Title: Rocking Soccer
Post by: davo on August 31, 2013, 05:17:38 AM
Has anyone tried this game out?

Hopefully we are not living in Afghanistan so talking about other games is not a breach of any rules.

I started a team up a couple of days ago and it seems like it is worth a shot. Obviously I will still be playing SL as it is a very different style of game. If anyone wants to join, click on this link.

It appears to be more about building up your infrastructure and buying/selling/training players than SLs Rock/Paper/Scissors/Lizard/Spock method.

So a bit like SL but with proper transfers and finances?  Sounds good - but what about cost?  Do you buy credits as on here?  Can you earn them in the game?
Title: Re: Rocking Soccer
Post by: davo on August 31, 2013, 10:40:27 AM
You buy VIP membership for a couple of months at a go, which increases the rate at which you can train and gives you a few credits that you need to "make" new players. It seems fairly easy to play it for free to start with, and maybe forever.

Sounds very much like SL2 and you hate that Davo
Title: Re: Rocking Soccer
Post by: davo on August 31, 2013, 12:02:02 PM
yes I do hate SL2. The main reason is that it is not possible to play the game without paying and, quite frankly, it is just a tarted up version of SL1 with better training and a worse class of player on the transfer market.

Rocking Soccer does not have tactics as such and relies only on the squad strength, formation and substitutions. It's a bit more like the old style football manager games.

It seems that the main idea is to gain money, improve the stadium, build other facilities to increase earnings and training speed etc.

Anyway, it's free to join and doesn't look overly time consuming. It's something to do while CG sort their lives out.

You don't seem to have a team though mate.

For anyone interested, the game is in a season break at the moment and the new season starts in 7 days. Would be a good time to check it out.

Hints for the new players based on the issues that I have had:

----------------------

When you build a Youth Centre, do not promote all your new players to the reserve team, because when you are working through the guide you will get stuck on this and have to wait a week until a new youth player is created:

Guide 11 of 15: Bright prospect Once your youth center is completed, a number of young players will be available for you to review. You can find the new players in the youth center under the tab "players".

----------------------

Don't get too excited about saving money for a bigger stadium because you need to get attendances of over 400 in 4/5 of your previous home games before you are allowed to upgrade.

----------------------

If you stuff it up, quit your team and start a new one. I have just quit and restarted (my tip is to select an "Old" team) It reckons you can pick the team you want to take over but I couldn't work out how to do it.

The other 4 all have team names, but yours....nothing.

Basically, just work your way through the Guide. I restarted today so I am in the process of building a scout's office. I skipped the "Guide 3 of 15" where you have to watch a game because I cannot be arsed waiting until my next scheduled match that I can be online for (tuesday night).

There is something about "selling tickets" to your friends to increase attendance - and as we all need to up the crowds to make it so we can upgrade our grounds, I suggest we consider it.

Shame that you are only allowed one user, otherwise I'd start an English one - I guess I might end up switching over in a few days if enough people think that the game seems worth it.

One final tip that I have:

When you have a training complex, save your XP to build up the most relevant thing (i.e. Blocking for Keepers, Duelling for Defenders, Passing for MF and Scoring for STR). The first time I did my team I just hammered through everything without knowing what was going on.

Read the Help - unlike SL it is very good ;)

My team is somewhat stronger than yours mate, so I am not reading a huge amount into it - but it was nice to beat you :)

XP = (your player's Talent) x (Training effectiveness [from training complex])

So, if your player has a talent of 2 and you have a level 1 training complex, he will get 12*2=24 points per day.

Post by: davo on September 01, 2013, 11:59:34 PM
Does anyone have any idea what the numbers on the players mean when you are setting up the team (decide line-up)?

Each player in the formation, and each substitute has numbers like 7/0, 4/0, 0/0, 6/7, 4/3 ....etc

I think you might be right mate. After my 6-0 flogging by Collinwood Magpies, the first number has gone up on all the players but the 2nd number remains the same.
Title: Re: Rocking Soccer
Post by: davo on September 02, 2013, 02:06:50 PM
I don't know whether this is a wise move, but I am trying to sell some of my better older players. It will make my team quite a lot weaker but hopefully it will fund some building works that will hasten the training and make the rest of my team better. It will also cut my hefty wages bill.

I did that the first time, but I stuffed up by promoting all my youth players before the guide told me to do it and I couldn't be arsed waiting a week for a new player to arrive before progressing to the next level. Now I am stuck on waiting to get some money to upgrade my youth centre.....

Great move Brad. Took over a really good team there. Classic.

Everyone should have joined the Aussie League rather than battle it out in the English division. I tried to pick a better team - the help says you can, but I couldn't work out how to do it. It was nowhere near as good as that one though...

Title: Re: Rocking Soccer
Post by: davo on September 03, 2013, 12:40:00 PM
You go to "account" and then "leave club", then pick a new one.....or so the help says. When I tried it, I only had the option of creating a new club or getting an old club - not pick the one I wanted.

I wouldn't recommend it though. If you decide to go to an english club, wait until you get your stadium to level 3 and you will be able to choose 3 of you best players to take with you (this also may be the point that you can pick your own botteam owned club (maybe the "help section is just a bit badly worded on this).

It probably makes a great deal of sense to start off in a smaller league structure. If there are a lot of SL players in the English league by the time I have upgraded a lot I might move over there for the competition.

Agreed - it's a symptom of our exasperation and catgames' apathy.  I would never have considered talking about other games until the seemingly constant rollbacks began to erode my patience.
Title: Re: Rocking Soccer

The old catgames server did not allow it, but there is nothing to disallow it in here. Of course CG may decide to delete the thread but I think that would be unwise.

SL is more than just a game, it is a community of people who have been playing the game for, in my case, 10 years.

I don't intend giving up playing SL and neither, I imagine, do any of the other players that also have a team on Rocking Soccer.

I am not sure that "General" was the best forum to post this thread in, and "Football Competitions" would have been more appropriate - but as people only ever seem to post in "General" I figured it'd just get ignored.

I must admit I did contemplate locking the thread at 1st but in the end I thought I'd leave it to an admin to decide its fate!
I don't see much harm in it as I'm sure most of us play multiple online games anyway, we just don't usually advertise the fact

Title: Re: Rocking Soccer
Post by: davo on September 04, 2013, 11:45:20 AM
I didn't see it as a dig at anyone.

I initially started the thread off saying that I hope it wouldn't be classed as breaking the rules as I know it was back on the old CG server forum (and would have been closed down in a heartbeat by the likes of Anfield7).

There is nothing in any sticky about it, which may or may not be an oversight - but really it is Terry's call.

I don't think there is any harm in discussing other games on here as it is not going to have an effect on this game. All of us who are mad enough to still put up with the fragile server and the idiosyncrasies of the match engine will probably be here until CG flick the switch.

The forums are getting a bit quiet on here and this has, at least, generated a bit of interest amongst a few. It has also shown up Brads and Stato as wannabe Aussies :) I think it's a bit late for the ten pound pom scheme - but they can maybe go to Indonesia and get themselves on a leaky boat.

Another point of view is that whilst we are on this server, we feel much more affiliated to SL. If this thread got closed down we would end up having to set up a thread on the other game and spend more time over there.

Over time we may also be able to encourage people from Rocking Soccer to come over here - so it's a bit of a two way street.

anybody who has a home game first up needs to go to:

Facilities ->
Stadium ->
matches

and click on the "sell tickets" link...

then they need to tell us what the hell it does. We all (if possible) need to buy tickets of each other so that our popularity increases (or that is what I gather)

If you've got a team press account below that it will say quit club after that top left it says join club answer the 3 questions

I'm starting way down the bottom of the English league,

I'll stay until I've learned the game  :) :) :)

I've got a stadium, 500 capacity  :), training complex level 2, scouts hut  :), only got about 70k in the bank but got a loan player in with 3 stars  :D :D

Sold 10 tickets for my next match..... ;D ;D ;D

beat stato 2-1 in a friendly  :) :) :), and I scored both goals, my big test comes on Friday when the league starts, I'm away to a Bot team.

I created 2 players myself with my credits, and named my top player after myself..... :D :D :D

I can see it being an addictive game, nice to have something else in the locker to play, but will always be playing SL1 whilst it's around!!!

I don't think my stadium's been finished long and I'm building the training camp now (or whatever it's called) so I can't seem to 'get in' to see what I can do with it. Currently trying to find out how I can improve my squad as most seem to be getting on a bit (?) so I'm going to have a look at the transfer market and see if I can suss that out. :)

I presume popularity is gained from friendlies and matches? I've got a friendly arranged already. Will add a few more of you (feel free to add me if you want :)) and send out some friendly challenges. I'll get the hang of it eventually I'm sure. :D

I went through everybodys leagues and bookmarked them, bought tickets to all the home matches.....

and then I found out if you click on:

World ->
matches ->
fixtures

it lists all the up and coming fixtures for your friends and you can do it on there.......

d'oh


It seemed to give everyone an extra 145 fans (well increases popularity by that - whatever that means), so if this is a constant thing, and we all do it for all matches we should have a huge following in no time.

No mate. 18 hours to go.

Just been formulating my plan on what to do next....

I can't upgrade my stadium until at least next Saturday after we play - and that is assuming I get high enough attendances.

I'm thinking the next thing is therefore to build a health centre to level 2 (I don't know whether this will have an effect on my currently injured players or only ones injured after that). This will only take a day.

I think after that I might have to upgrade my training facility to level 3 because that is relatively cheap, but I might be better off with a further upgraded Youth Centre - as I have a really bad squad now after selling anyone that people were willing to buy (I figured that it is better in the long run to upgrade and struggle rather than try and win games). I've got 670K to spend - not a fortune, but at least I am not overdrawn  :P

I'll let you know when my first level 3 youth player turns up though - I don't know whether players turn up at regular intervals or just whenever they feel like it...

Thank you kindly for that turkey. Yes, I didn't think it was. Strange really. I posted my link for tickets in the forum (there's a special thread for it if you haven't found it by now) and managed to sell another 50 tickets (5 users) but I've STILL got another 400 to sell to get full up in my stadium. I don't have sufficient money to buy a new stadium so I'm really struggling financially at the moment but I'll keep going and see what happens. Building a clinic now to try to reduce injuries and give my team more stamina or whaterver it does. :)

So if you haven't yet bought any tickets for my first game, PLEASE do so (link provided in earlier post) and any links posted, I will reciprocate. Thanks.  :P

And the under 21s you get 450 Ex for every game they play every 3 days you will play against 2 random opponents these matches count towards the 20 your allowed to get Experience for so if their good enough for your first team don't play them in these.

There also 7 aside games and you can use 6 subs

Hi m8 you can only sell 100 tickets per match which is 10 people have you bought a ticket for your own match this is allowed

Stato

Oh yeah I did. I didn't realise I could only sell 100 tickets per match though. I suppose I need the supporter centre or whatever it is to get more fans/income, which I desperately need at the moment I think.

I stayed up to watch my 03.12am game this morning (although in reality it seems to be playing in Ozzie time so I didn't get the "watch your match live" result I was expecting) and I couldn't believe they scored with about 5 or 6 minutes to go, if memory serves. A draw or even a win for me would have been a MUCH better result for me. I think I need to try to get a better understanding on this training malarky. At the moment it's still all double Dutch to me, although I'm probably doing it right but I wasn't a happy bunny loosing a game I thought a draw would have been the worst I could have hoped for. Oh well never mind. :)

I haven't worked out whether there is any advantage to playing specific formations against others, or the main strategy is to get a better team than the other bloke and hope for the best. I'm thinking the latter. I think it's more about management than strategy - time will tell I suppose.

Post by: Mancunian_Nick on September 12, 2013, 02:25:51 AM
Sorry guys, no wish to sound as if I'm trying to teach granny to suck eggs (as they say) but I've been selling out all my home games so far. I just post my ticket link into the forum - there's a thread there for that, but I make it clear in my 'text' that I will reciprocate anyone who buys mine providing they still have tickets to sell when I get there. What happens is you then get messages from everyone in your inbox showing who has bought your tickets with a little green box you can click on to take you straight to their ticket place where, if they still have them, you just click on buy ticket and voila! :)

Maybe I've just been lucky but my popularity is going up steadily since I've started doing this. As far as 'our lot' are concerned, all you need to do is send me your ticket link, preferably by the game's message thingy, and I'll sort it right away. I check several times a day at the moment. :)

Finally, for now, pfckick and davo, I'll go take a look at your games in a moment and buy any which need buying but you might find the above helpful. :P
Title: Re: Rocking Soccer
Post by: davo on September 12, 2013, 08:18:31 AM
I have been doing this some of the time, but you can do this 3 days in advance so I also check on world->matches->fixtures to buy a ticket for friends as they only appear here 24 hours before. This way if people go on to the forum, they get tickets sold. It is better to get new people to do it because you get more fans, but it's a good safety net.

So am I! ... Well got about 30k left. The guide is telling me that because I missed buying a scouting thing, even though it never suggested it yet, I have to buy a player but of course there are none available in this price range so probably need to wait for the transfer window but fortunately I have a few home games coming up, including my next cup game, which will hopefully get me some more $$$ and I have 41 or 42 of those coin credit things so once that gets to 100, I intend to create my 2nd player - Nick Beckham is doing very well for me at the moment.  :D

Hi m8 its 150 credits you need to create a player sand you should already have a scouting office as you need one to create a player

I've just under $50000 and need to upgrade the stadium next I get about $9000 a day profit + about $6000 for a home game so I reckon it will take me about 25 days to get the money unless I sell some players in the next transfer window or change my credits for cash

You can sack some of your old players that earn a lot of money.....or wait a week and try and sell them when the transfer market opens...other than that it is just a waiting game. You are looking at earning about $14K per point in TV-revenue by the end of the season, which will (on current form) probably be about $800K-$850K but that won't be for over a month. In that time, at 6K profit per day and $6K per home match, you should have amassed another $300K. With any transfer fees you can get, you should be coining it in by the start of next season.

All my buildings are level 1 except my training complex which I'm waiting to finish level 3 (4?) tomorrow then I'm going to make another player. didn't realise it was 150 as when I did it for the guide thing, it was only 100.

BTW Just played my cup match - watched live. It was 1-1 after full time. Went to extra time and still 1-1 so it went to penalties. 3 each then one of my players missed and I lost 5-4. :(

Still considering I'm 3.1 and he was 1, I thought it was pretty good all things considered and he could substitute (which I can't yet) and his players were MILES better than mine etc so all in all pretty gutted right now. :(

Yeah thanks, Stato. Just found that 'facility' when setting up my team a few minutes ago. Seems a bit complicated though. Doesn't seem an option for "if injured" which is a bit surprising, although I know it tends to sub those automatically. Am I right that the first sub to be used in that situation is the top one or is that random?

Don't know Karl. I have money problems too at the moment. Need to buy a player for the last part of the current guide I'm doing (been waiting a week or two for the new transfer window to open) plus need to upgrade my stadium (325k I think) to level 2. I think I can do nothing really until the end of the season and hope to get as much tv money as I can, although having now slipped into 6th place being beaten 1-0 again after 2 players were booked inside the first 17 minutes!  >:( it's not going to be as much I thought or hoped and certainly won't be enough for me to upgrade my stadium, which I'm sure I can fill because all my home matches are sell outs at the moment but of course I only got room in there for 500 so bit of a waste really. So that's why I'm thinking of selling off my lower but younger team as well. Problem is leaving myself short. I already sacked about 4 or 5 of the rubbish in my reserve team earlier in the season to try to reduce my wages bill and try to increase my earnings. It did that slightly but not enough unfortunately. Oh well, just have to see how the transfers go and hope I can raise enough for the stadium, but that's going to mean not being able to strengthen my team very much, if at all. :(

Still enjoying the game though even though it is very frustrating.  :-*

I have the same issue mate and I'm gonna try and offload them in the window!
It might cost some results in the back end of the season but if the money can increase my stadium and improve my youth centre to maybe level 4/5 then I think it'll be a worthwhile move.

Level 2 Catering $82K

(This adds up to a total of $1.4m)

By this point, assuming you sell the tickets and get yourself a full house of 4000 for every home match, you will make a profit of 106K per home match (an average of about $37,000 per day = $1.2m per season)

With TV revenue and hopefully offloading some players, I reckon this will be easily achievable by the end of the next season (mid december).

Great advice, Davo. Thanks a lot!  :)

BTW is there really nobody else who wants to try this game? Very different in some respects to Sunday League and as others have said, takes a bit of getting used to but it's a really good game I think and I will work through my frustrations and be pleased when I can see some light at the end of the tunnel so why not join us and have some fun?  :P

Just follow this link and take a look - you know you want to, go on!!  ;D

My plan is to keep my first 11 players and all of my youth team then try and sell the rest hopefully some bot teams will buy them.

I can't see me having enough money to upgrade my stadium so will probably go Level 4 training

Then I'm hoping at the end of the season to get $1 Million + from my TV revenue nearly half way there and will upgrade

Stadium level 2 $317000
Fan Shop 1&2 $93000
Youth level 4 $323000
Health Centre $201000
Scout Office    $162000

=$1,086,000

Don't know if I want promotion as well will definetly struggle in League 1 so might stop in League 2

I take it your not selling your striker Brads Harry Stricklin 23 goals in 16 games my whole teams only scored 28 and I've just sold my top striker to build my new stadium luckily his replacement scored to go joint top of the league

Bought this young player as well for $61000

I'm desperately trying to sell most of my salary hogging best players.....but like most of the last transfer window, I'm not having much luck. I don't think I can do much worse with my less experienced players  - so if I can't sell any of them I might end up just sacking them. If I can't sell them in 2 transfer windows then I probably never will. Getting $15K per day off the payroll (for my oldest 6 players) until the end of the season would bring in more money than the dollars I will lose for dropped points.

Welcome. :)

Feel free to add me if you like. I'm in 3.1 Australian league. I'm building up my money at the moment (slow job) to upgrade my stadium. Not enough cash to buy players or upgrade my health centre so struggling with injuries a bit atm or players suspended etc. Not that many but running a basic team to keep wages low - that was the theory at the time but not good strategy I don't think.

Talk about jammy git!! :( Some GREAT players in that team - currently sits top with 45 points. 2nd place has 40 and then 3rd (the team who beat me) 35 (Wollongong). Sheesh can't believe some peoples' luck and not fair really, although luck of the Irish is probably part and parcel of the game but to be honest I'm feeling rather pig-sick right now. :(

There's not much in it between 2 and 6. I think we will all struggle against the 9th placed team anyway.

I had a fantastic result today.  :-[ I set my tactics to bring on a couple of junior players to increase training on them if I was losing at half time. 85 mins with 10 men was probably never going to get me any points away from home - especially as my scout told me I was definitely going to lose.

Looking forward to the end of the season and getting the TV revenue, upgrading the stadium and hopefully getting a bit of transfer activity going.

I must say that I'm totally hooked on Rocking Soccer,

look forward to seeing my little men run around the pitch each day  ;D ;D ;D

I'm glad I started at the bottom with a young squad, I created 4 players, and sold one  ;D ;D

I have 3 decent players on a season long loan, got an under 21 squad, now level 4 training complex, and like above, look forward to promotion and the TV revenue coming in.  :) :)

I've now got a grip on training, and like the fact you can develop a right sided player to play left or centre, I've started to save the experience points so that I can train a players main skill, i.e. passing, shooting.

The only thing I cant yet do is copy to Excel, there is a csv file download but the information is comma delimited, so useless for adding up totals for players increase in skills each week, etc.

Really hooked, so thanks to the man that sent the link

Hi Brads. Actually I have - twice in fact. Soon after starting (week or two I think if memory serves me right) I bought 4 VIP tickets. I used one give myself 2 star and 2 to extend then 1 for some credits, which I used at the time to create a new player (Nick Beckham! :D). And I'm almost ashamed to admit that I went doolally the other day and bought TWELVE VIP tickets for 46 Euros (a few pennies over £40!) which I used to upgrade to 3 star VIP (as you got credits for each 2 month extension)  and then extended to June next year! :)  I wanted to get 150 credits so I could buy those almost 500k credits to upgrade my stadium so that I've done and with the 4 credits a day I'm hopefully getting, I can then save up to create my 4th Player. I created 2 midfielders and a defender so far, after getting some sound advice from the forum and I have to say I'm hooked now too! :D I'm now in the process of upgrading my health centre to level 2 and when that's done early tomorrow sometime, I aim to start building the fan shop. After that I'm not quite sure what I should do for the best but at least I now have a fairly reasonable wadge of cash and expecting more on Wednesday when the current season ends - or at least I think that's when it ends? Then hopefully buy another 2 or 3 decent players - or may decide to leave that and build the youth centre instead? Not decided on that yet. Some of the times it takes to upgrade these things seems rather bizarre - nearly 2 weeks to upgrade a stadium from level 2 to 3 plus just under 900k. Sheesh someone's doing very nicely thank you. Trust these Ozzie builders or whover they are! :D  ;D

As for not wanting to pay by banker's draft, why not do what I do and pay via Paypal? If you don't have a Paypal account, I believe there's also a credit/debit card option as well?!

Anyway time to get on with something else now. At least I don't have a game until tomorrow and yes the Ozzie times have REALLY been confusing me as well but I worked out the time difference and used 3 credits to change my home game times to around the same time as SL usually kicks off the division games (not that it helped me last night as I dozed off before setting up but I'm sure my opponent was grinning this morning after discovering he won 6-1 (Leeds Legends if memory serves) ... whoever he may be!  :P

 :o it should only take 3.6 days to upgrade from level 2 to level 3 stadium. If you have the required attendances and the cash you should definitely do this - although I would wait until day 1 of next season otherwise you will just be spending unnecessary money on maintenance.

You should also get level 2 fan shop and, after getting level 3 stadium, get level 1 catering.

With a level 2 stadium and level 1 fan shop. you will get a maximum of $23,750 for a full house (that you get a bonus for attending)
With a level 3 stadium, level 2 fan shop and level 1 catering you will get $106,822

Over a season, that brings you in an additional $1.1m (taking into account the additional maintenance costs)

The youth centre is well worth having - even at level 3 that I have, it gives you some reasonable players. In addition, you need it to start an U21 squad and create players for that squad. The benefit of this is that your U21 players will then be able to play in U21 matches, getting 450 XP points for up to 20 games per season (9000 in total). You should easily be able to train them up to an acceptable level in a couple of seasons.

I'm a bit dubious about the merits of increased scouting, as I have tried scouting several areas to no huge benefit so I will probably leave that for a while.

I am currently on:

Stadium (http://rockingsoccer.com/en/soccer/facilities/stadium)2$ 2 228Active
Training complex (http://rockingsoccer.com/en/soccer/facilities/trainer)3$ 4 608Active
Scout's office (http://rockingsoccer.com/en/soccer/facilities/scout)2$ 750Active
Youth center (http://rockingsoccer.com/en/soccer/facilities/youth)3$ 5 184Active
Health center (http://rockingsoccer.com/en/soccer/facilities/fysio)2$ 1 050Active
Fanshop (http://rockingsoccer.com/en/soccer/facilities/fanshop)2$ 4 995Active
I will be upgrading to level 3 stadium next, then getting catering level 1 and then saving up for level 4 stadium. This will bring me in a profit of about $4m / year - making me financially more stable - and I can then start to hammer the youth centre and training complex.

For the record, I lived in Yorkshire for quite a while when I was younger so I have not bought credits  ;D

and.....like a few others have mentioned, I am fairly hooked on the game. I still prefer the way that matches are played in SL, but the rest of RS beats SL hands down. It is precisely what we wanted and suggested when we were all asked about SL2 - that CG sadly failed to deliver.

Scratch that, there's now a topic in there with it attached in a zip file.

There's the method Davo suggested, or a version thereof, for if you have downloaded the file and are opening it in Excel for the first time. Plus a method for importing data, which is useful if you have a spreadsheet you have already created and want to add newer stats to be able to compare them.

Yes really enjoying it, although still playing pretty much 442 in everything and pretty basic ATs. Not got into the finer nuances of the game yet. I like the credits for creating new players - and happy with the 3 I've done so far (1 defender and 2 midfielders) who are all pretty much playing a blinder at the moment. A week or two ago I was floundering in the relegation zone in 7th place (I think it was) and having just played and won 3-0 again at home, I'm now up to 4th place! Mind you, the others in my division haven't played yet so not cast in stone but pretty amazing run of wins none the less.  :P

I really like the new 'sponsorship' thing to be able to buy money for credits, although you can only do it every 2 months but meant I could update my stadium. First home game in it and filled it again (1500) so once the season ends and we get the TV money, I may update it to level 3. Not sure what the attendance limit is after that. 8,000 isn't it, or is that level 4?

Actually thank you for that insight into developing facilities in the game. Makes a lot of sense and some good info there I didn't know so big thanks for that. Have written it all down for my action plan.  :P

which is probably more appropriate than discussing it on here.

Just created a profile there so see you there. :D

I started at the bottom with nothing, and now clinched the title finally, so starting to get ready for a step up in class,

need to develop my stadium, and make some wise buys, and loans on the transfer market.

Going to get tougher, but really enjoying it, my top striker (me that I created) got Red carded and banned for 3 matches so thought I was going to lose it.

Roll on Rocking Soccer.......should get about £500,000 at the end of the season..Yipeee...mustn't spend it all at once

Cheers

Every time you reanalyse you seem to get a different set of results, besides which it's based on an opponents past games, not what their line up for your match is. So they could spring a surprise.

I'm not bothering with analysis now really. I play my best team and hope. :)

Just played my first home game of the season and my next isn't until Saturday so that's the soonest I can start building my level 3 stadium. Seem to have been waiting  AGES but hey ho. Anyway I think the team I played must have been one of the relegated teams (?) as it was pretty good. I got a great striker on loan but still went a goal down in the 6th minute then another down before half time but came back fighting and drew 2-2. Phew! :)

Didn't buy any players in the transfer market as no really good ones coming up so think I need to upgrade my scout building but the stadium comes first then my  burger van or whatever it is. :P

1st home game of the season I got a 1-1 draw, after having one of my midfielders sent off for 2 yellows and another for a straight red.  :o ??? :(

Left me playing a lopsided 4-2-2 instead of 4-4-2 diamond.

That was not predicted by the analysis of the match.

I now have the following facilities and wondering what to upgrade next? Torn between upgrading my catering van again or possibly health centre or fan shop? Not sure which would be best. Any opinions please?

Stadium lv3
Training complex lv4
Scouts Office, Health Centre, Fanshop, Youth Centre and Catering all level 2.

Thanks for your opinions/suggestions guys (and gals?). :)

Thanks, Stato. You'd go Youth Centre to lv3 then Fan Shop to lv3 before upgrading the catering again then? I'm just trying to maximise my income before hammering the youth centre and training complex as was once mentioned earlier on in here (by you?) that's all.

So what do you think? I'll wait to hear back before I start anything. It will be a while before I upgrade my stadium again - 1.8 million I think it costs. Blimey!  :-\ ::) ;D

Well my currently popularity is 106.260 which I don't think is too bad but can't find out how to see my attendances as my stadium  matches tab shows up empty at the moment despite my having played in the new stadium before.

You've only had 1 game in your new stadium a friendly against Davo and this doesn't show on your stadium tab but you got an attendance of 1773

You have to remember it's not just your popularity that counts for the attendance it's the away team as well and you have 5 Bot teams + a team with only 7000+ fans so your going to struggle to get over 2000 fans per game maybe about 3000 vs Delroy Dogz

Stato
Title: Re: Rocking Soccer
Post by: Mancunian_Nick on November 08, 2013, 02:07:50 AM
Thanks again Stato. Yes I see what you mean. I discovered about not having a home game in the new stadium until a short time ago. I'd forgotten I needed to play twice to get the four 80% attendances then the 3.6 days it took to finish the upgrade. I just got 2100 plus 20% for watching live so I took your advice and started upgrading the fan shop. I'll leave the youth centre until I get more attendance. I can't believe I've just lost a home game against Collinwood, 2 places off the bottom. A bot team who had only got a few points and had been beaten or drawn against almost every game so far then he scores against me in the 6th minute and again a bit later, despite my playing my best team who were doing so well prior to this. I just don't get it but feeling rather 'cheated' at the moment. :( Doesn't make any sense to me at all that one. :(

Oh well dem's da breaks as the saying goes I suppose.

BTW am I right that apart from training up a player's stats, the XP doesn't otherwise affect a player's performance in a game? Usually I train up something after every game. Is this what you do, too? Or would it be better to save up the XP and train the main stat? Only just realised when I looked further that you can do this, although it costs several thousand XP to do it. I guess if I don't, it won't improve very much on its own so better think about upgrading my training centre as well some time to level 3. What do you think, does that sound like a plan? :)
Title: Re: Rocking Soccer
Post by: Stato1 on November 08, 2013, 02:24:29 AM
I normally just train the main stat or sometimes tactics as for upgrading facilities
These are yours

Fanshop   2
Catering   2
Health center   2
Scout's office   2
Stadium   3
Training complex   4
Youth center 2

These are mine

Fanshop   3
Catering   3
Health center   3
Scout's office   2
Stadium   3
Training complex   4
Youth center   4

So the big difference is your youth centre I've nearly completed my Scout to 3 then I'm going to try and get Youth Centre 5 then 6 as you can get lots of good young players for the future

Title: Re: Rocking Soccer

Building type   Level
Fanshop   5

And this is the best team in Australia he will be building his Youth Centre to level 9 next

I'm still playing mate, but found the step up more of a challenge than expected after promotion. I'm gradually improving, but invested most of my money in the infrastructure & facilities, I dont mind if i get relegated, think I'll avoid this, very much enjoying the game and challenge though. Seem to be drawing alot of matches....... :D :D :D

Title: Re: Rocking Soccer

^^^^ seconded. He should have been sold or dumped a long time ago. I only have 2 players that are paid more than $1000/pw and I will be selling them at the end of the season. To be honest, I'd be selling most of that team and buying young, cheap, low paid players that I could train up.

I also definitely recommend signing up for this game - and joining the Australian league is a good way to go. There's 5 SL players spread among Div 2 and 3. Brads is leading Div 2 at the moment, Stato and I are also in the top 4.

My current facility levels are:

Fanshop    2
Catering    1
Health center    2
Scout's office    2
Stadium    3
Training complex    5
Youth center    4

and I have only been playing it since September 1st - and have not bought a credit yet - so it is not that hard to progress quickly in the game
Title: Re: Rocking Soccer
Post by: Stato1 on November 14, 2013, 09:15:13 AM
I know its against the rules but has anyone thought of getting a 2nd team I got one when I tried to get the decent Aussie team .

I moved them to England and got a team in league 2 and built them up to an advanced club when a better team became available in League 2 I took over that one but messed up as I didn't take 3 players with me. So when a League 1 Spanish team became available I took over that one and took them from the relegation zone to the top half of the league

Then I saw a message on the forum about a top manager getting rid of his League 1 Belgium side so I ask if I could have it  after a few messages he said I could so I'm now the manager of Napoleons Nightmare (I said I would keep the team name) and probably have the best squad of players in Belgium .

Now this is not a bragging post it's just let people know this game gets a lot harder if you think you have some tough decisions now wait till later I've just had to fire a 4 star defender. The team also has 10 players out on loan and I will probably be doing the same next season so keep an eye out if your looking at loaning players as there will be a few Million Euro players on the list
Title: Re: Rocking Soccer
Post by: davo on November 14, 2013, 09:40:06 AM
I wouldn't mind having another team. Have you read into it and established that you are not likely to get banned? It suggests that you can get banned if you have "multiple accounts" but maybe this is just something that they say to stop people taking the p*ss and using loads of accounts to create a bidding war for a crap player to transfer money over to your main team.

Post by: Stato1 on November 14, 2013, 11:44:23 AM
I'm guessing as long as you don't interact with the other club or are in the same country they won't even look into it and don't use it to get referrals . Only thing you can't do is buy tickets for the same match as it comes up you can't buy from the same IP address

Title: Re: Rocking Soccer
Post by: deca on November 14, 2013, 05:27:33 PM
I agree with that Brads, it definitely gets tougher, but its a challenge I'm really enjoying,

To be honest, when I get home from work, the game I want to log onto most is Rocking Soccer as opposed to SL1.

I was content to start at the bottom and take a poor team up the divisions, I've got one promotion from division 6 to 5, but looks like I'll have to avoid relegation this season and strengthen my squad.

I know you can take short cuts, but I've no intention of resigning and getting a bigger club. I feel like the Wimbledon of old if anyone can remember, from the old division 4 to Division 1 in straight seasons, although it may take me longer. I've invested so I'll stay with this club.

What's enjoyable are the decisions you can make about how to earn and where to invest finances, infrastructure or players. The tactics are pretty good too, I spend quite a while tinkering with formations but then run out of reports. Its kind of good also facing different challenges, like avoiding relegation, juggling resources, training methods, and the spreadsheet bits for us staticians.

I'll be on the lookout for your loan players brads  ;D ;D ;D

I'ts a pity you can't cancel someones loan though in Rocking Soccer, would also be nice to edit the player names, but the game is growing and enhancements are being added all the time

Whoever (I can't remember now) recommended this game deserves a pat on the back, I think it's brilliant for footy fans like us

I'm addicted to it, which is annoying as I don't have enough spare time lol. The game is quite mobile friendly too, I've been logging on regulalry at work.

A lot of features are very good and you really can play for free and still develop new players, though it's quicker if you buy VIP vouchers.

A shame we're not all in the same division but I don;t really want to move my team at the moment. Hopefully they will eventually implement a facility to create a proper friendly league, even if it's just our under 21 teams (for those who have not played it, you can even have an under 21 team!).

Hi Stato

Yes you're right and I know. I'm now losing money every play day when I'm trying to save to upgrade my stadium again so he's already in the pipeline for the next transfer window. A couple of others also.

Incidently guys, I'm sending U21 friendly challenges and ordinary friendly challenges and only very occasionally is one accepted. I appreciate sometimes we have enough games on a particular day but to save me having to keep doing this and hoping for the best, can you let me know whether or not you are happy to play one or the other (or both) then send me a challenge or let me know and I can do it. For example I'd like to play a friendly AND an U21 friendly today as I have no other matches today now. Also an ordinary friendly on Tuesday. Not bothered what time on Tuesday but I have a league match at 08.23 (uk time) so as long as it's not going to clash with that. I'll check back later. :)

I'm happy to invest in this club and so far, touch wood, things seem to be ok although I have a feeling not going to do as well once/if I move higher up as I still haven't got into the advanced tactics, formations and so on. As I've said before I think, it's tricky knowing what formation(s) to play when you can't tell what formation your OPPONENT is playing or likely to play. I don't even bother using analysis now. So many times it's wrong so can't see the point, although it's possible it works better/more accurately when you are higher in divisions?

I have to admit I *have* bought VIP and credits and used credits to buy cash, although not for a while. The best thing I ever did was buy an excellent goalkeeper from a particular person in here and now I've gone up from  6th or 7th in my division (3.2) to 2nd. Yes still a way to go to the end of the season but I'm pretty chuffed so far. :P Still gutted that the best striker I've had since I started is only on loan and has to go back at the end of this season. I'd buy him for sure if I was given the option but I doubt very much I will be. Oh well.

I always accept Friendlys but sometimes it says it clashes with another game within one hour I think it would be better if you could pick the exact time you want to play them it would be easier

I'm the same with my on loan Striker Dallas he's scored 34 goals for me in the league in 27 matches

Glad that the keeper is working out well for you. It was sad to see him go, but I was more concerned in building for the future than maintaining a good team.

I am now in a position where I will be considering strengthening my team in the close season. I dont have much spare cash at the moment, but I have a full squad and will be trying to sell off 10-15 players (though not being a VIP, it'll have to be 2 at a time). This time, though, I will be trying to get rid mainly of the players that have come through my youth centre or the ones that have just got too old to play U21 games, but I do not see a future for in my squad. I'll be keeping my better players.

Hopefully Nick will be up there in Div 2, and maybe Stato will have moved up a level.

For the record, I will generally always accept a friendly match offer if I see it, but I leave myself logged in with Autorefresh running, so whilst it might look like I am online, I may not be.

I totally agree Stato - I've had that clashes within an hour thing a couple of times myself  so being able to choose what time you want to play them would be good, although of course that still wouldn't necessarily mean it wouldn't clash with whoever you're trying to challenge. :)

Oh well what is it they say? ... Rome wasn't built in a day. I'm building my U21 players which is why I'm keen to play my full quota of U21 games before this season finishes (hopefully) so happy to accept ALL challenges providing I don't already have that particular game type set up  for that particular day already. :)

I totally understand why you sold him and for you it made good sense. I'm also glad you sold him because despite having less stars than the one I had before, he still seems to play a lot better for some reason. Not that I'm complaining. :P

On the one hand I'm hoping to be in the play-offs for Div 2 but at the same time I'm really not sure how well I'll do in higher divisions. As I've said openly and honestly, I still don't really understand playing the best formation - yes I can play to the strengths of my OWN team but no idea what formation my opponent is using, even with analysis it doesn't tell you that. :(   I'm starting to experiment in U21 games and friendlies with things like offensive corners and so on but hard to know which ones it's better to play using the other options rather than normal or default. Oh well the fun of learning a new game I guess. :P

If anyone's looking for friendly games over the next however many days when we don't have other matches/games to play, I'm happy to accept. Easier this way than me sending challenges out as I still find it hard to find opponents to accept. Please remember if the time is within an hour of a fixture you already have, it won't allow me to accept.

Currently pig sick - missed out on playoffs (AGAIN to a damn bot team! :( ) by one blasted point. 3rd isn't too bad I guess for only my 2nd season in the game (2 or 3 months I think) but still gutted not to finish in 2nd. :(

Oh well. Just a thought.

I'm really enjoying Rocking Soccer, damn just missed out on promotion,  :'( :'( :'(

Have invested £500,000 in upgrading the stadium to 4000 capacity, my recogning is that I'll get more income that way for future transfers,

I've experimented with different formations, I got promoted using 4-5-1, but the higher leagues seem to favour 3-5-2, or 4-4-2

Be interested in hearing any other fellow Rocking soccer managers thoughts on formations and tactics, I usually find the selecting short passing gives more possession  :) :)

Now need £300,000 to update my training complex  :) :) :)

Formations I play whatever suits my players at the time this season I played 4-5-1 as I had a very good striker on loan the season b4 4-4-2 as I had two decent strikers .

I normally play Longball if 4-5-1 just to get the ball up as fast as I could to my striker which worked for me if it hadn't I would of experimented till I found something that did

Yes I know but I prefer to play my other players in normal friendlies during the period between seasons to try to improve them ready for next season plus trying to still win (or at least draw) in order not to loose too many supporters/fans. :)

When I play U21 matches, of which there don't seem to be any in the close season, I can play more of my U21s so it suits me. So if anyone DOES want to play U21 specific friendlies until assigned league ones start, I'm happy to accept.  :P
Title: Re: Rocking Soccer
Post by: davo on December 12, 2013, 12:09:25 PM
In a regular friendly with no injuries, you can play 11 players and 3 substitutes = 14 players.
In an U21 friendly with no injuries, you can play 7 players and 6 substitutes = 13 players.

As far as total experience points....

regular ones get 150 credits * 6 games per season * 14 players = 12,600 experience points
U21 ones get 135 credits * 6 games per season * 13 players = 10,530 experience points

So a major advantage of regular friendlies is that you get 2070 more experience points per game (spread throughout the players).
An advantage of the U21 games is that all but one of the players only play 45 mins so fatigue is not as much of an issue.

On the whole I think I would rather play regular friendlies as every player can play in them, but only U21 players play in U21 friendlies.

I generally pick the team for my friendlies based on who has games left, rather than try and pick my best team.


Just a reminder that there is another forum with an increasing amount of RS talk:

http://sundayleague.freeforums.org/index.php

It was originally as a backup for this one in case SL closed down (or if the massive server problems come back) but it seems that the RS talk is the biggest point of it at the moment.

Thanks, Davo. You make some very good points there and depending on which team I'm playing, I tend to do the same as you and pick players who have games left as well but most of the ones I have with those are my U21 players who don't have many stars. To be frank my U21 players, with a couple of exceptions, are pretty rubbish at the moment. :)

I'll keep in touch with the other forum a bit more often also when I can.

How do I get more attendance for my games?  I heard something about sharing link but can't find how you do it as the dots aren't showing next to the game.  I know watching the game yourself helps but I'm not usually around for Aus games as it's late morning GMT  ::)  I've moved my friendly time to 7 am to help with that.

And regarding getting lvl 2 stadium, does the 4/5 400+ attendance rule only apply to home competitive games or do friendlies count?  Not an urgent thing as I'm building YC atm but would be nice to get bigger stadium/attendances ASAP.

Oh, and do you really have to start watching friendlies at least 15 minutes before they start??

On the whole I agree with that. Additional friendlies are good during the season because you can give players games that aren't getting much match time games as well. It would be nice if they eventually set up some kind of dedicated friendly league structure/or private league type feature, even if it's just a cup competition we can compete against each other in during the close season. The best idea might be that the private league/friendly league is an under 21 league.

It's easy to buy tickets from people on your friends list, and I always look and try and buy tickets to support the other Sunday Leaguers on there. With enough of us on there, I don't think we'll have any problems filling our stadiums for games. What league are you in?

Are you talking about to increase attendance at matches or to get the credits. So far, as far as league matches go, as long as I've started watching at some point while the match is live then I've had the attendance boost or received the credit. The same is true of friendlies with regards to the half credit you get.

I've experimented with different formations, I got promoted using 4-5-1, but the higher leagues seem to favour 3-5-2, or 4-4-2

I used the scouting reports to select the most likely win scenario against opponents, by doing a report for each of their most used formations (from the list available. It worked well until the last few games of the season when every bot team seemed to play a formation that was better suited to the one I'd chosen (i.e they didn't use their most common formation). Add that to inuries to key players and I just missed out on automatic promotion and even a place in the play offs, finishing 5th.

Defence appeared to be my weak area, so I've been improving my squad over the close season. May not be finished yet as I lose three decent loan players at midnight tonight, so I may go for a loan player or two.

Training complex finishes upgrading in about a minute (level 4). When I've established the cash, next it will by my stadium to a 4000 capacity, then youth centre will go to level 5.

I've been trying to upgrade my health centre along with training complex as the training complex supposedly increases the chance of injury and the health centre counters that, plus reduces fatigue.

Attendance is based on popularity. You can increase your popularity getting more fans, which you do best by selling tickets (preferably to those who have not bought one before as you get much more fans)

Currently the ticket selling link is http://rockingsoccer.com/en/soccer/forum/home-en/3?topic=11612&posts=39 but they do a new one every season. You post your link there and a short message (minimum 40 words from memory). You can also click on other peoples messages, buy a ticket off them and hope they reciprocate.

When you have a level 3 stadium you can get a Fan Shop, which will help to increase your popularity much quicker.

Only league games count for the 80% rule.

You can start watching a friendly, or any other match, any time before it finishes and get the same benefits as you would if you watched it from the start.

Hi. To get attendances for your games, sell tickets, hopefully selling all 10 spaces and preferably to people who haven't bought any from you before. You get more fans attending for those than those who have bought before and I find the best way is buy copying your ticket link (click on the tickets next to your home games which appear 3 days before they're due as that's the earliest you can start selling them, and going to the forum and clicking on the ticket sales link. You have to write 40 words about the match and post the link. I find I sell out each time. Further you can add to that by watching your games live. Attending at home gives you +20% attendance. Can't remember what you get for away games. MIGHT be just half a credit. Of course having your fan shop helps further with that. Friendlies don't count towards the attendance rule, no, nor do U21 matches, just league ones.  And no you don't have to start watching friendlies 15 minutes before they start. You can watch anytime within about 10 minutes of them starting. You just have to be watching live during play. :)

Hope that helps. Good luck.

Ah, now I get it. The green tick (that you click to set your team up) disappears 15 mins before the game starts, so you can no longer change your tactics. 5 minutes before the game starts, the small white circle with a play button (triangle) symbol appears. You can then click on it to watch the game. In my experience, if you click on it before the game starts it will not show the game. So click on it just after the clock ticks over.....maybe that is just on firefox....

I use Firefox too and you're right up to the point where you say if you click on the play button before the game starts it will not show the game and you have to wait for the game to start. No, you can click on it when you like once it shows up. You should see the players on the pitch and a note at the bottom that says the game will start when whoever kicks off or something like that. Once the server clock hits the start time, just refresh the page or nothing happens. Sometimes you have to refresh twice but usually once is sufficient. Try it next time. :)

If you open your team selection for the match in another tab and leave that tab open, you still have it available after that 15 minute mark has passed. So maybe there is a slight bug that would allow a last minute alteration to tactics/team selection.

I'm not sure if it works or not as I have not tried it yet, probably not as the developers seem to be pretty good at covering things, but I might try it in a friendly. Or has anyone else tried this?

Maybe not in the spirit of the game but when you suddenly discover the bot team that was rubbish now has two superstar strikers on loan and has been flying up the table ...

They must have either changed the league structure, adding more groups within the higher leagues, or rationalised the number of teams in the English league by deleting some of the bot teams. League sizes are based on the number of managers...this must have changed enough to alter the league structure.

at least it didn't go the other way and you ended up two leagues down.

I did notice earlier that the English League had lost level 6 altogether. I think they may have dumped all of the bot teams into lower levels and moved the managed teams up, which is better for competition. Going to make this season tougher, I was looking for another season of consolidation while I built up my facilities. Stadium will be at level 3 by Monday evening. Then I can build my catering facility.

I've also been looking at the graphics for all of the levels of all facilities, I see that there is now a level 11 stadium option now, with a capacity of 200000.

There doesn't seem to be a graphic for this one though. The level 10 stadium looks quite impressive though.

Signed up properly this time. To give this a go. I'm actually really enjoying it so far.

I went for random league etc. and I got stuck in Saudi Arabia. Working my way through the stages and and levels of building stuff. Any help on my team would be much appreciated? Stato? Davo?
I have stuck a few players on the market and improved a few others.

Heres a ticket for my first league game vs what looks like the best team in my given country (gulp)

Borg,

can you log in with your original account? It still seems to exist...and you might have the benefit of getting significantly more sponsorship income.

If you want the team that stato suggests, just either quit your team with you new user, or use your old account to go to:

http://rockingsoccer.com/en/soccer/info/team-4338

and then click on the "apply for this position" or whatever it says.
Title: Re: Rocking Soccer
Post by: davo on December 16, 2013, 07:30:06 AM
....as for playing tips...you need money and to do this, the best way is:

to start off with:

1. Sell as many old and highly paid players as you can before the transfer window closes.
2. Make sure you have enough U21 players to start an U21 squad
3. Buy as many cheap young players with 3+ talent as you can before the transfer window closes.
4. Sack the old and highly paid players that you cannot sell, leaving you a squad that is as small as possible.

(when you get a new team I'll have a look and tell you who I'd get rid of)

then:

1. Concentrate on increasing your stadium to level 2 as quickly as possible.
2. Get Fanshop level 2 as quickly as possible
3. Get Stadium level 3 as quickly as possible
4. Get Catering level 1 as quickly as possible

then, and only then can you contemplate building other facilities and a team - and you might want to work towards.

Join this forum:

http://sundayleague.freeforums.org/index.php

amongst other things you will find a spreadsheet, that will assist you in the decision making process on which facilities to upgrade to and how it will effect your bottom line.
 
I've been playing the game almost 4 months and have the following:

Fanshop2
Catering2
Health center2
Scout's office3
Stadium4
Training complex5
Youth center5


The quicker you build the facilities, the more drain there is on finances and the slower your progress. Once you have a reasonable income it will be a cakewalk.

 :o The season is going to be pretty tough for you then. I've been going all out to build a Howard Wilkinson style get-me-out-of-division-2 team. I'm still hoping to bring in another good striker, but I keep missing out on the loans. Spent $1.5m in new players, recouped $0.5m in sales and so far have spent about $300K on loans with a budget od about $200k on my last one.

Hopefully this will give me a chance of getting up.

Even though you will likely get relegated, you should fill that 8000 seater on most days and will bring in about $5m from tickets/merchandise/catering....about $2m more than you would get in Div 2.

You are probably best off using that money to do the necessary upgrades rather than waste it on players.

Title: Re: Rocking Soccer
Post by: Dragontao on December 16, 2013, 02:49:54 PM
I figure that loan players pay for themselves if they help you pick up extra points in a season. They'll be essential for me due to a step up in league level. Two defenders in, will look to bring in either a midfielder or forward. Cash is a bit short though due to stadium upgrade and I want to build a catering facility.

Made a few moves in the market during the close season. Frustrated a few times though. It's worse than flippin' Ebay. No other bids on a player. Pop back in a bit later and you've been gazumped. Done that myeself a few times now though.  ;D

Nice short term spoinsorship until 21st December, will give me an extra £25000 per match week until then. Hopefully get a decent deal after that as well.

Decided to use the advertise match for credits function as a trial. Sold out my new stadium capacity within 5 minutes of clicking the button. Good way to get a quick boost in popularity.

Monk is currently ranked 39 in England with myself and Deca 50 and 51 respectively.

It's even worse when a load more teams bid for the player and then they extend the deadline to a second round of negotiations. Even though you don't increase your bid and join in the second round of negotiations, you're stuck until the transfer is finally done.

ON another subject, it says there is an increased chance of injury with higher levels of training centres, and I have definitely noticed it in recent friendlies. Anyone else noticed a significant rise in injuries after upgrading the training centre?

Loaned a few aswell but i put too many bids in and i really didnt want to get kateb. Like Brads said. So far my only bad point would be withdrawing bids.

It's perfectly feasible that you have a brother/father living with you who also plays the game.  Therefore same IP address. YOu could even explain away the same person buying V.I.P vouchers for two teams that way "I'm at school, my dad pays for them, I don't have a credit card". Though that might wear a bit thin after a few years of playing the game. ;D

Not that I'll be puttiung a second team anwywhere, the one I have is taking up too much time. It's quite handy that the whole site is very mobile friendly in the android version of firefox/chrome and other browsers I've used.

I'd have to think about a move to Australia, not sure I will as I'm quite happy building up my team in England and wouldn't necessarily want to lose what I've built up if it gets that far. This is where it would be nice if they added a feature for friendly tournaments to take place in the close season. Happens with the real world clubs and Rocking Soccer is a more serious managagement game.
Title: Re: Rocking Soccer

What are your thoughts on the VIP vouchers guys?


I have been reading the benefits of having some. They seem useful. The game is limited to some extent without them but not unplayable. You can still do pretty much everything by the looks of it.

Has anyone got some? Whats their opinions since having the VIP vouchers?
Title: Re: Rocking Soccer
Post by: Dragontao on December 17, 2013, 06:05:03 PM
They're actually reasonably good value, all told, in my opinion.

I bit the bullet and am now a 3star V.I.P until June. Immediate boost in credits (I think it's 42 straight off for a level 3 VIP), 4 credits a day, which soon mount up for the additional one off sponsorships and are useful for advertising your match, which I found was a very quck way to sell out the stadium.

Plus you can cash a voucher in every two seasons for 180 credits, which can then be converted to cash through those sponsorships.

They speed things up initially, helping gain the finances to upgrade facilities/improve the team more quickly, but like the game blurb says, they are less important as you progress and you really can play the game without them.

If that remains the case, we'll see.
Title: Re: Rocking Soccer
Post by: Brads on December 17, 2013, 10:57:29 PM
I'm max VIP aswell and the main benefits for me are the credits mentioned above and the additional scouting you can do, I can currently do 3 times as much scouting as I would be able to do without VIP and I usually use all 12, when I upgrade scout to level 5 it'll be 15 which gives you a lot more free chances to tinker with your tactics rather than using credits.

Title: Re: Rocking Soccer
Post by: davo on December 24, 2013, 11:31:05 AM
I am happy to click on all of your games, but you are better off posting your link on the tickets thread

http://rockingsoccer.com/en/soccer/forum/home-en/191?topic=11612

as you will get 5 Fan Club members for each new manager that clicks your link, rather than just normal fans. Each Fan Club member is worth 25 popularity.

This explains it all:

http://rockingsoccer.com/en/soccer/help/home/category-10/article-24

Amount of tickets sold

Each time someone clicks your link you sell at least 10 tickets. For each time your stadium is improved you'll sell another 5 tickets per time.

If your stadium has level 1 you can sell 10 tickets each time, if it has level 2 you sell 15, at level 3 you sell 20 etc.

You can only sell tickets to 10 people for each match. You can also sell tickets only once per IP-address.

Popularity increase

Each ticket you sell will also give you a normal fan. Normal fans are worth 4 points in popularity. So, for example, if someone buys 10 tickets, your popularity will be increased with 40

The first time someone buys a ticket to your match 5 of the new fans will be fanclub members, which are a better type of fans. Fanclub members are worth 25 popularity points, so you can get a popularity increase of 125.

You'll always get only 5 fanclub members, if you sold more tickets the rest of them will be normal fans. If your stadium is level 3 and you sell 20 tickets to a new user you'll get 5 fanclub members and 15 normal fans.

If you already sold tickets to 10 people your match is sold out. You can however still sell tickets to people who never bought a ticket to your match before. In this case the better tickets replace the tickets sold to a returning visitor so you can still get the fanclub fans for the new visitor.

Title: Re: Rocking Soccer

I found I don;t even need to advertise, simply buying tickets from that thread normally results in most of the managers buying in returrn.

I do trawl through your all of your league's fixtures every couple of days and buy tickets.

I have been using the credits to advertise matches. With the 3star VIP giving 4 credits a day, it's easy to do, though with the credits for attending matches, it really hasn't cost me many credits at all. After using the facility, each time the game has sold out in a matter of minutes.

A weird thing today. I'm in the league 4 table for under 21 matches and, up until today, I'd been playing other 4th tier under 21 teams. All of a sudden today I find myself playing against a tier 3 under 21 team. They show up in the level 3 under 21 table, the result of the match (a win for me) seems to have been added to their table, while I'm still showing in the level 4 under 21 table and the result has definitely been credited as a win in the level 4 table.
Title: Re: Rocking Soccer
Post by: Brads on January 01, 2014, 01:16:28 PM
Yeah that happens quite often! Probably because there aren't enough u21 teams in your league to fulfil 36 fixtures you play a random team from a random tier.

Hi m8 you definitely need to watch the matches that will give you at least another 600 fans is there any reason why you set your match times for 4am you know you can change this to a better time that suits you

Also you have a lot of teams in your league with 0 popularity so that's not going to help you either so there's nothing more you can do when you move up the leagues it will get a lot easier

Just to clear up terminology. Turning up at you match will not give you any additional fans or associated popularity. It will increase your attendance for the match by 20%, and therefore the gate receipts, merchandising and catering. the 600 number would be based on you getting an attendance of 3000, pushing it up to 3600.

I made a user today and got through the basic tutorial and stuff. I'm just wondering how I get new players? And what should I look for in a new player (any specific attributes/traits)?
Title: Re: Rocking Soccer
Post by: ipfreely on June 19, 2014, 07:23:44 PM
You can only buy players in the transfer windows; there's one at the end of the season plus a shorter (I think) one mid-season which ended a few days ago.  The season is 52 days long so I guess it's about 3 weeks away!

I'd just concentrate on developing your facilities and sorting out the best tactics with whatever you've got.  Oh, and once you're friends with some of us, if you wouldn't mind buying tickets to our games (they're free to you) we'd be most grateful ;)

Friend added  :)

Just checked out your team; your strikers are brilliant for level 4 so you should do well this season - well in your remaining games at least.  ::)  General tactic is to gradually replace your players with youngsters and train them up but you'll need better facilities, and therefore quite a bit of cash to do it.  Oh, and try http://sundayleague.freeforums.org/index.php (http://sundayleague.freeforums.org/index.php) where you can find some tips on how to get going.

Enjoy  :)

Cheers! Currently upgrading my training facilities to level two. And I was trying to find the feature to buy tickets for your next game but couldn't find it :-[
Title: Re: Rocking Soccer
Post by: Dragontao on June 19, 2014, 10:46:05 PM
Easiest way to find tickets for the next games I find is to click on the division of the team you want to buy tickets for, go to the results tab, then click on the numbers below for the set of fixtures. The ticket icon will show next to the games you can buy tickets for. This way you can sometimes buy tickets for two games ahead as well.

Oooh, thanks! Weird that they didn't make it easier to access, probably wouldn't have found that by myself for a while.

Won my first game today, fairly satisfying even though I couldn't begin to explain how it happened. ;D Are there any AT options I haven't found yet? Can't seem to find any other than formation change and substitution options.
Title: Re: Rocking Soccer
Post by: Dragontao on June 20, 2014, 08:41:18 PM
Advanced tactics are fairly limited at the moment and not a lot that can change the actual game in play, only the sub options.

I've found it's good to play pressing at home, but you risk more cards if you do so away. Bear in mind that it's more draining for players, so those who have low endurance may be affected for the next game or be at risk of injury.

It's important not to just concentrate on primary stats (e.g passing). For example, defenders, particularly DCB, benefit from at least two balls of blocking and good tactics as well. For an attacking MF, good tactics seems a must.

Initially concentrate on getting good strikers, a decent defender to play DCB and a goalkeeper with as good a blocking stat as you can get (but with fairly good speed and at least 1.5 balls for tactics.

The game is more about building up your team's abilities and picking a winning formation than the SL Rock-Paper-Scissors engine.

My top tips for new starters is:

Money is the Key to everything at the start so:

Popularity increases your wealth:

Once you have L5 youth and training, build up fanshop and catering to a level where they are still making you more money than they are costing, Heath (to Level 3 only) and scouting to L5 - but always make sure that you have enough money to upgrade your stadium as soon as you can.
About now you should think about buying players that are going to be good for the future (so 16-18 years old with talents of 4 and above).
The above is how I would do it if I started again. I built things too early. A level 1 youth / L2 Training will cost you $232K per season. A level 4 youth / Level 4 Training will cost you $869K per season meaning that it is going to take you much longer to save up for facilities and players. Most of us make the mistake of buggering up the finances with facilities that don't give us a great deal of benefit - and buying players that are better than what we have, but end up being surplus to requirements and unsaleable as their value gets too high for their stats.
Join the previously mentioned forum and check out the "financial calculator" spreadsheet in the Australian league thread. It will allow you to work out easily the financial implications of upgrading your facilities.

Anyway, you might choose your own way of doing things, but that is my $0.02

As Davo says it's all about money and fans early on and the best way to make money is your stadium so always upgrade it as soon as you can and your fan shop

Try and watch all your home matches this gives you 20% more fans to your home games you can change the time of your home games to a time that best suits you to watch them by going to Team Settings then Time Preferences it costs 2/3 credits

Vote for credits every day and try and watch your away games and U21 games these give you credits these are useful at the start not so much later on

Get an U21 team as soon as possible

At the start of the first Transfer period you can loan 3 players try and get a good Striker and GK in only loan players that are a lot better than the players you've got

Also read all the Help files they may all sound strange to start with but after a month or so read them again and every things a lot clearer

As for players

Speed is good for Strikers and Goalkeepers

Power is good for Defenders and Midfielders

Talent is important to all players as you will get more Experiance everyday so you can train them faster

When you buy Young Players I like to train them up to 3 balls in there main stat and then 2 balls tactics

Or as your players get better 4 Balls main Stat then 3 balls Tactics (2 balls Tactics for Keepers you don't need any more)

When your players get to 4 Balls Main and 3 Balls Tactics then you can train other things

Blocking for Central Defenders
Scoring for RB and LB (not so much now after ME changed)
Dueling for Defensive Midfielders
Scoring for Attacking Midfielders
Dueling for Strikers

Thanks for the advice, guys. ;D I wish I had known to invest in a stadium first, short on cash now and won't even be able to upgrade to level 2 for a while. :-[ I should probably try to sell my top striker once the transfer window opens before he becomes useless.

And how do I play pressing? :o I haven't found that feature yet...
Title: Re: Rocking Soccer
Post by: Stato1 on June 21, 2014, 10:25:53 PM
When your setting a line up for a match just below Formations it says Advanced Tactics click on that and this screen comes up


Tackles   
Passing   
Shooting   
Flank   
Corners   
Penalty taker   
Direct free kicks   
Corners right   
Corners left   

Then you can change tackles to Pressing Normal or Easy

Well given that freeforums is down thought I'd post on here  ::)

Well done Brads in still being on for free membership in the prediction comp!

Hard luck to the Spurs who are relegated but congrats to The Pussycats on replacing them in League 2!

Bloody ticket link not working is annoying me tonight - might have cost me a few quid :(

I accidentally clicked on the link for Sundayleague forums instead of Rocking Soccer, so I figured I'd have a bit of a mooch around.

Seems like there is not much happening on here these days, but all credit to Catgames for persevering with it - unlike the rest of the games they used to own.

Rocking Soccer is still going pretty well.

There are quite a few current and past SL managers on there who have been playing for almost 2 years now and most seem pretty happy with it - most notably in Australia where we have 9 SL managers.

So, if you are bored of the limitations of Sundayleague and fancy a different challenge, try Rocking Soccer out. I am not encouraging you to quit Sundayleague - most of us still have teams on here, but come and try it out. It is vastly different to this. There are 5,600 active players on there. The game is very usable without the need to pay - but most of us still buy credits (probably because we enjoy playing the game, rather than because you are wheelclamped if you dont - like here and moreso SL2).
