Don’t know if this was already suggested but I think it would be better if the International competitions and national cup’s maches was scheduled for the long of the season, so we would have 3 competitions roling at the same time. It would be more realistic and fun so managers would have to make many more changes on their squads.

I think this is on your plans, but the suggestion is here anyway :D

To be honest that was not on our plans, but it is possible (at least with the number of teams we have now) and could make things a little more interesting. We’ll discuss that. Anybody else has something to say about this?

Cheers!

I think International Cups could run during the second part of the season.

That’s how it works now Fabrizio, I mean, if we had more countries in the game :-)

Cheers!

I’d like to see it running both at the same time, i’m just not sure how i’d like to see it done lol.
I’m not sure how many rounds there are in each cup, and right now i keep getting an error while trying to log in so i can’t check it out, but let’s say it’s 6… we could have something like this:

Week 1 – NC L1
Week 2 – NC L2
Week 3 – R
Week 4 – IC L1
Week 5 – IC L2
Week 6 – R

NC – National Cup
IC – International Cup
L1-L2 – 1st and 2nd Leg
R – Rest

With each round taking 6 weeks, in 36 weeks both cups would end, *3 turns it means 108 turns out of 144 possible. If we take out the 1st and last month of the season (well, there aren’t matches then anyway), we have it running through 108 out of 120 ticks, which is pratically the whole season. Take a 1 month break in the middle of the season and we have 108 out of 108. :)

How does that sound? We could have 2 weeks of rest instead of taking out months, but that would mean we’d only play for each cup every 2 months…

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…

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!

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
