Hi!
How can I keep track of player evolution?
Sometimes I see the blue numbers in the Team Players tab, however after some games without looking at the tab I lose track of when changes happened.
Cheers!
Some simple suggestions implemented:
-After sending a friendly invitation you stay in the same page instead of going to the team info page.
-Added team logo beside the team name on competition titles page
Cheers!
Forgot to mention in the players development announcement, all existing players that still have points to improve will need 30 experience points for the next improvement. Afterwards the new rules will apply.
Cheers!
New player development system (it’s long but worth reading). The first part is a copy of what I posted in the “IMPORTANT – Player Improvement” topic, so if you’ve already seen it there you can jump right to the paragraph after the example.
-Coaching will be changed so that it does not influence how many skill points the player earns at once, but how often he improves
-When improving a player will earn from 1 to 5 skill points
-Different match types will give the player different amounts of experience points: 1 for friendlies, 3 for league and cup matches, 4 for UEFA Cup and Sudamericana, 5 for CL and Libertadores and 6 for Club World Cup
-In order to improve the player will need something around 15 to 60 points, depending on the coaching level and team division
-Second division youths will start at the same level as a first division youth. The difference between divisions will be the amount of points necessary for the next player improvement, as stated above
-Starting on 16 players will receive only part of their potential every year, 10% in the average so that their maximum can be reached around 25 years old. Of course there will be players receiving more or less potential per year allowing some to be young stars and some to reach their maximum near 30.
-Keepers will stop improving tackle and shooting while the other players won’t improve keeping
-After reaching his maximum a player will have increased each skill by 20 points, in the average, therefore the average total points increased in all skills will be 120 for keeper and 140 for everybody else
EXAMPLE: Consider a new youth defender, 16 y.o.. Suppose he receive 10% of his potential points, it means he will have a total of 14 points to increase on his skills. He plays some matches during the season and improves 3 times, earning 2, 4 and 5 points, respectively. There are 3 unused points that will be carried over to the next season. Now he turns 17 and receives more 5% of potential, 7 points. He has now reached 15% of his total potential points and has 10 points to improve. Let’s say he plays some matches and improves twice, 5 points in each. He has no more potential points left for this season, so even if he plays enough matches he won’t increase his skills until he is 18 y.o. and receive more potential points. And so his career goes.
For existing players all potential is already there, so the only thing that will change is the improvement speed as stated above. Some players who have already reached their maximum in the old system may start improving again in the new system.
We think these changes are for the best. There are lots of strategies that can be applied regarding player development right now. Some may think that coaching 10 is useless as it may improve players faster than necessary. It’s partially true for your own players, but if you hire a player from a team with low level coaching there may be a lot of potential to unleash. Also, high coaching will help you have top players around 25 years old instead of almost 30. For small teams this new system should also be better, as second division youths start at the same level as first division and those who can’t afford top level coaching won’t suffer from never getting top players, they will only take longer to become top players.
Enjoy!
Good players for sale in Torino. Old and young ones. Take a look!

Two small enhancements:
- manager ranking displayed beside manager name on team info page
- formation name displayed on formation invalid status message
It’s done and already applied in the game. Official announcement on the way.
Thanks for all comments and opinions here!
Thank you!!!
The average (mean) age on my team is probably around 20. The median age is 19. That’s just crazy. It should be around 26 or 27. My team, and every team, should have one or two players age 30+ in the starting lineup. I only have 2 players age 30+… and one is on loan, and the other I keep for purely sentimental reasons! My next 2 oldest players are 25. They were my “studs” a few seasons back. Now neither of them plays.
The other 31 players are 22 or less. ALL of my starters are 22 or less… all with 80’s and 90’s skills.
And I’m not nearly the best in Brazil. And many Brazil fast-ticker teams are constructed like mine.
It’s CRAZY in fast-ticker Brazil!!! Totally out of control.
I RARELY look at transfer markets now. Why bother? I don’t often find anything useful there. And if a player is good enough for my team, he is going to cost WAY too much. It’s easy to develop good young players now.
I’m not sure of what to do, or how to do it. But something clearly needs to change. So I’m glad you are making changes!
… next… more countries… and National teams!!!
ps. last year, my team was losing, and I didn’t know why. This year, I’m winning, and I don’t know why! I have almost no “feel” for the matches anymore. Player development feels etched in stone… and the match results feel totally random… and it should be the other way around!
Hi Alexander,
Youth players takes from 60 to 276 turns to ask for a contract. After they ask you have 12 turns to answer. There is no way to shorten or influence this time.
Cheers!
Hi everyone,
I have a couple of youth players who has been with the club for some time now without asking for a contract. Is there any logic behind when the player will ask for a contract? And is there any way of influencing/shorting the time until a contract demand?
Kind regards
Alexander
Guys, happy new year and I hope you all had a nice christmas!
cheers!
Hmm, I ask this question back to our community. Let’s hear more opinions on that! cheers
Very nice. A newspaper is definitely in our plans, and this post is a very good example of something we would really appreciate to show there!
Very nice Simon :D Seems an interview for the RubySoccer newspaper (something for the admins to think :D)
Best Regards
In the past 3 seasons and in the upcoming seasons we’ve seen and we will continue to see some of the greatest players say bye to the game and retire, such is the case of French Forward André Lechat, at 35 years it is known that he only has a couple of years left of playing soccer, although he new has a rating of 89 in shooting he is till an undisputable starter. He has been with Caen (France) ever since Season 1 Turn 1. He has played 716 official matches and has scored 658 goals to be named one of France best players of all times, he has been the Top Scorer for Ligue 1 in France 5 times making season 2 the top scorer of all the leagues with 46 goals. Lechat’s only downfall is the poor productivity in international competitions, with Caen qualifying for international competitions about 12 times in their history, Lechat has played 28 international games and only scored 7 goals 6 in UEFA Cup and only 1 goal in CL, scoring his last international goal in season 8.
Although he has not scored many goals in International matched he is still be considered one of France biggest stars of all times.
Do you have a “Legend” that has retired, is retiring this season or will retire in the next couple of seasons?
Hi Guys,
dont know is you have anything about this, or if you guys are currently working on this, but I thought that it would be cool if every season there would be a Player of the year, the player that made the biggest impact to his team, and help his team achieve great success, it can be eather by statistics (i.e. best average ranking, most goals, most goals in important situation, most improved, etc) or by voting like in real life, have about 10-12 representatives from each country vote for their top 5 players who they think are the best of the game, and give them points (1st place gets 5 points, 2nd place gets 4 points 3rd place gets 3 points and so no…like in real life) that way we can get a player that is named “Ruby Player of the Year” or however you want to name it. what do you guys thik?
eheh Thanks a lot Ricardo! It’s good to read that from a great opponent! Since the begining of RubySoccer that I wanted to go to Benfica, my real life loved team :D Now I hope to never leave, unless they fire me… this season the board ask for all finals eheh
Thanks again, and good luck!
We’ll add minimum coaching level for loans in the future. After the new improvement system is in place that shouldn’t be a big deal as poor coaching will only cause slower improvement, but if the loaning team uses your player on official matches it may be better than yourself using the player on friendlies if the coaching difference is not that big.
Benfica has won 4 in a row in the Portuguese League, and they may extend that this very season. He has done a great job with his team, and I’m sorry that I can’t give him enough competition, as I don’t have enough time to improve the mighty Desportivo das Aves where I wanted ;) Kudos to Filipe, too!
good secondary stats….on sale.
take a look
It would be better if the manager could choose the teams he want to loan the player, and reject the others. I’m trying to loan my players to teams with high couching level but every time other team make an offer I have to remove the player from the loan list and put him again…

Update: almost done with coding the new rules, no tests have been made so far on my local environment. Maybe I’m done today, maybe next year :)
… but there also should be some new income sources:
- tv broadcast I: cash for all teams of a league, depending on the nations ranking and the league table position (champion gets most, relegated teams the least)
- tv broadcast II: for reaching round of 16, quarter, semis and the final should be a bonus paid to the participating teams (for national cups and international aswell, increasing by rounds)
- contract clauses: “re-selling”-percent, when a player you sold gets transfered again you get e.g. 1% of the new trasfer fee; this could be selling contract option
…
… currently money an come from sponsors, merchandising, tickets and sales. the first three sources should be depending on your teams performance. selling player is the most direct way to generate cash.
but all sources have in common, that you need a capable players (for your strategy). And the acquisation & development of players is essential. The first years you might need to sell some of your best newbies for building up a stock.
I think some manager just lack some patience and persistency.
Thanks Javier.
The previous season Napoli was a great opponent. Alexander’s team will become a tough client in the next seasons. I hope Italy will become stronger in the following seasons.
Now I have to reach back the final in Europe. The last seasons in CL were unsatisfactory.

I think the problem is that many poor teams don’t have an idea to make some money.
probably there are some rich and less very rich clubs, so what? Like in real life football.
We have to get specific in an economic discussion here, what the goal shall be …
… e.g. wealth for all
… proportional bonus payments for all league teams (participation)
… award winning bonus payments
… tbc
i mean it’s always easy to say the rich ones getting richer, the small teams don’t stand a chance to develope, etc. That’s too narrow minded imov. With some effort everyone has a chance to get big here.
But i agree that the economic system still needs some adjustment.
I think exists a great diference betwen the rich and poor teams. But the cash awards would not solve this problem because the richs would recive more and the gap would grow… only if the awards distribued taken in consideration the expectation of the board for the competition…
Sounds good, but ive never had much money, im on about 2.5mill now and with barcelona I think the max I had was 10mill, which didnt last.
