Ideas & Suggested Improvements: New Features for Custom Game Worlds

June 3rd, 2009 by SM Dev (Ste)

We welcome all suggestions and ideas so please keep them coming and the most interesting will be posted within SM News, just like we have done with Phil’s idea:

“It’s great that we can customise our Custom Game Worlds and there are some great options that we can choose from. However, could you introduce some new options? It would be great if you could choose the starting balances, turn the Chairman On/Off, turn Player Exchange On/Off, add a unique image/logo to the Game World, set how much Prize Money each division wins at the end of the season etc. I hope that you will look into some of my suggested ideas as it would be great to have more options to make the Custom Game Worlds more unique!”

There are some interesting ideas which Phil has suggested, and there are probably more that you could add to that list like Chairman Strictness or Stadium Building On/Off to name but a few.

Would you like to see some of these ideas introduced? Do you have any suggestions yourself?

Please Note: Do not contact SM Support in relation to this topic as your ticket will be closed as this article is in relation to suggestions members of our community have sent in.

    Prize money being shown is a good idea and stadium building is even better if you are manager of a team with a small ground and need bigger attendencies for revenue. Would still like to see the top goal scorers list have cup goals included as they do in real life

    I would like to see all those ideas introduced. I own one or two custom game worlds myself and this would spice things up a bit

  • 3. Josh  |  June 3rd, 2009 at 1:48 pm

    The stadium building is a great idea but if the owner was to change the starting balance of every club wouldnt he give himself an advantage i think there should be a minimum starting balance to stop this from happening.

  • 4. John  |  June 3rd, 2009 at 2:01 pm

    I would like to see the previous history of manager Applicants to Custom Game Worlds, including which clubs managed, which other Game Worlds, how long a manager stays with a club, achievements, etc. etc.

  • 5. Jake Birdsall  |  June 3rd, 2009 at 2:41 pm

    I think these are great ideas, like he said it really would make the setups more unique! Just as long as existing setups get to make these changes in the next season, I’m all for it.

  • 6. Ross  |  June 3rd, 2009 at 4:33 pm

    great idea, would definately make the game more interesting and interactive, i myself have some custom game worlds and ive been thinking for a while that more options when creating would be a great addition. also maybe a better interface when picking clubs for the league as it can sometimes be a very long process to start up a setup if you want t have teams from different countries in it.

  • 7. fletcher  |  June 3rd, 2009 at 7:09 pm

    yes i’d like this to happen
    also i think that you should have be a certain rep to be able to manage top teams like barca,manu,inter,real ect..
    because some leagues iv been in the manutd manager is like 40rep and doesnt know what he’s doing and doesnt finish in the top 10 which makes the league a bit boring and not much of a challenge so would be good for 40rep to start of in league 1/2 and work there way up and the managers who are utd and other top teams and dont finish in the top area should have there rep deducted for being a poor manager hope this happends :D

  • 8. jack cardew  |  June 3rd, 2009 at 9:26 pm

    good idea giving custom owners more freedom, plus fletcher i like the basic idea of better clubs for higher rep managers, but wouldnt new sm players just get bored and not stick with the game?

  • 9. Peter Brown  |  June 4th, 2009 at 6:47 am

    I have a custom game world and they’ll make great improvement and make the game more realistic, and unique.
    Great Ideas Phil!

  • 10. Kenneth  |  June 4th, 2009 at 7:43 am

    The stadiums are not equally mesured as when i play with parca every home game i get 5 mil aded and with werder bremen i get maby 2 and its easyier for big clubs to get money faster like manchester united real madrid inter or milan . U should make it at least the same

  • 11. Morag  |  June 4th, 2009 at 9:11 am

    hello i think the staduims are great but i am the manager of inverness caledonian thistle (a small team in the scottish premier league and when i play big teams like celtic and rangers my stadium is full.

  • 12. victor osomo  |  June 4th, 2009 at 9:40 am

    i think the managers should be able to allocate a number for their players

  • 13. Bill  |  June 4th, 2009 at 11:04 am

    i think that we should have champions league and uefa cup in the top division (div 1) to spice things up a bit because all we are currently playing for is to win the league and dont get relegated.

  • 14. Paul  |  June 4th, 2009 at 12:44 pm

    i like the staduims idea i also think there should be prize money for promoted teams to help there budget so they can compete with the other teams in there new league

  • 15. Oisin  |  June 4th, 2009 at 1:10 pm

    i like the stadims idea. I also think that champions league and europa league should be introduced in all division ones. This would make things more interesting as if you are 5th with five or six games left there is currently nothing to play for.

  • 16. Oisin  |  June 4th, 2009 at 5:21 pm

    i would love to see some sort of a champions league and europa league system introduced. This would make Division 1 more interesting and realistic. As currently all you are playing for is 1st place, if you are tenth midway through the season there is nothing to play for. This of course would be difficult to introduce as some sort of ‘grouping’ with other game world leagues would have to be introduced. Furthermore, in world championships if a champions league was introduced then there could be multiple MANCHESTER UNITED’S playing against each other, but this isn’t an issue I would be disappointed by. I’m sure the soccermanager team can think of something as I would like to see this happen !! =]

  • 17. omco  |  June 4th, 2009 at 7:33 pm

    i agree champions league,and bigger budget,so we can bought someplayers for selling later

  • 18. JonoMcvay  |  June 4th, 2009 at 9:57 pm

    I Would Like Too See Staduim Building Introuduced Because Bigger Teams Get A Better Advantage Even If They Dont Win The League

  • 19. Kevin Kelly  |  June 4th, 2009 at 11:23 pm

    Champions League is already happening in Gold Championships.

    I don’t think it would be viable in custom championships unless you had multiple leagues with top teirs. This is far more than we get in a custom setup and would probably cost alot more overall.

    I’d personally pay for it, would make custom set ups totally awesome.

    I like the idea of the unique logo!

  • 20. Sheep  |  June 5th, 2009 at 5:59 am

    We hope transfer market also got season,not able to transfer by anytime. This will help to level the club which don’t have move and big statdium.

  • 21. Jimmer  |  June 6th, 2009 at 2:57 am

    I believe a couple of the ideas would be good, for example chairman stadium expansion and prize money. However altering SMs transfer budgets would make it too fantasy and less realism within custom setups. Logos could be introduced Such as league table backgrounds etc
    Another option could be to decide what prestige you want the league to be, depending on the teams involved and it will be rated and tv money will be allocated respectively depending on game world quality rating

  • 22. t  |  June 6th, 2009 at 8:06 am

    there should be champions league and Europa league this will make the game more realistic and we should be able to watch our team play

  • 23. nathan kirby  |  June 7th, 2009 at 11:17 am

    All ideas are good. Id like to be able to cusimize the clubs starting money maybe 60m max Also have a limit of a teams wage budgit say it caint exede 500k etc.

  • 24. Anhar  |  June 12th, 2009 at 6:48 am

    as an owner of a custom game world i think that it’s a brilliant idea and i will use it

  • 25. Ideas & Suggested Imp&hellip  |  June 12th, 2009 at 12:55 pm

    […] few weeks ago we posted an article about New Features for Custom Game Worlds, and we are now going to collate all of the feedback and then look at how the ideas and suggestions […]

  • 26. paul  |  June 14th, 2009 at 8:54 pm

    yes i agree with all ur points but theres one thing u forgot about
    being able watch ur matches live or highlihgts to see how ur players are doing in matches.Not just simming them like they do now a 3D or 2D experince would be amazing . I wish they would this it woyld make soccer manger way better its rubbish at the min

  • 27. Kesh  |  January 20th, 2010 at 1:47 pm

    i believe we should be able to make stadiums larger as im running a very successful Everton team who sit top in Game World 7210 and roughly 40,000 come to my game each time and the stadiums capacity is 40.569 and I want to increase it so yes please allow stadium enlargements.
