Hello
managers,
The new year has begun and we wish
you all the best for 2014. And this year will also be the year in which
goalunited will become goalunited next.
We have used the last few weeks to
push ahead in the development of goalunited next.
We know that the wait until the
start of goalunited next is long and that you probably can’t wait to try it
out. Until then there is still a lot of work ahead of us though. To sweeten up
the waiting time a bit we are planning the implementation of a nice little
feature for goalunited 2014. The implementation will not interfere with the
development of goalunited next. It is a feature that many managers have asked
for in our forum: Season goals!
In the feature “Season goals” you
can select up to 3 goals from a list of more than 20 predetermined season
goals, and with that you have a chance to personalize each season. We are
planning to offer three categories: League, Tournaments and Miscellaneous.
There should be something fitting for every manager and situation. For example,
if you are planning to let go of some of your old star players and to add young
talents, you could choose the season goals “make a profit of at least 10
million in one season” or “Promote at least 6 youth players with a strength of
2.0 or higher”. If you think you have the best team in goalunited, you can
shoot high and go for the goal “No IM match lost” and with that win 5000
GU-STARS. There are also a lot of season goals that any manager can achieve, for
example goals to reach a specific number of points, wins, or a set goal
difference. You will also find goals for the league cup, the International
Masters or your staff. Of course you can also set yourself the goal to win the
championship or to be promoted to the next higher league.
As you can see there is a broad
spectrum of choices.
After you have set your season goals
you can keep track of your progress throughout the season to see how far you
are from reaching your goal, or if it is even still possible. If you reach your
season goal until the end of the season, you will receive interesting prizes
like STARS, ingame money, boosters and special packs, all depending on the
difficulty of your set goals. They range from 2,500,000 ingame money over youth
and talent boosters up to 5000 GU-STARS.
For each season goal you need to
make a small contribution, like a small entry fee. If you do not reach your
goal, you lose your contribution. The higher the career level, the higher the
contribution. A manager with career level 20 pays a minimum fee of 100,000
ingame currency per goal, while a manager with career level 60 pays up to the
maximum amount of 1,000,000 per goal.
The basic functionality of the
feature is already in development. To give you a small insight into the basic layout of the feature we have shared a “drawn design
draft” with you. This design will of course be adjusted to fully integrate into
the goalunited 2014 layout. We are planning to go live with the season goals by
the end of March.

We hope that you will enjoy the
season goals.
