Newspaper is one of the features with a lot of potential but it’s been abandoned for some time. We are aware of all those issues, it’s just that we always choose something else to work on :-(
I’m willing to change it to balance the hiring of good veterans who can have an immediate impact on the team vs young promising players. It makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the input guys.
I think it does make sense to change the rule, either based on manager reputation or player age. I’ll take a note.
Cheers.
I truly understand that it’s to protect against cheaters (even if i don’t understand why there are cheaters in a free online game).
But when i arrived in the team i had a goal, 32 years old, and he had 72 in keeping, and he was the best goal of the team, but when i tried to fire him, he was too important to be fired ……………………., a 72 goal keeper ^^ i had to wait until i got a young goal with 80 to get rid of him but only 30 turns before the end of this contract (and the selling of old players stilled worked at that moment).
If i let them rot 7-8 years in my team for no reason, he hurts really badly my team because i have a low income of money because of my small stadium.
i prefer to pay a little bit of money, then seeing a useless player in my team, but that’s me :p
It’s made this way to not let cheaters join a team and fire all the best players of that team. I’m rebuilding my team to, however i still keep the best old players to stay above the 1% :).
You have 2 options really;
1. Play with them and sub youth in
2. Let them rot!
Hello,
+1 on the “important player” issue.
As the computer doesn’t buy anymore old players, The Board should not resign these players …
Otherwise, it’s nearly impossible to build/rebuild/renew our team.

Hi Filipe,
For me i could maybe be a great idea the reputation :)
For the only one player fired by turn is ok, i don’t think you need to change that (at the worst case in 30 turns you can fire the hole team :) )
the idea of hiring a better player before the contract ends was an idea that i had (a super player from Galatasaray that reties at the end of the year, but the board still didn’t want to let him go. really no luck ^^
oh, there is a trick to get ride of those players I used when got to Newcastle. At the end of season if you have space in the team you hire retiring players that are best than the one you want to fire, if the board sees there are better players than that one in the team than they let you fire him, when the new season starts the retiring players retire and you have fired the crappy one :D
I have the same problem in Newcastle, as I’m building the team with young players I wont need the older ones, yet they are my best players (actual skills) so the board doesn’t allow me to fire them. I think the latest change to the CPU buying strategy was a good thing, but maybe now there should be some exceptions to the rigid board rules, I suggested before this rules should be dependent on the manager reputation, now we have the reputation thing it could be used for that. If a manager has a good reputation he should be able to fire players like the ones we cant fire, cheaters would continue to have the restrictions…
Other rules like the minimum price to ask for a player or the number of players we can fire in a turn could be dependent on manager reputation too…
Hi everyone,
I’ am new in the game (played 2 seasons with 2 clubs), and since the change of (the PC doesn’t buy the old players).
My issue is that I got an old player that I can’t sell, and I can’t let the contract end because the board resigned him, and I can’t fire him because he is too important (for the board, and not for me).
What can i do if i want to get rid of a player that doesn’t interest me?
1) Sell me
2) Fire him
3) Let his contract end
1) I ‘am trying to sell since 40-60 turns at 1/10 of his valour a player of 31 yrs old, but nobody wants him (pc or human player)
2) I can’t fire him because he played a lot before, for the team. I get the message (player to important, you can’t fire him…..)
3) And let the contract end: the club resigned him for a year ……………………. and he will just be in my B team or friendly matches.
Do i have to keep these players for 5-8 years? And let them retire from the game, the only solution for the moment that i see?
Witch just kills my wage budget 3 players of 20 000 (60 000) that kills my small team (stadium of 26 000 seats).
I do understand the change of the pc buying young potential players, but could it be possible to remove the (too important player), until the problem of selling old players is done?
Regards
Prices Lowered at Gueugnon (France, Ligue 2) players from 25-27 yo that will be in your team for 7-10 seasons. I cant belive I am selling them that cheap. If you like a player and will like to offer less for him, as long as my board allows it, I will go lower.
Price of Rojo lowered: 35m. That’s cheap for an 91 average defender, I think.
Also some other prices lowered.

Thanks Vule (Messina)
Still plenty of free dates, so please send invites or put your team name in here and I’ll invite you to some games.
two disciplinary points means either he received two yellow cards or one red card .
two yellows could have been received in two different matches…
you can check your match reports and confirm for yourself
Thanks.
Anyone else need friendlies?
ALL STATS EXCEPT KEEPING HAVE GONE UP SINCE LAST POST, NOW AT 88 AVERAGE, wait now at 89 average!

Thinking of selling my prized keeper. I’d like to field some offers and see if it might be worth it.

This player has been a late bloomer, still has potential to grow. Keeping at 97 already, might hit 100.
I understand there are similar goalies on the transfer lists priced at around the same price i have him listed at, but my keeper is still GROWING. If i don’t sell him now, i’ll just wait till he’s done growing and ask for more money ;)

I’m also not happy with the change. Steve stated it well, but just to add: the part of the game I enjoy most is trying to improve a team, but it’s hard to do in the current situation, so now it’s just less fun.
he had no red cards, but he has 2 DP. what means?
I have seen this problem many other times, with my old team too
Are you actually reading it?
MEGA SALE AT SUNDERLAND BEST PRICES http://www.rubysoccer.com/game/team_players/166
did you check whether he had any red cards ???
( was the whole formation changed or was it just the same formation with only one player being replaced ) ?
to confirm u can go to players statistics and see if that player had two disciplinary points ? ( for every 2 points player receives in each competition, he is banned for the next match)
(may be GMs could confirm that )
Hi
sometimes my formation is changed and in games the players selected by me is not in the formation
eg: fastticker, spartak moskow vs terek, correia was selected but he didn’t play the match
why?
i agree it’s not fair to have an active market based on CPU dumb decisions, but has the change actually made CPU players act better? I question that. Yes they are not buying totally pathetic players but the veterans who still can kick a ball / make a difference no longer sell for as low as we can transfer them to lower league teams. This doesnt happen in real football. Instead everyone INCLUDING the CPU are now being ultra fussy about who they sign. Only young up and coming players are worth buying by anyone. That is just not a good change. Not realistic and not what i would expect as a person coming in to an online football game. It needs tweaking…it’s STILL not right.
I’m guessing this will be left for a few seasons to see how things are. So please put me out of my misery. Will you review this in the future or are you actually happy with the change?
I’m sure that with more managers we will have a better transfer market. It’s not fair to have an active market based on CPU dumb decisions. I’m glad to hear players are being sold to CPU after the change, I’ve also sold one myself earlier this season.
and it will be nothing like the real life football. I’m afraid this is a turn for the worse. It’s killed the game for me, i do less than i did before. I remember the manager/soccersim days, being very active because there was a lot going on that i needed to get involved in. The transfer and development side was one side of this game i liked. It’s now gone. But that is just my view and i’m sure everyone is enjoying the change :)

If you don’t want the hassle, just put your team name in here and I’ll send the invites
Felipe, in short, we will face recession :)
We all eventually will, crapy players will begin to be fired instead of listed for transfer, all player prices will eventually drop as so as player value and eventually those prices will fell like the normal prices to us, it takes time but we will adjust to the changes :D
Aaron Hardyman just improved again, 6 total points :D I’m starting to believe he can reach 100 tackle so I may raise the price, take him before I regret :D
