Not sure this is necessarily a bug, however, when managing an international side, you are unable to reallocate a player’s position. For example if they are a MAC for their club side that is how they are for the international side. When you click on the player, as an international manager you are not able to make them a AMC e.g. reverse their position.
I don’t know whether players get punished for playing out of position, despite the fact that technically it is a potential position that they can play at international level. Maybe something to have a think about?
Logic changed a bit, please let me know if things are still unmanageable.
I’ve realised players were now asking for exaggerated salary increases by considering teammates salaries. Even though they will continue to look for his teammates when asking for a new salary they will be less aggressive on their demands now. Also, the maximum wage allowed by the board now takes into account this smarter way players are asking for wages so you don’t end up losing players unnecessarily.
@Joseppi I was suspecting that was the case. I will have a look at your situation but I’m pretty sure I will have to review the board wage restriction, unless your finances are really bad. Maybe link the restriction to the suggested wage…
@Dirk players will not look at the wages of players who have more stars or are “better” than they are. I say “better” because I know the way the game calculates how good a player is does not always reflect the reality. But if you have a similar or worse player earning too much you can expect that to affect the wage asked by a player.
It’s a long weekend here in Australia, so I won’t promise to review the board logic in the next couple days as I’ll be out and about and about with my family.
Gabriel, how smart are the players? Do they look at players with similar skills or at wages in absolute numbers without taking skills into account.
I have a top earner with Mella but he’s one of the best players of fastticker and has a golden star season after season. A normal player can’t refer his wage to such a player.
The board won’t allow me anything over the players current wage, this forced me to sell Tony King and then 3 other top earners but I still can’t increase wages by even a small amount.
Hi Joseppi,
Are you saying the board won’t allow the increase or that the players are not accepting small increases? If it is the board I can definitely look into it, if it’s the players there was a change recently were players became smarter when asking for raises, especially if you have some high wages in your squad.
Cheers
At Reading I’ve lost a lot of money and took steps to reduce the wage bill as I couldn’t increase wage offers. Now I’ve got rid of the big earners I still cant offer a small increase to current players contracts, is this a bug?
Small improvements pack:
- added ‘Hire Date’ column to players contracts screen; the ‘Contract Begin’ column now represents the last contract renewal date
- when modifying a scout search do not receive an alert about losing progress if current progress is zero
- player value is now periodically recalculated for CPU managed teams as well as human managed teams
Works just as well. Thanks!
I wouldn’t say revert, what I can do is add an extra column with the date the player joined the club. The renewal date information is also important as it now determines how soon you can offer a new renewal contract.
It is a minor thing on the same topic: we used to see the first time you signed a contract with a player when you ranked the players by “contract begin”. It was fun to see the vintage o players you purchased.
Now when a new contract is signed we only see the date of the latest contract. Can you revert to the previous model, Gabriel?
I’ve fixed a reported bug where managers were unable to transfer list a player that had renewed contract in the last 72 turns instead of the usual check of hired by the team in the last 72 turns.
In addition to that I’ve released a few more things related to non-transfer listed offers and player status, but they are just informational and are not active yet. There is a new Status tab from your players’ screen that will show you how happy he is with different aspects that matter to him. Once fully implemented this will be used to determine how easily he can be tempted by transfer offers (assuming such offers would potentially increase his status values) and decide to leave the club by requesting transfer and not accepting contract renewals.
Ok great
Take your time to fix it
Cheers
Yeah, I figured the same when trying on one of mine. The issue is related to the new contract renewal model where the new contract takes place immediately and the contract start is updated with the season and turn of the renewal instead of remaining as the player original hire date. The logic to prevent the transfer is looking at that renewal date instead of looking at the original hiring date…I’ll try to fix it today, shouldn’t take long (I just need to find time to do it).
Hi
It seems that it is impossible to transfert list some players of my teams in both dimensions.
I have the message that they are not in my team for long enough (72 turns) but they are …
Medium ticker :
Palmeiras -> Joao Piquet, Juan Ruiz, Olavo Uchoa
Fast ticker :
Corinthians -> Fran Vilaseca, Luca Provenzani, Benido Rincon, Leandro Braganca, Alistair Sims, Benjamin Nunez (can’t change transfert parameters), Gilson Couto, Onofre Assuncao, John Schultheis, Peregrino Santamaria
Cheers
For now it’s just that, you ignore the bid or message the other manager, it doesn’t affect your player or the other manager’s players in any way. I’m also not keen to allow managers to just drop bids as that could lead to some managers potentially dropping bids just to let a specific manager bid alone…we’d need some measures to prevent or inhibit that. When the feature is fully implemented your player may tell you he wants to leave (depending on how compelled he is to move to the bidder(s)‘s team(s)) and while it’s still up to you to decide whether to transfer list him he’ll not want to renew contract and may negatively impact the other players if you don’t accept his request.
If I do not accept a bid for one of my players I just do not TL the player?
How does the other manager knows the bid was not accepted?
Working now, thanks!
That was a tricky one…the issue was you had a non-listed offer against one of your players and that page assumed that player was listed, resulting in an error. This is now fixed.
Thanks!
Just posted a screenshot on Facebook page
Working well for Medium but still not for Fast. I get an error page
This has just been fixed. Please have a look and let us know.
Negotiations tabs is not working
Previously I could only see my offers to other players (new feature) when I had a “regular” negotiation going on (e.g. contract renewal)
Aha, I think I know what the issue is, I will fix it later today. For now I think you will be able to see and cancel your bid if you have anorher type of transfer going on (regular transfer, loan, etc). Thanks for reporting!
There’s a bug with new bidding on not transfer listed players. I made a bid on a computer’s player, but it’s not available to see it at negotiations screen. Anyway, it’s counting for player’s room in my team but I can not cancel bid. Please take a look. Thanks all!
A few improvements in one go!
1) Individual player tactics are now available. You can override your team instructions regarding tackling, passing and shooting for each player in your formation using the new Player Tactics tab from your Formation screen.
2) Contract renewals have been changed so that the new contract values are applied on the spot. You are also able to re-negotiate the player contract earlier than before. This is in preparation for the feature where teams will be able to make offers to your non listed players to persuade them to request a transfer from you. By offering a renewal with a better salary earlier on you are more likely to convince the player to stay in your squad.
3) When asking for a salary value players will take into account the salary paid to his teammates, if they earn more than average he may ask for more than average. Your negotiations department will take this into account when suggesting the salary you should offer.
4) You are already allowed to make transfer offers to non listed players, but for now the target player will not be affected by your offer and it will be entirely up to the manager to decide whether to transfer list him or not. That means CPU teams will just ignore such offers. Of course all this will change when this feature is fully implemented and these offers will have impacts on the target players and also negatively affect the players from the buyer team, this is just an early release of partial functionality.
Questioned about Fabio Moraes’ declaration about the referee on their semi-final match, manager Gabriel Cesario told the press the Sportivo Luqueño’s manager need to be careful with his words.
“I admire Fabio for his achievements but he was talking nonsense about our semi-final. If his players can’t be controlled and get lots of cards it’s not my fault. I had two injured midfielders that would tell you a different story.”
It’s the second season in a row Cruzeiro is beaten by Sportivo Luqueño in Libertadores, last season the confrontation happened on the quarter-finals and the winner was decided after a penalty shootout.
“They have a great goalkeeper but we missed too many opportunities during the 180 minutes, I need to concentrate in improving my own squad. After 4 consecutive Brazilian titles in Libertadores we’ll have Paraguay once again in the top spot. They have even beaten us in ranking points this season and will be 4th place in the country ranking next season, very good stuff!” – said the Cruzeiro manager.
Once again the victorious team from the small town of Luque will face the evil forces of the capital for the title of the Americas. This time the contender is Lua de Cristal
Delio Rodriguez, the historical Sportivo player, has said “I came back to Luque this season as a reserve just to see this team go back to where it belongs – on the improvised stage in the middle of the field, holding the trophy! I just want to see us crashing those snobs from the capital like we did 7 years ago”
Mr. Fabio Moraes refused to give interviews after being caught on tape calling the referee at the semi-final “a Cruzeiro supporter, dirty criminal, f*ing bastard”. Sportivo has 5 players suspended for the final for disciplinary points
I understand and I’m glad you think that way as it is impossible to guarantee the game will be bug free. Whenever we recognise a failure in the game logic quickly enough to rectify it we’re happy to do it, that’s why I put you back in charge of Netherlands. If another manager had already taken over I wouldn’t sack him to put you back.
Thanks for pointing out you had another application, I’ve now taken care of that as well by deleting it.
