I noticed that this is not the first time it happened, but my question: Does it affects the experience gained?

But gabriel, worse league teams can’t afford high lvl coaches (low cash income). That is already a desavantage at developing youths . I believe is almost impossible for me to make my team be at least competitive at libertadores, no matter how many seasons pass.
My team will rarely develop good youths like big teams do (these clubs already take the best players on free transfer and recive much more cash income). Honestly, at the way it is, I believe Uruguay and Paraguay will never get good ranking points.
So I believe equal youths quality would make it kinda fair. But that’s just me!
Sure, the points difference should be applied in all competitions.
I guess you misunderstood the concept of taking over, Vaughn. You’re allowed to apply to a team with manager only when the manager’s board is 10% or less and you will take over only if the board reaches 0 AND your ranking is greater than the current manager’s. In other words, the board would have fired the manager anyway for bad performance, it is even possible that he will not get fired for bad performance cause nobody high ranked is applying.
i actually don’t see the point in taking over a team without getting fired. If u have bad results and the board is not happy they should fire you, which they do. But letting higher ranked players apply when u do 1 season bad is kinda weird.
.
More points for beating big teams should be nice, also in the other cups not only league.
Bankruptcy rules changes: when you finances go below zero and all your departments are on level 0 a random player will be “sold” and leave the game in order to quit your debits. Previously the transfer listed players had priority on this rule. This change was made so that managers can’t abuse the rule by transfer listing the players they want to be gone when reaching negative balance.
All teams in a given country have equal chances of generating good youths, the chance is lower as you go down the country ranking. I’m not sure if understood you correctly, Humberto, but if you’re suggesting all countries should be the same regarding youth generation I think it would take out the fun of managing teams in smaller countries (specially when we have more).
I think equal chances to have good youths is a good start to help worse league teams
Regarding the manager ranking I believe the quality of the opponents should count. For example, beating Hertha in german league should be worth more points than beating Erzgebirge Aue. This way a manager in a strong league would be able to gather more points in the ranking with good results than an average manager in a weak league, making it harder for them to takeover your team. What do you say?
Don’t worry Luc. The caretaker will take up the challange. Brest was also planning a youth growing season so, no title this year I think. If monaco can still take it down, then atleast we kept the title within the Rat pack :). Then I would feel it’s also my title :)

Thanks for the vote of confidence in the French Lique for the Cup.
Monaco is taking the season off due work commitments, however the caretaker may or may not take up the challenge.
LOL
Fingers crossed on holding our position in the EPL though.
all enjoy
cheers Luc
signing bonus to new clubs will help for the lower teams and get them up there feet but that’s not how it should go. Smaller/younger teams always have low incombe/budget at the start. I think it’s fun to build something up from nothing and then be on the top (although i left AC and joined juve :P). Or from middle teams to the top. What makes it fun if u have a club with your best player being worth 800.000 and u bloody get mills for a signup. You can replace the whole team at once and win the league….that’s not fun is it?
.
Maybe give the new teams a little bit better players and also not the age of 30….like 25/26 orso..
I agree, i manager should be fire for bad performance. I know it´s hard to manage a club for season, and after all hard work, pum….. you get fire!!!!!!
I already point manager mobility, like in real live. Here, that can be arrange by a manager ranking system, than allow manager to get better contract, even when they go to a lower team in ranking. This can only happen when a manager get money at the arrival to the new club. I said it before… somebody disagree….
What happen now is than some manager leave because it is hard to get fired, but it is harder to work hard for 5 seasons (at least), to get just an average team, and with no change to win any big cup. Somebody pointed as well Dave, exmanager with Fortaleza, with all the good titles won….. and now he is doing so well with Nac, but not good enough to fight in CL….. In my opinion, his experience should count, maybe with 40 o 50 Mill signing bonus….. this will create new teams getting to the top, or managers improving from club to club……….. maybe this is said just because i would like the idea to see GETA winning CL under a better manager.
SALU2
Think someone should tip brest for the cup :). That thing has had my name on it for the past 5 seasons :).
if you change the point system for manager then it should be harder to take over a team when u just joined with a small team. Getting fired is i think in all the past situation just because those managers did bad, so in normal board situations you should/would get fired.
I’m really sorry to know that Parag and Reimer have left. I hope they change their mind :(
About being fired I believe it’s healthy for the game, you shouldn’t get a team and be its manager forever. It would be acceptable in a manager game where you create your own team, give a name to it, etc. Here we have real life clubs and everyone wants to manage the most famous clubs. It’s fun to start it all over again.
If you say the way of earning points is kinda weird that’s fine, I agree with that, we still need to find a good way to give points to the managers. Things were worse when this “apply for clubs with managers” did not exist, as a manager could be fired for bad performance even when nobody else was interested in managing his team.
We have some positive examples of managers who got fired from good teams (Michelet from Cruzeiro and Andre Maia from Botafogo) and they simply picked another team to start again. Andre Maia was even able to get his Botafogo back after some seasons.
I understand your concerns, Alban, we’ve lost good managers fired for bad performance (Carlos Costa from Leixões was the first one if I’m not mistaken). This is a very controversial subject in my opinion and we’re willing to make changes if necessary so that the majority can be happy (if there is a clear majority).
Cheers!
This feature should exist in my opinion.
Not at brazil’s league
the way of earning points is kinda weird to me though, get a low newbie team..do good and u get high ranked. Which results in takeovers in teams.
I think firing ppl should still be there if the board isnt happy with the results though
We’ve lost Parag from Bordeaux and Reimer from Juventus, we’ve lost other managers I can’t recall at the moment. We are going to lose more…aren’t we ?
You see, people get used to their teams, they also get very upset when they get fired because someone from lower league applies for their beloved club. I think this feature should not exist. Why should this game lose loyal managers ? And newcomers can become respected members of the community without kicking more experienced players out of the game.
p.s. in real life fired managers find new job, in Rubysoccer they leave.
Hehe, Gabriel, have you counted how weak should be performance to get fired ? I think in real life top managers can have about 1.5 seasons to prove they can stay.
My only prediction for this season is that I’ll be fired for bad performance.
i think it’s kinda early and hard to say with all these changes latelly, so i won’t do any :)
A new season, so my new predictions:
England
League: Sunderland
Cup: Scunthorpe United

Match engine enhancement: improved players tackling decision. At most 2 closest players will try to tackle an opponent at the same time. We expect this to reduce the “swarm” behavior.
Increased the number of different formations allowed from 5 to 7.

Don’t be fooled by his 85 shooting, with high tackle for an attacker and incredible speed and dribbling skills Nicola is a threat to many defenses. His header skill is also a plus, specially now with better wingers usage.

He improved from 82 to 94 in tackle (and the other attributes) the last two seasons, and jumped from 92 to 94 in tackle 3 games from the end of the official season. Given his tremendous growth these two years, he might still have some place for improvement despite his age of 24
I believe it’s not implemented yet :)
