True but their certainly isnt any players in england on ruby that remotely come close to the skills of rooney, owen, lampard, beckham, terry, gerrard, downing, to name a few.

I still think england has been under rated even if there isnt any foreigners.

I reckon england should have a bigger skill rating than 7 under brazil, it just doesnt seem realistic and the other leagues do.

Might be a stumbling block when more and more english people play this game.

I imagine there is gonna be a big debate about this in the future.

the drag and drop stuff are auto-save transactions. if you are using IE, you will only see what is happening if you refresh the screen manually.

Shouldn’t there be a “Save this formation”-Button? I only have “create” (below “My formation”) and “update” (below “tactics”) …
How am i able to save changes ?

In the beginning we planned to have national squads, but this ideia has been put aside. We’ll only add them in the future if we think they won’t conflict with what we have now, we don’t plan to add them as we had on MS, not manageable.

Here you can see an alternative for using a 4-4-2 diamond:

For the 3-4-3 diamond you’d have to unbalance your defense or attack sides, if you know what I mean.

I remember that in soccersim, that was a bad idea. (since you could manipulate some stuff very easyly), but I wouldnt say the same in here….

IE doesnt work properly on this screen. also, please note that each zone column may have only one player, that is why one disappears when you put the second.

the idea is to have at most 5 players per region. if you want a “diamond” tactic, you may use more than 1 zone to do it.

ps: by zone i mean attack, midfield and defense.

i just cant manage to do a 3-4-3 each time i put a offensive midfielder the defensive one disapears and vice-versa also i had to use a defensive sweeper formation because the defender kept going out. i know this is just beta but it must be improved, can anyone see the squares ? i cant.

im using ie…… isnt there anyway that it might work in ie?

the team belongs to a country, and the country is the most important factor on the team quality average.

if compared to real life football nowadays its wrong , but taken into account that the premiership starts with no foreign players then its spot on ……. imagine in real life taking all foreign players out of the premiership … the premiership wouldnt be the best league in the world if that would happen.

Are you using Internet Explorer? Cause our drag and drop screen works very poorly on IE. Try it on Firefox. About the positions, we have 5 available positions for each zone (D, M, A), each of these positions has 3 mentalities (defensive, normal and offensive). You can have only one player at a specific position, even if you try to put another one in a different mentality (different row for the same column in the zone), the previous one will be removed.

I don’t know, maybe I confused you even more :D

Check our wiki, hope you’ll find the answers there: http://www.rubysoccer.com/mediawiki/index.php/Ruby_Soccer

About the 12×0 and 10×0 results, AI teams put their best players even on friendlies and their opponents in those matches didn’t do this, that may explain the results. But I agree that less goals would still be more realistic.

I’d say that those two features (strategies and match engine) are top priority, but take a little longer to be improved. The number of fouls is very low, maybe when we make that more realistic the number of shots will be reduced. By the way, nobody shoots a fould directly to the goal right now. In the meanwhile we’ll try to implement other important but easy features as you mentioned.

Just a funny thing, during our testing we had Albnia as one of the countries, but the players sucked, much more than on MS (skills around 10 or 20). A friendly between an albanian team and a brazilian one ended up 71-0 for the brazilian team :D

yes i agree. i was looking at some fixtures and noticed something quite odd.

in brazil div1 the only CPU team left in that div. i looked at the teams first two games and realized they won both games 12×0 and 10×0. thats kinda far fetched. on top of that, they took 44 shots… now i know it doesn’t compare to my 45shots that i just got this past tick :P but that seems kinda far fetched as well.

i also agree that ratings are definitely either too high or way too low. (from 10.0 to 0.1)

I was about to talk about the game engine, but i wasn’t sure where to put it (bugs or suggestions) as i’m sure you guys are aware that it needs tweaking. Browsing random matches i found a friendly between Bilbao and Barcelona where Bilbao had 41 shots lol. Im not saying it’s impossible, but it’s kinda unrealistic.
Player’s ratings have already been adressed, and they’re way too high. A couple of 10’s per match wouldn’t be that bad, even though imho it should only be used in some special cases.
Reading the “2 results for the same match” thread i got aware of the 6-0 that turned into a 10-0. Scores like that happen, i’m not denying it, but they’re rare, and usually are between a “Manchester-like” team against amateurs. We only have 2 divisions in each country here, so it seems way off to me.

I’m not sure where your main focus is right now in what matters to improvements, but besides the stuff that takes only a couple of minutes to implement, i think you should focus on the tactics and match engine. That’s what makes a football game great, after all. :)

Just my 2 cents.
Cheers.
