2. Dutch names

I remember when playing Soccersim, I thought the Dutch names were often strange. Now with Rubysoccer I still think that way, especially the first names. I checked some of them with the First Names Database on internet, and they do not exist in the Netherlands. It also seems that sometimes names which would be normal last names are used as first names.

Is there any way I can help with this?

2. National Teams

Another statistic: here is the ranking of teams in real life, based on results:

1 Spain 1883
2 Netherlands 1659
3 Brazil 1524
4 Germany 1464
5 Argentina 1288
6 Uruguay 1152
7 England 1125
8 Portugal 1062
9 Egypt 1053
10 Chile 988

I suspect the rankings on Fastticker (based on player averages) are much different: Brazil is probably first (weakest player 88 average), Netherlands much lower (strongest player 87 average). As Dutchman I must object of course ;)

2. Your Performance: 8%

I think I had been under 10% for a while at that time, though now I got it up to 13% thanks to better results (no losses in my last 8 league games).

2. Your Performance: 8%

Yes I lost and had a red card, so I tried something else. Now with 3-5-2 I suddenly won 11-0 against a decent team. Next tick I got this message:

From: The Board
Subject: Bad Performance

You’d better start getting better results

11-0 is not enough I guess :P

2. Your Performance: 8%

No luck with that setup either: 20 16-human PSV 6 0 2 4 4 10 2 (board expects me to be top 3).

I also noticed only three of my players have an avarage statistic of 6 or more…

No luck in the first game :( I am supposed to win the league, but I if I won’t win the next game I might get sacked :(

Your Performance: 1%

Season is over though, hope I survive till the next one begins and I can try to apply your advices.

2. Your Performance: 8%

I have spent quite a bit of time on Rubysoccer, only to lose almost all my matches with PSV. Obviously I am doing something wrong, but I’m not sure what… even after improving my squad by loaning some strong payers, they kept losing. So what am I doing wrong? I have tried 442, 433, 352, didn’t seem to matter. My tactics are basically going forward when having the ball, going backwards when not having the ball. Am I missing something?

And how long will I survive on 8%, now that the season (on the fastticker) is over?

2. Foreign players limit/penalty

In the Dutch league, there is a team without any Dutch players. Also I think there are more Brazilians then Dutch players playing in the Dutch league (not counting youths). Now in real life, this is not possible: there are rules limiting the amount of non-eu players (and rules for limiting the amount of foreign players are considered). Also there are disadvantages for having (a lot of) foreign players: players can get homesick, having trouble with the cultur or language difference etc.

I am wondering if country does matter in any way in RubySoccer. If not, should it not be, at least a bit?

2. Wanted: Dutch players

Hi,

Does anyone have Dutch players they wanted to sell? I might be interested.
