Don’t worry Carlos, the “2 turns left” appeared due to the price change. Every time you change the player price there is a 3 turns wait so that managers have time to see your change in the transfer list. He won’t negotiate with managers offering less than the price you asked and any manager bidding on your player will receive a message when you change the price.
Cheers!
Hard decision, to cut or not to cut :-)
Cutting out second divisions:
+room for more countries without having cpu managing most teams
+we’d stick with a good number of teams in the league
-would probably require a reset
-small teams wouldn’t have the challenge to avoid relegation
Cutting first divisions in two and remove second divisions:
+we’d still have the challenge of avoiding relegation
+room for more countries without having cpu managing most teams
-could also require a reset as some second division teams have managers
-leagues would have just a few matches, so you could end up with long periods without official matches
Let’s keep this discussion rolling for a while.

Dave, I’m glad you came back to check our game and decided to stay due to our improvements. I’m pretty sure that if all those who left the game (cause it was still too simple and not bug free in the beginning) came back as you did we’d have a lot more users and wouldn’t be discussing a way to add more countries without having lots of cpu teams, we’d be simply adding the new countries :-)
Cheers!
We have a newspaper in our plans and all this stuff will be included. First we need to plan how to add information to this newspaper and then what to add. I agree it will be interesting as an easy way to check what’s going on in your country. :-)
Cheers!
Get ready for Club World Cup! Starting this season the winners of Champions League and Libertadores will play against each other to decide who is the best team in the world. There is currently no prize for the winner, but the ticket income on this Club World Cup match will be $2.000.000 for each team.
Unfortunately I think unsatisfied people won’t read these messages :-(
I’d be great if we could fill these countries! Danilo’s latest changes have reduced the tick time to a level where we have room for more countries.
Cheers!
Well, at least that’s a way to make older players lose some value, maybe when their attributes starts decreasing as they become old we can make the injuries less frequent :-)
I think it’s something worth trying . I’ll work with Danilo to figure out the better way to do that.
Cheers!
International competition matches have been rescheduled to happen 6 turns earlier. This will make them end on turn 137, giving room for a Club World Cup match on turn 143 between the Champions League winner and the Libertadores winner. This is not implemented yet but should be added soon.
Any friendly matches scheduled for the turns when the international matches will now take place have been cancelled.
There will be new leagues added to rubysoccer musti, that’s for sure. The question is when is it going to happen, cause right now we have most teams controlled by cpu on both dimensions. What we could do to add new countries right away is remove all second divisions from the game, this would allow us to add like 4 european and 2 south american countries. Of course this would require a reset. If more people would like that to happen we can create a new poll topic to decide whether or not this should be done.
Cheers!
You’re right Leonardo, but I’ve just had an ideia…after implementing the Clubs World Championship I’ll use that to give a weigth to each continental competition and make an worldwide ranking instead of two continental rankings. That should be interesting :-)
No Polat, youth quality has to do with the team’s country performance on international cups and the team’s division. Generating better youths based on ranking could be unfair, as a team playing in an “easier” league with lots of CPU teams would usually have a better performance and get better youths even if this team is from a small country or a lower division.
You can now see the teams ranking (using the same “flag” icon in the menu). If you had managed only one team since we began all this ranking stuff your team will be in the same position as you. In the future we’ll use this ranking to define cup matches.
It’s almost pure lucky. Almost because in the first round I pick only team in the second division…randomly :-)
In the future we can use a better criteria, like the one you mentioned. Sounds interesting.
We were doing some performance tests, MediumTicker is back, FastTicker is 1 hour late but will be back to normal after next tick.
Cheers!
Answering your question Polat, trades are not possible at the moment. We could add this option and require some kind of approval before the trade is completed, either by me and Danilo or by users with Dimension administrator rights (we’ll probably have something like that in the future).
Cheers!
I think I know the reason…fixing that right away! Thanks for reporting.
Cheers!
Interesting suggestion, could work :-)
Well, players under their real value are not a problem, you’re right Hugo, we can let everybody bid for underpriced players, but when we talk about overpriced players the thing is a little bit different. We’ll find out a way to watch overpriced transfers between same ip managers and let the ones with a fair price or underpriced without any restrictions. Makes sense to me.
Cheers!
He was used as a goalie, at least on this match:

Should be fixed JD, thanks for reporting.
Cheers!
I’ll talk to Danilo and we’ll consider the different opinions here. Whether the solution will be a downloadable spreadsheet, scouts or a better search engine I don’t know yet, but we’re lacking something on this area.
Cheers!
You have a good point Dave, we’ll do something about it, for sure.
Cheers!
Maybe we should allow that if the value is fair, now that we have more restrictive rules around transfers it’s a possibility. By fair I mean something around the estimated value, like from half to twice the estimated value.
Wait a second, the youth quality has nothing to do with the team quality, it only takes in consideration the country and division of the team he belongs to, not if the team already has good players in the main squad. Just wanted to make that clear :-)
About the 98 keeper, it is a huge exception, as thorpedo said there are not much 90+ players right now. The manager was just very lucky to get this one.
Cheers!
Sounds interesting, we’ll discuss that and see what we can do.
Cheers!
Damn! I thought I’ve solved this one…sorry for that guys, apparently I was wrong :-P
Sounds good Toni, it would be good to add the country information to the user, we currently don’t have it. :-)
Cheers!
Supercup sounds like an interesting ideia. Let’s see how can we handle that. About the international cup between the two continental champions, it’s definitely on our plans!
Cheers!
We’ll have to investigate thorpedo. Thanks for reporting.
Cheers!
We have plans on that, they’re called scouts! Did you think you’d get that for free? ;-)
Cheers!
