Probably wont even make the Euro League now, dropped like a stone.

Are results just purely random? Having superior players at every position is obviously irrelevant.

When form turns bad, what do you do? When do you notice it, how do you mitigate its effects?

I was #1 in the English Premier League. Since then, 5 draws, 3 losses.

I am overdue to fix stuff, any suggestions?

Hi,
has a change been made to Coaching screen? The Coaching – Report View screen now does not let me organise the columns.

When I want to check my coach reports, I just go there, and organise it by the Age column. That means I can easily see at the top, the most recent report results.

Can we get it back or at least have this page organised by Age descending? Such a pain now to check coach reports.

Regards,

Hi,
I just had a penalty shootout and my guys who scored do not show their penalty goals in their stats.

For example, my Defender scored the final penalty kick goal. However, in the Team and Individual Player Stats pages, he still has ZERO penalty goals, and ZERO goals overall.

Without his goal, we would not have qualified for the next round, I had assumed that these all count as legitimate scores?

Regards,

Hi,
When I run a coaches report, it recommends ‘coaching level x’.

When I set up a player to loan, there is no option to require the team to have a coaching level.

Hi,
I assume National Cups are not considered International Cups?

Negotiations investment was 8. It is now 10. Sure could’ve used that guy last game.

Hi,
I offered a contract a little higher than what was expected, for the length of time requested.

The player cancelled negotiations as it was too low.

Well, jeez. I feel like an idiot for offering what I was advised to offer.

WTF? And now I’ve lost the guy. For no good reason at all. A broken mechanic.

The NBA is the best. But why are managers spending ruby money to rename soccer players to NBA greats?

Weird.

Yes, had a similar situation in Euro League a few seasons ago.

Only Liverpool players scored that day, unfortunately, the opposition had a guy of mine, and he scored on me.

Perhaps another option in the loan drop down list:

Hi,
Next step reports vs Evolution Stage reports often provide contradictory information.

Next Step I’m not sure how this player can improve.

However, I have had numerous players where their new Evolution Stage report still maintains that the player can still improve their skill points.

When this happens, I re-run both reports, and often the reports stay the same.

For example, Henrik Simonsen, he is 89 shooting, and Evolution Stage says he will be 94-100, yet multiple Next Step reports say he wont improve.

Thank you. I’d definitely play a full season in the 2nd league again purely for more testing.

Ahh, ok. I played soccersim back in 2000, totally addicted to it, then 1 day it just turned off omg. Let me know if you ever think of turning this thing off jeez.

Hi,
I was in the English Premier League, got demoted in Season 85, promoted in Season 86, and now I have finished in the Champions League for Season 87.

The season I was in the lower English Championship League, I ran the season in 4 game chunks. I tried out all of the formations I had been using, really found that some just did not work. In fact, I was surprised that I was able to get promoted.

From a tactics and player positioning perspective, I have not been able to identify how the variations impact games.

My players have remained pretty much the same over these past 3 seasons. Only as slightly worse keeper, and a better midfielder is all I have been able to achieve. I still have not worked out how to integrate young players into my senior squad without sacrificing wins.

Even after all of these years, I am still addicted to soccersim. Thanks for keeping it up and running.

How many senior players on your team have your brought up from Youth?

I’ve got 3 which are close, but there are often loaned out as they are not quite good enough to start.

You?

Why was this an option in the recent vote? Why would it be needed? I log in and use the game fine via my Samsung mobile.

You previously fixed up an issue, so now I can substitute keepers, so its all fine as far as I have noticed.

Thanks,

Any great player is crap when he develops a negative trait.

Hi,
looking out across the landscape, there are so many terrible players out there.

These player traits really destroy this game, too many are negative, dial it back a bit. Does every player have to be crap? I mean:

- more likely to get injured -> unplayable
- more likely to receive cards -> unplayable
- uses more stamina -> useless
- Plays worse against teams with a class worse than his team -> may as well chop off half a leg

Really? These are the qualities we expect from players in the Premier League or in Brasil?

and, has anyone actually developed a decent youth player of their own? The traits are always such a downer, no point to even bother giving a youth player any time, cause they will just develop useless traits.

and, since you love traits so much, why cant I have multiple POSITIVE traits. Do NOT put out multiple negative traits, that will just kill every player.

Hi,
to buy a player on another team is terrifying. It costs how many times their estimated value?

How come there is such a discrepency when selling players? I doubt I could even get double for high skilled players, let alone anything like the amount I’d have to bid on non-transfer listed players.

Having a limit on the number of players in a squad, and the real loss in money when trying to sell someone is just a bit harsh atm.

Hi,
the vote was interesting, I would say that players who are 36+ should not be expecting wages the same as they got in their prime. Significantly less wages, and 1 or 2 year contracts.

Yes, sort on ability is broken if there happens to be a guy with 100 skill.

However, my thing seems to be working better today…

Hi,
I’ve been messing about with the scouting reports, and now I noticed that the most recent reports are not viewable.

Can you add in an Age (turns)" column like you have put on the Coaching Report?

It’s been like this for a few ticks, and the same result has been at the top of the page each time. I’ve got no idea which reports are the newest (I delete the in-game email messages).

Thanks,

Hi,
so I just got a youth keeper. He looks like he’ll be alright, though is obviously Class E, so my question is:

How do I best develop him so that he reaches his potential as efficiently as possible?

Obviously there is no way I can play him in games in the Premier League.

Nor would anyone loan for him, so no point hoping someone would loan for him and play him in any games.

Is all I can do is put Coaching Investments to 10?

Hi,
why is it that when I initially browse to goalfc.net, that the page I am greeted by is inconsistent?

Often, I need to:
- click on the drop down menu on the right
- scroll down a bit
- then click on ok to submit my username/password that is saved

Like, too much work man. Can we just have the username/password/submit button on the top or something? 1 mouse click, not all the extra mentioned above for no good reason.

Just make the interface simple to log in.

You know, i still have no idea how to win a match in this game.

Over a season, my squad often gets high enough to make cup matches. Ao i mostly win. Sometimes my exact same line up and rules make me lose 0-3 at home to far inferior npc teams.

I have zero ability to understand why? Why does a squad overall go great, but fail so miserably. No consistency.

How do i make good decisions and understand when 4x defenders is advantageous over 3 or 5?

Do you understand what i am trying to say?

Hi,
I still find it rude when a team, accepts a friendly invitation at their home, but ignores a corresponding invitation for away.

I guess the money is no different, but I still feel disrespected and ripped off.

Can we get either:
- the ability to request friendlies with NPC teams and NATIONAL teams
- submit a friendly invitation request, and it automatically creates a home and away game, and the requester can select which dates they are requesting. Thus the requestee can see both dates and decide if they want to accept or not, and do NOT get the option to delete 1 date, but can ONLY delete both.

I got screwed in 2 games where I lost at home 0-6 in total, missed out on getting to Champions League next season and getting into position to win Euro League.

Rather than swear heavily, started looking at what I can do to fix up stuff I see.

Well, I did swear heavily too.

Hi,
the Player -> Traits page has a small bug. This page does not allow you to organise the players list by ‘Class’.

It is the 3rd main reason to look at this page, so would be nice to view players by their class.

Thanks,

Hi,

If I buy a player I already have a scout report on, can you please not delete it?

So frustrating. Especially as the coach report is not capable of providing the information on the secondary skills (assuming my scout report includes that).

Maybe just dump that info in the Notes at time of purchase?
