I have created a team now... A question, how does this work? :p The players will they be as good as they are ranked now or will that change in the next season? What I am asking is should I get players who played excellent in the 03/04 season or those that I think will play good in 04/05 season? And will this be in real time with the premier league? I cant seem to find a guide or something explaining this...

Yeah, you have to pick players that you think will perform well this premiership season. Your player will be awarded points according to the criteria below as the season unfolds.

It is the team at the end of the season that accumulates the most points that wins the league.

In this sense, it is better to pick players that will score well in the criteria above as oppose to those who are actually better over all players.

Make sure you don't forget to join the Neowin League!

can you change players in the middle of the season?

What solution do you think is the best, some greet players and some very poor, or the whole team being average?

I calculated total score per price and found that together you get more total point for your team with 2 players with 200 points than several players with a lower score...

But I will tweak it a bit, I am not satisfied...

^^^^In answer to above post^^^^

I have got the base of two or three very good players which will score highly then I have surrounded by cheaper players. My cheaper players are mostly young and unproven. This is a bit of a gamble, but if it pays off then I will have a few quality players whilst only paying a small amount. I have also made sure each player is likely to score highly in every catagory (assists, goals etc).

I also used another 'trick' for chosing a good squad but I will reveal later so you lot don't copy me.... :shifty:

(Although, again, it is a bit of a gamble).

We have eleven teams now! I am actually quite looking forward to this!

Just been making a few transfers - I must change about two players every day!

Ok I'm in, Team Relegation has joined the fight :D

I love the team name - it's great :D

Once the season starts transfers do not go through till the next week and only get 1 free transfer per week i think, any more than that cost you points!

Yeah, thats right!

Just making sure I pick the best players for my cause before the season starts so I won't have to do too much transfering during the season!

:cool:

      It's time to say goodbye to Edge and switch back to Firefox. There's no way to disable the ugly rounded corners that appear everywhere. Not even on the page frame. No one uses screens with rounded corners, you idiots.

    • Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The mind behind widely well-received games like Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian, Fumito Ueda, showed up at Summer Game Fest today, and that was to reveal his latest project. Being developed by genDESIGN, Gen Atlas is incoming with what looks to be plenty of mech and robot action. Watch the reveal trailer, which makes not much sense, above. The game will have players waking up on an abandoned planet where deserted facilities and grand designs from the original creators remain. Soon, they will stumble upon a colossal robot, from which players gain access to the power to change the world. "Across an endless expanse of time, the remnants of those forgotten constructs begin to move once more," adds the studio. The gameplay snippets seen in the trailer show the player character climbing giant robots (as expected from the creator), while also controlling these titans somehow as well. This is a fully single-player open-world adventure. “The team and I are grateful to all the fans who’ve been eager to learn more about our game,” says Fumito Ueda, CEO and creative director of genDESIGN. “Their passion and enthusiasm has always motivated and inspired us. We hope to share an experience that inspires moments of quiet wonder and discovery.” Before gaining the name Gen Atlas, Ueda first announced this project back in 2024 with the codename Project Robot. Interestingly, this will be a project being funded and published by Epic Games, which should mean that a Steam release is out of the question. Gen Atlas will be releasing on Epic Games Store, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced just yet.

      How backwards can you have it? Yes, Linux was gaining because of Linux handhelds and the push for gaming compatibility, but that's not desktop users, it barely converts anyone who owns a SteamDeck, though it helps for those who wanted to do it, but anyways, the AI+RAM debacle helped Linux because people can't easily upgrade their PCs easily and many hate AI so they'd be incentivized to try Linux.
