^ i like that idea sly, lol transfer rumors in newspaper lol along maybe
with occasional playerx story about how he wants to leave his club.
Don’t forget it also printed ‘rumours’ from teams negociating for players. This was a good way to see if a team buying a player you perhaps missed on the TL yourself.
Some great ideas here, im going off topic and saying bring newspaper back to a good level, i used to love hearing managers opinions on opponents etc in the random interviews that it sent out.
Well you can put in all kinds of reasons and the player go’s through them picking 1. The result however is the same… he’s unhappy and doesn’t want to renew. The reason for it is not that relevant. But I guess for us managers to make it funny, the player could come up with some kind of reason as a laugh :).
player bonuses ect even
ofcourse this is if the player is completely unhappy and requests transfer or refuses contract renewal. but inorder to have such things player moral should be in store
-Homesick
_doesnt get along with : playerx
_does not like you ( manager)
_ not enough games
_has higher ambitions
_family problems
the list can go on each one could have a set degree of severity so the manager can improve that players moral but for some nothing can be done
ideas
have a future contract negotiations be available for any manager for players that are unhappy and shopping the idea of leaving during a transfer window
the board will either agree with the offer or not. the manager sets the price if told the player does not want to stay, so the manager can still make money.
if the manager refuses to sell then the player will not renew a contract and will go to free agency this is my 2 cents
You just reminded me of something interesting Managersim had. In there old players actually had that, that at the end of their career they wanted to return to there home country.
I like all the idea’s actually. Anything to spice things up a little can make it interesting if you ask me
i like the idea of players not willing to renew their contracts. Yes you will hate your superstar to leave but you loose some gain some. It will definitely bring some activity to the transfer market making the game more realistic and playable. All shouldn’t be random though.
Why players ask for transfer or do not renew their contracts?
1-Willing to play for a better team in a better competition.
You have a star player but your team is mediocre or playing in a low ranked country/league- less chance of contract renewal.
2- Not getting enough playing time.
Your team is full of stars. Player is good but cant make the first XI he wants to play-less chance of contract renewal.
3-Player is home sick just wants to return home and play for a team in his home country- random factor
4-Player wants an early retirement willing to play in lower ranked team / league as long as the pay is good- random factor
etc..
all these can be somehow implemented maybe to make things more interesting
just my two cents
The game can work just fine if we have people wanting to sell and people wanting to buy… If I dont want to sell a player I shouldn’t have to, unless of course that player is unhappy and wants to leave (that will eventually be improved) but it shouldnt have to be the need that some “dealer CPU” makes the deal for me. Your suggestion brings the game more to some lonely mode where you deal with your team and away from the multiplayer aspect of this games.
If there are no players for sale we should understand why people are not selling them, and giving them incentives to sell those players. This last changes helped with that, I hope they can prove enough, but it is too early to be sure of that. From what I’ve seen with MT’s Ajax the money conversion to Board points seems like a good incentive, now I think we need to give incentive to people to want those points, getting phisio and scouting more important will contribute to that, and it seems Gabriel is now working on that too…
Cheers
Hello Boys,
Lokk selling a got players for Brazil.
Greats.
I can see were you are going with this and it looks good, however i believe it can be alot simpler without managers losing alot of great players.
Add the big club clause, some young players and great players should insist on this if joining a normal team, even a buy out clause say of ten million etc could be thrown in.
Buy off computer managed teams, obviously they won’t accept every bid but it would be nice to offer a good value for any player in computer managed teams. They can accept or reject as they see fit.
These two changes would definitely spice things up a little.
Ok, all changes in life are natural, even those not sold (accepted) as such.
What we can all do is learn and try to do /get better.
The new economy changes are GREAT, period.
What this has resulted in though and that is more of our ways of being people than anything the new model has to do with, is that people won’t sell better players, just because they think they can not find a good replacement because people won’t sell those players. Kind of “catch 22”, right?
So, in order to make it exciting and fair, I think the implementation for functionality to bid/get any player should be considered. Specially if not many are willing to sell their stars.
So this is my user story:
“As a manager in a club who can afford the best players the game has to offer, I should be able to buy any player I (the club) can afford acquiring.”
The WHY: because you can not do this naturally and also it’s more realistic.
The HOW:
A new department in the INVESTMENTS where you can allocate points for player BIDS/Protection.
That is not enough. For managers who want to protect their players, they should be able to protect few but not all.
For managers who will try to win a “bidding right” for certain player, there could be functionality allowing this.
So if we two new investment areas:
a) player protection (or call it player infrastructure / team management etc)
b) player PR services (or something else)
Manager would invest points in these areas, enabling bigger chance to sign a star and / or protect own stars.
There could be a random factor as well, that in game logic could be “the player choosing to stay” – but that percentage should be low (maybe maximum 20%).
Another thing the game engine should consider is “what is a BIG CLUB”, should we have such a thing?
Or any club with having enough money should be able to get any player?
Those are some starting points. More to come if anyone is interested.

No buyers for a 20yr old 84 tackling?
Edit: sold!
from tick 1 to 12, the game won’t allow any transfers.
I’ve Transfer Budget level 4 ($91,320,000) but when I try to buy a player I can’t offer none, it says me “(money available: $0)”. what’s wrong? thanks
Prepare your Investments careful, you may need some Board’s help to get one of the Ajax players now on transfer list, check them out:

i don’t vaughn. mostly, i can’t understand the the option for a 68 keeping goalie in a CL game! this manager would be fired everywhere if, because of that, his team lost 11-0.
I kinda agree that it might be better to get some kind of penalty or -board. However, i can understand why people do it (do/did it myself to).
100% agree with Filipe.
Reminds me of what happened last season in group D of the CL. Ajax was 3 points and 7 goals up before the last round, then this happened:
Dinamo Zagreb 1 – 7 Olympique Lyon
Ajax 0 – 3 Real Madrid
Real Madrid 6 6 0 0 19 2 +17 18
Lyon 6 2 2 2 9 7 +2 8
Ajax 6 2 2 2 6 6 0 8
Dinamo Zagreb 6 0 0 6 3 22 −19 0
Yes Berhan. And cool!
I’m ok adding the new column, it’s not something hidden or anything, just helping with the math for those who like average stats.
Are you sure?
Is that a guess or that is truly so?

Very unfair to you, you had a much better goal difference and still managed to strike 2 against the group winner.
We can’t do much to prevent this from happening, Benfica had no interest in the match and had a cup final very near. I’m pretty sure if he used just the main keeper and the same field players he would lost by 3 or 4, you would pass the group and he’d still have the players ok for the cup final…
Maybe a really high penalty performance in this kind of competitions would be in order, this teams have no problems with board performance but still, would make them think better if a result like this made the board remove 30% the performance…
Another suggestion would be to when morale gets implemented, results like this should have effect on all the team players morale… With demotivated players for the cup final in mind, Benfica could have another aproach in this match…

A positive correlation with player quality.
