Hi,
if I employ scouts, would be great to use them to give me accurate information, lest what is the point of having them?
Adding the ability to provide more information for managers is a good thing. Yes, it adds to the workload of being a manager, but I prefer to have the opportunity to be information rich.
If I get a youth player who looks like someone to retain in the squad, I currently have no idea about his secondary stats potential. Seems weird, as I can use a scout to tell me about secondary stats.
But being able to direct my scouts to look at a certain player, team, league, country, rank of country, etc seems fair. All I hear in this game is ‘its what happens in real life’ when I complain about getting stupid, unnecessary negative traits on players, so making the managers ability to focus scouts like real life seems reasonable.

This player still has a lot to improve and his main skill may reach 101-100

You’re not the first to say that coaches give you less info than scouting…maybe coaches should actually give you a view of improvement for each skill? Or maybe total number of improvement points expected across all skills?
Scouting specific players used to be an option in the past and we can definitely bring it back following the same model of other scout reports: you request it and wait for completion. More scout search options should not be a problem either, they haven’t caught up with later additions such as player traits.
Why do i know less about my players potential stats than i do players i can scout on other teams?
I only see my players main position potential stat, whereas i could set my scouts to search for players across multiple potential stats.
Also, why cant i send a scout to look at a particular player, rather than just let them go randomly?
Can i get more scout search options? Search for good only, search for not having particular negative traits, search for players in particular country ranking levels?
Regards,
From what I can see the team can still handle it for now. We have other mechanisms in place to balance CPU team finance if need be. Thanks for reporting anyway.
Thanks for the links above, at least now I have a pretty good idea where to look for the bug!

The substitution rule was Wuttke to sub in at half time at 45min mark.
This is just crazy! After I fired Ivan Mora he already had 5 new teams and now he will be sold to the 6th one.
Looks like getting rid of a wrong piece of clothing… :-)
The season is only halfway so I go for 10 new teams this season lol.
Season 168:
Turn 90 – $787,174 -Transferred from La Paz to Racing Club
Turn 75 – $807,350 – Transferred from Marítimo to La Paz
Turn 54 – $867,539 – Transferred from Ljungskile to Marítimo
Turn 44 – $855,687 – Transferred from Beira Mar to Ljungskile
Turn 22 – From free transfers to Beira Mar
Turn 19 – Fired from Malaga. His wage was $6,608.
Season 167 Turn 9 – Started career for Malaga
Currently there is no way to have more formations, I’ll add to our TO-DO list.
I noticed that it’s not possible to make more than 7 formations. I would like to make more, is that possible? Even willing to pay Rubies for that right.
This might be the single greatest improvement that can be made.
Home match…in other words nobody is penalised.
Does a cup final count as a home match or away match for pressure handling?
Even though Joseppi’s comments make sense I still feel something may not be working as intended. If you have a specific match where this has happened recently please let me know so I can check the match replay and commentary.
This is surely realistic? You want the sub at that time but there is not a break in play at that time so it’s done a few minutes later. Move your sub time 5 minutes forward.
Yes, I understand exactly what you are saying. However, what I am saying is:
In any match, after minute 45, replace the player on zone D, side RC and mentality 1 by “player x”
and in the match:
46 min: “player x” (h) replaces “player y” (h)
I have seen variants of up to 3 minutes difference. Therefore, the substitutions I made at 55min have occurred at 58 min mark.
This is not consistent, but its enough that some of my players have missed receiving the benefits of playing a match.
Substitutions should happen at the requested time if the criteria is met. If the criteria is met after the requested time the sub will happen then. Example:
After the minute 55 if I’m ahead replace A by B.
If at minute 55 you are ahead, sub happens. If you were not ahead at 55 but then gets ahead on minute 80 then sub happens. Of course that is assuming you haven’t exceeded your 3 subs in any scenario.
Previously I’ve asked about substitutions, and was told they happen when scheduled.
I’ve noticed that has changed.
Some subs occur a few minutes late, which is a problem. Some of my players have now played under 35 minutes and thus get no bonus for the game.
Is this a thing?
I’m sure his previous team did not focus on what the player needed to improve. I know that CPU teams don’t, they only know how to improve them by playing matches, they do not loan them out if they need to play abroad or in a higher ranked country. Thats why I intend to change the way evolution works in the future to be more based on where the player is training and playing.
Yes ;-)
Jamal Houben, 31, still improving.
“With the appropriate training and match experience this player can reach his full potential reasonably young”
Fake report!
If you have reports on ten players which all say ‘80 to 90’, can you expect those players main skill to become 85 on average?
Which team is that? You can message me in game if you prefer and I can see what can be done.
Hi,
just saw a team that has 1.2mil in wages for just their top 6 players. Whoever the manager was, is gone, just wondering what happens to balance this up?
Regards,
It should! But we haven’t done it yet..
Hi,
should a Player History also show their loan periods?
Thanks,
Ok thanks for that! Thought it was a possible bug. :)
The formulas for the team of the season award and the star calculation is similar but not exactly the same. It is true that often team of the season players end up becoming gold star players, but as you can see this is not always the case.
Star calculation takes into account player match rating adjusted by a “natural” star factor each player has that can make it harder or easier for them to get a star. In order to earn points towards gold, silver and bronze stars the player has to achieve a minimum match rating. When deciding the gold players for example we only compare the points earned towards the gold star rating and ignore the others
World team of the season looks into the same ranges of rating for gold, silver and bronze star, but takes ALL of them into account with different weighs, making it possible for a silver player (like yours) to receive the award instead of a gold player in the same position.
Hopefully I have clarified it a bit instead of confusing you even more :-)
