alright so before, i told you guys to simulate/lose, bid .1 over the asking price, and you should get a lot of the players u want that are around 80 or lower in skill, as far as i've been able to check.

So, got a few corrections to make to this.

Basically, the CPU thinks in a computer way, if one thing happens, let this happen, if another thing happens, do something different.

Same goes for buying.
I have discovered that the two "things" that can happen are :
1) play a game
2) simulate a game
(most of the time, simulation of a game will turn out same constantly)

So, if you can't get a player for .1 or .2 over his price, try doing the other alternative (if you played, simulate, and vice versa)

Also, it varies by week, so try on the next week if you can't get a person, and try both alternatives again. I have gotten every player i want with this strategy.
Save after you've complete a successful week of dealing, and spend a bunch of time on the next week, trying different combinations...not as complicated as it may sound :)

I simulated, and got Barthez, Cannavaro, and Kaffour on one week, all for .1 over, Kaffour for his flatvalue price, but couldnt get Alan Smith
( i experimented though, they wanted 1.1 more than his value)

SO, i played the game instead, couldnt get Barthez, Cannavaro, NOR Kaffour, HOWEVER, i got Smith for .3 million UNDER his value!!

exited out, played the game again, SAME result, proves its a pattern of certain combinations.

Seriously try it, come on read the post, its not very long, spaced it out :)

yeah right! I think that doesn't help with really expencive players like ronaldo, henry etc....

You will have to make an offer at least 4 million above the value...
But then again, you will have a big star in your team...

I like that, because it's realistic, only a big european team can offer a bid as high as that
So you won't see scenario's like a small club buying big stars like them.... and that's realistic !

yup ! i agree :rockman:

seems you guys can't read....aww....

"you should get a lot of the players u want that are around 80 or lower in skill, as far as i've been able to check"

its okay, reading is an acquired skill, it will come to you i swear

And why dont' you try playing with a division 3 team? work your way up, you're not even going to be able to buy a star like henry, your budget is like 7 or 8 million at most. Its a little more skillful :) and in my opinion, more fun, i like discovering new players training them to become 80'ers, making a business by then selling the players for more than u bought them for, and then actually, seeing how much better you play when you use a 90+ player in a friendly, try it.

anyone gonna try it out? or someone got another way to go about buying your players?

It didnt work for me, I won a game then simulated and tied and bid over for Di Natale. The transfer window closed so it'll be a while before I try again.

wait........please explain the difference if u play and win a game or simulate and win a game, how will that help u in bidding? Sorry, i dont understand ur strategy :(
also, does it depend if u win or lose a game (played or simulated)

hey shevacrazy

I've just kinda tried different combinations and realized the computer reacts the same way in the transfer market when you simulate a game (no matter the outcome), or when you play a game ( no matter the outcome).

Not supposed to make any sense, its just a way that the programmers made the CPU, using this as a random fork in its decision making.

So, try playing a game, getting ot the transfer market window, bidding .1 or .2 over the guys value that u want, maybe u'll get him.
if you don't, exit out, SIMULATE instead, and there is a chance that this time the computer will accept the offer .

If not, wait til next week, and try both possibilities again, its all patterns.
