Let’s put it in numbers. For the number of countries we have and taking as an example a country with 20 teams on each of its 2 divisions:
National Cup – starts on turn 7, ends on turn 52
League – starts on turn 18, ends on turn 132
International Cups – start on turn 107, ends on turn 143
With the configuration above I agree that we could move the International Cups so that they’d start a few turns earlier, but if you consider all european countries and one specific countries with 7 divisions we’d have:
National Cup – starts on turn 7, ends on turn 70
League – doesn’t change
International Cups – start on turn 65 (approximately), ends on turn 143
Theoretically the teams playing the national cup finals will start the international cups later, on a more advanced phase (except for weak countries), so you’ll never play 3 competitions simultaneously. If we group all competitions in order to have a proper “summer break” we may end up with some stamina issues for the teams playing in all competitions possible. Changing the stamina issues to make these teams life a little bit easier will make small teams’ life a lot more easier regarding stamina. Oh, one more reason I forgot to mention, but that’s a personal one: I don’t like season breaks and this design let us have at least one competition happening during the whole season.
I’m not saying that’s the way things will work and we won’t change it, I’m just making it clearer why we’ve designed things this way. If you and other users don’t like it please feel free to post your ideias here (like you’re doing) and we’ll take them into consideration. Let’s give it a try. :-)
Cheers.
Gabriel, if i understand you right: the international cups will be played (like e.g. WC) in the summer break. That’s normally the time when players are sold/bought – it’s the planning & preparation phase for the upcoming season.
Why don’t you integrate the internationals in the regular season schedule ?
The international cups will happen at the end of the season, when the national cups have already ended, so you’ll never have more than two competitions at the same time. About stamina improvements we are thinking about giving a stamina boost at the season end and in the middle of the season, as we don’t have proper breaks on these periods. That’s not an immediate change though and is not confirmed yet.
Cheers.
Do you guys will make any improvement or change in the stamina mechanism? Today we have a great physical consuming with two championships running at the same time, and I wonder how is gonna work with the new international cups to come.
Hopefully we’ll have some time to modify the player generation a little bit before the reset.
Cheers.
You’ll probably have time to finish the championship Tiago. Good luck!
International Cups on final testing phase. New dimensions will be created to replace Beta 1 and Beta 2 until the end of the week.
i agree with alexander. i find there are way too many very high quality players being generated from my youth squad.
this was probably happening due to some problem on our server… please inform if this continue to happen! thanks and cheers!
the site is very very slow but i guess that’s you and danilo working things out!
have you changed the way players are generated? i think there are too many great players in the game!
cheers
Hello,
I hope you let this season end for beta 2.. I am leading the england championship and wish to finish it.. in 3 days i should have done it.
if not.. too bad. i am looking forward to train a portuguese team and to beat all of you guys in the international competitions :P
Tiago
I’m almost done with international cups, just need some testing and a couple new screens. So the answer is, in about 2-5 days.
Cheers.
when wil this reset be? just to get an idea …
Good excuse, hahahahahahahahaha.
I don´t believe a word you say!!! (just kidding man, hehehehe)
sure thing. i think it is a good idea to postpone the first tick to the next day, so there will be time for everybody to apply.
when you reset the betas, please warn everyone so we all can apply for the teams we want :) cheers
The explanation is very simple, early in the season we had some problems with the national cup generation and I had to do it manually. Unfortunately I generated the matches in turns where league matches happen, so a few league matches have been rescheduled. The reason these teams have less games is that Nautico had friendlies scheduled for every free turn, making it impossible to reschedule the matches against Botafogo and America-RN. This situation won’t happen in a normal season because league matches will never be rescheduled.
Sorry for that Bretum, these 3 teams will have to end the season with less games than the others.
Cheers.
me too !
in last two league matches it used 3-3-4 and 4-2-4, but my formation is 3-4-3. no injured players and no red card, so why it changed my default formation???
hmm, thats very strange. we will investigate but, anyway, we will probably reset everything very soon.
I´m manager of Botafogo in Beta 2.
I have 27 games played and the others have 28.
América-RN and Náutico have the same problem.
I checked the other teams fixtures (Corinthians and São Paulo) and they have the same number of games left (10 games).
Ok, Obrigado ;)
The safe list is a possibility but right now there is nothing we can do, at least not in a short amount of time. I’m sorry that you have to live with it for now. We’ll have a reset soon and each dimension will have around 300 teams, so you’ll have a lot more places to look for good players. Hope this can compensate somehow :-)
Cheers.
Gabriel, thanks for your answer, but the problem continues…
on the 1st dimension, italian league, half of the players are friends of my work, and i just can’t buy or sell players from them. how can we solve this problem?
maybe could be create a safe list, where each person shoud say who plays with the same IP and each situation, i dont know, that was just a suggestion
Yeah, great battle you guys had! Congratulations!
Too bad I couldn´t really challenge you. Never had my tactics working during the season. Had to settle for the third place. (I don´t think Atalanta will lose their last match and we might have trouble against Palermo at their home ground so I probably won´t get the silver)
Well, I am happy that I at least took the National Cup. Something to celebrate for… :D
I’m not sure we can do that at the MAC address level, we’ll investigate. I agree with you that we have a lot of people playing under the same IP (we also have some co-workers with whom we cannot trade) but unfortunately this restriction is necessary to make cheaters life a little bit harder. And again, we’ll improve that if possible :-)
The Title is for Cagliari in what we can call the Year 1 after Commanche.
I had a very good season. Much better than expected.
It was a great battle with Atalanta which I won in the games against each other.
Hi, i’m having a problem in the game due to the ip address, i play ruby soccer at home and at my job too, so, the problem is that i have a lot of friends of my work that play ruby soccer too, and when we want to sell/buy players from them we just can’t do it, because we have the same IP…
i’ve tried to buy my friend player at home and i have the same problem.
If i may say some suggestion about that, the limitation could be done at the level of IP and MAC adress, it would be much better, because there must be a lot of people playing from the same ip, such as same work place, college, school…
manager ranking and man of the match are definitely on our list. but to win a competition is already a very good money incentive. That money come from the tickets, sponsors, etc.
as for the manager history, the structure is almost ready, we only dont have a screen to show it yet.
very soon we will have all that and the international competitions, in a package that i think will add a good tilt for you guys :).
cheers!
It would be nice to have man of the match, best manager – in results and maybe some math to choose the best according to their players value and results.
This kind of aspects are nice in order to spice up the competition.
Some money incentives when winning competitions or passing rounds in competitions.
Something nice would also have a personal manager history, like championship games won and lost, cup results, all time results…
this is the kind of info i would like to see about my performance in the game without having to look and make my own grid.
Something like a Manager ranking :)
Regards and good work (i will try to have more suggestions)
it is implemented, but not online. we will only upload the changes when everything is done.
