In the “basic and squad” page, the squad players are indicated by bold colour.
can we also use a different colour to indicate the substitute players… sometimes its too tedious to go back and forth to the strategies page to check the substitutes…

Arsenal as a club…
France as a country (since my country barely plays any international football)…

well, i just copy the data and use excel manually to monitor the growth… a tiresome process, but then have learnt to live with..

yah gab, i should have waited for this match before speaking up… and i have now realised how much of a difference one good player can make… :(
my best defender got injured within 10 minutes and i lost the home game 5-2.

Gab,
any changes to the skill point or something in home/away matches…
suddenly the score line has become like before… those “away” thrashings have faded now…

All of a sudden my players are increasing their value by more than a million for just a single skill point increase.

or is it that they are entering that phase where their value increases astronomically…???

how about using display name for reporters… sometimes i myself might be reporting my own game:( sounds quite weird at those situations when the manager (in the article) talks to himself and reports to the newspaper…:)

(we can always change our display names and they are different from the name we use as managers…)

Match rating of players is not exactly absolute, but relative to the quality of opposition being played, since the last changes. (check the improvements forum, page no 8). Player rating is based on the quality of opposition you have faced. The better the quality of your opposition, the better valuation they get and vice versa…

But then a better value for a lower skill player is always desirable.
It is a difficult decision to make, but then common sense always says us to pick the better player…

But player selection is a tough job and would depend on Away/Home and opposition quality, + no of competitions you are entered in etc.
For eg,
in my case if i was playing “away” against an opposition whom i had no chance of winning, i would field the lower skill player ensuring they get match exposure, and if my opponent is someone who i can beat, i would play my best players, to ensure i get all the points. This might not be the best way, but then no one is sure which one is:)

hmm… maths should be correct but the interpretation could be a lil bit different.
i guess a youth player now has 20% less chance of developing into a star… ( is that any different from what u said, literally yes, but then i am no linguist;) )

alexander, it is in their system enhancement list. Something similar had been suggested some time back too…

i personally find it difficult to follow the commentary and game simultaneously at 1X speed. would be of great relieve to me…

Can we have match replay at 1/2x or 1/4x speed?
i wonder who watches the replay at 3X or 4X speed and understands anything going on except the score?

if it is not possible then, i would once again ask not to erase the commentary but provide it in a scrolling list below replay screen, which we should not be able to copy or take offline from the system?
(i remember this commentary issued was raised before too, and i believe if the match speed is reduced, we can read the commentary before it is erased and follow the match screen too).

i would also like to ask the relevance of this newspaper heading: “Bore draw leads to winning streak!?
How can a draw extend your winning streak?
it might extend your “not losing streak” (or however you define it) but a winning streak…

gab, i found that:) my away game against getafe got on the headlines for those reasons you just stated. but i think proper articles are not being selected for the kind of matches. Levante led Getafe ( home game for getafe) for almost 80% of the game, but at the end lost 4-3 to Getafe. I am sure Getafe must have fielded second string players, but then levante did have its fair share of suspensions to most important players.

I am not complaining about my teams loss, but just saying that we can improve the kind of articles being selected based on the result. The article selected was something like " Getafe didn’t have any problem in beating levanted by 4X3 as expected". I think the kind selected were “Match Result As Expected” and “Score were as expected”, but should have been more like “Match Result As Expected” and “Small Positive Difference”. If the selection was correct then, may be we are making mistakes in writing articles. Something like phishing, where our function add(a,b) actually performs the subtraction operation.

i think submitting more articles is the only way forward.

i would say if you r going to try the new idea, it would be sensible to look at philipp’s idea, at least for the quarters… after that… it should just be a lucky draw…

for those small articles on the top how about displaying only specific no of characters for other articles and an additional link ( for eg more) that would open the whole article. that would make them of uniform size in the front page

EDIT: why is this html formatting not working in forum:S

i know:) :P well… three kinds of templates for three kinds of spaces… i believe there will be some more changes in the overall structure in the coming days…
i was actually saying about those spaces below the published articles … unpublished spaces will be covered as we go full fledged:)

Quality of articles will improve as time passes by… I am sure more suggestion will appear in the future as ppl get fed up of similar articles everyday…
But i think we could do something more about the space available in the newspaper. Most of the space for seems to have gone waste… Or is it just me who thinks so???

i just want the final column at the end to be points column…
well… if you could put percentage inside the brackets, that could stop confusing us… but i am not sure how the design would look like???

“Levante has made a transfer proposal for Gustavo Diane. " From “Assistant”

What should i understand from this message… i don’t want to transfer list the player, but it seems the board wants me to do so ???

EDIT : May be you were making some system changes, everytime i offer him a new contract, i get that message… i think this message is not necessary during the contract renewals…

seems pretty fair when u look at it from qualitative perspective, but then if you look from the country perspective, things don’t look good.

gab, i know it will be difficult to have just one team from one country in a group (in the current qualitative group formation scenario), but how about trying to ensure that there are no more than two teams from the same country in a group… three is a bit too harsh…
