Well, my team comprised mostly of veterans has made a fantastic run but all good things must come to an end. I certainly never expected to achieve this level of success. Believe it or not, my board wanted me to reach the group stage. Me and the “boys” (or men I should say) made the superiors proud… Hopefully Marseille can bring home France’s first CL cup!!!
Anyhow, I wish to thank Sylvain (Brest) and my twin brother Charles (Auxerre) for helping me out throughout the past 2 seasons. I wouldn’t be where I am without them…and a very special mention to Luc Blomme.
And regarding the language issues, as far as I know, Francois (Marseille), Martin (Grenoble, Ali (Nice), Charles (Auxerre), and Me (Monaco) all speak French fluently…
Last but not least, despite not getting to finals to play Marseille, I’m very happy and proud to see France gaining the number 1 spot in Europe in terms of UEFA points. I never thought we’d get there quickly since there was a 40 point spread with Spain last season. It’s amazing how things can change so quickly which is a lesson for all of us…never keep your guard down as there’s always another country gunning for the top place. Who knows, we may be the victims next season hehehe.
Bonne Chance Marseille!
1) I have had players OVER 24 growing in a few stats.
2) Coaching level is also a very important (and expensive) factor.
3) Players DO grow if they are subbed at the 55th minute…but not after correct? Also, subbing at the 55th minute doesn’t affect stamina as much.
Nice game of Tennis you got there :D
The Dugout!!!
Graham Andre used to be here, don’t about him know though.
And lastly: A player needs to play at least 35 minutes to gain experience pts. Basically, a player entering the game after the 55th minute won’t get experience! :)
Also:
A Player can unlock only a certain amount of GP per season
For example:
Season 1: 28 GP out of 140= 20% (16 yo)
Season 2: 21 GP out of 140= 15% (17 yo)
Season 3: 21 GP out of 140= 15% (18 yo)
Season 4: 28 GP out of 140= 20% (19 yo)
Season 5: 14 GP out of 140= 10% (20 yo)
Season 6: 14 GP out of 140= 10% (21 yo)
Season 7: 14 GP out of 140= 10% (22 yo)
So, by the age of 22 the player has unlocked all his 140 pts of growth.
1. Players complete their growth between ages 22-24 (there are exceptions)
2. If a player doesn’t unlock all his yearly potential, the remaining pts are passed over to the next season/s
3. If a youth (suppose 19 yo) is not growing anymore the 2d half of the season: It means he has unlocked all GP for that season, so playing him in more games for the rest of the season won’t affect his growth (those games won’t count as EP for the remainder of the season)
“i personally think it’s just stupid. I don’t TL players I don’t want to sell.”
My thoughts exactly…however my feedback was a tad more diplomatic he he he
Is there any possibility of including some kind of end of season “award” section. We could have them country by country and then a global one with a golden boot, top keeper, top manager, most improved team/manager, biggest underachiever, etc…
I remember having these types of ceremonies within the in-game forums of ManagerSim (with the green background).
Questions 1+2+3
The growth system is different from MS
In RS every players gets 140 pts to grow. Goalies get 120 pts
Players get Growth Pts (GP), by accumulation Experience Pts (EP) in playing games
Friendlies: 1 EP
Home Cup: 2 EP
League: 3 EP
Europa: 3 EP (not sure)
CL: 5 EP
Usually a player needs to collect an average of 15 EP (it can be less, it can be more), to get a growth turn. In a growth turn, the player may gain 1-6 GP
For example: A player who has played 10 Friendlies + 1 League Game + 1 Domestic Cup = has 15 EP pts accumulated
The strength of the opponent and the positions you field players don’t matter
Q4
The changes come into effect next season and only for those players who join your academy next season!
PS: Players in the Academy grow have a faster growth rate than those in the first team.
1. no
2. div2 gets 10% less xp
3. friendly = friendly, offcial = offcial
4. i believe after the season, so season 30 goes in on 31 (if you get a new youth player in 31)
I have a few questions pertaining to skill growth:
1) Is there a difference between playing a computer team as opposed to a human-controlled one?
2) Is there a difference between playing a 1st division team as opposed to a 2nd division team?
3) Does the players fielded by your opponents impact growth, i.e. playing a friendly versus a 1st squad as opposed to a 2nd squad?
4) Since youth players have base skills related to the actual country (where he was spawned) UEFA points, when do those changes come in effect? For example, France in FT was 3rd as the beginning but will finish 1st at the end of the season; when would their managers actually notice an increase in the quality of their youth players? Is it progressive over a few seasons or can we already expect improvements in season 32?
I would just like to point out to everyone who cares that France did it :). We are finally the #1 team in europe after all this time. It’s something I wanted to achive for a long time. Congratulations to all the teams that did well!
In EL: AC Ajaccio, Grenoble, Nice
In CL: Auxerre, monaco and the current finalist Marseille. I say, bring hom the trophy :)
So the quarter finals went uderway in England for the FA cup.
First away game for me:
Colchester United 6 × 1 Queens Park Ranger
3-4-3 formation 4-4-2
49% possession 51%
21 shots 11
14 shots on target 9
80% accurrate passes 90%
60% effective tackles 52%
2 corners 1
2 offsides 5
16 fouls 20
The odds would be very against my team QPR for the 2nd match
The 2nd match, my home game
Colchester United 1 × 6 Queens Park Ranger
4-4-2 formation 3-4-3
57% possession 43%
30 shots 12
27 shots on target 8
89% accurrate passes 88%
65% effective tackles 48%
6 corners 2
5 offsides 2
10 fouls 19
Penalty shootout: P.K. 1 × 3
The lesson of today…NEVER GIVE UP!
i personally think it’s just stupid. I don’t TL players I don’t want to sell.
btw for the records…
.
the 3 highest sales from Hertha:
95,0M Florian Stahl (A) to DaMaGo/Getafe ;-)
75,0M Luís Duarte (A) to América-RN
44,5M Julian Moor (A) to DaMaGo/Getafe ;-)
.
The highest buying from Hertha:
70M Marco Freire (GK)
No player is worth more than 65M (currently) in this game. Too many similiar quality players around. The only position that justifies maybe a special pricing is the goalkeeper imo.
I think it must be possible to put players on the transfer list for such high demands… He’s not expecting to sell him at that price. I also have some of my players on the transfer list at a somehow to high price. But that is just because when someone wants to offer the amount I will accept not because I really think he is worth that much!
It is like the minimal release fee for Cristiano Ronaldo for 1.000.000.000… Nobody will pay it but when someone will he can be sold!
What are the record transfers anyway, anybody remembers? Would be cool to know for each position.
I remember defender “Dennis Moutinho” for 155M. If i am not mistaken American Rn payed 150M for a mid back in the days also but cant remember his name.
Yes I do envy Getafe for spawning such a great player Dhimitri. But even if I had the money, I wouldn’t spend that much on 1 player since I could not afford hiring anybody else. Can’t win games by only fielding a super duper mega striker with no keeper hehehehe
well… i think real madrid’s manager should be the one explaining his case… but then since it was your team, it was obvious you would get pulled down…
anyway i will change the heading…
EDIT: i am not saying anything against anyone personally… but then it is also true other two teams will feel let down by Real madrid… These kind of matches should never go unnoticed…
i would love to have him… but then…
i didn’t mean that ;)… dont worry
I think Patrick is just mad he doesn’t have 250 mill to pay that’s all :D
If you love football enough, one can pay a whole country’s GDP just to get the taste of a single player in his own teams ;)
Hey mate,
I wasn’t stealing their ideas :P
I was simply regrouping all proposals in one place to keep track of them
Thanks Ulisses!
Nirabdha.
Please, use another word, or if you think it is “suspicious”, please explain how, because i feel you accusing me of…… and if you are not sure, o well…..
Just to say …. i do not know R.madrid manager, i had other results like that (well only 13-0 last time), my guest is that he use youths and i have good strikers…. i had been the top score team in la LIGA for the last 5, 6 or 7 seasons….. you see, know i sound like i defending myself. UNFAIR … i have being around enough and you too….
SALUDO"
Well, first i will say than i´m not accomplish my goal here yet, so i guess i fail.
Yes, Francisco busta is the best player i ever have, but as i did when i first stated in GETA was to get sold my best players(big money babby!!!!! ,….. and now again i might do that. i have being offer a lot of money and some players as well….(very close to the asking price).
but like i see people getting mad at me i will take him out, and so to be in la LIGA playing for geta.
sorry people, but this is not the weird price tag you have seen. to Patric: do you know the higher price tag sale (it was more than 5 seasons ago….., so it is not so unfair price…..=)))))
saludo2
The level of realism in this game has reached a new point…

It’s great to see managers proud of their accomplishments & player developments…but to transfer list a player with the sole purpose to show everyone lacks tact in my opinion…
Just to everyone knows that he is THE striker!
But if you have 120M you can try to bid him.
