Jambo Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Fair enough I get annoyed at teams not really fnacying my ageing striker who is on 60k pw but you've went a bit overboard trying to fix it no? I'm Sunderland in season 1 and 17th with 2 games to go, despite being awful it doesn't stop a host of European giants chasing my players. Anton Ferdinand being fought over by Milan and Bayern for £7.5m. Keiran Richardson got a host of top European clubs bidding £5m for him. Lorik Cana has Madrid bidding £6m. Malbranque has Bayern bidding £5m. Players you couldn't shift for peanuts before all going for a few million. Some of them not even played regularly for a relegation threatened side. Wp This is online, other players in the game getting ridiculous offers too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hershie Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 It does seem a bit too extreme in the other direction from how it previously was, but it's not quite as ridiculous as on past occasions. What concerns me though is not the amount of interest or the fees, but the amount of it from big clubs - ie. top clubs being interested in pretty average players.

macco88 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 the bids to go a bit OTT For Burnley I signed Grandin, Namouchi and Mota on free's at the start of the first season. Barely played them and sold Grandin for £5.5 mil, Namouchi for £7.5 mil and Mota for £7.5 mil. I also got £5.5 mil for Eagles. Has anyone else noticed that the fans get upset when you sell players, who are back ups or crap youngsters. I sold Bikey for £5 mil in the second season (first season I put him out on loan). He only played 5 games, got injured in the first 5 mins in one game and then got sent off 3 times in 4 matches and the fans got upset with me for selling him. I was jumping for joy that got anything for this clown. Funny thing he got sent off in his second game for them and got a 6 match ban lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
muncherdave Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 In my Sunderland save (first season) I couldn't get any offers for Richardson, Murphy or Healy. Post patch I sold Richardson to Arsenal for 6m, who was relieved to move because of a lack of first team opportunities for me. I have no idea how he's going to get them at Arsenal. This is the over the top transfer of the three. Murphy and Healy offers were accepted for 3m and 1.6m from QPR and Newcastle respectively. Sounds realistic enough and I was well chuffed with that, except Murphy demanded 23k p/w of his 25k p/w of his contract to be paid by us until it is due to end and Healy demanded the 19.25k difference in wages from his current 25k p/w contract with us. The Richardson offer is clearly unrealistic, and as for the other two, I think I'll just have to pay a hitman to take them out and get them off my wage bill. Might only cost a weeks wages a piece. Oh and as for the pee poor Roy O'Donovan - no club will take him off my hands for free, so there are still some limits at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only offer players out for values you feel they are worth. IMO it's not the values, but rather the type of teams that come in, and the shear number of them. For instance, pre 10.2 I would offer out Toni Kallio for £1.5mil and would get the likes of Sheff Utd interested (which couldn't be anymore realistic given he's currently on loan there IRL) but now I'm getting Porto, Fiorentina, Athletico Madrid etc making offers. Why would these big reputation teams playing in the Champions League want to buy a 31 year old Championship player at best, especially when most of them already have several defenders that are not considered first team players ? -Mic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
reflection22 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Haven't experienced any problems with this so far, it's a huge improvement on the last patch, where it was almost impossible to even give players away for free. Much better now. I haven't been getting huge offers either, seems to be either about their value or sometimes you have to offer them out for slightly less to get any bids. If you do offer them out for slightly more than their value you get far less bids for most players (obviously for top players you will get more bids, which makes sense).

reflection22 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Surely £9.5m is about right for Bentley? In real-life he joined Tottenham for £17m last year, sure, he hasn't been playing regularly, but there's no way they'd let him move without recouping at least £8-10m. The only thing questionable is the fact European giants want him and not more top 10 kinda teams, like Villa/Everton etc and their foreign equivalents. On my single player game with patch 10.1.1 I couldn't get an offer for Bentley at £6m, all of a sudden with patch 10.2.0 I was getting £9.5m for him from Barcelona, Juventus and Man Utd or which he chose Juve.

I am in no way a fanboy (see any previous posts of mine) but you really should get the patch it is far superior. apart from this offer out issue the game is spot on. It is said the hardest thing to do in football is score goals, most of the 7-2s 8-1s 5-4s 4-4s etc are gone but will occur occasionally, matches are far better, you are much more tactically involved.

There was talk last night of pausing our online game to wait for a fix as everyone thinks this is a huge problem. Teams are all set to rake in an absolute fortune for average players going to top european teams. Personally I think this is the biggest flaw there has been in the last few years. It allows you to basically afford anyone in the game by selling players for inflated prices all the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
