Important info regarding new stadium system

126594 Rasmus Rønn Nielsen, The Dudes 28 November 2011, 15:39

Our servers are currently calculating and sending Stadium Credits and building the foundations for your new stadiums.

That is why you might see an empty grass field at the moment if you click "My club > Stadium".

We expect this proces to have completed around 3:30pm.

Update

We're currently having an error with notifications not being available on most pages. We are working on fixing this. Sorry about the inconvenience.

same old same old

new ideas for the game, that never quite work until a few weeks down the line, then the same old reasoning: the server couldnt handle the workload or somebug has got into the system and we are trying to correct it asap.

come on boys this used to be so much better until you decided to keep trying to fix something that wasnt broke.

bring back the old VM

*******Well to be frank, yes I did expect it to just work. Why shouldn't I, that is what i was told would happen so why would i not expect it, it's called customer service! Not hot on too many agenda's nowadays but still sought by most customer.

easy steps are:-
create upgrade
test upgrade on passive system
ensure server can deal with upgrade (if not, don't install upgrade til it can)
install upgrade - no problems!

All potential problems were reasonably foreseeable by the creators and could/should have been ironed out before installation.

What did they say earlier - ther're not gonna rush upgrades through but instead make sure that they do it right - not demonstrated here I'm afraid

just my opinion



147343 Thomas Bull, Derby County 28 November 2011, 19:11
Why cant I click on anything?

73485 not paying to be robbed, bocaseniors 28 November 2011, 19:13
And now it's working, we see the real reason for upgrade - either you wait all day for stadium to build or buy VM credits. Very, very disappointing

Can non premium teams add seats to 4,500 seats like they used to or does it stop at 4280.............. surely if we could add 240 more seats (which is what a corner stand takes on upgrading to level 3) it would be closer to to 4,500 seats.....it would be 4520.....or will eventually we be able to add individual seats....


However, Well done, looks great........ smiley

116288 Uncle Fester, MOT Mavericks 28 November 2011, 20:33

This is the most expensive picture I ever bought, Rasmus you need to raise the VM tickets because in the REAL world matchday tickets are not that cheap, I personally think this should have optional, very disappointed with this ,

Yes it looks nice but thats not going improve my club, my question what is the point of having fewer seats?because your stadium looks ''Cool"

This is your worst move!!, you wasted time, effort and our credits!!

Please do not make un-nessessary changes because you want impress with pretty pictures

I hope to see my team play in this stadium.....

Very Disappointed!

can someone please tell me why the costs for building my stadium have come out of my own revenue???????

was informed i had 2.8 million credits to build stadium yet i have used 2.5million to get to level 3 but all has been taken from my account not the so called credits i was given.

stadium looks great, but very dissappointed in the whole saga including the fact i have lost revenue, my next training upgrade is a long way away now.

i am contemplating just calling it a day and finding some other football manager game to participate in.

Great job guys and girls,

Mine is working perfectly. Good job, now we need to keep the upgrades going by adding refreshments like the pros.

113087 Wayner, tspurs 29 November 2011, 02:02
Great job guys, the general calculation with my club seems to be, roughly, 1,000,000 credits to every 1,000 bought so I don't know if I win or lose a bit, if the same calculation is used on all clubs then it should work out about fair!? Must admit I got a bit 'enticed' into building stadium spending some of my own credits instead of saving for the next training upgrade... but it's cool to be patient and hang round the 'lower leagues' for a while. Reminds me of when I first started plying the game. Next step.. Tactics in game play!!? Great game, carry on....

38526 Zoob, Darwin Evolution 29 November 2011, 06:05
Can anybody explain how several months developing and rolling this out adds anything to the game? I thought the stadium editor idea was a bit pointless (since it doesn't require any skill, or add to game-play) but I did think it might mean people could edit their stadium in terms of different designs, colours, etc... which would make it slightly more fun, albeit still ultimately pointless. But it doesn't even have that. As others have said - we now have a nicer picture. And the opportunity to buy VM Tickets (no thanks).

For me, I've played the game, slowly building up stadium then training, stadium then training.. now I've just been put back a year or so. My 66,000 stadium is now a 33,000 stadium. Even if I put ticket prices up, I'm still going to be making 25-40% less per season.

2 years ago, over 4 out of 5 VM player said the developers should concentrate on game-play rather than how the game looks. I'm still foolish enough to play, but there's been little to no meaningful game-play developments in the last couple of years, and certainly nothing that rewards skillful play. Feel pretty let down really...

156555 Rasmus Rønn Nielsen, The Dudes 29 November 2011, 10:19
Larry Grayson, we're using the old stadium capacity until Dec 2nd. We explaned this in this this blog post.

If you spend regular Credits on your upgrades it is because you have tried upgrading something you could not afford with your Stadion Credits. If you want that purchase to be cancelled write support, and we'll help you smiley

156555 Rasmus Rønn Nielsen, The Dudes 29 November 2011, 10:21
Wallace, that is because you did not make any upgrades to your old stadium. It was a 500 seats which is what you started with.

And as Stadium-Credits was meant to be a refund our the money spend on your stadium it makes sense you did not get any.

156555 Rasmus Rønn Nielsen, The Dudes 29 November 2011, 10:21
patrick, thanks! Glad you like it smiley

I agree with Zoob at present. All exciting stuff building the stadium, but as credits are important part to this footy game, does this mean all others areas are coming down in cost so we can afford things. At present there is now know insentive to increase the size of your stadium, up there with paying to change your kit which is a waste of time. Hopefully I'm jumping the gun and things will improve, but I feel I have been hard done by at this stage.

oh what a lovely picture to look at in the stadium editor. yet i have lots of stadium credits sitting doing nuthing gonna b wasted. i have also lost o fortune of credits due to last nights auction shambles...i have been a very good customer to virtual manager and this is how we al get repaid. well last night i cancelled my subsciption an when my premium runs out i think im done with virtual manager.
