Hey Rui,
Your legendary status in this game is unmatched. I’m not here to tell you how to run your business but I know you’re trying to make light of a difficult situation. It’s never nice to be accused of being a cheater, especially when no cheating occurred. That said, I myself would have just turned the other cheek and let bygones be bygones. You’re just adding fuel to a small fire. No need to increase it.
Being a player of many years of this game, I know the frustration of losing a player at the last tick. Of course you’re not obligated to sell but perhaps an in game message explaining your position would have been a better way to handle it. If you did that, great.
I usually stay away from the forums as you can tell by my very low post count but just thought I could add my two cents to this situation.
Now, back to the game we love……it is only a game after all.
Hi Danilo,
So far so good this morning. Will report anything if it should occur.
Hi Danilo.
No I’ve been at Liverpool in Medium ticker for over one season and at Barcelona in Fast Ticker for 2.5 seasons.
I’ve had to re-insert players twice into my main (default) squad and to my backup squad once in Fast Ticker. At least once with default squad in Medium Ticker.
On my Fast Ticker team, I had 5 formations. 3 of them were cleared. In Medium, I had 3, two of them were cleared. It’s so random.
Nothing has changed from my game play or any settings on my computer that I know of.
Again as mentioned, all the players were removed from the field but my selected kickers were still there and my subs were still scheduled.
Not sure if any one else experienced this but in both Fast and Medium, some of my formations were completely blank, including the default tactic in both worlds. The tactics and subs were saved but all the players were removed from the field. I had to reinsert them.
Sport Lisboa e Benfica (SLB! SLB!)
A couple of years back they broke the record for most fan memberships to claim to have the biggest fan base. I’m sure fans of Europes giant teams will disagree but hey, they did it.
From Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.L._Benfica
“Benfica has more than 14 million fans and the Guinness World Record for the football club in the world with most members.”
Option 2!!

Hey all,
Just took over at Bordeaux for legendary Dirk Woestenborghs and noticed his abundance of riches. I’m hoping to let go of some high quality attackers to make room for some other needs. A few are listed but if something else is of interest, please send me a PM.
Cheers.
Graham, how the heck are ya!! Henry Medeiros at your service. Wasn’t that great at SS and not so good here. We can battle for bottom spot if you’d like!!
My error was quite simple.
After installing the script I hit edit. For some reason, my brain wanted to find the script. After doing the process again and go a little slower, when I hit edit, it wanted to find an editor for me to edit the file, not the file itself.
All good now. Thanks for the help.
Okay, I read somewhere that you have now included the injury for a goalkeeper. That’s cool. I also read that the “randomness” was set at 1 in 400. Okay, that’s cool. So after a few ticks of this being introduced, my super goalie gets injured. Nothing major, only like a 2-3 tick injury so he was ready to go back in the next league game. So, I counted my blessings that hey, I won’t have another injury for quite some time. Well guess what, injured again, the very next game he was available for. So basically he got injured in 2 back to back games that he played:

- Injured in the 9th minute
http://www.rubysoccer.com/game/match_report/372448
- Injured in the 13th minute
I’ve always said that if it wasn’t for bad luck I wouldn’t have any luck at all, but this is funny.
You haven’t see me cook then……ha.
I could buy the finest foods in the market, but I can’t cook like a chef…..does that mean my food will taste great?
Not sure who it was intended at, but for the most part this thread was about my team.
But to say I’ve exploited a bug is quite the accusation. I have the same tools that everyone has access to. I have access to the same listed players, sale, loan or free, that everyone else has. If you look at my formation, many teams use it. In terms of tactics, I don’t do anything that extraordinary that others can’t do. In terms of strategies, the same thing. In terms of players, well, I do look beyond just the main stats. I used to be a GM in ManagerSim for a short time, so trust me, if there was a bug, I’d be the first to post on here. I’m here to enjoy this game, but it seems others are crying because they can’t win every single game. It’s a football simulation game, not life or death. Adjust your tactics if something isn’t working. Buy and replace players if certain players aren’t working. But to come on here and demand changes to the match engine because you didn’t win, well, I lose all respect for that type of individual. Instead of applauding the successes of lesser teams like PSG, Lyon and Penefiel, you complain that it’s unfair they won anything and the big teams with the best players have to go home empty handed.
Congratulations to Penefiel on winning the Champions League. Your accomplishment should be regarded as a great achievement, and not a “bug in the system”. From me to you, JOB WELL DONE!!
The football gods like me, what can I say……
I told my mom that all that time spent at the other “church” wasn’t worth it, the Glorioso church of Benfica would benefit me one day.
True enough…but at the same time ain’t it boring to see the same top teams all the time. Obviously I follow the Portuguese Liga so when Porto won it all, it was great to see. When Benfica (my team) got very far and lost out to Barcelona, knocking out Man U and Liverpool on the way, it was great.
Nah, I don’t take offense to your comments about what my team has achieved. It’s just a game after all. When Dan and Gab put money on the line, then we can talk about it.
Good luck. You still have a second chance to beat me…..will I change my tactics or play the same……hmmmm.
Alexander, we have all experienced games where the results made absolutely no sense, but you pointed out two results that included my team. You said the results were random, I proved by showing you my last 14 non-friendly games that the results were not random. Also, I reached the CL semifinals last season. How much luck must I have to get all the right random results in my favour. I guess I also had random results for 3 seasons straight were I won the title twice and now sit in 2nd chasing Sylvain for the title.
I may not have the great players that you have, but I have found a successful tactic that is able to swing games in my favour versus tougher opponents. Managers change tactics all the time when they are playing tougher opponents. The big teams of the world sometimes struggle against weaker teams. Almost every season in every country’s cup some minnow goes farther than they are expected.. Look at AC Milan, not even in CL, and gone from Uefa Cup. Another example of real life is Man City. The owner has spent lots of money on getting “big” players….how’s that working for them.
Listen, I understand your frustration that in “theory” better players should beat lesser players, but, then why have any tactics. Then all we’d be doing is buying players to stock up our teams with the best players. Find the happy medium between players, tactics and everything else is what’s key. Is it perfect right now, no, but it’s not that bad.
Viva La France!
And, based on your suggested lineup, you’d be wrong. In fact, I don’t use my 99 passer, so he is for sale if you value high passers. :)
Here is my last 14 non-friendly results….very random if you ask me.
69 Paris-SG 2 x 0 Bordeaux Won Ligue 1
72 Metz 0 x 0 Paris-SG Tie Ligue 1
75 Paris-SG 3 x 0 Sochaux Won Ligue 1
78 Nancy 0 x 4 Paris-SG Won Ligue 1
81 Paris-SG 2 x 0 AC Ajaccio Won Ligue 1
84 Auxerre 0 x 1 Paris-SG Won Ligue 1
87 Paris-SG 1 x 0 Angers Won Ligue 1
90 Paris-SG 1 x 0 Strasbourg Won Ligue 1
93 Toulouse 0 x 5 Paris-SG Won Ligue 1
96 Paris-SG 1 x 0 Monaco Won Ligue 1
98 Paris-SG 1 x 0 Napoli Won Champions League
99 Châteauroux 0 x 2 Paris-SG Won Ligue 1
101 Paris-SG 2 x 0 Bayern München Won Champions League
102 Paris-SG 4 x 0 Brest Won Ligue 1
My 4-0 win vs Brest (top team in France) was also very random :P
Technically I’m 7th not 6th, but I know what you mean. I’m the one facing the top 3…..

Oh, the memories.
Don’t worry, this happens in the Cup to me all the time. Be it at PSG or when I was at Lens, I never get far in this competition. Yet I can win the League and get to the CL Semi-Finals. I’ll take that as consolation. Good luck in the cup.
Good to see you “Woody”!!
Congratulations. I was hoping my keeper could come up with some more magic in the second leg of the semi, but your team proved to strong.
I’m surprised I never put my name on here. Not sure if many of you remember me, but I’m Henry Medeiros. I managed many teams along the way, but at the end I was managing Betis Sevilla in Eurotest. I joined SSim in it’s early days and always have a soft spot for Derby County as this was my first team in 3B. Again, like a few above, I have to “blame” Sylvain for getting me back into the game. Currently managing PSG in FastTicker.
The 2 posts above that say were written by Hank Wood, were not Hank Wood, I only wrote the last one. In the dimensions I’m known as Henry Medeiros.
I’m Hank Wood, and I was trying to search the forums as to why I got a player I never purchased:
Leonides Enriquez De Los Rey
What’s going on?
And I manage Reggina……….
Ok even my name has changed on here. Its calling me Hank Wood which is NOT my name!
