Either a terrible keeper or superb strikers…or luck!

All numbers should go down after a few tweaks we have planned for the match engine. ;)

2. Best way to decrease the inflation is...

This is the highest wage I’ve ever seen. Maybe the Board could be more restrictive about this…I don’t know. But Alban is right about one thing, this is a good way of getting money out of the game…hehehe.

2. Table positions before the league starts

There is no algorithm, we display it in the order returned by the database :P

I know, we could display it the same way they were on last season (except for promoted/relegated clubs), we simply haven’t worked on this yet :)

2. Player skills

Heheh, I’ll update the wiki :)

Currently there is no way to know a player has reached his maximum, maybe an email from coaching in some situations is acceptable as a future enhancement.

When several players improve the amount is calculated separately for each player.

There is no difference in playing 90 or 30 minutes, they will improve the same way.

Cheers!

2. Manager Fired!!!

Currently these factors have no influence on the % performance, the only thing that changes the performance are the match results, the expected result (based on the teams quality) against the real result. I have 2 main ideas to change that:

1) Keep using expected match results to influence % performance but add a modifier based on financial situation, competition position against board expectation, improvement of the squad.

2) Stop using match results and periodically analyze all other factors listed above to update % performance

1. Topic: Bugs
2. Board expectations

The idea is that, if you qualified for CL instead of relegating you already earned lots of points in your performance as you probably had victories against theoretically stronger team , that’s why we don’t give any bonus or penalties according to the expectation, we use it only to give the manager an idea of how strong his/her team is compared to the opponents. I’m not saying we can’t give bonus/penalties, it’s just not as simple as it seems :)

Optionally we could change the performance points system to be directly linked to the expectations, meaning it won’t change based on single match results, but based on accomplishment of board expectations.

Thanks for pointing the misspelling on “Your Performance”, thorpedo.

2. Improvements Discussion

Keepers value had always been a concern, usually they had high values as just a few skills were used in the calculation, now that we’ve changed that their value is pretty low. We’ll review each skill influence in the calculation, not only for keepers so I guess this is likely to change.

Thanks, Jorge!

I kinda feel that too…I’ll review this later so that main skills have more influence on player average skill calculation.

Thanks Amac!

Exactly, a +6 means a total increase of 6 points, it can be 6 points in one attribute, 2 in one and 4 in another one, 1 on 6 different attributes…any combination.

2. [admin_only] Improvements

We finally found a good formula for player estimated value calculation. It will change dynamically based on the transfers between human managed teams and its parameters are dimension specific. All other calculations like wages, merchandise and sponsorship remain the same for now.

Cheers!

1. Topic: General
2. High player value

The purpose of a dynamic formula is to have an estimated value close to the real market value and use similar ideas for wages, sponsorship and merchandise calculation…but these are a different subject.

In the future we’ll have a star player concept that will give a boost to the player value.

Your stadium is always full cause you have good players and were always in the top of the league table this season :D

Congratulations by the way, the brazilian league was really exciting this season!

2. High player value

1) No.

2) No. Wage demands formula will be implemented and announced later ;)

3) Discussing with a friend the formula I was going implement we ended up with new ideas that will probably make the values increase. More on that when I have made the preliminary calculations.

1. Topic: General
2. High player value

I’m about to change again player value calculation as we agreed it can stay the way it is now. With the change I have in mind all player values will be immediately recalculated using the new formula and this new formula will be dynamic, meaning it will change according to the player transfers that are currently happening. As a consequence, each dimension will have its own dynamic formula.

What I could observe with the data collected from the last 100 players transfer is that the player estimated values will decrease dramatically, as most transfers do not involve top players. This scenario is likely to change over time as new countries with weaker players are added to the game. For now, I see top players’ estimated value around 2.2M, average players from 800k to 1.3M and weakest players around 400k.

If anyone has anything against these changes or another suggestion on how to calculate player estimated value please feel free to tell us. Another option is to remove the player estimated value, but I think it’s fun to have it.

Cheers!

I ended up buying a defender, I already have the 5th best attack in the league, but also the 4th worst defense :P

1. Topic: General
2. freekicks

I wanted to surprise you guys and properly announce it when we allow free kick takers to be selected (as well as for penalty kicks and corner kicks). The answer is yes, keepers use the same skills as in a regular shot, 60% keeping and 40% speed. The free kick taker in the other hand uses 80% shooting and 20% control.

Free kicks are always direct shots when near the goal, otherwise they’re always high balls, meaning they can result in a header. For now you can give any kind of order on free kicks Alban, it’s a fixed behavior, but it’s an interesting enhancement for the future, if not too complex ;)

Cheers!

2. Transfer system

Hi Kalle,

Bids for non listed players are on our plans, as well as some kind of BCC contract clause (and other clauses). Morale, definitely! We feel we’re almost done with what we consider basic functionality, then we’ll be able to start working on more interesting things like that :)

Stadium expansion cost is not exponential, but linear. You pay 100,000 for 100 seats when your stadium is smaller than 10,000 seats and 1,000,000 for the same 100 seats when it’s bigger than 90,000. The construction time also increases, in the previous example it would take 1 turn to build 100 seats for the small stadium and 10 turns for the bigger stadium.

Cheers!

2. High player value

When I say dynamic value calculation I mean use the value paid on transfers to adapt our estimated value calculation formula so all players value would slowly become more realistic when recalculated. :)

2. High player value

I completely agree with all that has been said. Here’s my action plan: adjust all player’s values based on the new rule AND make the value calculation dynamic over time so it will slowly approach the real market value.

Sorry for the mess guys, I didn’t mean to get everybody confused ;)
