As a manager you gain points for various activities like transfers, training pops, match wins, etc.
Based on your reputation, various aspects of the game are unlocked. The points system is designed in a way that we can safely say an 'Accomplished' manager is well aware of the basic working of the game (match engine, training, etc.) and now is ready to try out more challenging aspects.
The purpose is 2 fold:
#1 Simplify things for New Users (reputation < Average)
- More inline help text for them. eg: The scout saying that you can promote one a week (experienced managers don't need to see this), the assistant manager saying there is no point listing a Hopeless player for sale, etc.
- Common newbie mistakes like impulsively removing seats when you fill only 4000 in your first match (we've seen it happen to too many already!) will be prevented by locking the feature for them.
- You are introduced to new features on each level increase. So managers can focus on the new feature one at a time instead of being overloaded with a massive features list at one go.
#2 Challenge the Experienced users
- As game designers we can build features purely on the merits of it rather than worry about a steep learning curve.
Most of the 'features' are marked as coming soon...we'l roll them out one by one by the middle of next season.
You will notice that some of the actions give you less points once you've done them a few times already. It is our objective to make users try out all aspects of the points system other than be a master at just 1 or 2 and game the system.
All new features released will be unlocked as per your reputation. The exact level of which will depend on the complexity of the feature.
