Hi there, community!

So here’s the thing, I’ve heard about an urban legend:

“Anyone who doesn’t log in for more than a week gets 90+ players as a gift via email”

Being the big sucker that I am, I wanted to put this to the test a couple of weeks ago

I messed up my youth team’s training (so I sold them, obviously)
And since I logged back in, I haven’t got a thing :(

So I’m publicly debunking this urban legend, haha ^^

I lasted 8 days and then, hey presto, I’d logged back into Virtuafoot ^^

gweltaz29: Kikou la commu !

Alors voilà, j'ai entendu parler d'une légende urbaine :

"Ceux qui se connectent pas pendant plus d'une semaine reçoivent des joueurs 90+ en cadeau par mail"

La grosse pince que je suis à voulu tester l'expérience il y a de ça 2-3 semaines

J'ai foiré la formation de mes jeunes (vendu du coup heinn)
Et depuis que je me suis reconnecté je n'ai rien eu :(

Donc je déments publiquement cette légende ahah ^^

J'ai tenu 8 jours et hop je m'étais reconnecté sur virtuafoot ^^

Isn’t it unfair that you didn’t get your player, or that clubs are creating multiple accounts left, right and centre to get those 90NG, resell them at the maximum price, and then transfer the money back to their main club one way or another?

Rull43: C'est pas juste que tu n'es pas eu ton joueur ou que des clubs créent des multis à gogo pour obtenir ces 90NG le revendre au prix max, puis transférer l'argent d'une manière ou d'une autre à leur club no 1?

Well, I’m as pure as the driven snow, aren’t I? ^^

It’s just that I don’t get why I’m not eligible :(

No, but seriously, it was just a little experiment ^^

It’s not like I’ve created loads of alt accounts or anything...
To be honest, I’m just gutted for my kids, you know :(

I’d understood.
My reply was ironic because, unfortunately, some people aren’t that honest. Sorry, I don’t know the exact rule regarding how long it takes for inactive clubs to receive this ‘gift’, but unfortunately it’s not just a myth. An admin, someone in the know or a cheater will certainly be able to help you.

But for someone who’s honest, I don’t think that’s the best way to grow. All the best

Rull43: J'avais compris.
Ma reponse etait ironique car malheureusement certains ne sont pas si honnête. Désolé je ne connais pas ds le détail la règle au bout de combien de temps, les clubs inactifs reçoivent ce cadeau, mais cela n'est pas une légende malheureusement. Un admin, un connaisseur ou un tricheur pourra t'aider certainement.

Mais pour qqn d'honnête, je pense pas que cela la meilleure technique pour se développer. Bonne continuation

I reckon the game doesn’t like me ^^

Even six months ago, when I started playing, all my mates were getting free cheques for 2–3 million every two days – except me ^^

And now, nothing – I’ve never got a gift by email ;(

We have to wait 9 days!

Kevin-7130: Il faut attendre 9 jours!

I promise, I'm not trolling, am I? ;(

Otherwise, I'm going for it ^^

gweltaz29: Promis c'est pas du troll ? ;(

Sinon j'y fonce ^^

Why would anyone want to take unfair advantage of a game mechanic?

Where’s the honour in that?

Radio: Pourquoi vouloir profiter d'une mécanique de jeu de manière indue ?

Où est le mérite ?

So here’s the thing:

I think it’s a shame for me not to make the most of this – why?

In 9 days, I can hope to play 9 matches

With roughly 100k per match, to round it off
That’s 900k in 9 days, plus 400k from the shop

As a modest club, I can hope to earn 1.3 million, a bit more with mentoring

If I follow the trend that’s emerging – not logging in for 9 days and getting a 90+ player worth 20 million…

Well…
I play every day and I could never make 20 million in 9 days

I just think it’s fair to take advantage of this system, if nobody minds

It’s a bit daft, but fair enough

gweltaz29: Kikou Radio

Alors voilà :

Je pense que c'est dommage pour moi de ne pas en profiter, pourquoi ?

En 9 jours ducoup, je peux espérer jouer 9 matchs

Avec en peu prêt 100k par match pour arrondir
Soit 900k en 9 jours, avec 400k avec la boutique

Moi modeste club, je peux espérer gagner 1.3 millions, en peu plus avec le mentoring

Si je suis là tendance qui se dessine, ne pas se connecter pendant 9 jours et obtenir un joueur 90+ vendable 20 millions...

Bon...
Je joue tous les jours et je pour...

In my opinion, that’s verging on insider dealing.
Mind you, I’m no lawyer!

What does your conscience tell you: money or patience?

The problem with the last few seasons is that the game is completely different now.
If you’ve been playing for quite a fewyears, you see the game going completely off the rails, partly because loads of people are running multiple accounts just to keep track of them all – and how on earth is it possible that a club which has taken 10 or even 15 seasons to reach the top 300 in the French server can’t beat clubs that’ve been around for six months with 90 rating. And finally, never, ever would a Level 9 or 10 club have spent 30m or more on a player with a rating of 80 to 85; now that seems normal.
I’m all for a VF rating – it’s essential – but the fact is that many former clubs and players are quitting the game because their funds are running out just to stay at Division 1 level, and renewing players’ contracts is becoming too complicated to keep up with.

Ritter: Le problème de ses dernières saisons, c'est que le jeux na plus rien a voir.
Si tu joues depuis pas mal d'années tu vois le jeux partir en sucette d une part parce que beaucoup de monde fait des multi compte pour avoir le monitoring de ses multi compte et comment cela et possible qu un club qui a mis 10 voir 15 saison pour arriver top 300 de vf arrive pas a battre des clubs qui ont 6 mois avec des 90 de note . Et pour finir jamais au grand jamais un club niveau 9 ou 10 aurait mis 30 m voir p...

The first problem, yeah, it’s complicated – it’s become easier to run multiple accounts.

On the other hand, it’s not at all out of the ordinary for players with a rating of 80 to be sold for 30M; the market is based on a player’s relative value. Players rated 80–90 will be at the top of the tier for the next few years.

The problem is the development of young players.

It’s been devalued, I feel.

Teams are now reliant on players created by Aymeric and brought into the game.

Are there still players who are willing to sacrifice 4–5 seasons to build a team?

And the players they’re giving away in a bid to get people back into the game – that’s the worst so-called ‘good idea’ the MDJ has ever come up with...

Damien2911: Le problème est la formation des jeunes.

Elle a été dévalorisée, j'ai l'impression.

Les équipes sont dépendantes désormais des joueurs créés par Aymeric et lancés sur le jeu.

Y-a-t-il encore des joueurs qui sacrifient 4-5 saisons pour former une équipe ?

You’ll be able to train young riders who’ll be on a par with the top riders, or even a bit better, and if the 28-year-olds can manage 90ng – as A45 does – that’d be brilliant.
That’s not the case, though.
If you’ve got an 80-pot, it’ll already be massive if it manages 80ng and 15 endu.

That said, the 90 players brought in are 28 years old, have a permanent contract and minimal experience… essentially, they’re not exactly warhorses…They might do the job in a pinch for an experienced club (and even then, only if there’s a good fit) and give a young club the impression it has a top-class team, but its dreams of greatness will soon come up against the reality of the game...Admittedly, they’ll breeze through the basic Level 4 teams in Division 3 of a league, but that’s as far as it’ll go.
