OSM: The game

@Urbunnya No problem at all 👍

Here is my suggestion, I have some experience in game programing and this seems to be doable.

first of all what would make more competitive the new battle system is that fixing BP distribution system in smth like this:

Amature Division: 0 BP
Semi-Pro Division: 1 BP
Pro Division: 1 BP
Champion Division 2 BP
World Star Division: 2 BP
Legend Division: 3 BP
OSM Division: 3 BP

This will have result like:

Members with try to join top crews or try to build top crews, so by trying to join better crew you need to get better.
-This will reduce number of crews that are created from members for getting easy BP, by stoping this crews will have more active members on their crews. This will keep crews more united because it will keep players limited on chaining their crews.

I was talking about BP as important key only if now matchmaking have a check also on BPs of players.

after checks that I did how matchmaking is working I thought that its in a difference of 10% from crew to crew I would change it to 5%! so rank 80 can not play rank rank 20 if that will happen then we have strong competition and thats nothing bad from it, so with 5% crews will play against crews that are near them and this would be much enjoyable. In this case we will do a great competition for rank 20+ but what we did for an important peace of puzzle like rank 1, rank 2, rank 3 and rank 4 that in near future these places will be far with medals from other crews and by now how system is these top crews will stop playing new battle system and Im scared that the meaning of battle will changed and that can cost all of us players same happen to another game (dugout-online) the transfer system killed the game.

In university and also with clients how we fixed issues like this! there a logic ready like in chess game, tennis, games that counter strike and as far as I can remember Fifa 16 used that logic im not sure about that, so there is an system called ELO method, that is hidden inside the game rating system. The system changes your ranking to match you up against a player of equal skill level. The system is used to deliver fair and balanced matchups for all players, giving everyone a metric to judge their performances against other competitors.

Im trying to have an example:

Rank 55 will win 6 battle in a row (for developers would be an easy query to run on their db whats a strike or an avg for crews that can go without losing a battle) then we see that this rank 55 is strong for these 5% of crews that are near them this will have a chance to face these strong crews that difference is far and cant have a battle for long. This is easy to program and this can be fun all of members

Here is an idea with green color the crews what they can face with 5% but also the first 5 crews we can see that they can have an end with existing system in near future and yes its kind of boring playing same crew all the time.

*Is it possible for a player I sold or saw on the transfer list with a team to be put back on the transfer list by the same team but a lower overall?

@Ado-Hackovic I just got this one lucky sale usually max price that they sell for me are between 40-50 milions

@Firentr Hello and welcome to the World forum 🙂
Please have a look at these topics to get ideas...

I like the weekend event because it gives you a chance to sell a 100 overall player at full price so you can buy like a 109 overall player.

I think the best player to score from experience is Mbappe, Dembele from Barcelona, and Gnabry.

@SUPERNOVA-8 Hello, i think i understand him, earlier you could watch about 9 clips from time to time and earn some solid amount but now you can only watch about 2-3 max from time to time which is a lot smaller and uselless amount, do you know anything about that change?

@pwhitters I just had to eventually adjust to people doing that and start doing it myself. This is because most Osm managers have found this is the most successful way of getting the most money out of selling players. I had to start selling my players at full price because if I didn't, I would be behind in squad value and all the good players on the transfer list would be gone quickly.

For me favorite feature is crew battles mostly bc you get other managers that are simillar skill.

@Mr-DREDGEN said in Every captain is in way over his head?:

@james_uk I have encountered this same issue and after lots of tinkering with different players, positions and ages I have found that your captain must be an outfield player (NO goalkeepers) and 29 years of age or older. Hope this helps 👍

Also a sidnote, you will know when you have picked the right specialists for the jobs as the after match commentary will read something like:- Loving the tactics, loving the win. My work here is done. 😁

@james_uk @Mr-DREDGEN

Hi guys and welcome to the World forum ! 😁
Of course all of us get to see this message among many others about "the Captain being over his head" 😅 Or something like this ... 😋

I have also tried , tested different types of players for a Captain.
I have even used a GK as a Captain , while playing a defensive style of game though, because he was the one with the highest power in my 11 line up. Personally I find it funny, cause I got this message in several won matches , while on the other hand ... I also got this from the Commentators after a match that ended up in a draw ! 😂😜

Thing is that most of the times I don't have many old in age players. I prefer the young ones. But in the end , I suppose what makes a great Captain is a combination of : Skills/ Power - Age - Rating/Performance Grade . 😉

@Cyfarr Good evening Clément . 🙂
I read on another of your topics , you were asking if OSM has a French Forum. Yes we do have a French Forum too. So if you please use this link ~ https://forum.onlinesoccermanager.com/groups/language-fr , and click on the Join Group button , then you will also have access on that forum as well. 😉

Personally one of the things that I enjoy the most is my squad building. That being said, I prefer to join a new league at the very beginning of it and I enjoy the first- Preparation Days a lot ! 😋😊
I was wondering what other managers have to say about this. What do you guys prefer to do ?😁
Join a new league from early beginning or search and find one in which "x" amount of rounds have already been played ? 🤔

@Supersuperb Haha, interesting choice of words. If I got you right ... Yes, there is a kind of chemistry.

But on OSM we call it : Nationality Bonus. 😁
Read this topic please and you will learn more about it...

@gg1234 - I don't really have many problems with the balanced squad strategy that me and many other managers use. It depends on the mood on the transfer list too, sometimes a lot of players can be sold in a league the next day only 2 could be sold. So in my opinion its luck. Also, if the players you put on the list are on maximum sell price they may not be sold quickly whereas if they are say 30 million instead of 60 million, they will be sold quickly. Furthermore, you can train 4 players at a time - specifically a striker,midfielder,defender and keeper - but it is still better than nothing. I had a league slot with Managers FC and i got every player over 100 -I had about 24 players- and got my team to a billion pounds+ mostly via training and transfers. So it really isn't impossible y'know. Young players are good prodigies for when the league progresses but five 85 rated players for say 120 million are better than two 98 for 120 million (Quality doesn't really mean that they're good and will fit into your team). Hope this helps!
