Hi.

i bought a 19-year old centre back 6 months ago. he trained and played well for 6 months, at the attributes he had constantly a lot of arrows showing upwards and over the 6 months he improved slightly. now he´s had 1 week of bad training, and they take 6 different defensive skillpoints away from him. now he´s significantly worse then when he joined. just ridiculous, takes so long to get an upgrade on any skillpoint but they are gone faster than a rat in an aqueduct

makes me so sick, makes me wanna quit the game and never play it again 

thanks for your reply. i can see where you´re coming from, though i dont think the problems i posted mirror reality. 

 on

1. i think first and foremost players would look forward to the new challenge, thats why everyone wants to win promotion in the first place
2. Dani Olmo couldnt be registered coz Barca´s finances are a real mess. but what i had in the game was a bug. the ESC spot ended on 30.6.2027 when it was supposed to end on 30.6.2028. the player is an important one, so its hard to not have him available due to a bug in the game. and i still have to pay his high wage but cant play him.
3. Demebele had problems with his attitude, if sth like this occured in the game, no problem. though i understand development is not a straight curve, i dont think its realistic for a 23 year-old to lose physical strength and speed. at 23 a body is at its best power, ive never heard of a young player who just got a lot slower without any realy reason like a big injury
4. thats not an easy one, coz i said i already have the settings like that, but it is just ignored by the  game. according to the settings it should be my responsibilty, but other people at the club (fe the academy director) take actions about loan offers instead
5. thats a tough one to talk about, as it is not a bug or sth. i just feel on average players should develop a lot more, like i would like to see some stats (esp mental and technical ones) go from f.e. 9 up to 13 over 2 seaons or so. but the attributes of players hardly change over a couple of seasons, maybe some attributes gain 1 or 2 points over 2 seasons, but not more. i have some players at the club who after 3 seasons have pretty much the exact same attributes as 3 years before. 

anyway, thanks for answering, cheers

i played 4 seasons now, but i dont think i can play on. there is some stuff happening that completely ruins the game:

1. i just won promotion and at the end of the season the morale of the whole team was excellent. the team returns from the holiday and the morale has completely dropped to only “ok”. what? many players signed drastically improved contracts and we play a league higher and suddenly theres not a single happy player anymore? 
2. i gave an ESC spot to a player who just signed a new contract with a wage 5 times higher than before, it said the player has ESC permission and will be looked at in a year for a regular permission. but 4 weeks later the ESC has disappeared and the player cannot play coz he got no work permission. but he as a huge wage now. 
3. a 23-year old winger had accleration 14 and speed 13, but for no obvious reason after the holiday only has acc 13 and speed 12. how can a healthy player at 23 just lose speed? if anything he´s supposed to get faster at this age. 
4. i have the settings that i want to deal with loans for youth players myself, but other people at the club always decline or accept loans and i have no chance to take care of loans. i had just promised to a young player i will loan him out, loan offers came in, all were rejected by the youth director. the player says i broke my promise and doesnt want to work with me anymore. thank you very much. 
5. players hardly improve. in the 4 seasons i played now i worked with a lot of young talents and have the best assistant coaches possible. but players only improve ever so slightly if at all. a player at the age of 18 or 19 is supposed to improve quickly if given game time, at least some of them. but none of the talents makes a jump in development, they all stagnate. i cannot imagine thats done to my skills. if you have 10 young promising talents and play them regularly and the team plays well and wins a lot of games but not a single player really ever improves significantly. 

i play with Leyton Orient on an extremely tight budget and everything i do must be so spot on to get forward but the game itself is not at that level that is being asked of myself.  that is very sad. i wanted to bring Leyton to the top, but i dont think i can go on from here

Hi, thanks for your help in advance.

i got a problem with an ESC spot in league one / championship. so far i only found out other people had similar problems, but sadly not more. 

i play with Leyton Orient and now after the 4th season i got promoted to the championship. i have a player who played the last 2 seasons with an ESC permission, and at the end of last season i gave him a new contract. the contract was not completed until the work permission was sorted, the permission was rejected and i gave the ESC spot to the player and the contract was completed. but now 4 weeks later it says the player has no work permission and no signs of an ESC spot. the player is a quite important one and i gave him a drastic pay raise due to the promotion and now he is not able to play coz the ESC disappeared. 

anyone know what can be done here?

yeah, thats what i thought too. anyway still i´m pretty sure there´s sth wrong with these numbers. yesterday when i looked at the wages summary, it said wages incl bonuses 80k, fix wages 82k. that cant be correct, because obviously wages incl bonuses cant be lower than fix wages

Thx for the answer. i´m not 100% sure about all that, but it seems it is like it should be. i had thought only the fix wages go to the wage budget, but it seems the bonuses are counted in as well. 

anyway, thx and cheers

hi, 

not sure i post in the correct forum, pls forgive me if not. 

i seem to have a bug somehow with the wages. if i look at the wages overview there´s quite a difference between shown weekly fix salaries of players in the list of starplayers, keyplayers etc, which is about 70k, and above that list there is written i have fix weekly wages of 83k. also when i go to the list of wages of all players the wages written there are 10-20% higher than if i look at the players contract. as you can see on the pics for example the fix wage of Owen Dale is 4.6k pw, but in the list is written 5.5k, thats almost 20% more. the wages written on the list are all higher than what it should be according to contracts. so i´m pretty sure these numbers arent correect, and i think i just pay about 20% more for players than i should according to contracts. thats quite frustrating as i look to keep wages as low as possible. 

Hope someone can help me with that.
