I agree with all except all players starting with 16 years old… wouldn’t that prejudice the transfer market as the managers would prefer to develop all their players first?

The most important is that I can keep with Benfica… By the way, we win today :D :D :D

Hello guys!

After the considerable amount of changes in the player evolution system we’ve been thinking about a partial reset. It will take too long for the new system make a difference, as there are lots of young stars from the old system. Besides that, economy is becoming too unbalanced and the amount of money available is growing too fast, we have some new rules planned for wages, cpu teams transfers and could do some improvement on merchandise and sponsorship earnings before the reset.

You may be asking yourselves, why “partial” reset? Well, not everything will be reset. We’ll keep:
-managers and teams history, including titles
-teams will stay in whatever division they are
-managers will stay with their teams
-season counting
-did I forget anything?

We’ll reset:
-managers ranking (maybe)
-teams money (all the same)
-stadiums (all the same)
-departments (0 for all)
-country ranking (all the same, 70 average youths)
-players (all teams will get 2 keepers, 6 defenders, 6 midfielders, 4 attackers and 6 youths, everybody with 16 years old as they were all new youths)
-board opinion (50% for all)
-did I forget anything?

For now it’s just a suggestion that we feel would be healthy for the game. As a bonus we could add a few more countries and/or divisions. It’s time for a next step. What do you think? ;)

Cheers!

I was with SS/MS too. I managed Liverpool for a long period in one of the challenge games and Marseille in Fulltest. Was gutted when the site closed :(

Hmmm, I need to take a look at that, if it turns out to be common I’ll make some changes to the match engine. Thanks for letting us know.

Cheers!

Thanks Gabriel!

Another question, I’ve noticed that there have been like 5-6 balls hitting the bars during my last games.
Is that normal?
It seems to me it’s not realistic as that is a rare event in a real game.

Cheers!

We now have game masters (take a look at Gabriel’s last post to see the name list). Our first objective is to dramatically improve our anti-cheat activities.
cheers!

Hi Juracy,

There is no easy way to keep track of player evolution. For my players I have an excel spreadsheet with their skills. There are plans to provide coaching reports saying when and what your players have improved, but there is no current estimate for when this enhancement will be ready.

Cheers!

Hi!

How can I keep track of player evolution?

Sometimes I see the blue numbers in the Team Players tab, however after some games without looking at the tab I lose track of when changes happened.

Cheers!

Some simple suggestions implemented:
-After sending a friendly invitation you stay in the same page instead of going to the team info page.
-Added team logo beside the team name on competition titles page

Cheers!

Forgot to mention in the players development announcement, all existing players that still have points to improve will need 30 experience points for the next improvement. Afterwards the new rules will apply.

Cheers!

New player development system (it’s long but worth reading). The first part is a copy of what I posted in the “IMPORTANT – Player Improvement” topic, so if you’ve already seen it there you can jump right to the paragraph after the example.

-Coaching will be changed so that it does not influence how many skill points the player earns at once, but how often he improves
-When improving a player will earn from 1 to 5 skill points
-Different match types will give the player different amounts of experience points: 1 for friendlies, 3 for league and cup matches, 4 for UEFA Cup and Sudamericana, 5 for CL and Libertadores and 6 for Club World Cup
-In order to improve the player will need something around 15 to 60 points, depending on the coaching level and team division
-Second division youths will start at the same level as a first division youth. The difference between divisions will be the amount of points necessary for the next player improvement, as stated above
-Starting on 16 players will receive only part of their potential every year, 10% in the average so that their maximum can be reached around 25 years old. Of course there will be players receiving more or less potential per year allowing some to be young stars and some to reach their maximum near 30.
-Keepers will stop improving tackle and shooting while the other players won’t improve keeping
-After reaching his maximum a player will have increased each skill by 20 points, in the average, therefore the average total points increased in all skills will be 120 for keeper and 140 for everybody else

EXAMPLE: Consider a new youth defender, 16 y.o.. Suppose he receive 10% of his potential points, it means he will have a total of 14 points to increase on his skills. He plays some matches during the season and improves 3 times, earning 2, 4 and 5 points, respectively. There are 3 unused points that will be carried over to the next season. Now he turns 17 and receives more 5% of potential, 7 points. He has now reached 15% of his total potential points and has 10 points to improve. Let’s say he plays some matches and improves twice, 5 points in each. He has no more potential points left for this season, so even if he plays enough matches he won’t increase his skills until he is 18 y.o. and receive more potential points. And so his career goes.

For existing players all potential is already there, so the only thing that will change is the improvement speed as stated above. Some players who have already reached their maximum in the old system may start improving again in the new system.

We think these changes are for the best. There are lots of strategies that can be applied regarding player development right now. Some may think that coaching 10 is useless as it may improve players faster than necessary. It’s partially true for your own players, but if you hire a player from a team with low level coaching there may be a lot of potential to unleash. Also, high coaching will help you have top players around 25 years old instead of almost 30. For small teams this new system should also be better, as second division youths start at the same level as first division and those who can’t afford top level coaching won’t suffer from never getting top players, they will only take longer to become top players.

Enjoy!

Thanks for all comments and opinions here!

Thank you!!!

The average (mean) age on my team is probably around 20. The median age is 19. That’s just crazy. It should be around 26 or 27. My team, and every team, should have one or two players age 30+ in the starting lineup. I only have 2 players age 30+… and one is on loan, and the other I keep for purely sentimental reasons! My next 2 oldest players are 25. They were my “studs” a few seasons back. Now neither of them plays.

The other 31 players are 22 or less. ALL of my starters are 22 or less… all with 80’s and 90’s skills.

And I’m not nearly the best in Brazil. And many Brazil fast-ticker teams are constructed like mine.

It’s CRAZY in fast-ticker Brazil!!! Totally out of control.

I RARELY look at transfer markets now. Why bother? I don’t often find anything useful there. And if a player is good enough for my team, he is going to cost WAY too much. It’s easy to develop good young players now.

I’m not sure of what to do, or how to do it. But something clearly needs to change. So I’m glad you are making changes!

… next… more countries… and National teams!!!

ps. last year, my team was losing, and I didn’t know why. This year, I’m winning, and I don’t know why! I have almost no “feel” for the matches anymore. Player development feels etched in stone… and the match results feel totally random… and it should be the other way around!

Hi Alexander,

Youth players takes from 60 to 276 turns to ask for a contract. After they ask you have 12 turns to answer. There is no way to shorten or influence this time.

Cheers!

Hi everyone,

I have a couple of youth players who has been with the club for some time now without asking for a contract. Is there any logic behind when the player will ask for a contract? And is there any way of influencing/shorting the time until a contract demand?

Kind regards
Alexander

In the past 3 seasons and in the upcoming seasons we’ve seen and we will continue to see some of the greatest players say bye to the game and retire, such is the case of French Forward André Lechat, at 35 years it is known that he only has a couple of years left of playing soccer, although he new has a rating of 89 in shooting he is till an undisputable starter. He has been with Caen (France) ever since Season 1 Turn 1. He has played 716 official matches and has scored 658 goals to be named one of France best players of all times, he has been the Top Scorer for Ligue 1 in France 5 times making season 2 the top scorer of all the leagues with 46 goals. Lechat’s only downfall is the poor productivity in international competitions, with Caen qualifying for international competitions about 12 times in their history, Lechat has played 28 international games and only scored 7 goals 6 in UEFA Cup and only 1 goal in CL, scoring his last international goal in season 8.

Although he has not scored many goals in International matched he is still be considered one of France biggest stars of all times.

Do you have a “Legend” that has retired, is retiring this season or will retire in the next couple of seasons?

Hi Guys,

dont know is you have anything about this, or if you guys are currently working on this, but I thought that it would be cool if every season there would be a Player of the year, the player that made the biggest impact to his team, and help his team achieve great success, it can be eather by statistics (i.e. best average ranking, most goals, most goals in important situation, most improved, etc) or by voting like in real life, have about 10-12 representatives from each country vote for their top 5 players who they think are the best of the game, and give them points (1st place gets 5 points, 2nd place gets 4 points 3rd place gets 3 points and so no…like in real life) that way we can get a player that is named “Ruby Player of the Year” or however you want to name it. what do you guys thik?

We’ll add minimum coaching level for loans in the future. After the new improvement system is in place that shouldn’t be a big deal as poor coaching will only cause slower improvement, but if the loaning team uses your player on official matches it may be better than yourself using the player on friendlies if the coaching difference is not that big.

Benfica has won 4 in a row in the Portuguese League, and they may extend that this very season. He has done a great job with his team, and I’m sorry that I can’t give him enough competition, as I don’t have enough time to improve the mighty Desportivo das Aves where I wanted ;) Kudos to Filipe, too!
