I too is from the MS generation where I played many seasons aswell. As I recall there was more or less the same problem that some tactics simply didn’t work against others. So this isn’t really a new thing. Perhaps it’s just an illustration of how difficult it is to create a working match engine? I don’t know I don’t posses programming skills. As an answer to your post I do not say that the superior team should win 9 out of 10 against the weaker team. What I do say is, that the weaker team shouldn’t be able to beat the stronger team 9 out of 10 because they use a 4-4-2 instead of a 3-5-2. That simply isn’t realistic in my oppinion.
And to you Hank: Even though one doesn’t master the fine art of cooking, buying the best quality of food to work with sure gets you a long way down the road.
Viva la France :)))
So then, you said if I’ve got better defenders than midfield players, you would make it a 4-4-2…
Would the midfield have a “bigger factor” than defense on the final result of a game? Is there one position that is more important than others? Something I must focus on… ?
How do I addapt my team against the opponent? Should I change the formation ? Should I change how the team move around whether I’ve the ball or not? Should I change pass style, how often they pass the ball? Or neither (Shouldn’t care for who I’m playing against)?
With the same set up I beat a team on the “top4”… And lost to the 17th place in the table…
Thats what I’m trying to make sense.
Uhm, I need to correct you :). I (Brest) lost 0-4. I changed my tactics and adapted. I told my friends at Lyon and PSG, what I did in order for them to also beat Napoli :). Like I said before. France needed to be put on the map, and it was in all our best intrest to see french teams come as far as possible.

We now have a 4th CL spot :)…..let’s see how long we can keep it…..
I’m really sorry you’ve got an itch. It was not my intention.
However, there are a few reasons why I put your name and “newbie” in the same phrase. RubySoccer was buid on the same concepts of MS with the intention of improving it beyond (Danilo can correct me on this). While it may be true you have played for over a year, it is also true some others here have played since 1999. On this aspect, it does make you a newbie, but of course doesn’t take anything away from your skills as a manager. It’s just a matter of experience.
You are correct regarding your players, they are quality. However you are incorrect regarding the importance of tactics (that being just my opinion). As Henry told you, after the first game he lost with you 0-4, he changed his tactics. The rest you know. RL is full of examples that the notion “the superior should win 9 out of 10” is far from realistic. The change in tactics was the thing that made the difference and you yourself showed the proof. I guess it’s time to try a new thing with your team :)
I could buy the finest foods in the market, but I can’t cook like a chef…..does that mean my food will taste great?
> Dhimitri: I’d prefer my name not being in the same phrase as newbie. I get this annoying itch in the back of my head when I read this. I you had taken the time to look at my previous posts and look at the team in Napoli you would see that I value secondary stats as much as any in this game!
To continue the current debate I can only say that there are apparently two kinds of managers here: those who likes the player-dimension and those who like the tactical game. My oppinion of the matter is much in line with JakobK. If you can manage to beat a team superior in all aspects, on all positions – that being both primary AND secondary skills – 9 out of 10 games, then it is a bug and not because you are a tactical god. I rest my case.
It’s too easy to biuld-up very fastly a really strong squad because of loan
You are right Dhimitri but I don’t think the reason for PSG success is having those all-around players. If you look to Napoli’s main squad you will find most of them have high values in all attributes… The same with Hertha, Byern and Benfica… I believe the reason for his success must be his tactics and I congratulate him for that. That doesn’t mean the match engine do not need to be improved as I said in my first post and I’m happy that Gabriel agrees the rating sistem is not working. Many of my players has a avarege rating superior than 9, even in the Champions league. In the game I lost against PSG 2 of my 3 defenders had a 10 rating… That should not happen when they allow the oponents to shoot 17 times on target… I believe this is being changed and I’m looking forward for the next improvements.
That is really truth Danilo, we have many more people coming to the forum share their opinion. That is good for the game. Sorry if my English sometimes sucks but I don’t practice it much so it is a little mess (little ou much :D)

sorry for that misinterpretation filipe… but still i don’t know how much of help would that be in a 24 hour clock??
I’m still struggling with teh contract renewal.
The player I want to keep now has 0 turns under contract, but when I click on him teh only options I get are:
Fire Player
Transfer List Player
Loan List Player
Please help – he is one of my better players and I’d like to keep him.
Thanks
No no no, the suggestion was to move all ticks 1h earlier so it would be adjusted to summer time… No more ticks per day, the same ticks 1h earlier so (at least in Europe) we would have the ticks always at the same hours…
i think there should be refuse bid option for the low bidders and have a MIN bid
well said Dhimitri…
thanks danilo:)
they are suggesting more ticks per day, which in my opinion will never happen for this dimension… it would be an ultimately different matter if a new dimension was created:)
alban, i dont’ know how u can call loaning more players as cheat??? it is a very tough word and should be used thoughtfully. i am sure u must have done your homework before using it though ;) .
if you try to understand the dynamics of creativity, then, u try to be more creative or try to find more ways to achieve success when you have limited resources. so, any team with small amount of resources would be forced to look for loan players. And since it is not prohibited in the current rules and regulations, managers are utilizing their resources to get the best result.
I cannot see how that is cheating. Although i am not sure how much that would help u in developing good players of your own, but that would certainly help in getting instant results.
But then every manager has his own way of working things up the ladder.
danilo, i didn’t mean it to be an offline viewer. i wanted it rather on the same page as match replay. may be we could adjust the viewing area a little bit and have it on the right hand side of the screen. that would be perfectly fine to me.
i never want it to be offline viewer.
this suggestion was made before also, and i think it is in the gabriel and danilo’s plans for the future. but i guess it would take some time.
Well said. I Also think 5 players loan limit should be implemented. If you have more than 50% of loaned players in your squad, you kinda “cheat” – you get results such as victories in smaller leagues and also you save money to buy players in the future. That’s unfair to managers who try to build their teams from the start. Nice idea, Humberto !
Danilo, and what about my idea ? I wanted to search for the commentary logged in to RS in the match replay ? =)
Some teams have a lot of loan players. IMO should have a limit for this.
I remember in managersim there was optional news paper interviews that you could do talking about either your big up coming match or your recent victory or defeat and questions would be asked and you would get a chance to reply and other players would be able to see what you said in the news paper. I would enjoy either something similar where a news paper was generated or forums that would allow players within 1 country to talk to one another. (friendly trash talk :D) I would enjoy the ability to discuss league happenings between people in my country more. People might be more willing to check the forum if it was only regarding their teams country.
Paulo Verde, your name is very familiar from managersim.
Are you suggesting that you move the ticks forward an hour or making it so there are more ticks in a day?
I thought it would be helpful to add that I am running Safari 3.2.1 I should really try to see if I get the same thing with firefox. But I was more interested in knowing if anyone that works with the game has tested the game on mac.
I often log on to check my club with my Mac Book Pro, and there are somethings that I have issues with. For example on my home screen for my club my matchs show ?-? for the score… I can not watch game plays using the java app thing… and when I click on a link to a report or player from my in-game mail it kicked me back out to the log in screen..
Sly,
I disagree with this statement, “You should be rewarded for hard work when searching, to find that “golden nugget” that everyone missed.”, I would rather see Managers fighting over signing player. There is skill involved in finding quality players but making it easier for all players doesn’t take out the skill in know what a good player is. It would make signing quality players more of a factor of economics rather then time spent looking at transfer lists.
Hey stephen, where’s old boy Chris, your everlasting sidekick. You guys still playing TW?
