Not a bug, that’s one of the effects of having “better youths” type of star players in your squad. They basically have two effects for new youth players: their base skills start higher (if you are not already a top ranked country) and they may improve one or more times immediately after joining, fast-tracking their evolution path.
I’ve published it in the Poll Results topic, but basically the option to disallow wage reduction won. I’ve also published what the rules will be like in our Facebook page, here they are:
- players currently in your team when the new rules come into effect will still accept wage reductions as per existing rules
- new players hired by human managed teams will NOT accept wage reduction when renewing the contract; the only exceptions to this rule are if the player lose skills or lose stars
- new players hired by CPU managed teams WILL accept wage reduction
- players will accept wage reductions when being transferred between teams
I will also include alert messages about it in the contract offer and negotiations screens.
I have some additional ideas to change the way competing bids work so that smaller clubs always have a chance, but I won’t get into much detail on that before finishing the new wage reduction rules (development well underway).
I have recently added the option to only return transfer listed players within your transfer budget, does that help? Or maybe you are interested in filtering by estimated value for non listed players, so you can plan your forced transfers?
Another very close poll about player wage reduction, these are the results:
38% – Do not allow wage reduction
26% – Lower the amount that can be reduced on renewal
32% – No change
4% – No answer
It will take some time for any rule changes to take effect as we need to make sure CPU teams are not adversely impacted as well as managers who “inherit” big wages when joining a club.
I only checked averages on a specific competition, not overall season average across all competitions played.
There are 11 players in FastTicker that have played at least 7 matches in the same competition this season that have an avg rating better than Dennis. Still, a very impressive performance!
In fact the requirement is to play in a country at least 3 positions above his home country..so for example if an English player in FastTicker has that requirement he can play in any of the first 11 countries (England is currently in 14th place). Of course that for players born in the top 6 countries that means they have to play in the top 3.
That said, I’m willing to change these fixed steps to something more dynamic, where players can still improve even if playing in your team, but would improve much faster if other requirements were satisfied. While that is not done, a simpler solution would be what Dimitri proposed (to have a step that benefits lower ranked countries) as well as relax the existing step a little bit to allow for top 6 countries or any country above the player native country.
Yeah, I guess the question was a bit simplistic, but I always try to get straight to a specific point with them as there is not a lot of room for explanations. Even if we change that little thing there is certainly a lot of room for improvement in terms of player contract negotiation and what you mentioned in terms of having different wage and contract length expectations at different ages is definitely one of them.
Sobre os investimentos olhei seu histórico financeiro e eles estão zerados no mínimo desde a temporada 83, não foram zerados agora. É possível aumentar os investimentos mas o primeiro deles tem que ser o HQ (Sede), nenhum dos outros pode ficar com nível acima desse. Se não estiver conseguindo aumentar o nível da sede me avise que posso te ajudar.
Sobre o algoritmo não é questão de estar certo ou errado, é apenas uma tentativa do jogo de se moldar aos atributos que estão sendo valorizados pelos managers no momento. Os pesos de cada atributo pra cada posição são recalibrados toda temporada e isso pode gerar essa variação de classe dos jogadores e time. Concordo que seu time tem desempenho muito melhor do que teria um time D, de fato o algoritmo está longe de ser perfeito mas na média não tem errado por muito, espero que essa temporada tenha sido uma exceção (ou então é mérito seu de levar um time em teoria mais fraco a bons resultados) ;-)
Olá David,
No começo de cada temporada o jogo recalibra o cálculo da qualidade dos jogadores pra uma determinada dimensão além de recalcular as classes deles e dos times, baseado na força relativa da equipe com relação a todas as outras. São levados em conta apenas os 11 jogadores que o jogo consideraria titulares e mais uns poucos “reservas”. Dei uma olhada na sua equipe e imagino que ela seja considerada mais “fraca” porque seus jogadores não têm bons atributos secundários, embora sejam muito bons nos atributos principais.
Quanto a nível de treinadores no zero basta aumentar o nível do headquarters (sede) primeiro, nenhum outro investimento pode ter nível maior do que o da sede.
Added report age and proper sorting, hope you guys like it ;-)
Improved the player tooltip in the formations screen. It now contains the player’s pressure handling and traits. In addition to that the skills are shown in the same order as in other game screens.
It is a decent player for B teams or lower I think. I agree there aren’t that many with the same characteristics available, but maybe those who could use the player would rather try to invest in younger ones that could become even better than yours? Or maybe it’s just that not everyone checks the forums :-)
Thanks guys, I’ll have a look at both things!
The message is not wrong, just unclear I guess. You have one GK transfer listed and the other one loan listed, that’s why you see the “small squad” message, the board does not count loan listed and transfer listed players so it considers him to be the only GK your squad is keeping at the moment.
Another couple improvements to scout searches:
- when you update inactive scout searches they automatically become active
- scout searches now have a sequential id that is referenced by in-game messages that advise you an on-going search has failed to find any suitable players
It is the best you can do to start with. Once he reaches a reasonable level I would try to loan him and see if he improve by playing matches (or you wait until the report tells you he needs to play matches). If you can’t loan him when he requires playing matches you can even play him in the field instead of as a GK, it still works (I know, unrealistic but can be pretty handy).
Despite the random factor there are some teams that win more than others. I would recommend trying to get some tips from the top managers or even try to watch their match replays and understand which player skills they value most. I usually do the latter.
Changes released earlier this week:
1) You can now create Reminders to be automatically sent to you in a future turn. They can be accessed from your Mail screen in the top right corner sub-menu
2) Fixed bug on coach report result where minimum predicted main skill could exceed 100
3) Scout reports are not deleted once you buy a player, they will still be accessible from the player info screen until they expire.
Should be easy…we can probably show a sequential number for each of your searches and include it in such messages.
Hmmm…that should only happen in a mobile interface or if your browser window is not maximised in a desktop/laptop. In any case I agree it is not nice and we should have the login option front and center in the home page!
At this stage random is more likely.
Friendlies against NPCs would be alright, we just need to add some logic to make them accept only in out of season dates. National teams sound interesting too!
Not so sure about forcing friendlies in pairs to ensure the away matches are accepted by the invitee. One way to work around this is first sending just the invitation to play at your home and then, when that match is close enough and can’t be cancelled, you send the invitation for your away match. I know, a bit cumbersome…I’ll think about what you said :-D
If only Spartak Moscow had that sort of money :-)
Who knows, if I switch teams by the end of the season I may have enough money to afford him.
Errr…yeah, it is a known limitation of this page at the moment :-/
I’ve tried to fix it in the past in a nice way, maybe I’ll do it in an ugly way and allow it to be ordered like we allow the Position field.
Notes is not good, I plan to leave the scout report available if you had it before buying. It will still get automatically deleted after 3 seasons (that’s what I think is the expiration today).
I haven’t managed national teams for a while so I don’t feel your pain. That said, I can definitely understand how things like average ratings and recent stats would help in the selection, but traits would be mostly useless for national squads, with few exceptions of course.
p.s.: lately you have been giving us lots of ideas and providing important feedback, thanks for that :-)
We are definitely missing out on lots of great retired player statistics! I’ve started doing something about months ago but abandoned the idea to start something else (don’t remember what exactly but I’m pretty sure it was economy related).
Dimitri is correct in terms of averages, but there is no guarantee on the final result, even from scout results. I’m keen to take a look at what can be done to the way players improve and the use of coach/scouts, but it’s definitely going to take some time.
Nice bug! Unfortunately I know for a fact that a player will never get to 101 in any skill.
Thanks for reporting.
