Assunto: Questions & Answers

Yes my friend. Another day without answers and without being able to analyze their opponents. :/

forget to scout draft players yesterday, any chance to recover ?

Instant scout with credits.

I thought PPM doesn't give advantage in the game for credits.

How is this an advantage? This is comfort. He do not need to think about scouting. He can scout instantly now or later. If you do not have credit you need not to forget it.

Comfort is the biggest advantage in this game.

Maybe not so much with scouting, but for example with the market agent. If you want to buy a player without overpaying, you have to login in the middle of the night and spend half an hour bidding in the auction. People who can't afford logging in multiple times a day and can't pay for the market agent are in a huge disadvantage.

One can't change the ticket price for friendlies or adjust the lineup without logging in 3 times a day. That's losing money and energy of the players, and that's advantage. How about not being able to chose the draft order? If I have to be at work when the draft happens, why am I punished?

The game wants not only to reward players who choose the right tactics, but also those who login many times a day(and if you can't login frequently, you have to pay money to avoid the penalty).

I know it sounds a bit aggressive, but that's the way I see it.

then again, it is not advantage its comfort

Sorry, but you see it only one way. If the non paying user has time to spend he can have the same success as the paying user. This is something you wont have in most other online games where you cant never compete with the paying user. And btw you have disadvantage to the non paying user who has time to log in several times a day too. So what will you say to them?

I repeat, comfort is a huge advantage in this game. Theoretically, I can do the same things as paying users. But that's never going to happen. It just takes too much time.I will not go out of my way just to have the same possibilities as paying users.

How do you explain the fact, that no matter which country you look at, there are more paying users in upper divisions, and very few in the lower ones? There are also very few nonpaying teams in champions league. Do you think it's a coincidence that people who have a PRO pack happen to be better managers on average? It's the things that come with that comfort.

I don't know what happens in other online games, and I don't care. Maybe PPM is more fair than others, but it doesn't change the fact that there is a disparity here.

mm
how do i practice that ?
click instant scout directly ?
or leave it to last and click ?

I would advise to just continue scouting players normally till the draft gets closer. Once you know your position and see if there is any good players to pick, then it's time to decide what to do.

For example: You pick 1st and you've already found A player. Why pay credits to scout more? You already get what you want.

Other example: You have decen't rank to pick, but only found B max players. Spend some credits to scout the players you missed.

Yet another example: you will be one of the last players to pick on the draft.. why bother spending credits on players, which most likely will get picked up anyway by the teams having better order of pick?

But to answer your precise question: just click the instant scout directly to scout the players with credits. I would still recommend the method explained previously in this post.

very clear,
i will adopt your wonderful suggestion, thanks

I argue it's not as simple as you say. I'd rather say buying the PRO pack is the result of playing well and enjoying the game, not vice versa. If you want to play like PRO without having it, it's also very easy with these steps:

1. Set a clock alarm in your phone so that it reminds you after every match to change your tactic. You only really need 2 alarms every day even if you play multiple sports. That takes only couple minutes to set a continuing alarm and it'll help your life a lot!

2. Set a clock alarm before every transfer deadline for players you want to buy and before every draft window start to choose the players you scout.

3. Log in after every alarm and change your tactic or bid for player. I bet 99 % of people can do that. Even if they're at work, they have breaks and mobile phones with Internet access these days. It takes only a few minutes daily to change your tactic twice. If that's too much time in your opinion, your time must be very expensive and you seriously should think about buying the PRO.

4. Once a week, adjust your players' training. That shouldn't take more than 10 minutes.

So in principle: Make a little adjustment to your personal life to maximise your success in PPM. You don't really have to spend more than 10 minutes daily to do everything you have to.


If, for some reason, you don't want to do what I suggested, you can also adjust your playing style to your personal life This is what I did in football and I call it "lazy management":

1. I decided to go "old players only" so I don't need to bother about training or transfers deadlines. I can easily just bid for free agents and wait till someone joins my club.

2. I decided to choose a tactic I don't need to change: 4-4-2 with medium importance for whole season. With some adjustment before the start of regular season and playoffs, you could follow that approach also in basketball.

3. I decided to not build sporting academy so I don't need to worry about drafts.

4. I decided it's ok if I lose 0,08 points more energy per friendly match. After 50 friendly matches that's 4 points but on the other hand my players gain more experience and chemistry so it's not all waste.

This approach turned out to be very succesful for me. I started football in season 10 in IV.22 and in season 15 I already played in I.1.

im not happy with whats going on my draft, how come when i found grade A players i dont get the 1st pick but when im assigned the 1st pick all i get are d's and c's grade players

im not blaming anyone here just saying im not happy
with this everytime like now for example and till today all i got are D's

The previous owner of Stavros Petropoulos lied hugely about the qualities of the player in the chat, and I ended up overpaying a ton. Please, reverse the trade. This is not fair at all.
