I’d like to express somethings as <$0 manager who hasn’t spent $$$$$ on players wages… I am the first to agree with the rule, but I’d like to remember a couple of things before being fired…
A few things happened that changed dramatically the role play of the game:
- The 72 ticks before selling (this one had light implication)
- The 30 player limitation squad
- The friendlies with CPU teams
- Wage limitation (Well, this one I didn’t notice lol)

I agree with them all, and I just kept adapting as game kept going, I liked big squads, with medium/long plan perspective of unused player sales after improvements, I like 3 squads playing all the time to produce statistics of it, players, formations, results, anything measurable… Excel is almost my best friend!

Implementing this new rules without warning made in my team the following consequences:
- Unable to sell players, like any players, and not because of the 72 ticks! BECAUSE no one buys medium players anymore due to the 30 player limitation squad!
- Almost out of friendlies in one season, this meant around less 2.5M$ of income in one season…
- I got bankrupt
I never complained about it and I am adapting and recovering because I agree with these rules (all of them) but I didn’t like the way it was implemented… i got stuck because of it and some of my game tactics/strategy would be different.

Anyways… If this <$0 rule will be implemented soon I’d like to know and I’d like to propose that those who got negative be able to recover, at least able to propose recovery plans. I expect to be positive in the end of the next two seasons (which means I will be negative again in the gap between league games) and then, finally, restart positive! I don’t need players and I am reducing the squad to 22 players, below 200K wage total.

I also have my own alternative plan, two friends of mine are willing to loan, or perhaps if I ask, they even give me the $ amount of my debt as it represents 3% (for both) of what they have now! This needs admin execution and obviously (approval)! Ah, they are very known lol and so stuck with high wages lol problematic bank accounts indeed…

So, I agree that -$0 managing is to be forbidden, as long as measures are known (I believe this ones implemented were not meant for my game play and I was in the middle)… If I am a single case than it is easy, just kick me, but if others got in difficulties because of these new rules, even if because they were caught in reason, they should have an opportunity to return.

Administration can query the database and, I suppose easily, check teams by bank account. Two answers would be useful, how many teams have more than 12M and how many teams are negative.
A total income per season from non player sales represents around 10M (home games in full schedule with half home and merchandise). And total expenses from wages for an average team would be 100K/3 Ticks (for a very very very average team), this means around 5M. Balance would be around 5M/Season for an average team with great results.
In 3 seasons, and assuming a normal team would have to spend 3M acquiring players, any team above 12M probably (very very probably) earned money selling players… Check how many… And how much $ is involved…

Cheers…

Added pagination to national and international cups, this way you can see previous seasons results.

Cheers.

I just won the national cup and got a congratulations message from the board dated in the future!

Match played: turn 52
Current Turn: turn 55
Date of message: turn 58

As you’d expect, the message stays at the top of the inbox as new messages come in.

Still, it’s nice to know they will congratulate me sometime tomorrow morning! I’ll get started on my speech.

Don’t worry, he’ll ask for a contract soon, I’ve just checked. It may take up to 2 seasons for youth players to ask for a contract.

Hi everybody!

I don’t know if it’s a bug, but there is a youth player that has been with me since the beginning of the game while all his colleagues have grown up long time ago.

Is it a bug or this player has found the elixir of life?? :)

Cheers!!

Related to this topic:

I also love Stats,
I am not sure if you guys are working on some thing like this or not but here is goes,

Individual awards for Players:
Uefa, Champions, Libertadores, and Sudamericana player of the Year.

Also something like “World Player of the Year” where a single player is selected among a list of players that did good in the season, taking into account average performance in league games and if the team participated in International competitions as well, and Goals will be factored in as well, the amount of goals in leagues and International competitions

Also it will be cool if there is a “Team of the Year” where only 11 Players will be selected to represent the Best of the Best of the Year. It can be structured as a 4-4-2 the best 4 defenders, the best 4 midfielders and the best 2 forwards. (According to either voting like in real UEFA voting where every Manager gets 6 points to vote for the best players in a list of about 30 players from all the Nations and gives 3 points to the 1st pick, 2 points to the second pick and 1 point to the last pick, but a Manager can not vote for one of his own players. this way is we do not have National teams yet at least we can point out the best players of the Game.

Just a wild idea!!

The new server turned out to be horrible. The speed was awesome – when the server was not freezing because of the unstable network provided.

We decided to move back to the old one. Eventually we may try to migrate again, but for now sorry for the inconvenience.

cheers!

He’s been inactive since december 18th, so by the current logic he will be fired when he is inactive for one month. I know one month is too much time, we’re just waiting for the holiday mode to be implemented so we can reduce that to something like one week.

Cheers.

Previous seasons is in our plans for all cups. The hall of fame ideia is nice, to start with that we will create a history record for when a team is knocked out of a cup before the final match.

Cheers.
