with all the respect Dimitri, this topic as no logic at all, in my point of view. there isn’t any strategy football game that explains 100% how it works. that would be too boring.

if everyone start playing with the same “principles”, it would suck. there are already managers copying tactics from others, so now you want that everyone play according to the same pattern?

i played SS/MS for years, i now play RS for 6 years and i still didn’t figure out 100% how it works, i’m still learning and i would like to keep it that way. the day i figured out everything, as you suggest, i would just quit. cause it would lost all the fun.

i think Gabriel and Danilo already explained more then they should…

and yes, we have to experiment…

Berhan quote: “Rui, it’s not about the amount but more about the principle of how things work.” – that’s what i’ve been saying since the new changes…

Berhan quote: “otherwise you are creating money from thin air (like the American Federal Reserve)” – lol. that’s exactly what happens in RS at the moment

Berhan quote: “you can be absolutely sure that inflation will come!!” – of course it won’t come. at the start of the new season money is gone.

this new system is very unfair: if you sell players, you loose the money at the end of the season; if you buy players, you will have more money to spend when the next season starts.

oh, and let me just quote you in another recent thread: “The new economy changes are GREAT, period.”

LOL. no, they aren’t.

they are totally unfair for the managers who want to sell players to have money to spend on other players. those ones loose all the money at the end of the season.

and what happens to the ones who spend all the money buying players? they get more fresh money the next season.

i see no logic there, but many see it, so i’m probably blind :)

+600m? i lost much more than that lol. it’s the new economic system. the one you like very much, Berhan hehehe. that’s why no one wants to sell. that’s what some guys were saying it’s not fun, but many seems to love it, so let’s play it.

of course the money left can’t stay there for next season. if that happened, the managers who sell good players would be even richer then before, like Gabriel said.

from tick 1 to 12, the game won’t allow any transfers.

i don’t vaughn. mostly, i can’t understand the the option for a 68 keeping goalie in a CL game! this manager would be fired everywhere if, because of that, his team lost 11-0.

100% agree with Filipe.

i’m with Dimitri. it’s a useful tool.

also, the starting value can be useful to have a clue about players potential (like you say Gabriel), but if the decision is to remove it, that’s fine.

although i don’t agree with some of the recent changes, i rather enjoy this FREE game without complains. i also take this opportunity to say thanks Gabriel and Danilo for letting us play RS for free and for your hard work developing it for more then 5 years.

So rude Filipe, I don’t think Marc ‘D’ Davison deserves that. He’s such a respectful, intelligent, funny guy.

Be ready to swallow your own words. Now that the best manager we have here evaluating players said what he said about your player, I bet you won’t be able to sell him for more then 20m.

the idea is great, but i shall point some notes:

1) this was the main strategy to cheat in ss/ms days
2) 3 trades per season seems a lot to me
3) i only agree if GM’s give the ok to every trade made

cheers

can, but won’t ;) cause there are only a few at the market each season and lot’s of big fish going for them… if you found some, please tell me where :)

come on Vaughn, with all the respect, you manage a div 1 team. the market will never be dead for those teams, at least i hope. if that happens some day, it will be the end, a kind of RS final judge :)

Sly, you didn’t sell your stars because you could have money from selling other good players (which is fine) or the shity ones to cpu teams (which is the biggest problem RS economy has, i keep saying).

there was a time when cpu teams wouldn’t buy and i had to sell some very good players to buy others. (the way market was i even had to sell some stars to have around 800m so i could buy other star, to a different position)

you never sold your stars and that’s why you didn’t have much money usually. that’s a strategy, perfect, exactly as it should be. strategy. you don’t have that need now, the way i see it. what do you do? you form players, which is what you like most and that’s why you like this new model: the market is close and you don’t mind to wait 7 seasons to build a new team from start and then fight 5 to 8 seasons for titles and then start all over again. i think that is pretty cool, as you know, but there are other ways to play the game and i don’t believe all of us should go on the same direction. but the way the game is, your way it’s the only way. i say, ok, let’s do it, but it’s not a step up but a step down (in my opinion, of course, might be wrong).

“What is important is that you can still convince the smaller teams to sell their 1 super star for a lot of money in order to buy 3-4 good players in return.”

seems to me you are trying to see what doesn’t exists, but no problem with that :) it’s you defending the new model :)

good luck in MU

Lince, worry about your own team, which would be enough to give you an headache. i believe i don’t comment in the forum all the things you do with your team, nor the players you buy, etc… so…

Lince, mantém-te ocupado com os assuntos da tua equipa que já tens pano para mangas. eu também não ando a comentar aqui no forum sobre o que fazes com as tuas equipas… nem os jogadores que compras, etc…

i haven’t made any comments about your solution :)

buy low/sell high is what low/medium real clubs do all over the world to became better one day be a top club. RS problem is that cpu clubs buy players for stupid money, that was the biggest problem in my view.

yes, i claim the old days were much better :) (but maybe i’m wrong, i have an opinion but i understand it could not be the best one)

one thing is true: now i set my team, 5 minutes/day, and that’s it. i spend more time talking to you at the forum than playing the game :)

ps – there will always be cheaters. and one thing i never understood is to cut the fun of honest managers because we have cheaters. cheaters used to piss me off in ss/ms days but then i learned this: just play the game and ignore them. there’s few sucessfull cheaters and those ones you have to kick out from the game (even if they came with other account, they will have to start over again until they can have sucess again and that is not so easy nor fast)

see you in 6 months then :)

it’s not my own perspective, don’t be naif. if it was i would be complaining about all the money i lost and i’m not. i’m talking about having more or less fun. and if we can’t manage your economy, it’s less fun. like if, from now on, you couldn’t manage your tactics, it would be less fun. i believe it’s better for the game to have more aspects to manage rather then few. it’s pretty simple

cheers

oh, btw, and to put it on realistic basis, a team that would offer a wage 5x up to a player, there’s not much his club could do to avoid that player to go. the club would be almost forced to set a price and the player would go. in RS, we have loads of star players in a lot of second divisions teams. no logic, no realistic, less fun. this is a fact, not an opinion.

“What are you talking about, you can sell/buy players, maybe not the ones you want for the money you have/can offer but that has been the reality of all games of this type.”

really? are you sure, Berhan? cause the way it was all managers had to sell a few great players so they could have money to buy another great players. it’s what i call manage your economy. for example, i sold top defender Ignacio Lastra to dynamo moscow for 300m so i could buy the next great striker in the market. at the moment, i won’t sell any top player before 35 yrs. is this realistic, as you claim it should be? don’t think so…

“I am not saying that you shouldn’t be able to buy/sell, but saying that I wouldn’t care less if I couldn’t get a player form the transfer market, I’d manage anyway.”

hey, everybody would manage anyway, that’s not the point. the point is to have more or less fun.

“Do we want a realistic game or we want a fantasy game, I think the question goes towards that kind of reasoning.”

Hi Berhan, this is other typical argument i saw in SS/MS times :)

Realistic? How many seasons do we play in 12 months? This is a game. And we just have to deal with the inflation, which i must say it was very realistic the way i see it

“If I can not buy one more player ever again in this game, I would still enjoy the game.”

Is it realistic? :) hummmm…

People stop play this kind of games if they cannot buy/sell players, not because other economic problems.

the fact is, i don’t need to manage my economy at the moment…
