How do you get the match replay to work? When i click on the link to view the match all i get is a big grey box.
ex-managersim for a couple of years. Won an FA cup in fulltest (I think…) with Wolves… from 1st division yet! Did get them up into the premier, and competitive… but tough to crack the top teams there.
Was Amiens in… Eurotest?… finally developed some really good keepers in that game… figured it out towards the end there. Maybe just because the better managers were leaving.
Joined here early… and left. Wasn’t loving this game initially. Came back after a while… and MUCH better now. And continuing to improve.
FWIW I really like fast ticker… but having problems developing the love for medium tick.
we are planning a big package__ of what we consider CRITICAL improvements that we want to implement in the shortest amount of time possible (the lines in red). The match logic is not there because some of them will deeply affect it. If you guys have any other suggestions that you consider critical, please let us know.
cheers!
Alright, thanks for taking care. Really appreciate your persistent effort on improvements.
There were some players with wrong information about where they were in the evolution path, so I had to make an update to their information. What seems to have happened is that some players stopped evolving sooner than they should even though they were still gaining experience. With my update your player may have evolved to the last stage at once, reaching his maximum potential. From now on I expect the evolution logic to be back to normal, but I’ll keep my eyes opened to fix anything strange before we reach this situation again.
Cheers!
wow! Gabriel started investigating player leveling yesterday. Lets see what we will find out.
cheers!
I just want to add that i find this improvement mechanism strange in some ways … like: matches in league should give a bigger boost than friendlies and friendlies against strong players more than playing against a youth team …
this happened in fast ticker last night:
The player http://www.rubysoccer.com/game/player_info/4291 (age 24, DC with 85 in tackle) improved within 1 turn from 68 to 88 in passing – 20 POINTS !!!! … and he increased without playing a match !!!
hmmm
i know what happened. things will go back to normal very fast. sorry!
cheers!
We still need to figure out what happened, but things are back to normal now, let’s see how the next tick goes. Sorry for that, guys.
Cheers!
Medium tick is stuck at 95%. Fast tick is stuck at 0%.
I logged on this morning to find both dimensions are still updating. Looks like the medium tick “bar” is nearly completed, but stopped. The fast tick is in “update”, but the update “bar” hasn’t even started.
it was away again for a few moments due to translation tests :). but it is really back guys.
cheers!
woohoo. the forum is back.
cheers!
I’ve started to write a draft of the starters guide in our empty wiki. You guys can see it here . Those of you who have some time and would like to contribute, please do. If you’re not familiar with wikis don’t worry, it’s really simple, just create an user in the wiki and you can start editing everything! We and those familiar with wikis will certainly help you! But if you want to contribute and are still uncomfortable with all this wiki talk you can always send me or Danilo the text you’d like to add. After putting together a good starters guide we can start working on a more detailed help.
Cheers!
Well, a friend of mine picked up a team and quited because he couldn’t understand how to play… I disagree, the game can’t be that confusing but it was his opinion, and he was serious!
Perhaps the starter guide, a beginners assistant, a manager for dummies, would help…
Maybe some sort of starters guide and / or help screens would be useful.
I think many managers will come back if they see the improvement. And probably the number of countries at the moment will be the main point why managers left. I also know at least 1 manager who left the game because he was fired after inactivity. Maybe 1 week is a bit less. I know there is an holiday option but I think many managers doesn’t know this…
Cheers
Excellent :)
Thank you Gabriel.
Don’t worry Carlos, the “2 turns left” appeared due to the price change. Every time you change the player price there is a 3 turns wait so that managers have time to see your change in the transfer list. He won’t negotiate with managers offering less than the price you asked and any manager bidding on your player will receive a message when you change the price.
Cheers!
I have search through the forum and found anyhting.
Is there any rule for firing a manager when the club economy goes < 0 $ ?
Sorry, if there is any topic with this info.
Not sure if this is a bug, but…
One of my players was transfer listed with a price of 3,5M. I had one offer of 2M, and decreased the price (it’s 3M now). I do not want to sell the player for less than 3 millions!
The player used to appear on the transfer list like this:
Selling players
Fábio José
-————————————
Since then, it changed to:
Selling players
Fábio José
turns left: 2
-————————————
on the right side of the page, there’s the following information:
Selected Player
Fábio José
transfer price: $3,000,000
Current Negotiations
Boavista ($2,000,000)
-————————————
Did the indication of “2 turns left” appeared due to the price change? Please, tell me that he’s not going away for less than the value I’m asking! :)
Thanks.
difficult decision. I will talk to Gabriel, but for now I am thinking that the best decision is to wait until we implement the rest of our initial plans for strategies and tactics. After that, we will send an email to everybody that was our user once and it is not anymore, inviting those people to check our improvements out. That will hopefully bring some managers back, giving us more options. We can also start some free advertising after that – we don’t have any advertising at all.
cheers!
I support the idea of cutting the first division in two and remove the second division. I took a look in fastticker and there only is a problem in Brazil, Spain and Portugal. But maybe you can solve this by adding new countries. I think many managers wait for new countries and will choose a new team in one of these new countries.
I suggest that you first add some new countries (with already a 1 division in two pieces) and afterwards you can remove the 2 divisions in the 8 existing countries (and replace the cpu teams by managed 2 division teams if still necessary)
Or you can maintain in the most popular countries the 2 division (I think this is an option for Brazil, Portugal and Spain)
Maybe you can send a message in the game itself to ask who will choose for a new team or to let everybody know that this discussion is an important one.
Then also managers who don’t look at the forum can give their opinion if they want. And everybody knows so nobody can complain.
To Polat: I don’t find it a problem to play 4 times against the same team, cause the smaller division will be stronger then the one right now. And if you have a bad season you also can play against relegation. Otherwise there will be no goal at all for smaller teams. With this smaller league it’s also possible that a smaller team (who normaly play for relegation) can qualificate for the european/sud american competitions if they play a great season.
e.g. in Italy there are each season different who play for the CL and UEFA cup places.
So I would say cut and add more countries (Netherlands, Belgium, Turkey, …)
Cheers
I like the idea of scout, now one list of players became very easy to search for players is bad, because this would facilitate for those who have access and dispute would be unfair for players . I think it should be more difficult, for example, the transfer list page should be by division.
good point gabriel but i still think that you should cut the second division and if there is teams being managed in the second devision just replace them with the computer teams in the 1st div, there mite be a few left overs but you can just put a few extra teams in the league. better that playing each other 4 times. like i said ruby needs a bit more variety, the more variety the more people are satisfied and once the leagues are full we can still put the second div in. all we need to do is attract people at the moment.
cheers…
About the: leagues would have just a few matches, so you could end up with long periods without official matches;
As I suggested: two rounds in season:
- Two rounds would be more competitive, a team would play their biggest opponents 4 times instead of 2;
- Lower teams would receive more money as they will receive top teams twice at home (tickets).
Cheers
Hard decision, to cut or not to cut :-)
Cutting out second divisions:
+room for more countries without having cpu managing most teams
+we’d stick with a good number of teams in the league
-would probably require a reset
-small teams wouldn’t have the challenge to avoid relegation
Cutting first divisions in two and remove second divisions:
+we’d still have the challenge of avoiding relegation
+room for more countries without having cpu managing most teams
-could also require a reset as some second division teams have managers
-leagues would have just a few matches, so you could end up with long periods without official matches
Let’s keep this discussion rolling for a while.

Dave, I’m glad you came back to check our game and decided to stay due to our improvements. I’m pretty sure that if all those who left the game (cause it was still too simple and not bug free in the beginning) came back as you did we’d have a lot more users and wouldn’t be discussing a way to add more countries without having lots of cpu teams, we’d be simply adding the new countries :-)
Cheers!
nuh i rekon we should give people more variety by cutting out second devisions and putting in new leagues because if i was a new manager i would rather a good team than a small team name wise. i think you guys would get more managers if you scrap the second devision and put in new leagues.
cheers…
I am also against cutting out the second divisions. For now we only suggest players who want more human opponents to move to more populated countries. We will still think about other options.
cheers
Just checking :)
Are you sure you read the part of leveling and cutting leagues to half the teams instead of cutting the second division!?
Hope you did…
