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.
You’re not the first to say that coaches give you less info than scouting…maybe coaches should actually give you a view of improvement for each skill? Or maybe total number of improvement points expected across all skills?
Scouting specific players used to be an option in the past and we can definitely bring it back following the same model of other scout reports: you request it and wait for completion. More scout search options should not be a problem either, they haven’t caught up with later additions such as player traits.
From what I can see the team can still handle it for now. We have other mechanisms in place to balance CPU team finance if need be. Thanks for reporting anyway.
Thanks for the links above, at least now I have a pretty good idea where to look for the bug!
Currently there is no way to have more formations, I’ll add to our TO-DO list.
Home match…in other words nobody is penalised.
Even though Joseppi’s comments make sense I still feel something may not be working as intended. If you have a specific match where this has happened recently please let me know so I can check the match replay and commentary.
Substitutions should happen at the requested time if the criteria is met. If the criteria is met after the requested time the sub will happen then. Example:
After the minute 55 if I’m ahead replace A by B.
If at minute 55 you are ahead, sub happens. If you were not ahead at 55 but then gets ahead on minute 80 then sub happens. Of course that is assuming you haven’t exceeded your 3 subs in any scenario.
I’m sure his previous team did not focus on what the player needed to improve. I know that CPU teams don’t, they only know how to improve them by playing matches, they do not loan them out if they need to play abroad or in a higher ranked country. Thats why I intend to change the way evolution works in the future to be more based on where the player is training and playing.
Yes ;-)
Which team is that? You can message me in game if you prefer and I can see what can be done.
