Yes, that was with one home game. Two weeks before that: Tickets $1,297,855 (two home games I guess).

And a ranking graph or something like that would be a nice feature, yes :)

Happened to me to, for example a 33yr old who asks to double his salary.

But I guess it’s a good change, so that we have to be more careful with spending money.

2. Crazy Wage Requirements (Bug?)

In the announcements Gabriel said “Lots of teams have money to spare…players might as well get their cut! Don’t be surprised if players start to ask for more money when you negotiate contracts, it’s only fair they get a raise due to inflation.”

Though 34k is a lot… but you can always try to offer less.

I don’t remember where he played in the past, but in recent years he playes MC +1, which seems a perfect place for him.

With full skills he was a sucky player, he only started playing well while he was losing skills! I have no idea why he is so good though, I can only guess.

Urbain Sutter
Estimated Value: $12,657,831
Avg stats: 86

Doesn’t look like a great player, does he? But he is! Look at his averages:

Season 68: 5.46
Season 69: 5.3
Season 70: 7.54
Season 71: 7.53
Season 72: 8.73
Season 73: 8.81
Season 74: 8.81
Season 75: 8.64

And in the last four seasons he scored 102 goals in 102 games, as a midfielder…

I have no clue why he plays that well, but I’m happy to have him in my squad!

2. The Dutch "Monster"

Holland is doing well. 10 Managers in the Eredivisie, all of them in the top 100 of the managers ranking. In the country ranking Netherlands is fifth, probably the highest ever.

Interesting is that last season the top 5 teams scored 623 goals! Are the computer teams that weak?

The last four seasons PSV won the title, but the competion is getting tougher…

But the userinfo of all the spammers says ‘User since October 26, 2011’ (see http://www.rubysoccer.com/user_info/4248 for example)
Is that a bug or is the account really almost a year old?

Does a cup final (on neutral ground) count as a away or a home game? As in, skills penalties or not?

2. Strange Result - 6x0 in CL ?!?

There is a random factor in the game. This means 6-0 is a possible outcome of a match, especially when one side has one man more on the field.

2. Strange Result - 6x0 in CL ?!?

Did you calculate the averages including the penalty for players under 30 years?

Apart from that, off days happen, and a red card doesn’t help the chances of your team.

Finally The Netherlands managed to surpass France in the rankings. To be fair, the main reason is France doing badly, but still, 6th place is good for a small country.

2. Round Robin Pairings

I actually posted this before I saw the pairings for the CL in midticker, but it’s a good example of what should be avoided if possible (and it is possible)
:

62 GAIS x AZ Champions League
68 Orduspor x AZ Champions League
74 Angers x AZ Champions League
80 AZ x GAIS Champions League
86 AZ x Orduspor Champions League
92 AZ x Angers Champions League

2. Round Robin Pairings

I noticed you can have three away (or three home) games in a row in the CL/EL etc. I think it’s better not to have that. I suggest the following pairings:

Rd 1: 1-4, 2-3
Rd 2: 4-3, 1-2
Rd 3: 2-4, 3-1
Rd 4: 4-2, 1-3
Rd 5: 3-4, 2-1
Rd 6: 4-1, 3-2

I’ve seen it happen before. But I think the 36 turn limit is to make cheating more difficult, and so only for humans.

2. Playing player in wrong position?

Yes, but the penalty is for all skills (so speed 90 will be 89 for the game etc).
