More statistics:

total non-friendly matches analyzed = 26695
home victories = 13635 (51%)
visitor victories = 6780 (25%)
draws = 6280 (24%)
home goals = 45481
visitor goals = 27011

Again, I think it’s not that unbalanced, it must be harder to win when playing as visitor, weak teams must have a chance. If your team is much stronger you’ll probably win anyway. The strange results may happen sometimes, we’ll always work to make sure they don’t happen very often. I’d like to hear more opinions on this subject before changing the code.

The match Hertha Berlin x Recreativo Huelva on turn 122 was played again because Hertha’s formation for the original match was not the intended one due to some weakness related to setting up the formation in the fixtures screen. I can give more details if anybody wants. Please make sure that when you change your default formation from A to B you check the formations assigned to your matches in the fixtures screen so you won’t end up using B where you wanted A. We’ll fix it as soon as possible. If you never changes your default formation you don’t need to worry.

Cheers!

A manager is fired for bad performance only if the best applying manager is better ranked than him. The Board wouldn’t want a worse ranked manager to take over the team ;)

While implementing GM tools I am slowly improving some screens. You may notice some differences.

There is a more complex calculation behind it, after the upgrade you should have enough money to be in a regular financial situation, already considering the new maintenance cost, otherwise the board won’t let you do that.

Hmm, thats strange since I can afford the next upgrade. It’s not that expensive and yet I’m not allowed to do it yet…..:)

If you guys suspect someone is cheating, your concern will always be welcome. But if you are not certain, the best option is to send us an email.

I ll give you another suggestion. You can go to the players history page to see the exact time of the buy then you can check the team history page to see if the team he was bought from was controlled by a human manager or not by the time of purchase. You dont need to be a GM to be able to see this. Then maybe next time you wont accuse people playing the game fairly without any facts. For your information so far i bought just two players from Human managers one i paid 18m the other 35m none at the season you mentioned.

Cheers

I Can only speach from my team, since coaching department arrived, I put it in level 9, and till now, only 1 player (my main goalkeeper) have grown like this.
Only in this season i have to downsize this department to make some money.
Amacb, what about most of managers in 13th season that has negotiate with you, are inative now?

But like Amacb says, I’ll stop wasting my time. I’ll stop complaining and coming here to acuse anyone. Will just play the game the way it is. Even if some one send me a private message saying “Hy Stramazi, I’m a cheater”…

That is one thing I find really fun about this development model. I don’t think we want to lose that on rubysoccer. Does anyone disagree?

I agree entirely with Amac, really. I once bought one midfielder from a 2nd division team in England, for about 200k. During that season, his passing reached 80 and I actually thought he had reached his ceiling, because he didn’t improve for some time, so I was about to sell him. The turn after I put him on sale… the SOB started improving dramatically. I even had almost reached an agreement with one manager to sell him, before he reached 85 passing! He was gonna sell for about 4 million, then.

He’s now a 94 passing midfielder, though not very complete.

I also sold my two best strikers last season (combined for around 80 goals), and now have a trident with 3 players that improved from below 75 shooting (one is 90, the other 88 and the other 87), all below 20 and still improving. The best of them, was a total shot in the dark, he was a below average teenager which improved steadily but never spectacularly.

On the other hand, I also tried developing a promising french striker, which was well-rounded except in his most important skill: shooting. He never improved beyond 72 there, even though he was fast, a great header, good dribbler, etc. I also recently quit on what I thought was a promising Brazilian defender. At age 19 he stopped developing, and had probably reached his peak. (I’ll monitor him and acknowledge I’m wrong… if I am, down the line).

It’s a matter of luck and looking at tendencies, really. Sometimes players we think would improve get stuck, sometimes players we didn’t expect turn out great. But it’s just a master of choosing well, first, and having a whole lotta luck, second.

There is not time limit, your money is the only limit. If you’re not able to upgrade right now is because it’s too expensive for you at the moment. In the game help you can see the costs for all departments:

The reason for not having the group phase is the number of teams. We’ve had suggestions to add a group phase even with this small number of teams. We may do that, but we will for sure when we reach 32 teams on CL. Same for Libertadores and Sudamericana.

Cheers!

I’m an old Managersim player and lover. What I liked most was the way the CL was organized in this game.

Why is there a knockout system instead of a more realistic Round1 and round2 system where you are put in a group of 4 teams. Then top 2 go to the next round and after Round2 you get the knockout starting with the quater finals?

Is this is the plans for the future?

What is the time limit untill you can upgrade to a new level? As it looks now it takes longer and longer (and more expensive) to go to a new level right?

Can I get a timeframe for these upgrades? I’m at level 5 now, how long before I will have reached level 10?

Well, i myself built almost my entire team from free transfers. There is no way that you can tell the players potential before you sign them. But you can always make an educated guess by looking at their age,division, games played and all round skills etc. Its actually a combination of luck and patience. Players really take long time to develop and i realize that most people give up on their youth players easily. There is no pattern for player development. I have a player that had 84 shooting at the age of 20. Suddenly in one tick he went to 88 shooting and the next time he developed he reached 91 shooting. And by the way not all promising players are free transfered. I bought a 18 year-old 77 shooting attacker from Italian TL for 390k. Right now he has 95 shooting with all other skills over 80 including tackling and passing.

So i suggest instead of wasting your time here browse the transfer market and maybe you ll find the next hidden gem.
