it just me?
This keeper needs a drug test.

Today’s most important improvement: goalkeeper injury.
That’s right. There is a 1 in 400 chance of a goalkeeper injury during a match. If you have only one quality keeper it’s better start thinking about buying another one.
p.s.: the current injury names used are the same for keepers and regular players, so they may not make sense. Please ignore it, after all, the important information is how many turns the player will be injured ;)
Country points obtained on CL or Libertadores are doubled. In other words, a victory or draw on these competitions are now worth twice as much country points as the same result on UEFA Cup or Copa Sudamericana.
When a loan was renewed the smallest asked period was used as the new loan period. For example, if I asked 36-144 turns the renewal period would be 36 turns, even if the other manager had originally loaned him for 108 turns. This will remain the same for existing loans, but for new ones the exact period will be used for renewal.
We have to find a balance between first team opportunity and money. I wish I had came up with a good formula already…I’ll raise this enhancement’s priority so we can work on it sooner.

ahh… i thought players had become more thoughtful nowadays… any plans for that gabriel?? players looking for teams with more first team opportunity rather than money…
Young and developing players available for loan, excellent for new managers and new country teams. Take a look!
Yes, there are a couple other investigations going on :)
Does that mean a certain team with a certain goalkeeper in Fastticker is also being investigated?
Thanks to Nicky Broos, one of our users, the coutry list page got a new look. Check it out!
Filipe got it right, but the reason is cheating investigation ;)
I believe the player returned to his previous club. That means that it was an Admin to put him back there, it was some bug or mistake from the manager…
Regards
if this means the players are looking for clubs where they have more first team opportunity, i would welcome any such changes…
i feel this is better for the game…
Huh, i thought then when you made a higher bid you got a player?
