@alyssagb So no VIP tickets for this tournament? Not fair!

You can have mine, ask admin to take mine off me. Already asked for mine to be taken off me before and I will not be using it.

@jeffro-davies I am level 10 bro. I'm so annoyed with the game devs right now. I'm sitting top on 3 saves with 1 or 2 losses each and 3rd on my other which I'm 5th on squad value, all teams with lowest target other than my squad battle I'm target 1. Negative medals on all of them right now. The managers I've lost to are mostly also level 10. This system is really demotivating me to play.

Nobody from admin or staff will reply or do anything about it. That’s until loads leave the game, be patient it will happen. New managers that get to level 9 will soon leave if concentrating on ranking. It’s clearly had the reverse affect they was hoping for I’m sure , not just in the forums, social media etc.

Done a great update this time as usual I mean the Boss Coins are hardly great to concentrate on ranking are they. 300 for the highest level……. lmao

@jeffro-davies I think this new ranking was meant as an improvement to keep beginners in the game. But I think the "pay-to-win" concept which was introduced a few years is the reason most beginners leave after they spent their free coins. But yes, I think some hardcore managers will leave OSM because of this ranking update. And as usual GB will not respond to this because they stick to their own strategy.

today, our crew battle is finished.
i am stand the 3rd place with 19 points. (6w, 1d, 3l)
a manager who in the our opponent stand 7th place (2w, 3d, 5l)

the MANAGER POINTS ARE LIKE THIS:

VERY VERY GOOD DEAL(!)
if i didnt promise some goal to my crew, i quit the game a week ago. now, i am waiting for my crew. after that, i will leave the rubbish.

[Koning Co]

I noticed that one of my players (Busquets) has just been sold only 10-15 minutes before my match is simulated, transfer worker at 21:38; match simulation around 21:50. This happened on server Mauro. He was sold from my team Coventry City (English Championship) to Barcelona, so this happened via a transfer worker. I don't want transfer workers to happen in the last hour before the match simulation because the player can be in my starting 11. @alyssagb can you ask GB to prevent this in the future? I also noticed the same thing on server Paolo earlier this week (my team Rotherdam United).

Other managers: please upvote this post if you don't want transfers to occur just before the matches are simulated.

@frk038 remember your opponent is a level 5 manager, so probably why he gets the +

[A S P E C T]

@a-s-p-e-c-t you can't expect to get same points on a Win as a guy that's on level 5, and you can't expect to lose same medals... that's all I can say about this new system still trying to understand it though but I think the easiest thing would be to focus on your leagues other than the ranks cos honestly its depressing seeing that negative deviation

[frk038]

@a-s-p-e-c-t ok thats true. but why did get "-" point?
my teams goal was 9. and i stood 3?
is it a failure?

at the same time a manager who is in my crew and name is ömer faruk_7631's medals rank better than me and he stood 4.

he got "+" but i got "-".

there is no logical explanation for this.

[Alfonzso_NL192]

Will 'objective' be out of the game soon also? It literally says nothing anymore at the moment...

[Alfonzso_NL192]

At the moment it mainly depends on winning and who (his medal level) you beat
as with us in the competition, Appieee gets +19k medals even though he is 'only' 2 places above his target. I am 2nd +10 from my target and only get +2k

That's just because he's level 5 and I'm level 8

Goal makes much less important, that was part of the 'old' manager points system

@OSM Bojan for example is at 8, but +4 against target and gets -9k, because he is level 9
Or @OSM jandejaper with the same objective as Appiiee even one place higher, but almost -3k medals

bvgrave even though, is 5th, +7 to his target, -5k medals (is at level 9)

it's a copy paste in google translate from a whatsapp message from me, srr for the faults if there are any, i' wasn't double checking

[Ekene Onnuora]

@jeffro-davies That won't be possible.

Android update
At OSM we always want the best for our managers and to guarantee this we continue to update the app with improvements.

To keep the quality of the app high, we've decided that as of June 29 we'll no longer support Android version 4.4 (KitKat). When a forced update has to be made you're no longer able to play OSM from that moment on.

So it's important to update Android to version 5.0 (Lollipop) before June 29 to continue playing OSM!

[carry_out_NL]

At OSM we always want the best for our managers and to guarantee this we continue to update the app with improvements... He he, it was just a joke. The reality is that at GB we only care about money and we'll do anything to earn more and more. Every update we launch is to make sure of that.

[A S P E C T]

@frk038 thats what I was trying to say thats just the total as per games won and games lost plus goal difference from my understanding , win a game get 300 loose a game loose -2K

So for example win 10 games thats , +3000
loose 4 games thats. -8K

total = -5K But at the end theres the goal difference part I guess

The same thing happened with my team Rotherdam United yesterday. At 20:40 Brabec was sold via a transfer worker and 12 minutes later my match was simulated. Can you please inform me if this bug is already under investigation? I suppose this is something that changed unintended during a game update.

Divisions and Manager Medals
Last week we announced that Divisions and Manager Medals replaced the old Manager Point system. Since then we've received a lot of valuable feedback to improve Divisions and Manager Medals. Thanks for that, this well help us improve the game!

We also received many questions about how Manager Medals are calculated. To get a better understanding of how it works, please go to the Division overview page where you can find more information in the help section. Keep in mind that the higher you rise in Divisions, the harder it will be to earn Medals and the easier it will be to lose them.

We'll continue to keep working to make OSM as good and fun as possible for our managers.

@alyssagb

In a league of course friends
This is positive where?

[FeelStrikeX]

The medal system cannot replace what the points system used to be, as medals cannot demonstrate who is better than who is not, since it counts the 4 slots for the ranking, whoever is in a group where at least 1 slot for APP Battles and competitions and if you have another one to play with friends you will never be able to go to the top 100 ranking even if you try hard in the other 2 slots, ie this ranking system is totally unfair to players.

Of course it also benefits anyone with all 4 slots playing alone against bots in private leagues

[SpecialOne]

It's clear to us that a certain 'class' of our users don't like this new system, neither the removal of the old Manager points system.

I believe that this is because they're just looking at this Manager Medals 'scoring' system the same way as you look to Manager Points. They are completely different systems, so you can never compare them. Also, you're looking at it as a way to 'qualify' users. Who's the best and who's better. Again, this is not correct. This is just a system where we divide users per divisions and they can earn those medals on every match/league they play, according to their division and performance!

Is this system perfect? No, it's not. No system will please everyone, so this system is good for some, bad for others, perfect for others and awful to others, etc, etc....

Can it be improved? Sure it can and as stated several times, OSM is on constant evolution and adjustments based on the feedback we get!

[SpecialOne]

@feelstrikex I'll use your league to try to clarify some misunderstandings (at least it's what it looks to me)

I'll use a different image from your manager list, with more info to help

• Why do you have so many negative points and others so many positive points?

Some time ago you were on exact same division as all other managers on your league When in lower divisions you get way more medals per victory and lose a lot less on every draw/defeat
The more you climb Divisions the harder is to win medals and the easier is to lose them! Which is natural because it's expected that you're 'better' and more experienced manager than someone that is on a lower Division!

• Medals shown on Manager List are the sum of ALL medals you earn/lost since league started. It doesn't take into account (at this point) end of season Medals (prize) that is calculated based on several factors with a bigger incidence on final position Vs goal. On old MPs system, you'll see there the Points you'll get at the end of season, including already end of season points.

• On last match of the season, you get performance medals together with the medals won/lost on your last Match. These medals will take into account several factors, such as goal, position, number of teams, number of matches played, number of active managers, etc, etc...

• Medals shown on Manager list were already added/removed from your total. It's not something that will be added/removed at the end of season as it was on MPs system.

• If you chose to resign a league, you wouldn't have wasted time on that league, because your medals were already added to your total, while on old system, you needed to stay until the end of season to get the manager points conquered!
