1. Board, economy, taxes and player discovery
Board took the money once, we will try to avoid that happening again, economy is changing, players demand more realistic wages, taxes is every man's reality, and lately the taxes are reduced to maximum of 30%.
Player discovery is one of the most fun part in any football management simulation. Managersim generates now an incredible number of talented players. What takes time is training and nurturing them, giving them enough experience to make them stand out from the rest. Smaller teams and countries could rarely produce any superstars, that has changed.
2. Player match ratings and nervous away games
When the match starts, all players start with a rating of 6, which then is increased or decreased depending on how player performs.
Goalkeepers lose rating each any of the following is true (at the end of the match)
- conceded goals are more than saved attempts
- failed to save 3 or more than number of saved shots
- failed saves are as many as saved shots
... and gain a rating point when:
- hasn't failed to collect the shots and 1 more rating point for saving 3, 6, 9 shots on goal
- if let in goal but still saved more than 70% of the attempts
- when saved more than 3 attempts vs failed, example saved 7 and failed 3
Defenders lose rating point when
- the percentage of successful passes are less than 50%
- less than 50% of the headers are successful
- when tackles success ratio is 25-55% successful ( -1 point )
- when 10-35% of tackles are successful ( -2 points )
- when 0-10% tackles are successful ( - 3 points )
... and gain rating of
+ 3 points when >96 percent successful tackles performed
+ 2 points when >85 percent successful tackles performed
+ 1 point when > 75 percent successful tackles performed
Midfielders lose rating point when
- when pass success ratio is 25-45% successful ( -1 point )
- when 10-25% of passes are successful ( -2 points )
- when 0-10% passes are successful ( - 3 points )
... and gain rating of
+ 3 points when >80 percent successful passes performed
+ 2 points when 65-80 percent successful passes performed
+ 1 point when 55-64 percent successful passes performed
Forwards lose rating point when
- when shots of target are more than shots on target
- when shots on goal are more than 4 and all are off target
- when shots on goal are more than 10 and all but one is on target
... and gain rating of
- when shots on goal are more than shots off target
- when shots on goal < 3 but they all went in
- goals scored are more than shot outside goal
- goals scored are more than 2 than those shot outside
* Anyone scoring on penalty gets one extra rating point
** Sent off player gets rating lowered by 1-5, depending on what minute it happened.
In league games, top placed teams when playing away games, can sometimes play nervously during the first half, because there is much at stake. What that means is players perform worse than they normally would against same team at home ground without any other advantage giving perks such as home ground advantage and win bonuses.
