I have updated some rules by accident which has meant that no managers can buy any players from un-managed teams.
It will not let me change this setting back to the un-ticked option.
What can I do?

When I go to 'tactics' I see injured and NMF players in the 11, does that mean they will play in the game?
How can I see who will play?

Bid for free agent and noticed another team also bid, so withdrew bid and bid higher since I thought high bid would win. Turns out BOTH bids were accepted and now have a message that the PLAYER will decide which team to go to. When did this change? Is it only for Free Agents? Will the decision be random, better team or highest bid?

In my game world the owner private locked the game world then he left. Now the game world is owned by soccermanager.com but it is still private locked. This is virtually shutting down the game world as every manager leaves one by one. When there is one or less managers the game world closes. This means people such as me are deprived because as a long term player of this game world I don't want it to shut down.

Does this feature still work? Example - I have played concerned players for 30-40 games of the season and their level has not changed since May!! In addition, in another setup there is a team with 153 players, with more than 2 teams worth of players that 'would expect some action', but yet again concerns levels are few and far between, and any concerns are only at level 1...The reason I bring this up is because I'm a bit peeved at the aforementioned manager...I am currently bidding for Cissoko as I am desperate for a good LB until my youth develop, however this manager has decided to bid, although he already has four 90 rated LB's + Bale and Criscito who imo will increase to 90!! What's going on? I like to develop a youth team, but when a manager continues to buy players they won't ever play, it just spoils the game!!!

My girlfriend plays as Stoke who won the league last season with a very average side and was going to quit as she hasnt any cash but when she was struggling I was kind enough to loan her a player now and then. She needs 3 players which I am happy to loan, and I'm also loaning to other team too but for everyone else, its okay, for her its not!!! Its a little sad as there is no cheating, nor has there been a single transfer between us so why should she struggle more just because were on the same computer??
thanks

drag a non-suspended player from the bench or reserves to the position of the suspended player then they should swap. just make sure the non-suspended player can play in the suspended players position and the non-suspended player is free to play!! so make sure hes not injured cup tied or suspended etc.
Answered by Shia Evans - 8 years ago
sadly not a lot you can do. people will report transfers if the deal favors the one manager more then the other. for example if you got a player who is worth £12m and you sell him to another club for £34m+ this looks dodgy to other people so they will report it. but also people will report bids/deals due to them not wanting players to go to a club to make that club stronger etc. or they want the player them self's. but i`m sure i seen somewhere on here that sm will check the deals them self's when there are new players on here! so new players between 40 maybe to 60 will have the deals checked by a moderator not by the computer to make sure they are not being done by experienced players. but sadly not a lot you can do.

they took it away as people was using it in the wrong way!! for example people would activate holiday mode for the 30 days then they would come back on a the day it deactivates or the day before! then they would do the same thing again so they don`t have to pay attention to the teams as the assistant manager would swap injured/suspended or not match fit players. if you have 22+ players who are rated 93+ you will still win most things with out you doing anything yourself! so sadly if you want time off here your going drop down the league due poor condition of players and your going to lose your teams after the 30days!! sad really sm should have thought about that better really!!
Answered by Darwin Evo - 8 years ago
yes same thing happening in a couple of game worlds i am playing, so obvious they are cheating and its annoying, one player worth 32 mill went for 54 mill, another 6 mill went for 14 mill, both transfers performed by same 2 clubs within 3 days
Answered by grzechu gie - 8 years ago
I am only guessing, but, I would have to say, it may have something to do with player "hoarding" if you will, I haven't found an icon, or, option, that allows you to placate a players concerns, it maybe that once they get to level 4 or 5 concern, you are effectively unable to offer them a cash incentive to stay, to keep the disparity between someone who only has 23 players and someone else who has 180 players in the same game world, thus keeping the transfer market, and, the circulation of players, and their respective positions and talents moving at all times, only reasonable explanation for it I can think of, hope this helps a little.

ive always tried to have my starting 11 no lower than 97%, (96 at a push)
With the regards to the player concerns, i think this is a change they have made recently, totally unrealistic and ruining the game in my opinion. I rested a couple of players and straight away they were unhappy.

you have to write down the id of the game world your in and then send it to your friend in a private message. then he can search for it then join your game world. and the reason its changed is to stop mangers offering clubs to friends/fake accounts so that no one can take over that club or buy players from that club for 30 days etc. hope this has helped you!!!! :)
Answered by Miloslav Hečko - 9 years ago
no since the updates the values as gone up!! so the value of the transfer listed player should be worth more now then before the updates!! unless your player as any concerns as soon a player gets a concern the value will drop!! for example neymar is worth £80m but now he as a level 4 concern his value is now £48m!!!! hope that helps your!!!! :)

I have tried using M(R) for right side of 3-5-2 and it has no problem for me.. I doubt are you using the wrong player on that position? I guess you are using AM(R) on that position right?

Soccer Manager is very different from other soccer games that it does not have tactics like counter attack or whatsoever.. so all you can manage for your team tactics is just the team instruction and player instruction as displayed on the tactics page.. other than that you can manage your in-game instruction if you wanted to make substitution during the match.. hope this helps you..

If you haven't found it yet, click the globe icon towards the top left of your club page and then select "player database" from the drop down options. You will then have the options "player changes" and "new players" to choose from.
