Don’t worry, wage calculation is not related to the player value. When negotiating a new contract he will care only about his current wage and skills. This will be enhanced soon to consider other factors, but the estimated value is not one of them.
Another suggestion: consider player potential when updating the formula parameters. In other words, sometimes you pay a lot of money for a 19 years old player because you believe he still has potential to grow, so you’re paying for this potential. This way some millionaire transactions would not be considered inflation by the formula ;)
I’m sorry to inform you guys that it is inflation. I’ve just calculated the exact value using our current formula and the economy parameters from FastTicker, the players is valued at almost 7 billions. On MediumTicker the same player would be worth 11M. Some teams have extra money and pay millions for some regular players. This raises all prices as we’ve discussed when the dynamic value calculation was introduced.
We all know we still have some economy enhancements to work on. I’ve already started working on something but it will take a while until we have enough improvements in this area. If this extremely high values are a problem I can either reduce the formula parameters manually or go back to a fixed formula as we had before. A third option would be no estimated value at all.
This is what I call inflation! I know, it’s way unrealistic now. I’ll take a look.

Thanks nsg1974! Is javascript enabled on your IE7? This new version of the friendlies page is totally dependent on that. If that’s not the case we’ll have to investigate.
Searching players is part of the fun but we also don’t want to make it easier on purpose, so you guys feel the need for a scout ;)
As always, we can change that if most of you guys think it’s a good idea.
I believe the reason for the difference between MediumTicker and FastTicker is that the first one requires more patience for player development, the stadiums are smaller so there is less money currently available and maybe even the manager’s style is different between the two dimensions.
You mean in the transfers page? For advanced searches you should have a scouting department. Is that what you meant or did I misunderstood you? :)
The Country Ranking page now has a next season preview table displaying the scores for the following season considering the team’s performance in the current season so far.
Just for the record I’ve already reversed the transaction Hank is referring to. There was also another similar problem reported and solved. If you see something strange feel free to contact us in game or in the forums.
We were experiencing problems with our host last week, so we are trying out a new one since Friday. This is not a final decision yet and feedback like yours is important to help us deciding what to do. I agree that the site is not as good as it used to be. :(
Regards.
We’re trying to figure out what is going on guys. Danilo has just changed something in the server, please let us know if this happens again.
International Cups now have a qualifying round and a group phase! It has been asked a long time ago and we’ve been postponing it until we had enough countries, but then we decided that it would be fun to have these rounds right away. Due to this change the competitions will start 12 turns earlier, matches had already been moved. There may be some conflicting friendlies scheduled to the same turn, we’ll take care of that soon. Please let us know if we miss any conflicting match.
It’s an estimate of their market value based on his skills and the transfers being made. It’s only purpose is to give an idea of how much a player is worth. This is used for instance to limit the minimum amount the Board allows you to sell a player (25% of his value or 10% if age > 30).
It shouldn’t be common but I had one player that every other match received at least a yellow card. If things look too exagerated we can review the card system.
Cheers!
The value calculation is dynamic and based in the transfers being made. That said, it’s possible that when your player was generated the overall market value of players was higher than when he improved, so his value decreased.
It’s done. I just wanna make sure everything works on my dev environment before promoting it to our server. It’s no guarantee we are free of problems, but at least I’m doing my best to test it ;)
I think we could change the logic to always consider at least, it’s more common than the exact number. Ideally we could have both. Danilo is the one who implemented this logic, I’ll let him speak about it ;)
Yes, friendlies help develop. Brazil is currently the best country, but the difference should not be that big. I guess what makes Brazil strong is the high number of human managed teams, the competition is very interesting.
It was 30, but after the latest changes on the match engine (a while back) it became 35. Luc, is that all you wanna know? Not sure if I understood everything you wanted us to confirm :D
Cheers!
You’re right Parag, we’re trying to resolve that with our provider. Check Danilo’s post here .
Cheers!
Things are getting interesting. I’m not so sure about gathering teams from CL and Libertadores with teams from UC and Sudamericana. But looks like the only way to have enough teams in the competition. I also like the idea of all matches on neutral ground, makes it easier to fit the competition in our schedule, but I prefer to have it ending on turn 143 instead of in the following season. Any more suggestions? :)
@Dirceu: we don’t have Toyota Cup, it’s just that we only have teams from Europe and South America so far ;)
Cheers!
Done.
A world cup with clubs…I like the idea, but it would have to replace the current international competitions I suppose. What’s everybody else’s opinion about this?
We definitely need to rephrase the “stay on position” tactic to “play position”…this tactic means the same as no tactic at all, the player will continue playing the same way. Regarding the all back configuration, you have to picture the field in the formations screen to understand the exact meaning of that. Imagine you have a defender D C +1 (defense, center, mentality +1). All back for this guy means he will play as if he was 2 squares behind, on D C -1. For a player on M LC 0, he will player as if he was on D LC +1 (2 squares behind). Does that make sense?
Yes you have Vaughn, check it here
Anyway, the same answer is below.
When you say stay on position it means he will behave according to its assigned position, it doesn’t mean he won’t move. The wording could be better, we know that, something like “play position”. The move back instruction means the player will behave as if he was placed in the position right behind the one he belongs. For example, a central midfielder on mentality 0 with a move back tactic will behave as if he has been placed on mentality -1, it doesn’t mean he will immediately move back.
Hope this helps :)
We were not the ones who built this forum, we just borrowed it. But we could work on something like that, even though it would be a low priority improvement ;)
Not started yet, I’m working on something big right now, that has also been requested a while back. I’m not telling you guys, it’s a surprise. :D
