Thanks for your reply, Gabriel, and for the openness that you and Daniel always show to discuss the logic behind the game :)
Following my previous post, it’s no surprise that I’m going to pick possibility 3), because IMHO it’s the most fair – or the least penalizing for the ones who had bad luck on their player’s sides.
it was just the formation and tactics page, everything is working fine now, thanks for your very fast replys and fix.
i have set everybody that didnt have a language (that was your case) to english now. please logout/login and let us know if the situation is resolved.
cheers
Is that happening in the formation and tactics page only spartacus55? Have you tried changing your language and then setting it back to English?
You’re right about sides being randomly assigned Carlos. All players always had the side attribute, it was hidden before. The only change I’ve made for newly generated players is increasing the odds of a player being C side over L or R, as C players play ok in 3 different positions (LC, C and RC) while L and R play ok in 2 different positions (L and LC or R and RC).
Anyway, I see a few possibilities here, let’s see what the majority prefers:
1) Let things the way they are
2) Postpone the influence of the sides in the match for one more season
3) Try to balance the sides per zone for all teams (not considering players quality)
4) Simply regenerate all sides with the new generation odds I’ve mentioned
What do you say guys?
About the improvement related to player’s positions/sides… I’d like to express my opinion, and expose my situation too.
Looking at my squad, I see the following distribution:
13 L players
5 C
3 R
Making things worse, especially concerning defense and midfield, my first squad looks like this:
4 defenders, all of them L
4 midfielders (3 L + 1 C)
2 forwards (1 L + 1 R, nothing to worry about here)
This means that I have half season to rebuild almost entirely my squad… I suppose sides were randomly assigned for all the players on the database, but that’s a solution which leads to unfair situations – some managers have well balanced squads, while others will have to sell 1/2 of their squad and replace it.
My opinion is that all teams should have their player’s sides assigned in some way which would assure that every squad has the same balance between right, left and centre players. The way things are right now – and I repeat that I’m assuming that it is 100% random – means that pure luck decides who will have to spend several millions and who won’t have to change a thing, because until today everybody signed players without guessing that one season (or less) later they could be useless.
Thanks for reading such a long post (for one minute I thought I was Celso :D).
on the formation and tactics page the language is showing up as portugese even though my settings are set to english.
that was happening due to a last minute change on “to all formations” validation strategies… fixed! thanks for reporting, alexandre!
cheers
I was wondering whether or not we should add LR, LC, RC and LCR players, sounds ok to add them so far, let’s see :-)
About balancing home and away matches, we have that on our list, need to find a good way to do that.
Cheers!
manuel, if you’re talking about the side thing, it will have effect only on next season
Alexandre, it would help if you could show us the image, send us the link when you have it please.
Cheers!
For example, i used to put my best defender in the center, and now he is left, the other is right, the other bad player is Center
So, what i do? I had a good team, now….i have nathing
Why you didnt wait for the next season?
I dont agree, But ok, this is a free game
Good improvement
For the others, because my team runed very good before this
Tomorrow, i will try to understand, but for now,,,,maybe good for the others
guys when i go to the new screen, formation strategies, when i try to create a new strategy (pressing create) the screen gets really strange and i cant get the strategie implemented! if you need a screen to see what im talking about just tell me ill imageshack it
could there be players with LR and LCR, all around players? i think it would be nice to find players that could play many positions!
cheers
i think that now that you will launch the away home advantage feature, you should create a more intelligent planned fixtures.
one game away, one game home, one game away one game home… perhaps sometimes 2 games home or 2 games away but merely as an exception!
cheers
Translations are back. You can set your language on the user settings link.
Player sides are back to the UI, but won’t affect the player performance until next season on both dimensions. Players will receive penalty if they play in the wrong side. A player with side L can play ok in positions L and LC, but will receive penalties if playing on positions C, RC or R, being R the worst penalty. Same happens to R players, they play ok in R and RC positions only. For C players, they can play ok on positions LC, C and RC, but will receive a considerable penalty if playing on L or R positions. Be prepared!
p.s.: home team advantage is also ready to be launched, but we’ll wait until next season so those who have most of their home matches yet to be played won’t have an advantage in the current season
ok, back to feedbacks… :)
If you can’t get the keeper back , just make a new team and the keeper is available to set ;)
Edit : forget it , it is back :)
The keepers should be back, let us know if you have any problems :-)
Cheers!
Something must have gone wrong after the latest changes in the strategies stuff. I’ll try to figure it out.
Same here with me…
ME TOO
WHERE MY GK?
Yeap. I am having this problem also.
Cool, thought i was the only one. :)
I can´t assign a keeper to my formation. Or is he there but just not visible? Can you take a look?
(sorry if this has been discussed somewhere else, I´ve been quite busy lately and have not had time to read the forums or play the game much)
It is important to notice that the new strategies are always applied on a position of the field (for events, if you leave the “from” fields empty the game will assume that you want to apply the strategy to the “victim” of the event). During the match, the game engine will try to fetch the player that is on the position you pointed in your strategy. If no player is found, the strategy is skipped. In future, I plan to add a “validation” button on the tab, just to tip the managers about what strategies are probably useless (will not find any player during the match and will be skipped).
Well , lets hear your feedback :)
cheers
Empowered managers with the new strategies tab (on formation screen). This feature adds A LOT of flexibility to your tactics, with conditioned (time-&-OR-result/event) dynamic changes. These include position and player substitutions. Please note that this is the initial design for that screen, a kick off for your evaluation and feedback. In other words, I am planning to add improvements and other formation stuff very soon.
It is never too much to repeat that your feedback is very important at this point.
I am sure you will have a good surprise very soon. Also, we have fixed a very important bug recently, which we think will really improve the match stats.
cheers!
Yes it happens, but not so often as stated here, needs a fix, but nothing extraordinary, take a look at the “war” in the English Premier League.
I already took the cup, but the league is being awesome. Depends how one can play the game, in here we have 3 managers playing at the top of their game, taka a look at Bolton, they don´t have at 1st sight the squad to challenge for the top, but they are there, actually, they have beaten me, I have beaten Reading, Reading beated them, it´s insane.
The game engine needs a few “tweaks”, no doubt, like 83-0 results, but the super goalie is not the most important, I would vote for 1st change, the away/home factor, that would be very important, it´s inexistent at the moment.
