wow, no replies?!

Once upon a time you use to care, guys!!

acse, moaning about results won’t get you anywhere. I doubt being paranoid about complaining leads to worse results will get you anywhere, maybe in the IT Security business but this is a wrong forum to post a job interest into that position.
Besides, if that was true, Davison would not win a single game. :)

This is a game we wish to enjoy many years to come, still there is some things we all have to contribute with, like bug reports, suggestions, helping newbies and so on. If you feel you have contributed but have received no attention/credit/response etc then it’s unfortunate.

Most of you guys have no idea what is to run such a project (besides having a normal life, wife, job, kids, etc) on your spare time. I know because I’ve been there, and I think I have something of value to offer to this community for free. Not all like what I have to say and I can accept that but you still need to think about what it is you want/request/look for in terms of game features & functionality before you decide that something is broken or not working as it is meant to. Are you being unrealistic? There are some things that need much attention but I am sure Danilo and Gabriel are aware of that and will take care.

For all who remember, back in the ManagerSim days, there were many issues with people complaining about results, economy suffering inflation, cheating, and so on. There is a very tricky thing to build the perfect economy in a MMOG, may have tried and failed. This is no different here.
I was searching the web for others who have tried and failed and run into an article:
http://skycandy.org/2011/04/inflation-the-long-death-of-mmos/
Interesting reading in my opinion. If YOU have the perfect solution I am sure you can sell it to the MMORG running companies for lots of money, really.
Until then we have to tweak and test.

acse, I wish you would reconsider and stay, we all have a part to play in this.

i was considering that possibility. initially, thought that it would be a bad idea. i will do it, though. it is better than the alternative.

is there a way to either delay or move up the tick since they are 1 tick behind the regular schedule?

Sorry guys, FastTicker tick got stuck and we won’t be able to fix it at least for a couple hours.

Cheers

The invalid match has been deleted, and now you’re not supposed to be able to accept friendlies in the past…

Nope, it isn’t. But the player development model will change soon. Stay tuned.

- Improved the alignment of screens that show player lists
- Renamed section “Stadium” to “Investments” – i will add more things there
- Removed twitter authentication. It was not working
- Fixed the newspaper (and this is now on my queue of things to improve)
- Numerous other things which u can’t see, but will help us improving/measuring the youth evolution system
- Ruby upgrade to 1.9.3. Gems upgrade to their latest compatible versions (you can’t see this one too). Both are intended as a preparation to a fuure move to Rails 3.2 (we are currently on Rails 3.0.9)
- New functionalities will be marked with a special “New” icon – which will automatically go away 2 months after the functionality was added (see example on the manager info page: “Ranks and Achievements”)

Mostly, this is to show you guys that I am back to active development.

Valencia FastTick.

I have a young goalkeeper named Özgür Alpaslan. He is from Turkey. I’ve got him out of free transfers near the end of last season. He played ~5 friendlies then plus another 25 friendlies this season! My coaching level has been at 10 this whole time, and I am pretty sure he hasn’t improved in any skill so far!

Is this a bug?

Due to lack of time I cant get my fixtures full so if someone wants to squedule some friendly matches please use my team and squedule for all the season and I’ll accept them when I’m online.

If you want to do that please say it here first so no one else invites my team and then I would have to reject one of the teams.

Cheers

I’m going to stop playing this game,not beacause the game himself,but beacause some people doen’t no what is a online game,first i criticised some times some things about this game and since then my teams in 90% of the games lose no metter my team value,second there’s one basic rool in online games,the teams whithout coach can have the same conditions(money and training)that teams whit coach beacause if that happens there’s no motivation for the ones that arrive and third the times whitout no coach must play allways whit the some tactits beacause if they don´t you are benefecting some teams and others not and don´t say to me that i don´t win games beacause i don´t have a good tactic,that´s not thrue and you can see my tactics(4-3-3 and 4-2-2),to finish i whish the best for all of you and my appologgies if my english is not to good.

Charles (and anyone interested in hearing) , by the manager/player/club interaction I mean, what a player/manager/club can or can’t expect, do, act upon, when it comes to:
- player development (player/manager interaction)
- transfers (manager/club interaction)
- loyalty and preferred career moves (player/club interaction)

Those areas need to be worked upon so you can have a more balanced structure in the game.

PS. I am not OK with whatever everyone says, as someone clearly needs to tell people what is good and what is bad, I will deliver you the ugly truth, brutally, every time for as long as it’s needed or at least as long as I stick around.

I had something like that too. It was fixed after I posted about it, probably they will this time too when they see it.

Actually, a contract is a contract, no matter if is loan or purchase. You knew the player was on loan, it’s just one more parameter to consider when buying that you may not get your player back before the loan time is completed. You (in your head) thought that you would get that player back (based on what exactly I do not know!) then when you did not, you chose to moan about it and waste time and energy on nonsense?!

This is exactly the type of things I am warning you guys on stop spending time or request attention for. It is no good for anything. Sure, it’s cool to help a newbie about this but to manually go in and solve this (non) problem is really unnecessary. It really is not hard to find out that the player you are buying is on loan or not.

Frenchi, man up and accept the fact you made a poor judgement when buying that keeper while on loan, accept it and and move on.

Feature and functionality-wise this is perfect, no need for this to change at all.
Gah, come on boys, this is getting ridiculous.

I manage Valencia on the FastTick. I had invited team Trabzonspor for a friendly on turn 32 (my invitation was during turn 31 if i remember correctly). However, the turn passed by without the other manager accepting the friendly. After a few turns he accepted this friendly!! (the match is not happening anyway, unless we could get back to the future)

But now the system seems to think my next match is this friendly, and it makes the players in my friendly formation to appear in bold letters in the ‘players’ menu. Even if my actual next match is a league one, where I use my default formation (players in the default formation should appear in bold!).

Well, the player is mine, so I guess if the team is managed by a computer, I would like a YES.
This is a serious conflict for me, I’m renewing my team, spent more than 40 M in a goalkeeper who will never play for me this season, so if somebody sells a player after loaning him to a team managed by a PC, the game should consider to give him back to the new team.
It’s just an idea.
I’ll have to wait, Thank you all.

PD: As the GM told me, the computers ignore your requests.

Frenchi.

I’ve tried to request a loan termination (my player had been loaned out to a CPU team), but I never received an answer.. I had to wait until the loan was over to get my player back.

Well, it’s a request. You can get yes or no as an answer (most of the time it will be no).

So it has no sense the “Request loan termination” feature. Ok thank you.

or take a team in the top rankings of UEFA and sign your academy players and then sell them for pure profit ;)

I have to agree that I used to like to read into manager comments in the newspaper… :) gave the game a more “human” feel to it. Again, the more human managers we get the better. (i’m stating the obvious i know)

for the iphone app i think having the ability to set your formation is what most of us want. I can send mails and negotiate with my iphone4 without any problems, its only the formation screen that doesn’t work.

BK, what do you mean by manager/player/club interaction? i’m not quit sure which part of the game this involves and more specifically which area needs tweaking?

I won’t set a list of priorities as i’m ok with whatever everyone decides.

You have to wait for it to finish, unless admin help you. The best thing i can add is a free goalkeeper in Chile :-\ lets your youth keeper get plenty of game time!

I have bought a goalkeeper who (in the moment of the sale) was loaned from his original team to another team, when I finished the operation, I requested the loan termination, but the goalkeeper doesn’t come to my team. Can somebody tell me how can I do to make the player come to my club? Do I have to wait for the loan contract finishes? It means I lose the gk for all the season… And I don’t want to receive 14 goals in a match again. Thanks for reading.
