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!
Stramazi
It is still possible, but that will change. I gotta find some time to change these old requested enhancements :P
Cheers!
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!
fast ticker > Champions League > 1st round > Hannover 96 x VfL Wolfsburg …
both german teams. Thought this instance isn’t possible anymore (in 1st rounds) ???
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
Thanks Stramazi, we’ll take a look.
Cheers!
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
Results in friendlies do not influence The Board, Sponsors or Merchandise.
The attendance depends on the quality of players, there is no way to increase it. We have plans to make the attendance higher when the visitor team is better than the home team.
There is no difference in chances of improving between players between friendly and official matches, we may also change that in the future, reducing friendlies effect a little bit.
Cheers!
I have some questions regarding friendly matches ?
Do results in friendlies influence The Board or Sponsors/Merchandise ?
Does the attendance depend on the quality of players ? (and is there any way to increase it ?)
Is there any difference in chances of improving between playing a friendly and an official match ?
Thanks !
In my opinion the goalkeepers are too strong and there are too many shots during the matches. We must (and we will) insert more variables to the shooting during the match to change this situation. I was feeling the same when I played in MediumTicker, lots of 0×0...don’t know why things are different on FastTicker. Anyway, the variables I’m talking about is how clear was the goal chance, the keeper should receive a penalty when there are 2 shots in a row, things like that.
Cheers!
What the hell can be happening with my Corinthians in Medium Ticker? In the last 10 games, my team only scored in 2 games! I’ve done all the possible changes on the formation, used long, medium and short shooting and the things just don’t get better.
And before anyone says that the problem is with my players, I should say that one of them is 95 in shooting and he’s the last season top scorer! Besides, I also have a 84 and two 82. The team usually finishes a lot and most on them are on target!
One more curiosity: mey team scores in the friendlies… In one of them I played my the best attacker and suprise: he scored six times.
Would it be a bug? Or am I just the most unlucky guy in Brazilian Serie A at this moment?
On the other hand, in the same last 10 games, my gk was beaten only once!!!
Any ideas??
The AI will replace the suspended player with the best player available, not necessarily in the suspended player position. This is an annoying bug that I’ve already tried to fix twice. Last time I did I caused errors on other places that I haven’t had the chance to investigate yet, but I will. When I’m done the suspended player will be replaced by the best available player in the same position.
Cheers!
Looks like when I have suspended players the AI can change my formation terribly.
The replays are available for one week, they are also accessible from the match report page, not only from the recent results section of team info page. There is a link at the bottom of the match report to watch the replay. Now if you want more matches results accessible from the team info page we can make that configurable in the future, shouldn’t require much work ;)
The RubyTube suggestion is great, but it is not something easy to implement. The way the replay works now you’d have to download a file with its contents and either install a program to watch it or submit it in a replay viewer page on RubySoccer…this program and page don’t exist yet :)
Ideally we’d export the replay as a video or flash. Who knows, it is possible in a distant future :D
Thanks Alban!
Sometimes I cannot watch the replays of latest official matches because I am asleep =)
Is it possible to show 3 last matches’ replays instead of 1 ?
And can it be done possible to save them on our PCs or maybe make a RubyTube ? =) That would be very interesting regarding tactics and also very helpful…and imagine voting “goal of the year”, “match of the season 12…”
The negative balance period was my first idea, but then I decided to try something different. It’s also an interesting alternative, for sure.
Highest bid will also improve the transfer situation – no more exaggerated bids when you negotiate alone.
Nowadays CPU teams try to sign average players from the free transfer list, so this will not be a problem.
And I wanted to know if it is possible to make the “negative balance” period – for example, you have 30 turns to make the numbers “green”.
A co-worker suggested highest bid…interesting for star players, not so good for regular players as nobody would buy them (in this case we would either release them for free after the auction period is over or destroy as we’re doing now). The player destruction is like a faster way, but an auction area in the transfers pages wouldn’t be bad ;-)
Cheers!
I don’t like the idea of destroying players either. Why destroy ? Let’s sell them for highest bid :)
Awesome, thanks.
Solved!
cheers
