What do you mean?

By the way, my new laptop is here :). Expect new features / improvements.
Fixed 2 things:
- the google account login (it was not exactly our bug, but anyway)
- the donation links, which were disabled (not that you guys noticed, right… :) )
your reply doesnt make any sense
And I think they are two completely different issues!!
One has nothing to do with the other.
My suggestion is how to make the game more fair/even/harder and prevent some cheating (or at least make it harder)
Your suggestion is marketing the trademark RubySoccer, increasing number of human managers, two completely different things.
But I see you point, that is the the useless things people spend their time and energy, discussions that lead to nothing, most people are probably just interested in playing the game.

^^ i agree with heraser
I think what we really need is more human (good) players, and not stronger CPUs.
In the of the line it is they who really set the level of the game.
If you think the CPUs are too easy, then I suggest you try stronger leagues, like the brazilian one ;)
Several players for sale at Napoli – experienced players 28+ to 32. Take a look.

Dhmitri, excellent point, but it could add some extra difficulties to the game, and that is not too bad, is it?
Now, we have the manager reputation, that can be used to trigger the extra difficulty, meaning :
when a 90% reputation manager bids on a potentially great player, cpu teams with big money would make it harder for them to get the player. Sure the 100% reputation manager can suffer from such an action too but it will be slightly more difficult than already is.
About the scouting, it is not scouting at all, it’s a search list, you are guessing depending on the age and the skills of a player whether you have a potential great player or not. We can never have proper “scouting” functions in the game until we have better tools than just guessing. First step would be the ability to employ npc scouting personel. They could scout and give you back a report of the potential of the players they scout. I would have removed the search functionality altogether, that in a way is a tool for cheating, kind of. When you have the info and time to spend then you can use the function to get good potential players. That is not a skill, it’s called spare time you can spend on searching players. :)
Now, be aware of the fact that you really have no idea that the player you buy will actually get any better, but similar to stock market, when people think that they have something that people will buy for big bucks because they think they can sell it for even higher price in the (near) future, is speculations. That kind of think I am a bit against and ManagerSim had some solutions to that with the big club clause and free on relegation, or players refusing to renew etc..
Seriously though, about scouting, development etc:
I would rather change the formulas for developing the player than make it the way it works really. but that’s a different issue.

Berhan, I don’t think it would be any fair to program CPU teams to bid on the same players as “smart” managers do. This is a clear penalty you would implement on the managers who do proper scouting work, a “skill” that indeed can create the difference for most managers out there.
Gabriel, the easiest “AI” must be letting CPU teams “evaluate” player potential.
IF you have as ManagerSim had current skill set and a potential skill set, then it’s very easy.
How is this hard when you can calculate the sum of potential skills minus the current skills and then sort the list by value and age?
Maybe the CPU teams could buy non-listed players from each other though?
Well, for immediate needs, they should just get a cheap player then, or loan from human managers based on rankings perhaps?
yeah, just copy the tactics of top 20 managers and add them randomly to the cpu teams, then let that team that has copied your tactics to “preferably” loan your players on loanlist ;)
When a manager takes over then “reset” the tactics to 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 so the new manager can not see the copy of a successful manager tactics.
BK
I thought about having CPU profiles, but I’m working on some basic improvements first. CPU teams are not very good in evaluating player’s potential yet and still buy some old players just because they fit their squad, no matter if it’s not a smart deal. I’ll change their transfers decisions based on long-term goals, not immediate needs only, as it is today.
The profiles you suggest could be very useful when it comes to CPU tactics. This is another area that needs major improvements. Now that we have a higher number of CPU teams it will be nice to have them better managing their squads and tactics.
Cheers.
Gabriel, how hard of a task would it be to “record” the best managers in the game and the cpu´s try to “emulate” them?
You could have several “profiles” which the non-human led teams utilize and “learn”?
Or just do random stuff, for example cpu teams always have enough players, loaning from their youth teams and/or from other teams.
Another thing could be game knowing some managers are very good at spotting great players and then bidding on same players as they do? Well, not always but sometimes at least..
Could be fun and specially the last thing I mention shouldn’t be too hard to implement, no?
BK
yeh mate i never list a player on here with a low price unless i really want to get rid of him and its no longer about the money. i take the highest bidder :)
It’s a hell of a keeper, but too old for this price I’d say. I have some ideas to improve CPU buy/sell skills, let’s see what I can do. Oh, let’s not forget about loans, CPU teams should be loaning players :-)
How can the CPU pay 23m for a 36 years old player?
http://www.rubysoccer.com/game/player_info/68093
Is that behavior right?
well, like I said, let me know how much you want to pay.
I only start with High prices because I dont want to place the player in the TL for 10M and have then someone bids for himand he is gone. ignore the current price You tell me how much you wnat to pay for the player.
Good luck

All of the players have been trained by me,
It hurts to let go but I prefer to train new players (have a few new talents that I will like to tryout and running out of spaces, need to make room) and sell the current ones, ALL of my players are still improving, ALL are open for negotiations just send me your offer. We will negotiate. I guarantee you that you will not be disappointed.

Weeeee nice :)
Yet another way to confirm you’re on holiday mode. After entering holiday mode exit the dimension. In the enter dimension screen you will see a red message saying “HOLIDAY MODE=ON” right below the description of the dimension(s) where you are on holiday.
Cheers.
And it’s done.
LOL Chris Portress did some nice scouting and he’s being called a cheater? :). I say “move allong people, nothing to see here”. I’ll vouch for him.
^ this
a.) it’s the wrong topic to talk about this
b.) this is soooo not cheating, it very normal tbh
i dont think so. i dont really see any cheating here. hence why i say talk to gaberiel
So if you buy a 6.4M 18 yr old for 5M it’s cheating!?
http://www.rubysoccer.com/game/player_info/159235 10 million or highest offer
that 1st one is about 5m too high 2nd one is 2 mill too much both players are not gonna be good so the question is kinda valid please forward concerns to gaberial before posting this. 1) dont want to let the enemy know they have been spotted 2) see number 1
http://www.rubysoccer.com/game/player_info/212120
this transfer smells fishy….. 13M with those kind of stats….. OK he’s young indeed but still.
then
