2. playing out of position

Hello,

I’m new to the game and I was wondering how the performance of a player is affected if I play him out of his position.

I mean: is it better to have a poor MC (with passing skills bellow average) playing his natural position or would beneffit the team more to use a ML or MR in his place (with much better passing skills)?

Cheers

2. Board expectations

If they told you that it means you’ve got a pretty decent squad or your opponents are not that strong. They won’t fire you if you don’t qualify for Champions League, they will fire you if you consistently have unexpected bad results, and you’ll be warned if your situation is critical.

The expectations surely need some calibration and we will do that. For now don’t worry, you should be ok ;-)

Cheers!

2. Board expectations

To ask a team that recently arrived to the first league to qualify for champions league is a litte, to say te least, surreal. Since the board can fire a manager, there is some way to change or calibrate these expectations?

thanks.

Player history now records when players left or join a club. Maybe in future we will also record loans, but for now all the player history functionalities that were initially designed are done.

That makes complete sense :). If you find out how to do it, please share with the rest of the guys here. We cannot be of much help as we don’t have those nice small devices.

2. Ruby Environment

iPhone has a Safari browser, javascript enabled. Flash is not compatible but it is expected to be in future, java is not compatible and it’s not on apple plans (that’s why I expected the match replay not to work).
I think the problem has to do with the interface, in iphone and other devices with small touchscreens you can move the screen (web page) zoom in and out, what happens is that when you select a player in the formation screen and move him to the field, the screen moves with the finger gesture and I will never be able to carry a player to the field unless there is a way to lock the portion of the web page behind…
Perhaps there is a way to do that but so far I don’t know how to :)

You would need a javascript enabled browser to drag and drop.

It’s definitely interesting to have RubySoccer fully working on cell phones, Hugo. This is something we can work on as the game becomes more solid.

Thanks for the feedback.

Sorry, be easy on my words :)

The drag and drop players feature is not possible…
The match replay feature is not possible…

The transfer page shows as I see it in pc browsers, the team player page is also fine, I had negotiated contracts with my players, but I tested both contract and loan and it works, the drop down boxes (type of transfer/squad associated to match) pop up a list with the available selections to choose, it’s very easy to navigate in ruby!

The drag and drop feature doesn’t work, which was a bit disappointing, but I understand that it might not be compatible due to the zoom feature of the phone, in opposite you can zoom in transfers or player page easily to check players in detail and come back to the whole page…

About the match replay, I wasn’t expecting to work, the result was the expected…

I took 3 photos of the transfer and player squad page, if you’d like to check it. The bright is not the same as looking at the display but it gives the idea.

Perhaps gabriel and danilo could decide to give full support on ruby to cell phones (it could be an interesting idea).

If anyone wants more tests just ask, it’s a new toy, I have the time for it now :)

Cheers

Hugo, are you able to drop and drag players in the lineup page on the iPhone???

Do the “transfer” pages format correctly?

Does the team player page format correctly?

I tried a bunch of phones (Verizon USA)… including BlackBerrys and other “web enabled” phones… none could do what I needed to do on Rubysoccer. I finally gave up and got a cheap Moto phone.

2. Injuried/suspended player substitute

Hi Rafael,

I’m really sad about this bug, I’ve worked on it a couple months ago and everything seemed to be working fine on my test environment, but I guess it never worked on our real environment. I still need to investigate what is wrong with the logic I’ve added. I agree this is a very annoying bug :-(

Cheers!

We have prizes on our future enhancements list, but as Toni said it must be done very carefully.

2. prize money

I´m afraid it could unbalance the financial side of the game too quickly.

Now there is some kind of bigger stadium for cup finals and of course you make more money the more rounds you play in the cups. Yeah, it is always nice to win prize money, but if prize money is added, it should be done very carefully so that it doesn´t take the fun away from the game.

I think most people would like to avoid a situation where two or three clubs have +500M in the bank while the rest have around 5-10M.

Of course there could be some prize money for winning the league. But just stay realistic. :)

2. Injuried/suspended player substitute

It’s not always possible to be here before each match I play.

when a player is injured or suspended, the system automatically arranges another player so complete the squad. usually, they pick a left side defender to replace any unavailable player – what ruins my tactical system. It stolen some points away from me and almost took my figueirense away from libertadores this season.

well… I’d like to know if is there some tactical rule to avoid the system to do it, replacing the unavailable player by another from the same position to occupy the same tactical function. If there isn’t, here’s another suggestion to improve this great game!

best!

When do we start getting prize money for winning the league and cups.

2. Low stamina

The risk of injuries is higher for low stamina players. Maybe it’s not high enough. A “not match fit” sounds good also. We’ll review this subject.

Thanks thorpedo!

2. Low stamina

I was looking for new players when I saw players with stamina like 3, 4 or 17 without injuries. I think this is ridiculous. In real life a player with stamina “3” has a very big chance for an injury of half a season.
I suggest a “not match fit” if a player has a stamina below 50. The player can’t play matches anymore untill his stamina reached again a stamina of 51.
Also the injuries of players with a stamina below 85 must be longer and the risk for injuries must be much higher.
I think this a reasonable solution.

Cheers

2. Other Announcements

I’ve just added a mechanism to translate automatic in-game messages (like proposal rejected, friendly invitation, player sold, etc). Almost all of them are already translated to Portuguese. There are a couple fixes yet to be done. Unfortunately you’ll be receiving message codes in your real email instead of the actual message content in the meanwhile.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

2. Player sent off 3 times

Currently not, Danilo just told me a few minutes ago he thinks it should. Kinda make sense, an aggressive player would be like a team playing with hard tackling strategy.

Does aggression have any positive effect, like play with more “intent”?

2. Strange results last night in Fast game...

Hi Javier,

We haven’t changed anything in the match simulation recently. I guess this was simply a lucky night for most teams who played at home. The results today were more reasonable, except for the number of 0-0 scores. I used to see that in MediumTicker, Brazil. The truth is sometimes it’s too hard to score. Let’s see how headers (which will be added soon) will behave before changing anything.

Cheers!

Hi all,

Valladolid 2 x 0 Elche
Betis 3 x 0 Espanyol
La Coruña 1 x 0 Valencia
Barcelona 0 x 0 Zaragoza
Almeria 2 x 0 Osasuna
Atletico Madrid 4 x 0 Getafe
Recreativo Huelva 10 x 0 Villarreal
Real Sociedad 0 x 0 Tenerife
Racing Santander 3 x 0 Levante
Real Murcia 1 x 0 Sevilla

And we have even a 10-0!! :)
And have you seen that the games that play the math out of his own stadium couldn’t score a single goal?

Best regards!
Javier. (Faster game: Atletico de Madrid)
