Yeah, in a few cases the CPU is loaning players and not using them…I’ll have a look at that.
It depends on how quickly they’ve developed until that age, in some cases they might have reached their maximum already.
I see you already found a solution for your mistake…the only thing I could do in this case would be undo the transfer.
There was a bug preventing cpu teams from buying players, should be fixed now.
Cheers
From Davison in the admins only topic:
“what about past seasons does it give you credit time served and what you have done for the club ? or is it just from this point on this will be the case ?”
The answer is no, past seasons doesn’t affect the bonus / penalty in the current season. This change is only applied during your first season in a club.
Proportional performance bonus / penalty for final league position now in place. In other words, if you join a team after the league has started the performance bonus / penalty given to you when the league ends will be reduced to match the amount of time you were in charge of the team during the competition. For example, if you join a team exactly in the middle of the season and at the end your final position was bad enough to give you a 4% performance penalty, now you’ll lose only 2%.

Sinto desapontá-los mas não fizemos nenhuma mudança na simulação da partida :)
English: this topic is asking about changes in the match engine, I’m just saying there were no changes recently
Not yet, rules are still the same.
It seems it was just a mistake setting up the formation.
They still prefer to buy or hire players from free transfer, but that may change when I create the different profiles for cpu buying behavior.
CPU transactions shouldn’t influence the player prices, but as a result human managers probably got a lot of money and started spending big time.
I’m checking with the manager. Thanks for bringing it up Gustavo.
CPU teams are now capable of loaning players from other teams. They won’t loan their own players out or bother with renewals, but it’s a start :-)
Cheers
I was indeed. It’s now done :-)
Different types of “cpu managers” sounds like a good suggestion. In this case I would definitely implement the old behavior mentioned by Paulo as one of the types. We moved from an extreme to the other without a real benefit.
Not really, the ratings do not currently affect player development.
Revised CPU buying behavior to reduce the allowed amount of money to spend on a given player. This is to reduce the number of teams bidding for players with unrealistic transfer prices. All feedback is really appreciated and can be provided on this topic: http://www.rubysoccer.com/forums/1/topics/2160

This example was given in the topic about the new cpu buying behavior. I’ll revise the formula that calculates the amount of money a cpu team is allowed to spend on a given player. It’s based on how the player compares to the ones in the same position and the amount of money available.
Well, they do have a logic to limit the amount of money they will spend on a player. It depends on the impact the player will have on the squad and the amount of money available. Maybe the next step now is tweak this formula.
Option 1, they will have the same ratings regardless of their skills.
Glad to hear that. Seems the improvements weren’t small after all :-)
CPU buying behavior is still being worked on but it should already be possible to notice some small improvements in the market. A couple bugs were also fixed on this logic, they pretty much made the CPU teams make some dumb decisions regarding defenders and old players. Give it some time and let us know what you think!
Cheers
Wow! Something weird happened. FastTicker had its season tick recently and the competition were generated fine. Nothing we can do at this point but wait for next season :-(
It is really supposed to work this way. During the group stage the attendance is not that high, if you check the other matches you’ll see they have attendance between 30k-50k. If the team is doing well in the league the attendance is definitely higher than that.
Just to complement what Filipe said: players use all skills depending on what they are doing (passing if they want to pass, dribbling if they want to dribble, control if they are running with the ball or try to intercept the ball, etc). The player skills do not influence his decisions during the match, i.e. a player with passing higher than dribbling will not pass more often because of that, this particular decision depends on the player position and your passing frequency and distance tactics.
Cheers
This topic is great guys! There is too much to comment about but I’ll start by saying the mixed CPU buying behavior suggested seems like the way to go. I’d also like to add more imperfection to CPU decisions, allowing them to also make weird decisions in picking new hires and youth players to keep.
Let’s raise the fun level together ;-)
I’m back guys! Just for the record, Roman’s problem has been solved by Danilo a couple days ago :-)
Filipe and Dhimitri nailed it, we’ll now have 8 groups in SA competitions as well, increasing the chance of Brazilian and Argentinian clubs have a better performance. Another good point to mention is that, even with an extra round on European competitions as we had last season the number of points a team could make in Europe was exactly the same as a club in South America, i.e. both teams starting on qualifying round and winning all matches until the title would have the same number of points.
Hmmm, good point. I’ll put the contract start date back 1 season to fix that.
Cheers
I hope most of them are fixed by now. We have a little encoding problem with the new names ;-)
