I’m doing something more interesting, hopefully to be released later today. I’ll give a few more details when I announce it but the idea is to raise the chance of smaller countries generating good players once in a while. Stay tuned.

Hey Davison,

We have better things to do than to keep telling people what they already know here in the forum. Next time we find ourselves forced to waste our time with this kind of behavior, we will be tempted to ban you from the game for a while. Please refrain from posting without thinking in future.

My suggestion is the following:

Have all countries regardless of country rank receive the same quality of youth player in regards to their starting stats. After this you randomise the players stats so you get the difference in the players total stat at the end of their development.

Doing this relies on the skill of the manager rather than being in the best country.

From Berhan K in the Announcements topic:

“Fantastic stuff, the new countries!!!

I was itching to take on a team in Sweden, but I’ll stick around at EPL, beating Davison is too much fun. Besides I guess someone has to make it harder for Filipe, most team give him easy points anyway. ;)"

Well, the advantage you have is that you can play with youngsters and still compete in your league.

Also, Galatasaray has made the final in the champions league before. So being in an weak country doesn’t mean you can’t compete internationally.

Hey,

I changed to a new country, nowadays I’m still alone in Denmark (I think).

But is not so easy as you say. My previous team (Celta, Spanish second division) is trully better than my new team, Lyngby in Danish SAS Ligaen. Maybe I finish at top of the league, but even is probably I do not, because I’m low experienced and my daily real time to stay here is very limited. But it would be nice to perform a team since the beginning, and to have the chance to go out as visitors without being defeated heavily once and once, hehe.

And changing to a great team by other manager is not a choice, I don’t want only titles and being in Champions. Nice, sure. But if a Spanish second division team is really superior to Danish teams (and the other new countries), I doubt that I had a chance to enter in group stage. So, that’s not an answer, dude, :)

@Filipe, B and C squad.. hehehe,
Man, people have let you dominate for too long, if only 3-4 more teams would not let you win too easy, then we would have seen another thing or two, but prepare to step down this season, your days are numbered champ!! :)

Very exciting with the new teams, it would be too easy to take a team in a new country and dominate there, like many other managers you can see in countries with 1-3 human player managers. Not much challenge in that in my opinion if the only thing you trying to achieve is finals in champions league, but all are free to enjoy different things in life of course.

@Berhan
I also gave many teams some easy points :D My team played almost every match possible, so some of them I had to use B and C squad :D The fight was good thou, this season it will be even harder I think, besides you and me there’s some new contesters as Cardiff and Fulham with full renewed teams now finishing their improvement, my time is coming to an end :)

About the European competitions I think we should make it as real life alike as possible so only one group stage, besides, the number of matches for 2 group stages would be enormous. Agree with the 3rd CL group position going to Europa league.

About the reset it should be preceded by a greater advertising to the game, a fresh start would be good for new comers but we must tell them to come, right now the number of managers we have if we divide them for this number of countries there would be like only 4 or 5 human managed teams for country, not the best for game enjoyment. Telling the managers that left the game (if you still have their email) about the reset also could bring many of them back to the game…

personally, I would have loved to see it like it was in Managersim. You had your Qualifer round, and then you would get 2 group stages. Perhaps the #3 in the group stage could go to the EL?

That is still a shame that we don’t have that in here. Some teams that get 3rd in CL, might be strong enough to still win EL. It would perhaps be better for the game….

Nice work! Or as Berhan K wrote: "

I was itching to take on a team in Sweden, but I’ll stick around at EPL, beating Davison is too much fun. Besides I guess someone has to make it harder for Filipe, most team give him easy points anyway. ;)"

A question: how does the Champions League and Europe League work now? I see there’s an extra qualification round?

TO ALL ADMINS/GAMEMASTERS:

How is that OK to let this Davison behave like the click he seems to be?
I thought you were closing topics when someone is getting to offensive?
Just look at his messages across the board, can you see any non-offensive message?

WHY not setup a real rule book and stick to it?

Just to make it clear, the bug was fixed, but only if you entered holiday mode AFTER the fix had been done. It is a shame to lose a manager like Philipp, we’ve exchanged a few messages and I did what I could to negotiate with the current Hertha manager, but of course he didn’t want to go back to Bayern.

Maybe in a few seasons (specially after changing the youth system and the match engine) we’ll be in a good position for a reset, and then none of this will matter anymore. But nothing changes the fact this bug was a shame :-(

Hehe, ok :)

Yeah, L’pool defeat was unveliable, especially for that 5-consequtive-shot occasion.

That’s curious the tackle dependence of attacking, and that’s not really cool. Football is a team play, where anyone needs to his other 10 mates. Well, maybe 3-4 players do not need, as for example Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Aguero and 2 or 3 chosen more.

Anyway, Ruby Soccer is a great island in a plain sea of good football games, with a couple of island in the world. So, long life to Ruby Soccer, but the importance of passing and team block performance should be improved.

Hi there,

In regards to your first post, I would say it’s a bit irrelevant. :)

-Given the performance on the pitch, the game wasn’t bad luck. True, the score was a bit out of place, but, speaking just from the stats point of view, Sh. United deserved to win. In the same way, a draw or even e C. City win would have been quite acceptable. Indeed, If I had outscored Sheffield 20-5 shots, and had lost 0-5, I would have said it was bad luck. The thing is, they made more shots than me, which I can’t see how.

-But of course, the ball is round, anything can happen, you should have seen Liverpool losing to Stoke this weekend: UNBELIEVABLE…but my post was not about this

-Again, sure thing, randomness is perfectly acceptable, even more so in a game :)

In regards to your second post:
Now you are talking :) My main point about the whole post is the tactical ineptitude of the situation. My main argument was indeed that such tactic used by Sheffield should have not been as successful against my midfield (Cardiff’s midfield is easily one of the top 5 in the game).

Why the tactic shouldn’t have worked
1. As you pointed out, 2 low mids vs a curtain of quality midfielders would fail any given day
2. Those 2 midfielders (Sheffield’s) were not even real midfielders. Those two players were the very key of the tactic, meaning, they should have been exceptional players to make the whole thing work. However, their skill base was completely nonexistent to the requirements of their positions, with the exception of the tackle skill of one of them.
3. One of those midfielders never entered the game basically, which makes the whole tactic and its outcome even more ridiculous. This kid had the 3d lowest tackle skill out the 20 outfielders on the pitch, he was no more than an academy players, skills wise. lol

Which basically brings us to some very dissapointing conclusions:
- the correlation between individual skill and tactical efficiency is extremely low.
- For some reason, the engine privileges one variable over the others…tackle (this is very important for strikers, many of whose chances are created by tackling the defenders of the opposing team, rather than from passing from open play).
- In the same way, passing ability is the skill with the least impact. A 75 passer can be as efficient as 95 passer!
- and much, but not worth discussing here.

Anyway, we all adapt…and sometimes..we make a call for a bit change ;-)

cheers
D

Sorry, I continue.

But I agree on the thing that a minimum reality in formation should implemented. I mean, never 2 low mids would triumph over a courtain of quality midfielders. It should be required (I have always though) a minimum of 3 deffenders and 3 midfielders, and 1 GK. Attackers are not always needed. Scotland is playing sometimes with a 4-6-0 formation

Hi,

I would like to reply first post. Firstly, bad luck, dude, sorry for that match.

Secondly, even in reality matches are not always determined by players skills. I mean, obviously, it is expectable that ManU wins Swansea, or Juventus to Mantova. But I remember a Celta of Vigo 4 – Real Madrid 0 in the 90s, 4 or 5 shots from Celta, plenty of opportunities of Madrid. Champion of league in Spain already was Madrid, Celta was near to release. This things happen

Thirdly, hopefully, not only numbers must determine a match result, a little randomness is expected, I think. It would be a bit boring if not

He was high waging every single player available on the free transfer list, essentially destroying the market.
gabriel and danilo put mechanisms in place to help mitigate such issues in the future.
I think soon afterwards he left blackpool. But as far as i’m concerned, he’s been good ever since.
