Alas…. my dear Auxerre probably will not be able to make it past the group phase. As such, I have decided to put some veterans up for sale at cheap prices. (5mil or less) Take a look, some have been very useful for me and although i would hate to see them go, i think it might be time to at least partially rebuild my team.

Are you ok Davison? You actually said “it would be nice”? lol

I agree with you on this one, but it isn’t a priority so more things need to be done before that…

@Dhimitri
Just a correction, instead of Porto my first CL winner was Benfica… If you were portuguese I’d consider that an insult :P

All the rest totally agree with you, in addition to that we need more real managers in the game, the CPU teams only buy players for small amounts, more real managers and there would be more transfers to make and more people making them.

Why don’t you add a similar ranking for teams for international competitions like you have for countries? You take the points a team earned in the international competitions in the past seasons and let them influence your formula. Let’s say 50% (like it is now) and 50% (individual team points).
This way teams like Man Utd or Galatasaray who normally play 2nd round (and earned more points that way) will be seen as more important by the system. They won’t be the 3th team in the group?

You can still use my suggestion when you make the step to 8 groupes.

Yeah, I know, groups on international cups have been disappointing recently. The problem amacb mentioned happens because we use the same formula to create league matches and group matches, but this formula is clearly not good for such a small number of teams. Now what Filipe said can be easily fixed when we have 8 groups. Not that it can’t be fixed right now, it’s just that with 8 groups it would be much easier to update our code to make groups more interesting or random. I’ve been promising to add more countries for a while now, shame on me! It’s hard to prioritize when you have so many important aspects of the game to consider :-)

That and the group selection must be perfected, this past few seasons our teams always met at the group stage and always in the killer group, this season I consider we are 4 of the main candidates in one group… I cant believe the game consider any of this teams weaker than any other in the competition…

This season in CL i am playing first 3 games all away which i think is bullshit.

The group can be decided before i even can use home advantage considering teams fielding reserves when they dont need to win last couple of rounds which makes it unfair…i think a team should have one home game atleast before 4th round .. what do you think?

We only try to help you Davison. It doesn’t rly matter who is longer in the game, since the game can change in the meanwhile. Still i believe that Sunderland can’t be the only one with not having youth grown.

And if you use that kind of language, you can’t rly expect to get any future help with any problems from some managers.

@Sly
The market has slowed down for two reasons:
1. The age of superstars, Tigers apart, is over. Players, even good ones, are more similar to each other, hence their impact from one team to another has lessened considerably. As a result, only those few standouts have a proper market.
2. Managers are relying more and more on youth, both from academy and from the market, transferred or freed. This, IMO, is a good development.

You know very well how much I love a dynamic market, but I would prefer not to make it more dynamic by creating a phony youth system.

@Vaughn
Yes it takes sometime to build a team, but once you get the foundation going, then you can count on your team to always be competitive. Also, proper managers should enjoy such a challenge of building a team from scratch. For new managers, it is quite a challenge where they also learn the game as it should be.
Not to brag here, but it’s no coincidence that both me and Filipe support the current youth setup. We are both quite traveled managers, with a long resume of success (taking into consideration the relativity of the term here) wherever we have been.
Filipe: Porto, Vitoria Guiamares, Manchester United
Me: Valencieness, Liverpool, Cardiff City.
All these teams (Cardiff is still in the making) have had a lot of success, being build almost from scratch, and dominating European football at their peaks. We are a solid proof, over and over again, that with a proper strategy, a lot can be done starting from scratch.

The problem is not in the youth setup, but in the knowledge base + personal skills of every manager out there. The whole experience and outcome is a mix of grooming youth and smart market strategy.
-there are still managers who quite don’t understand how youth grow. Just recently, an old manager here told me that youth complete their growth at only 400 experience growth points. It’s clear this manager has based his all strategy on wrong foundations.
-most managers don’t know how to spend. One manager in the last two seasons has sold two very promising prospects for a total of 85 million and has bought a fully grown mid of average skills for 30 million. So, the said manager has made a profit of 55 million, however, he has lost two future starters and has added a player of no impact in his first team and no return value in the market. This is a recipe for disaster, if you ask me. And it’s a recipe 90% of managers use. It’s also the main reason why the remaining 10% or even less are always the ones dominating all competitions.
Of course, making money is important. But the only profit you make in this game is the added value to the team you put on the pitch, not the balance in your fake account. :D

Changes or no changes, I think that a detailed guide should be created to help young and old managers to get their game in order. As it is, most managers here are simply confused of what the heck they are doing.

I think people using ‘fuck off’ etc. often in the forums should be punished in the game by having worse income, worse youth players etc.

O wait, it’s already been done! :P

Can we please cease this kind of behavior in the forums? I’m kind of tired of it, and I am sure Gabriel is too. Let’s speak to others in the same way we hope they speak to us, unless you have psychiatric problems (in that case, just use the common sense we are sure everybody is aware of).

yes but that was season 23, that’s 22 seasons ago. I’m sure you don’t remember your merchandise from back then, but I’m 100% sure it was more then you are getting now.

Key to succes in this game, is having a wide selection of players, so that 1 injury or 2 or even 5…won’t hurt your performance. When CL would start for me, I would play 2 entirely different teams. This way I would always have 100 stamina. So in theory, I could handle 6 injuries and 4 red cards at once (since i only always have 1 goalkeeper)….and I would still be able to field a decent team.

So instead of selling those players who didn’t turn out to be superstars, I keep them in order to uphold stamina, and be able to adapt when I get a red card or 2……

You got to realise…. it’s not that easy to perform well in ruby :). Takes time and effort. If you don’t have that, that’s ok, but that meens your performance will be hurt by it.

Hope this helps you a bit.

Regards,
Sylvain

His reserve/youth team played against you, either by accident or to develop the young players faster. There’s nothing illegal about that.
