I managed Braintree Town in ChallengeTwo, ManagerSim shut down during my first season in the Premiership :-(
On FullTest I managed some team from Belgium I think…
Welcome!
Some interesting ideas that we can use when re-designing the system. Let’s keep the discussion going :-)
We had 3 FastTicker ticks in a row but the schedule is back to normal now. I’m not sure if I put MediumTicker back into its normal schedule but the same probably happened, 2 or 3 ticks in a row.
The matter is being discussed, we’ll probably fire the guy.
heleno ribeiro did not share IPs with the fake account and claims that somebody may have done that on purpose…I’m not saying I believe him, just telling you guys what he said. We can discuss that with our GMs and try to find out what is the best action to take.
It was considered cheating and the involved managers were just punished today (fake manager identified and banned, other manager fined). Thanks for spotting this Joseppi!
Fake banido e time devolvido pro Paulo. Muito obrigado Félix! Se virem qualquer coisa suspeita relacionada por favor nos avisem.
Abraço
I think things will get better as soon as we have more countries (and 8 groups instead of 4). I’ll review the logic behind these competitions when we expand them.
Cheers!
You can now assign a formation to all your friendly invitations at once. Just use the select box right beside the accept all and reject all icons. This is pretty useful when you want to click the accept all button.
Cheers.
This should be fixed now. Please let us know if the problem persists.
Cheers!
Here are my thoughts and comments:
1 – As Filipe pointed out the rules are not the same for all countries and even though we plan to make it closer to reality that’s not a high priority right now.
2 – We plan to have the play-offs generated from start, it would be much more fun to plan ahead.
3 – That’s the easiest one from your suggestions, I’ll try to implement that as soon as possible.
4 – Each group in the international cups is supposed to have 2 “strong” teams and 2 “weak” teams. Of course sometimes the difference between the strong and weak is not big. In the round right after the group stage the first placed teams play against the second placed teams, randomly. After that it’s always best vs worst, randomly. A play-off structure created right after the group stage (or even before!) would be very interesting.
Thanks for your suggestions!
Now I’ve got it, the problem happens with strategies marked as “apply to all formations”. I’ll have to take another look. No screenshot proof needed, now that you’ve said that I have an idea where the error is.
Thanks!
Everything seems fine, even in your formations. One of your club players is also in the national squad and you have a strategy for him on both the club and national squad formations. Could that be the source of confusion?
Hmmm, they should be separated, that’s how I designed it. I’ll have a look.
Cheers.
Shame on you Ulisses! You should update your “product” so people don’t think RubySoccer is broken! Hahaha :-)
Lam Huot’s skills show as blue to me. I’ve looked Erwan Giry in the database and I can see he’s not marked to have the skills decreased, he still has skill points to increase, given his age. If anybody ever sees that happening again send me an in-game message so I can look at it quicker.
Cheers.
Problem solved guys, it was simpler than I thought it would be. Next tick postponed to keep the schedule. Enjoy!
Something very wrong happened during FastTicker’s season tick…it will be a while until we can figure it out, specially because it’s Sunday morning and we have friends visiting from Brazil here at home. We’ll do our best :-)
Cheers.
Transfer restrictions in place for managers after joining a new team. As soon as you join a new team you won’t be able to buy players for more than the estimated value. The amount you can offer increases slowly every turn until you’re with the team for 72 turns or more. When that happens the restrictions are removed.
Cheers.
Dimitri, the answer to your question is yes, this is still the case:
“Teams get youth players based on their country ranking. So France gets better players than Russia.
Second and first division team have the same chance of good youth players, though in the first division it’s easier (and quicker) to develop players.
So there is no way to influence the level of your youth players, apart from raising your country ranking.”
That’s a good suggestion, though it’s not trivial to implement. As you said, the drag and drop feature works fine on PCs, notebooks, etc, so our plan is to have a simpler version of the formations screen specifically designed for smartphones. If we find a good way to use your suggestion we’ll definitely consider it! :-)
FastTicker back to life. Next tick will be in approximately 6h40, resulting in a 12 hours shift from the previous schedule. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Cheers.
Yes it is. Unfortunately I’m at work right now with no access to our server. We’ll have a look at it as soon as possible.
Sorry guys.
Sometimes contract proposals were being rejected and the player asked for a lower wage, which doesn’t make sense. This has now been fixed. Thanks Filipe Silva for being the first one to report this some time ago.
Cheers.
Hotlists fixed, at last! You are now able to remove teams, managers and players from your hotlist.
Cheers.
I’ll be officially back to work after Easter ;-)
Sometimes GMs get ahead of themselves when trying to help us, don’t feel bad about it. By the way we are back from our vacations, we should go back to work slowly :-D
We’ve checked these guys before and they seem to be just brothers, not the same person. I understand why people would give up a CL spot to get to Europa League (where they may have more chances of going further), but it is frustrating when you depend on their results. This also happens in real life in Brazilian league, where teams would play lazily when their victories would benefit local rivals.
We’ll make sure there is a better consolidated rules page for the game and the forums. We do have a lot of Portuguese speakers playing the game and I suppose it would be good to have language specific topics or forums clearly identified. It could be in the topic title like “[Topic language] Topic title”. English is preferred though when we are discussing important subjects, theoretically the majority will be able to understand and give an opinion.
Calm down guys. Here is the translation for what Lince said:
“From what I’ve noticed Bordeaux’s manager was fired by bad performance and who got the club was Gimnastic’s manager who did not remember having applied for the job and decided to stay on his old club, so the managers were put back on their places ??
Why were them favored ?? When there were if I’m not mistaken 2 other managers applying for Bordeaux and with a better ranking than Dirk. This is simply unacceptable
If he was fired why was he put back if when you’re fired you can’t apply for the same team. I ask the admin to verify the case and confirm that there were more managers applying that should have got the team”
Back to me. I was the one who put Dirk and Gimnastic managers back to their clubs. The reason for that was simple: the guy got Bordeaux by mistake and Dirk wanted to stay at the club. Our system does not store the managers that were applying, once the manager is fired, therefore there is no way to confirm who was applying. Even if we did, there is no way to know if they were above Dirk in the ranking at that time.
I understand Lince’s concern, but those managers that were applying would not get Bordeaux anyway, Gimnastic’s manager had already got the club so the other applications would be dropped anyway so I don’t think my decision did any harm.
Guys, remember we are all here to have fun and this is not the first time we’ve addressed manager’s requests. We always do our best to be fair and do no harm when we have to “manually” interfere, but of course our decisions will not always be good ones.
Cheers.
