McBride Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Reputation in the game is odd. It feel stagnant when in real life it seems more flexible. I understand why players are attracted to higher reputation leagues but I think most player would choose my treble winning Basel (in the Swiss league) who will play in the CL over Watford in this scenario. I also have had players ask to leave when we are about to win the league. It doesn't make sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnip Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I agree with your point about club reputation not changing quickly enough, but I'd imagine most players would pick a Premier League club over Basel in real life. If for no other reason than they'll probably make a lot more money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not about the Money only: Watford are based in a more competetive league, with a higher reputation, and may even have a higher reputation that your team (Based on Premier league rep vs success), the level of players\coaching\training all needs to be considerd as well. All of the above and more are factors in why players might move. Has your team made progress in Europe to increase your reputation, or is your Treble a domestic one? (Not meant to minimise if it's the latter, but that will only benfit local\national rep vs Worldwide rep) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought because we were going to be in the Champions league that that would increase our draw. Edited February 19, 2021 by McBride Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To a minor extent only, but could be off-set by league reputation (Prem vs Swiss) As you've only just got to the Champions league, your rep could be that you are still a low rep team in that. Get to and out of the group, and that would increase I imagine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Julius Flusfeder Posted February 23, 2021 SI Staff Share Posted February 23, 2021 Hi @McBride Do you happen to have a save game from before the transfer went through? If so, could you upload it so we can investigate this please? As @plcarlos states, the league reputations will have a big influence here as moving to the Prem will involve greater exposure, greater opportunity for future moves etc. But definitely can look into this for you Details on how to do that can be found here - Cheers, Julius Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
