NEW TOURNAMENT: ASIAN CHAMPIONS CUP 2021
The Asian Champions Cup 2021 started this week and is now also available in OSM!

Last season, The South Korean club Ulsan Hyundai won the title, winning 2-1 against Persepolis of Iran in the final! Are you going to defend the title with Ulsan Hyundai? Or do you choose another club like Al-Hilal or Esteghlal?

Check out the Tournaments tab, choose your favorite team, and let's see if you can win!

Can you (or someone else from the staff) please respond to my message about transfer workers that take place just before match time? See my post at 13:10 in this topic: https://forum.onlinesoccermanager.com/post/1126035

I hope the staff won't miss this message now that the discussion about medals started again here.

Hey mate, did you manage to get any info or statement about this? I started having the same problem, transfers literally 10mins before the game simulation.. It is really tricky If you dont have time to make changes in your line up at the right moment...

@majstor-matt No response from GB or Admins so far...

Majstor Matt

@koningco I see, thanks for the reply.

This is so bad if its an update for transfer worker.
Please, can any of the admins answer the question, why do transfers take place in the middle of a match simulation?

Thanks,
Regards

can you provide an example? (when it happened, league number, ecc..)
there aren't market sessions during server simulations, maybe some other manager made a purchase?

Its happening in my battle league that is currently in progress. Last transfer workers after the timer for the game ends and merely 10mins before match sim which is around 20:43.

I think this is it, player Trippier. Transfer that happened while "Match in play" in my battle league: Evil Empire vs ClujNapoca Team

And this is not the 1st time, 2-3 times before this one.
Other managers also made complains about this, but no one responded.
Osm is like Ghost Town when we need answers..

Hello Daniele,

I posted about these transfer workers around match time earlier. See this topic on the support part of the forum:
https://forum.onlinesoccermanager.com/topic/63025/transfer-workers-just-before-match?_=1625079975709

And it happened again today at my team Rotherdam United.

I wouldn’t expect help on the workers before sim issue. Least one staff has replied and will try.

Abit of advice to help with it……….

If you have time count how many workers have happened (always 8 per day so you know if to expect one or not)
Don’t have players on the list in your starting line up if you can’t be around or have no good replacements. Just have your substitutes on the transfer list.

Not ideal but it will help with your starting line up.

Daniele Benjiamin

@koningco yes, upon requests and suggestions from users, transfers rounds have been adjusted in a way that all rounds occur during daylight, so last rounds could be close to match simulations...so be careful to not line up players that are on transfer list, or to not set on transfer list players that you want to use in next match

@daniele-benjiamin Thanks for the reply. It's good that transfers now occur during daylight times. Will there be an official announcement or is this still a test.

About the workers during match simulation times, can this be changed. For example last worker at least one hour before match time or shortly after the match simulation?

I think many users want to keep their players on the transfer list in stead of removing them before the match and adding them again after the match. Especially because the impact on the match result is huge when you have only 10 players in your line-up (and 8 on the bench).

HISTORICAL TOURNAMENT: AFRICA 2008
Every month we give you the opportunity to play a temporarily available Tournament! This month: Africa 2008.

In 2008 Egypt won the Africa Tournament for the 6th time by beating Cameroon 1-0 in the final, thanks to a winning goal by Aboutrika!

Will you manage to win the title with Samuel Eto'o's Cameroon? Or do you pick Michael Essien's Ghana or Yaya Touré's Ivory Coast?

Play the temporarily available Africa 2008 Tournament now and win the title!

@koningco This change on engines was on test until a few days ago, reason why we didn't answered to your question. Users would change their behaviour if they knew it and results of the test would have been influenced.

Due to the positive results it was implemented yesterday on ALL servers/leagues.

It's not doable to set restrictions before/after sims, because since we've sims at different times, it will be a complete mess and we'll have to slide transfer windows to late night again...

My advise is that when users log for the last time before sims, they remove all players that are on line up from TL and on first login after sims, set them on TL again

GB sometimes forgets that most users have 4 teams, it takes some to to remove and add players again every day. For me the old system was better, this new system is less user friendly!

@SpecialOne can you post more details here, like the minimum time between 2 workers and what the possible transfer times are now (like 7 AM - 11 PM CET)?

Other managers: please feel free to post your opinion about this game update and possible transfers just minutes before match time.

@koningco another great move from gb. Now if we want obtaist max impact from transfers, we have to maintain bigger squads. For me its not so bad, only a little more anxiety, but as far as I know, the mobile gaming market in for example Brazil is incredibly developed, and this puts them in an extremely disadvantageous conditions
but I won't be surprised if they remove the early servers too
sooner or later it will come to them that the ultimate optimization would be to abandon users in principle

Majstor Matt

@wenger-wise Yeah, another brilliant move. I wonder how will competitions work now when league opener is in time zone that is very different to Europe. That will probably mean that European users in that league will have no chance to keep up with transfers...

Same thing will happen to South American users joining European league opener leagues...

From my point of view, the logic in all these GB moves is to simply kill all possible competitions and competitive leagues and mantain the game by having noob users that wont leave too soon because game is too hard. Simplification in order to try and keep new users as ling as possible. Sad, really sad.

@majstor-matt as i understood american users (USA, Brazil, Argentina...) will always have a weakness in that

Well this isn't good news for users living in Asia. Most users will be asleep and set their teams few hours early before the sim and check their result few hours after especially when they play in European and South american servers. Definitely a disadvantage. Sometimes I wonder why try to fix something which isn't broken when the old system of having fixed time simulations with the 2 hours gap was convenient.
