Hey.
I need some help. On the web game i get past all the drafts and then get up to pre season trainning, i dont know what to do from there. Is this a dumb question??
Ben
Yes, because I haven't finished it yet. :)

The post in question has been deleted Ziplock ::)
oh lol, I thought you were talking about OP, and I was like- hey, now that's harsh...
This has been just over a year in the making, and it's finally here. The beta (i.e. public testing phase) of the Mr Football Australian football management simulation game is now open and free to play. Many elements have not been added in yet - most notably the integration with Facebook to enable buying of virtual items - but what is there should (fingers crossed) be playable without running into any show-stopping bugs. Parts of it will be unbalanced, but that's what the beta is for, to fix it, so give me as much feedback in this thread as you can possibly stand please!
Make your Mr Football beta team! (http://www.fanfooty.com.au/mrfootball/maketeam.php)
Currently, you can play as much as you like. The full game will include an energy system, as you may be familiar with from other Facebook games, whereby you are allocated a certain amount of energy to start with which allow you to do things in-game, and it takes a certain amount of time for that energy refresh so you can play some more. In the case of Mr Football, the energy will be in the form of "tickets", which you'd get four of to start with and only get four maximum, and you get a new one every two hours. Coding that is beyond my weary head at the moment, I'll look at it later.
The first problem (possibly unique to the beta) you may run into is finding other worthy teams to play against, especially if you race through the seasons and build a massively costly team. The dynamics of the fan rules mean that you'd be best off waiting for at least a dozen other teams to catch up to where your team value is, as playing against much weaker teams destroys your fan base pretty quickly. Similarly, I expect a bunch of you will want to push on to compile the most valuable team possible, so others will be left with a gap in between the noobs and the guns where they struggle to find competitive opponents. I plan on creating a bunch of robot teams with values all the way up the scale to fix this, eventually, but that will take time so you're on your own for now.
I need to fix a bunch of things in the rules document to align it with the rules that are actually in the code. That will come later as well. Most important thing to remember is that "Fan Δ" column on the selection page, which indicates the bonus or penalty to your fans you get from playing that opponent. As you can see, it gets pretty harsh if you play too many noobs for easy wins.
As I said, the point of this beta is for you guys to give me feedback, so I want to hear every little interesting thought in your head as you play it. Yes, I know it's very bare bones at the moment. Nevertheless, I hope you'll be able to see the building blocks of a great game in there. Enjoy!
Right. So.. sign in page... how do I press enter?
Should be fine now.
If its possible, it would be good to have the options that appear at the top on the list page on the players screen so I can upgrade players and go straight back to selection, rather than upgrade, click back and refresh (pedantic I know, but you wanted feedback).
You can BB. Just click on the name of your team once you have upgraded one of your players ;)
That just sends me here:
http://www.fanfooty.com.au/mrfootball/otherlist.php?id=557
So it doesnt work for me.
I don't know then.
I seem to be stuck. I have finished my first season, and the status says post season, and the stage is list management. I have upgraded everyone's skills and attributes, but can't seem to go any further?
What do I do now?
noticed every single team i can play is on negative fans so regardless of who i play i lose fans
other then that everything seems to be running smoothly ;)
Ive finished the season with 1527 fans. Isnt it a bit unrealistic that you lose 1000 fans for not winning? I think I may have even lost fans when I won.
(http://i.imgur.com/6Cxsz.png)
What do I do now?
awesome elimination Final time and i'm playing Carlton!!
great stuff M0nty
Edit: and i got smashed...lol
also what is the go with this in the match i lost to carlton
DazBurgs Greatness lost 10628 fans after this match to take their number of fans to -4,049 (fan Δ of -11826). +4
so now i'm at the assistant coach part and i cannot upgrade because lack of fans
and i know m0nty you said racing through seasons will do it
but this was the first season
Ive done a season with 2 different teams and both times I get to near the end and the game does not allow me to do anything because it is wrongfully saying I have played teams more than 2 times. Why is this happening? first time is said I played Angry Beavers 4 times (incorrect) and now, after deleting my old team and trying again, it says I have played Ziplock's Zipbags 3 times.
I am just going through the draft now - when I choose a player marked as a "C" my running shows them as a back.

Now that I have selected a back it fixes it up.
i'm stuck on the list management part cannot see how i can cut players which i think is what it wants me to do
I have completed my draft and pre-season training. I am now assigning my potential points to my players. I select the player I want to use and then assign the pot points. From there the only link back to my team is in one line
$370,000 Ruck • valkorum • Drafted in team season 0 • Player season 4
I can click this link to go back and choose the next player - once I have assigned all my player points there is no other link for me to click except for delete team and start again
I was able to get back to my team by changing the url from
http://www.fanfooty.com.au/mrfootball/otherlists.php
to

It would also be good if you could sort your team list by the column headings (especially when selecting your team)

If that link takes you back to list.php instead of otherlist.php then I think that should fix the problem.
The other thing I have noticed is that you lose fans when you win and gain fans when you lose?
Example of an away game win
Final score: stikit 2.3.15 vs valkorum 14.24.108 (valkorum by 93).
valkorum lost 474 fans after this match to take their number of fans to 6,167 (fan Δ of -1106). (2,2,4,5) +7.))
Example of a home loss
Final score: valkorum 13.11.89 vs Extreme 16.23.119 (Extreme by 30).
valkorum gained 61 fans after this match to take their number of fans to 6,228 (fan Δ of -1098). (3,3,4,5) +5.))

I've been having the same problem valk. Can't work out how to go on to the next stage, which I would assume is next years draft...
change the url from otherlist to list and you should be able to get to the next stage.

That's what I have been doing
I havent been able to find out how long your players are injured for (except for the game log when they got injured)
Yer neither. But injuries are kinda helpful cos it means I can play weaker teams and still get fans.
I am losing fans left right and centre
22 games - 16 wins, 6 losses.... -2,867 fans
After Elim Final against St Kilda
valkorum lost 10025 fans after this match to take their number of fans to -12,892 (fan Δ of -11267). (4,5,5,6) +3.))
16 games in and I'm 14-2, but have rested players to weaken my team to try and get more fans.
Quote from: MajorLazer on January 11, 2012, 03:01:55 PM

Yeah but then I still can't go on to the next season or draft or anything. It is just stuck
I only just finished my first season, so I don't know what to do.
Lost to Sydney by 99 points and lost ~10,000 fans. :(
Ok, I see what's up now. You are stuck at list management with nothing to do, right?
I didn't even make the finals. Finished with 10 wins and 12 losses :(
That sucks. The only games I lost were games I rested my good guys to try and get more fans.
I'm doing my season now. I can't seem to lose, i even beat Monty's team :-\ Twice. :D
That's what happened with my team PB, but then you will lose fans every match if your team gets better and you play worse teams.
got to the Elim, played the Saints and...
Final score: St Kilda 31.22.208 vs Hilly's Heroics 2.6.18 (St Kilda by 190)
N.Roo kicked 6 and Scneider kicked 8.
so after the final and the assistant coach part has anyone been able to get past the list management into the next season
\?

Can't get past it either.
Thought that putting my Potential Points stuff to my players would make me progress to the next stage.
Well it didn't but...
COACH: HillHero13 Home Ground: Woolloongabba. Team value: $16,051,000. Make a new team and delete this one
Status: Postseason. Stage: List Management.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah Buuuuuuddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddyyy
Final score: Gippsland Stallions 19.15.129 vs Bored Saints 4.2.26 (Gippsland Stallions by 103)
;D
How do I stop it from thinking I have played 3+ matches against 1 opponent? This means I cant even get to postseason.
What would you guys say is the most important stat (Kick etc...). And does Height and Weight really matter?
I draft my guys purely on kicking and my team went 18-4 and could have done even better.
I started again cos I was bored and drafted it so with the main picks where you get the good guys I took all key position players then. Seemed to do pretty well that way, playing youngsters in the pockets and flanks.
Got to the finals and played Sydney. Was behind by 1 at quarter time, but then lost by about 70 something and lost 10k fans :(
i have a problem where i shared the link with a work colleague and now his team comes up when drafting but mine if i click on other links. If i do try and draft under his name i am taken to the home page where i have to sign up again?
Those stuck on the list management phase need to visit this page:
http://www.fanfooty.com.au/mrfootball/listmanagement.php
That is where you delist players in preparation for the draft. I need to merge that with the list page today, that's one of my jobs.
I'll get on the other bugs presently.
So far I am 3-5, but have plenty of potential points to use on players (I'll do that later). Also discovered I have a few guns in there first season as well as a few good P platers...
Just beat you twice m0nty... You have some work to do ;)
I see someone's already onto their second season. :)

I should warn people, you need to pay very close attention to your fan levels, because if you don't reach 30,000 by the end of season 2, you're going to have to downgrade a bunch of assistant coaches. The first two seasons are about building your fan base, since your team isn't strong enough to compete in finals anyway.

There was a bug in the code for the finals which has been fixed.
Try to play teams similar to your own selected team value. Playing much weaker teams all the time is a recipe for fans deserting your club in droves, even if you keep winning.
played 8 games and cant play my ninth cos one or both teams are failing to load properly (tried to play every team)

swapped some players around and it worked... before i even tried to play against yours monty but no luck. (Does this mean you are involved with another match?)

If you select a weaker team and play better ones, your fans will go back up and things will get better.

You can only play another team when they are also at the Selection stage during the regular season. If they're in Training or somewhere in the pre- or post-season then you can't play them.

well tanked as much as i could and still fell short of 30000 fans...reckon that first season screwed me
especially losing 10000 in that final
the tough thing is for my team to gain maximum fans i gotta play a weak side which i get thrashed in....but to win i cannot gain the amount of fans i need
Played the strongest team in every game, but ended up with less than 5000 fans by the end of second season.
Meant I had to downgrade 25 coaching positions!!
Think I might just have to start again...
Would also be good if you could have a trade period before the draft
been playing a slightly weaker side still just reached to milestones +500 fans each...so for the match i got +1206 fans ;D

Good, that means the system works. I have purposely set it up to discourage tanking by playing way stronger teams.
Try playing teams nearer your own team value. You'll grow fans organically if you keep winning, plus you are a better chance of getting those all-important trophies with the +500 fan bonuses.

No m0nty I wasn't tanking. Finished the season 18 wins 4 losses.
I had to play the strongest teams cos they were closer to my value.

Think I might just have to start again...
Good, that means the system works. I have purposely set it up to discourage tanking by playing way stronger teams.
Try playing teams nearer your own team value. You'll grow fans organically if you keep winning, plus you are a better chance of getting those all-important trophies with the +500 fan bonuses.
No m0nty I wasn't tanking. Finished the season 18 wins 4 losses.
I had to play the strongest teams cos they were closer to my value.
Hmm, well in that case you might be playing teams who also don't have many fans? Crowd sizes also have an effect on your fan roll after games.

An ok. Well will give it another go tomorrow then and see what happens :)
One or both of the teams has failed to load properly. Please go to the selection page and start over.
I'm still getting this, I am on my phone, and I have swapped players around and everything.

That's supposed to be the challenge. 8)
First game of the season was against the Richmond Redbeards - Lost by 59.
Second game of the season was against the Richmond Redbeards - Lost by 88
>:(
2-2 m0nty ;)
The crowd for this match is 16,463, made up of 8,494 fans of Vorriers (84%), 6,538 fans of Gippsland Stallions (46%) and 1,431 neutral fans.
Your math is a bit off there m0nty.
Once you click "Choose your team and select your opponent" that is what is used to calculate the fan difference. If you make changes to your team before you click on the game it doesnt appear to take the changes in to consideration when calculating the fan change at the end of the game.

The percentages are of the amount of fans each team has. 8,494 is 84% of the Vorriers' fans.
Whenever I try to play against someone it says I have already played them...
nice work with the best and worst and guns and rookies buttons m0nty
Selected team value: $12,117,000
oh yeah 8)
I like the play the kids button. Coz then i see all the potential that i get after the game and i start thinking i'm doing something right, even though nothing much is really happening.
Who has positive amount of fans? m0nty and I do, think Valk does as well... Anyone else?

i do into my 4th season after the end of season 2 having to do -1 on two coaches i'm now got them back to 0 and got 3 others up to +3
and already start of this season have enough fans to get another coach at EOS
Looks like I've got a bit of catching up to do now. Everything has been improved a lot, m0nty. So much easier to use now. :)
I have 20,000 fans at the start of 2nd season. Did everyone have that?
For test purposes only ;) I played the kids all season (came away with a 12-10 season) except for the 2 games against m0nty (which I lost :P) and now my fans are 39,645
What does the Fan triangle mean? And I still can't play games...
Now I cant run my next seasons draft.
I click on the button and it just loads the header details of the table. I boosted up my assistants (+3 recruitment/development), delisted 4 players and now I cant access the draft

Fixed this problem. Just have to log out then in again...
And because this is a Beta does this mean we will lose our teams when the official version comes out :(
I don't want to lose Carlson :'(
Problem happening again...
Query:
I have just finished my first season with a 17-5 win-loss record. Why is that I am in the elimination final and not the qualifying final? Surely a team with this kinda record in real life would finish in the top 4, not between 5th-8th.
Another one:
I know a lot of us have found that winning matches results in a loss of fans and assistants. What have people found happens when they downgrade their assistants by -1 after completing their sesason?

The finals system has been simplified down to three games. Your record dictates how easy your opponents are.

I got absolutely smashed by the Saints. :P
The Guns & Rookies button works now, it was bugged there for a while.
The way it works is...
Best 22: Most expensive players, obviously.
Worst 22: Cheapest players.
Guns & rookies: Most expensive players for the first 11 slots, then the youngest players for the last 11.
Play the kids: Youngest players.
Just a reminder on the order in which positions are allocated:
RK1 CHF CHB FF FB RK2 RRV ROV C LFP RBP
LW RW LFF RBF RFP LBP RFF LBF UT1 UT2 SUB
This means that your best KF goes at CHF, your best KB goes at CHB, your best midfielders go in the following division, the best F goes in the left forward pocket and the best B goes in the right back pocket. This means that the best should always be matched up on the best if people stick to best 22s.
If anyone has ideas on other selection templates, I'd be all ears.
I have just delisted most of my old guns, because I can't improve them anymore and I played the kids the whole season.
I have added buttons on the list page for "Rest top 5" and "Rest top 10" selection templates.
monty, whenever i start a game now, it can't load the whole page, it will load the first quater and no more, making me refresh, i do that and it still doesn't work.
This has happened to me when I've tried to play against CM's team, but not against any other teams.

I tried using my worst 22 and that worked.
It's just my best 22 that doesn't.
There are a few little issues with the selection code.
Love it all so far m0nty ;D

Same here. Maybe the beta test is only a 2 season game
Maybe m0nty is trying to fix it now?
I have been trying to fix it. The problem appears to be that when I increase the draft pool, the server can't handle the size of what it's doing so the database queries fail. I think I have worked something out, though it means changing the way the recruitment assistant works. It needs more testing though.
well ML is fine now but i stillcant draft
m0nty the drafts are working fine now, but there is another problem now. Everything under the commentary, excluding the stats table, has turned into a hyperlink, but you can't click it to go anywhere.
Fixed that match bug. I have cleaned up that page a little, you now get taken to the bit of the page with the scores and stats, with the button to continue just under it.
Yep that's fixed for me, but now the draft is stuck again. :(
It's probably a good time for me to stop playing anyway as I have to play my worst 22 just to stay in positive fans. Hopefully a few other teams can catch up and I can go all out against them and get fans.
Still cant draft :/
It told me twice I had played teams that I didn't play, so my amount of games played than my amount of teams showing up.
The draft should run now. I'm still not sure what caused it to stop working, obviously it's the load on the server but I hadn't changed anything from back when it was working. Perhaps there is some server setting I should relax, possibly in the PHP setting.
Suffer an injury - Have at least one of your players injured (10/10 milestone!) +500 fans
So proud to have that award :P
when i got to play a match now it doesn't all load even if i keep hitting refresh it loads a little more then refresh again and goes back to only having half the first qtr
then eventually it might finish the game from clicking refresh but other times it doesn't
now it seems better all of a sudden :o
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1
got that error when trying to pick a player in the draft
How do I load my team from a different computer?
I was able to get to it by typing this manually in to the address bar:
http://fanfooty.com.au/mrfootball/list.php?id=** (I am not revealing my id number :P)
I have also found that it is quite buggy in IE8 (8.0.6001.18702)
The POT still shows on list.php after you have used it
Team selection's dont change (on click of buttons), although it does change after I make 1 manual change
finished 1st season but now im stuck. I am in list management and believe i need to delist players to commence the draft. I cannot find anywhere to go to do so. i think i have clicked on every available link to do so.

mine just has all the draftees listed but everyone already drafted there's no spare player left for me to draft
My login timed out during the draft (so I left it over night!), however, now when going back to the draft, "You are now taking your round 1 pick of 2. There are 2 players taken between your picks.", but there are no players to draft!
I was in the middle of cutting players at the end of the season, when I started upgrading players qualities.
Now I cant find a way to get back to cutting players, so cant do anything more.
Final score: Legally Bowled 30.17.197 vs Roo Boys Pioneers 5.7.37 (Legally Bowled by 160).
Legally Bowled goals: Roberts 7, Lyons, Boland 5, Allan 4, Macaffer 3, Austin 2, Lucas, Clark.
Roo Boys Pioneers goals: Monaco 3, McIntosh 2.
I played my worst side in that game (9.12mil), against a side that was around 10mil. That's a big difference. :o
Final score: Carlton 9.12.66 vs Legally Bowled 14.15.99 (Legally Bowled by 33).
Won my first final! :)
But i don't get this:
It's a final! - Play in a final +500 fans
Elimination - Play in an elimination final +500 fans
Turned up - Get within 60 points in a final +500 fans
Tried - Get within 30 points in a final +500 fans
So near - Get at least a draw in a final +500 fans
Over the line - Win a final +500 fans
Close one - Win by 30 points in a final +500 fans
I get all that but still manage to lose 80 fans after the match. ???
EDIT:
Final score: Hawthorn 0.6.6 vs Legally Bowled 14.17.101 (Legally Bowled by 95).
Hawthorn goals: .
Legally Bowled goals: Honybun 6, Macaffer 2, Gilmore, Boland, Anderson, Aitken, Kreuzer, Lucas.
Into the big GF!!
RE-EDIT:
Final score: Collingwood 8.5.53 vs Legally Bowled 9.17.71 (Legally Bowled by 18)
Collingwood goals: Cloke 3, Didak 2, Swan, Macaffer.
Legally Bowled goals: Kreuzer 3, Macaffer 2, Honybun, Anderson, Lucas.
Dane Swan 198 DT points
Sharod Wellingham 176 DT points (Star of the match)
D.Jolly and D.Thomas both injured and missed most of the match, and fatigue hit Collingwood in the last quarter.
I haven't heard of anyone else winning the GF yet, so the bar is set. After 7 seasons i managed to win. (NOTE: this is my first team, i never re-started at any time)
Best 22: $13'508'000 :D
i seem to be the most hated team in the comp i have -7000 fans. There arent enought assistant downgrades left for me to make to move forward to the delisting stage. I need to make another 18 downgrades..... help?

Did you delist a large number of players prior to the draft, like 12 or more, is that why you ran out of players to draft?
yeah i did delist a few not sure on the exact amount but got rid of the oldies
DazBurg, I have wound your status back to the list management of the previous postseason. I will fix the list management code so that you can only delist down to a point where you don't run out of players to draft.

awesome
thanks m0nty
yeah making a max you can delist a great idea i thought when i got stuck it was cause i delisted too many but as i was delisting i wasn't sure how many i could didn't know that it was too many at the time
now when i finished the draft and do the preseason he goes to the list but says i'm still in preseason
like when i go to preseason training i can see all the older players i cut
when i click continue i see all my new players there no potential done and still says i'm in preseason
Quote from: m0nty on January 12, 2012, 09:53:25 PM
I think I have fixed that bug, Q. Try again please.
Thanks m0nty! :) Fixed... For now :P
Hey m0nty any chance that there can be a default team button so after every match I have to change my team back????
Actually yer that would be really useful. Only just realised I couldn't do that.
Suggestions (sorry if there on the list):
--------------------
1) Filters on the Draft screen: Allow to filter by Position and stats. Maybe Search.
2) Count of players by Position on the Left. Rucks don't seem to count in the draft.
3) Keep the header line with the attribute names as you scroll n the draft
4) in the draft, Tooltips on those Headers. Either just the full names or the name/description
5) In the setup draft that has no picks between your picks, give multiple choice option
6) 100 goal season trophy, commentary.
That will do for now. Have some sort of idea about limits to attributes depending on other attributes but will think about/write it later.

You mean a "last round" button? Yeah, that's a good call.
Yer something so we don't have to keep changing the team we had if the other buttons aren't exactly what we wanted.

My login timed out during the draft (so I left it over night!), however, now when going back to the draft, "You are now taking your round 1 pick of 2. There are 2 players taken between your picks.", but there are no players to draft!
Hey Monty, I'm still broken mate. Jump into my account and click on draft.
When I press the start draft button, it's got the players that I had picked there, but won't allow me to select anyone in the next group.
I have fixed the teams locked at R22.
m0nty,
As mentioned earlier, I finished the season with a 17-5 record. In that time, I lost all my fans, ended in the negatives and now its come time to cut the list and add assistants.
But I have -30 odd assistants, wouldn't this make my team go backwards and not improve? Is this right or is this a bug?

Dude, minus 37 thousand fans? What the?
I think I am going to have to make a rule for a minimum amount of fans.
My games is still locked after a first final win:
--------------------------------
Jobs done: basic game code, text commentary, scoring, goalkicker list, junktime, full statistics, DT scoring, fatigue, knocks, injuries, weather, grounds, crowds
To do list: line tactics, random events
This game has already been played.
The result was The AFLSpace.com No-stars 15.7.97, Sydney 11.7.73.
===========================
I'm making my team, on the 2nd draft, I think. It goes back to the home page of FanFooty?? I can't take anymore picks
I have a problem, my worst 22 is priced at $10'274'000. Meaning there aren't many more games i can play where i can gain fans. :(

That happens when your cookie expires, I think. Try logging out and back in again. Alternately, your draft may be over already, check the Stage column up the top. You may need to go to the Preseason link to start your preseason.

hey M0nty how do i delete the team i got to start again?
if i just make a new team that would double up wouldn't it
just easier to start again i really did stuff mine up and it;s easier then trying to fix it....this way at least i know the first 2 seasons are for gathering fans this time ;)
I have my first problem, and it's quite embarrasing. My Full back got injured, Mark Clarke (http://www.fanfooty.com.au/mrfootball/playerprofile.php?id=13789), and i only have 1 other Key Back, meaning i can't put anyone in the Full back position, meaning i can't play my games.
Help needed obviously, no rush though. :)
Hi m0nty.
Would love to be able to view the national draftees (over change of season) before cutting the squad. Feel now I am cutting blind and hoping that there is some talent worth picking up.
Knowing what is coming can allow for better trimming of the list.
Also worth noting... I love that some of the kids I have drafted have developed into key players after 2-4 seasons... enjoying that aspect of the game.
Well set-up m0nty!

That was done deliberately, but you're probably right, I should generate the draftees earlier.

Another obvious enhancement I am sure is on the schedule, player histories.
On a similar note, team records page with things like all time goal kicking, disposal, etc, etc and also best single game figures.
Hall of fame for your team maybe?
Just some more thoughts. Is this the right place for them Mont?
This is the right place for them, yes. Keep them coming.

See m0nty, every game I won last season resulted in the loss of fans. We know this doesn't happen in real life, it's the total opposite! Why does this happen?
This is also why at the end of the season I now have a negative amount of assistants....

You know I value your input Molly, you've been my best tester in the history of FF! :D
@c4 You lost fans because you only played weaker teams all season. If you play stronger teams 99% of the time you will gain fans.
100-gamer - Have a player play 100 matches (first time awarded!) +500 fans
Nice
I have added the code so that your fans never drop below 10,000.

I think it's just a turn of phrase valk.
Time I compiled a list of all the little jobs I need to do, so I don't forget them.
- make front page with links to what page you should be going to based on the stage your team is at
- Delete Team button for front page
- merge List Management page with List page
- prevent too many delistings
- Last Round button for selection templates
- fix team list table on the draft room, especially for new teams
- amend selection code for when you don't have enough specialists to fill positions
- re-sort links on the draft room (filters are not appropriate though)
- fix draft code so that people can restart drafts if the code fails to generate player lists
- generate national draft list before the list management phase and add the top X to the list page so people have an idea of what talent is coming up
- tooltips on a bunch of tables
- medal counts and stat tables on player profiles
- training report, including seconds MVP
Other suggestions welcome.
13 items to do on Friday the 13th! Spooky. :o
I know it is supposed to be a challenge to get the right balance between winning and getting fans, but it seems a little too easy to lose fans right now. I am in the same situation as PB where my worst 22 is worth about $10.5 million and I can't play many games where I can actually gain fans.
Just now I am having issues where the game page isnt loading fully (therefore the link to get back to team list isnt showing)
Another one I like is to award / reward a team for keeping opposition scoreless in a quarter or goalless thru a match.
Worth an award and +1000 fans m0nty?
Maj Lazer etal.
Another thing I noticed is if you play your best 22, your opposition choices are limited.
Play Guns & Rookies and you get a much wider selection.

This is the problem that I discussed in the OP, it was to be expected. Adding in robot teams with higher values would go some way towards fixing this. I have also thought that teams should be encouraged to put their best 22 up for selection all the time, so maybe when you play someone else's team and the opponent wins, the opponent gets an extra handful of fans.
I haven't been able to play my best 22 because then I can only play 5 teams. I've been playing my worst 22 so I can play games and get a few fans, but always lose because of the fact that they are my worst 22.
Taking a break from the game at the moment as it keeps crashing (too many connections). Also happening on the forum.

The problem I have found is that I have to play my worst 22 most games because I lose too many fans by fielding my best team.
If you field your best team and play a team that has a lower value than you then the fan loss is really high - regardless if you win or lose.
If you field your best team and play a similar priced team I have found you still get a fan loss.
If you field your worst team and play a team that has a higher value than you the fan gain is very low.
If you field any team and play against a similar priced team then the fan gain is a mixture of low gain and low loss.
It just doesnt feel quite balanced yet m0nty, although it probably feels worse than it actually is because there are only a few teams. If you had a 200+ opponents to choose from it wouldn't feel as extreme because many teams will be similar in ability to you.
I've got a simple question, how do you leave the game mid-way through a season and then go back and continue playing.

Also, was there any thought to have players retire not just delisted? Perhaps a roll at the end of the year for players 12+ seasons? Like real footy, sometimes its hard to delist a champion of your club. Retirement would be so much better!
PS. At the end of the season I delisted the 3 guys I had with fony potential points totals!
I was just about to say that one as well Molly (retirement)
I won the grand final and still lost fans - where are the bandwagoners :P
Final score: Collingwood 13.6.84 vs valkorum 17.13.115 (valkorum by 31).
valkorum lost 23 fans after this match to take their number of fans to 58,406 (fan Δ of 0). -4.

Come on Molly... get ruthless and delist your aging stars. Just think back to the Hawthorn approach to Tucky...
knives out!
One thing I noted with a few players is that getting to 12 seasons they start to lose skill (as expected), but i have yet to see a player get to 200 games, and I cant imagine them reaching 300 yet (let alone KB and Tucky getting 400).
Are you aging the players a bit too quickly?
Just throwing it out there...

I wonder if that is partially due to the fact that those players at present were from the original draft and so where started at say Season 5 or higher.
The other thing that would effect it is that, if you are like a lot of us, you have to rest your best players to find teams to play meaning they aren't playing 22 games a year, year in year out as others do.
One idea I did wonder about is this, if you are after making the game like real footy, could you have the possibility that an injury effects stats either permanently or just for a period of time? IE. If you get a knee injury, could reduce the Dash of a player for the rest of their career.
Just a though.
Another tweak m0nty...
the POT numbers are OK, but would it be possible on the list page to put another number after the pot number to show how much you can use?
FOR EXAMPLE -player X has 8 pot points but only 2 ways to 'spend' them, so it would be listed as 8 (2)
Reason...I seem to spend ages clicking each players name to find there is little to no spend of the pot points... frustrating!
Just a small bug - the 3rd name of a player didn't capitalize
Vern Jones younger
It also doesnt seem right that if I delist 3 players that I get 2 picks in the national draft and 1 pick in the next draft. Shouldn't I get 3 picks in the national draft.

This is the problem that I discussed in the OP, it was to be expected. Adding in robot teams with higher values would go some way towards fixing this. I have also thought that teams should be encouraged to put their best 22 up for selection all the time, so maybe when you play someone else's team and the opponent wins, the opponent gets an extra handful of fans.
The problem I have found is that I have to play my worst 22 most games because I lose too many fans by fielding my best team.
If you field your best team and play a team that has a lower value than you then the fan loss is really high - regardless if you win or lose.
If you field your best team and play a similar priced team I have found you still get a fan loss.
If you field your worst team and play a team that has a higher value than you the fan gain is very low.
If you field any team and play against a similar priced team then the fan gain is a mixture of low gain and low loss.
It just doesnt feel quite balanced yet m0nty, although it probably feels worse than it actually is because there are only a few teams. If you had a 200+ opponents to choose from it wouldn't feel as extreme because many teams will be similar in ability to you.
The key to increasing fans is to keep the fan delta low by playing similar value teams, and then shooting for the trophies with those +500 fan bonuses. This, of course, means racking up stats and wins. So if you're beating similar teams consistently, eventually those trophies will come and keep coming as you hit milestones, and your fans level will gradually improve. That's the secret to that part of the game.

Another one I like is to award / reward a team for keeping opposition scoreless in a quarter or goalless thru a match.
Worth an award and +1000 fans m0nty?
Maj Lazer etal.
Another thing I noticed is if you play your best 22, your opposition choices are limited.
Play Guns & Rookies and you get a much wider selection.
In a quarter no, since that is often caused by wind factor. For the game, sure I could see that.
Quote from: TKYC on January 13, 2012, 05:16:33 PM
One thing I noted with a few players is that getting to 12 seasons they start to lose skill (as expected), but i have yet to see a player get to 200 games, and I cant imagine them reaching 300 yet (let alone KB and Tucky getting 400).
Are you aging the players a bit too quickly?
Just throwing it out there...
The stats don't start really dropping off until after season 14, so you get a window of 22 * 14 = 308 games, plus finals, minus injuries.

You should be able to work that out yourself by looking at the attributes and mousing over the plus sign after the skills.
Having said that, I suppose it would be appropriate to take the blue colour off the potential number if no upgrades can be done.

See you are working on the Profile pages. We have height/Weight in the draft but not on the Profile pages. Would be good to maintain that even if it is never updated.

Walesy and others whose draft were stuck should now be able to progress.
You guys are getting pretty good. I'm 1-5 in my latest season, including a one-point loss to Molly with a kick in the last minute. :(
I have amended the Worst 22 code so that it fills the spots in the normal order now. Previously it filled up the important spots with the weakest players, which meant it was not only the worst team, but picked in the worst positions. Now it's more competitive.
Can't get past the elimination final... Says "Select your team and play your final" so I click that and it says error loading finals opponent... :-\
That would be because you don't deserve one with a 5-17 record! :P

Ok, so i can't pick someone to play in the CHB position, it auto-fills it for me. And i lost to Valk by 5 points in a low scoring match.
Looks like my side is back.
EIDT: Or not, now it won't auto-fill for me.
Whenever i press the "Send recruiter out to scout the national draft prospects" button at the end of the season it says that the draft is not running for this team.
On a side note, has anyone got a player worth more than $1 million?
Because of those injuries, my side didn't make finals and has been seriously hammered by having to downgrade 10 times. Now to rebuild.
That recruiter bug has now been fixed.
You will also now notice that you may be forced to retire players. The rule for this is that if any of a player's attributes is 2 or lower at the end of their 14th or higher season (which would drop to 1 after the next preseason), they automatically retire.

The seconds Potential bug has been fixed. Note that if you don't have any players not playing who are able to be improved by the seconds coach, there are no Potential points given out. The seconds coach is able to improve players with seasons equal to his rating plus four, thus a +0 coach can improve players up to season 4, and a +3 up to season 7, and so on.

How come I haven't seen Adelaide in any of the final matches? :P

I suppose Freo isnt in there because all our players are injured :P
How hard is it to win a final? Lost all 3 so far..
And are all 1st finals elims?
Have been throwing an idea around the head. Taggers as a position?

I have been planning on Tag as a skill, but a special one that you only get outside the normal skill process, called a trait. This is where ideas like "Zone Off" would work too. Not sure exactly how to introduce it, I think it will come in the eventual post-launch update when I add line tactics and in-game coaching decisions. At launch, though, it won't be that complex.
Quote from: m0nty on January 14, 2012, 09:27:17 PM
Yes, for some reason Hawthorn is massively underpowered. I will fix that. :)
Good idea.
Two things:
1) My sub never comes into play, even if another player gets injured for the game.
2) I can't wait for these "random events" to be added. What will they include?

One thing I noted with a few players is that getting to 12 seasons they start to lose skill (as expected), but i have yet to see a player get to 200 games, and I cant imagine them reaching 300 yet (let alone KB and Tucky getting 400).
Are you aging the players a bit too quickly?
Just throwing it out there...
The stats don't start really dropping off until after season 14, so you get a window of 22 * 14 = 308 games, plus finals, minus injuries.
Fair enough, but I have seen points come off players from season 10 and 11. Unless I'm mis-reading it.
Thanks for the green line under the team form button. Another idea is to have
a- a 'custom' put at the end of the buttons, which comes into play after you select, for example 'best 22', and then modify one or two possies (as I do)
b- after I play a custom team as above, I note the team reverts back to the button clicked and drops the custom players i put in ...ideal to keep the selected unless i re-click the team format button.
Finally, I saw the top 10 draftees before cutting my list... which is good, but the one time I have cme across it, it was the previous years 10... Just me, or a bug?
Love the work m0nty!
Not sure if this is a bug or anything but how come these two players of the same height have different "Tall" modifiers?
---------------
Max Evans R/KF 7 124 10 8 5 7 5 5 204 109 $667k 3 Tall +5 +
Andy Canaway R/KF 12 188 10 7 6 6 7 4 204 109 $661k 2 Tall +3 +

The team is not supposed to revert, it's supposed to default to the last picked team. I haven't quite got that working yet.
The other thing won't happen after your next draft.

One or two stats get lowered in seasons 11-14, but it's not until season 15 that every stat falls.

I'm not allowing that, as I don't want half-filled teams.
Thanks for that.
One other on the draft... we send out the recruiter, but would it be possible in time to send out to ID what we need.
Example... I would like to know of FWDS, but the news coming back is on MIDS, Rucks etc.
Obviously, you should see the full list, but if there is some way to target the initial news to the needs, that could be interesting.
I guess also the report on those that you asked for (eg FWDS) shoudl also mean they are not in the top 10. Perhaps 2 lists -top10 and targets (max 2 i.e. Fwds, backs, or ruck, key backs etc).
Another is to re-draft a player you have just de-listed... not sure i have seen that yet.
Just chucking it out there!

You're getting a bit too in depth there, Craig. Top 10 is what you get and you will LIKE IT. :P
Also, re-drafting a player that has been delisted is something I will save for the private leagues. You can assume that all your delisted players got snapped up by other clubs.
Okay then, time for a new to-do list.
- selection not reverting to last teamsheet bug
- Tall bug whereby the bonus doesn't increase when height increases in preseason
- sub gets subbed in, either to replace first injured player, or at 15 minute mark of Q3 if no one is injured (red bib goes to the most fatigued in the cheapest 11).
- sortable list page
- integrate the finals teams into regular ladder play by making them playable in H&A as robot opponents
- balance finals teams to reflect relative team values
- random events... probably not for games just yet, but at least implement some of them for training
- make sure every assistant coach is operational
- change drafts after first season so that your first pick is dependent on your previous season's performance... you only get pick #1 if you get four wins or less, for example... if you make finals you get a much lower first pick
- revamp for match page, make it more easily viewable on one screen without as much scrolling
- have the match commentary progress through the quarters in updates rather than just all the text appear at once
- update Rules document to reflect recent changes
Phew!
http://www.fanfooty.com.au/mrfootball/playerprofile.php?id=18471 ... Not complaining but guessing it's a bug lol
Ok so I managed to re-create it on another player (on purpose to see if that was the reason). I clicked on any of the +1 attribute or +1 skills and then clicked again and it gave the player 255 potential points...

Yep, had that happen too. I think because I clicked twice on a +1 skill upgrade button when I only had 1 POT point to use.
Not the sames as above but seem to be getting +2 for each attribute.

While their is the issue of not enough gun teams, the seconds MVP Potiental Point is a killer. I have to play my worst side every week and I have some young guns that are just picking up points at a rate they wouldn't in the big games. Not sure what you do about that, just thought I would mention it.

Like I said at the top of the thread, I really do think this is a problem unique to the beta. The launch game will have a bunch of robot teams of varying values to fill it out even before anyone starts.
I'm thinking of instituting a fans delta penalty for playing your worst 22, something like 100 fans. However, it would be tricky to implement. Maybe a penalty of 20 fans for each of your top 5 healthy players that you don't play. Something like that.
just into my 3rd season and doesn't matter if i play best or worst or play the kids they all say + 0 fans

Yep, I changed it so that you can't get any positive fan delta once your fans are above 30,000. This is to prevent coaches tanking their way to massive fan totals.

There is no limit as such, but as you get closer to 60,000, the penalties on your fan roll get stiffer.
Something wrong with the team Hip 'n' Shoulder... Every time I try & play them it says the teams haven't loaded fully & they're showing twice on the selection page...

Well I have decided I'm going to make a new team to see what it's like from the start with all of these improvements.
Should be fun. :)
Hi,
Have just played through two seasons and am completely hooked. However, for some reason I cannot seem to progress to the 3rd season.
I've hit the preseason tab, and it then directs you to your list. But there doesn't seem to be anywhere to click to move onto things like delistings like it has the previous two seasons. Am I missing something?
Also, how does the assisstants part of the game work? I only seem to have a downgrade option?
Regards,
Toby

The rules of the game are that you start with +0 assistants in every position, but after each season (except for the first one), you must downgrade your assistants to meet your fan levels, according to the rules in the rule document. You didn't reach 30,000 fans after season 2, thus you must do some downgrading.

I am not sure how hard to go on that. At some point I will put out a tender on one of the design freelancer sites for a set of images. That's one of my other jobs.
I am adding in a few robot teams. You will notice the Kew Cottagers and the Carringbush Jackdaws. For some reason the former is eminently beatable but I can't get near the latter...

Report for m0nty...
1. Finals last night.
close on v WCE:
West Coast ($0.000M) 11.7.73 vs Poor Old Mr. Ballsack ($11.909M) 10.15.75.
defeated Geelong comfortably
Geelong ($0.000M) 1.9.15 vs Poor Old Mr. Ballsack ($11.909M) 9.9.63.
BUG?first GF and a close enough game
Collingwood ($0.000M) 11.7.73 vs Poor Old Mr. Ballsack ($11.962M) 7.15.57.
didnt realise my team was so good.
2. List Cutting
before I started I noticed this:
QuoteYou need to cut your list to at least 37 players before you enter the draft. You currently have 39 players.
Do I normally have 40 players and has one 'retired' or somehow dropped off?
Also, you mentioned players will be forced to retire once a certain age.
Is it possible to add their names plus those delisted be added to the bottom of the list management page when you are trimming the list (just to refresh your memory of what has been trimmed)?
3. with all the mods... it might be worth a building a new team.

I may have deleted a few players who were boosted by a bug here and there.
Also, the retirements happen before your delistings so you know who is retiring.
I've been having some troubles this morning with one of the draft database tables, so if anyone is getting a "Duplicate entry" error then let me know please.

Go to the home page, your team links are there.

m0nty, whenver I try and use potential points on one of my players after pre-season, it loads up a blank page with "WTF, that's not your team" at the top of it.
I just created and drafted that team so I am fairly sure it is mine.
Ok. So I've done preseason training for year 3. Am now ready for round 1. But when I click on a player who potential points and try to apply them I keep getting a page that says "WTF that's not your team".

i'm getting flogged by everyone....weather i play teams my own level with my best 22 or guns and rookies either way i get flogged
I have just completed another preseason. In it one of my guys Matthew Smith lost all his height and weight.

i'm losing fans all the time now
i know you scaled it back m0nty but maybe a tad too much?.....i i'm playing teams at my level and still losing fans...i know losing doesn't help and i am getting the trophies thats the only time i'm get positive fans but when i get a 500+ trophy i end up gaining like 300 fans cause i lost 200

That is how I want it to be in the regular season when you're above 30,000 fans, though. You struggle to keep fans during the season, then you get relief at the end of the season if you make finals.

i'm losing fans all the time now
i know you scaled it back m0nty but maybe a tad too much?.....i i'm playing teams at my level and still losing fans...i know losing doesn't help and i am getting the trophies thats the only time i'm get positive fans but when i get a 500+ trophy i end up gaining like 300 fans cause i lost 200
That is how I want it to be in the regular season when you're above 30,000 fans, though. You struggle to keep fans during the season, then you get relief at the end of the season if you make finals.
ahhh now i getcha.....now if i could only win some games...to make the finals...LOL
Not sure if this is a bug or it's allowed but if I click worst 22 then I can play tons of teams compared to if I select best 22 and I can only play the teams I've already played due to the 2M value difference. So what I did is I selected worst 22 and then on the selection page I changed each player individually and coz it doesn't refresh I can play my best 22 against teams way below the 2M difference...

yeah i tried it and lost 3000 fans and that is ontop of the fact i got 2 +500 fans trophies
thanks boomzie now look like eOS i'm going to be back to 0 assistants :P...lol
btw m0nty not a major thing but i played kew cottages and check this out
Jarryd Roughead waves the trainers away after a slight knock (10%).
Jarryd Roughead was flattened after that contest and looks to be struggling (20%).
Jarryd Roughead took a knock in that contest but is trying to run it out (15%).
Jarryd Roughead was flattened after that contest and looks to be struggling (21%).
Jarryd Roughead was flattened after that contest and looks to be struggling (21%).
Jarryd Roughead was involved in a big collision but got up and trotted away (4%).
Jarryd Roughead is limping after getting a knock in that encounter (16%).
Jarryd Roughead is completely exhausted and should have a rest.
now i should hope roughy is exhausted after taking a beating like that....lol
Roughy struggles a bit with #1 ruck duties!
As for the $2M difference, it is only a guide, and yes you lose heaps of fans if you play below. That's on you.
I plan on adding a bunch more robot sides to fill out all levels of play with suitable opponents.
Finally got a Player worth more than $1 Million.
David Lupson (http://david%20lupson) Season 7, 8 8 8 8 9 9 $1030k All Mid Skills +1
i tried look in the rule document but couldn't see it explained perfectly
it would be good to know when u upgrade an attribute
like AG
what traits does it upgrade?
i get EN is energy and KI upgrades technique and snap
but not sure exactly what
AG,QK,DA
upgrade i try to watch to see what goes up but haven't got it exactly down yet
Agility increases tap
In my Round 2 match, my sub who was not used (no stats), got the MVP medal.
Final score: Kew Cottagers 12.7.79 vs DazBurgs Greatness 18.16.124 (DazBurgs Greatness by 45).
FINALLY!!!!!
i see what you did with the Kew Cottagers :P m0nty

BUG
DRAFT COMPROMISED
I cut my list, then drafted... I could take two picks as no1, but not in my list.
I did try to pick 1 player and got an error, so reloaded list page, clicked to enter draft and picked again. Got the same error, reloaded list and saw no picked players.
Went to draft again and saw I had 2 1st picks (image sent via twitter).
Cant get out of that loop!
Yeah, that's the bug I was just fighting. I've deleted your draft so you can restart (I think).
Just tried and Nope... duplicate entry
Also noted that I have POT points to spend and buttons to click, but clicking then does nil, no change to attributes or skills.
Will leave you to sort out that, and i'll look again later in the day.
Try that draft pick again, I think I caught it this time.
I have re-entered the draft room (after PT points allocated -thanks for fixing that bug) but it says:
QuoteYou are now taking your round 1 pick of 2 in the National draft. There are 16 players taken between your picks.
but also I have already taken #1 pick
QuoteFred H. Nolan KB 8 4 4 4 4 4 194 96 Your pick at #1
who doesn't appear on the team list, and I cant pick again, which I want to.
And if i have picked 1 already and there are 16 other picks to my next one, why does it show no other picks taken?
Noticed this in the Trophy page
QuoteI've been everywhere - Play a match at every ground - Not achieved.
I've won everywhere - Win a match at every ground - Not achieved.
Would be interesting to list out the grounds and the played win record, so we can know where to play to achieve this unusual trophy.
And in future, would be nice to play at Bruswick Street, Western Oval, Linton St, etc...
old skool!!

I have just completed another preseason. In it one of my guys Matthew Smith lost all his height and weight.
Those damn fitness coaches!!
http://www.fanfooty.com.au/mrfootball/playerprofile.php?id=15590
Still not sure how the Star works, I havent had too many of these but a guy who was the sub, with no stats won the star
http://www.fanfooty.com.au/mrfootball/matchbeta.php?home=675&away=698
Just a question, is it a little unfair that players over season 3 (I think) dont get the first time awards?
Most of the secondardy draft players are season 3 or higher, so improving those players is much harder without them getting these early bonuses. Maybe an extension to include seasons 4 and 5?
This is my player that won MVP with registering a stat...
http://fanfooty.com.au/mrfootball/playerprofile.php?id=19693
http://www.fanfooty.com.au/mrfootball/season.php
Took me seven seasons, but finally won a flag, was my worst season record 11/11 but smashed the finals series!
To all the people who waited 7 years to see SydneyRox slash Preseason Wannabee win the premiership... Here it is!!
Also, Monty - not sure if this is a bug or they way you want it set up. I lost 2000-3000 fans during the season I think as no team i played had anything but +0, but winning the three finals got me over 10,000 fans from the team final bonuses
If I make the finals while losing fans all season, but win a couple of finals, will I still have to downgrade assistants?

How are you guys with massive teams going against the robot teams? Some of them seem to be much tougher than others.
Against the bot sides, easy.
GnR: 107-56 and 81-36
The AFLSpace.com No-stars: 65-124 and 68-125
Kardinia Cougars: 102-51 and 93-56
Parkville Royals: 116-103 and 134-29
One's in Bold are my scores, all games were with me going Best 22. Only team i can't beat is your friend m0nty. I don't think i ever have beaten that sdie.
I have spent a little too long playing and so my team is pretty good. Added reasons I think it is fairly good:
* A couple of players got extra attributes when there was a bug adding 2 not 1 per upgrade (I reported it as soon as I was sure it was happening)
* The fact I had a good side and HAD to play my worst side in order to have any teams to play meant I had guys available for Seconds MVP that wouldn't of been able to earn the points playing seniors. Have way too many 1m+ guys!
* Would also say that when the not getting first pick comes in, this will fix things as well. Again, being forced to play drafties meant some ended year with stats that meant they were between 500K & 600K which shouldn't happen with a better mix of good sides.
(Note: This isn't meant as gloating, just reporting in)
m0nty.
I can see all the robot teams... very clever!
Did you miss Nth Melb?
Odd...
I upgraded this guy, and his value became less, by about $200k
http://www.fanfooty.com.au/mrfootball/playerprofile.php?id=14005
I guess because he is old.
Also, 14 seasons and 258 games... 18 games/yr. One of my first seasons players, club stalwart. About to be cut.
Still cant see anyone breaking 300 (at an 18g/yr rate = 17 seasons).

Nope, that's the way it is. If you don't play your draftees early, they lose that bonus.

Yep, that's to be expected. Though I am thinking of lowering the trophy bonus from 500 to 250 for milestones after the first one.

He was the sub for the last 50-odd matches he played, and since m0nty hasn't made it that the sub activates yet, iit wouldn't affect my teams performance.

Won the GF in my 9th season which was my 4th Cup
I start the 10th Season with my gun players around there 11th Season and feeling like I should have another Premiership to the team
At the of the 22 games I went 3 Wins and 19 Losses
So I now know my team is crap so If your team needs a win play the South Aussie Boys!!!!
The 'bot' sides are meant to replicate AFL sides, thus the inclusion of AFL players. For the side Kardinia Cougars you have Geelong players listed, yet the coaches name stands as bscott. I'm no AFL expert, but isn't Geelong's coach Chris Scott?

Is the Fan thing always supposed to be +0, because even when I play my best 22 against better teams I lose fans or win 20 odd fans.
I only have 32k fans so it's not like I have 50-60k+ fans.
So I seem to be stuck in a bit of a loop.
It says my season is in the Elimination Round. And to pick my sqaud and play my final.
Then comes up with this: "This game has already been played.
The result was Moreton Bay Bugs 9.10.64, Parkville Royals 18.11.119."
Don't seem to be able to progress past this point.
Fixed, Toby.
Hi Monty,
I logged out, and logged back in just now. But seem to be having the same problem.
Although, this time the results and team is different.
"This game has already been played.
The result was Moreton Bay Bugs 14.11.95, Kew Cottagers 12.10.82."
If I got to the "selection" section. It says to choose a team before playing the prelim. I can then choose from the template buttons, but no match button.
If I go to the "list" section. I have the select best 22 button and the play button. But get the error mentioned above.
Have the same issue as Tobyj82
Struggling with this now... seems too easy to lose fans and too hard to win them back.
(and losing fans means losing assistants = losing skill upgrade = difficult to upgrade)
Selection of team structure makes it very difficult to rebuild, play your 'best' (being a young team) consistently, and the only oppn choices I have is vs $12mil plus teams, and they get whacked.
And you lose '000s of fans. Play a weak list and gain 100's only.
I think the balance is out.
[insert a 'disgruntled' emoticon here]
And I still cant understand how a 9 kick skill (+$800k +150games) can still kick 1goal 8 in a game... am I the only one? ???
I don't have fan issues, seem to be running along nicely there. 8)

Im having the same difficulty, Playing against teams with -50 fan delta and get beaten by 60+ points regularly
It makes it very hard to gain fans when you are above 30,000 fans.
Have only won 3 matches in a season and a half

ahhh COME ON!!!!....lol
Monty, I seem to be stuck in grand final week. I am in the selection menu, but there is no team to select to play against.

trophies...
EDIT: Same problem as SydneyRox... Says I've already played the final but I haven't and I can't get past :-\
Remain convinced there is something dodgy with the fan allocation.
Just played a season against all +250 fan delta teams, and picked up 100-300 fans per game. Played against a weaker team (-1000 fan delta) and lost 3000+ in one match.
Thats the season wasted from a fan perspective, plus the utter despair of a 2win/20loss season and percentage of under 30%... Belted every week with $12mil (ish) on the park!
Big question now is am I playing this correctly?
If you keep losing every week playing your worst 22, it probably means your players haven't got enough skills in the right areas, thus you're losing to sides that are better specialised. That's why you shouldn't be playing your worst 22 every week. That's the game, people.

So that fan thingo actually means something?? I thought it was just there for looks.
I still can't get past the finals. If I click on "select your team and play your final". It tells me I've already played and won. But no way to progress...
The 2nd draft seems pointless...

Agreed. Players are just too weak, and most miss out on the reserves potential points after two or three seasons
Going into season 11, and starting to cut some player that have been with me from the start........ :'( :'(
Is there a hall of fame?? :)
I am really struggling to understand how the fan system works, for example start to approach 30K fans for the first time, then with the last 2-3 round manage to lose 8K of fans...

Yes, I will be tweaking that.
Some of the player skills don't seem to have an effect on any of the stats like Lace out, Vision and Shepherd. Whats are these skills meant to upgrade? Also When will we be able to upgrade skills like tag and pressure so we can put genuine taggers in our teams?
Lace Out and Vision are skills that modify rolls down the line. A player with Vision +1 who wins a ruck tap or a kicking contest adds +1 to the bonus for the next event for his team mate.
Shepherd, well I haven't done much with it at this stage. I have grand plans for it eventually, but I may end up dropping it for the initial release.
Same thing happening as yesterday :-\ Can't get past the prelim...
what boomz, you started sucking? :P
I'm sure some of this has been said before, but I don't have the fortitude to plow through 33 pages of posts so I apologise if I double up. Also, as this list goes on it gets more and more scope-creepy, and I imagine you've had many of these ideas yourself but not had time to implement them:
Firstly, this is great. I can't recall how hooked I was when I discovered the footy fanatic game 6 years ago, but I'm pretty sure this beta beats that.
The 2nd draft is useless. My only use for that guy is to put him as my unused emgy to bring down my team value, then delist the guy at the end of the year to make room for the next schlepper I'm forced to pick up.
I think training up players' skills should only occur between seasons, though if you introduce a ticket system which limits how many matches you can play I suppose training could be a nice thing to play with while your team is waiting.
It is hard to get a feel for the real challenges that selection will pose when I have to play my worst 22 all the time to not lose my fan base. I understand that won't be in an issue in the real game, but it is hard to test out what I think would be the most enjoyable part of the game.
I've played around with the recruiting coach, and it seems fairly underpowered. The best draftee appeared in a season when I took max penalty on that role. I'm guessing you haven't fat-fingered a negative sign, in which case the incremental benefit seems too small.
I don't like having full clarity on draftee stats. I think showing a range for each skill rather than the exact attributes would be more exciting and realistic. recruiting coach could give more visibility into the right value of player traits.
I love the text description flow of the game. There are obviously a few glitches there, but overall it paints a great picture. If it would be very helpful I can keep track of weird jumps in the narrative and post them here. I have an image in my head of my team's first victory over the Ranga beards as if I were at the game. It was a miserable wet day, and the Musk oxen came back from two goals down kicking into the wind in the final qtr to snatch victory by a point.
It may be that I tend to draft too many players with -2 technique and not fix it til much later, but I've had seasons with about 20% accuracy that seems quite unrealistic. Game after game of 2.12, 3.11, 2.16 etc. Has anyone else noticed that?
My team seems unrealistically healthy. I chose Launceston as my home for that reason, but I've never been missing more than 4 players. I can't remember the last time the Dees ever had such a short injury list. I guess LTIs are coming? Perhaps there should also be training injuries, and you can spend money on another coaching role to reduce those.
Sometimes if I sub a player into my team, other positions shift around unexpectedly. Why is that?
I think the old-age penalties should be more unpredictable. Some players should age more gracefully than others. Possibly related to number of game played?
Anyway, thanks again m0nty and I look forward to seeing this game develop.
Nice post Carrben12. Agree with a lot of your points there.
In talking about the accuracy of your team, this was my last scoreline: "Final score: Richmond Redbeards 6.11.47 vs Moreton Bay Bugs 0.17.17 (Richmond Redbeards by 30)". I have some pretty good goal kickers. So this does seem to be a bit on the unrealistic side.
In regards to trying to keep your fanbase up. If I play my best 22, I have only 7 teams to play, of which 4 are computer generated teams. I'm sure this will change as more people play the game and work their way up. The problem with this is that I can only play 4 teams of +0 fan delta, the rest being negative. With the best 22 I can't even get within a bulls roar of the Jackdaws, Royals, and Cougars. Example:
Final score: Carringbush Jackdaws 41.24.270 vs Moreton Bay Bugs 1.2.8 (Carringbush Jackdaws by 262).
Even playing my worst 22, there are no teams with a postive fan delta. There are teams on the list with only a few seasons under their belt with large fan bases 45K+. So a little unsure of how this works.
Hoping all these comments don't come across too negative, as I am hooked on the game. So I do like a like about it.
With Toby and Carrben... Something amiss with the game and needs correcting. I'm hooked, but not enjoying most recent games.
Hate to sound negative about MrFootball... Generally great, let down by a few small points.
The last two seasons I have finished have now finished a little short.
Same as the issue last time, I clicked to play the grand final and it came up that I had already played, no details.
More annoying is that I lost both times..... and missed the extra trophies that come with playing the final
Oh and I am stuck again Monty, as it hasnt progressed to the post season stuff.
Still stuck at the finals :(

That's because you're at the review stage. Go to the Assistants page.
The Carringbush are very strong. Obviously we should all be tqking a look at their players and basing our list off their thing. I notice Swan has at least one +5 midfielder skills. My players do not because I've as yet been too tight to shell out on the specialist coaches required for that. Swan racked up 221 dt points against my team back in the early days.
m0nty, what level mid-game rehab coaches do the robot teams have? Also, how did you generate them? I'm assuming you didn't rate each skill of each player.

The robot teams have +4 coaches across the board. :)
I haven't finished balancing them, either. The mid-level teams will get stronger.

Thanks Ben. I agree that the draft needs a bit of work. The quality of players in the rookie draft must improve, and it should be optional.

I think people would get antsy if they couldn't upgrade during a season. With good reason too, it's not fun.

The recruitment coach is buggy at the moment.

In terms of realism, I think it's suitable that all attributes and skills are known in advance, as with the draft combine and whatnot, these things are known in real footy before drafts. Yes, I know there are a few glitches in the text commentary. That's a late stage bug fix.

Technique and Snap are very important skills for forwards. Neglecting them will mean inaccurate kicking for goal.

I did include LTIs, though come to think of it I haven't experienced one either. Should go back and look at that. I purposely made injuries less prevalent and shorter-lasting than reality, because having a team smashed by bad luck with injury is not very fun (plus your opponents are always healthy). Training injuries is an interesting idea, though. There is also a concept from Blood Bowl called "niggles", which require a dice roll for aged players to see if they get up for the game each week when they have a chronic injury. I haven't introduced that yet and probably won't for launch, but it may make it into a future update.

There's a whole raft of possibilities there, especially for issues like "going cold" when you haven't played seniors for a while as an experienced veteran, or a player acting up midweek when they have been dropped, that sort of psychological thing. That might be saved for a future update too.

From my experience it will be due to Key Positions vs normal (KF vs F or KB vs B)
For example, I was loading my worst 22 and for some reason it didnt populate a CHF, however when I swapped the RHF (Who was a KF) to a normal forward, the computer naturally populated the KF into the CHF positions for me.
Firstly, hats off, great effort, I think it’s a really solid game. A friend and I started a similar project but got lazy when it came to coding.
Have only ran into a few minor bugs which have been mentioned already.
I’m nearing the end of season 7, so far only managed a pole-axing from Collingwood in the GF. I’ve not really had the fan issue others have had, I’ve pretty much had a steady increase.
Below are some of my musings/observations not in any logical order! Some have probably been covered already (I think it’s good as is btw):
- MVP award being slightly weighted based on stats (eg: say half a point added to the roll per 3 goals or 15 pos etc). The sub on a team that lost by over 10 goals getting the MVP seems slightly off the mark.
- Best and Fairest award at the end of a season, could award brownlow votes for matches and award potential when you get x number of votes, but I think there is enough potential points going around already.
- On the potential point, the seconds assistant maxed out may be OP, my star players get more potential when rested in the seconds than in the firsts. Perhaps a salary limit or seasons played limit on players getting awarded these seconds points. Also found that the couple of players that are never used accumulating a lot of these points so perhaps that balances it out a little.
- At the delisting point, it would be nice to see the old guys stat drops before you decide whether to keep them, I had a player who was quite good but had low EN, I kept him and his EN was reduced to 0 in the preseason, I was then stuck with him. It also seems hard to rebuild, I can’t clean out enough players to bring more kids in, and there is usually only 1 worthwhile draft option in drafting stages anyway.
- The commentary is great but you could have some fun with varied commentary lines/injuries (to save you doing it, perhaps you could run a comp where you award tickets for good commentary submissions or something like that)
For the stat heads (none of this adds much to the actual game, just the overall experience):
- Trophy progression for each player on their page
- Career stats on the player page with season splits and stat averages
- Not sure if you track TOG stats but that would be nice
- Sortable stats on the season page with all players stat totals and averages (could add per min averages with TOG too)
- History tab with past season performances, store Retired players or HOF maybe based on say 150 games played
- Best single game performances for your club â€" most goals in a game, most DT points in a game, most tackles etc etc
- Looking at my team, the players are all looking very similar â€" C and KF with pretty much the same stat line. I’m thinking of restarting and trying to make very role specific players and see how that plays out, at the moment I always gravitate to making balanced players with the same stats, in the end though when the player reaches $700k+ the stats are all pretty much in the 7-10 range.
- The dual position players particularly the c/f/b seem to be too far behind a single position player that I’ve found they are of little use later in the game. They have too many negative skills to get rid of. I had thoughts about making a c with b skills as a tagging type, but just didn’t work. The exception to me is the R/KF, I’ve found they can be specialised ok in my experience.
- On the accuracy topic â€" I tried to make a small forward who has 11 snap and 10 crumb â€" he went 1.8 and for the season is 5.21, it’s possible he’s just taking set shots which he is 7 but I expected a bit more out of him.
- I looked at having a low ST/weight/-tall (speedy outside player), but I don’t see any advantage to having low stats in these areas, perhaps there should be small advantage to QK/DA if the other stats are below a certain point.
- Some other cosmetics, random cartoon face generator would be cool, jumper colours, team mascot pics etc
I think I wrote too much, sorry about the book...keep up the great work!
Cheers

That is intentional. The MVP skill point that you get in Blood Bowl, which this element is based off, is completely random. The MVP in Mr Football is slightly less random, but I wanted to maintain that random factor so that there is some chance involved.

That is something I think would be suitable for private leagues, but for the open division it is too much, agreed.

Also found that the couple of players that are never used accumulating a lot of these points so perhaps that balances it out a little.
I am thinking of dialling back the seconds Potential points, to a max of 2 per week with a +3 assistant. There is already a rule in place that these points only accrue to players with a season total of 4 + your seconds assistant bonus. Salary limit is a good idea too, I suppose, I'll look at that.

At the moment I only force retirements after the 14th season. I think I am going to change that so that whenever one of a player's attributes is about to drop below 2, he retires.

I have that system set up already in my code, it's just that I only have one entry for each event outcome. That is one of the last jobs I will do.

I believe the player profiles already have medal progression and season stats. TOG, geez, that would be complicated! Not sure that's entirely necessary at launch. Maybe later on. A stats page is possible, though I'm not sure you'd learn a whole lot. History is doable. An honour board, also a good idea. Records, another one. These will all get done at some stage, not sure if at launch though.

Fascinated to see discussion of this stuff, it's going be the main topic of discussion in the forum post-launch I reckon. Unless you don't want to give up your tactical advantage! ;D

This made me think of recording more exotic stats. I'll have a think about it. Might be something for a future release when I expand the assistants.

I would love to have a random cartoon face generator, I've thought about it myself a fair bit. That would be awesome. I could think of ways to code it. It would be a bloody big job though.
I'm not so fussed about jumpers and mascots. That stuff seems rather silly to me in other games, including DT/SC.
Thanks for the feedback, Crog!

I was talking about that specifically for qualification for the seconds MVP. Don't worry, there won't be a general salary cap.
Although... I have had some thoughts about running official lightning premierships, which would have extra tickets as prizes. Those would be open to various salary ranges. That's a post-launch thing, though
Quote from: Boomz on January 19, 2012, 02:18:52 PM

Yes, because giving it to someone in the top 5 of fantasy score, or whatever, it going to skew the points to a certain kind of player, most likely a midfielder. This way, even a full back who got three kicks in a winning side has a decent chance for an extra skill point.
Haven't followed all the discussion but has the idea of form ever been discussed? Perhaps its a better idea then Potiental points for playing in the seconds. So if you play a kid that is out of his depth, his form could drop and so performance drop as well. If you have a better player lossing form, put him in the 2nds to increase form and then bring him back to the seniors.
Just a thought
Another thing I've noticed:
in chrome the game auto scrolls to the bottom of the page, so I need to scroll back up with my eyes half-shut to avoid seeing the result if I want to watch the match progression. In ie this does not happen.

I have had a thought that a player could become Hot or Cold, meaning a bonus or penalty to certain skills. I need to workshop that a bit more.

It is supposed to scroll down like that. Although that will all change when I redo that page.

I'm interested to hear whether everyone disagrees with me on this. I find the need to optimize my players' usage of potential after each game detracts from the enjoyment of the game as a whole. If it were restricted to every 5 games or every time I earned a trophy that would seem reasonable. Perhaps I'm the only one who feels this way. Feels like trying to micromanage my workers in Civilization.

There is also a concept from Blood Bowl called "niggles", which require a dice roll for aged players to see if they get up for the game each week when they have a chronic injury. I haven't introduced that yet and probably won't for launch, but it may make it into a future update.
I haven't played Bloodbowl for 15 years, but I certainly remember the niggles. I think the key to a great game is providing the player with difficult decisions in whihc the best path is not entirely clear. I think having Drummond style players in the game with oodles of potential but constantly under injury clouds provides a great list management dilemma. I love the idea of there being some probability that the niggle would clear up each year, only to have your hopes dashed once again when he tweaks the troublesome muscle just before 3 qtr time in round 1 setting the stage for another season battling for match fitness.

Quote from: carrben12 on January 18, 2012, 06:00:54 PMAnyway, thanks again m0nty and I look forward to seeing this game develop.
No problem! I love long analysis posts like this, keep them coming.
I will. I hope I don't sound too critical. I only replied to the comments which I disagreed with.
And while I'm at it:
I can't wait for traits. The idea of having a player on the cusp of my 22 who has some trait which means he outperforms in the rain (his mudder was a mudder) and choosing whether to play him based on a forecast that predicts an x% chance of rain would be a great choice. I realize I just introduced the concept of advance weather forecasting that is not currently in the game, I couldn't resist.
Love the system that restricts first time bonus to players with only 3 seasons. Gotta play the kids early for them to become awesome.
So long I've thought about how to discretize an AFL game for this sort of approach, and I really think you've hit the nail on the head in terms of finding the right balance between realism and simplicity. very little scope for improvement in that area.
I love the idea of match fitness. Use a d10 or some combination of d6s for the recuperation roll and have additional bonuses for consecutive matches. Even a 10 endurance player should have trouble making it through his first match back.
What is the purpose of utility players? Is there something about those players that makes them more suited for UT1 and UT2 duties than a random other player? If so, you needn't specify and I can try and work it out for myself, but at this stage I'm not convince there is.
In the absence of injury concerns I see no upside to draft multi-position players. I can't max out single pos players' stats, so having another row of attributes means 10 potential points wasted just to get them to the level of a single posi player.
In the rules at one point you mention being unable to add a new skill to a player. I took this to mean that if there was only 2 skills listed next to a player's name in the draft, they could never work on other skills. I have since learned that this is not the case (after 8 or so sub-optimal drafts), and if that is intended I think the wording of the rule should be made a little clearer as I was certainly confused.
btw, I'm something like 12 seasons in and haven't made the finals since the first season. I can't beat the teams in my price range, though I haven't peaked yet. I need to work all those misguided draft decisions through the system. I have 7 stars with about 7 seasons under their belt, so my window must be opening soon!

Another thing I've noticed:
in chrome the game auto scrolls to the bottom of the page, so I need to scroll back up with my eyes half-shut to avoid seeing the result if I want to watch the match progression. In ie this does not happen.
It is supposed to scroll down like that. Although that will all change when I redo that page.
Would love that to be an option. I for one prefer starting at the top. I'll wait for the redone page.

Firstly, hats off, great effort, I think it’s a really solid game. A friend and I started a similar project but got lazy when it came to coding.
Have only ran into a few minor bugs which have been mentioned already.
I’m nearing the end of season 7, so far only managed a pole-axing from Collingwood in the GF. I’ve not really had the fan issue others have had, I’ve pretty much had a steady increase.
Below are some of my musings/observations not in any logical order! Some have probably been covered already (I think it’s good as is btw):
- MVP award being slightly weighted based on stats (eg: say half a point added to the roll per 3 goals or 15 pos etc). The sub on a team that lost by over 10 goals getting the MVP seems slightly off the mark.
That is intentional. The MVP skill point that you get in Blood Bowl, which this element is based off, is completely random. The MVP in Mr Football is slightly less random, but I wanted to maintain that random factor so that there is some chance involved.
agree with OP. Random is good, but this is a little too random.

Quote from: crog100 on January 19, 2012, 01:12:27 PM- On the potential point, the seconds assistant maxed out may be OP, my star players get more potential when rested in the seconds than in the firsts. Perhaps a salary limit or seasons played limit on players getting awarded these seconds points. Also found that the couple of players that are never used accumulating a lot of these points so perhaps that balances it out a little.
I am thinking of dialling back the seconds Potential points, to a max of 2 per week with a +3 assistant. There is already a rule in place that these points only accrue to players with a season total of 4 + your seconds assistant bonus. Salary limit is a good idea too, I suppose, I'll look at that.
Yeah, seconds points are overpowered but pls have a heart and don't fix until I knock off the Carringbush at least once.
Quote from: m0nty on January 19, 2012, 02:11:03 PM
I believe the player profiles already have medal progression and season stats.
How do I see this?
Quote from: m0nty on January 19, 2012, 02:11:03 PM
I'm not so fussed about jumpers and mascots. That stuff seems rather silly to me in other games, including DT/SC.
Agreed.
Something I just saw which you might need to remove. I wanted to see what BOOMZ's team looked like for $25m and I noticed a link on the top corner "delete this team and create a new one". Checked out some others, including the bots and it is there too.
Now I didnt click on it to see what the result was, but that should probably be removed from public access.
hey monty,
loving your game mate.
also having the same finals problem as some others. went to play me elimination final, and it said i had already played it and won by 5pts. now i am at the prelim final stage and there is no play final button at the selection tab. there is one on the list tab, but it takes me back to the elim final game, saying i won by 5 pts. i cannot continue to the preseason.
if you could fix this that would be awesome.
can't wait for the real release! :D
Quote from: carrben12 on January 19, 2012, 05:16:01 PM
I'm interested to hear whether everyone disagrees with me on this. I find the need to optimize my players' usage of potential after each game detracts from the enjoyment of the game as a whole. If it were restricted to every 5 games or every time I earned a trophy that would seem reasonable. Perhaps I'm the only one who feels this way. Feels like trying to micromanage my workers in Civilization.
Interesting reference to Civ. Perhaps it would feel like less of a chore if you could update them all on the list page with either dropdowns or pop-ups, instead of having to go through each profile page. That would require a bit of work, but is doable.

Good points all. In practice, though, coaches usually hate niggles. My thinking on that is that I have already built a system for recovery between matches, and if there is going to be a niggle-like mechanic, it would have to be integrated into that. For Blood Bowl you'd roll a d6 and if you got a 1 the player couldn't play that game, with no way to influence the roll. For Mr Football, I'd think that a similar rule would be an older or previously injured player has a base percentage to miss of some small percentage, but this could be modified by having a better doctor.

Yep, Mudlark would definitely be a trait. Weather forecasting... lol!

I haven't quite got it right yet, but I am planning on utility players being handy because they have access to skills that the specialists do not, which help the specialists in their skill checks. Shepherd is the main one. I was also planning early on to impose a penalty for players in contests where they are not suited, e.g. if you aren't a R or KU then you get -4 for a ruck contest, that sort of thing, which utilities would be exempt from. I haven't put that in, so I'm not sure if it will get up.

By the time your initial draft class gets to 7-10 seasons, your premiership window should be open. The difficulty will be recovering from their retirements as they can all go at cone if you're not careful. Then of course, there's the rebuilding phase. 8)
I understand the older players losing value points towards the end of the career, but should they not also be able to use the potential points to pick those back up again? I seem to be dropping my $800k+ player after year 11 or 12 because he is not able to be upgraded anymore, where real players in those years still work to be better even though the body is getting on?

You can improve attributes only up to season 9, but you can keep improving skills indefinitely until a player retires. This tells you that you should concentrate on improving attributes first, and skills later.
It is annoying to have to reset my lineup each game. I understand that if a player goes down with an injury they must be replaced, but it is a real hassle to fiddle around with 2/3 of my team before every match. Is this a bug?

You'll have to explain what you mean by custom team. Isn't that just "last week's team"?
I can report there has been one LTI, to a back called Darcy Mzungu. He has since been delisted. So it is working, though it has only happened once in almost 10,000 recorded matches.

Nice crowds though!! Imagine what old Alex would think if he could get 81000 at Subi and 96000 at a ground in Alice !!
Interesting point for m0nty and players.
If you can spend your POT points at any time thru the season, then you should spend them before the season finishes and you lose assistants (if your crowds are net down), or hold until next season (if your crowds are net up).
Not sure if m0nty wants to keep that loop hole (on the crowds down equation) or not.
Just got whooped...

A note on the above: there is now a Last round button in the templates. Pressing this button does not change your selection template, so that holes from last round's squad (through injury) are filled in using the template.
Also, after you play one more match, your team defaults to last round's team.

Yes, the sub has been added. It's very new code, so please keep an eye on it.
It should be pointed out that at the moment, the sub replaces the player in his position, thus you could run into trouble if the player is not suited to the position. This is particularly the case with the RK1 and RK2 positions, as players tend to get very fatigued playing there if they are not genuine ruckmen. This would suggest a KU is most suited to the sub position, followed by a U.
Actually, since that was tending to produce some dumb results, I have removed the rucks from eligibility for getting subbed without injury.

For the moment the rule for the draft is that if you don't make finals, you still get the number one pick, but for every 4 premiership points above 40 that you get, a pick is made before your first draft pick.

The match page has had a big revamp, it's all behind scrollable tabs now on one screen. This is only a transitional phase though, as I am planning to run the game "live" by having the timer count up and the commentary lines trickle down on screen to simulate a speeded-up match.

I'm stuck at rd 21 coz there are no teams left that I haven't played twice that are close enough in value for me to play :-\
Can't you select your worst 22?
I did and there are still none
It appears to me that you have been playing much weaker teams to get wins and medals, judging from your harmfully low fans level. This is rather weird, apart from anything else. But hey, it's the beta, that's what it's for.
The effect is that your list is very top-heavy, meaning that you have priced yourself out of most beta opponents. This is yet another beta-only problem. But I want to discourage such actions in any case. I'll have a look at it.
In the short term, you'll have to wait for me to boost the robot teams to be closer to your level.

Yeah I don't deny I've been doing some wierd things :-X Was planning to start a new team soon so might do it now rather than later...
Boomz, you've been a great help by doing those weird things. That sort of result is just what a good beta test should throw up.

Superior drafting.
Don't waste potential points where you don't need them. Eventually you will have a team good enough to make finals playing your worst 22 for the whole season. You can play your new recruits in the 2nds most of the time, and change the potential modifier for reserves to +3. The ones who have played less than 7 seasons get points galore. Swap them in for the finals, and when you are beating the cats by 321 points in the grand final, you get 6000 fans or so. About 4000 for each other final too.
Thanks for that MM, another quality beta report.
I think i'll start again. Want a fresh start.
I'm thinking up a new "fan mood" system to combat these loopholes.
There is now a ST column on the selection page. This refers to team strength, which is measured as a percentage between your least expensive 22 players and your most expensive. There will now be fan delta penalties for picking a team that is below a certain strength, to discourage playing your worst 22 every game.
Cop that meow! :P

That's the spirit! ;D
I find myself in a bind... I have (what I think) a mid-strength team with 30625 fans, 11 games into a season.
My choices now are:
Play the BEST 22: -team value $13.83 mil
Fan Deltas are: +0 at best to -5786 at worst
Play the WORST 22: -team value $7.60 mil
Fan Deltas are: -2000 at best to -2829 at worst
Play the GUNS/ROOKIES: -team value $10.78 mil
Fan Deltas are: -352 at best to -2834 at worst
Play the PLAY KIDS: -team value $7.49 mil
Fan Deltas are: -2800 at best to -3618 at worst
It seems I have only a marginal chance to gain fans in any scenario, and yet I read about teams with +100,000 fans.
Noting also in using the BEST 22 strategy (Fan Deltas are: +0 at best to -5786 at worst) has in this season netted me the following season stats
11 games, 0 wins, 11 losses, Percentage 38.5%
[]Yep... 9 games my best 22 went out ($13mill on the park), and 2 games I Played the kids ($7.5 mil) and that's the outcome.[]
I am at a loss.
Apologies if this sounds like a whinge... only trying to give some feedback.
[corrected]
First off, I have only just actually implemented the new fan delta rules.
Second, I specifically do not want teams with 100,000 fans. The fans number is supposed to be reasonably similar to AFL club membership levels, such that 30,000 is average and 60,000 is about as much as you could realistically hope for. If you get above 60,000, expect the rules to drag you down to 60k as much as possible. You'd pretty much have to win the flag every year to stay above 60k, or at least that's my hope.
In short: the smart move is to find all the +0 sides and play them, and make up fans in +500 chunks through trophies for statistical milestones.
Interesting stats...
Oppositions best
Dane Swan 39kicks 4h-balls 29cont.posns 4marks 6tackles 0hitouts 5goals.1 193 DTpts
My Best (ruck)
Jason Alder 8kicks 7h-balls 2cont.posns 5marks 2tackles 16hitouts 1goal.0 83 DTpts
Another interesting idea (and maybe difficult to implement)...
While the game progesses and you have an injury (red cross mark type) that means bringing on the sub, is there any way you could program a stoppage to the game run so that the manager (i.e. ME) can then bring on the sub into a suitabel position, and move another player from one spot to fill the injured player?
I ask as I have seen backs playing at ruck slots or FF.
Given a choice, i am sure managers could find a better balance.

Fair enough... will battle on.
Remaining problem is to play the +0 fan delta sides and

Two things there:
1. I am planning on creating some more code to rejig the positions when the sub comes on, rather than a single straight swap, to make it more realistic.
2. Stopping the game for decision making is not an option at the moment. That implies a whole other set of rules which I am not going to spend time implementing for launch. That will happen eventually, but you'll have to wait for "synchronous" matches. There was another thread (http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,25444.0.html) on that issue itself.

Geez... what happened here???
QuoteBurnley Tunnellers stuff around with it in midfield for a while with Astbury, Tuck, Vickery and Riewoldt.
Foley streaks away from Kennedy and looks for a target inside forward 50. +2 24.12
Riewoldt marks unopposed, draws Outen with a handball and sets up a teammate. +3 24.26
Norm Outen has broken a bone and is out for six matches while he recovers.
Goal scored by Mitch Morton. ... Burnley Tunnellers 13.7.85 vs Poor Old Mr. Ballsack 12.10.82 (Burnley Tunnellers by 3).
Somehow seriously injured (for 6 wks) after being drawn into a baulk!
Stop whining Craig, and take it like a man. ;)
Just a small non technical issue I have noticed. I had pick 1 in the draft, then the bot sequence also started at pick 1.
From that point I couldnt see a duplication
Also, I recall seeing somewhere that you could upgrade a stat to 11, does that work yet?
Hey Monty,
Having this occur quite a bit lately:
Sheehy sprints away from Porter and launches a bomb from nine-pointer range. +4 30.47
Snap missed everything by Mitch Sheehy.Goal scored by Kevin Ablett. ... Pickle 9.12.66 vs Angry Beavers 11.10.76 (Angry Beavers by 10).
... Pickle 9.12.66 vs Angry Beavers 11.10.76 (Angry Beavers by 10).
It says a goal has been scored, but doesnt have any change on the scoreboard....
Have the same thing happening as doogie.

That pick thing is a known bug, yep.
You won't be able to upgrade a stat to 11 via normal means. I'm planning on random events to allow it at some stage, but it hasn't been implemented yet.
I'm guessing you know this already, but the Kew Cottagers rucks are shocking!
Never seen more than 10 hitouts collectively.
I have just been tweaking the robot sides up, actually. You should see a better contest out of them if your selected side is $20M or more.
- selection not reverting to last teamsheet bug
- Tall bug whereby the bonus doesn't increase when height increases in preseason
- sub gets subbed in, either to replace first injured player, or at 15 minute mark of Q3 if no one is injured (red bib goes to the most fatigued in the cheapest 11).
- sortable list page
- integrate the finals teams into regular ladder play by making them playable in H&A as robot opponents
- balance finals teams to reflect relative team values
- random events... probably not for games just yet, but at least implement some of them for training
- make sure every assistant coach is operational
- change drafts after first season so that your first pick is dependent on your previous season's performance... you only get pick #1 if you get four wins or less, for example... if you make finals you get a much lower first pick
- revamp for match page, make it more easily viewable on one screen without as much scrolling
- have the match commentary progress through the quarters in updates rather than just all the text appear at once
- update Rules document to reflect recent changes
The robot teams corresponding to finalists have all been tweaked upwards.
I think a nice tweak would be for when you are cutting the list, could you put the recently cut players name and detail line at the foot of the squad list (say, in maroon text) as a reminder of what has been cut...?
To help people (like me, the hard of thinking) to not cut too many in the one area etc.
Another suggestion...
When upgrading players skills, would it be possible to have a click box that sends you to the next player?
This would remove the need to click your team name then find the next player, click his name and go again.
I guess you could do this by scrolling via positions (start at backs, then mids etc) or by player alphabetically, or by number... whatever you think is best.

Instead of that, I'm planning on allowing you to upgrade multiple players from the list page with drop-down boxes.
Just a whine on injuries!! Finally got a player to 10's across the board (except st) and he has been injured 4 separate times (about 7 games) in a season including missing the first final!!
Call me an old fogie if you like, but what about players getting jumper numbers? You could them pass down great numbers to new draft kiddies or even retire them for a few years.

I have messed about a bit with the assistants.
The seconds coach has been nerfed, you only get two Potential points at the +3 level now. You also get Potential taken off at -1 or below.
The position coaches (back, forward, midfield, ruck) now put an upper limit on your players' skills equal to your coach level plus 4, which is enforced in preseason. Thus if you have a player with a midfield skill at +5 but you have a midfield coach at -1, your player's skill gets cut down to +3. This is to discourage coaches building up gun teams then losing all their fans chasing cheap opponents for wins - their good players would get their skill base smashed in the next preseason. I will consider putting the same mechanic in for the conditioning coach and attributes.
The physio works now, which you should notice especially when you play the robot teams as they all have a +4 physio, so they have a much better chance of recovering fatigue during matches.
Wait, i just logged on and my fans are at 65k flat. I was pretty sure that they were higher than that. ???

You are now taking your round 3 pick of 6 in the Preliminary draft. There are 16 players taken between your picks.

Try it again.
A little bug from the robot teams was that the Tall trait hadn't been included for them. This had meant, among other things, that the robot ruckmen were getting smashed every game. This should make them even tougher now.
Just to underline the point about the finalists being harder, I went 18-4 with a $22M team and copped Sin City in the first final, I had three goals to 3QT to be down by four, managed to LLLIIIIIFFFTTT to be seven points up ticking into time on, but goals to ROK and McGlynn ended my season. :(

The match page now has a live ticking score feed. Obviously it is nowhere near finished yet, so please hold off the flood of suggestions and bugfixes I am sure you will have for this or that little thing. Hopefully you get a bit of an idea about where I am going with it, though.
In particular, I am not sure if it is wise to have a live updating stats table a la the match scores on FanFooty itself, as that would make the page rather unwieldy in terms of weight - it's a heck of a lot of data. It would be great to have though, I know! That might be something that is reserved for the synchronous version of the game.

Another big addition I am pondering is the concept of levels. This would mimic the AFL accreditation that real coaches earn, so there is precedence. It would have to be added pre-launch, as there would be no fair way of imposing it afterwards.
The idea is that you would only be allowed to do certain things once you achieved a certain level, like upgrading attributes/stats/assistants to a certain bonus, or changing a player's position. I could even restrict the ability to pick the team until early levels have been reached. This would obviously lead to the possibility of people getting annoyed with the restrictions, but it would lengthen the game, and give another set of achievements to strive for - especially since it would enable coaches to take their players' attributes to 11 at the highest level! Plus it would assist in building a tutorial for new players, as I could only show the tutorial to players with lower levels.
I have just noticed I drafted a player who is a centre but has negative back attributes I cant adjust.
http://www.fanfooty.com.au/mrfootball/playerprofile.php?id=28463
Edit - Just gone through another draft and seen a lot of this on the draft players, forwards with centre attributes, rucks with utility etc. Is this on purpose or a bug?
Also, love the new list page with the adjustment buttons right there, along with the expand all button, can we get a contract all?
Makes it easier for team selections
Hi m0nty
Can see what you're trying to do with the list page by including all the abilities etc that you can change on the one page.
For my 2c... I think that page is now too big and cluttered.
I would use that page to review the team, see who needs games, injured, or has POT pts... usually in sections (i.e. backs, mids etc).
Now that list spreads out a bit too much and is interrupted / broken by the POT pts spend lines.
Appreciate that I can also see where I can spend the POT pts instantly, which is good.
Still not possible to click a players name, use the POT pts and then click a 'NEXT' button to instantly move to the next player, or 'PREV' to go to previous player?
Monty, can you please explain the fans roll for me? If my team has a +0, what do I need to roll to increase fans or is this dependant on something else?

You'll see a Ticket column in the table at the top of the page. The idea is that when the game is operational, you get 4 tickets to start with, you use one ticket every time you play a game, and tickets regenerate every two hours. They can be bought as well, of course, to speed up your gameplay. It is not restricting matches played during the beta, obviously, but the system is in place now.

There is a randomised roll after every match, which gets modifiers based on the size of the crowd and the result of the match. Bigger crowds and bigger wins mean more fans!
There will be some social ways to get fans outside of matches which will become important, as it is in many Facebook games. More on that later.

- Add Pressure trait based on games played
- Add ticket system
I haven't got that Collapse All button working yet, but it will happen.
- Fix numbering bug for draft picks
- Amend draft so that you have a choice to make your last draft pick from the National or PSD
- New system for rejigging positions after the introduction of the sub
- Go through the commentary to look for bugs in the event flow
- Salary cap on eligibility for the seconds Potential point ($500k?)
- Add elements to front page: ladder, recent games, team stats, upcoming medal and trophy milestones... possibly merge with season page?
- Add ability to change position by spending Potential
- Add drop-down boxes to upgrade attributes and skills on List page
- Add Pressure trait based on games played
- Add ticket system
I am going to hold those two back for post-launch.
I suppose I should test this out again >:D
Loving playing the game! Great to waste many hours at work!!!
Few Things:
Tickets - Dont understand what they are or what they do! Read the manual and it doesnt really explain it for me! Either im stupid or perhaps it could be rewritten in a simple, dummies format!
Supporters - So stared out getting heaps of them, OTB style! Couldnt stop getting them! but now all I do is lose supporters! No matter what I do, i cant do anything but lose them in any match I play(well almost)! I win I lose them! I lose I gain them(sometime)! I play bigger and harder teams than me and lose, I lose them! I play smaller and easier teams than me and win and lose them! I have tried reducing the quality of my team to compete again smaller teams (but staying above 75%) and I really seam to lose them then! - Basically what im getting at is I have tried everything to keep supporters but just cant seem to! It is very frustrating! Once again not sure if its me or if there is a trick to it!
Incorrect Size - Still have a couple of players with negative weight/height! Think this has been fixed, as I have not drafted any since around season 2-4
Age/Value - Found that when a player gets nurfed due to age, his value does not always drop as well! So he will remain with a high value until you upgrade one of his stats and then his value drops to where it should be! ie. 11 year player worth 800k, next season loses say engine, but value remains at 800k, you then upgrade say his positioning and his value decreases to 400k!
Older Players - Found old players have little use in the game! Good and bad thing! Sort of once the hits season 9-11 they become useless and are overtaking but younger players coming through! This is the idea but what has become is players having 50-100 game careers as they become useful at season 4-6 and then become redundant in less than 3-6 seasons! Perhaps a boost to star younger players so they can be included at a younger age (the talent pool of draftees has dramaticly reduced since around season 6, used to get players worth 300k-340k as top level draftees but now struggle to get anything above 300k) or let games played be an experience factor! ie. add experience into the game so older players may slow down but gain with matches played! Perhaps look at positioning increasing with games played as players learn how to play at an older age! Would sort of help stop the 'production line' of players that seems to be happening! Just a thought!
Lack of opponents at higher levels - Not your fault, but when you start you get lots of team to play and compete against! Then as you get into the high levels, say $18mil+, there are not enough teams to play and you get stuck playing the impossible AFL teams and teams value $2mil+ more or less than you! Although not your fault, will come with age!
AFL Teams - Follows on from above: AFL teams are sooooo hard to beat, like dont bother playing them unless you are at least 1-2mil more than them!
Finals - Again sort of follows on from above: Finals are hard which is good! But they seem to be inconsistent! Made the finals in around season 6 and made the grand final! Fair effort! Then since then i have been unable to even win the elimination finals! My team is dramaticly better than the one I played with in season 6 (by around 4-6mil) but the finals seem to be soooo much harder
Collapse All Button - Doesnt work! Would love it too cos I hate having such massive squad selection list!
Home Ground - Would it be possible to be able to change your home ground? Say at the end of every 5 seasons you can change it?
(BTW im Leeds United in the game!)
Just my thoughts after 12 season! Have really, really enjoyed playing it and look forward to seeing what developments you make in the future!!!!!
Great stuff monty!

Great stuff monty!
Well done charedblack... agree! The game is super addictive.
Supporters... seems easier to lose than hold.
Older Players... finding the same. Cant seem to get a player to the 250 game mark without them losing skills.
AFL Teams... dont even try them anymore. Too many 1.6.12 to 41.31.277 scorelines and -1'000s in fans.
Finals... if lucky enough to play them I get thrashed, but do get fan bonuses.
Collapse All Button... vitally needed!!
Home Grounds... like the relocation idea. Also I would love to play at Western Oval, Lakeside Oval and all the old grounds. Then again, I'm old enough to remember them. Would also be interesting to 'manage' the grounds too... field condition, stands/capacity, corporate facilities etc (very financial, I know).
Tickets - The way it's going to work is that you get 4 tickets to start with, and every time you play a game you use a ticket, and they take 2 hours to replenish. I haven't quite got it working yet so it isn't currently stopping your ability to play games.
Supporters - There is a trick to it. Play the +0 teams, keep winning more than you lose and play other popular teams so the crowds are big to maximise the bonus on your post-game fan roll, and keep earning milestone trophies. Also, in the full game there will be opportunities to add to your fans in other ways, such as "gifting" to your Facebook friends, though this won't be a huge amount (max of 5 per gift I think) and will be capped between games (max of 50 I think).
Incorrect Size - I have just fixed that.
Age/Value - I'll have a look at that bug.
Older Players - There will be extra traits given to experienced players which will help ameliorate these issues. Then again, it is pretty realistic, because 200-game players are pretty rare in today's AFL when you look at it. It is a meat market.
Lack of opponents at higher levels - I need at some point to boost the non-finals robot teams, plus add some more to give you more competition at higher levels.
AFL Teams - I don't find the robot teams that hard myself, with a team pretty much level with them.
Finals - I don't have a problems with finals being hard! :P
Collapse All Button - Yes, I am having a few issues getting that to work, but it's on the list.
Home Ground - Not a bad suggestion, though I think losing fans would be a big consequence.
is there a reason i can see the final score before the game has ended?

It's because the result has all been worked out before you load the page, you're just seeing the replay.

Thanks for the reply monty!
Still cant seem to get the hang of supporters though!
This games seems to sum it up for me! - Play a better team, with more supporters, away from home and win, yet I lose supporters!

Dude, you've got 54,000 fans already, that's almost maxed out your assistants. The game is built so that getting to 60,000 is supposed to be bloody hard. It is working as designed.

Ahhhhh I see now!
Yeah I had well over 60k fans at one stage! So can see why im having them cut back!
Monty, you may have mentioned this previous but can you save your team?
I have played several games, left the computer, logged back on and had to start my selections again. This has occurred twice now.
Why cant I revisit my original squad?

If you login and go back to the front page (http://www.fanfooty.com.au/mrfootball), your team should be listed there with a link to the relevant page.
Went back Monty and it stated the following
COMPETITION: COACH:
This is not your team. You cannot view its players.

That is a different page, you must be looking at the Fanplanner or Exteam page.
Monty, do you have a guide or "How to Play" page that I can check out?
Found it!!

Can you, or someone else, point me in the direction of this guide.
Not just the rules as they are confusing to a beginner.
ok selection question-
Is it better to go for a guy with less *insert example
F- with -1snap-2hands-1chase
or
f-with -1snap-1hands-1chase-1position-1spring-1technique
hope this explains what im trying to get at.
is it better to go for a guy with less negatives or it doesnt matter
Hey Monty
Suggestion for bulking the number of top end teams - phantoms of deleted teams.
I have got up to the top 3 times now, and then it gets boring, because I only have the same teams to play, so I reset and start again.
Don't know if this is possible, but when a team resets, you could save a phantom of that team as an extra team to play?
Also: have had the bug which allocates unaligned skills to other positions i.e vision tap spoil to a midfielder. Only seems to happen during initial drafts.
Also: have had the bug which has a player 10+ seasons not lose value, then suddenly drop half way through a season after applying POT points. Elite mid dropped from $1m to $700k. Was devo'd.
By the way, love the game. Will be buying when needed. Totally addictive, I'm going to lose my job if I'm not careful.
Cheers.
A few other points:
I would love to be able to see individual players stats. I know you must have them somewhere, as my best mid just hit 200/200 DT tons. Out of 255 games, thats pretty good.
Notes sections on individual players. i often get to the end of a season and forget who I wanted to delist. If I could make a note, I wouldn't forget!
Ability to look at prior years results, and overall teams results. Knowing how many finals I've played would be nice.
I think thats it for now!
cheers.
everytime i make a team to play, once i quit i cant go back and continue where i left off???
Whats the point of playing a final and getting smashed everytime, i lost 4 games for the year but get smashed by 190 points in the elem final... hmmm

Yep. I've played 21 seasons, missed the finals three times, and only won one final. Key I think is to get your team to about $20-21m to be able to beat the teams you play.
i just got slaughtered in my first ever final

Look at the team value of the opponents you're playing against. Your final opponents are all about 22mil+.
I won my first final, and got to a Grand Final, in S13 with a team value of 19mil.
Next season have just won the Grand Final (by 35 points!) with a team value of 19.8mil.
You'll need a few seasons and the key is to train your players right (check my team: Obnoxious Gits, I'm interested to know how others go playing me!), I've been beating teams ranked well above me for a few seasons.
And I think I'm content to leave it here now though, not much else to do after you win the Grand Final but quit while you're ahead!
Incredibly addictive though. I have a number of thoughts that I'll share later.
yeah i've made the finals a few times but gotten battered in the first week. the gap is narrowing though, first time i made the finals i think i must have lost by about 200+ points, but it's down to 40-50 and my team value is only around 17.5m or so.
one thing that bugs me though is the 'fan' setup. i think there should be some sort of structure behind it, but it's far too random. even when i've won games against teams of similar value or greater i sometimes lose 200 fans or so. and it's difficult getting games into kids. any more than 2, maybe 3 and you're behind the 8 ball as far as losing fans goes. not sure what the deal is behind it.
got any tips alka, on how to improve the overall strength of the team? have played against you a couple of times, but been well beaten. (i'm larkhall lumberjacks) i think where i am going wrong is that i'm trying to create complete players. where i should probably be focusing skilling up my players in key areas.
Definitely. I had a read through Monty's rule document (top of the board) to get an idea of how things worked. Certain skills are certainly more important for particular positions, and some can be neglected.
Just quickly: Forwards don't need DA. Pump up AG, QK and KI. I usually go in that order too, with the logic being if they can't first get the ball there's no point them being able to kick straight. Crumb is very important for forwards.
Centres/Rovers don't need AG. Rovers need more ST and QK than Centres or Wingers who should first focus on DA (although all are important). Extract and baulk are important here. I've had great success getting a C with high weight as a draft pick, who eventually got 8 ST, and is the best player on my team. Every game 15+ contested possessions.
Backs seem to need a bit of everything, even KI. I find chase to be the most important skill here.
There's a few more things, like skills for forward pocket are slightly different to those for full forward, but this'll do for now. Also I have no idea about the effect of EN. Most of my players are around 7-8, but I'm thinking it might be less important than that. I can see your team actually looks like my above suggestions already, so I'm guessing you've already made a few changes? Notice much difference?
Heya. Firstly, great game. It's, in a lot of ways, better than other AFL Online games and I am really enjoying it so great job.
I need some help though. I'm the team Forest Hill FC and I just finished a Season. I had to retire a fair few players and then had to draft a few. I was drafting the players (had to draft 9 players) but when I need to draft the last one, I can't, because all players have been drafted. I can't progress and I don't know what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Fixed, thanks for the bug report.
Thanks mate. Now hit another problem. I try selecting my team like usual and I can't proceed any further. There's just no option to select it like there usually is. I do the PreSeason thing and then move onto selecting the team list and bam, not there. I go to Team Selection and it says that my team isn't ready to be selected yet.
must admit this game still giving me a hard time teams i can play are like 2 million better then me so i'm lsing by 200+ points
so sick of losing :'(
There may be an option on the list page up the top to run recovery session? Thats the only thing that comes immediately to mind.
Usually there is but there's just nothing. It has all my players in a list but just nothing to go forward with. I can't actually select my team and that means I'm just stuck in the Pre Season.
Okay, so I finished the Home & Away season 22 wins, 0 draws, 0 losses, but I play in an elimination final first up, shouldn't I be the minor premior with a double shot or something haha? :P 8) ::) ;D ;)
I think you play the easiest side possible. If you were to be 13-9 or something like that you'd have a harder Elimination final

Correct. And you want to play more finals anyway, because you get more fans that way.
I said I'd post some more feedback later, so here goes. I think you've done a great job Monty, just been writing some notes down as I play that might be useful for you.
BUGS:
• Height not implemented yet? The tall attribute is not affected by any changes in height. E.g. I have a 205cm ruckman who only has a tall+2, where in the rules 205cm should be +4.
• Certain situations make no sense with player selections:
o Crewes jets away from Manassa, bounces twice and finds the open man in the forward line. -1 23.02
o Manassa gets the fist in to prevent the Petterson mark and a pack forms... ball up.
It makes no sense for Manassa to be there to spoil after Crewes jetted away from him.
• When a shot goes out on the full, or misses completely, the last goal scoring attempt is also added onto the end of the text. Example:
o Teague shrugs his way clear of Cunningham and snaps. +1 7.46
o Snap missed everything by Peter J. Teague.Point rushed from the snap by Rohan Coney. ... Obnoxious gits 6.6.42 vs L33T H4X0R5 9.10.64 (L33T H4X0R5 by 22).
This doesn't add to the score, it's just unnecessary text.
• Good play in the seconds seems to ONLY give potential rises to my first year players. Rather than a range of players.
• 24+ points on the development role does not give 6 potential as indicated
• Maybe a limit to injuries to certain types of players? Or let other players play in other positions. I had the odd situation of 3 of my 4 rucks being injured, and it resulted in having a blank spot in one of my positions. (http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/1093/mrfootball3rucksinjured.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/171/mrfootball3rucksinjured.jpg/)
• Another injury problem: I had 3 rucks. One got injured. The one who was auto-placed in RK1 I wanted to swap with the one in RK2, however this is impossible with the current selection system.
• Lost a lot of fans playing against team L33T H4X0R5. My value at the time: 15.4mil, his: 17.4mil. In game I lost 382 fans first game, 399 the next one. Both games I lost by around 30 points. I actually found this was a team I quite often lost fans to, where as teams above or below him in value I did not, regardless of score. Found this a little odd, are there more factors than the result and team value?
TWEAKS:
• Follow on from injuries above, swapping players around is not very efficient, as you must remove them from a position then place them in another. I suggest you can place players where you please, then when you go to selection a check is run that tells you if there are any errors in the line-up and you cannot continue until these are resolved.
• Some trophies/medals are a bit hard to achieve:
o Bag of 5 requires 50. I find this quite a rare feat and a player would be lucky to achieve it in a career. Suggest it is lowered to 25, or even less. FF's become very hard to train as a result. Hit-outs are another one.
• Is the medal for the match randomly given out? I assume this is on the to do list. My best players certainly weren't the ones winning it.
• Subs also seem a little random, sometimes a well performing midfielder taken off.
SUGGESTIONS:
• More match controls â€" i.e. slow down/speed up match and pause.
• “Best of†â€" on each players page have some stats, like “most goals in a gameâ€, “most disposalsâ€. A bit of fun, and maybe a reward each time a new PB is reached? I'd also like more stats on a players page in general - average DT scores per season and so on, they make the game much more engaging.
Hope you find that helpful!

Just wanted to add a few things to this post.
1. I find that I can control which players get potential points in the seconds by playing others eligible for the points, and leaving two I want to get points.
2. I noticed a trophy for playing at different locations, but was not rewarded when I attempted it.
3. I would also love players individual stats. They all get individual points for reaching milestones, so the data is stored somewhere, and seeing it would be great.
Thanks
Just got to the end of season 15.
Only I ran into a bug.
I can't progress any further.
It's telling me I'm in an elimination final. And gives me the option "Play your final" on the list page.
However, when i click it, I get "Error loading finals opponent".
I think the bug is that I'm in a final in the first place - I'm on 8 wins and 14 losses for the season.
I've tried logging out, and back in, refreshing, nothing seems to work.
It's a fantastic game though m0nty! great work!
Hey monty,
Im finding it extremely hard to win while trying not to lose fans its a great game but as soon as my team is worth over 12k it is impossible to make the finals without losing thousands of fans.
It would make the game alot better if you could reduce this difficulty.
Thanks,
maanco
I will get back to it in September.
cool thanks monty.
Im also winning all the stats yet i still lose by 8+ scoring shots
Sorry, probably a dumb question, but does the size of the crowd (I.e the size of the opposition fan base) effect the gain/decrease of my fan numbers after each game? Having trouble getting fans, that's all.
Great stuff m0nty!!! Quick q: When you're looking for opponents, what does ST mean?

Definitely. I had a read through Monty's rule document (top of the board) to get an idea of how things worked. Certain skills are certainly more important for particular positions, and some can be neglected.
Just quickly: Forwards don't need DA. Pump up AG, QK and KI. I usually go in that order too, with the logic being if they can't first get the ball there's no point them being able to kick straight. Crumb is very important for forwards.
Centres/Rovers don't need AG. Rovers need more ST and QK than Centres or Wingers who should first focus on DA (although all are important). Extract and baulk are important here. I've had great success getting a C with high weight as a draft pick, who eventually got 8 ST, and is the best player on my team. Every game 15+ contested possessions.
Backs seem to need a bit of everything, even KI. I find chase to be the most important skill here.
There's a few more things, like skills for forward pocket are slightly different to those for full forward, but this'll do for now. Also I have no idea about the effect of EN. Most of my players are around 7-8, but I'm thinking it might be less important than that. I can see your team actually looks like my above suggestions already, so I'm guessing you've already made a few changes? Notice much difference?
I find the Rucks need the most EN, otherwise they stay on the bench for most of the match, doing nothing. Losing your ruck reeeeeeally hurts...
Hi m0nty,
I have found a pretty big bug.
I decided to tank the whole season (from 44k fans down to 10K) and had to make all my assistant coaches down to -2 to continue. I then cut all my expensive players from my list but it kept allowing me to cut players. I cut 15 of them.
I went to the draft and could only select 10 players before running out of players to be picked and now I cannot continue at all. My team is stuck and I cannot start a season due to the draft being incomplete (yet no more players to be picked up)
What should I do? (Don't really want to start again, have invested time to play through more than 10 seasons)
Thanks
Spite you are going to have to start again i did the same thing :'(
Hey monty (or anyone else that knows) can you send us the link so i can access what things (eg. QK, DA) are best for for ruckman ect. I cant find it anymore

Hey m0nty Spite's team name is Spite Might II but he's only up to season 2 so I think he restarted his career. Hope that's what you needed

unlucky I suppose m0nty is working on making the draft longer or making a limit of players that were able to delist. Hope all the best with the new team
I was just wondering why I stopped playing this, so I went back to check...
for some reason I can't play :S I dunno what's wrong, I have a full team, it says my stage is 'selection for season 1, R1, I've got a 22 lined up, but when I click to go find a team to play, it just takes me back to my team selection page :S then, if I go to season, it says I've played 22 games, for 10 wins, 12 losses...
if I click on assistants, I cant do anything, and it says I dont have any, if I click on preseason all I can do is go to my team list (and it says all my players have a value of 0$),
if I click draft it says 'the draft for this team is not running'
if I click trophies it basically says I havent won any
if I click rule it says this topic doesnt exist on this bard
basically, I cant do anything... I'm not even sure what I'm supposed to be doing atm :S
Monty, are the rules still available? I have been looking for them, but can't locate?

Monty, were you able to put the rules back up in the forum?
M0nty what is happening with this atm. I discovered this mid last year and have had so much fun even though i have never got past a sf it is still amazing
I made a team last week and i want to continue on but when i click on the Mr Football Australian Football managment simulation game link it just prompts me to make another team ? can anyone help ?
Thanks the information has been really helpfull :-*

Are you being sarcastic? :o
Anyway, try just typing in
http://fanfooty.com.au/mrfootball/
that should get you there.
Yes i was being sarcastic .. gave up weeks ago cant be bothered with it now.. thanks anyway :)
When will Mr Football be out of beta mode?
Monty, seems to be a bit of a bug at the moment. Having problems with the draft/delisting stage and also with list management, player selection is almost impossible to manage.
Delisting - sorting by value takes me to list management during the regular season
List management - won't allow me to change certain positions, and holds a memory of what it was before, but not what I want to change it to. Hard to explain.
Games not working ATM.
I will get to this after a bunch of other stuff.
Is this being worked on?
My plan of attack goes like this:
1. CricketFan live scoring... nearing completion, just some iteration (a.k.a. turd polishing) being done now
2. Media Street (news aggregation) - must be done ASAP, likely well before then since most of the code is already there, just needs to be updated... likely alpha by early Jan and gold by mid Jan
3. FanLeague - Must be done before preseason starts on Jan 31 and would be nice to have it up for official launch of NRL fantasy comps... alpha already done, gold some time in Jan
4. Training bloggers for FanLeague - shouldn't take too long, just write some documents... late Jan
5. Mr Football... not before February, and will probably want to plan a few weeks "off" to fight bugs and maybe rest a few days after a hectic offseason
So as you can see it's a long list, and Mr Football is at the bottom of it. Not by choice, but that's the way it has to be.

Thanks for the update, just that I was after
Update:
#1 and #2 are done, which is a good pace to be setting. Very pleased with myself on that score. Tomorrow I start work on #3.

Just want you to know how much I love the work you do M0nty. You're a superstar, regardless of you being a Hawks supporter. As I've said previously, I'll be one of the first to buy the app if you ever take it that far. Aside from that, I can't wait for MrFootball to come back. One of my favourite pastimes.
Update: #3 is mostly done, had a test run during the Auckland 9s a couple of weeks ago which went well, and I'm in the process of vetting a bunch of livebloggers which involved some of them doing a test run of their own, so #4 is well underway. At the moment I'm doing a few improvements across the network, like player profiles and some ad-related work to change the structure of some of the pages.
I will try to find some time this week to at least check all the functions and whatnot so that the beta version is up and running.
I have got the match code working again.
Thanks m0nty you're amazing :)
Ok, so I have this player http://www.fanfooty.com.au/mrfootball/playerprofile.php?id=117741 who has a whole lot of potential points, but when I try to spend them, I'm not able to use them. If I press a button, the page reloads without having used the required potential points, and so he's effectively stuck at the level he's at.
hey monty, you still working on this?
