I think this is a nice idea. Gives me a nice look at all my in and outcome. It has no real pratical uses though, it’s just intresting to see :)

some players of mine have also start decreasing. I personally think that’s a good thing. The values of certain players at the moment are not very realistic.

You misunderstoud me here Parag. I didn’t say there was a problem by loaning a good playerto a team. A lower team will never loan a player with 70 stats. Getting a player from 70 to 80 is the hard part. I think this shouldn’t be made easier since then we might get the same problem as before. To many great players. I still also think it’s not bad to “lose” a superstar on free transfer and have him eventually quit football because nobdy wants him :). We can handle a few losses with the current level of great players.

I think then you will get the same problem again. I don’t agree here. If you get players from 70 stats to 80’s very fast, then you can loan them to the lower teams. When playing the officials they will increase very nice. I think this should be the challange. Besides….I don’t think with the current level of players it will be a loss if a “superstar” is lost…..

agreed. What’s the point in doing it realistic? Some of the values of players aren’t realistic anyway :). I see no problem in creating a worldcup, but selecting 8 teams from each country might be a little tomuch. I would rather see top 4. We have 8 countries so that would give us 8 groups of 4 (32 teams like in a real world cup, only with teams :P). I personally think it would be a little tomuch to have an entire long “competition” beside the regular league games. But simply doing it like a world cup would be a great idea. Just have the group stage, which would meen 3 or 6 games (playing home and away) and then top 2 or 3 for example advance to the quater finals.

Well, there is something strange going on. I have a player with a value of $2,147,483,647, which is the EXACT SAME AMOUNT TO THE DOLLAR!! as the Goalkeeper from PSG in Fastticker….
Hector Sosa Silva <—-$2,147,483,647. So this indeed has nothing to do with a calculation of 1 individual players stats…..

I know you are the maker and all and you say it’s because of inflation. But the jump in value comes just after the player increases 1 or 2 stats! I seen it with 4 players of mine now. After they increase suddenly there value is f*cked up!

I assume merchandise is calculated through player values right? Won’t these new values bring more money into the game?

I think its best to turn it all around and get those values at a normal level….

Well, I don’t really care personally wether a player of mine is worth 2 billion or 2 million. If i think he is good I’m either buying him or playing him

What worries me is the next time this player wants to negociate a new contract. There was a formula for his wage demand right? It all depends on his previous wage and his current value? I can’t imagine what kind of wage a player will ask with a 2 billion value!!

I see more teams have it. This has nothing to do with inflation, this is a bug….nothing more. The value increase was instant

I just wanted to make a post about it! There is something wrong indeed. I have a player who went from 9 mill to 153 million this last tick. How is that possible?

The site is being buggy and slow. I just wrote a mail and when I wanted to send it I got an error. I assume the mail wasn’t send out.

I’m getting it more and more these days. that I either have trouble logging in or it is just all very slow. It didn’t use to be like this. Is there anything being done?

won’t the problem be that all these loans will only help the big teams? A small team can train a young player very fast (since he is playing officials) and when he’s a star he go’s back to the big club. So…all the power is still with the big clubs.

If the general idea of the new youth system was to balance things out, this isn’t the best of idea’s. There has to be a way small teams benefit more from this instead of just helping out the big teams get good youth going…..

I also think just selecting teams from UC or Cl wouldn’t be totally fair. I think all countries should be involved. For example in my case. There are hardly to no teams of france in any quater or semi final, but I do think teams from there should get the chance to represent there country. Its all in good fun right?

This makes me think about managersim again. There you had an actual world cup. Players playing for there national team. At certain times this was quite annoying since you had for example a cup game at the same time. You then lacked some of your “superstars” for the cup game since they had national duties. It made sure you had to manage your team in the right way in order to win the games and keep track of the stamina of your players.

I noticed something i find very annoying. I have just put in "sub player @ 55 min when we are ahead by 2.

Now I noticed something strange that I think should be changed. I was up by 3 @ 55th min so there was no sub. Now I would like to suggest you put something in there like “if we are atleast up by 2”. Which would meen that when I’m up with 3 or more the sub still happens.

Wouldn’t it be more fair now with the new youth system to lower this time needed. I personally think 35 min is a very long time……besides….I thought it was 30 min?

I know I read it somewhere before, but I would like to start the discussion again. At the moment it only shows managers in danger. Isn’t it possible for you just do what managersim did. Make the newspaper far greater. Let the newspaper ask you for interviews with a set of questions you can answer that will then be posted in the paper. Also, if a manager is bidding on a player, maybe this could be rumoured in the newspaper? Or if a transfer was finalised, announce it in the paper that team X has got player Y for the amount of etc. And last but not least, maybe show some results like, how did a team do in the UEFA or CL games.

Basicully, create it like it was in managersim, since that was also fun to look at and you could now and then read the thoughts of another manager if he gave an interview. It also was an easy way to create extra competition when it comes to bidding on a player. You might mis out on one, but thanks to the paper you won’t :)

thank god! You almost made me consider quiting :(. If I lose all my hard work….that would have taken the fun out of the game. Basicully what I read above Ruby is just like managersim, a waiting game. Things take time. Give the new youth system a chance and look at the core of the problem. Young superstars right? I don’t think you need to discuss the fact that the rich get richer since that will always be the case. There will always be some managers who have a better idea of the game then others and just perform better. The better you perform, the better you will get (player wise and money wise). This was the same with Managersim. There were most of the time the same 4-8 clubs in the 2nd round and quaterfinals of the CL.

What I ment about handling the core problem is, maybe you could have a look at your youth generation system of whatever you call it :). The youths just grow to something awesome to much. I recall managersim having players who had a value of 40 mill. But those were like 1 or 2 in the entire game. So the game only had like a maximum of (and correct me if I’m wrong) 10 superstars max in the entire game world. Those were always spread around multiple clubs so didn’t really matter. I recall I had 1 of those superstars….the kind that scores an avarage of 2 goals per game. I think I paid 160 mill for that player, but he was worth every penny :). Some other ex-managersim in eurotest managers might recall a player called “Machado” who was playing with Man U. He was a goal scoring machine and was bought for 200 mill by the manager from man u (Luc Blomme). But thats it. They were not “a dime a douzen”….they were exceptional and very hard to find.

Anyway…..I’m losing my point here :). My point being is….it’s ok to have superstars, but they should be rare. There is only 1 Messi or 1 Kaka and only 1 Ronaldo……there isn’t 50+. Fix the core problem and I’m sure the game will balance itself out by 10 seasons….

This idea is more in line with what I think. Basicully reduce the money from the teams, but don’t just reset teams. I don’t want to lose any of my players.

How about just adjusting the superstars? I personally don’t see the point of a new youth system if only after 2 weeks you are considering a partial reset. The youth system will take time. Just fix the “glitch” of the old superstars. Just remove soms stats and let them grow with the new youth system. Just find any players with 95+ main stats who are like 21-22 years old.

I don’t want a reset tbh. I’m just getting a nice team…and all my hard work will be lost? That’s not something I’m looking forward to AT ALL…..

What was the point in playing then if it was all for nothing?

Did it crash or something?

Ex soccersim and managersim. PLayed it for a total of 4 years. Played all those years in eurotest with Middlesbrough. In the end I was ranked #1 in the game before they pulled the plug. Right above Rui Antunes who was #2 with his Mallorca. I was runner up twice in CL in the last 2 seasons of the game.

In the end my team had an avarage age of 23 and I earned about 100 mill a year with just tickets and merchandising. I had a wage bill of only 350k, wich was extremely low for a team like mine.

I think I also had the record for most expensive sale. I sold a 100/100 dm for 250 mill to Genoa.

Well, I think thats enought bragging for now :)…still need to prove myself with Brest in Fastticker :)

I’m just curious about something. I read plenty about “people being worried that there is to much money in the game”. What is to much?

What I would like to know is how rich are the avarage teams? How is your income? I for example with Brest Generate about 400k in sponsers and stuff and I get between 400-500k from tickets. That’s about it.

How is this with the teams like Valladolid or Hertha :). I assume it’s alot more? Do you mind sharing or is it a big secret :). Also…how much money do teams like that have in the bank? For example, when I played managersim the most I ever had was 600 mill in the bank. Record transfers back then were about 150-250 mill.

Now I see players being listed for 80-100 mill, but are there even teams rich enough to afford that?

Also, to the makers, if I get more and more succes I assume I will earn more money? Is sponsers effected by succes or simply by star players? The more value my players have the more money I get from sponsers and merchandise?

Ok…hope I can get some answers here :)
