These are the kind of restrictions we are planning to add, Philipp. They make sense.
Cheers!
Ups, i now just recognized Henrique bought this superb AC 92 shooter … congrats.
Everything went with the rules.
But even this splayer was 3 turn on TL, no one would look for brilliant players in the bottom section of the TL to find them. That’s the dissatisfying part of the action!
i would suggest to set the minimum sales price around 25% of the value. Otherwise the board would intefere. For player older than ~32 yro the minimum should be decreased to ~10%
I also agree with Dave, but I think it’s difficult to control the transfers value. A restriction not allowing a manager to sell players bellow their value couldn’t protect the great players from being sold; these players sometimes are worth 10 times their value. Value and real value it’s a complex issue and I’m afraid I can’t think of an automatic solution for that…
And Dave I am really sorry to see you part from the premiership…
I totally agree with you Dave, we’ll work on that :-)
Henrique absolutely did NOT cheat. And I don’t think the Fulham manager cheated either. The problem is that some BRILLIANT players went up for sale, from a quality Premiership team… and hardly anyone knew about it… and they were sold for an insanely low price. In “real life” that does not happen. And while this game does not, and should not, behave in a “real life” manner at all times… this is one time where I believe it should more closely follow a realistic expectation. Those transfers are completely legal… but completely against what the spirit of this game should be. And the game needs to be amended so that something like that can’t happen again. It puts even great managers like Henrique in an awkward position. That shouldn’t happen.
Don’t worry Henrique, buying cheap players is fair, everybody has 3 turns to find those players and make an offer. Of course there is a cheating aspect involved, but so far we’ve not found anything against you. In fact there isn’t anything concrete yet against nobody. We’ve contacted a few people in game to ask for some clarifications but the only action taken so far was remove Fulham players from transfer list yesterday.
Cheers!
I “bought” 3 players from Fulham for those very low prices but I don’t know who is their manager.
I wasn’t the only one bidding on them but if you think that’s unfair feel free to take those players from Liverpool.
I’m not cheating but it’s a fact that I took advantage of someone who was trying to cheat…
all right, thx
I hope all my answers are accurate…here we go:
Youths will get a contract when they demand unless the team has reached the 30 players limit;
Contracts will be renewed automatically for 1 year, new wage being something around what the player would accept if you were negotiating with him;
No players will be put on TL or removed from it;
And I’ve just added that to the Concepts and Rules section of the game help :-)
I agree with you Rafael. Some co-workers suggested the same thing and it makes sense. I’ll add this enhancement to our list.
Thanks!
What’s the routine of this mode?
I know it prevents from getting fired within 30 days. But what else i have to expect from this?
Will youths get a contract when they demand one?
Will player contracts be renewed automatically? For 1, 2 or 3 years?
Will player be put on TL for some (board) reason?
etc.
Hi guys
about increasing the number of stadium seats.
you’d create some sort of discount when we build more than 100 seats.
since the price is the same when we build 100 seats in four ticks or 500 seats in 20, eg, the player who construct 100 seats each 4 ticks will make more money than that who started a larger construction.
it happens because who builds only 100 seats will be able to use them just after 4 ticks, while the player who makes a long turn investment need to wait all the construction period without any increase in it’s field.
using the 20 ticks exemple, who makes small increases can use an increased stadium in two or three matches. it’s not a big advantage, but it’s an advantage.
if you don’t want to make long turn constructions cheaper, you’d liberate parts of the construction each 4 ticks. but I prefer discounts! :)
best!
Among other ideas, we are thinking about a limit of team depreciation. In other words, the board would expect that you maintain a certain level of team quality – and avoid the sell of good players if you have reached the minimum level. But we still have to think about it all.
cheers!
Me and Danilo are chatting at the moment. He suggested some rules to prevent such low prices on player transfers. The Board wouldn’t accept this kind of transfer anyway :-)
Cheaters will not ruin the fun of the game, they’ll only make us work harder to prevent them from achieving their goals.
Cheers!
It sort of ridiculous when a team buys a player for 12,000… then puts the guy he replaced on the transfer list at 10,000,000. And I am NOT saying that manager that purchased the “cut price” Fulham players cheated… far from it. He was just doing what he should do according to the rules. I’m just saying something is WRONG with that. There needs to be some sort of rule here. Clearly. Plainly. Obviously. The premiership is now basically a forgone conclusion. And I’ll be moving to a different team shortly.
I’ve just done that and now I see your message :-)
All Fulham players were removed from the transfer list and the proposals were cancelled. Let’s wait for them to get back to me.
Cheers!
All contract proposals for Fulham players in FastTicker has been deleted, and all its players have been removed from the transfer list. Fulham manager is under investigation of having multiple accounts. He has already been contacted in-game for clarifications. We’ll get back when we hear from him. Let’s not convict anyone prematurely.
Cheers!
I had done a bid for Paul Picken from Fulham (fastticker). His transferprice is $241 837. It’s ridiculous. I had done a bid of $2 441 837 (a bit higher than his normal value). In the meanwhile I have cancelled my bid after seeing this message. I don’t want to negotiate with this manager untill I know more.
I think you have to stop all the transfers of a manager who is in an investigation (also in general).
Cheers
It’s on our plans, probably after we finish our critical enhancements pack. We have our bugs/enhancements tracker tool but I think we should put a “What’s Next” link somewhere so you guys can easily know what’s coming soon.
Thanks Ian.
Just wondering if anyone else here used to play Soccersim. I played in the 3 tick a day game and I know there are a couple of others from the Winnipeg Crew playing RubySoccer now as well. Lets hope we can get a good active community going here, after all that’s half the fun!
Just wondering if there is any team morale in the game? Things like firing players, guys sitting on the bench for a long time, bad team performances, etc could effect it.
Some users suggested we should give a manager the ability to swap the player’s positions (turn a DM into a MD for instance) so that he could be displayed in the “right” list on formations screen. Well, now it’s possible. A swap position action is available right beside the player position in the player info screen. Give it a try!
I’ve sent him a message asking about it. I could found only one player being sold by a very low price, the other ones are around the estimated value. Let’s hear what he has to say. :-)
Thanks Dave.
Not sure if you’d call it cheating or not… but there is a brand new manager in Fast ticker, England… Fulham… and he is selling top players for very low prices…
We had some downtime a while ago. The problem was with our service provider. Everything seems to be solved now.
cheers
We don’t have any near term plans to improve the number of youths, but I don’t think this change would be hard to implement. The youth skills are generated based on the country performance in the international competitions. A country staying at the top of the ranking for a few seasons tends to generate better youths than the ones in the bottom of the ranking. The second factor to consider is the team division, first division teams get better youths than second division teams.
You’re absolutely right about higher difference when more countries are added. Using our current formula the base difference would be 9 at most if we had 20 countries. Expand that to 50 european plus 10 south american countries and we’d have 29 at most between the best and the worst countries. This gives room for even more countries from other continents. Of course this formula can change in the future if necessary, only time will tell :-)
Cheers!
these bugs are all related to our internationalization plugin. I will take a look on that as soon as I have a chance.
cheers
Moved from “Improvements”. Written by Alban Yazyk.
Will it be possible to have ,ore than 6 youth players at 1 team ?
Do teams in countries with smaller divisions (Portugal, 16 teams) have more chances to get a star player than teams in large divisions ?
I think if you add more countries (if there are 20+), it will be essencial to change youth’s skills to higher difference.
A new global country ranking is now available. The continental rankings will be used to decide how many spots each country will have in the international competitions while the global ranking will be used to slowly change youth players quality. In order to create this global ranking the international score teams receive for wins and draws has been changed in a tentative to balance both continents. On MediumTicker the scores will be kept the same until next season as international competition have already started.
We have two goals with this global ranking:
1) Try to give an overview of your country performance worldwide;
2) Reduce the difference between youth players around the world (the base value for the skills were between 80 and 75, now they will be slowly increased to be between 80 and 77)
This is our first approach to global ranking. I’m pretty sure there are lots of other ways to do that and we’ll be happy to hear your suggestions to improve this in the future.
Cheers!
First of all welcome, Kwegert!
Your consistency suggestion is very interesting. Would it be like a hidden attribute? We have some ideas regarding player morale as well. The second suggestion would also add something to the game, but I’m afraid it will fit better when we have player attributes decreasing with age or resting.
Hope you enjoy the game and stick with us to see it grow. Lots of improvements coming. Thanks for your suggestions!
