I ended up buying a defender, I already have the 5th best attack in the league, but also the 4th worst defense :P

I wanted to surprise you guys and properly announce it when we allow free kick takers to be selected (as well as for penalty kicks and corner kicks). The answer is yes, keepers use the same skills as in a regular shot, 60% keeping and 40% speed. The free kick taker in the other hand uses 80% shooting and 20% control.

Free kicks are always direct shots when near the goal, otherwise they’re always high balls, meaning they can result in a header. For now you can give any kind of order on free kicks Alban, it’s a fixed behavior, but it’s an interesting enhancement for the future, if not too complex ;)

Cheers!

I think same skills as an ordinary shot, 60% kep + 40% spe.

And heading if it becomes a high pass or a cross. But can it ? Would be great if it were possible to order players make crosses or shoot directly in different situations !

Not for now, he ended the season on a high note :)

You have one MC I’m very interested in, wanna negotiate that?

I just saw Ascoli score on a freekick. Suprise! I didn’t know there were already freekicks in the game. You work quicker then I can see :-)

Which skills does a goalkeeper need to catch freekicks? Also 60% Keeping and 40% speed+heading?

Cheers

Nice! Thanks for the info Philipp! While we don’t have this hall of fame in game it’s cool to see it in the forums :D

Hi Kalle,

Bids for non listed players are on our plans, as well as some kind of BCC contract clause (and other clauses). Morale, definitely! We feel we’re almost done with what we consider basic functionality, then we’ll be able to start working on more interesting things like that :)

Stadium expansion cost is not exponential, but linear. You pay 100,000 for 100 seats when your stadium is smaller than 10,000 seats and 1,000,000 for the same 100 seats when it’s bigger than 90,000. The construction time also increases, in the previous example it would take 1 turn to build 100 seats for the small stadium and 10 turns for the bigger stadium.

Cheers!

Not sure about that yet, some people complained this should be coaches job…but it is a possibility :)

When I say dynamic value calculation I mean use the value paid on transfers to adapt our estimated value calculation formula so all players value would slowly become more realistic when recalculated. :)

I’m not sure do I speak of the same topic or just newbie babbling…. but I wonder is there any chance to do following:

Go to teams page, choose one team to research, then choose its players, to do research,
then a manager sees interesting player at team’s roster, woohoo, I gotta make a bid! but wait a min…

I cannot bid… because there is no “offer” button in front/back of player name/stats….

Could that be possible to bid players and leave it to manager(/or player choice if BCC) choice whether deals goes through….?

Also I would be delighted to see player morale affecting their behaviour, (maybe additional hidden stat “ambition” would be guiding his morale chances how patiently he can wait at reserves…?)

Lastly I would definitely like to see team staff stats as well… and from MS experiences I would adjust stadium expansion into direction that around 70000 would be sensible limit for normal stadium size tops… of course no limit, but costs would be exponential after that or something to make it extremely difficult to increase over 70000…. or maybe some country/ adjustment for that?

I just tossing my ideas…. so feel free to pick up any usable things…. :-)

Cheers,
Kalle

I remember there was an idea that our scouts would evaluate players and tell us what to expect from youths. Maybe it is possible to ask scouts about players’ potential ? Maybe once a week or somehow else ?

Yeah, I remember in MS we could buy a 10M worth player for 40M and then his price slowly dropped, or rised, if he was bought for less than he was worth

I completely agree with all that has been said. Here’s my action plan: adjust all player’s values based on the new rule AND make the value calculation dynamic over time so it will slowly approach the real market value.

Sorry for the mess guys, I didn’t mean to get everybody confused ;)

7M is too much for me right now. Any chance of reducing the price a little? ;)

“Value” is nearly meaningless now. Therefore useless. Worse then that… it’s potentially/actually confusing!

When a 100 rated defender is available for free transfer… and he’s valued at only 2.9 million… but gets a salary of around 700,000+!… and he had 2 or 3 bad players “valued” above him on the free agent list… it’s insane… and meanwhile I have 16yo striker with NO skills and worth 3 million?

UGH.

So now the free agent lists are useless… because the “value” that you use to sort them is useless. So, you need to look at every single player. And that’s OK if you want it that way… but then you should just ELIMINATE the “value” rating at that point. Because it DOESN’T MEAN ANYTHING.

Something is seriously amiss. I watched the “value changes” as it started, and I thought it might correct itself, so I kept quiet and just watched and waited. It seems to be getting worse instead.

I am now of the opinion that there is something FUNDAMENTALLY WRONG now. Something that needs to be looked at, and fixed.

I would like this new formula for all players, too

I agree with Fabrizio Lobba… 25 yo is a good limit. Many players have the best years of their careers at tha age, specialy if they change club and coaches…

I think the value only ajust to the new formula when a player develop so a good solution would be to aplly the formula to all players…

I also suggest to apply the new calculation to all the existing players.

@Dave: The values mean something on the transfermarket as a recommanded selling price, but not at the moment. So when they are applied to all players it’s ok for me.

What does the “value” column mean now???

In medium ticker (Mallorca/Spain), I have a slow striker who has some other decent skills, and is among the leaders in the division in scoring. He’s valued at 800,000. I just got a 16 yo forward, with a 60’s shooting, and no other good numbers… and he’s “valued” at 3 million.

Please explain, how does that make sense?

Honestly, why bother to have those sort of “values” at all?

Absolutely. Or just get rid of the “valuations” altogether. Seriously, they are that meaningless now. If anything, they only serve to distract… so why have them at all?

BTW, I’m looking for a good MC (80+ tackling, 80+ passing), I’ll trade Augusto Dias directly or even throw some extra money if the player’s good enough.

By trading directly, I mean paying something like 20M for a given player and then selling Augusto Dias at 20M as well – so no one interferes with the deal.

Come on, Gabriel! Up that deal! :P

Done, the very last scout search results are now available right below the Scouting title on Search page. We think 3 would be too much, if you like some players from old searches you should add them to your favorites ;)

Cheers!

Well, fixing it means applying the new calculation to all existing players, would that be ok? :)

The player “values” are nearly meaningless at this point. It’s broken, and you need to fix it.
