Well, I´d like to know what is the criteria to select the managers for the teams. Yesterday I was the first one to apply a job in Palmeiras (MediumTicker)and I was rejected. A friend of mine was the very first applying a job in Internacional and got rejected too.
Can you guys explain us the criteria you use for this as we are in reseted gameworlds and managers have no historic yet?
OK Thanks I wont be sad.
P.S. Can you hook me up with Internacional again and ill be your bestest friend in the whole wide world.
Alexandre: the european ranking was taken from here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_coefficients , from the “Ranking for 2008-09 UEFA competitions” table.
smithers: Holland will be added next time we add more countries :-)
We deleted Beta 1 and Beta 2 and created two new dimensions LeeHamo. Don’t be sad, it will be fun!
Cheers.
Sure, we’re waiting for our friend Fernando França (aham!) to provide us with an icon for countrry ranking.
Yeah, I noticed that yesterday, I was just too tired to look into it :-)
The missing screen won’t have much information until the next season anyway. Thanks for reporting!
Looking very good!
All compliments to the creators!
One thing:
“As a finishing touch
God created the Dutch”
Keep Holland in mind ;) I would love to play Ajax!
I think it is just a startup. The game now will have a dynamic country ranking. If the spanish teams don´t do good on the international cups, the rank will start to fall. And if italian teams start winning they will go up.
I lost my team why?
Im sooooo gutted.
Hey guys, are you planning to differ the icons of international competitions from the country ranking?
cheers :D
guys, can you explain why Spain has better ranking than Italy? Why England is ahead of Italy? Any explanation?
thanks once again, and cheers!
When you click in one of the countrys in the ranking it gets beast error!
cheers
maybe you should open a topic in announcements telling people they can contribute with interface stuff :)
just a thought.
cheers :D
yeah i understand danilo, i’m no good with this kinda stuff, if i was i would certainly help. I want many things and i dont do nothing, i just play. Well, thats my part of the job right now…
cheers!
:)
well, in this case it would be “design”, not implement :) … and we are both not so good picture makers. at some point ($) we will try to do something (or ask our friend fernando to help us) but, until that, if any of you guys want to help (not only on the map, but with other user interface stuff too), please fell free to e-mail us :) .
our email is admin at rubysoccer.
cheers!
$ => I dont know when that point may be. But I would say not so soon (maybe 2 months), as we have other “more important” (well, the importance of this is relative to you guys, in fact… if a lot of people claim for a map fast, a map we shall have) stuff to work on.
danilo when will you guys implement a map for all the countrys ss style? i no its not important but would give a more professional look to the game :P
cheers
as you may already know, today we had our first reset. I wanted to thank you guys for your support during the “first round” on rubysoccer.
Also, you all are welcome and invited to join our new round! Moreover, we have a larger number of teams, which means that everybody is encouraged to bring friends over (well, we have limits… but for now we are ok :) ).
We hope you guys enjoy RS new features, though there is a lot of stuff to add.
cheers and have fun!
Our first big update is now ready. We have 2 new dimensions: FastTicker (6 ticks per day) and MediumTicker (3 ticks per day), both with the same countries and competitions.
Technical changes:
-database migration from mysql 4 to mysql 5
Improvements:
-enhanced player generation
-4 new countries: Argentina, Portugal, Germany and France
New Features:
-manager history
-international cups: Champions League, UEFA Cup, Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana
Yeah, it is a pity! We won’t have enough countries to make a group phase. The good side is, without the group phase it took less time to develop the whole logic and you’ll be able to enjoy the international cups sooner :-D
oh! im already missing the group phase in champions league :(
Exactly Samir.
The order the teams are processed is random. Lets say you apply for Barcelona, Porto and Real Madrid in that order. If Real Madrid is processed first and you get it, you are out for the rest of the teams. The first you “win” on the ramdom dispute is the one you will get. Right Danilo/Gabriel?
Thank you. And… I will apply for several teams in case I don’t get my preferred. What happens if I apply to several and I am selected to more than one team? Can I choose ?
Reset scheduled for tonight (here in Brazil, GMT -03:00). First turn will last something between 12-24 hours so most of the users have the chance of applying for a team. Any comments on this subject should be posted in the “Improvements Discussion” topic.
Cheers.
The answer to Ricardo’s question “what criteria will be used to prefer a manager against other?” is luck. We find all teams with applications and radomly choose one of them to become the manager. There is no guarantee the first team you applied will be processed first for your applications. In the future we’ll have a more sofisticated way to make this decision, considering manager performance.
Moving the conversation from “Improvements” topic, which is supposed to contain only our announcements :-)

Danilo wants to add a few more things before creating the new dimensions. To be honest I’d prefer to do that today as we have a holiday here on thursday that would postpone the reset until next week when the competitions in the new season of Beta 1 and Beta 2 will already have started. We’ll discuss that and let you guys now, but remember we’ll have about 24 hours before the first tick so everybody have the chance to apply for a team.
Cheers.

this week :). next week, tops. we will announce it 2 days before.
Improvements replied by kardo @ Tue, 13 Nov 2007 07:23:03 -0700
Is there already a date defined for new dimensions?
When can we know? I want to stay tuned. :)"
Portugal only has 16 teams in each division. The majority of leagues has 20 to 22. What will we see in Portugal? 2 Divisions with 16, 22 or 3 Divisions. This game has many portuguese people, I think that 2 divisons of 16 teams will not be enought. :)
The aging stuff is a different subject, we can change that even if we don’t change the game to use real dates :-)
We’ll try your way gabriel, of course. But, as I mentioned previously, I rather prefer the game with real dates, real winter breaks, real summer breaks, and real dates of international competitions and cups. I would love to see players not aging all in the first turn!
I dont want you to interpretate this as many complains, I will play the game as it is, but this would be my choice.
cheers!
I would say, to use the same tatic and make the right substitutions, if the team squad is not complete before the match. Sometimes this is annoying… :)
Others ideias…
- the contract clauses: relegation, big club or a clause fee to pay.
- as said befora: “save as”-button for tactics
- after proposing a new contract, we lose control of the negotiation, i.e., if the player accepts the contract, he his automatically in our team. For example: I want to buy a player, but probably I will make several offers to several players, because some of the negociations will fail… but if all that offers are accepted I will have a lot of players in my team.
