Subject: Suggestions

Love the NOTES section! Kudos

I think I suggested this before, but as I'm setting up my team for tomorrow's ChL game, I'm running into it again...

Tactics and substitutions need to be able to depend on the actual score of a game and not just how far ahead or behind you are. I tied the first leg of this ChL series 2-2 at home, which means that when I play away tomorrow if I tie 1-1 I lose the series but if I tie 3-3 I win the series. However, there is no way to make tactical decisions based on this fact. So, for example, I can't add an extra defender when the game is tied 3-3 without also adding an extra defender when the game is tied 1-1.

While this is not a problem that affects very many games, the few games that it does affect are generally of great importance (IC playoffs and promotion/relegation matches) and so it seems like it ought to be a priority to develop.

Great idea!! They should definitely add this!!

nrgsports Proposed Head-to-Head stats between two teams and I think it's a fantastic idea! what do you think? It shouldn't be too hard to implement this, it's just gathering the data and putting it next to each other, much simpler than almost everything else in the game. Great job to you and the ppm team, btw!

Here's his original comment:

Don't know if this idea was mentioned yet or if it does exists, but I was thinking it would be pretty cool if we could have head-to-head manager stats. You can have something in the Next Match tab like this:

MANAGER'S HEAD-TO-HEAD STANDINGS VS. (manager's name here)
League Game Record: 10-8
Cup Tournament Record: 2-1
Last Game: June 3rd, Home League Game, 10-7 Win

This way we can see which friends we dominate and which ones we need to work on.

Another thing that might not be as simple, but that I think is vital in soccer is to be able to set subs to happen IF something happens (not WHEN)

i.e. Say I play with a 4-4-2 and I'm playing a game I just MUST win... And I get scored on in the second half... In a situation like this, I'd like to set the subs to happen as soon as I get scored on, rather than have to set them to the score

Basically, add another setting to be able to make subs as soon as something happens rather than just have them depend on the scores at specific times

Don't think this wasn't suggested many times before. I have to say I'd like to see that too, but it was rejected because of the load it would cause on the database.

we just cannot cover all possibilities when it comes to substitutions. The current setup enables you to copy each substitution and then just change the minute. That way, you can achieve substitution very shortly after being scored on.

I apologize in advance if this has been asked/addressed already, but I'll admit, I didn't read through every post in this fairly lengthy thread...

Anyways. I was wondering if the developers could maybe develop some sort of subscription option for buying credits?

I'd love to buy credits and continue to support this project, but with exchange rates the way they are, it's very expensive to spend on even two sports (much less 3 or 4 when basketball is released).

I know it's just a mental thing (as it results in the same annual income for ppm), but I personally find it easier to justify $8-$10 leaving my bank account each month than dumping nearly $100 all at once.

Like I say, I wouldn't want this to be the only method of premium, but the option would be nice...

From a financial point of view, I'd imagine the subscriptions might be a benefit to ppm and ppm's planning too... You'd probably have a much better idea of how much cash you have coming in during any given timeframe.

I think you need to add an EARMARK function for PRO owners---

IE. I have 200 million dollars. For 198 million I can finish the last stage of the sports academy. The issue is there is 90 days until the previous construction is done. A PRO PACK owner can earmark 198 million towards the next stage before the current one is built so that it doesnt get used....

Just pay attention haha.

I'm kidding... that would actually be pretty nice.

Do these suggestions even get looked at though? I posted mine like 3 months ago here, and this thread has been a ghost town since. =(

I mentioned something about the NOTE section and the next update had it one there.... Id like to think it was me but who knows!

The main issue isnt paying attention- Its so that I dont wastefully spend it.

For goalie masks (hockey), gloves (soccer), and uniforms (handball) an option to essentially replace an existing element would be nice. For elements that have been personalized for a goalie no longer with the team, or a team that has changed its logo/color/whatever, teams end up being saddled with masks that no longer make sense. Perhaps an option to "sell it back" for a portion of the credits returned to use towards a replacement would be good. Otherwise, an option to "overwrite" an existing element for something like a 5 credit discount off of creating a new one could also work.

sheeesh. so you can't even take their mask/gloves/jersey back before you shed the player? Whata ripoff. No wonder I've never bothered using credits on such frivolity.
