Bogotá went crazy on turn 140 when Equidad surprised everyone by beating the favourite side Reading in the Club World Cup final with a great skill display to go with it. The club has raised from nothing to first class in the last 3 seasons, thanks to the great work done by manager Gabriel Cesário both on the hiring and strategy side.
“I can only thank the supporters and the players for giving everything they had in every match. We won everything this season and I’m already looking forward to next season where we’ll try our best to be at the top again. I had some good job offers to consider but I can’t just leave Equidad after all the good things we’ve been through.” – Gabriel
Before Gabriel joined Equidad the club’s best achievements were being runner-up of Copa Colombia once, quarter finalists in the Copa Sudamericana and reaching the round of 16 in Libertadores. Gabriel won Primera B in his starting season followed by the Primera A title and all titles in the current season. “We hope he never leaves!” – said an enthusiastic supporter after the Club World Cup final.
Yes, that’s a very good point. I’ll make sure it is not missed :-)
When morale is implemented, will this also be tied into being able to have larger squad sizes?
If you miss the flags in the team players screen you can go to your settings and check the new option to have them displayed by default so you don’t have to click the hide/show flags option every time. Regarding the star players feature I forgot to mention in the announcements here that every player has a natural star factor that may slightly increase or decrease his chances of becoming a star. At the moment this natural star factor will very rarely be fundamental to the player’s star fate, but it will help bring them up or down a little bit.
What’s next, I wonder? Could Gabriel be finally working on the player morale system? I bet he wouldn’t even tell if he was!
Hum, interesting. I’ve sent a message to America’s manager who happens to be a friend and work colleague, let’s see how this happened. Thanks for reporting Dimitri!
Just a small bug, no big deal, but I’ll report it anyway. I hardly play friendlies anymore, but I got an invitation in FT. When I went to the invitations screen I didn’t see it, neither was there a message that the invitation was withdrawn.
From: América-RN
Subject: Friendly Invitation
América-RN has invited us for a friendly match.
Go to your invitations page in order to accept or reject it.
MediumTicker also unlocked, no extra ticks there.
FastTicker unlocked, it ticked one extra time in the process.
We know dimensions are stuck, Danilo is on it. We thought we had fixed the problem with player name encoding and put the old names back, clearly the problem is still there :-P
@Fabio: yes they are :-)
@Dimitri: it’s probably an easy thing to do, added our task list
Hidden flags by default is fine, but I like to see them, and I notice that I have to click show flags again and again. It is possible to have it work like a switch (on/off) and/or a setting?
Never mind, just saw a gold star…those are very rare, apparently :-)
Fun stuff!
I can’t tell the difference between bronze and gold (or have not seen a gold star yet) though
Not exactly, the flags are now hidden by default instead of displayed by default. If you click the hide/show flags link on the right hand side they will be displayed. Personally I don’t want to always see the flags, not until player nationality has some effect on the team overall.
I see that the stars have replaced the national flags in the players screen?
I know, the issue is we started to talk about morale when we were out of motivation and didn’t have time to work on RubySoccer and it has dragged along since then. Now that we are back continuously working on the game it will be for real. I’m just adding some finishing touches to the star player system and then we’ll move on to properly design and implement morale.
Used to be Ternana’s Manager. AAAahhhhhh those days…
When will morale be implemented, you have been speaking of this for years. Is it still talk or is it being worked upon?
This is in our list but not as top priority. As a minimum I’d say we need to add player morale and a better player evolution model before considering enhanced player stats and awards. I mean, we may add bits and pieces of it here and there as we do other features, but the full thing as you described will take a bit longer.
Any news here?
Stars will rise next season! Even though there are minor tweaks to be done I consider this feature ready even if I don’t complete said tweaks before the season tick. We’ll announce the next major feature being worked on in the next few days.
Cheers!
good to hear :)
Soccersim was a great game under Peter, its just sad that its now a Pay to Play game and current managers who havent/cant pay are being forced out :(
be nice to have his contact info atm…..
Keeper 1 has the better weighted average for keeping/speed and keeping/header, but keeper 2 has a much higher value. Not only that, the average rating of keeper 2 is much higher (while he plays away games and keeper 1 the home games).
I do wonder how important passing is for a keeper.
Good. Let,s see/try..:)
Really looking forward to this! Bring it on!
Personally I think there need to be more things added to the game that keep me wanting to play. At the minute, there is virtually nothing to do once you have picked the team, this doesn’t seem right to me for a management game.
The logic for the star player system is almost completely implemented, except for a couple of screens and the performance boost during matches. I’m having some last minute doubts about how to do this one but luckily it will be easy to change if I get it wrong the first time.
Agreed. That reminds me that the player morale system is not there yet and this is blocking a lot of other nice features. After the star player system it will be either player morale or a reformulation of the player evolution model which has clearly become predictable and mostly flat.
