Luke,

Take a look at Delfim Alves

Not a kid, but good skills and reasonable price

Mauro, it could also be that, like me, you did not use your points for transfer budget and to add money to your transfer budget when you sold players

Lets say you put those on 0, you had 235 pts (10 grade = 55 pts, 9 grade =45pts and so on) out of 385 possible = 61%

Now you have 148pts out of 275 = 54%

This is just an example…but my guess is that you did not lose all that many points, it is just that before you concentrated your points in a few categories

(and, again, this is just a guess, based on what happened to me….)

2. Forcing through a transfer

From what I know, nothing you can do. And most likely the team will renew his contract in ~3 turns because you just placed this bid.

If someone else bids as well his status will become Critical and he’ll be TLed

2. Coach/scout evolution raport for players

I miss it sometimes but it made everything too easy. I prefer the way it is now

Maybe it could be a tool that was only used a few per season (either a limited supply of scouted players, or take 10 ticks to get the results back…something like that)

Gabriel, comments to my previous post?

2. Transfer dragging on

You will not be able to buy him unless his morale becomes Critical

When, and if, that happens the player will be transfer listed automatically

1. Topic: Bugs
2. Transfer dragging on

The only way to buy a player is if the player is transfer listed

If bid for a non-listed player the only way the transaction is completed is if the player’s morale becomes Critical (usually only happens if you bid for a player with Bad morale), in which case the player will be listed anyway after the bid is accepted (and usually for 2x his Estimated Value)

Also, a bid is never declined. Unless the targeted player has his contract renewed, the bid will just sit there (hurting the targeted player’s morale, and beware, also your own players’ morale…)

What is the impact of player’s ability to handle pressure?

Is it something like players with poor ability lose 3 skill points when playing away matches, players with good ability lose 0-1 pts?

2. Morale

Great!

Just fyi, morale still hasn’t recovered (3 ticks since acquisition was completed). My guess is that it will go back to normal next tick

Sent you a screenshot on Facebook

1. Topic: General
2. Morale

My experience has been that it takes 2-3 ticks after I hired the player for the other players’ morale to go back to normal

I do not have a situation like that right now to take a screenshot, but I’ll send you one next time I do

How long after a new player is hired will the other players’ morale recover?

2. Country ranking

I think it has to do with 2 things:

1) Match performance – every match counts, not only the round you reach. Visé probably got more points in the group rounds…

2) Average per team is what counts, not country total. Germany is “punished” for having 6 teams in intl cups (because most are CPUs…). I checked, and Stuttgart and Hamburger got almost no points for Germany, bringing the average down

Thanks!

If I were not in a country 3 ranks above Argentina, however, there was nothing I could do to guarantee he would be loaned to such a country, right? The only think I can ask for is a country ranked above (at least 1 position) the player’s home country (plus I cannot ask for a minimum coaching level)

This is not a suggestion or complaint, I am really just checking

1. Topic: General
2. Player Improve System

I have an Argentine player for which I got the following report:

“This player needs to play for a team in the top 3 countries or in a country that is at least 3 positions above his home country. Recommended coach level: 9”

I am in Paraguay (ranked 4th best country) and Argentina is ranked 10. For what I understand this player should improve by playing for my team (coaching 10) because Paraguay is more than 3 positions above Argentina, correct?

2. National Team Goals

Considering I won every match with England since being hired and my goal in the WC was to reach the Semi Finals (at least that’s what I recall…), why was I fired from England?

I don’t mind, would probably leave the team any way, I am asking more out of curiosity…

PS: Once I was fired from Belgium for losing in the first match, although my goal was only to “improve the squad”, which I read as “we won’t fire you no matter what!”…

2. Transfer list revamp?

I use my PC and like it in general. I’d like to see full names as well (if possible) and also to rank players by age

Also, when we go to the TL, we could be directed straight to the TL instead of having to select TL/Loans/FT – one less click!

Got it – I had some other offers outstanding. Not a bug then!

1. Topic: Bugs
2. Negotiations

New potential bug (not sure if it is one):

I keep getting messages from my board that “your offer is too high” when making unsolicited offers for human team’s players

This is happening in both worlds. Most recently, on Fast, I got this when bidding $6m for a player with estimated value of $3m. The player is 20ys old so I think the offer is totally justifiable. I have +$50m in cash and +$15m in transfer budget. I also offered $35k in salary, the player currently makes $20k. Why is this happening?

1. Topic: Bugs
2. Negotiations

Seems to be working fine now, thanks!

Btw, great initiative to allow mangers to make unsolicited offers – I can point to at least 3 big transactions that would not have happened otherwise. The market is much more active now!
