Specific Player Positions - Discussion Topic
-
@majstor-matt Have you saw this already?
Specific positions is individual bonus.
Imagine that total bonus is 11points, for every player on correct position you'll get 1 point. So, if you have 5 players on correct positions you'll have 5 points bonus! -
@specialone
I missed that. Interestng. Considering the problem with buying certain position players, this is good news
Cheers! -
@majstor-matt
Do you (or someone else) have any rough estimation about the impact on match results?For example:
50% player skills
30% formation & tactics vs opponent's formation & tactics
20% for specialists, nationality bonus and player position bonusses?
(training camp bonus not included)I try to get some idea about how to make decisions in situations like when I have a right wing back with 90def+25att skill but also a DC with 95def+17att skill that I don't need in the centre: who should a give the DR position? Since the new system was introducted last week I had to make several decisions like that but I can't make a good estimation about the impact of player positions but I would like to make some calculations (based on estimations).

@SpecialOne Greetings, can you please indicate when the player positions will be added to the web version as well? I think this should be a high priority. Thanks.

What do you mean?
Player positions are live on ALL platforms since they became available to all users!
-
@specialone Greetings, I mean in the league overview section, such as this one: https://en.onlinesoccermanager.com/LeagueTypes/Team/8/9
I think it would really help if they are added here as well! It will give the managers a better idea where to look for specific players.

@the-best-manager-in-the-world_nl Also there already! Set live on this morning update!
If you still don't see them, just 'force' a cache update by pressing CTRL + F5 or Shift + F5 (depending on Browser)

@specialone Awesome! Thanks

@specialone Hi, I am playing in the club history b league with Barça 2008-2012. But it seems like many players are in the wrong positions like Abidal as RB and Alves as LB and also while Eto'o is LF, Messi is SF. Isn't there something wrong?
-
@sercan0102 Maybe that where there positions at that time

Nope, I was a real fan of Barca that time and those were not the positions definitely.

@specialone Hi mate, small question. It appears I can see the player positions in Microsoft Edge, but not in Google Chrome. I have cleared my cache and everything but that still didn't change anything. Any idea what is causing this?
Thanks.

@specialone said in Player positions don't show on windows, only on phone app..:
Some of the OSM features are 'limited' to a single browser.
This means that if you keep switching browsers, you risk to not have those features on any of them.
We're aware of this limitation and trying to solve it, but we've no estimated date for it.
Until then, our advise is that you should avoid as much as possible to log on web on different devices/browsers. Stick to same device and browser to have all features enabled!

@specialone same here, edge + phone working but chrome doesnt
-
@emietti
But I also play on Google Chrome! I'm having no problems. -
Nice touch with the green around the player when he is in position on the formation screen. Any chance of doing something like this for nationality bonus?

For managers who play 451 and 4231 its really hard to find RM and LM players in transferlist and there aren't too many players with this specific position especially if you're looking to get 80 - 85+ rating player. If you use scout you can choose only RM or LM and I would like something to change about this. Make the scout to search for both RM and LM in same time and maybe add more players with this specific positions.
-
Use your own creativity, instead of simply copying features from other games.

@isabellone I agree with this. After a few weeks I think detailed positions don't work for OSM. It's not possible to analyze the impact of placing a player on a different position in the same line. Also the Transfer List in OSM is very limited. It happened quite often that there was only 1 really better player on the transfer list. Now it may occur that that player is a Left Forward while I already have 2 players for this position. We need more players on the transfer list now there are more specific positions.
Also @JetonT. 's comment has been posted here before, I am wondering if still working on improvement or considering going back to the situation before the specific player positions were introduced. The MR and ML are indeed the worst positions to find a new player, but there are also times when there is not a single RF, LF, LB or RB available of decent level.
Last point is that the new system reduces tactical options. You have to choose between for example 4-2-3-1 and 4-3-3 B if you want to make a good team. You need 14 top level players if you want to be able to switch between these 2 formations. And when my RF is injured or tired then I have to use a less ideal player on that position. In OSM it's not possible to build a squad with a decent backup on every position (like I do on football manager).
