Developpement Page




After having played a lot of times pbm or pbem games, I know that to have some future a game has to evolve to keep the interest of players alive. I also realize that my game is not perfect and that you can make it go better. I hope I will have the time to build this perfect game. In the game, the FIFA is supposed to choose wether or not a change is good but your role is to give them and me some great ideas of your own. Here is the list of all the great ideas I got and what is their point.

So feel free to email me at :

List of Ideas

Formation

My point :
Formation is the main source of new great players in France specially cause our team have a lot of taxes to pay which makes that they don't have as much money as the other. But formation occurs all around the world, be sure of that ! First, I wanted to have formation for the first game produced but I couldn't get a good idea about how to manage it. I had ideas, which follows, but didn't really like them.
1. Formation could only be done by non-player teams and the young players are sold to the wealthiest.
2. In each team, there can be 5 (or more ?) rookies which cannot play before 20 months for example and are 15 or 16 years old. First you can only know their position on the field but don't know their real value.
3. Each month you give some money to your formation center and each year you get one rookie in your team. The chances of him being good increase with the money invested in.
4. Some kind of a draft, the best rookies in the worst teams... just to make sure there are not to much differences between teams.



Dealing with the teams non-played

My point :
Another big question is the way to deal with the teams non-played, when they play against you or when you feel interested in their players. In all the countries played, at least 8 clubs of the Best Division are not played by players and in addition all the teams of the country non-played such as Brazil or all the european countries not played. I can of course create the team just like usual and define a definitive strategy, but that seems a little bit unfair. But in fact that is not the main point because nobody will play against them the first season (no european cups or international games or only friendly). The main point is how to deal with their players ? Should I say they are all available and if I (or the FIFA ?) thinks the offer made is sufficient, the player would agree ? Or should I say they are not available but each week I could publish the list of all the players available and their minimum offer ? The second solution seems more fair to me because for the second season new countries should begin such as Germany, England or Spain and if someone who has chosen Barcelona FC hasn't got Anderson or someone who has chosen Liverpool cannot have Owen or Fowler, I do not think he would appreciate; and in addition the team having played the first season would have the best players and all the european games could come to a single fight between italian and french teams, which I don't want to happen except if it comes from the intelligence and experience of managers. Are there better ideas ?


Precision of the management of the stadium

My point :
I have played a lot of computerized soccer management games and therefore I know that in a lot of games you manage your stadium very sharply. In some games you even choose the price for parking, the boutiques you have... My point is that Soccer Management is Soccer Management and not Sausages management and therefore you do not need to manay parameters for your stadium. That's why I chose very little parameters : number of places and quality of the stadium. But I would like to know if you want more. I could of course even deal with the price of the sausages at the C gate which is different than the one at the B gate because B comers are richer... But that does not seem very interesting.


Developpement of the net game through Webpages

My point :
I think that in this game, everybody should be allowed to make a webpage about his team so that everybody knows his players. So if the players want, they can send me their WebPage through email like a HTML document or a Word one. I think I can transform more formats but these ones should be sufficient. But before sending, ask me therefore I can tell you where to send it. Thanks !!!
