Custom Game Worlds - New Advanced Rules & Features

[themd21 724]

Ability to set an average rating for matches in Custom advanced rules. In real life you players like Dahoud and Weigl rated around 87 but the'll never play in SM. Tactics window would not accept a team unless its average rating is no greater than in the set rules say maybe 89 or 90. Means you have to play your 87 rated with your 93.

• Managerial Stipulations - The ability to tie in sackings to specific positions on each club. Example; Barcelona in Division 1 (20 teams). Should the manager in charge finish the season below 10th position in Division 1 they would be sacked. The ability to tie in specifics to clubs based upon the owners preferences for seeing certain level of clubs achieve specific standards is something I believe is very much needed in forward thinking custom game worlds. We are currently trialling 'Self-Imposed Managerial Stipulations' in Top 100 where managers choose their own criteria for the difference between success & failures in the season in which the idea is that they would resign if they did not meet the criteria they set themselves. This would be a very fair & realistic ability to apply within your custom game worlds. It would likely only be used in social & well managed game worlds however on the other hand if you create your own custom world and made entry public for it but with stipulations tied to every club it would possibly encourage managers to look at squads & assess if they felt they could achieve that level of criteria with whatever was available to them & therefore avoid the sack & keep their job.

We're going to be looking at making some changes to Custom Game Worlds. So before we start work on this i've a nice simple question - what additional Advanced Rules would you like to see in Custom Game Worlds or features? For example you might want to be able to select a Squad Cap and be able to Allocate Squad Numbers in your Advanced Rules. For additional features you might want to be able to bolt on extra national leagues to your template.

when can i bolt on extra leagues

Any updates as to any improvements to custom game worlds & perhaps some of the suggested improvements being introduced at all? Other than the quick introduction of the 'About this Game World' information tab there seems to have been nothing new in what is near 6 months now.

[themd21 724]

How hard can it be to include a squad cap in the Custom World set up. Game worlds are on the brink of collapse because some managers refuse to play to a squad cap. Deliberately and brazenly going over into 100's of players. C'mon SM help the guys who want to enjoy the game.

I though you could? Bear in mind I've never set up a custom myself so I'm not sure, but a few of us were looking at setting up a custom and the idea of a squad cap and how high it should be was discussed by people who have set up custom worlds in the past. Like I say, I can't be 100% sure - maybe someone else can give a better answer?

Most important imo is the ability to remove a manager from the gw. it may depend on any criteria like 80% manager votes+ admin vote needed to kick someone out.. something like that. That would help in keeping a gw clean of cheaters and frauds.

[themd21 724]

Sorry lads but there is no facility to impose a squad cap other than good will and everyone agreeing. And if some managers chose to ignore the cap there is nothing the owner or anyone else can do. SM will not interfere and all you can do is isolate the offenders, don't buy or sell to them and hope they finish in the bottom 3 where they will then be sacked.

I support the wage capping idea because it would limit the squad sizes.

A topic created by an admin/dev over 2 years ago, never a reply since, plenty of ideas & nothing has been implemented within the last 2 years either from my knowledge. Why has SM Worlds been forgotten about & left for dead? Custom Worlds still thrive, are still where especially long term players of SM reside, myself for example starting in 2006, still playing Custom Worlds now. Still we are forced to apply & manage advanced rules & features ourselves as nothing has been implemented to help us do these things, has SM Worlds been left to die?

Anything on this?

Can SM turnover the overseeing of this game to somebody that cares?

[Ima Wrongun 174]

SM really have turned their back on this game. Alot of the popular gameworlds are overrun with cheats. SM are bang on when coming to penalise subscription paying customers from speaking out against cheats on the newsfeeds by banning them but the cheats themselves roam free. Theres some good customs out there that act as a kind of refuge from bad vibes going on on the premium gameworlds. The best customs however need a one or 2 rules which can only be brought in as a gentlemens agreement but theres always one prepared to spoil it.

I got to be honest though. It does feel like in here that theyve turned the lights off and made there way to the exit many moons ago. Fingers crossed when Crypto fails they take a return to basics strategy and look at resucitating this place.

[no_name91 10]

seems to me that SM is dying faster then before , not get updates , is all the same for 2 years most , i play this game since 2007 , never stopped , but i see many GW with so less players in , i´m in a Italian GW with only 5 players counting with me , for me that´s not very much competitive , i like a league with full active managers , the devs looks like that they not care about this anymore , now with that crap of Crypto is all about making more money .

about suggestions , i´d like that the loan offer from external clubs would be implemented , doing only with team inside our GW is very limited.

No rush.

Apparently, Paul (is it?) there are going to be some kinds of updates to SMW later this month. Or so I believe.

[Berbacat 15]

SM Worlds Improvement Suggestion: Day 1

Implement Wage Cap as a Gameworld owner. 

Benefits:

1) Prevents talent hoarding

Implementation:

1) Enable it as an option in Admin tab

2) Do not allow transfers (similar to when club budget is below 0) once Total Squad wage is above a certain amount 

3) Chairman notifies manager when Total wage after player contract renewals exceeds Wage Cap

Yes , they are saying September and are talking to about 20 managers about ideas.

But as you can see , they said this around 4 years ago and did nothing.

The previous improvements were dreadful and they have ignored the paying customer ever since.

Changes will be welcome but I doubt they are capable of actually improving it from our point of view.

[evoked87 602]

Very lengthy discussions reflect a much needed change to this faltering brand.

Not sure if it was mentioned but something very simple, a clear difference of the divisions, teams strive to get promoted.

Division 1 teams should have clear advantage especially in terms of financial means. Like they should have more income, more attendance, a player would choose to join the top club if the bids are exactly the same amount.
