Currently not, Danilo just told me a few minutes ago he thinks it should. Kinda make sense, an aggressive player would be like a team playing with hard tackling strategy.

Does aggression have any positive effect, like play with more “intent”?

2. Strange results last night in Fast game...

Hi Javier,

We haven’t changed anything in the match simulation recently. I guess this was simply a lucky night for most teams who played at home. The results today were more reasonable, except for the number of 0-0 scores. I used to see that in MediumTicker, Brazil. The truth is sometimes it’s too hard to score. Let’s see how headers (which will be added soon) will behave before changing anything.

Cheers!

Hi all,

Valladolid 2 x 0 Elche
Betis 3 x 0 Espanyol
La Coruña 1 x 0 Valencia
Barcelona 0 x 0 Zaragoza
Almeria 2 x 0 Osasuna
Atletico Madrid 4 x 0 Getafe
Recreativo Huelva 10 x 0 Villarreal
Real Sociedad 0 x 0 Tenerife
Racing Santander 3 x 0 Levante
Real Murcia 1 x 0 Sevilla

And we have even a 10-0!! :)
And have you seen that the games that play the math out of his own stadium couldn’t score a single goal?

Best regards!
Javier. (Faster game: Atletico de Madrid)

I think that the best option is 3. We dont need to be obses with SoccerSim. Diferent ways can be funnier!!!!

1. Topic: Suggestions

Option 3 is better i mean looking for players is enough i dont want to be spending to much time looking for a scout etc. I also agree with Phillip’s idea were we still have to pay a fee even if we have upgraded them.

I’m 100% behind option 3, sort of lets you tailor what you want trained and still keeps your time free for player hunting. Also keeps it simple which I imagine is nice from the coding side ;)

That would be great.

Taking Phillip amd Thorp’s idea, if the value was progressive (making it REALLY hard to maintain the “coaching performance” at 100%, we would have to spend more and more, making it a good way to take money out of the game, if having 100% at coaching would mean better youths, or faster developing in players. I believe everyone would be willing to pay, having those in exchange.

Lets say that you’d start noticing a deficit in coaches work when their “potential” was below 90%. That could be a few weeks after you started investing on your coaches less that X% of your monthly revenue. I think the value should change depending on various factors, including country, club’s financial situation, board expectations, etc.

Cheers.

Hi Gabriel,

I loved having staff in SoccerSim and would love to have it back. Option 1 is a must. I don’t particularly agree with Option 2, as I’d like coaches to be realistic as well with their skills and talents increasing and decreasing accordingly with age, experience, hidden potential. Also, coaches might not WANT to coach for a smaller league forever and maybe would like to have a chance to change their work environments. Option 3 is perfect.

I have a 4th suggestion, what about personality types? Ambitious, Greedy, Patriotic, Patient…etc?

I would preffer option 3.

Teams will now have some discounts when expanding their stadiums with a larger number of seats at once. It will work as follows:

100 seats – 0%
200 seats – 1%
300 seats – 2%
400 seats – 3%
500 seats – 4%
600 seats – 5%
700 seats – 6%
800 seats – 7%
900 seats – 8%
1000 seats – 9%

I like Philipp’s suggestion. ’Cause otherwise all clubs have 100% improved staff departments after a certain time.
And maybe they can improve by experience. So the longer they are coach, the more experienced they are. With this experience they can coach more effective.
So coaches (or other departments) need to be financed to stay at the same level and can improve by experience.

I also think there has to be no difference between big and small clubs

1. Topic: Suggestions
2. Staff

i find all option all right.
for option 3 i would suggest:
for stadiums you have a 1-time investment & a constant output (=capacity). But for staff (&their equipment) i’d prefer a certain fee (a month or year) you have to invest to keep the level of quality service and infrastructure. otherwise the quality in general and of the certain staff members will decrease.

i wouldn’t make a diference between small & big clubs – that’s always an easy suggestion by those who have minor clubs. buit it’s not what’s real life. Bigger clubs pay more (than minors) for better services (than minors can provide) not for equal (to minors) services …

In managersim, the staff markets were crowded by a huge number of awful coaches, scouts, and physios. It was hard to get good coaches. Therefore, I like the idea of improving the departments by own investments. It might also be interesting to use the experience of one or the other player who is retiring as a scout, coach for keeping, or other, observer of opponents, or auxiliary coaches …

1. Topic: Suggestions

I would like to have departments, but only if it helps. For example, if coaches will help my players to improve faster or help me get better youths.

And it should be made using a progressive scale, so that bigger clubs have to pay more or much more than smaller. Or maybe it is better to be able to concentrate only on 1 department and invest 100% in it (you choose your path yourself)

Just so that you know, I was working towards option 1 (maybe 2), but I now prefer option 3, suggested by one of my co-workers.

Let’s talk about new features! I’m currently working on adding staff (physios, coaches and scouts) to RubySoccer. There are lots of ways of doing that and I’d like to hear your opinion about this subject. My suggestions are:

1) ManagerSim-like: every country has a staff market (similar to the player market) where you can find staff to hire. When negotiating with a staff guy you offer a wage and the term of notice (from 12 to 144 turns). The wage is 3-turn based like the players wage. The term of notice is used when you want to fire the guy. If you want to fire him using the term of notice he will leave after the number of turns agreed, if you want to fire him instantly you’ll have to pay him 25% of the wages he would receive if you have used the term of notice. There is no need to renew staff contract, they will be yours until they are fired or retire.

2) Staff market as above but negotiation is around wage and seasons, like what we have for players today. This would require contract renewal when their contract is near the end. Firing them before the contract ends would work the same way firing a player works today.

3) Staff departments: each team would have 3 departments, one for physios, one for coaches and one for scouts. They’d have a rating and cost you money every 3-turns. You could spend some money to improve a department the same way you spend money expanding the stadium.

4) Another suggestion.

How you use each staff or department and what is the limit for how many staff guys or rating you can have are subjects for another topic. For now let’s stick with this first approach.

Cheers!

The explanation for Hannover 96 and Derby County managers was they are cousins. I sent another message to Hannover 96, let’s see what he has to say.

Hy Gabriel,

Certainly the Hannover 96 is a cheater trying to make some irregular transfers. This insane manager tried to put his bests players for sell at the very last update in fasttiker and cancelled all of then in a few minutes before the update!

Thanks

Already notified the manager, waiting for a reply. Unfortunately looks like we’ll have to put back the same IP transfer block. Thanks for reporting!

2. Can someone sack this cheater?

Or do it like in the real hard world…
If a player has a contract with a club the first part is the transfer amount, like an awktion. Allow managers to bid higher transfer amounts! After 3 ticks the biggest one or ones are opened to negotiate the wage with the player…
For free transfers wage is everything…
This way the seller team will suffer less $ damage, and it’s probably the way it is supposed to be.
Cheers
