The prize based on expectations would be nice, but where would that money come from? I mean, when you win a competition the entity responsible for the competition would give you the prize, but if you ended the league in 10th when the board expected 16th who would pay for it? You could say sponsors…well it’s possible, not sure if they should give you more than the sponsorship value paid every 3 turns though ;-)

Cheers!

Dave: players with multiple positios are in on our plans :-)

Torres: Maybe the solution is not generate players like Stefano Sferrella, I mean, an attacker wouldn’t have shooting almost 20 points lower than his passing or tackle, it could be like 3 points lower at most when the player reaches his maximum potential…the only disadvantage I see on this situation is that you would know in advance how much the main attribute would increase in some situations, like if we had already this rule you would know that Stefano would reach at least 78 in shooting…

Another possible solution is never let the main attribute for the player position be lower than the main attribute for the other positions or even train the player to play in other position when we have added coaches to the game.

Cheers!

Hi Gabriel!

The problem with Hector is already solved. But now I have another problem…

I receive the same message when I try to put on the loan list one of my youth goalkeepers.

Cheers!

Maybe the prize money must be connected on the board’s exspectations. When you reach these exspectations you gain a certain amount of prize money. Then smaller teams also have the chance to gain prize money.
I think this is possible now the time of the multi-millionaire teams is gone.

Besides this there can also be prize money for winning the league, CL , Uefa cup, national cup, etc.

Cheers

Hi guys!

I agree with your idea, but what happens with players like Stefano Sferrella? He is A L, tackle 55 passing 81 shooting 63. Would he be penalised for playing as midfilder? I think is quite obvious he should play as midfilder.

In my opinion we need to do something to prevent people playing with a totally unrealistic 10 forwards team, but we have to keep in mind this kind of exceptions.

The problem is that I don’t know how we can do it :-)

Cheers and thanks for trying to improve the game every day!

I’d expect severe penalties for playing a player out of position. (A as a M… etc.)
Even worse penalty than playing him on the wrong side. (L on R)

I’d also like to see “DA”, “DM”, “MA” for players capable of playing more than one position.

Meanwhile… playing players out of position should still be penalized.

Agreed Ricardo, that’s on our plans and should be done soon.

On bankrupcy the manager should be fired, the board should release the high waged players and inject money on the club, something like 2M, the minimum to allow someone else to be able to manage the team.

Cheers.

I’ve just analyzed the problem and realized it would be an “expensive” operation to determine the international competitions spots on previous seasons. Maybe fornow we should just hide this information when displaying previous leagues, don’t know.

Cheers.

I think a youth can always be hired by the team, no matter how much money the team have. You’re right about free players, you can’t hire them if you are low on money or negative. I like your ideia to allow free players to be hired with a low limited wage in all cases.

Glad to hear that the economy seems more regulated now, we’ll do our best to keep it this way :-)

Cheers!

For what I know a bankrupt team or a team with no money reserves, is blocked by the board, and will have a maximum wage zero. If this is the case, then is wrong.

Simple points:
If one of these teams receives a special youth, the special player can not be hired and can not be sold!!! He will be in youths until lost for the market (for free, no income to the bankrupt).
It is not possible to hire free players for low wages but if the squad is too small the board will auto renew players with higher wages (no matter how high).
These teams still can loan players with high wages!

I’m not able to test all conditions, but if the conditions are possible then I think you should consider my conclusions.

Teams should always have ways to get free players and juniors with small wages, I think you should set a minimum wage too, like 3, 4 or 5 Ks, and unlimit wages for the team youths. They need to hire new and cheaper players to release the expensive ones too.

The overall economy seems quite good and regulated, everyone needs to take care of their bank account now :) high wages are droping.

Cheers

New source of income: sponsorship. The amount of money received from sponsors every 3 turns is defined based on the team’s recent performance. As the performance history started being recorded when the manager ranking was added it is not complete yet, which means that the sponsor value will be lower than it should for now, specially on MediumTicker. The stadium size will limit the amount of money received from sponsors, but it will probably only affect teams with a great performance.

Cheers!

You’re right JD, we are already aware of this bug, apparently it happens only when you’re creating or deleting a strategy for a formation other than the Default one. We’ll check it out.

Cheers!

Hi,

This is not a “serious” bug but rather an annoying one. Every time you create/delete a strategie, the stratagies list on the right side desapears and a page refresh is needed.

Thanks for your understanding. I know that is tuff to reply to all posts :p.

I am sure that you are doing almost everything to take rubby into a balanced game.
An our misson is to give you feedback… but sometimes, since we are playing the game for a while, I almost forget that this is a beta game and I am expecting not so drastically changes :p.

keep the good work.

Cheers.

You’re not the only one in this situation Ricardo, I’m facing the same problem on FastTicker. I agree that millionaire teams are something from the past, we’ll finally be able to add other sources of income to the game.

Cheers!

The stadium reduction was a good ideia. But something is not working quite well… My team, during the league, was always in the top 5, my players wages are normal and my finance is going critical and last season I went to champions league semi-final and won the league cup.

I would say that most of the teams that are not going critical, is because they had plenty of money before the stadium reduction.
Instead of getting a big bank account, I invested on good players , therefore looking for more incoming.
I only had 2millions after the reduction… of course bankrupt will be my destiny. Theres is no way to make more incoming, since my base incoming was the stadium.

Yes I have one or two players that have medium wages… but how am I suposed to think of winning with the bad players I had? Ohh, that’s right… I am in the portuguese league.

I know that I am not the best manager arround here and that there are a lot better managers (I am not beeing ironic.) but I was making my own way.

I am not angry with anything nor anybody, only sad for my team.

Maybe I am the only manager with this problem. Suggestions are wellcome.

I have a feeling that millionaire teams are something from he past… I don’t have half the money I used to have, and the transfer market is frozen, so finances are likely to decrease even more :)

Hi guys

Same problem for me on medium ticker. I have 22 players on my squad plus 4 players loaned out. When I try to transfer list my goalkeeper Hector Fernandez, I receive the same message.

Cheers!

There is a minor bug with international competitions league positions, the league positions aren’t associated with with the season ranking but with the actual ranking.
For example my team in season 2 reached the 7th place and is indicated (in season 2) for UEFA cup, at the time only 6 teams had that access. That information is incorrect and there must be other with no UEFA cup indication that did participate in the competition…

Cheers…

Sponsorship and tv rights are definitely in our plans, not sure about prizes, but probably yes. We’ve been postponing new sources of money in the game due to some milionare teams, but we need to analyze the situation again and do some work in the economy side.

Cheers!

there should be prize money awarded to teams that finish 1st 2nd 3rd, etc in their league and also any success in the international cups should also be rewarded with prize money. at the moment there is nothing like that and it would be more realistic and more fun and more competitive if somethng like that would happen. furthermore, money for television rights and so forth is also another idea. sponsors, etc. please let me know and what u thing people…….everyone should give their idea and opinion because it should be discussed.
