Added ground maintenance to team expenses. It’s the first step towards all stadiums reduction and the possibility to increase the number of seats.

Cheers!

now we have logos, nice. but how about some more graphics for the team info page …

what do you think about a trophy cabinet/showcase:
– golden star for each national league title (1/2 star for 2nd place)
– Cup-image for every national cup won (small cup for finalists)
– same for CL, Libertadores,Copa Sudamericana and UEFA

same for the managers info page … – icons maybe added by the national flag for the trophys

Makes sense… I didn’t figure that because the error message used to be different. Thanks!

Your feedback is very important Renaud! I guess the economy is the way it is because teams don’t have other things to spend money with. I was planning to reduce all stadiums to 10,000 (probably with a compensation for poor teams) and start charging for ground maintenance (not much, of course). That would decrease dramatically everybody’s income and make people spend money in increasing the number of seats in their stadiums.

Answering your question, I think you should stay, specially to help us making a more balanced, interesting and fun game for everybody!

Cheers!

The crazy wages with transfers are a problem indeed. I don’t know what you can do about it.

But for good youth you just need some luck. I had 2 seasons without one very good youth player and at the moment I have 2 80+ youth players. One already has a contract now.

Impossible to buy 1 good player in the game without paying a crazy wage
Impossible to have a good young in youth academy
Then impossible to have a better team and to have some projets to improve my team

And now ?? Should I stay or should I go ??

I don’t want to critic your work but I just want to say what I feel

mostly is because you are trying to buy a player from a friend that access the internet thru the same network you do. We had to make that against our rules for a greater good, sorry.

Thanks.

Team logos added to the team info screen. Their size is something around 25×25 to fit in our design, more than that would be too large. We hope everybody like this new addition, I’ve had a hard time finding, resizing and adding transparency to all logos. :-)

Please let us know if you see a logo that doesn’t correspond to the team.

Cheers!

Wow, I’ve just finished reviewing ALL team info screens and you guys have already posted positive opinions here. That’s great, sounds like it was worth the effort! :-)

About the size Alexandre, I know they pretty small, but believe me, larger than that would not look good in our design, specially when most icons are 20×20.

Anyway, let us know what you think about this new addition and of course, let us know if any logo is wrong.

Cheers!

cheers

Well, what we can do is create a competition only for donators but without any influence on the rest of the game (of course that their players would gain experience, but that can be achieved playing friendlies too…). Let me put it in this way: a group of friendlies that would have a non-history-registered champion (well, only registered in the forums :)).

What do you guys think? I dont see that as an advantage, its more like a “thank you” club with some matches only for fun. Enough said, lets hear your opinion on the subject.

cheers!

Please don’t!!!
It’s exactly as you said “donators do not have any advantage (which is good)”.
Keep it good guys…
My opinion… Cheers…

A loan clause would solve this. Something to help control the agreement between the two managers. Will discuss with Gabriel.

cheers

Gabriel, don’t get your example – to be honest …

But i would like to be considered: Whenever i call back a loaned player to my team, there was a reason. The main reason is that the the manager who loaned the player didn’t stick with what he commited: The (youth) player gets match-practise in almost every game. So why should i pay a punishment (fee) for the dishonorable party when i protect (the development of) my player ?! i don’t wanna support managers without sportmenship and fairplay.

it should be differentiate between calling back a playing and selling a player (during a loan) – for the last instance i would agree with a “fee”

If the IC starts at the beginig of the season and the NC ends at the end of season it would be the same number of maches but with more space between each competition phase. This way we only know the winner of all 3 compt at the end of season, like it hapens in real life.

I also like that way Gabriel Cesario, but I would prefer the real way :D

Hi,

since you’re having some trouble in getting donations and we could have servers with more perfomance. And to keep rubysoccer totally free and even the donators do not have any advantage (which is good) I will propose the folllowing:

Maybe you can create a Donators Cup or RubySoccer Cup, only donators managers can participate. The winner could have a good reward or have direct access to Champions League or something else. The minimum of donation to enter in this league could be 5$.

What do you think about it?
Ca’mon guys, they’re working for free and we could have a faster server. 5$ is not that much.

BEAST is the provider of our forums and we use their error page :-)

Anyway, the error should be fixed by now.

If we have those Rests you’ve added Ricardo we won’t have room for all IC matches when lots of european countries are added. CL for instance will need 19 dates when all phases are there (2 for Q1, 2 for Q2, 2 for Q3, 6 for the group phase, 2 for the round of 16, 2 for the quarter finals, 2 for the semifinals and 1 for the final. That’s the plan we have now for CL when we have all european countries:

Round – Turns
Q1 – 68, 71
Q2 – 77, 80
Q3 – 86, 89
Groups – 95, 98, 101, 104, 107, 110
Round of 16 – 116, 119
Quarter finals – 125, 128
Semi finals – 134, 137
Final – 143

National cups for countries with lots of divisions will take 8 rounds to end, so 15 dates. That’s the plan:

First round – 7, 10
Round of 128 – 16, 19
Round of 64 – 25, 28
Round of 32 – 34, 37
Round of 16 – 43, 46
Quarter finals – 52, 55
Semi finals – 61, 64
Final – 70

As you can see, if a team reach the finals in such a country and is qualified for Q1 in CL he’ll have to play 5 official matches in a row (68-CL, 69-League, 70-Cup final, 71-CL and 72-League). I know that is not likely to happen, just want to show you that we already have a tight schedule in our plans to avoid 3 matches for week for teams playing in all 3 types of competitions. Now that everybody have the numbers it is easier to give suggestions :-)

Cheers!

Ricardo, if you call back a player you’ll have to pay the other team the number of turns left for the loan to end times the loan wage, in other words, 3 times the amount of wage the loaned player would receive from the loan team. So your example is exactly what happens except that this value is not what team B would pay in wages, but 3 times this value, as wages are paid every 3 turns.

Cheers!

I think you would be able to trade by now Ricardo. We have in our plans something to make the restriction expire when someone has not used a specific machine or network for a certain period.

Cheers.

I think we don’t need to change the league maches. The IC/NC could run in the middle of them. They could start some ticks after the begining of the league and end some after it ends(4 ticks for NC and 8 for IC)

Also think there could be some other competitions in the end of season. Maybe friendly competitions…

I am still preparing our formations screen to receive the new “advanced” stuff. But, in the meanwhile, I have a few bonuses for you guys:

- Rotated the field: left/right player positions are now easily identified (this will be useful in a near future ;) )
- A little more speed to drag and drop.
- Reviewed the IE/Firefox alignment, mainly around the field area. Everybody should have a better experience now.

You must be kidding us… I entered there to check our competition and could see 2 things:

1) the game is using icons that were developed by us (mail,formations, world icon…)
2) the developer did not ask our permission to do that

Well, anyway, I prefer rubysoccer ;). Good luck for the other dev, though! I will see if i can email him but, if you have the chance, can you please communicate that our permission would be nice before using our stuff there?

cheers!

ps: also tell the guy that he used the “full” mailbox icon for the situation where you have no mail…

Yes, you will have a compensation in that case, Ricardo. Gabriel coded that part and its very late now (time to sleep), so I will check tomorrow how does that work and tell you in this topic.

cheers!
