12 turns. It is possible that his counter proposals decrease a little, but not much, until they reach a value that is not likely to change. Starting with a $1 offer is a good way to know how much the player is willing to accept, but it’s not a good idea if he has asked for a contract like 10 turns ago for example :)

Cheers!

For how many turns will an expiring youth wait for the contract ? What if I offer 1$ wages every time, will it change anything ?

I think you had no chance to enjoy at all Alban, I’ve already changed the stadium logic to make the price fair when you’re going to the next size level, so in your example you won’t pay 4M anymore to go from 39900 to 40900 ;)

Cheers!

No, I mean, is your default formation the one called “Default” or have you changed it to be a formation with a different name? Never mind, I’ve just looked at the database and answered my question, you haven’t done that :)

If you’re talking about cutting off some letters it’s ok, we do that to make the names smaller in the report, replay and formation screens :)

Season 12, Turn 108

In a match between Santos and America RN Frank Deigendesch from Santos was injured, but in match report it was shown as “2 min: F. Deigende (h) is injured.”

Unfortunately yes. The cost should be proportional but it isn’t yet. In your example you should pay 400k for 100 seats and 4.5M for the other 900 to go from 39900 to 40900. Enjoy while you can, we’ll change that ;)

Cheers!

I have 36200 seats at the moment, is it smarter to add 3 times 1000 seats, reach 39200, then add 700 seats, reach 39900, then start adding by 1000 seats again (because 1000 seats at 39900 cost 4M and at 40000 they start to cost 5M) ?

A co-worker reported a similar problem Stramazi. Have you changed your default formation? He has and I’m afraid this could be the cause. I’ll review the logic which gets the formation for the match and post here if I can find any bug.

Cheers!

Looks like if your performance is fine, when you expand 1000 seats, you make 10000$ more per each home match and 10000$ every week from Sponsors. This means in a 20 teams league minimum 200000$ for matches and 480000$ from Sponsors a season. So this makes sense.

This also means you get much more per seat from Sponsors than from selling tickets

Those values are for Sponsorship + Merchandise Hugo, so everything looks fine. Good point, though. :D

AAhahahaha, That’s not my intention..I swear!!rsrs. I must show some respect for the number 1 in the world! :)
Thanks for the explanations. By the way, it happens again in the last game agaisnt Cruzeiro. But now I’m not sure if I look up before the update to set my team how I was in the game against you. So I’ll wait till the next game .

You didn’t ask me Alban, I have the portuguese title, I am 15 overall and 2nd ranked manager for portuguese league! I am still in top at my league, even playing much less now! It’s a bit difficult to improve in overall ranking because our league has less games (good for international competitions, bad for money and points).
My team only gets 220k income for sponsorship, and 110k for merchandising… I have outstanding performance from my board, and I receive a lot of messages with good results from the board, this is due to the low expectations they have :) like this season (the lowest expectations ever):
League expectation: Stay in division
Cup expectation: Reach the round of 16
International expectation: Reach the round of 16
My stadium has 46200 seats and I really would like to get more sponsorship :) too!!!
And by the way, check those teams stadiums lol it can’t be 10xseats or the cap is not working lol

Thanks Stramazi! I think you came here just to tell everybody you won the match against me even using the wrong formation…just kidding man :D

I see some options for what happened:

1) The old bug where an unavailable player is not automatically replaced by someone in the same position (in your case an unavailable midfielder was replaced by an attacker)
2) A 4:3:3 formation you have was setup for the match against me while a different formation was 4:4:2
3) Another bug we are not aware of yet.

As always, I’ll take a look to make sure everything looks fine and will let everybody know if there is a bug.

Thanks!

Interesting numbers Alban, my sponsorship (Flamengo) is a little less than 200k and merchandise a little more than 100k :-)

Sponsorship is directly related to the team performance, but the better the performance the longer it takes for the sponsorship to increase. I’m pretty sure I’ve limited the sponsorship value according to the stadium, something like stadium size x 10, so if you have a 40,000 seats stadium your sponsorship will be no more than 400,000. The maximum sponsorship value a team can earn is around 1,000,000 but this is way too hard to reach it. (Maybe Fiorentina from ManagerSim old days would receive something around that ;) )

Merchandise in the other hand is attached to your top player’s quality. When I say top players I mean 6 best defenders, 6 best midfielders, 4 best attackers and 2 best goalkeepers. There is no limit for this value, even though it will usually be less than your sponsorship. Remember that while better players will increase the merchandise value, they will also increase the board expectation.

Hope this helps.

We were out for some hours, due to a problem in our server (not in rubysoccer itself). Sorry for any inconvenience. The ticks will be back to their correct schedule real soon – and we will not run the ticks that should be executed during the outage.
cheers!

Hi, I asked some of the top clubs’ managers about their Spons/Merch income and was surprized to get so many honest answers !

Brazil

- Cruzeiro ~530,000
- Atletico-PR ~650,000

Argentina

- Boca Juniors ~400,000

Spain

- Atletico Madrid ~450,000

England

- Liverpool ~600,000

Portugal

Italy

- Genoa ~550,000 (Board opinion: outstanding)

Germany

- Wolfsburg ~450,000

France

I didn’t get the answers from 2 leagues, but it really looks like the difference is very smooth (yeah, I thought that Brazilian top clubs would earn about 1,000,000 each 3 turns). This also shows that still, if you want “greens every week” like in MS, you’d better have low wages by using players from your youths or just negotiating alone :)

By the way, if you want to have 2 lvl 10 departments, be ready to spend 480k per 3 turns (23M per season).

Though I would like to know if the difference really exists, because Atletico’s 650k is still much more than Boca’s 400k.

My own team is #1 in Brazilian second league and my average income is only 230k and my Board is not happy with me.

A question to the developers:

We are managers, what’s the best way to manage our teams to earn more in Spons/Merch – better stadiums/players/results…/leagues ?

Hy Gabriel,

What could happen with my team position. I put 4:4:2 and it plays 4:3:3. My attacker Guido Ros was in the middle and other players change his positions. I went to set the players configuration right after the 18:00 O’clock update!
PS. This game was against you with Flamengo! And I win it.: ) just don’t know how!

And congrats for the last inprovements in coaching and phisio, they really don’t take any time lkike you said before!

Regards
Stramazi

OK Gabriel, thanks. I’ll always send you a message if something wrong could happen.

And Alban, your players is in real downsized price. They are very good players for a low price.
Selling me 2 players could be a nice way to disguise your acts.
Don’t you think that is a strange attitude to set off your player right before the update? Of course you don’t.
If you continue acting like that, next time I’ll send you a english message! So you don’t have to cry for the developers!

Calm down guys :-)

Don’t worry Alban, there is no evidence of cheating against you, I’m sure Stramazi got worried cause we had some cheating problems in a recent past and our users are the best source of information about it.

Cheers!

Hi

The manager of this club is me. I got a letter from Diego Stramazi accusing me, but I am not that good at Portuguese, although I’ve studied it for a couple of years, but I had no practice ever.

“Tá tentando trapacear camarada? Colocando jogador a preço baixo pra comprar ocm outro time e se alguém entra na parada vc retira? Vais tomar aquela denúncia básica, pilantra!”

But my players aren’t put on the transfer list for low price. At least the ones with good skills. And I removed one of the players Diego bid on, because I also sold other players at that time and felt that it is better to remove that player from the transfer list for the team’s good.

I doubt it is a good deed to buy 2 players from me and to accuse me of cheating at the same time.

P.S. sorry to post this all here in the public forums

Hy Gabriel / Danilo,

Coul you please, stay atempt for the Amrica RN manager in Brazil League. He put a lot of player for sale for a low price. I tryed to buy one but he take him off before the tick update. There is a lot of other playes in the same condition!

Thanks!
Stramazi
