I agree wholeheartedly with both posts. @diogovarela7 @jeffro-davies

I would like to draw attention to another point here. most countries do not live under the same economic conditions. In the netherlands, the united kingdom or arab countries, these coins may not mean anything, but for example in my country (Turkiye), such extra money-demanding developments are quite hurtful. This eliminates the fair competition environment. Many incredible managers I know stop playing in the face of these increasingly bizarre developments. If you don't fight with good players, the struggle is meaningless.

There are many ways to prevent something, you as software developers are much more competent than us in this regard, I think it is a great disrespect to destroy the avatars or team logos that people have carefully prepared. as in the past, you could send a poll for some updates and check the pulse. however, the motto "we want it to be like this, it will be like this" is quite wrong and really contrary to the contemporary world order. Before forcing people to make some improvements, you should either consider what it will cause you to lose, or look at what effect this has on the mechanics of the game.

With the last update, the scout system is also down. it never returns with the player in the desired criteria. why push the boundaries even more when people are already hanging on to this game by a thread? There is only one thing everyone wants, fair and enjoyable play.

I hope that your sense of justice and enjoyment will not be lost.

I've been playing this game for 13 years and we are aware that the game is trying to increase its own profit rather than the players while every update is made, many of our good friends have left the game and will continue to quit, unless you prevent this, me and many of my dear friends will give up on this game. In every update, we can't help but think about what they ruined this time. What we call the update should improve the game and not ruin it even more. I ask you to listen to the voice of the players and fix the bugs instead of the updates you want and provide us more opportunities. Do not take it away from the people who play this game passionately.

The game is officially dead.
After manager points being removed that's the 2nd and final part of the mission called ''killing managers identity''.
I have to finish 2 more tournaments and after that it's GAME OVER for me after more than a decade of playing this game.

I also must say I never saw such a high level of greed in all my life, it's unbelievable. To play competitive you have to spend 50-100e per month. For such a simple boring one season game. (the community made the game interesting with different tournaments, NOT GB. )
But what can you expect from a game where top of the rankings are cheaters with multi-accounts and no one cares about them, from a game where Hall of Fame managers are people who spent 1.000e, played one league and disappeared while managers who are playing 10-15 years are irrelevant???

What to say about a game with allegedly ''hundreds of thousands'' of managers but 0 tournaments organized by GB? About a game where in the only ''official'' thing called official battles you play against same 5-6 crews for 5 years...

Update after update it's getting worse...not to mention the ridiculous packs where you can buy events for yourself etc.

The game is just sick!
RIP OSM

@renato-pratas I wholeheartedly agree. I remember when I first payed OSM in 2017, it was so much fun. After a few years I saw the points system disappear which was already so weird to me. Many more things followed and now THIS? Man, atleast I can represent anime on the forum, but I really liked using this profile picture as a badge of honour almost. What we have now is simply shameful...

All i'm thinking off, is another cash grab from GB.
In a few weeks, maybe months if we're lucky, they will introduce a 'season pass' for 9,99 every month where you can obtain 'special' avatars.

Give back our avatars

calm people GB will include for $ 9.99 per month the option to place a profile picture. This is ridiculous

If MenagerBL don't want to play this game already, i have nothing to say. Developers just don't care about the community, but care about their money a lot...

@specialone First of all, I would like to show my gratitude to the OSM team by sending us the explanation of the measure that has been carried out. However, I must show my disagreement with it due to the fact that, as coaches and trainers, we are seeing limited our freedom to add a photo of our liking restricted due to the fact that there is a minority phenomenon from which some people upload photos showing hatred , contempt or obscenity. Precisely because it is somewhat minor, responsible coaches do not have to see ourselves limited because there is a small number of irresponsible people, the solution lies in the fact that an option is included to report those profiles that result be inappropriate.

With regard to the new avatars and the LGTBI flag, I have to say that I personally do not mind that some coach or trainer puts it on their profile, not at all, because it must be respected, however, that it is included within a new package of mandatory images indicates that the development team has adopted a behavior that intends to compulsorily promote something that is already respected by most players, at least in their photos, you yourselves are acknowledging it by saying that obscene images suppose the minor part. As a coach who is passionate about the game, I ask that you reconsider the measure, which can be replaced by the aforementioned option to be able to report obscene profiles. Do not force to use images by default.

Also, finally, before censoring a comment, think about it objectively and without bias, because sometimes what seems like an insult really isn't, and if you censor indiscriminately, the only thing you will achieve is losing players.

If the measure persists, I will be forced to abandon the game.

Receive a cordial greeting.

The best manager in the world_NL

Well, I think this topic clearly shows you done messed up Gamebasics, congratulations!

It literally takes me two seconds to think of a solution; allow managers to upload their own images when they reach manager level 5, maybe level 6? This way you don't have to deal with low level accounts doing weird things.

But then again, I know you are going to do nothing with this anyway. Have fun counting the money in Zoetermeer, cheers!

whats up with this avatars if they had this in mind for a while should of atleast took their time to create better avatars smh. taking the profile pics off is not improving the game. looks like theyre focusing in the wrong things .

_Garson_

@specialone If only you could turn your head on a little and think about it! Then you did at least like this .... As an avatar for the manager profile, and for the clan profile ..... disgrace ...

niekpro2005_60_NL

@_garson_ great idea

In my over 10 years of playing OSM I have never seen a manager with an offensive crew avatar or profile logo. I have only seen offensive usernames or Fantasy team names.

So I think there is just a very small chance that you see a manager or crew with an offensive logo.

I understand that there is being filtered on swearing words, but why no longer allow profile icons for something what is very fewly misused.

I think you should think again about this up(down)grade and eventually turn it back.

Where you eventually have the option to only chance a logo when your crew exists a certain time or when your profile has played over 200 matches.

i've been staff support for 2 years and i can say that daily we faced offensive images as avatar.

Majstor Matt

@daniele-benjiamin What about offensive usernames? Im pretty sure there are more of them... Maybe give us all User ID's generated by the game wouldnt be bad? I hope they are thinking about that as well as I hate when I see offensive username...

@majstor-matt said in Avatar update:

What about offensive usernames?

it's always been the same with a difference that if you loook weel isn't so big.
Offenisve usernames couldn't be changed so users were locked. And they could create other accounts with other offenisve names just to joke.
Offensive avatars could be changed by users, but users after they changed often uploaded other new offensive images some days later.
So in both the situations there isn't an end as you can image.

It seems that a porno avatar or an offenive name is a way to be cool with himself.

And in that time there weren't limitations that there are now by google and apple for developers, I think that now GB got to a limit and has been forced to take this decisions about avatars.
We only have to wait that the process will develop in a more efficient way to solve problems in chats and in crew's acronyms
