General Help/FAQ: Deal Blocked?

July 21st, 2008 by SM Dev (ste)

Most transfer deals will go through at the first attempt, however a small percentage of transfers are blocked by either the the SMFA or your Chairman.

First you will have to understand the difference between a deal blocked by either the the SMFA or your Chairman in order to have success within the transfer market:

Chairman keeps blocking your deal?

The chairman makes their transfer decisions based on a number of factors which are designed to look after the best interests of both clubs involved. The chairman acts as a level playing field to keep the game fair and balanced. The vast majority of deals are approved by the chairman.

The chairman bases his decision on a number of factors which are listed below.

Age of player (too young or too old is not good business);

Value of player (too much or too little offered is not good business);

Players Rating to the average squad rating of both the selling and buying clubs (selling a star player for less than value or poor player for more than his value);

Size of transfer budget (spending all budget on one average player is not good business);

Your managers reputation level (less than 40 is a potential unsporting manager, 40 is a new player and a potential higher risk);

Manager’s length of service (brand new manager blowing their transfer budget or selling their stars is suspicious and unrealistic);

Both manager’s past transfers (multiple dealings between two seemingly unrelated clubs).

If you still require a few pointers you can view a recent article called ‘Transfer Deal Tips‘.

SMFA keeps blocking your deals?

Most transfer deals will go through at the first attempt, however a small percentage of transfers are blocked by the SMFA . The SoccerManager.com Football Association (SMFA) is designed to stop suspicious deals and does this very effectively using our sophisticated cheat prevention system (CPS).

The sophisticated CPS system monitors all suspicious transfer activity, club activity, taking over control of clubs and user registrations. We know when dummy accounts are set up in order to benefit yourself and/or friends by doing dodgy transfers, all activity is logged, all the transfers you do or try to do and with who are logged.

If you are cheating in this way we will know about it and you will be banned from doing deals between these two accounts (especially seeing we are taking a tougher stance regarding in-game cheating). Unfortunately there is nothing you can do in relation to this, and we suggest you attempt to carry out transfers with another manager.
