I’d like to standardize this number of teams per division, something around 20, where 3 would be relegated. I’ll make a poll about that. The reason behind this is again to give all countries similar chances to compete.
It represents the real life situation and division sizes. Smaller leagues get less experience points, but have better stamina situation. The only thing I don’t like is that in Russia I had to wait 30 turns before the first league match =)
Hi all,
I’ve been looking at some countries for some time and noticed alot of countries have only 16 teams while other countries have 20. Paraguay even only have 12! I think this is a big disadvantage for loaning out/growing players. Is this fair?

We want to go further than ManagerSim, so Europe wouldn’t be enough! :D
you should have sticked with just europe :)….less problems :)
Right now I am just on for about 2 minutes, so I will send you a message about that later, Neil. That is a generic automatic comment, because I did not implement the option for us admins to customize it yet :D. But the general rule is that articles need to stick to the template guidelines (type, category, sub category). If you wrote somethink like ‘player X got a red card’ or ‘the team won 3 points’ or ‘the team could not make to the next phase of the national cup’, a review is necessary, because the current article guidelines are much more generic than that. In future we will have more and more kinds of guidelines, and more particular articles will be possible. cheers!
Yes, it’s back again – I assume we’re not supposed to be able to edit the approved articles.
I have one article to review with the admin’s comments “Please review this article text. After that, we might accept it.” but no indication of what is to be reviewed. I’m not sure if there are errors in it that need to be corrected, if it’s too long/short, or if they just don’t like the content of the article in general and I should scrap it! Could we get some more guidance with the article feedback?
Neil, you were right. Take a look now, it should be working. cheers!
Neil, that is very strange! Could you please send a screenshot to admins at rubysoccer.com?
cheers
I can’t seem to edit the newspaper articles I’ve submitted. One has been approved, two are pending (with one of them awaiting my review) but I can’t edit any of the three, there doesn’t appear to be any kind of link to click? It says that the editor has left comments on the one to be reviewed but I can’t read those either.
I’m sure there was an edit button there yesterday against each article but it appears to have gone.
cheers,
Neil.
We can’t forget the difference that would cause between european and south american competitions. I believe we are going in the standardization direction, not implementing that kind of specific rules. I’m tempted in doing a poll about that, as I said, cause we have to choose to either have the specific rules or a more integrated RubySoccer world were every country / continent follow the same standard rules so they can be compared and compete fairly against each other.
Gabriel. I know it’s more complex in real life. But again I’m pulling the Managersim card. If you don’t qualify for Cl → move to Uefa/EL Group stages. In managersim when you got knocked out of CL, you moved to uefa right away. Infact, if you were 3rd in your group of CL in round 1, you also moved to uefa. But then again, managersim had a knockout tournament with uefa, while ruby has group stages.
You simply can’t get around the fact that playing internatinonal games is the most fun. I hope you can implement that ASAP.
well, i was thinking about that when i was adding it. i might change this to “scores as expected” only, because it refers to difference of goals only.
Quick work as ever Danilo!
The new expected tie result says “scores exactly as expected”. I assume you mean the difference in scores rather than a precise score? i.e. if the expected result was 1-1 this result condition would be met for any other draw such as 0-0 or 2-2, not just 1-1?
cheers.
Added the missing sub_category for tie! Expected result. cheers!
Yep, just ignore it, usually :). It is a standard button from this editor tool, on the simplest mode.
Nice, guys. I really forgot the “expected tie” option :). I will add it. As for the rest, I will add more to the var list help, but as always you can write anything you think it would be a good idea inside the %{}. If we agree with you, we will make it work and let others know. I will put together a diffent page so I can list all vars discussed so far… But the main ones will remain in the page they are today. Moreover, It is in our plans to offer more specific match results classifications so we can have more options in our articles.
this one is good yeah ! Cleanup code if for html codes?
Haha, I wouldn’t intend to use them all in one article! You just might slip something in such as “X team scored 2 goals in the second half to secure the win”, or making something up about one of the players just to add a bit of a personalised touch.
Sorry, didn’t realise there was a discussion in the other thread following the announcement, I was just going by the variable listed on the newspaper editor in the actual game.
The more variables we have available the better, so that the articles are different everytime they crop up.
I’ve read a little bit about uefa cup and europa league on wikipedia…it’s far more complex than that. I know it’s cool when things are designed like in real life but we’ve been trying to standardize some things in the game to make it faster to develop and maintain, and also to make it fair for all countries. For instance, in some countries the national cup winner go to uefa cup, but in Brazil the cup winner goes to Libertadores (which would be equivalent to CL). Maintaining each country / continent specific rules could be hard, and making international cups completely different between continents could unbalance the ranking.
We will add a fake club world cup, so I guess most people are not really concerned about no following all real life rules. Of course we can always make polls to find out :D
You first have the qualifying round for both CL and EL. If you don’t get to the group phase in CL then move to group phase in EL ? Isn’t that how it work irl?
You’re right, this one shouldn’t be hard ;)
In which uefa round eliminated CL teams should join?
Yeah paying 100.000 on wages and then start complaining that the income isn’t high enough..come on ppl!
Bummer. Especially the CL qualifying thing I wouldn’t mind seeing right away. Don’t get CL → move to uefa. It can’t be such a hard thing to encode can it?
@Jesus Ramirez I bought those players by selling others. This is why I’m dominating France. I sold players who I consider “avarage” to managers who considered them to be great. I sold 21 year old talents in order to buy players who i considered better, even though some managers might not think so.
When I say I make no money, I’m talking about wages costs vs income from merchandise. The money I made is from “good management”. I got players from free transfer and trained them myself. Here are some names: Mariano Abrescia, Godofredo Beltrão, Damien Beasley, Marco Pedroso .
These were some of my “biggest sales”. I’ve also sold players for prices like 8-10 mill. For example: Ricardo Pedro Barbosa.
Again, I’m against all idea’s to “balance” economy. It will only effect me in a very negative way. I worked “hard” to get a stable team going and a decent economy. I can’t help the fact some teams have to much money or pay crazy wages. That’s not my fault or my problem. I don’t believe in whining crap from small teams or teams that don’t perform as good. I said this before and I’ll say it again. Good managers don’t get fired, good managers will always eventually do well. If you know what to look for, there are always nice affordable players out there.
Now please just stop all this bitching about money. If things really will be to extreem, we can always reset the game and start over :)
What the…I have no idea of what happened, let me fix this.
Nice ideas but you have to remember you only have a few characters to write in your article. How can you fill all those option in with so lillte characters available? And you have to remember that they have to be for every team and every result.
These are already there, check the announchment topic;
- Winning/losing manager’s names.
- Winning/losing team’s country.
yeah got that to in firefox 3.0
nah, the strongest species survives, money rule the globe, and world domination lays ahead…. :P
The opportunities to make income are there for everyone to take. Some teams get richer because of better management and that’s about it. And I do think if managers stick to a few principles, then all managers can make money one way or another. When I first rejoined the game almost 5 seasons ago, the market seemed over inflated and rather stagnant in term of transactions dynamic, but with time…and a bit of patience…I have managed to find great deals.
The biggest problem, from what I have noticed, is that half the managers don’t yet grasp the growth system in this game, because they are either don’t bother to read the forums, or are too lazy to as questions.
