Everytime I log in, I click “FastTicker” and it redirects me to a page that tells me the following:

“Oops! It looks like there was an error. Please try again (this may be related to a server restart / high load).”

Logging out and logging in over and over, it always ends that way. What can be happening?

Cheers :)

Official UEFA rules:

Victory = 2 points
Draw = 1 point
Loss = 0 points

Advancing to next phase = 1 point (I guess this one is valid only for CL and Libertadores)

On what basis the points of the country ranking were given?

For example
My team (Genoa) has 13.0 and played the final in the CL
Recreativo Huelva has 14.0 and played the semi final against the CL-winner

What is your logic behind these points.

Cheers

Sorry guys!

Now I don’t remember if penalties are currently being applied or if they will start next season.

Cheers!

Just the number of matches. If after a match you see a player improving much more than he used to it is likely that he has reached his maximum potential. That’s the only situation he would improve more, but again, no matter what kind of match or opponent.

Cheers!

On what conditions the intensity of a players improvement depends on?

Is it …
type of match (CL> league > friendly)
or strength of the opponent (team with ~90 > ~80> ~70)
or just the number of matches played (no matter with kind)?

Can a player improve to a 90shooter if he only plays friendlies against minor teams (~73)?

Great! Thanks Gabriel!!

I have no problem with the AI using the best player at the position, even if it’s the wrong “side”.

I’d much rather have that, than have it changing my formation, or changing my setup.

Cheers!

You can access the last match replay from your team info screen using the new replay button to the right of the match. This way you can wath the replay without previsously knowing the result (if you have the show recent result option turned off in your settings).

Cheers!

Don’t worry Dave, I’ve just added a partial fix for that :-)

By partial I mean that we’ll try to replace the unavailable player by someone from the same position exactly where that player was supposed to be, but we won’t guarantee the picked player will have the right side to fit in that position. It’s better if I give an example.

suppose you had a player on M L 0…if you have any midfielders available (our logic for now doesn’t consider AM and DM as midfielders, even though they are) we pick the one with greatest passing, no matter if his side is L, C or R. If no midfielders are available, the logic will work as it was previously, putting someone in the attack or defense.

It’s still needs improvements, but at least I could do a partial fix relatively fast ;-)

Cheers!

ps. I don’t mean to be nit-picky about the game… it is still a really fun game.

cheers!

It’s funny though… in the preceding game…2 of my players got injured (which caused the 244 problem in the follwoing game).

In the game where the players got hurt, both injuries occurred to “C” players, playing in the middle. The replacements were a “R” mid for the injured “C” mid. And a “L” def for the “C” def. Both replacements remained in the central positions (where I want them).

So, it works properly for replacing players DURING the game… it only changes formations if players are unavailable BEFORE starting a game.

I would imagine it is needed (and GOOD) to do that for the managerless teams. But if a team is managed, and has a valid default formation… that formation should be used.

grrr…. did it to me again! I go from my nice compact little 343, to a completely spread 244?? (not a 442… a 244!!!) It’s a wonder I only lost by 1 goal!

(I really think we need to fix this one guys…)

cheers!

The AI is still changing formations when a player is not available to play a game.

I am fine with the AI substituting the “best available” player at a position… best tackler for a D, best passer for a M, best shooter for an A…

the AI should NEVER change my formation, OR how my formation is setup. NEVER. NEVER EVER EVER!!!!!

Just put in a player to replace the one that can’t play… and leave my formations alone!!!

hmm, we will chew this up a little bit. but there is a workaround. if you use ctrl+click or just click in the link with the mouse wheel, a new tab will be opened for the player. it is not exactly the same but it sure helps.

cheers

I think it would be better if the hotlist opened in a separate window.
Imagine you want to check how 10 different players are doing. The way it is now it would require a lot more clicking (either the hotlist icon or back/forward) than if you had other window with the list, where you could just click on the player and then watch him in the main one.

Cheers.

are you talking about replays generated in ticks that ran today? because if not, the solution test was not implemented yet.

I think the problem is my keeper because I can watch friendlies (Magalhães doesn’t play these matches)

Cheers!

Players, managers and teams can now be added to your hotlists. This works like bookmarks and help you keeping an eye on players and teams of interest, managers who are your friends or rivals in the game and so on. To add a player, manager or team in your hotlists just go to the correspondent info page and use the new “Add to hotlist” icon beside the player/manager/team name. The icon will then be changed to the “Remove from hotlist” icon. To view your hotlist use the new “Hotlists” option in the menu, right below “The Board” option.

Have fun!

I’m not sure that your keeper’s name is the problem but I guess you’re right, Torres, we should remove all strange characters to isolate any other problem we may have.

Cheers!

Hi

I still can’t watch my match replays. Don’t you think it would be a good idea delete all strange characters till the encoding problem is solved?

I can’t watch any game because of my goalkeeper Leandro Magalhães.

Cheers

The skills used by the keeper right now are keeping, speed and passing, keeping being the most important. The use of passing is the same as for the other players, we consider that when the player passes the ball to a teammate. In the future we plan to make speed and control have more influence in the keeper’s defenses.

Cheers!

Which skills will affect a keeper now (or in the future) beside keeping off course. Speed but also control or passing??

Cheers

Another “hidden” improvement: I have adopted an alternate solution for our encoding problems. This will fix our match replay (for the not working cases) and will also dramatically improve the official games tick time (will only be able to check out the improvement in numbers on our next big tick, but i am sure you will all notice).

cheers!

the filter/order options were discussed here once. we are being careful about that because we dont want to ruin the fun of finding a good player on your own, like a star hunter.
search on other countries for what?

cheers!

Hi

One question I always had: how keeping and speed affect a keeper? From this keepers, who would be best:
- keeper A with keeping 85 and speed 70
- keeper A with keeping 80 and speed 75
- keeper A with keeping 75 and speed 85

Thanks

- Add more filter options, like player position, skills/value/salary intervals.
- Order by player’s skills.
- Show a table with your team’s players for comparisson purpose (when you click a player).
- Search on others countries.
