Both my goalkeepers have a negative trait “bad on pk”. He stays one of the best gk in fastticker. So I don’t consider it as worse in league competition or international matches with home and return. My strikers only need to score one more goal. :-)
I only consider it as negative in Cl Final or Club world cup when it comes to penalty kicks after 90’. I have lost them on pk’s.

You may have noticed some CPU teams have more than the limit of 40 players in their squads. This was due to a bug that has now been fixed, CPU teams will respect the same limit of players human managed teams have, even if it changes in the future. Of course that any teams currently above the limit will remain so until they sell their exceeding players, but they won’t be able to hire/loan additional players in the meantime.

The field image is misleading, I grant you that. The GK mark in there is only correct if you’re looking at the heat map for the home team. In other words, for the home team the defenders should be at the bottom and the attackers at the top, for the visitor it’s the other way around.

Maybe we could have directed training in the future to remove negative traits?

Do you really think “bad at saving PKs” is that bad at the moment? PKs need serious re-working IMO as at the moment there are way too many saves.

I’ve wasted 60 on such players! Lol, I hate when keepers have bad at saving penalty kicks, keeper becomes useless then to me.

I dont want to spend 20 million on a player who then develops a shit negative trait and/or a positive trait that isnt that good.

It just ruins the player.
It just ruins my money.
It just ruins my team.

Hi,
are the heat maps back to front?

My attackers are all spending their time at the end where the GK is shown.
My defenders are all spending their time at the other end, opposite to where the GK is shown.

The last poll results are in:

24% – keep inactive players frozen in their inactive teams
76% – randomly free transfer inactive players throughout the season

Thanks for voting!

Players will now improve a higher number of attributes in a single improvement when younger and a lower number when older. Previously all player improvements gave them a random number of points between 1 and 6 (1 and 5 for goalkeepers), but now the earlier improvements are guaranteed to give them more (between 4 and 6 and then 3 and 5) and the later improvements will give them less (between 2 and 4 and finally between 1 and 3). The average number of points a player receives after all his improvements remain unchanged. This change is effective immediately for existing players as well, in proportion to the number of improvements left in his career.

The main goal of this change is to have better players than can be used as first team at a younger age, instead of relying solely on old players. This could also bring a new dynamic to the transfer market as managers may be willing to sell “not so old” players knowing they will have to wait less time to renew the squad.

I like this trait for GKs when they are still young and improving. At least then, when I put them in matches to improve skills (always on the 2nd half), they won’t suck as much :-)

I have to agree that this trait is not useful for goalkeepers, but I had this before in some of my players and it seemed to work well for me. I had an attacker that had this trait and I always had a sub rule for him at 50 minutes, and he did pretty well. To be honest I didn’t compare his performance when I did this to when he played from start, now that I think of it.

All players should get both a positive and a negative traits if they reach their potential. There was an exception to this unfortunately due to a bug, but it has been fixed for some time now. Of course if you’re talking about MediumTicker more players will have the bug than in FastTicker, as things take longer to smooth out in there.

Imo the national team is not a better competition. They meet a couple of days yo play a match and the players join their own teams aigain. They don’t train tactics like they do in their own team.
You don’t see the best football in national team competition. The best football is played in Champions league.

You can loan out these players but a striker would become man of the match easier than a goalkeeper.

Plays better when playing on second half only

Why is that considered a positive trait? That is just negative, saw it on a goalkeeper, useless.

The negative feeling you can get is for having players that did not get a positive trait.

I just spent a billion dollars on a fantastic player, only to find that my scouts are not worth @$%! and that he has a negative trait.

Some traits are obvious, like stamina, only plays better in the second half, plays poorly in international cups. Any scout, manager, fan would be able to see this in a player before they spend all of their clubs money on him.

Come on now.

“In real life a player won’t become better because he plays for the national team.”

I actually think he could because
“A player becomes better when he plays in a better competition or in a better team.”

Becoming Man of the match might make some players train harder? I try to loan those players to weak teams (but alas you have little control over that).

I changed teams in mediumticker the past season and I am making coach reports of my players right now. I haven’t seen them in fastticker but here they are: weird next improvement steps “Play for National Squad”. I find this kind of ridiculous. In real life a player won’t become better because he plays for the national team. Most of the players won’t make it to the national team.
A player becomes better when he plays in a better competition or in a better team.

My player won’t be selected for his national squad because he simply is not good enough. So I need to become the manager of the national team and select him so he can play some friendlies. I don’t think this is the reason of being of a national team.
Another weird next improvement step is “Man of the match”. Why would a player become better when he’s man of the match. This would only make sense if it’s inproving his moral or pressure handling but not his player skills.

Don’t get me wrong, I like the improvements but some are more logical then others. Keep up the good work!

But I mean, there’s got to be a limit on the level of crazy.

I prefer crazy suggestions when I have a low Negotiations investment. At least then I know it is a crazy suggestion and should trust my own judgment / be cautious. If the suggestion is somewhat realistic but is not necessarily what the player would accept, you might fall into a trap…

The age in which players start losing skills will now vary between 31 and 34 depending on the age they reach their potential. Those reaching potential while still young will start losing skills at 31 and those reaching potential in the 30s will start losing skills at 34, with the other two profile types in between. It is important to notice that all existing players that are 31 and over OR that are already fully developed will still keep the current behaviour of starting to lose skills at 31, all the others will follow this new rule.

The auto-generated in-game newspaper is now reborn with news about player movements (transfers, starting career, leaving club). The World News tab will show relevant player movements in the last 3 turns (or last 3 turns where at least one player moved). There is also a complete separate section now for Managers at Risk instead of displaying them at the bottom of the User Articles page.

That’s probably advisable. No drop in stats should result in at least a contract of equal value.

Hahahaha! Fair enough, that is terrible suggestion. Maybe for younger players they should at least suggest a value no lower than the player’s current wage?

While I understand the need for a good negotiation team through the investments system, no matter how BAD a negotiating team I have they’d probably never suggest a weekly wage of two hundred bucks. A bit unrealistic. Definitely needs tweaking.

Current wage: $7,351
Suggested wage: $198

I’d fire that negotiator immediately.

I’ve finally tracked down the bug where CPU teams where loaning players that they didn’t really need, and therefore were not using them in matches. If you have a player loaned to a CPU team and you see he is not being used you should call him back and loan list him again. Next time he gets a loan offer he will be much more likely to be used by the team who gets him, now that the problem is fixed.

I disagree. Together with the positive traits, the negative ones bring some spice to the game. A great player might not be so great depending on the negative trait. Also, the trait may affect different teams differently (e.g. “plays worse on the second half” depends on whether the plan is to use the player in the first team or as a reserve) which is another interesting factor
