I’m ok with reset as long as it resolves problems. At this point, i’m not sure if it’ll be enough to reset the game to overcome problems we have.

A lot of words said, i agree with most of them. Of course there’ll be super rich teams, superstar players, super big stadiums and like. We have them in real life too. A simulation game is successful only if it provides a realistic simulation so what should be done is decreasing ’super’s. I’m sure all admins are aware of that.

If the problem is that we already have too many young superstar players, i have a suggestion: Add +8 to their ages (or +5 or +10, up to you). Find out players with value of more than 10m and younger than 20 years old and increase their ages. Owners of those players will not be happy of course but other players are not happy too. It can be explained like: “previous player development was too unrealistic, you took advantage of it and that’s ok. we’re not resetting whole dimension or decreasing your player skills but we have to do something to create the balance. sorry for inconvenience” Easy as that. I belive that can solve problem which makes admins think to reset the dimensions: Too many super young players and it’ll take too long to sweep them out.

Let’s keep them unbreakable for now to avoid problems and work on the improvements already suggested (minimum number of official matches, level of coaching, etc).

I agree with Dirk, if they are unbreakable there should be that options for loaning team couch department and games to play (in this particular I like Gabriel’s idea to make it depends on the wage percentage).
This way both loaning and loaner have contract guaranties and I believe it would stimulate the loans market.

I totally agree. The loan agreement should be improved if we choose the “unbreakable” path.

If you make them unbreakable, I think, you also need to add an option that we can choose a minimum coaching level for the loaning team. The goal of loaning is to make these players better but if a team with coaching level 3 loans him this developpement won’t be that fast as with a coaching level 9.
Another suggestion is a minimum number of matches he has to play. The kind of match doesn’t matter.
So I support unbreakable loans as long as we can specifie the loancontract more.

That is a delicate subject. Some think contracts should be easy to break, some think that there should be a cost to break them and some think that they should be unbreakable. We were thinking about changing the system to make them unbreakable, which is a conservative choice – but it makes it easier for everybody to avoid problems.

I have loaned out 2 of my players, but….. instead of not participating they play every friendly match.

They now have a small amount of stamina, I don’t seem to get out of the contract (which is exactly a 0%-wage).

Of course I can talk to their manager, but shouldn’t there be a way to get them back ?

Some players ended up with multiple lines for their friendly statistics. The bug has been fixed but the extra lines will remain for this season.

- Job Search Centers: This game area will help you in finding a job. It is also very useful for new players, as it is the first screen they will see.
- Reorganized Menus: The menu was reorganized in a more logical way. Icons are grouped in areas related to the manager, team and miscellaneous.

@Parag: Nice suggestions. The taxes one is something that has been discussed behind the scenes for a while, we’ll probably try that in the future. I had thought about something similar to the degradation cost you mentioned, my idea was that larger stadiums and departments had a chance to degrade every season (lose some seats, go down one level). Having staff people rather than departments was our first idea, but we never thought about having both. How would that work? Sponsor signing is very interesting but as you can imagine, hard to implement. In the current system there is no way to sign sponsors, the value is based on your team’s performance. We may consider sponsor signing in the future, I like the idea.

Looks like we’re not going for a reset, at least not for now. It was good to read so many different opinions and ideas to improve the game. Thank you all!

Hi everybody.
Well for me is a surprise!!!
I might be selfish. But i managed GETAFE from the end of season 8, where i was fighting to stay on 1st division. I had a small stadium and a pretty bad squad. Now my team just started to look good in the LIGA and a hope maybe in CHAMPS.
I sold my best players. Now i try to keep them and to buy the best on the market. I build a good stadium and i think a have good money.
Now a reset will be so hard to take…… although i understand everybody’s point.
I like the game, and i think i will be around. I just wish whatever changes will be made, they have to be fair for everybody.
salud amigos, damago.

hey gabriel,
rather than resetting, how about changing the rules every once or two seasons… so that it creates a level field.
One idea may be that we could have a budget cap ( not necessarily a restriction, but then if you have more than certain amount of budget or funds then, you will have to pay more taxes), or may be if a club wins some cup regularly then then have some tough ties for those clubs in the cup competitions.
I know its difficult implementing than saying, but then, we can always thing about them.

Some of my ideas are…

  • one is the large taxes associated with large budgets ( but these taxes are calculated once in a season or twice a season)
  • If you have larger stadiums, you have to pay more “degradation” cost ( extra cost other than maintenance cost)
  • Have Physios, coaches, and scouts along with departments… and similar higher degradation cost associated with each of these departments.
  • Like players these staffs could also have retirement after some age, and decrease in performance of those staff after certain age. which would again reset the advantage. (unless they hire a better one).
  • Hiring and firing of these alternate staffs.
  • And managers being able to sign sponsors… ( may be board could decide whether to let the manager join the negotiation or board will do it itself… ) ( i can’t find how i can negotiate with the sponsors in the current system)

And once again, this is just a suggestion, may be some alternative way of thinking…

*
As i suggested initially we could have different parameters to those things each season and change those parameters at every season change… so, that there could be more randomness.

We could do the same with current system also. Like may be change the system parameters for sponsors and taxes and players every season…*

Now that’s interesting. We already have some informal agreements where I work and it would be great to have such affiliated teams rule. I’ll add this to our list.

Cheers!

I’m not sure this is the term in English for “Clube Satélite” :D I think you know what it is…

The mother team would pay a year amount to the affiliated, loan players and could have priority buying the affiliated players.

This would be a good way for the poorest teams to get some money and players. At the end of the season they could not renewal the contract…

I don’t know if it is possible, but what do you think? This contracts could be moderated by the game masters, to avoid the possibility of cheating…

Hello everyone.
To be honest I don’t know what to think… The only thing I do know is that something should be done.
Here are some thoughts, perhaps, no too organized.
At first, I thought the partial reset was obviously(!) the best choice. In my opinion, it doesn’t make any sense, to simply decrease the abilities of some players! It would be a much “cleaner” solution to simply restart the game, or creating another dimension (Gabriel alerted for the risks, but this was probably the most sensible option).
But on the other hand, resets are bad for the game. I remember the last time a reset was done, and the first seasons after were pretty boring… I’m pretty sure that a reset has to be done (sooner or later), but I think it should be done perhaps only once more, when big changes happen!
In conclusion, I don’t agree with any of the solutions proposed (“partial reset” or “ability rescaling”) and I think something should be done. Not much help :-).
Sorry guys.
Luís.
PS- Guys, whatch for the posts in portuguese; not everyone reads Portuguese…

Just a simple feature, sometimes we have 10,20 friendly matches invitations, maybe would be good to allow us to accept/deny them all at once.
