We are getting a lot of messages regarding coaching badges and that you have to pay if you want to manage the top clubs so we wanted to clarify what the coaching badges do so it's clear.
In order to get jobs in the game your overall rating is used to determine whether you are good enough for the job or not. Your overall rating is generated by taking your reputation and your tactical knowledge rating.
Your reputation will go up and down dependent on how good you are at running clubs, winning games and hitting targets. When your reputation goes up, then your overall rating will go up.
Tactical knowledge rating is your knowledge of the game of football and can only be increased by taking the next badge. This too will increase your overall rating.
The games premise is all about your career as a director, starting at the bottom as anyone new to a career would and working your way up to the top and being offered the most prestigious jobs. If you wish to break the time investment and progression in the game and jump to the best jobs, then the only way to do this is to upgrade your coaching badges.
If you don't want to do that then improving your rep by being good at the game will improve your overall rating and you will get better jobs.
During this progression up the career ladder, if you wanted to not wait and jump up to better jobs then upgrading your badges is the way to do this, and if your rep has increased then the badge required to get the better jobs will become cheaper as you already have a higher overall rating.
So the better you do in the game, the cheaper it will become to jump to much bigger and better clubs, until for the best players you won't have to upgrade at all as you will have earn't your place as one of the top directors in the game.
So please don't be put off by seeing your favourite club in the top leagues requiring the top badge purchase, this will come down the better you get at the game and the more you progress.
Is the overall rating calculated by doing the average of reputation and tactical knowledge?
Yep.
So if you play the game and progress to have a reputation of 100 but don't buy a coaching badge keeping your tactical knowledge at 50 the overall rating would be 75. It would then be impossible to be a director of a big club without buying a coaching badge because it requires a rating of 78. Or does the rating required reduce as you progress?
Your rating will be 75 but you can attract jobs up to around + 6 to 8 of your rating so you will be able to take all jobs
That means if you do not buy badges you can not do anything to make progress in game.
You can not go to bigger clubs, you can not prosper with a small club because good players don t wants to come to your club, regardless of what you are in the first league (Premier, Bundesliga...).
I think you need to find a way for people who do not want to buy badges to make progress in the game. Of course a lot more difficult way, but it must be possible.
Thanx
That's not true, if you drive your rep up you will get better jobs and attract better staff. Attracting players is based around squad, strength and manager rating as well as your rep, so it can be done but its alot harder yes. We are looking at a system that may slowly increment your tactical rating, based on your rep but still looking at how we balance and implement
No jimscott1972 That's not true, I have a rating of 100 and have for 3 seasons now, have the highest rated manager on the game, an agent, ground at top rating all in, a high rated squad but still can't attract the best players!!!!. I win nearly everything but they still have no interest in my club, also it is infuriating when trying to buy players they have a buy out clause yet we can't set one, I guess it's because I didn't pay out cash for the last 2 badges even though I speant loads buying coins?
To be honest, I think that reputation needs to be buffed when you are in the high 80s in rep. I won 6-7 straight Champions League Titles, 7-8 Coppa Italia as well as going 38-0-0 in the Serie A, and I still have lower reputation than Barcelona, Real Madrid, Dortmund and Bayern. Also, even going the treble, sometimes the team rep doesn't go up and my own rep goes up by 0-1 each season. I don't know how many more Championship League Titles I need to win to get to 100rep.
What sort of squad strength and manager rating do you have to win as much as that? One point to note that rep can be restricted to the strength of your club so you can't just mine rep, in a poor club
It was a few seasons ago, in Lazio. I had an 80 overall staff with an 81 overall squad.
I can not upgrade coaching badge and after some time I can not earn coins,I deleted and reinstalled the game,but again the same.
you need to be connected to the internet to upgrade your badge
How come available badges don't appear in my game, even with internet access

I paid to upgrade to a UEFA A badge but now there are no job vacancies for conference national or lower when restarting a game. Why is this?
How do i restore purchased coaching badges so I can start at the beginning because there are no job vacancies below league 2. I want to start in conference South. Uninstalling the game didn't work.
So can i get tactical knowledge without buying soaching badge?
I'm new to the game and wen I go to purchase badges, nothing shows up.
Please will the badges show up later?
