similar issue now with the loan option (same team, same player – goalkeeper)

Cannot loan list player. Our squad is already too small.

Don’t know if this has been mentioned before… we should have the league/cup names in the player history screen. We only have “league 1”, “national cup”, would be easier to know when a player changed clubs (in case of different countries) than having to check when he signed the contract.

Cheers.

Is there a “board happiness” with our work that we don’t see yet?

I know it might be premature, since you guys say that board expectations can be kind of off with the team’s reality, but once that gets sorted out, i think the board should start firing people. Something like x ticks with the board’s happiness towards you on the lowest level = a kick in the butt. :)

Cheers.

Well … I just beat the odds, 3 youth goalkeepers at the same time plus 2 on the “main team”.

Sounds good to me, my ideia was to give a penalty like a left player playing in the right, should work. It will probably help everybody in selling defenders and midfielders :-D

Cheers!

In my opinion they should take a penalty just like a Left/Right/Center outside his “natural” position…

Cheers…

I think that, with or without penalties, a forward playing as a defender should always be weak… otherwise, it’s just a question of time until everybody stops signing defenders and midfielders :)

Once I suggested giving penalties to players playing in the wrong position (an attacker playing in the midfield or defense, as you mentioned). Some agreed, some disagreed and I abandoned the ideia, even though it still makes sense to me.

Cheers!

I think some people (like me) are having a hard time keeping their finance situation in a reasonable level. In my case it happened cause I pay a couple high wages and have a big squad. Economy is a hard issue but we’ll do our best to balance it whenever problems come.

In addition to that I have some ideias about player training that may improve the players quality and make the market more interesting after we add coaches to the game. We’ll see.

Cheers!

I’ve been noticing that unusual formations aren’t the only problem. Some of the game’s most successful teams play with traditional formations, but using forwards on every position of the field, with some midfielders on the mix. Other teams are even more avantgarde :>, playing with 10 forwards.

For instance, it seems that playing 3-4-3 with 3 midfielders – 4 forwards – 3 forwards works better than the same tactic with 3 defenders – 4 midfielders – 3 forwards. Seems obvious that something is not right :)

Any ideas on why nobody is buying players? Is it because everyone is spending their money on stadium improvements?

We see good players listed with really low prices and nobody bids them…

Cheers.

Me and Gabriel will be out for ~ a week, traveling. We are going to try to check if things are ok once in a while, but we will be at a beach paradise with our girls, so it may be difficult.

That also explains my relative absence lately: was trying solve all my work problems before the trip. I will make it up for you guys.

cheers and have fun!!!

too much money? right now I d’t think so, with the new rules and the stadium reduction I’m having great dificulty to keep a positive finance… And I think there are many with the same problem, at least the ones who don’t cheet :D

A good suggestion, and the scouts too… waiting for that…

Regards

I dont agree with this stuff. As the game goes on we need new ways of fun, and one of them is buying → improving → selling players.
I spend most of the time searching for the best players in the transfer lists, buying and selling and the market balances the things. Why a CPU team pays XX millions for a player you thing it doesnt worth?? Because nobody is selling the best players and the CPU is plenty of money!! it buys the best player it finds !!!!!! in the medium ticker is very difficult to find in the transfer list players over 80, so if I am going to sell one I will ask the money I think he worths……
I think that setting a limit to the number of players a team can have was a great idea, because somehow it forces to sell if you want to buy or maintain the young players, but I think we dont need more control. It is a part of the game.

there isnt any fun searching the market at this moment guys…

there are no good players in the free transfers or in transfer lists (at reasonable prices at least). this makes the game very hard.

everyone is just waiting untill the end of each season when the good players appear (some times very older). When this happens, all managers try to bring the good ones to their clubs but the problem is the money issue. High and totally unrealistic wages are everywhere – because there is too much money in the game right now.

I think the economy of the game is one of the most important things to improve and there are many concepts to implement such as tv rights or sponsorships (perhaps loaning from banks should be interesting aswell), But all these will give managers more money!

we should balance it properly in the future.

When someone fails to wake up in the middle of the night to purchase that key player his team really needs, you are totally screwed and you have to wait until the end of that season to make it right.

I’m a bit frustrated right now because of the poor results im getting – this happens because im failing to get to the market in time..

cheers.

I agreee With Hugo… we should have a filter in the transfer area that only shows us the position we are looking for.. that way the web page is going to load faster and show only my interests…

I think the reasons for that are:

-the players tend to go towards the goal instead of using the field sides
-there is a lack in the sense of marking, “free” players don’t mark other “free” players, only the one with the ball, if he is near
-no crosses or headers
-too many players in a zone is probably making it easier to take the ball from the opponent

We’ll work in the match replay and make it available for everybody before changing the match engine. I’m pretty sure we’ll have good suggestion from everybody based on what you guys will be able to see :-D

Cheers!

I’ve done some research in Brazilian Serie A (medium ticker)and I think that is something that should be analised:

I don’t know if it’s happening in other leagues, but I’ve noticed that in Brazilian Serie A, the formations that are hardly (or less) used in real soccer are functioning better than the usual ones.

Defensively, I’ve seen a lot of teams playing in 5-4-1, 4-5-1, 5-3-2 and even 6-3-1. The last one, besides really really unusual, is doing a lot well in America-RN. America won even the game against Palmeiras, which is a lot better than the other ones (It hurts to say that since Corinthians is my favourite team).

For those who don’t like playing defensively, the 3-4-3 have been the most used and funcional formation.

So, why the usuals 4-4-2, 3-5-2, 4-3-3 and their variations are not working that well, since they should be the most balanced ones? Is this happenning in the other leagues?

In time: In the last game I’ve changed my formation to 5-3-2 and my team played far better than it was.

Added the board screen. It will be empty until next season’s start, afterwards it will contain the board expectations for each competition your team will be playing during the season. These expectations may be a little unrealistic in some cases, for better or worse, but we will try to improve that later on. This screen will contain more information and features in the future.

Cheers!
