uture is impossible to predict. We can't for sure know what the long term effects of the changes may be. Yet some are necessary while others are just fun. Whatever the reason for change is, it is always met with mixed emotions. Nevertheless, changes are needed.

Economy in any online game is a very tough and challenging problem. Any serious MMORG who had some kind of economy and market forces, would have seen the tests they need to go through and manage maintaining interest and fun with the economy in the game being almost a living entity, not always following reason or logic.

In our beloved game we have seen and will see some transfers, deals and changes that are hard to understand but it is only realistic those will happen no matter what, because we all are different, have different ideas on what a good and fair value of something is.

Some managers are really good at tactics, some are excellent at finding young talent, and some are just masters of getting the right player at right price, even though at the time it seems strange or naïve.

Here are the major changes managers need to be aware of in order to understand what is happening and why does it happen.

What it used to be may no longer function as you would expect and there are reasons for that.

Ticket Price Settings

The reason for this is simply because the old ways were using the prices set at £10 for every seat in the game. This was very unrealistic and needed changing.

How it works now, is based on club level, country economy, squad popularity, club popularity and fan factor. Club levels will most likely change in the future but they remain constant for now as is the country economy factor. Squad popularity is in your hands as the manager, getting the best players for your club. Club popularity is your club rating and it will raise and fall it the success of the club. Fan factor is what fills up your stadium on home games. It is also a variable based on your club success.

With this feature, you have full control of price settings at any given day. What an optimal price for your team is very individual for each club.
