2. Thoughts on Passing Style in Player Tactics

Hard to say which passing style is the best. Good option for you should be test all of them in the match and then pick the optimal style of passing for your tactic.

Good luck!

That trait is really annoying :-)
I’ve been thinking if some players should randomly not have a negative trait and some others no trait at all.

2. Forced transfer one more time

I’ll try to test it. Manager builds team by buying and selling players so I think that human manager should have chance to decide about accept or reject received offers especially from other human managers.

What others thinking about that?

2. player traits

I am rebuilding my team and 5 players developed the treat ‘uses more stamina’. Quite frustrating if 2 are keyplayers and a 3th one could become one.
Can I get one more substitution? :-)

2. Forced transfer one more time

It works the same way as non-human managed teams, except that the amount required to successfully force the transfer is doubled. The manager has no say in it, which may indeed make some people angry. We only had two instances (I think) of forced transfers involving a human managed team as the target.

What is the general opinion, should we block this option altogether so that you can’t target a player from a human managed team? Should we allow it but change the rules for it? Or leave it as is?

2. Forced transfer one more time

Hello all!
How works “forced transfer” when I try to buy player from the team with human manager? Who decide about accept or refuse my offer? The board, human manager or maybe only player?

BTW I thinking that human manager should have right to decide first.

2. Thoughts on Passing Style in Player Tactics

Passing Style in Player Tactics – what is more effective?
I mean, defenders are great tacklers, but not as good passers. So, should they be given a SHORT Passing Style, to ensure great accuracy?
However, being so close to goal means that any failed passes could easily result in an opposition shot on goal. Therefore, should the be given a LONG Passing style to ensure the ball is moved far away?

I found it difficult to determine how successful changes in player tactics actually are. Looking at match reports and player statistics in-game is difficult to see any patterns for success when varying my approach. I consistently lose regardless of my approach.

I am sure I could be doing this better, but I am curious as to your thoughts on this.

Thanks,

- Our new logo is on the frontpage;
- Heatmaps are now more useful. I still plan to do a bit more to them;
- Managers online are ordered by last activity (not sure why we didn’t do this before).

Your coach reports for potential and next step will now be more specific when your player has already reached his potential. There is no pointing in hiding this information or making it subjective.

Northstar: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95464?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en

Its a window often used for software testing, because it “start things from scratch”. It also doesn’t leave anything behind (or it shouldn’t)

Since the recent updates I’ve been experiencing some downtimes throughout the day, although they usually last only ~5 minutes. I just try refreshing the page every now and then, and after a while it works

The message I get is “Proxy error”

I have always used Chrome to access the game

Hey Danilo. Ok i’ll use Crome for now till u can fix the problem which im doing right now as the site is down again for me on Firefox lol.

Ok, this is definitely related to ssl then. Looks like a that time, your firefox can’t verify the authenticity of our certificate for some reason. Normally verifying the authenticity involves being able to connect to the validating authority. I will do a bit of investigating, but for now just use chrome as a workaround please.

Yeah the address is exactly how u have put it. Still dont understand why its only after 9pm tho every single day. Im using firefox now and everything is fine.

After the last league match, the following will happen to a team which has been relegated from the bottom league of a country:

• Any friendlies scheduled for the remainder of the season will get cancelled
• The manager will be fired
• The team will not accept any job applications
• All players will be transfer listed with a waiting period of 6 turns for the transfer to be concluded

The last item is the real change here. Currently the players from inactive teams are released for free throughout the season, which became an easy source of money for the already richer teams. By selling the players instead of making them available for free we reduce this advantage. Any players not sold before the season tick will still be released for free at some point in the following season.

Interesting, so it’s something specific to your Firefox…have you noticed whether or not you have https in the address? Like this: https://goalfc.net

Update : So yet again using Firefox the site is down after 9pm. However ive tried using Crome and it works. Still dont understand tho why its fine all day on firefox but not after 9pm!

All i get is a white screen with “Secure Connection Failed”

The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

Whats an incognito window?

1. Topic: General

If you use chrome, try opening an incognito window and accessing the site through it.

This is bizarre, I wonder if there’s anyone else affected.

Thanks Gabriel. The game is fine all day but once it gets to about 9pm it goes down. If it goes down again tonite i’ll try using IE and see if that helps.

That’s really bad! What still puzzles me is that nobody else has reported this, and we have other users in the region. I’m in Australia and constantly in touch with people from Brazil who play the game and I’m sure we’ve accessed the game at the corresponding time in our time zones without any issues.

We’ll see if there is anything more we can find out about this, please keep us posted if anything changes for you, good or bad.
