It’s now possible to colorize the players attributes in the team players screen. This feature makes it easier to identify higher attributes and gives you a graphical ideia of your team quality.

Cheers!

Fixed the problem and removed the transfer price from your renewal proposal. Thanks for reporting!

Hi,

It already hapened once, and i think it’s just to hapen again…

When you renew contract with a player that is transfer listed, you have on the screen of the negotiations the amount you ask for him. I’ve already payed 1 Million for renewing contract with a player that was already mine, and now i was trying to renew wiht a GK, wich was for sale for 3,5 Million, and now there it is the price for him…

Can you check this out? I hope i was clear enough…

Hugo, for situations like that, here is what you can do using event based strategies (when a red card occurs):

1. create one that will apply when a particular attacker receives a redcard. in this case, you would move somebody that was in another position to take his position. you can perform a substitution at the same time you do that.
2. create one that will apply when any attacker receives a redcard. if you do that, you have to analyze the combinations of possible situations. if, for example, Attacker1 receives a redcard and you try to take out a defender to put an attacker in the same place as Attacker2 (which didnt get a redcard and, therefore, it is still in the field), nothing will happen.

Hope that helps.
Cheers

I started using formation strategies and noticed that replacement by injury explicitly goes to the same place where the injured player was, GREAT! What about red cards? I want to replace an attacker for my red carded goalie, defender or midfielder by another goalie, defender or midfielder in the same position the red carded player was. But this is not explicit and I am afraid (very afraid) the player will go to an AI setup option!
Is it possible to have options for this? Like Red Carded Attacker, Defender, Midfielder, Goalkeeper just as the injured (if the AI setup option applys)…
Also I think it would be good to have some generic options, like less skilled or less valuable or slower player. Imagine selecting one of this generic options combined with other features, my idea is in case of a red card replace the less skilled attacker on mentality 0 by the best goalie, defender or midfielder to where the red carded player was! And not forcing an exact position (or zone or mentality) like the A LC 0 (my option)…

Cheers

You assumed right, managers ranking is based on team results without bonus per competition type. I’m pretty sure you’re not the only one who would like to have this kind of bonus. We’ll discuss that and see how that would affect our ranking based features. Shouldn’t be a big deal.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Cheers!

I don’t know exacty how it is counting, but assuming it is by team results, manager points should take a bonus by the type of competition, like Champions League x1.3, second division x0.7, first division x1, etc…
And stadium improvement should count for manager points, it is a manager option (investment) and the result stays in the club (number of seats), with a considerable effort ($).

Cheers

well… it keeps the formation… but ti still completely messes up the setup.

here, it kept my 433 formation, but totally destroys how I deploy it.

http://www.rubysoccer.com/game/match_report/97776

compare that replay to the replay of the preceeding league game I played, and you’ll see the difference.

Yeah, that will be nice :-)

We have some sort of ingame forums planned or maybe a direct link to a forum here (this one would be easier). We’ll see.

Cheers!

Should be fixed, next time a competition ends (except for leagues) the history entry will be created.

We are aware of that problem Hugo, currently we only create these kinds of events at the end of the season, that’s why you’re seeing the wrong information. It shouldn’t be hard to create the event when the competition ends, specially for national cup and international cups. Thanks for reporting, even though we have that on our list it’s good to be reminded of some bugs so we can raise their priorities ;-)

Cheers!

I was using internet explorer 7 today and had a very depressive experience with the formations screen. Which was a surprise, since 50% of our visitors have this browser.

Internet explorer is, by far, the worse of the big browsers out there, at least from the javascript engine perspective. Firefox and Safari are both pretty good and stable options, for example. I highly recommend everybody to try one of those browsers and check out the huge performance blast you will get there.

That depressive experience and Lee Hamo, who have reminded me of the lack of intuitiveness of our strategies screen, may have changed my future dev plans for RS. I am thinking about the possibility to spend some time on our formations/strategy screens, and finally get rid of most of our problems there.

Lets see what happens.
cheers!

The entitled manager is not associated at the winning time. Check the cup final:
http://www.rubysoccer.com/game/match_report/88974
Manager: Rodrigo Mascarenhas
The winner is the manager of the last game of the competition (like the cup final, the last league match), not the manager at the end of the season.

+3 for all home team players’ attributes. We’ve made some tests before adding it to the game and away teams were able to win. Also it has been applied for a while now, season 7 on FastTicker was entirely played with this bonus and there were lots of away victories. We’ll keep an eye on it anyway, just to make sure the results are not unrealistic as you mentioned :-)

Better luck on your next away matches ;-)

Cheers!

What kind of bonus Gabriel? Because I haven’t won any away game so far. Maybe the bonus is too big… I think not being able to win any away game is a bit unrealistic.

Hi!

I remember I read somewhere that for the moment there wasn’t any difference for playing home or away.

Is it still the same?

Cheers!

Using this screen you can schedule conditional substitutions and/or field position changes during the match. That is what we call strategy. Here is how this works:

- There are 2 types of conditional strategies: time based and event based
- Time based strategies may occur any time after the minute you have scheduled, but you can also ask it to only apply if a certain game result is happening (you are ahead, not ahead, tied, behind or not behind)
- Event based strategies will apply if the specified match event occurs (example: an attacker receives a redcard, a midfielder is injured, etc)
- When a strategy is applied, there are 2 possible changes that you can apply simultaneously or individually: substitutions and field position changes
- The “position to apply (from)” determines which field position will be affected by the strategy. If by the time the strategy applies no one is on that position, nothing happens
- The “field reassign (to)” determines the field position to where the player that was in the “from” position will be moved when this strategy is applied. If you only select N/A´s there, there will be no position change for this strategy
- The “Player substitute” determines who will be replacing the affected player (if this is a substitution rule). This can be generic, like “The best attacker” or very specific, like “Ronaldinho”

Is that good enough? If you have any questions please let me know.

I did not have space on the screen to design this functionality exactly in the way I wanted, but I am planning to add more manager possibilities and, when I decide to do that, I will also give this area a “face lift”. I hope I can make it more intuitive by then.

cheers!
