I know the score was on my favor,
but this match ended 7 X 1
we have about the same quality players,
had about the same time with ball,
about same shots.

Why the big margin in score?

Andrea Buffa has had too many injuries this season,

Turn 27
http://www.rubysoccer.com/game/match_report/519405

Turn 31
http://www.rubysoccer.com/game/match_report/532078

Turn 36
http://www.rubysoccer.com/game/match_report/519459

Considering that he is only a Sub at halftime he gets injured every other game, is it because of his age (33)? his stamina is at 100.

just want to know if its a bug or this is how the game is set up?

Thanks

Why was Leon Geuze Contracted by RKC Waalwijk on Season 26 Turn 92, fired for inactivity. on Season 27 Turn 31, then contracted again on Season 28 Turn 44?

I thought that if you were fired from a team, you could not get hired by the same team.

What happened here?

if you look at the match replay

http://www.rubysoccer.com/game/match_report/451783

you will see that Lloyd Forrest scores the first goal just after 41 seconds of the start of the match?
I actually could not believe it, I has to watch this replay for about 15 times and of cource I think that Progreso had A LOT to do wit this because of they line up… 3-2-5? (talk about attacking power)

I do not know what the actual record is?

has any of your players scored a goal in the first minute of the game?

I just noticed this,
I see that there is no recognition for wining a second division or for example Brazil Série B.
For example by looking at Ceará from Brazil Season 26 they won the Série B championship and under the Top Scorers there is also a box that says “Last Champion” and there is a list of teams that were better that 19 other teams that played in the same league, and that deserved some recognition.

http://www.rubysoccer.com/game/team_titles/35

Now by looking at the Teams Page in the “Titles” tab, you can see that there are no titles no thing is listed.

What does it mean “No titles won so far.”

what about Série B Champion

Is there a way that this can be added?

What about managers, do they get credit for promoting a team to the top division as champions?

Not many top division managers care what happens in the lower division, but lets face it reality is that there are 2 champions in a country every season, and in lower divisions whoever is champion, means that it was the best of the season.

looking at some of the TOP players I came accross Santo André’s Alberto Chaves, looking at his stats, I am not affraid to say he is the Best Striker in FT, not only his stats show this but also his preformance, (as of Season 27, Turn 74) he has played 523 matches (official) with an overall ranking of 9.17!!! and has been MOM 110 times!!! what I think is most impressing is that he has 751 goals!!!! at only 28 he has a great chance of becoming the greatest goal scorer in history and the best player in FT.

Here is an idea, how about if when you sale a player that was raised in the Youth system of you team, there could be a clause that you can recieve $ if he becomes a Star and he is latter sold lets say you get anywhere from 1-10% of the sold price this can be specified when the player is sold.

100 goals is very impressive, I think there are a, lot of great strikers in this game but because of the way they are valued, not everyone looks at them, for example Niklas Fenske from Granada 2nd Division in Spain, he already has 100 in scoring but like Marcel Humbert does have Low Dribble and heading and speed skills, although they do not cost as many millions as other players they have done great jobs scoring goals with their teams. Niklas Fenske already has 82 official goals this season.

Hello All,

I just had a question, in FT I Coach Spain’s Granada, its one of the worst teams in Spains Primera División but I managed to Promote them from Segunda to Primera 3 seasons ago, i do not do good at all but at least I’ve been in a safe place not to relagate.

OK. my questions is that I have A Young Player that was actually a Very good youth Player that was promoted at the end of last season, by the time he was promoted he was worth about 2M (which is VERY good for a Youth Player [specially whith the new Youth development Format]} he has improve a lot at the begining of this season, at Thick 87 he played a Primera División Match and he improved his Tackling, Shooting, and Dribble, He is a Right Midfield eventhough he improved in his Skills his Value Decreased about 300K is this possible?

I thought that the better Skills a player has the more Valuable he is (I think its logical) I do not recall how many points he improved but i know that he improved because quen I logged in at Thick 88 he has the already mentioned skills highlated in Blue, (and I log in at Thick 87 40 minutes before the update) i do not know if Gabriel can go back in time and see how many points a player improved.

if this a Bug or is this just an Isolated Case?

In the First Round of La Liga there were some strange results, 9 out of 10 matches were tied,
there was only one match that the result was not a tie. that was Getafe-Sevilla where Getafe won 3-0 other than that everyone ended up 0-0, 1-1, or 2-2

I think this event is a first in RubySoccer where 9 matches were tied in 1 ROUND!!!

Take a look at this match report
http://www.rubysoccer.com/game/match_report/275842

it was a match against Atletico Madrid (currently # 1 in La Liga)
they had 40 shots and 36 shots on goal!!!, but whats more interesting is that we ended up 0-0!!
I know Pascali Agosti is a Very good keeper but this is just strange,
7 of Atletico’s players had a 9.9 or higher!

just imagine what would of been if i had my second keeper with rating 84?

Who do you think will win the Club World Cup 19?
Fortaleza or Napoli, according to their Respective ligue standing Fortaleza went all the way and got first place in Brazil, and Napoli finished second in Italy, this might be one of the most exiting Club World Cups we have ever seen, since they both have exelent teams that only can be described with one word: Perfection.

Starting with:

The keepers,
both team have young but exelent goalkeepers that can make a grat difference on important.

The Defence:
-For Fortaleza, edgy, young, experience, power, speed, and control but aldo like to attack, (might be a disadvantage)
-For Napoli, young, controled, not as much experience and a bit slower (this might be a disadvantage)

Overall, great Defence for both teams, we would have to see if there is a mistake or two that can give the other team a chance,

The Midfield:
For Fortaleza, one man for sure Salgado, has great support from other players.

For Napoli, well balanced from the right and center.

Overall, A midfield needs to be balanced oi the Right, Left and Center, it is not up to one player to make a difference.

The Attackers:
For Fortaleza, One man; may be one of the best in Ruby Cristian Ribas, medfield needs to support,

For Napoli, young, they know how to handle the ball, but might need something extra.

Overall, the attackers need to play as a team and help midfield so that they can also be helped.

we are geting ready to see a great match, and only one team will be called the Club World Cup Champion the that would be not just the result of a grat season but also of a great past.

Good luck Dave Spurrier and Alexander Nygård

May the best Team WIN!!

Who do you think will Win?

P.S. I miss the newspaper. ;-P

Now that young players are evolving with a new logic, we have seen incredible stats in players that not just have elevated stats but also incredible “Estimated Values” such is the case of 20year old Benfica Defender Mário Serrano whose value is estimated to be worth $1,758,110,156 or 21 year old Bayern München keeper Peter Jones, that is estimated to be worth $1,248,264,793 and yes it is not MILLIONS its BILLIONS!!! this is just to name a few of the ones that catched my eye,

I know that every turn there is a probability of a player improving but I tink it will be fun just to think about this.

Have you ever wondered about the price of your players?
do you think you have one of the most expensive players in your League or maybe in the entire game?
who is the most expensive?
who is the best?

Just copy and paste, and add your player in the cooresponding rank.

Rank Name Team Price

1. Mário Serrano Benfica $1,758,110,156
2. Peter Jones Bayern München $1,248,264,793

In the past 3 seasons and in the upcoming seasons we’ve seen and we will continue to see some of the greatest players say bye to the game and retire, such is the case of French Forward André Lechat, at 35 years it is known that he only has a couple of years left of playing soccer, although he new has a rating of 89 in shooting he is till an undisputable starter. He has been with Caen (France) ever since Season 1 Turn 1. He has played 716 official matches and has scored 658 goals to be named one of France best players of all times, he has been the Top Scorer for Ligue 1 in France 5 times making season 2 the top scorer of all the leagues with 46 goals. Lechat’s only downfall is the poor productivity in international competitions, with Caen qualifying for international competitions about 12 times in their history, Lechat has played 28 international games and only scored 7 goals 6 in UEFA Cup and only 1 goal in CL, scoring his last international goal in season 8.

Although he has not scored many goals in International matched he is still be considered one of France biggest stars of all times.

Do you have a “Legend” that has retired, is retiring this season or will retire in the next couple of seasons?

Hi Guys,

dont know is you have anything about this, or if you guys are currently working on this, but I thought that it would be cool if every season there would be a Player of the year, the player that made the biggest impact to his team, and help his team achieve great success, it can be eather by statistics (i.e. best average ranking, most goals, most goals in important situation, most improved, etc) or by voting like in real life, have about 10-12 representatives from each country vote for their top 5 players who they think are the best of the game, and give them points (1st place gets 5 points, 2nd place gets 4 points 3rd place gets 3 points and so no…like in real life) that way we can get a player that is named “Ruby Player of the Year” or however you want to name it. what do you guys thik?

Jack Baraclough and Andy Gray, and Chris Kissock, might not be a names that any of you are very familiar with, Jack in a Forward and Andy is a Defender, and Chris an attacker. They have a lot of things in common, the first and most obvious, is that they all 3 play for Liverpool, one of the best teams in FastTicker that has won Premiership 7 times, FA Cup 3 times, UEFA Cup 1 time, and Champions League 2 times. Back to the 3 players one more thing they have in common, is that they are young none of them are older that 26 years, they have very good stats, (Average of 90 in their main skill), they also make VERY good money they add a total of $252,082 in salary (only them 3) and here is here is where the interesting part comes, they were only worth a combined price of …….not $50M,…….not $25M, not even $5M….all 3 were worth a combined $74,512!!!! WHAT A DEAL!!!! And yet an other thing in common is that they were all players from Fulham, and they were all purchased in Turn 75 of season 10 right when andreas ulice was the manager of Fulham for only 71 Turns, it is very strange that andreas ulice only managed for 71 turns and in these 3 great players were sold for an average price of less than $25,000. This sounds like if there is something not right. I know that there is a restriction that prevents users using the same computer to do trades between them (even if it is true that there are 2 different managers using 1 computer) but there is nothing to prevent form me creating a user from a different computer (for example at work) and use it for 1 team and use an other computer (at home) for my main team then sell and loan players from one team to the other. I know that there is no way that this can be prevented, but I think that it can be caught.

My question to the developers:
Is there a report that you guys see when there is a transfer (as far as database information) where you can see if there are transfers that look suspicious?

Do you have a current plan to prevent the single user with one 2 computers and 2 teams one in a each computer?

I know that this might sound rude pointing people out, in this case Liverpool but it is just a game we are all here to have fun and when you subscribed it asked you not to cheat if you agreed and you are cheating you are breaking the rules and you should be reprimanded for it. If Liverpool is not doing not cheating and it was just a coincidence that these players were put on sale at the same time and at a cheap price and by the same team and then the manager disappears. it all just does not sound good, my apologies to him.

Hope the developers can investigate this issue and have some information in the future or at least an explanation.

I think that it is not fair that some of us get fired from our teams just because some bad results and try our best WITH OUT CHEATING, and others are still there since day 1 with the same team and worst of all CHEATING.

to Carlos Costa’s comment I have been sacked and at first you do feel bad and i did lost motivation I finally said to my self, in real life this happens, just like Danilo said, the problem is that in real life good managers are being seeked by good teams and bad managers do not really do that good, according to the FastTicker rankings I got to a point where I was ranked # 6 and My tean got to # 5 that is verry good, now I am currently managing a team who is ranked # 200 Energie Cottbus this is not fair,
I thought of a suggestion it might sound complicated. but here it is,
Like in real life, a manager is hired.
-there will be a contract for X seasons.
-there will be goals for the team.
they could be win X title, players to pull from youth system, get a team to a X rank. ETC…..
-if manager does not satisfy goals, then he gets fired,

(here is where the interesting part comes)

have the team (with no manager) offer a contract (no money like in real life, just the satisfactoin of managing that team) to a manager with no team and have the manager decide if he wants to manage that team (like in real life) if not then the next highest ranked team will offer a "contract’ to that manager, and basing everything of the Ranks.

it sounds complicated but if you think about it I lost my team and it sucks! but in the bright side I get to manage a different team with different players and different rivals. this way everyone (according to the player and team Rank) will ahve a chance of managing a good team.

I know that this idea sounds crazy but what does everyone think, is it worth taking about or is it imposible?

I have been Manager of Caen in France FastTicker ever since tick 81 of SEASON 2!!! I have had good success with this team, I have evolved players and improved youth players as well, I have won the Cup ones and runer-up 5 times, I have also won “Ligue 2” once and “Ligue 1” 2 times, this with most of the seasons I was manager qualifing tor international competition, currently I was on the UEFA CUP and won my first round and Lost the Cup Final, ever since this season(11) this started bad, by team would not win matches out of 42 official matches that I played I only won 13 matches, Tied 15 matches and lost 14 matches, if anyone looks at my players in comparason to the players that are in the majority of the French teams, I have a very good team, the problem was that I would not win matches, I did notice this with other teams that have good players but do not have good results, there should be something done with the match engine and the Board Expectations, according to the Board for the Ligue I was expected to Fight for the title, in the cup, reach the final, and in international competition, I was expected to reach the semi-finals, well I satisfied one reached the final of the cup, as far as international competitions I won the first round and was not given the chance to play my next match, and in the Ligue I know that I was not going to win the championship but we still have 21 points to play (7 Matches)I still had a chance to qualify for international competitions. as far as My economy, my budget was about 17M+, I still do not understan why I got fired, I am not tring to get compasion from enyone, All I want is that something is done to the fairness of the teams that have better players than other teams, and in matches between them the weaker team wins, there might be some other people with this same situation, and I think it is not fair. in a way it is good that I got fired I think that everyone has to move one and i will try to manage some other team.

Hello Everyone,

I think that we need some feature that can allow us as team managers to put comments about the team, so that everyoine could see them, for examlpe we can tell everyone of the teams prformance on recent matches, also con teams current forms, it a player needs to be notices he can name it so that everyone else can see that player and recognize what a great job he is doing. I think that this feature could add a little more exitment to the game.

Just a suggestion…
What do you Think?

attached to this post, in FastTicker, Germany, Hertha BSC Berlin if you look at their team have a total of 27 palyers in the Senior team, out of them 19 are Forwards, 2 goalies, 3 defenters, and 3 midfielders, in his win against FC Schalke 04 (tick 105) he had a 3-4-3 out of the 11 players he had 8 forwards on the field, 2 of them (Gustavo Leite, Juan Sanz Niño) got a rating of 10 playing as midfielders, Hertha BSC Berlin won 2-1, the next match against VfB Stuttgart (tick 108) he again had a 3-4-3 and again had 8 forwards on the field Braulio Blanca (a Forward) got rating of 10 as a defender, and Gustavo Leite (a forward) for a rating of 10 as a midfield, Hertha BSC Berlin won 4-0, the match against VfL Wolfsburg (tick 111) he had the same formation with 8 forwards on the field and this time Braulio Blanca, Manuel Salas, Juan Sanz Niño got perfect 10 plaing at a wrong possition, this time Hertha BSC Berlin won 2-0. Hertha BSC Berlin is currently 1st place in 1. Bundesliga ( and will be champions….again) and I think that there should be some kind of penalization, in real life a team can NOT do very good if he only has the keeper, one “true” defender, and one “true” midfielder,, with 8 forwards on the field it just doesnt make sence that Hertha BSC Berlin has done SO GOOD with that kind of gameplay. and I hope something is done so that it is fair for the rest of us that do plan out a line-up with the correct players in their spot and try to make the game more real.

PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

Hola Muchachos,

I think that a good example of this problem is in FastTicker-France-Ligue 1-Marseille they have lost ALL the games in the ligue and in the National Cup, the reason is because of the poor quality of the team specially the the low # of players and they also have NO keeper, they only have 12 players 6 of them are youth their keeper is a youth attaker with 30 rating in the keeper statistic.

There should be something done to the game regarding computer teams because as it is know, it takes off the competition out of it this example Marseille was the ligue 1 champion in season 2 and just 3 seasons after they can’t even keep a decent team. Also in the competition, it is incredible that a player can have 74 goals in just 28 games (Alex Hamel from Paris-SG) in just one game he scored 19 goals that is the ammount of a decent forward IN ONE SEASON I currently manage Caen and I have also scored 22 goals in just 2 matches (home and away, and one player André Lechat has 15 goals in the 2 matches) and I do not think that this makes it fais for everyone because it just takes out one team out of the competition. if you analyse the data on Top Scorers for every nation the average out of the 10 players listed is about 23 goals and in France the average is about 35 that is a great difference in statistics.

And talking about competitions, about the UEFA cup Marseille has a match against Hamburger SV. we know for sure who is going to win. its ok with me personally, the only problem that I see is that it is not fair for France as a nation since participation point in European Competitions are accounted for in Nation Rankings I think that this puts France (and other nations that have teams with this same problem) in a handicap.

I had a conversation with a fellow manager from France and we came to the conclution that France has done bad in international competitions bcause of this same reason, the computer teams do not give out as much competition as they should be and this brings the quality of the good teams down.

This is just my opinion sorry if its long but I tried to put everything in perspective…

This is for everyone:

I want to know who is willing to pay $50,000,000 for a 30-year-old defender that does not even reach the 90 rating mark in Tackle?

i was looking at the transfer list for Brazil, (ok I know that in real life Brazil has the best players in the WORLD, and in Ruby Soccer they are developed prey good), but when I saw Hilton Ximenes with rating of 87 for $50,000,000 I almost fell out of my chair,

First of all he has a wage of $102,000 that is more than half of what I pay for my entire Team (and I have 9 players with 80+ rating)

Second he is already 30 years old I doubt that he will ever get to 90+

I think that the current problem with the game is that there are no limits on the Transferring of players, I think that there should be a Maximum amount that a players could be sold, I do not think that 99% of the teams could not afford payers like this, I do not think that reducing stadiums will be the solution for the financial problems of certain teams, I think that it should start with the Transfer system, here should be a regulation of all the prices and of all the wages, there would be maximums and minimums.

I just want to know out of all the managers who is willing to take the risk of paying a huge amount of money for a player that is going to take them bankrupt.

It is clear that some Managers are manipulating the Transfers of all the nations; they buy a good player because they know they have the money and then they wait the minimum amount of turns to resell the players for an elevated cost that none of us could afford.

Related to this topic:

I also love Stats,
I am not sure if you guys are working on some thing like this or not but here is goes,

Individual awards for Players:
Uefa, Champions, Libertadores, and Sudamericana player of the Year.

Also something like “World Player of the Year” where a single player is selected among a list of players that did good in the season, taking into account average performance in league games and if the team participated in International competitions as well, and Goals will be factored in as well, the amount of goals in leagues and International competitions

Also it will be cool if there is a “Team of the Year” where only 11 Players will be selected to represent the Best of the Best of the Year. It can be structured as a 4-4-2 the best 4 defenders, the best 4 midfielders and the best 2 forwards. (According to either voting like in real UEFA voting where every Manager gets 6 points to vote for the best players in a list of about 30 players from all the Nations and gives 3 points to the 1st pick, 2 points to the second pick and 1 point to the last pick, but a Manager can not vote for one of his own players. this way is we do not have National teams yet at least we can point out the best players of the Game.

Just a wild idea!!

Muchachos,

My team is Middlesbrough in MediumTicker, I have 2 Friendly Matches scheduled for the same Tick (25)

25 Middlesbrough x Bayern München Friendly
25 Benfica x Middlesbrough Friendly

Also, in the team description it says that I got 17th place last season and that the team relegated to Division 2, I am still in Division 1, I thought only 18,19,20 relegated.

Thanks.

Hola Muchachos,

Would it be possible to add a feature where a manager could give out his thoughts of his team or the opposite team or of future matches or whatever related to the team that everyone could see by simply going to the teams main page and looking at the “Press Releases”.

Just thought it would be a cool idea now with international competitions are approaching I think that you (as a manager) could make a match appealing by talking about your own team or the opponents team.
