About the html formatting not working in the forum, I have noticed that a couple days ago..no idea :(
Just do it =)
Or give them 100 points instead of 120, or make smth else plz =)
Chelsea and Liverpool never played in a same group …
I thought about that. But that could make the newspaper a pain to read :). Or maybe not, lets see.
Huge discount @ juventus! Alot of cheap (10mill) players for sale!
for those small articles on the top how about displaying only specific no of characters for other articles and an additional link ( for eg more) that would open the whole article. that would make them of uniform size in the front page
EDIT: why is this html formatting not working in forum:S
Are there any types of results that are lacking in articles? I imagine that a lot of people will have gone for certain types such as big win or big loss results! If so, let us know which ones you need more of.
On another note, it looks like the newspaper is generated every tick? I can’t always login after the main league game meaning that I miss the newspaper for the main results. How about publishing the last 3 newspapers so you I can go back and read it rather than reading about unimportant friendlies!
yeah, I don’t care about meeting each other in quaters or semi’s. That’s just badluck. Chelsea has faced Liverpool plenty of times in the later stage the CL….
The fact they meet in semi-finals is a coincidence (even though it is the most likely situation using the curent formula).This kind of complaint must have come from europeans, here in South America we are so used to the lack of organization in our football competitions that nobody would think about it :D
We are working on that, Nicky (Vaughn) is also taking a look at what we have now and giving suggestions. The reason for the blank space below the articles is because each article size has a large range of possibilities. For example, the main article is somewhere between 560 and 1120 characters, so when a 560 characters articles is picked for that space there is a lot of free spaces. Don’t forget the fact that the articles will be translated and become bigger in most languages. Our translators will have a lot of work (me included) for next month updates :D
makes sense… happens the same in real competitions too…
i know:) :P well… three kinds of templates for three kinds of spaces… i believe there will be some more changes in the overall structure in the coming days…
i was actually saying about those spaces below the published articles … unpublished spaces will be covered as we go full fledged:)
Eheh And we have 2 articles like that, I used the option to correct “suprises” on that one but the option was to create another article :D
You can delete mine and correct the original…
The space available in the newspaper I believe its because there are not enouph templates to cover all the results…
i’d like to add a suggestion for the CL finals stage: teams from the same group shouldn’t meet again before the finale.
Currently the advancing 2 teams always meet again in semi-finals already, if both won their quarterfinals.
this is just a beta, there i coming more in the newspaper by time :)
Quality of articles will improve as time passes by… I am sure more suggestion will appear in the future as ppl get fed up of similar articles everyday…
But i think we could do something more about the space available in the newspaper. Most of the space for seems to have gone waste… Or is it just me who thinks so???
Nicky, we do know that the match engine needs to be tweaked, and it will. But random is the wrong word to qualify its current state. If that was true a lot of stuff would not be in the way they are right know. An example is the ranking. The names on the top of our ranking do not change that much.
Have you ever tried to investigate the different results you get when you have the same tactic X against each one of the possible tactics the adversaries can choose? It is not just a matter of team A winning against B and then losing to C, which lost to B recently.
Now articles have that info. I am also planning one more addon to our newspaper functionality that will make the articles more interesting. Wait and see :D. cheers
Something feels really weird and i think i’m not the only one. I’ve seen some beatings in my soccer life, but what’s going on? It feels like all the games are more random then ever. Team A wins from team B, Team B wins from team C but team A loses from team C. Even with almost exact the same lineup/tactics.
Look at this (don’t feel offended stefan): http://www.rubysoccer.com/game/match_report/427520
Some notes on that match:
- Scott Collins AC → Position D LC 0 → getting match point of 9.6
- Jardel Medeiros DC → Position M C +1 → getting match point of 10
My team isn’t so crappy i should lose by 3-1 with shit possession and only 10 shots should i ?! I’m not the most genious with tactics, but i know what good players are etc. When ever i put in alot of effort with statistics in excel and trying to figure things out it seems to get worser every time. This is really getting out of hand in my opinion.

Gama is selling some great midfielders check them out. Also selling two promising defenders.
In fact, the plan is to have the link to the match (with the result) in all articles. So it is not mandatory to mention it on the text.
My bad, this message is supposed to be sent only when someone makes a transfer proposal for one of your players, not when you offer a contract renewal or contract to a youth player :P
Should be fixed!
Agreed. I’ll add some more information to this article and make sure the articles have at least the basic information when we approve them ;)
I’ll remove it until we find a better way to add this information ;)
Hey,
I was reading the newspaper and i noticed this article;
No suprises
No suprises at América-RN stadium as América-RN won the game in front of 54200 fans.
I know everyone has the right to write an article, but isn’t this one saying nothing?! America-RN won infront of fans….yeah ok? against who? With what score? I think those are the most importent elements for an article?
Nicky
i find it really annoying!!! i got that to and thought..someone bidding on my player that is not listed? Ow wait..i’m that..bug message?
i just want the final column at the end to be points column…
well… if you could put percentage inside the brackets, that could stop confusing us… but i am not sure how the design would look like???
“Levante has made a transfer proposal for Gustavo Diane. " From “Assistant”
What should i understand from this message… i don’t want to transfer list the player, but it seems the board wants me to do so ???
EDIT : May be you were making some system changes, everytime i offer him a new contract, i get that message… i think this message is not necessary during the contract renewals…
Gotta admit i really dislike this, sorry guys :)
