The amount paid on a player transfer will always be the transfer price, no matter how much a team have offered to the club on its proposal. The purpose of offering a value higher than the transfer price is to make the team which is selling the player raise the transfer price in order to force other interested teams to raise or drop their proposals.
Hi Rodrigo. First of all you should know that L players (including LC and LR) can play on any left position (L and LC), while C players (C, LC, RC) can play in the 3 central positions (LC, C and RC) and R players (R, RC and LR) play ok in R and RC positions. That said, a player out of position will receive a penalty in all his attributes (keeping, tackle, passing, shooting, control, dribble and speed) during the match. The penalty value depends on how far from his right position he is. For example, a L player playing in the C position will receive a -1 penalty; in the RC position, -2 and in the R position, -3. For central players or multi-sided players, playing out of their positions cost -3, so a C player in the L or R position and a LR player in the C position will both receive a -3 penalty.
A little bit confusing when you put it in words, but I hope it was clear enough :-)
Cheers!
If they told you that it means you’ve got a pretty decent squad or your opponents are not that strong. They won’t fire you if you don’t qualify for Champions League, they will fire you if you consistently have unexpected bad results, and you’ll be warned if your situation is critical.
The expectations surely need some calibration and we will do that. For now don’t worry, you should be ok ;-)
Cheers!
It’s definitely interesting to have RubySoccer fully working on cell phones, Hugo. This is something we can work on as the game becomes more solid.
Thanks for the feedback.
That’s good news, we are everywhere :-)
Hi Rafael,
I’m really sad about this bug, I’ve worked on it a couple months ago and everything seemed to be working fine on my test environment, but I guess it never worked on our real environment. I still need to investigate what is wrong with the logic I’ve added. I agree this is a very annoying bug :-(
Cheers!
We have prizes on our future enhancements list, but as Toni said it must be done very carefully.
The risk of injuries is higher for low stamina players. Maybe it’s not high enough. A “not match fit” sounds good also. We’ll review this subject.
Thanks thorpedo!
I’ve just added a mechanism to translate automatic in-game messages (like proposal rejected, friendly invitation, player sold, etc). Almost all of them are already translated to Portuguese. There are a couple fixes yet to be done. Unfortunately you’ll be receiving message codes in your real email instead of the actual message content in the meanwhile.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Currently not, Danilo just told me a few minutes ago he thinks it should. Kinda make sense, an aggressive player would be like a team playing with hard tackling strategy.
Excellent feedback, looks like option 3 is the way to go. Keep the suggestions guys, I’ll use them as I implement it :-)
Cheers!
Hi Javier,
We haven’t changed anything in the match simulation recently. I guess this was simply a lucky night for most teams who played at home. The results today were more reasonable, except for the number of 0-0 scores. I used to see that in MediumTicker, Brazil. The truth is sometimes it’s too hard to score. Let’s see how headers (which will be added soon) will behave before changing anything.
Cheers!
Teams will now have some discounts when expanding their stadiums with a larger number of seats at once. It will work as follows:
100 seats – 0%
200 seats – 1%
300 seats – 2%
400 seats – 3%
500 seats – 4%
600 seats – 5%
700 seats – 6%
800 seats – 7%
900 seats – 8%
1000 seats – 9%
Just so that you know, I was working towards option 1 (maybe 2), but I now prefer option 3, suggested by one of my co-workers.
The same PC or network negotiation block is back since yesterday. :-)
Let’s talk about new features! I’m currently working on adding staff (physios, coaches and scouts) to RubySoccer. There are lots of ways of doing that and I’d like to hear your opinion about this subject. My suggestions are:
1) ManagerSim-like: every country has a staff market (similar to the player market) where you can find staff to hire. When negotiating with a staff guy you offer a wage and the term of notice (from 12 to 144 turns). The wage is 3-turn based like the players wage. The term of notice is used when you want to fire the guy. If you want to fire him using the term of notice he will leave after the number of turns agreed, if you want to fire him instantly you’ll have to pay him 25% of the wages he would receive if you have used the term of notice. There is no need to renew staff contract, they will be yours until they are fired or retire.
2) Staff market as above but negotiation is around wage and seasons, like what we have for players today. This would require contract renewal when their contract is near the end. Firing them before the contract ends would work the same way firing a player works today.
3) Staff departments: each team would have 3 departments, one for physios, one for coaches and one for scouts. They’d have a rating and cost you money every 3-turns. You could spend some money to improve a department the same way you spend money expanding the stadium.
4) Another suggestion.
How you use each staff or department and what is the limit for how many staff guys or rating you can have are subjects for another topic. For now let’s stick with this first approach.
Cheers!
The explanation for Hannover 96 and Derby County managers was they are cousins. I sent another message to Hannover 96, let’s see what he has to say.
Thanks Stramazi.
@Henrique
Already notified the manager, waiting for a reply. Unfortunately looks like we’ll have to put back the same IP transfer block. Thanks for reporting!
These are the kind of restrictions we are planning to add, Philipp. They make sense.
Cheers!
I totally agree with you Dave, we’ll work on that :-)
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 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!
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!
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!
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.
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.
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!
