    @diogovarela7 said in Avatar update:

    Good morning. @SpecialOne

    I'm not someone who expresses myself a lot here on the Forum, but this time it reached the limit. I come to show my total displeasure with this latest update, which shows a disrespect for an entire community of OSM. You (Staff) trample on longtime Crews, prestigious national and international competitions, and so on...

    This Avatar update means authentically removing the identity from a large section of the game.

    And what frustrates me the most, is that no one is ever being consulted about these changes. There's never a poll to find out what the community wants. Because of a small minority, you harm a considerable lot of managers, many of them with years and years of dedication and investment in OSM.

    I've been playing since 2010 and I have tolerated many game updates and competition prohibitions from you, the OSM Staff, over these past few years. Now, enough is enough. I'm sending a complaint email to Gamebasics.

    Excellent post. I’ve been playing since around 2012 for 10 years too. Completely agree with all this.

    Also these silly promotions, pay £5+ for more chance sales and speedy scout, while people in the same leagues don’t get this unless they pay makes it completely unfair and can be thrown in, in middle of competitions and can’t do anything about it. Please can we have the choice and have an option to turn these off with moderator options when creating leagues.

    Every single update is to create more money and it makes the game worse or less fair play. Just pure greed at this point to a game that already make lots of money without destroying fair play in competitions and private leagues.

    Avatars will soon be made available to buy 100% that will be the next move.

    Friendly battles was a good update, but the only one in years I can remember. Even though it is good the main reason for doing this is to make GB/miniclip lots of money/BC spend. I don’t think this wouldn’t have been done otherwise.

    I’m playing this game less and less over the years because of poor updates to the game. I’m not even playing in one league at the minute.

    I've been playing this game for 13 years and we are aware that the game is trying to increase its own profit rather than the players while every update is made, many of our good friends have left the game and will continue to quit, unless you prevent this, me and many of my dear friends will give up on this game. In every update, we can't help but think about what they ruined this time. What we call the update should improve the game and not ruin it even more. I ask you to listen to the voice of the players and fix the bugs instead of the updates you want and provide us more opportunities. Do not take it away from the people who play this game passionately.

      The game is officially dead.
      After manager points being removed that's the 2nd and final part of the mission called ''killing managers identity''.
      I have to finish 2 more tournaments and after that it's GAME OVER for me after more than a decade of playing this game.

      I also must say I never saw such a high level of greed in all my life, it's unbelievable. To play competitive you have to spend 50-100e per month. For such a simple boring one season game. (the community made the game interesting with different tournaments, NOT GB. )
      But what can you expect from a game where top of the rankings are cheaters with multi-accounts and no one cares about them, from a game where Hall of Fame managers are people who spent 1.000e, played one league and disappeared while managers who are playing 10-15 years are irrelevant???

      What to say about a game with allegedly ''hundreds of thousands'' of managers but 0 tournaments organized by GB? About a game where in the only ''official'' thing called official battles you play against same 5-6 crews for 5 years...

      Update after update it's getting worse...not to mention the ridiculous packs where you can buy events for yourself etc.

      The game is just sick!
      RIP OSM

        i truly cannot believe this. the little identity that each player, each group, and each national team had, is now in the mud. i mean, update by update things are getting to a point where it is no fun at all, and more and more pay to win. this is the way y'all want the game to progress? well, sorry guys, but the game is not progressing, is getting worse.
        don't come to me saying that we have innapropriate profile/group avatars, personally i haven't found one yet, and you, osm community staff, should have the sources to remove each one that appears, and apply the consequences to that manager/managers and that i respect, of course, and it's perfectly reasonable.
        each update is making the game worse, and worse, starting by the points system, the avatars, and ending in those packs or something that you buy to have less time in trainings or whatever.
        this is the path you want the game to follow? well, it sucks, purely sucks. now what? we'll have groups and managers with the same avatars? what about our identity? doesn't count? don't joke with our faces, it is enough.
        thanks for reading, i'll wait for the next ********** updat*******

        @renato-pratas I wholeheartedly agree. I remember when I first payed OSM in 2017, it was so much fun. After a few years I saw the points system disappear which was already so weird to me. Many more things followed and now THIS? Man, atleast I can represent anime on the forum, but I really liked using this profile picture as a badge of honour almost. What we have now is simply shameful...

          All i'm thinking off, is another cash grab from GB.
          In a few weeks, maybe months if we're lucky, they will introduce a 'season pass' for 9,99 every month where you can obtain 'special' avatars.

            Avatar update

            We have bad and good news.

            • Let's start with the bad news.
              We will no longer support uploading custom avatars for your manager or your Crew.
              Custom avatars are great, we all love uploading football images that suit us best. But there's a big downside and that's inappropriate content.
              Everyone can upload inappropriate images that will be shown to over a million managers right away.
              Of course, there's only a very small percentage of managers who would think of doing this. But still, it's dangerous and unsafe. And it happens.

            • In with the good news.
              We will be adding new avatars to OSM to choose from. So with this update, coming soon, every manager will get the same default avatar but can pick a new one from a cool selection. We thought of some cool stuff but we also want your input to create new avatars.
              Let us know which avatars you would like to have!

                    @specialone First of all, I would like to show my gratitude to the OSM team by sending us the explanation of the measure that has been carried out. However, I must show my disagreement with it due to the fact that, as coaches and trainers, we are seeing limited our freedom to add a photo of our liking restricted due to the fact that there is a minority phenomenon from which some people upload photos showing hatred , contempt or obscenity. Precisely because it is somewhat minor, responsible coaches do not have to see ourselves limited because there is a small number of irresponsible people, the solution lies in the fact that an option is included to report those profiles that result be inappropriate.

                    With regard to the new avatars and the LGTBI flag, I have to say that I personally do not mind that some coach or trainer puts it on their profile, not at all, because it must be respected, however, that it is included within a new package of mandatory images indicates that the development team has adopted a behavior that intends to compulsorily promote something that is already respected by most players, at least in their photos, you yourselves are acknowledging it by saying that obscene images suppose the minor part. As a coach who is passionate about the game, I ask that you reconsider the measure, which can be replaced by the aforementioned option to be able to report obscene profiles. Do not force to use images by default.

                    Also, finally, before censoring a comment, think about it objectively and without bias, because sometimes what seems like an insult really isn't, and if you censor indiscriminately, the only thing you will achieve is losing players.

                    If the measure persists, I will be forced to abandon the game.

                    Receive a cordial greeting.

                      Well, I think this topic clearly shows you done messed up Gamebasics, congratulations!

                      It literally takes me two seconds to think of a solution; allow managers to upload their own images when they reach manager level 5, maybe level 6? This way you don't have to deal with low level accounts doing weird things.

                      But then again, I know you are going to do nothing with this anyway. Have fun counting the money in Zoetermeer, cheers!

                              In my over 10 years of playing OSM I have never seen a manager with an offensive crew avatar or profile logo. I have only seen offensive usernames or Fantasy team names.

                              So I think there is just a very small chance that you see a manager or crew with an offensive logo.

                              I understand that there is being filtered on swearing words, but why no longer allow profile icons for something what is very fewly misused.

                              I think you should think again about this up(down)grade and eventually turn it back.

                                In my over 10 years of playing OSM I have never seen a manager with an offensive crew avatar or profile logo. I have only seen offensive usernames or Fantasy team names.

                                So I think there is just a very small chance that you see a manager or crew with an offensive logo.

                                I understand that there is being filtered on swearing words, but why no longer allow profile icons for something what is very fewly misused.

                                I think you should think again about this up(down)grade and eventually turn it back.

                                      @daniele-benjiamin What about offensive usernames? Im pretty sure there are more of them... Maybe give us all User ID's generated by the game wouldnt be bad? I hope they are thinking about that as well as I hate when I see offensive username...

                                        it's always been the same with a difference that if you loook weel isn't so big.
                                        Offenisve usernames couldn't be changed so users were locked. And they could create other accounts with other offenisve names just to joke.
                                        Offensive avatars could be changed by users, but users after they changed often uploaded other new offensive images some days later.
                                        So in both the situations there isn't an end as you can image.

                                        It seems that a porno avatar or an offenive name is a way to be cool with himself.

                                        And in that time there weren't limitations that there are now by google and apple for developers, I think that now GB got to a limit and has been forced to take this decisions about avatars.
                                        We only have to wait that the process will develop in a more efficient way to solve problems in chats and in crew's acronyms

                                          @daniele-benjiamin I understand everything, but to give merely an option of a 50 basic low level avatars to choose from even though you had decision given couple months before is a joke. Is it so hard to hire a graphic designer to give more options to users? Hard at least to give options to use club badges as avatars or all flags in world? All in all this all looked rushed and unprofessional at end and that is the biggest problem.
