Match Engine
Some offside situations were not being considered until now: when a player shoots and the ball hits the bar or is deflected a teammate could get the ball even if he was offside at the moment of the shot.
Hmmm, what is so special about this player to not follow the rules :P
Thanks for reporting Ulisses!
We need to make this rule more flexible, that’s for sure. Currently this is not related to the manager nor to any kind of ban or punishment, this rule simply was always out there :)
That’s what I thought you guys would say :)
Congratulations Filipe. You had the guts to leave the victorious Benfica for a new challenge and there you are, at the top again!
I know it is not the appropriate topic and I’ll probably make a poll about it, but since you guys brought it up I’ll ask…what do you think if all leagues had 20 teams instead of some having 20, others 18, 16 or even 10 (Paraguay second division)? I’m seriously thinking about “normalizing” the leagues size so that all countries have the same chances. To do that I’d remove some teams from leagues with more than 20 (div 2 on Spain and England I guess), promote extra teams to div 1 on countries with less than 20 on div 1 and add extra teams on div 2 of countries who need it.
Of course not! Same for match engine and world cup ;)
This is something that was changed recently and is being subject to discussions, so I decided to open a specific topic about it. The idea of keeping the loan was introduced to protect smaller teams who rely on loans to be competitive. You may say it’s not fair for the team which is buying the player, but he knows the player is loaned and should expect the player to be available only when the loan ends.
What do you think, if a loaned player is sold to another team, should the loan be terminated?
Done.
Davison, I guess we don’t need to tell you again to be careful with your words, do we? ;)
It has come to my attention that I might (ooops) have forgotten to announce that loans are not cancelled anymore when the player is sold. Sorry about that.
Shouldn’t this be under FastTicker forum? I suppose this is about FT, right? :)
Brazil can only fall after we implement the extended Club World Cup ;)
I had to say that before Da Mago :D
You swapped the values Nirabdha, it’s -1 for 30 yrs and -2 for 29 yrs :)
It doesn’t matter, it is the responsibility of the team who loaned in the player to make sure the clauses are not broken. The other team has the option to reject or even ignore your termination request :)
In your example manager B would be punished since he was the one in charge when the loaned player missed the last match. I know, it doesn’t sound fair, but manager A was in his right when he made the player miss 5 matches since he was allowed to miss even 6 ;)
I’ll fix that for you Simon. Recently we made a change were a player is still loaned when sold. I didn’t consider the case where he would be sold to the team loaning him :D
I think that was mentioned before. We’ll make sure this is included in the match engine enhancements, since we currently don’t store the number of assists.
No, your loan embargo history is not reset so after letting a player go for the third time your embargo duration will always be 45 turns whenever you let that happen again.
Of course ppl read the newspaper! I gues…anyway, ppl will read when we improve the news and add some interviews ;)
Thanks Chris, shouldn’t happen again!
Loan Embargo
If you let loaned players return for having missed more matches than allowed by contract you will suffer from a temporary loan embargo. The duration of the embargo depends on how many times you let that happen. It will last 15 turns in the first time, 30 turns in the second and 45 turns from the third on. During the embargo you won’t be able to loan players from other teams. The goal of this enhancement is to prevent situations where the same team keeps loaning players without using them.
Currently stamina affects the players ability to recover during the match. The more tired a player harder it will be to recover. In practice, it means those with low stamina tends to become slower earlier in the match.
It is now possible to request loan termination. If the other team agrees the player is returned in the following turn.
The correct calculation is:
Stamina: penalty
100: 0%
99: 0%
98: 0%
97: -1%
96: -1%
95: -1%
94: -2%
…
4: -32%
3: -32%
2: -32%
1: -33%
Beware of your players stamina! Next season the rules will be more strict affecting the overall skills of the players instead of only their recovery after running. Every 3 points below 100 stamina will reduce all skills by 1%.
The away match penalty reduction is still on discussion, so for next season we won’t reduce it for 27-28 years old player yet, we may do that for 29 (-2) and 30 (-1) years old players only. Stay tuned!
This is a known issue, I couldn’t find out how to fix it the first time I saw it…we’ll need to check it again.
Thanks!
Ladies and Gentleman, I give you Peter Strand:

For those who doesn’t know Peter he is the creator of ManagerSim, the football management game that made me and Danilo decide to create RubySoccer. Peter kindly joined RubySoccer to take a look on what we have so far. It’s an honor to have him around! This game would probably not exist if it wasn’t for our addiction to MS.
We’ll that, I agree it’s completely ridiculous :)
I was thinking about punishing managers who do that…if a manager let’s a loaned player exceed the number of matches without playing 3 times we forbid him to loan players for a given period…how does that sound?
