Auction expiring in Slovenia, a player I've been keeping an eye on for days, a 19 years formidable in playmaking with a solid stamina, technical at 600K... just what I'm looking for. There's just me and another guy, I make my bid, he thinks on it then makes his one, I wait for last seconds, ready to bid again and... the left mouse button is broken!!!

I've lost 6 to 2 for a clamorous error.
IT'S MY FAULT, I don't want to accuse anybody... but I want to unburden myself:
Well, I was thinking of a 5-3-2, so I put a midfielder as "extra defender"... everything's right till now.
Then I had the brilliant idea of inverting the "extra defender" with the "real midfielder", my error was that the "real midfielder" has become another "extra defender" cause the drop down didn't reset to "normal" when I took away the player. And what happened? The line up was with 6 defenders, 2 wingers and 2 forwards, with no midfielders..."

In this way when will I have a good team? Seeing that my players are getting old before one's very eyes, they will never become formidable"

"On saturday August 7th, according to HT's weather forecast, it was raining in Milan.
Unfortunately in the real world it didn't rain.
Result: less than 40% of audience despite supporters high on life (to remember that I was playing against a low placed team).
Today in Milan, there's a fierce sun: it's a pity that HT's weather forecast says rain for Milan today and tomorrow.
I can see it's not simple to guess weather previsions, but in this way they "killed" financially teams in low series that have not a lots of incomes. There's already the new fanclub formula which leads to bigger troubles in filling the Arena (a friend of mine in V series with 30000 supporters high on life had an audience of 9000 people on 15000 seats against a team which was in the first four places, coming from a home win - optimal weather situation), then if we also add this poor adherence to real world, what is it all coming to?
I must confess to be really worried about this game's destiny."

"yes but they are strange decimals, considering that I am excellent and I move players up from youth squad worse than when I was passable... It makes no sense. I see it's not possible to move always decent players up, but at least once in the season since you're excellent I think would be right... Clearly something in the formulas doesn't work... my nephew, for example, moved a lot of formidable players up and once even a divine, first season he reached excellent... so there is a random imbalance a little unjust."

It would be great that from youth squad it was possible to move up not only humans but also elfs, ogres and dwarfs...
Theese different races could have different disposition to improvement.
For example: Elfs could have regarding to humans a playmaking bonus, or improve faster in that skill and have a malus in the others; dwarfs could have a defense bonus and a malus in the other skills and ogres a scoring bonus and a malus in the other skills.
There could be races who get old slower and begin to lower in their skill after 35 years, races who could reach a divine stamina, races with a limit in some skills, for example not more than formidable in playmaking...
What do you think of it?"
