I think it would be a great addition to be able to view this season total income and expenses. It would give a better impression of how things are running. Furthermore by including the last couple of seasons total you can easily get an overview of the clubs economic progress.

Yeah, when lots of passes happen in the same replay block (whose duration is 10 seconds in the match) only the beginning and end are displayed in the animation, the intermediate steps are displayed only in the comments.

sometimes the replay @ 1x misses some importent stuff to… Ball goes from D -1 to A+1 without showing the steps in between if there was not a long ball.

1/2x or 1/4x can be easily added. We have plans to create an offline replay viewer in the future.

Small Positive difference means 1 goal difference more than expected, so in this case you mean it should be small negative difference (expected 5-3 was 4-3). I believe that in this particular case the article selected did not have the sub-category, just the category “Match Result As Expected”.

You’re right about this heading, doesn’t seem right :D

Can we have match replay at 1/2x or 1/4x speed?
i wonder who watches the replay at 3X or 4X speed and understands anything going on except the score?

if it is not possible then, i would once again ask not to erase the commentary but provide it in a scrolling list below replay screen, which we should not be able to copy or take offline from the system?
(i remember this commentary issued was raised before too, and i believe if the match speed is reduced, we can read the commentary before it is erased and follow the match screen too).

i would also like to ask the relevance of this newspaper heading: “Bore draw leads to winning streak!?
How can a draw extend your winning streak?
it might extend your “not losing streak” (or however you define it) but a winning streak…

gab, i found that:) my away game against getafe got on the headlines for those reasons you just stated. but i think proper articles are not being selected for the kind of matches. Levante led Getafe ( home game for getafe) for almost 80% of the game, but at the end lost 4-3 to Getafe. I am sure Getafe must have fielded second string players, but then levante did have its fair share of suspensions to most important players.

I am not complaining about my teams loss, but just saying that we can improve the kind of articles being selected based on the result. The article selected was something like " Getafe didn’t have any problem in beating levanted by 4X3 as expected". I think the kind selected were “Match Result As Expected” and “Score were as expected”, but should have been more like “Match Result As Expected” and “Small Positive Difference”. If the selection was correct then, may be we are making mistakes in writing articles. Something like phishing, where our function add(a,b) actually performs the subtraction operation.

i think submitting more articles is the only way forward.

@Filipe: Interesting point, but if you think about it lots of players should be similar and just a few should be stars, so reducing only the mean will not change the fact that there are too many good players. This is a controversial subject, as always.

@amacb: what I meant was, the average number of points earned per skill is still twenty, I’ve reduced the chance of an improving player earn much more than 20 points. I don’t know the exact numbers, but it would be something like, before the player had a 10% chance of earning 25 (or 15) points instead of 20, now this chance is 8%.

Matches are not picked by surprising results but by importance. For instance, a legue match between the first and second places (no matter the score, could be 0×0) will have higher priority than yours, no matter the result. Of course this is just our initial approach, we were afraid that considering surprising results as an important factor would cause these results to dominate the newspaper.

actually Philipp Chelsea and Liverpool have played in the same group in the 2005-06 competition. But that was because the Reds had won the CL in 2005 and ended up only 5th in EPL. Hence, there were 5 English teams in CL next season, even though Everton never made it to the group stages.
That said you are correct. Same country teams should not play in the same group

@ Gabriel: Once teams are automatically divided in 4 pools, you can do the dealing manually to form the groups and apply the not-from-the-same-country rule

If I read correctly reducing the standard deviation of players development you are reducing the risk of the player don’t reach the 20 points skill evolution. I would prefer to reduce the mean better than the standard deviation, as I think this risk is a good thing and without it is just a matter of sum 20 points each skill to know how the player will be…

Regards

you misunderstood me Sly. I dont care about meeting another german team in the quarters or semis. i care about balanced groups (strength and with minor relevance, nationality) and i would prefer that teams dont meet so soon again after group stage (no matter if they are from the same country or not …).
I’m aware that the modi used in RS probably have RL references, but i just speak out what i like most. If others see it the same way, fine. If not, good.

By the way we dont need to nerf everything to slove this problem i think. The fact is attackers are really overpowered in this game.. Even you have a great defence with 95+ tacklers you still let in 20+ shots some games and their rating sucks. Thats a shot every 4.5 minute having great defenders.Also you dont know how efficient your midfield is. How many assists they get? How many of the chances you create is based on your attackers tackling the opposition defense? We see attacker scoring 100+ goals in a season but how many clean sheets a top golie and defence combination have in one season?

“….AND existing players that are still improving to get much more than 20 points per skill ;) "

Sorry but I didnt like this part :/

Gabriel i would appreciate if you make a poll before making major chances in the game and see what majority wants. Imagine people spending their hard earned cash on promising players only later to realize that they dont have much potencial :/

i would say if you r going to try the new idea, it would be sensible to look at philipp’s idea, at least for the quarters… after that… it should just be a lucky draw…

that’s irrelevant…..
Spain was in the same group with Russia…they met in the semi’s of EC. So… badluck if you see another german in the semi’s. I don’t think there should be changes here. Keep things as they are.

About existing youths, you have to consider 2 things changed, it will be harder for a new youth to start with high skills and it will be harder for new youths AND existing players that are still improving to get much more than 20 points per skill ;)

@Neil Green: these are the types of articles we have only 1 approved template for

The winner and the loser really were the expected teams – Small negative difference. Example: expectation 4×0 result 3×0
The winner and the loser really were the expected teams – Medium negative difference. Example: expectation 4×0 result 2×0
The winner and the loser were not the expected teams – Small difference. Example: expectation 1×0 result 0×1
The winner and the loser were not the expected teams – Medium difference. Example: expectation 1×0 result 0×2
Tied match result (Both teams scored the same number of goals) – Small difference. Example: expectation 1×0 result 1×1
Expected tie but one of the teams won – Large difference. Example: expectation 0×0 result 3×0

You guys don’t forget we need all 3 sizes ;)

Thanks!
