Buying players from transfer list

Post by vector »

Just wondering what the general calc is for refusing offers on a player in the list.
I looked at a particular player and saved the game b4 i made an offer. The offer was refused so I reloaded. I then made a ridiculasly high offer and was still rejected. Just a conincedence maybe but you would have thought a manager with a player on a the TL would jump if the offer was crazy.

Your offer gets rejected, if:
  • the transfer fee you offer is below the player's value
  • the wage you offer is below the player's wage
  • in 10% of the cases the above conditions are fulfilled (ie. your offer's good enough financially.
The better your scout, the better his estimate of the first two values.

The last condition's just so that there's still a random factor (otherwise it gets boring, doesn't it ;-)).
But I just noticed that the code's faulty, the 10% are in favour of the buyer (ie., the user) because a logical operator was wrong. So in about 10% of the cases where your offer should be rejected because of the first two conditions, it gets accepted.

As to why your ridiculously high offer was rejected: dunno, maybe only one of the two values was high? Maybe the wage was too low?
