OSM Game Features : Chatroom - Suggestions
-
The last time I logged into OSM was eleven months ago. Over those eleven months, it looks like all custom avatars have been deleted and replaced with one of a selection of game-default avatars. I don't have any particular complaints about the feature being introduced, actually. I lament the loss of the old 2D default that served us well from at least 2013 (with one alteration!), but I've chosen to hoist the Turkish flag since that is apparently available.
But with that in mind: would it be possible for Gamebasics to give every staff member a special staff-only avatar - whether that be giving them a common character, a special background colour (orange and pink aren't used on any of the available avatars), or both? (I'm not suggesting that any of the current avatars be taken away for regular players, for the record.)
Staff members aren't always labelled as such on the forum: SpecialOne and Harry Poon aren't, even though they're definitely long-serving OSM staff members. Daniele Benjiamin is, but he's called a Community Manager. DE XRIST is also marked as an English Moderator. I feel like a consistent staff avatar regime would aid visibility - but I can understand the arguments against it (staff members have historically been able to choose avatars on an equal basis with the regular playerbase) and won't complain if this proposal isn't taken any further.

I don't know if they realize that their game neglects 60% of gamers.
What I would call the "casual gamer", the guy who connects like once a day, well OSM doesn't attract him.
If you want to win in this game, manager skills are like the least important thing of this whole game, while calling themselves a manager game...
If you want to win trophies it's not hard, all you have to do is log in to this game as much as possible.
The more you log in on a day, the more trainings you can do, the more Transfers you can do and the more tactical advantage you have because you just have to spy 5 minutes before the game to have a 75% chance to win it.
Si here is a suggestion for OSM to attract the casual gamer:
Make it possible to disable the spy, at least while creating a private league.
Sure when you're like 15 years old, it's fun to use the spy and beat everybody because you spied the latest.
But after ten years, I can tell you it's just boring...
There is just no skill required what so ever now.
So you close this game for more then half of your potential players, because losing games just because the other spied on you is just sad.
Where is the need for using your brain ? The need to analyse your opponents team and determine what tactics he'll play without actually knowing it? Where is the need for real manager skills in this game?
There isn't... Just go and ask on the forum what to do, sure it won't work 100% of the time but just the fact that you gain an advantage on the other person is not correct, sport is all about fair play and giving everyone the same chances on victory.
It's sad this game doesn't acknowledge this.
So take the time to think about it, but I'm sure that if you think more about the casual players you'll attract more people to this game.
Cheers,

Why are not all available leagues scoutable? For instance in Ghana league I see couple interesting players and it is a shame I cannot scout them..
-
You need to start banning these multi-accounts.
Another suggestion would be to create the possibility of having leagues created with 1 day of pre-season

[Improving medals ranking suggestion]
Okay, so we all know and are aware of these "pro" managers in top spots of global ranking that are winning matches easilly with 8+ goals every game or they are so good that they are playing closed leagues without any real opponent and in that way keeping their "hard earned" medal status...3
So, how about this? Why dont you guys make it impossible to earn medal points in closed private leagues? That way we they wouldnt be able to simply close out their leagues and boost their points in various illegal ways. Also it would give us who play competitive leagues (Battles, competitions etc.) chance as well to improve in the leaderboard as closed out leagues wouldnt make us lose points. Its sounds bit silly, but when you think about it, its an easy fix to a "global ranking filled with cheaters and multiaccounts" situation. At least its a start towards a more normal ranking, wouldnt you say?

@Majstor-Matt
Another fix is also to giving more medals for a win for a win against level 8/9/10 manager than a win against level 3/4/5 manager, and im not talking about difference in 10 or 50 points, but lets say if a win against level 3 manager is 75 medals, then a win against level 10 manager should be 7x higher (500 medals). That way those top ranked managers that play against their inactive "imaginary friends" who are mostly max level 5 would also get fewer points to mantain their ranking. -
@Majstor-Matt agree with every word which you said and supoort that change as well!
-
@Majstor-Matt true i agree
-
@Supersuperb agreed
-
okay thats great.

Please make like a paid/subscription league where you pay like 15 euros to be able to disable the micro-transaction store for the entire league.
This store aspect of the game really makes it unfair for players that don't want to spend 100 euros just to get ahead of the other players.
And in this way you can still pay for the upkeep of the servers. win/win in my opinion. -
@gabrielpouw_NL You already have thath option, you just need to make a private league and open it yourself. When starting the league you have the option to disable items from the store and also you can disable option to speed up timers.

Hello dear managers who love this game, I come through this topic to show how certain things need to be improved in this game, I have been playing Online Soccer Mangers for 8 years and this event simply goes beyond the parameters of competitiveness.
Where we have practically the same players appearing on transfer lists, it's absurd because we have thousands of players spread across the world of football, where we send a scout and he brings players that were already sold and you simply can't buy, a scout bringing a different player than was assigned to bring and so on.

Hi OSM, suggest to make the chat messages with friends in OSM to have a copying feature. This is in order to allow us to copy the message from our app and google translate from our phone, without the need to head to web OSM. This feature will benefit alot, as we do have communications with opponents or international friends, and not everyone use the same language, so sometimes translation is required, and to be able to make chat messages to be able to be copied will greatly improve user and game experience.

Make it possible to remove/block the data analyst when creating a private league.
-
Yup, I would like to see removal of Data Analyst as well. Would be much nicer and more tricky to counter someones tactics by examining and analysing on our own the style of his play during the league and comparing it to his current available players.
-
My suggestion is to enable quick substitutions, as in FIFA. It’s a bit unfair that the substitutions are “random” or based on how old or tired a player is, because no matter how tired they are, you would never send off a key player if you know they are the best and you need to win.
-
My suggestion is to block data analyst not because it is annoying but it will make the game more challenging
