Very good keepers are hard to beat. Maybe too hard. If the shots were from long distance it would also be an explanation, as long shots are easier for the keepers. We’ll have to make some tests :)
Hard to say, but hopefully until the beginning of next week.
Voting is fine, there is nothing decided yet :)
We plan to have a formal system for voting important change like that, but for now we’ll have to use the forums.
So far Parag and Philipp vote YES and Sly votes NO.
I’m working exactly on loan clauses! You’ll be able to set the minimum coaching level desired and the maximum number of official matches your player can miss. If the other team fails to meet the coaching clause it will not be able to loan your player. If he meets the clause but downgrades the coaching department below the minimum level afterwards, the player will return to your team. The same happens if he misses more official matches than he was allowed to.
I’m back!
You’re right Parag, you’ve read it somewhere. There is nothing implemented yet so I didn’t forget to tell you anything this time, Danilo ;)
What I plan to do is, as Parag said, give other players some kind of bonus when elder players are in the field. Not sure how it will work yet, I’ll post something about it when I start implementing.
Cheers!
Hello everybody, just got back from my trip :)
I like Philipp’s percentages, sounds reasonable. Currently what we have is around 20% for each season on youth academy and around 10% in the following seasons. So we could have 3 different scenarios:
-youth player leaves academy on 16: he will have 20% when he is 16 and 10% in the following years – reaches maximum with 24 years old
-youth player leaves academy on 17: he will have 20% when he is 16 and 17, and 10% in the following years – reaches maximum with 23 years old
-youth player leaves academy on 18: he will have 20% when he is 16, 17 and 18, and 10% in the following years – reaches maximum with 22 years old
If we change to age-based instead of youth academy based we could give around 15% of potential per season until 19 years old (and the player would earn 1.5 times the regular amount of experience points from matches), so when he turns 20 we’d have around 60% of his potential already given. For the following seasons the player receives around 10% of his potential per season, reaching his maximum from 23 to 24 years old, in the average.
With coaching 10 your youth needs around 15 experience points for each improvement (sometimes more, sometimes less). With 2 cup games he earned 6 points and with the 20 friendlies he earned 40 points, a total of 46 points. As I’ve just checked he is almost improving again, he must have improved twice since he joined your team. Each time he improves he earns from 1 to 6 points to be distributed among his skills, so he improved from 2 to 12 points so far.
I think we could wait a little more before changing it again, but if the general feeling is that the system is ruined we can certailny do something about it :)
My first suggestion would be raising the minimum number of points earned during an improvement from 1 to 3…or maybe increasing the odds of earning more points for youth players. Any suggestions?
Too bad you’re leaving us Onyros, hope you have time to come back soon :)
Would a 1 tick per day dimension help? ;)
When you say back in the days, are you referring to SS/MS? Cause we’ve got the european name files from Peter Strand himself. Some of them have been modified to contain more realistic names.
Yeah, I kinda missed the group stage message for international cups. I’ll create an enhancement for that ;)
You and Mn United managers have two common IP addresses recently used. It could be someone who player RubySoccer from work or college that you don’t even know.
Unfortunately I can’t do anything as such recent common IP addresses exist, otherwise other managers with not so good intentions could start asking for exceptions ;)
Should be fixed!
It’s hard to tell Sly, I may be able to come up with something until tomorrow, otherwise it won’t be ready until the end of next week as I’ll be out until next wednesday. But don’t be annoyed Sly, I’m sure your player will have enough time to fully develop :)
I could loan a player to a friend of mine for he to play just one match and then recall him…of if the player wasn’t loaned to my friend’s team but to another team I recall him. These are the kinds of abuses I’m thinking about :)
I’m pretty sure everybody will be more comfortable when there is a contract clause saying your loaned player must play official matches otherwise he will return to his team. I can even cancel the existing loans (at least for those who request it) when I add this new feature.
What about these 2 additions:
- loan clauses: minimum coaching (if the team who loaned in the player downgrade its coaching below the specified level the player is returned), maximum number of official matches missed (if the loaned player misses more than the specified number of official matches he is returned; matches where he was injured or suspended won’t count)
- loan renewal option: when loan contract is ending both managers have the option to extend the loan for more 36 turns
I’m really not comfortable anymore with an option to call back or return the player for free. It could be abused. :(
Yep, it has been reported heraser…looking into it ;)
I’ve been thinking about…this way it makes no sense to define a loan period! We could simply leave the player there until one of the sides cancel the loan. Hard decision :P
You’re right Fabrizio, a friend of mine has just reported it today. I have an idea on how to fix it.
Thanks for reporting!
I’m glad you loke those features cause we’ll have them both! The big club clause will probably be more complex like determining the exact value a team has to pay in order to have your player.
First we need a criteria for that. The manager ranking points could be used, so the manager of the month would be the one who won more points in the ranking. Or we could do it more straightforward like winning percentage.
Hmmm, you’re right Parag, managers can always change teams so it makes sense they have a market reputation or something like that. These days I was thinking about a reputation related to cheating, maybe we could have both.
Interesting idea, Rodrigo. This way we would probably reduce the number of managers who transfer list a player with no real intent of selling him or raising the price as soon as he/she realizes that lots of teams are interested in buying the player.
I’d like to read more opinions.
If I got it right you want to be able to recall or return a loaned player for free, right Sly? Well, personally I think that’s ok. When I first introduced the fine to recall or return a loaned player the idea was to be fair with the other team, but now I see it brought more worries than benefits. Maybe we should try that and see how it goes :)
Fixed!
If you have two players with same name on match replays both will be displayed.
Fixed!
Next time we’ll have first place in group 1 playing against second place in group 4, first place in group 2 playing against second place in group 3 and so on. Semi-finals won’t be predefined, they will behave the way it was before (best against worse). For South American competitions where we only have 2 groups it will be first in one group against second in the other.
AZ sounds good Hopjes. I got the names from a website but if you guys have any suggestions for more commonly used names just let us know ;)
First of all I assure you there is no bias towards teams without managers :)
Two things to consider. Lorient played at home, so you should add 3 points to each skill you mentioned. Also, the secondary skills may give him an advantage. Their striker for example has good dribbling skills which may explain how he managed to reach the goal and score twice.
Anyway, there are some factors to consider or maybe Lorient just got lucky. What I can tell you is there is no bias ;)
I agree Alexander, we’ll figure out a good way to reintroduce this option.
Hahahaha! C’mon man, take a look at my squad, it’s awesome! Rock solid defense, offensive midfielders all over around and José Andrade, a striker which I have no words to describe. I just need to find the perfect tactics ;)
It was born the smallest, staying the smallest depend on you guys ;)
The stadium size was generated based on player wages, that’s why they’re so small. At least increasing the size of small stadiums is not that expensive.
Copied from the improvements topic:
Luc Blomme: “free transfer list
select type of player
Fantastic and thanks for listening
cheers Luc”
Ralla: “New Country!”
Luc Blomme: “Nice one Ralla, missed that one.
I must stop smoking that stuff
I wonder how many managers will take up the teams in season 1
Sylvain, Rik, Boos etc heres your national country
Bring on Australia then i can play against myself
LOL”
