Season 38 <--Back
picJust as people are preparing to go on vacation, season-change is soon upon us. I know season 37 is not yet completed, but I figured I could be a bit earlier with the information this time...

This monday
Monday morning, the normal 30 league rounds are over. That means that some teams have no more official matches this season. Some teams have to play playoffs, and some teams have cup-finals to look forward to. There is a training-camp on Wednesday afternoon that you should not miss, and this is the best time to train your team with friendlies without having to worry about injuries etc, as the season is about to end anyway.

This Thursday
On Thursday morning, the game is going down for Season-Change, and will remain down until I am done pulling all the strange levers and turning all the strange wheels that allow us to go from one season to the next.

Then, by Thursday evening, the game is back up, and you can all log in to check out how your players fared during their vacation, complain about the stats they lost (yes, all players loose stats between seasons) and look at your new young and promising youth-player.

Next weekend
The following weekend has Custom Cups and a Training-Camp on Sunday afternoon.

Next Monday
The season kicks off with training at 09:00 and the first League Round at 15:00.

Are there any new things to look forward to?
Well, I've been on vacation, and allthough it has filled me with some new ideas, there is a limit to what I can do when not at work However......
There will be some changes to some of the financial aspects of the game, and some changes in relation to transfers and credit-donations. Allthough these things will requie some testing next week, I can list the most important changes, and why I have implemented them:

* A player can only be bought (or sold) once per season
- This is to avoid the massive speculation where some teams buy a lot of youngsters to re-sell them for much higher amounts right away. Now when a player is bought, he can not be placed for sale the same season.

* The fortune-tax has been increased from 1 % to 2 %. This only applies to any amounts above 100.000.000 $ and will only affect the richest teams.
- This is just a small adjustment to fight the inflation of the economy in the game

* The max-income from Friendlies has been reduced from 300.000 to 250.000, the same amount you get if you convert credits to money. Friendlies might still be better though, as your players gain attributes in addition to the money.
- This is to further help fight the inflation, and to help balance the income from friendlies and credit-conversions.

* Credit-donations have been recoded. As of next season, the rules are as follows:
- A team can donate up to 100 credits in total, divided any way, but no more than 100 in total per season.
- A team can receive up to 100 credits in total, per season.
This has been changed to avoid people spending massive amounts of credits in transfers, and to plug a hole in the old limitations that made people with friends able to donate far more than we intended.

All of these changes focus on improving balance and the fairness of the game, as well as combat inflation of the economy. Some people may not like them very much, but I have a feeling the testing next week will give players plenty of time to state their opinions.
So, some of these may change, but that's how things look right now.

During July, I have a number of simulator-upgrades I wish to work at, and a new transfer-system so it will be an exciting month.

All the best for what's left of this season, and all the best for the coming one.

Have a great summer!

- Spinner

pictureI didnt like this one, but great work for the other changes.

For the bigger teams i think thats ok, but how should a team like me make some money?
Seems like things are getting harder for each season, wow, this is starting to get a little boring...

I dont want to complain, but i dont think this was such good idea.
I think buying and selling is a great ability, well its not like that someone can take total advantage of this game because of this. In any seasons teams have done this but still they are not the biggest teams. The teams who buys and sells all the time also buys from other teams who deos the same. so i think this was totally fair.

Im sure the bigger teams will say that this was good idea for stopping those who pickup youths and sell them for a higher price to make money. They already have a great team with high Q players and good income so this will be nothing for them.
But how do u think the current big teams grew up to be what they are right now?

Nowdays when a player begins he gets 17.5m + maybe some few millions in sponsors.
With those money u cant even buy one Q72 youth! maybe u can pick up a Q69 and train him up, but with this update the new manager wont be able to sell him after all his hard job for making the player better. How should we make money? if u tell me, ill take this back.

I didn't like this one, sometimes you buy a q71 player, you work it, and then you want to sell it the same season when he is q74, you've spent credits on training him.

By : OsloborgerSelling...   10:09 05/07 2008
pictureMost seens good, but not the rules about not selling any player bought in one season. Poor teams need cash and most teams should be allowed to sell ONE player they have bought during a season. That would limit inflation a lot, because today some team sell many more then one.

By : MycroftHmmm   11:09 05/07 2008
pictureNot sure what I think about it, receive only 100 creds means no cup, esp no norwegian forum cup. I like that you can't sell the player same season as you buy him, like the real world. Perfect.

By : coolcam666My only worries are......   11:35 05/07 2008
pictureIf you can only transfer a player once per season their value will sky rocket. This is because the amount you have to put into them will increase. Also in rounds 1-5 the value of players will be gigantic due to the massive selling off.

Also with the credit thing i think a little change should be made so that the 100 creds is only to do with the transfer of players. As Mycroft just said this rules out rewards for cups and such which was always a great feature. I think such rewards should be put to the admins for examination then completed.

Finally the reducing the friendlies revenue is a bad idea. Since a lot of the youth farmers get part of their wealth from the revenue of friendlies they will not have as much money. This will increase demand for the youth players, as will the one transfer rule, and make the price of youths ridiculously high due to the fact they dont have as much money as they need to buy.

Please take these into consideration.

By : SincaDPrices   11:50 05/07 2008

By : Kew Almighty....   11:59 05/07 2008
pictureSome things are good, but i really hate the max 100 credits per season and the max income for friendlies. People who buys credits (i assume they have more than people who dont) should get a little advantage. So that really sucks i think.

By : S c r a tQuestion and thoughts...   12:06 05/07 2008
pictureQuote: * A player can only be bought (or sold) once per season

-What about teamless players? if i buy a teamless player.. can i sell him the same season?

Anyways.. I like most of the changes.. and looking forward to see some results even though i think 100 credits in total is to low Winky 200 in total i like better since that was the original max amout.. until ppl started to send credits through other teams..

I like that you changed the income on friendlies down to 250k.. it will stop alot of money to get into the game

and to the fortune tax.. i still think you can increase it up to 3-5%.. 2% is really nothing.. Winky

This was my thoughts only thoWinky

By : SirKrisNice   12:28 05/07 2008

By : Lord EvensNOT NICE   12:45 05/07 2008
picture* The max-income from Friendlies has been reduced from 300.000 to 250.000, the same amount you get if you convert credits to money

By : tonycfcrestricting the teams who need to catch   13:10 05/07 2008
picture
i think these changes will suit the teams who are already king midas and have all stadium apgrades done

in my opinion this only broadens the gap between the veterans and the likes of me and fellow managers who will follow in my footsteps,how can i possibly catch up with them now if i cant do basically what these teams have been doing for many seasons

as reguards the credits why would you want to put a stop on this as alot of managers are in a position to use their 200 donated credits if they so choose,i understand that not all managers can but surely the game has to be aimed at the people who can and will spend money and alot of credits during the season


all of the above really has me thinking now should i bother to go on if i cant catch up with the king midas in the game

whats the point now if it will take me atleast 10 more seasons to catch up with the likes of Hogwarts(just an example)


surely Spinner these changes arent one of your brighter ideas and i know alot of managers will like them but coming from a manager who spends alot on credits every season and is active nearly all day every day surely there more important upgraddes to be carried out

pictureThe new changes will be very bad for new teams. Just less and less money for them.

For example the money for the friendlies: The 50,000 from the friendlies, is really needfull for the new teams. They should get more money instead of you lowering it.

They should for example get like 30m instead of 12m when they start.

By : SpinnerThenk you for your views!   05:07 06/07 2008
pictureAllow me to comment some of them:

First of all, according to the feedback, it seems some players think this is good for the "poorer teams" and some think they are good for the "richer teams". This demonstrates the duplicity in the work against inflation, and some challenges to overcome.

The "a player can only be sold once per season" was meant to stop the increased price on players that is caused by speculations by the teams who spend a lot of time hitting the search-button on transfers, to snatch up every player he can get his hands on on the teamless market before others get him. Now, such a player will not be able to get that many, as his team will fill up with players he can't sell until next season, leaving other teamless for others to buy.
As someone mentioned here, it COULD mean that the price will actually increase when it comes to team-to-team transfers, I must honstely say I do not know how it will play out, but it will also mean that more teams can pick up players from the teamless market, for lower prices. This angle has given me something to consider at least.

When it comes to the credit-donations and the new limit, I never meant to block off donations to create cups, no way. But we do wish to get rid of the large credit-deals in transfers, as they are disruptive to the game in the long run. And yes, I realize that we might lose real money on this limit, and still we wish to do it, for the good of the game.
To avoid the cup-issues, maybe the limit should still be 200 in stead of 100, as long as there is no way to get around it, like it has been now.

By : SpinnerFor those thinking...   05:11 06/07 2008
pictureFor those saying that the poorer teams will struggle due to the lower income on friendlies, you should consider that the newer teams don't get the max from these games anyway. So going from 300k to 250k might not make a difference for them.
If inflation is to be controlled (and everyone agrees here, it seems), all teams will have to "pay for it, if not much, and the richer teams will pay the fortune-tax and the loss of a little friendly-income, while the medium teams will pay the loss on friendly income, and the newer teams will not really notice anything at all.
Also consider, that having a little less money isn't bad if the money is WORTH MORE than it would have been due to inflation...

And for crying out loud, people should be less keen to pay lots of money for 17 year olds, when you might as well buy them at 18 or 19 and train them hard to reach their potential....

By : SpinnerPoll...   05:13 06/07 2008
pictureI have also made a poll on the front page where you can vote and voice your opinion on the "A player can only be sold once per season"....

By : Everest Leore Poll   10:45 06/07 2008
pictureSpinner, if you would ask people "would you like to pay lower taxes?"
...90%+ of them would say no!

(so not sure what comes out in the poll as most popular is best for the game. now it looks like neck-and-neck for yes/no. I would say "no" is best, as it stops the "teamless hunting".)

in long run, prices will most likely continue to increase: top teams need about 2 young players each year, and they get 0 (sometimes bad) or 1 youngster each year, so they need to buy about 1.5 younger players each year. the effective way to fight against inflation would be 2 youngsters / season, than demand would drop, all players would cost just as keepers now.

lower prices however would take away some part of the challange though: a good manager needs to be able to take care about his finances well....it's not necessarily bad if people are complaining, it only means game is harder - so it's challenging!!!

if you want more popoularity, just give everyone 17 year Q90 players for free!

By : Ancelotti1Great!   14:26 06/07 2008
pictureNice changes, and it shows that you really do listen to the players (About every change was more or less suggested in a thread in the Norwegian forum).

The only thing I'm worried about is the limit for receiving credits, because of the large cups. Maybe you could allow the teams that arrange the cups to receive as much as necessary? It will be more work for you, though ...

By : Thalescup donations   14:55 06/07 2008
pictureinstead of increasing the number of credits donated to players, perhaps it could be made possible to donate credits to cups. Like, someone can arrange a 64 teams cup and then if someone donates 10 credits to the cup it means the 5 next teams to signup can do so credit-free.

By : Spinner"would you like to pay lower taxes?"   15:03 06/07 2008
pictureThe poll is not at all about whether people would want lower taxes or not, not at all.
Most people agree that increasing prices must be dealt with, and the poll will show the expectations on whether players BELIEVE the transfer-limit will help in the right direction.
Don't forget that the prices are also controlled by psycology, like any open market, and the result of the poll will give me a hint to how that effect might play out.
Some of these things is almost impossible to predict, and so I am fully aware I might have to change it again later if it would lead to higher prices. But don't forget that you can only get the amount someone is willing to pay, so the buyers actually dictate the prices here.

That said, the Demand is a key factor here, and so I have adjusted the number (and the quality) of teamless players now, to create more players, with slightly higher average quality and slightly lower age. This should increase the amount of these wanted players, while the demand should be more or less the same, which should in effect help bring the prices down. But as I said, this isn't easy, and it might take some time before we see the results...

By : Mr GallinaPlayers can only be....   15:03 06/07 2008
pictureThe current popular/ bigger teams dont need this and most of them surely will say no in the poll.
They already has build up a great team by this and dont need/ cant pick up i.ex. a Q74 because of the -9 rule.
They have been able to this in many seasons and im sure each of them has taken their chances! but now they want to say no...
This makes it harder for new teams to grow and makes it easier for the current big teams, cause they will face less challenges etc.

Dont u think its fun to buy players and sell them? or what it feels like when u got eyes on a good teamless player? what do u think then? u think, ow what a player, i can make big money If i train him well and sell him later! Very few would think, this player should stay in my team for many season, im sure he would be pretty good! u cant know that! cuz their potenial changes! thats why most of us dont take that chance and sell them. Maybe he will be great, maybe not, but atleast i can keep the money.

For many new teams that is the way for getting a better team, im sure most of us started like that.
We sell our best potentialed players, and to take it the next step.We pick up/ buy some low Q 17yos for the money, train them and sell them for a higher price when they get better.
This is the way of survivng! or to become great...and managers who pick up the better teamless player often, is their way to make money.

Not many wants to do that, because its boring and it kills ur time! for those who wants to do that, let them do it! as i said there are not many many manager who wants click on the search button all day long or who stays awake to 3-4 of clock late in the night.

By : SpinnerCredits..   15:04 06/07 2008
pictureThe previous limit was intended at 200, the problem was that it was circumvented by "going around the rules". Now that going around the rules should be impossible, I guess the limit can still be 200, to avoid cup-problems.
And if you want to arrange very special cups, contact support, and I can help.

By : SpinnerMr Gallina   15:08 06/07 2008
pictureYour point is indeed taken.
I don't wish to stop people from buying, training and selling, I wish to stop people from being pure scavengers on the transfer-search, buying 6-7 youngsters and placing them for sale right away. Maybe the limit could work like "You can't place a new player on the market until 7 days have passed, or something like that...Do you think that would work?

By : Mr GallinaSpinner   15:13 06/07 2008
pictureYes! rather this instead of completely removing this ability. That was a great idea, but anyways most players train them some days before putting them on sale.
Because they think maybe he will gain in Q, then he will be worth much more.
But ur idea seems fair, so please edit this update.
Thanx for understanding/ getting my point.

By : A PhillipsOther way to solve the problem   15:31 06/07 2008
pictureI think a better way would be to limit the transfres per season a manager gets to do (for instance 6). Then you can do what you want with the players (buy them or sell them) but just for a limited amount of times (3 buys and 3 sells or 4 buys and 2 sells, or 1-5, etc). This will also promote the sacking players function if you already have the money but you have few tranfers left.

Kind Regards

By : Kew Almighty....   15:46 06/07 2008
pictureI think it would be good if you can recieave a maximum 200 credits every season.Then you can make one big credit deal or some smaller ones.

Or maybe 250?

By : Everest Leofree market - or not   17:15 06/07 2008

it is like economic policy:
most important is to have _fixed rules_, so managers can plan and build their own strategies. ideally, managers should plan their finances 5-10 seasons in advance...
each time the rules change - it's like government's intervention..

at the end of the day it's a political question:
do you believe in free market or in socialism?
each time any price go high - people scream and government intervenes

By : dvd100Young players   10:02 07/07 2008
pictureI do not see what all the fuss about not beeing able to sell off young players straight away.
I usually buy between 1-4 youngsters a season, then train them for 1-2 seasons before I sell them. This gives me more money, and for me its a lot more fun watching them grow in stats. Furthermore, as I see them grow my team also gets better.
So I think its a good rule to limit sell offs of young players. It makes the game more realistic. Do you ever see any of the really good teams, or any teams for that matter, buy young player just to sell them in a couple of days?
Totally rubbish, I suport this rule. Buy and train your young players propper before you sell them....

If you do this the rich teams buy all 17 good Quality players,because they can sell them again and nothing change.
We have to learn to use the team whom we have, be in players or in cash. All we want the best players and all we want to be very rich but if we will be able to buy and to sell in the same season, the most poor clubs are not going to have hypotheses any, it is my opinion.

pictureIm not saying this just because i buy many youths by myself, and no i have more players in an older age than my two 29y olds.
Paulo, let me tell u that all good/ rich teams started by this, bying training and selling, and now they stand against us about this.
This way it makes it pretty hard for the new teams to grow.

Again ur wrong, i have not bought any creds at all, i have done cred deals plus the
15 free creds i get every season. I have not trained my youths so good either, playing about 170 friendlies per season.
Im succesful, u shouldnt tell me that im not, i have a young team and I have many choices.
I can train my youths to be excellent players , or i can become rich if i want.

With all my young talents i cant know for sure that all of them will be great players. Those who perform good and show their talent, i will keep, the rest i need to sell. That how i can get a "good" team.

Seems like ur just thinkin about Q, but if u dont think about Q, u will understand that u shouldnt say that other young teams are just waste of money and are unsuccessful.
I can tell u straight that my team has much more potential than urs and im sure every exprerienced manager would agree about that.
I dont like to boast about my team or somethin but its not nice to be called unsuccessful, at least not after all the hard work and my activity on ML.
Im actiually very proud of my team and are happy with my results, so dont come here telling me that "i now realize that i have handled things bad"!

I think that this fortune taxe should be increased for bigger amounts , like taxes .

Keep 1% for amount >100 mil
2% for higher that 300 mil
and 3 % for higher that 500mil

It's just a example

*A player can only be bought (or sold) once per season

I guess it's Ok if you count out teamless . First buy don't count

* The max-income from Friendlies has been reduced from 300.000 to 250.000,

maybe some division difference ?

Like div 1 300 000 , div 2 - 275 , div 3 -250 etc ...

* Credit-donations have been recoded.

i can live with that . But i think that 200 with 20 was very good to .

pictureonce agin i think the new season chnages or very good and u are constantly making the game better
good luck to all in the following season!!!!
one question what do you mean by the fortune tax only effecting the richest teams?
and little mourinio you sed thta the not being able to sell players after buying in the same season was wrong
but youll get to sell them next season and it doesnt mean youll have to wait 10-15 seasons to get to the top.

picturei dont know where to suggest ideas but i was just wondering when i went on prefrences on the game and realised there was still only 2 choices of skin black and white so i think it would be great maby to introduce more colours such as a very dark red or navy blue and get the coulours of the game to adjust too the new colours so it looks good
i belive this gives more creation to the game and a manger can have things looking the way they like best i hope u get too read this spinner as i think it wud be very good

pictureI'm for these changes. Every change that makes the game more realistic is a good change. However, the max 250 friendlies is just about as far out it can get. I understand the need for earnings for the developers of the game, but there really should be another way to do this, instead of 250 friendlies you should be able to do more training for some extra credits. At least that would be a bit more realistic methinks... Just my .02

picturei think that player sold / bought thing is a great idea because it's like a "deadline" and some teams have been buying players and then fast resell them this stinks

pictureCould the new restrictions be applied only to teams over a certain net worth? So for example, if the value of a team is based on transfer value of current sqaud plus cash is over 1000m, they pay higher taxes, can only earn up to 250k for a friendly and cannot sell the players in the same season as buying them.

Teams with lower net worth would then be allowed to do all these things until the point they reach the 1000m mark.

picture* A player can only be bought (or sold) once per season - this is good !

A team can donate up to 100 credits in total - this is not so good !

Well, I've been on vacation - this is good!

* The max-income from Friendlies has been reduced from 300.000 to 250.000 - this is bad !

focus on improving balance and the fairness of the game - this i9s good !
