2. Negotiations

There is no negotiations anymore! The player cancelled my first offer and now i dont even have the chance to make a better offer. This is stupid becos now im loosing a good young player!

Sorry but im seriously thinking about leaving the game becos having players cancel the contract offer before uve even had a chance to negotiate is rediculous! If i knew how much the player wanted i wud happily offer the amount but i dont becos im not given a chance!

2. Negotiations

Contract negiotations are getting beyond a joke! I offered the player exactly what he wanted and he cancelled negiotiations stating " he decided not to proceed with contract negotiations. He feels your offer was too far apart from his expectations"

So now ive lost the player…Great!

Soccersim was a great game under Peter, its just sad that its now a Pay to Play game and current managers who havent/cant pay are being forced out :(

2. Nationality

How about a team that has say 7 players of the same nationality in the starting 11 gets a small advantage in the match? For example if ur managing an Italian team then if u had 7 or more italian players in ur starting 11 ud get a small advantage in the match. That way it wud encourage the use of the youth system and help international sides.

2. Future plans for RubySoccer

Removing real life club names, giving managers contracts and all the other superficial changes are all well and good but it wont change the fundermental problem that everyone seems to complain about and thats the match engine. Removing club names wud make the game less attractive as i really couldnt see me getting excited about managing a team called Joe Bloggs United or The Manchester Raiders for example!

As for contracts i cud quite easily see managers getting sacked right left and center like international managers currently do. The board was 100% happy with me, i played and lost the next match and i was sacked. Hardly realistic and sadly i havent bothered with international management since.

Better youth academy is a good idea and cud be done similar to the current training ground were u use points to improve it with a bigger pool of youth players too.

Training is one thing the game is missing though as managers have no input into this which is odd given its a fundermental part of being a football manager. Being able to control training and perhaps focus on training specific attributes would be good.

2. Future plans for RubySoccer

I have to say i like the way the game is right now too. The only problem i have with it is that from day one we’ve never been able to use normal world formations like 4-4-2, 4-3-3 and 5-3-2 for example as play only seems to happen in the center of the pitch and therefore managers just line their players up through the center of the pitch.

Another problem is that players from brazil and England are better than other countries and therefore everyone seems to buy players solely from those countries. A way to solve that could be to implement a team bonus wereby a team fielding say 6 homegrown players would get a small performance advantage in the match over a team full of foreign players. It would also help international teams too. Additonally regarding international teams, managers gets fired way too easily which makes it kind of pointless even applying and again that is something which cud be improved.

As for getting rid of real life club and competition names, i wouldnt be in favour of that as one of the unique aspects of this game is having real clubs in real competitions as its something most onlines games dont have.

Yeah it was after the final match of the season. Does that mean it wont drop anymore before the start of next season then?

2. Board rating drop question

Is it normal for your board rating to drop by over 20% after losing a match? It seems rather harsh to me and now my board rating is just 1%.

Is it working yet because when i go to the page it says “This is still not being applied on the match”. Im not sure whether thats because its not yet in operation or because of some bug perhaps.
