Some new updates http://us.ibasketmanager.com/foros/hilo.php?id=15092 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 16:18:07 +0200
VISIBLE FORECAST

Hello,

Lately we have been detecting some doubts about players’ signings, especially regarding junior players -knowing or not- the forecast of the player-.

We announce that from now on, we will apply the following rule:

- The transfer agreement of a player with the forecast made will be assessed as if the buyer has been informed about the forecast, so the buyer has got the player taking into account the market price. If the seller does not want to say the player forecast, he will be in his lawful right to do so. The buyer will abide by the consequences of the offer because the sale will be assessed as if the forecast is known.

We have implemented a new feature to enforce this rule: in the player profile you will find a new icon that will appear when the player has the forecast already made. The icon -with chart form- will be visible next to the name of the player.

EXPERIENCE POINTS

A message will be sent to managers reaching 8,000 points of experience that can start negotiating the transfer agreements, in order to give them information about the market and forecasts. What we want is that new users know the features of the players they have in the roster.

CONTACT

We decide to create a new tool to make easier the contact with our costumer service –info@ibasketmanager.com- and help you with any question you may have. We have incorporated a contact button at the bottom of the page, next to conditions. You can search in the help if you have any questions or if you prefer you can send us an email via the contact form.]]>

Game opening http://us.ibasketmanager.com/foros/hilo.php?id=14778 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 13:14:17 +0200
We would like to inform you about the erros we encountered at the beginning of this new season:

- Juniors in temporal promotion whose mental average has not increased. We are trying to solve this issue at our end, and it will automatically increase the mental average of these players. No need to send us more e-mails about this, we are aware of what's going on, and we are working on it.

- We are double-checking the x2 multiplier of the end-of-season sponsor and tv bonuses, and the weekly expenses of staff. Expect more news about this pretty soon.

- Staff masters that finish when the game was closed have not taken effect. We expect to solve this today.

- Automatic training of users with pack manager has not worked tonight. We expect to process all of them today as well.

- There are juniors that were temporary promoted 2 times last season, that are not allowed to promote temporary again, we are checking this issue right now.

We apologise for the inconvience, please bear with us!]]>
Arena planner http://us.ibasketmanager.com/foros/hilo.php?id=14726 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 16:38:35 +0200
You can access it at Arena-->Management-->Planner

In this page you can check how well are you upgrading your arena. You can check which type of seats you need the most, also you will know if you have more seats than needed from a certain type...
In general, you will get some advice about how to upgrade your arena.
But most important, if we have a wrong distribution of seats ( e.g a lot more of pro seats than needed ), the planner will make you a proposal about how the seats should be distributed. ( It's the only way to reduce a certain type of seats in your arena ). Accepting this proposal will modify your arena instantly to what the planner proposes.

Checking the planner has a cost of 50 golden balls, and lasts 3 months. It's free for pack manager users.
Accepting the proposal of the planner has a cost of 250 golden balls, and include a price ticket optimization.

We hope you like this improvement.

Regards.

PD- The button "Optimize" on the arena screen is temporarily disabled, we inform you when it is available again.

Shedule and Updates 9th Season http://us.ibasketmanager.com/foros/hilo.php?id=14682 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 13:18:51 +0200
- 9th season finishes on Sunday 1st April 2012.
- The game is going to be closed on next Monday 2nd in order to generate the new season and fix the updates (promotions, relegations, starting new simulator version)
- IBM will run normally again on Wednesday 5th or Thursday 6th.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE!: From now on the AUCTION MARKET WILL NOT BE CLOSED. We earnestly advise you not to put your players up for auction for 0 Euros from now until the closing game.
If a manager decides to do it and the game is closed before the end of the auction, the manager will do it under his entire responsibility.

First games of 9th season will take place:
- During the weekend (07-04-12/08-04-12) private leagues can be played. Once the game is opened again you can join the private league you want to.
- The regular league of ninth season is going to start on Monday morning, 9th April.

When starting the new season, remember these 3 rules:
1- Free players (without contract) may be signed via the Scout and General Manager as usual.
2- Players without team will disappear after 10 days.
3- All the players will have 3 days of hostile clause protection, so you can resign without problem. The hostile clause protection will last 3 days and will end on Wednesday 11th midnight, so the “hostile clause market” will be opened at 00.00 Wednesday 12th midnight.


UPDATES 9TH SEASON

STATISTICS SEPARATED BY SECTIONS ON PLAYER PROFILE

We will see the whole statistic information about our players this time separated by league, Private League, Cup and friendlies.

ALL-STAR MATCHES DURING WHITE WEEK

From this season on only regular season games count to determine the players selected to the All-Star in your group and division. As you know the All-Star takes place after the first phase of regular league where your team plays a total of 18 games. Thus the minimum number of matches, your players have to play to score correctly in the All-Star, will be 10 matches.

ADJUSTMENT OF INTERNAL USER PARAMETERS:

We adjusted some calculations affecting several user parameters in certain aspects of the game, for example, in promotions and relegations, game incomes, supporters etc.

REVIEW OF TICKET PRICING

We have substantially revised the current ticket pricing, providing a wider margin to set prices. Now, if you increase drastically prices, you will have more possibilities to get public in your arena than before, but to get the best possible ticket incomes we still recommend you to use the button "OPTIMIZE".

You will see the number of partners close to the audience of each game you play at home.

SUSPENDED GAMES

Regarding suspended matches: We decided to change the current system. Before when a team did not fulfill conditions to play a match, I means, the opponent did not have a complete five line-up; in those cases, the game was suspended and you won always for 50-0 to order to maintain the points in the board. You did not get any ticket incomes because the game was not played. From now on you will earn money even when the game is suspended.

Games suspended mid-game because the other team is left with less than 5 players on the court will have a score of 50-0 (to maintain the average) instead of the current 20-0.

We decide to set this score and not keep the real result of the game at the time the game was suspended to avoid the team with less than 5 players to win.

ACTIVATE/DEACTIVATE BUTTON IN ADVANCED TACTICS

You will have a button in advanced tactic section to active or deactivate the tactic.


SIMULATOR

We adjust a little the level of success in shooting in games by dropping the current percentages. The energy will also affect more than now the game simulation.


MINOR UPDATES:

- In SHORTLIST section, it will appear an icon indicating the state of the player, for example, if the player is on auction.
- Before temporal promotion of a junior, it will appear a message asking you if you want to proceed or not. You must confirm or cancel the promotion.
- Fixed the wallpaper with skins.
- The button “similar purchases” will be available on more sections.
- We inform you that the bug regarding games with 0-0 score has been fixed.
- New chat room called “CHALLENGES”, where you can find other managers to arrange friendlies or private leagues quickly and easily.



MOBILE VERSION UPDATES

- Now the system will take the correct amount you put in auctions. You can also view the screen of bids.
- You will be able to change the order of your Advanced tactics and activate or deactivate them.
- Button "Exit" in the sidebar
- Button "Full Site" in the sidebar.
- The Player profile has been reviewed and modified.]]>

Last round of Play-offs http://us.ibasketmanager.com/foros/hilo.php?id=14571 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 13:11:52 +0100
Hello,

The last round of playoffs for all teams in the game has been created. Have a look at your calendar and check that everything is correct!

Good luck to all you who have a lot at stake with this last heat, especially those teams which play to stay on the current division and avoid relegation.

Congratulations to all the managers who have already won promotion!

Those teams, which have already relegated, will also play a playoff -while not affect their current position- in order to get some extra money!

Greetings

New systems for purchasing Golden balls: Ultimate Pay and Paysafecard http://us.ibasketmanager.com/foros/hilo.php?id=14382 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 15:45:29 +0100
Hello!

You can now find two new systems available for purchasing Golden balls: Paysafecard and Ultimate Pay.

Ultimate Pay allows you to choose the payment option that best suits your needs, whether you fund the transfer with your bank account or a credit card.

Paysafecard is an electronic payment method based on a pre-pay system. Paysafecards are mostly available at post office, newsagents, petrol stations or kiosks. When paying you have to enter the 16 digit number and the amount tendered is deducted from de paysafecard balance.

You will find both methods in the section "Golden Balls" on the bottom-right part of the main screen of the game.

Regards

New playoffs http://us.ibasketmanager.com/foros/hilo.php?id=14307 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 14:56:35 +0100
We remind you that:

- At the promotion playoffs, all the heat rounds are played to determinate the position from 1st to 8. There will be a match for the 3rd and 4th positions and the 7th and 8th positions even if they do not appear now in the screen.
- At the relegation playoffs, firstly we have a regular league with 10 matches and after there will be a playoff heat round between the 8 best teams. The last 2 teams of every regular league in relegation of each group, plus the 4 teams that will lose their heat round, they will lose the play-offs series.
Now you can see the teams that would be directly relegated and those which will play this heat round in order to not be relegated. Obviously this is for guidance only, and then it will be updated after regular league games!
Greetings]]>
FINAL CALLED-UP PLAYERS IN ALL-STAR http://us.ibasketmanager.com/foros/hilo.php?id=14272 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 16:35:07 +0100
From now on you can find the final called-up players in the screen “All-Star” with the last match played on Friday according to the rules.

- Remember that on Wednesday 22 February it will be played the All-Star game with the best NO STAR players of each GROUP from each division.
- On Friday February 24 it will be played an All-Star game with the best players including star players from each division.
- You can see the game schedule of your group and division by clicking on the button GAME. Matches will be played with some tactics and automatic changes.

Congratulations to the managers of the selected players and good luck to all these players!]]>
New rules http://us.ibasketmanager.com/foros/hilo.php?id=14253 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 17:08:17 +0100
- JUNIOR DIRECT PURCHASE:

We decided to remove the direct purchase tool for junior players because this tool has become more widespread in the game as a form of cheating.

Some users took advantage of direct purchase in order to make off-market transfers of junior players that fiscals couldn’t prove 100%.

For this reason we have been forced to remove this tool.

While we know there are players respecting rules, we notice that there those who choose not to. We do not like removing options of the game but sometimes we have no choice.

- FALSE FORECAST:

Another issue that is affecting some users when buying and selling players is to lie in the forecast of the players. We want to avoid users to lie about players’ forecasts in order to take advantage.

From now on, we ask you to pay attention and consider some aspects before signing up:

- Player Nickname:
Not all the nicknames of the players, John "forecast 78" Sanchez for example, are real.

You must always ask the manager to show you the forecast. That costs 10 golden balls. If the seller does not want to show you the forecast there must be some suspicious reason.

We do not penalize the managers using a false nickname unless the manager becomes very recidivist.

- Proof :
If the seller lies first in one about the forecast and you can provide some proofs (chat conversation or private mail), the seller will get a fine at least 5M depending on the benefits of the operation. If this is the second time that seller lies directly he will be expelled without previous notification.

We hope you understand the 2 measures we implemented to improve peaceful coexistence in the game.

Greetings.

PD-We will post soon an update announcing the called-up players in the screen “All-Star”]]>
