No Alexandre, we have not implemented anything similar to that yet, but it is certainly a very good feature to the future.

Cheers.

Nice, I’ll work on this sorting stuff now that we have filters on this screen. As we displayed everything before we defaulted the screen to be sorted by transfer amount, which doesn’t make sense to free transfers or loans for instance :-)

Cheers.

The transfers page now has a filter in the top left corner. By default, only regular transfers are displayed.

Cheers.

Better late than never! My new year’s gift is now ready to be used: LOANS!

Managers can now loan list their players or make loan proposals to loan listed players. Loan negotiations may take 3 turns (transfers will behave in a similar way in the future), so even after you’ve made a reasonable proposal it may not be processed next turn. You’ll know the number of turns left in the negotiations screen.

When more than one loan proposal exist for the same player, the following criterias will be used: highest loan wage percentage, longest loan period, “weakest” team (in terms of players average).

You will be able to call a loaned player back or break a loan contract, but in order to do that you must pay the other involved team a certain amount depending on how many turns are left in the loan contract.

The transfers and loans screen can now be filtered to display transfers (default), free transfers, loans or all.

I expect to have left only minor bugs in all these new features, but we never now, there is a lot of code there! Let us know if you see anything strange or have any questions or comments. I hope you enjoy :-)

Cheers.

Sorry JD, something seems to be wrong with some users, we’ll have to investigate that a little further. You may be able to negotiate with that player cause I have cleaned some records again, but there is no guarantee. We’ll keep an eye on your records while trying to figure out the problem.

Cheers.

We have plans for that but it probably won’t happen this season yet, sorry :-(

JD, is that player from a team managed by someone you know?

We’ve changed some infrastructure stuff last week and some users where mistakenly considered to be playing under the same network or computer. That was already fixed, but some records were still wrong in our database, I’ve deleted them now, so you should be able to make the offers now. Let us know if it happens again.

Cheers.

I was thinking of it these days (really!), where could I add more flags. International cups and rankings screens seems to be the best place, since they’re finally being used on FastTicker :-D

I’ll add that to our list.

Cheers and thanks for the suggestion Alexandre.

No, it is not, unless javascript is disabled on your browser. Is it?

It wasn’t me, I’ve got Flamengo on turn 123 :-)

Happy New Year!

That happened cause we’re using the brazilian rules for all countries, so the first criteria is number of victories, but we’ll change that in the future to have specific rules for each country.

Cheers.

Thanks Jorge, you figured that out. Shouldn’t happen again, please let me know if it does.

Cheers.

Cheers and Merry Christmas!

I’ll add this feature to our list right away!

Cheers! Merry Christmas!

Nice suggestion about the “games in brakcets”, the only problem now is that we generate the games dynamically, I mean, we don’t know who will play against who in the next round until the current round is over, there is no such thing as the winner of game A against the winner of game B. Not that we can’t do it, it’s just not ready for your suggestion yet. I’ll put that on our list though :-)

About CL, what we do is the following, we have 21 teams in CL, so we need a first round with 5 matches, so that 16 will continue in the competition. To choose this 10 teams for the first round we go through each country, from the worst to the best in the ranking and get the last one to qualify for the CL. If it is not enough (and currently it isn’t as we have 6 european countries) we do that again getting the second “worst” team. Doing that we had 2 teams from Italy, France, Portugal and Germany and 1 team from England and Spain in the first round this season. Hope it is not too confusing :-)

Cheers.

I’m pretty sure we already store that info, it’s just a matter of adding it to the UI :-)

Cheers.

I make Danilo’s words mine :-)

These first months of RubySoccer have been great! Even though we still have a long road ahead of us I feel the game have made a good progress and the feedback from our 180 active users (that’s you :-) ) was very important into this process. I expect to add one good new feature (surprise) before the end of the year, but I won’t promise anything.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

It should be displayed on your 85-88 financial report, at least that’s where it is in the database :-)

Merry Christmas!

Currently it is fixed based on brazilian rule, which is: number of victories, goals scored – goals against, goals scored.

We plan to make that more flexible and country dependant.

Cheers.

We don’t have a final decision about National Teams yet. Sometimes I miss them as well, it’s cool to see some of your players being part of their nation’s team :-)

Anyway, if we add that to the game it shouldn’t happen soon, but we won’t abandon the ideia.

Cheers.

Yes Charles, we’re trying to figure that out :-(

It works fast enough most of the time, at least for me, but it is painful when it gets slow as you said. Let’s see what we can do.

Cheers.

Yes it will Alexandre, as soon as we have enough teams to make it more interesting :-)

We’ll soon reduce the number of penalty kicks per match and afterwards take care of the number of shots, goals scored, penalty kick scoring odds, penalty kick taker.

Cheers.

The limit is already 30 + 6 Amaral, 30 regular players + 6 youths :-)

The 2nd of the spanish league qualifies directly to the second life, Levante finished in 4th, not 2nd :-)

We used the ranking to get 10 teams for the first round, so we’ve got 4th from Spain, 4th from England, 3rd and 4th from Italy, 2nd and 3rd from Germany, 2nd and 3rd from France, 2nd and 3rd from Portugal. The 5 winners join the other 11 qualified teams for the 2nd round.
