Well said. I Also think 5 players loan limit should be implemented. If you have more than 50% of loaned players in your squad, you kinda “cheat” – you get results such as victories in smaller leagues and also you save money to buy players in the future. That’s unfair to managers who try to build their teams from the start. Nice idea, Humberto !
Danilo, and what about my idea ? I wanted to search for the commentary logged in to RS in the match replay ? =)
Some teams have a lot of loan players. IMO should have a limit for this.
I remember in managersim there was optional news paper interviews that you could do talking about either your big up coming match or your recent victory or defeat and questions would be asked and you would get a chance to reply and other players would be able to see what you said in the news paper. I would enjoy either something similar where a news paper was generated or forums that would allow players within 1 country to talk to one another. (friendly trash talk :D) I would enjoy the ability to discuss league happenings between people in my country more. People might be more willing to check the forum if it was only regarding their teams country.
Paulo Verde, your name is very familiar from managersim.
Are you suggesting that you move the ticks forward an hour or making it so there are more ticks in a day?
I thought it would be helpful to add that I am running Safari 3.2.1 I should really try to see if I get the same thing with firefox. But I was more interested in knowing if anyone that works with the game has tested the game on mac.
I often log on to check my club with my Mac Book Pro, and there are somethings that I have issues with. For example on my home screen for my club my matchs show ?-? for the score… I can not watch game plays using the java app thing… and when I click on a link to a report or player from my in-game mail it kicked me back out to the log in screen..
Sly,
I disagree with this statement, “You should be rewarded for hard work when searching, to find that “golden nugget” that everyone missed.”, I would rather see Managers fighting over signing player. There is skill involved in finding quality players but making it easier for all players doesn’t take out the skill in know what a good player is. It would make signing quality players more of a factor of economics rather then time spent looking at transfer lists.
Hey stephen, where’s old boy Chris, your everlasting sidekick. You guys still playing TW?
You have to be impressed by the intelectual growth of our community. Everytime I come here I see better interactions than the last time. That makes me start to think about investing some time to improve the community tools we have…
Hey Hank, always causing troubles with your shrewd tactics ain’t you mate.
Ok here is a bit of delayed insight from MS times.
-Tactics do matter. despite the fact that tactics here are not that developed doesn’t reduce the importance of tactics. The recent Liverpool wins against Real Madrid and Scum United (between them those teams had 20 wins in a row) with 4 nets in each game are a good example of what tactics can do.
-Lots of “newbies” rely on the main stats (tackle, passing, shooting) to evaluate a player and tend to overlook “secondary” stats. That’s the biggest mistake you can make and that’s why players like Alexander end up frustrated playing against so seemingly “poor” teams on the paper (I experienced the same disturbance long ago :D). A 95 tackler with secondaries in the 60’s or even 70’s is pretty much shite. He’s ONE DIMENSIONAL.
-On the other hand, an 85 tackler with let’s say an average of 85+ in his secondaries will be much much better, because the “secondary” attributes are what makes him an all-around player (speed, anticipation, positioning, ball control, game reading, airplay etc). So the choice you have to make is to have a line up of unusual hardworking intelligent suspects vs a line up of 2-3 flashy stars and a bunch of nullities. A good questions would be: would you prefer a team averaging 95 in passing but can’t dribble and control, or would you like a team averaging 85 in passing but are great in speed, ball control and drible. How in the world is your 95 passing team gonna take the ball away from the lousy bastards on the others side? :D
-Of course you have to combine players with tactics to enjoy ultimate success :)
Parag, there are some aspects that would have to be considered
1- it would have to be in a format that the txt itself would be enough for you to understand (that is not currently the case :) ).
2- we could have a small program to interpret that for you, offline
3- everytime you see the offline replay would be one less visitor to rubysoccer. And that means a lot to us and to our community. Everytime you login rubysoccer you have, for example, a chance of passing by the forum and having some sort of interaction with somebody
Mainly for reason (3), I think that the idea is not very close to being implemented…
My respects for Hank’s post. Very well said.
And I think you guys will be pleased with the improvements we are planning, not only regarding the match engine. It is like I said in other topic: our first target is to surpass managersim in all areas, not only some of them.
Yep, this is implemented. Depending on your player age / stamina, the injury chances go up.
This forum was integrated with rubysoccer, but it is not ours (we did not implement it). Anyway, it is good enough for what we need now… :)
Sly,
In some areas we are surely behind what managersim had. But we already have a lot of areas were we have surpassed it. I hope that soon we can say that we did that in ALL areas. :)
cheers
i don’t mind reading reading minute by minute moves. (sometimes) … but the main thing is that ,if ithe information is there then, it is better if it is shown rather than hidden… i could always navigate through the important times if not all..
Not sure who it was intended at, but for the most part this thread was about my team.
But to say I’ve exploited a bug is quite the accusation. I have the same tools that everyone has access to. I have access to the same listed players, sale, loan or free, that everyone else has. If you look at my formation, many teams use it. In terms of tactics, I don’t do anything that extraordinary that others can’t do. In terms of strategies, the same thing. In terms of players, well, I do look beyond just the main stats. I used to be a GM in ManagerSim for a short time, so trust me, if there was a bug, I’d be the first to post on here. I’m here to enjoy this game, but it seems others are crying because they can’t win every single game. It’s a football simulation game, not life or death. Adjust your tactics if something isn’t working. Buy and replace players if certain players aren’t working. But to come on here and demand changes to the match engine because you didn’t win, well, I lose all respect for that type of individual. Instead of applauding the successes of lesser teams like PSG, Lyon and Penefiel, you complain that it’s unfair they won anything and the big teams with the best players have to go home empty handed.
Congratulations to Penefiel on winning the Champions League. Your accomplishment should be regarded as a great achievement, and not a “bug in the system”. From me to you, JOB WELL DONE!!
I don’t know how to spell it, but Cattenaccio was like a bug exploit in real life when first appeared =)
I think it is better to experiment with your own tactics than to lie to yourself and say it was due to a bug. Everyone has 11 players and all top teams have for some reason very similar 4-4-2 diamond formation.
But I think it should be clear that if you make 20 shots and score 0 and your opponent makes 10 and scores 1….it might be that you shoot from distance and his shooting is set to “short” or maybe he makes less passes near the opponents goal or whatever !!! Why should it be a bug ? Try to change your tactics against PSG =)
Parag, I think they are strored, but imagine there are at least 6 events every minute of the match it means 540 events to scroll =)
Vaughn, I think it will be boring to read it as a txt file…or….if you really love the game…. =)))
maybe it’s an idea to send the report, if u want, to your e-mail address in a txt file.
yah… it is better if the comments in the match replay were stored. May be storing them in chronological order where we could scroll along the comments would be appreciated.
jakobk, regardless of the problem in match engine, it is the same engine for everyone of us…
lets try to take advantage of what we have at our disposal. management is to learn the surroundings and act accordingly. lets do the same.
Hi Jakobk, I do NOT AGREE. You have one of the best team. You not winning against lower team becase they set a better set of players and get lucky as well. It happen to me in liga and champions, but i admire those manager of weaker team getting to the top. Maybe the german league is so weak that after winning almost all games, you think your team is on a roll, but when you face some easy team from other league and you strong team lost, you cry an ask for a change in match engine……. If you win the CL you will complain?? or just think your team is the best?? Not winning to me means try harder, match engine needs changes, but is following the right path and giving changes to everyboddy. I´ve seeing post of the best team in Rubby, just when being great team, the loose, move on….
saludos y suerte
Allright ladies and gents, my potential sheepshaggin stars are in desperate need of friendlies. Challenge them to their ultimate destruction, teach them that revolutions can only be build through rivers of blood and insane carnal conquests ;-)
An update of the game engine is an absolute must. I dont want to waste time on a game where some mediocre teams wins everything because they found a bug in the system, seriously the tactic options is very limited, so if you by making someone go all forward and make some settings in tackle and passing that makes you win almost every game call yourself a mastermind, you wont get my respect.
A team of mid 80’s shouldnt beat a team of end 90’s more than about once or twice out of ten regardless the tactics they use. Thats just my opinion.
I think it will be a good feature to be able to filter match replay comments for each player.
For example, I want to read all actions of my DC, so I filter comments and see if he performed like I wanted him to !
what i recall is gabriel liking the idea of player getting more injured when stamina is low, but i am not sure if it has been implemented… I have seen my reserves playing without getting injured when they are below 40. (sometimes when i am away )… so, i am also not sure, but what i am sure is this idea has been talked about and it is in their enhancement list.
well… sly, your message there was loud and clear, and it was clear that u wanted things as they were in ex-*.
well, i am not taking the main topic away by saying which manager came from where as i am not interested in that..
and once again i never said scouting searches were the problems… i said it is better if we can organise the results…
This is here what i want in my results from scouting search.
-Ability to sort results according to the players who are under loan/transfer.
-Ability to sort according to age, position, side, etc.
if you think this will make it icing on the cake to search new players, then god help…
and about the chunk of money. may be when you have million of amount to start with and backup yourselves, it is easy to say money is nothing, but even a penny if you have to spend, it should be spent worthily. So, x amount is peanuts doesn’t make your argument valid.
And may be u need to live that quote more often…
( i never want this to be personal, but i need to say what i feel… lets concentrate on what we are talking more rather than quote others words and attack… hope u will try to learn)
