90 save goalie for the cheapest the gam will allow me + other players for sale
Charles – yes, i used to play Soccersim/Managersim in both it’s names :) CPU loaning of players is one massive advantage that the game had. Used to love seeing when the ticks were going to double-tick! lol. good times.
BerhanK – what code is it?
The game I mentioned earlier is called “A game of two halves” it’s a small game it had 32 teams per game world 4 divisions of English clubs with 8 teams per division. It was coded by Simon Goodchild, he actually got bored of the game and gave me everything so I still have the code and actually ran the game few years ago. I might launch it again but it’s quite primitive compared to RubySoccer.

yes that was the name of the old game Steve.
i’m not sure knowing a situation is that big a deal. Worst case, you wait 36 turns and you go to another team…
Don’t you guys think that a team with a bad financial situation will automatically be handicapped and GMs won’t want to sign there.
As it stands, some GMs see 200k in the bank and maybe they tell themselves “ok i’m up for the challenge”
But if you allow users to know if a situation is good or not, that chance will never be there because most GMs might just go for teams with good financial situations…
Berhan K – i asked the same question via twitter but there was a list they could give me. The view was they were young developing players so i guess the old vets are not going to sell to even the lower league teams like they would in the English Leagues for example.
Also, going back to your move to another club, your point of knowing the current financial state is a good one. Not required to know figures but certainly we would know from the press that a certain club is in good or bad financial situation. This would at least give you an idea if it’s worth jumping ship.
was the old game SoccerSim / ManagerSim ?
btw, anyone knows (the developers at least), where are the cpu teams buying or is all players on our teams not good enough?
BK
Steve, that could be almost true, IF the club I jumped to had tons of cash, they had 246k, they are an even bigger ship sinking…
Funny though, I did nothing to raise cash, somehow cash appears out of nowhere and we are not being bankrupt..It really looks like the club gets some cash to avoid bankruptcy and that mus be cheating, because I could be having several players with big wages and still “someone” pays for the costs, maybe a “sugar daddy” hehe..
We’ll see..
Perhaps a suggestion would be to:
1. let the club crash and burn,
2. the players are released on free transfer,
3. new players are brought in (newly generated by game engine) with very low wages, until the end of the next season, mostly younger players.
I don’t know but having it the way it is now, I can understand people taking another club because the club they just took has no economy.
A game I used to play in 1998 would, when club is bankrupted, fire the manager, give the club 5M, so the next manager taking the club has a chance. I should mention that it used to cost £5/season/club/person, so people took care of their clubs. Winning a division would give them free seasons, so there was lots of motivation to win for your club.
BK
guys, I was asking from the game engine point of view, how does the game see him?
You can play a goalie as a striker, that’s not a problem. But I guess he is an offensive mid even though the game sees him as a DM…
Filipe, I do not watch match replays so I wasn’t aware you could see other team’s formation really :)
BK
BK … or just leave the sinking ship and join another team :op you talk like a real life manager before he leaves the team he is loyal to :) i dont blame you, could see a lot of team moving soon
Now youre jumping from team to team? :P You must have an bankrupt attraction thing :P
You know you can see formations in the match replay right? I’ve always used him as a mid, M+1 as Dhimitri said…
still do not know what that means, is he a mid or a striker?
BK
Just took over, 260k in the bank, a bankruptcy is imminent for sure.
Interesting to see what will happen, I will not lower coaching levels to free cash to see how will the game handle lack of funds..
BK
the most prolific advanced Mid in the game, Berhan! ;-)
I guess I won’t then.. :)
BK
btw, do you play him as mid or striker?
BK
Nevermind, I forgot he played for the National team lol Got injured there :D
You really just need to sell one player :D And that John Scrutton is the one, you will lost one great promising player but you’ll have the money to restart the team…
nope, cpu teams are smart, they do not buy sheep as most human managers would.
I never rely on buy low and sell high stupid reasoning of most people anyway. No big deal.
I’ll wait for 1-2 season until most of the dead wood are either retired or up for contract renewal, which I will promptly refuse.
Buy old 33+ cheap players to get the play working, do maximum of 1-2 own products per every 4-5 seasons, sell for lots of money to other human managers. There is your recipe.
BK
he must be faking injury, got probably slapped by his wife.. :)
BK
So anyone sold any players yet? How about you Berhan K ? you had 11 players for sale…
I don’t remember this been added to the improvements list and it is the first time it happens so it should be a bug…
My player Luis Lopes got injured without any injury in his last played match… Take a look:

You have been away to long Parag :P I think Gueugnon manager used his young team so they can improve, the season is ending and he can’t achive anything this season so at least he improves his younger players, you should be doing the same, an european spot is impossible so nothing more to fight for…
WTF…
http://www.rubysoccer.com/game/match_report/1630602
i always wanted my team to win… but i don’t think my team is so good that it can thrash someone 11-0
Toulouse -—————- Gueugnon
4-4-2 formation 4-3-3
68% possession 32%
61 shots 0
47 shots on target 0
87% accurrate passes 86%
79% effective tackles 9%
7 corners 0
4 offsides 2
1 fouls 7
i hope we could investigate this result…
The losing team has a goalkeeper with 100 keeping skill on the bench, but he is not playing. Instead a keeper with 80 skills is playing…
Something very fishy is going on inside…
@Dimitri and Antonin
No ofense but you guys are dead wrong, I’ll gladly discuss this with you but for me a competitive league must have almost all teams human managed, 6-7 top teams that can fight for the title and still make a good contribution for their country in the international leagues. Holland or Turkey have none of this, England and Spain are becoming more and more like that, France has been there for many seasons but I think will not keep this way without the managers that gone to Spain.
@Dhimiter, Charles and Sly
You probably right but I hope some good manager sees this as a challenge to prove you wrong :D We already created a great pressure on him and he’s not even in the team yet lol It isn’t a job for anyone…

One of the best defensive midfielder in the game listed for 7M… One of the most important factors of my success in MU and still can be for another team at least this and another season:
http://www.rubysoccer.com/game/player_info/148537
Nuno Paiva still listed for 70M, the time for this deal is ending, I doubt the next manager will ask the same. I tend to let players go cheap :D
