2. Wrong table

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.

2. International Competitions

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 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 :-)

2. League Table

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.

2. National Teams

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.

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.

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.

2. Champions League

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.

2. ratings goalkeepers

I agree Philipp, that was discussed some time ago and I was thinking about doing the following:

-limit the maximum rating based on the number of goals conceived
-give a bonus for clean sheets (unless there were no shots on goal)

2. (native) player positions

I’ve discussed that once with some friends, a few suggestion came up:

-at the end of player generation, change position field according to generated attributes (so in the example above the player would be a midfielder)
-at the end of player generation, change position field according to generated attributes + potential (so in the example above the player would be a midfielder only if passing + potential in passing was greater than tackle + potential in tackle)…that could give away something about potential, like in your example, if the player was still a defender you’d know that he’d evolve his tackle at least until 79
-allow manager to change player’s position
-use the first ideia plus dinamically change player position during game when evolution caused one of the 3 main attributes to become greater than the others

In my opinion none of these solutions would add that much to the game, but if I had to choose one I’d go for the last one.

thorpedo is right Rui, you’ll start in the second round, which is 6 turns after the first round’s second leg.

2. [admin_only] Improvements

The Goals and AVG Goals statistics for goalkeepers on player history screen will now tell us the number of goals conceived by the keeper. It will be represented by a negative number (or 0 if the keeper hasn’t conceived any goals in the games he played). The count starts now, so all matches so far won’t be considered.
