You’ll probably have time to finish the championship Tiago. Good luck!
International Cups on final testing phase. New dimensions will be created to replace Beta 1 and Beta 2 until the end of the week.
I’m almost done with international cups, just need some testing and a couple new screens. So the answer is, in about 2-5 days.
Cheers.
The explanation is very simple, early in the season we had some problems with the national cup generation and I had to do it manually. Unfortunately I generated the matches in turns where league matches happen, so a few league matches have been rescheduled. The reason these teams have less games is that Nautico had friendlies scheduled for every free turn, making it impossible to reschedule the matches against Botafogo and America-RN. This situation won’t happen in a normal season because league matches will never be rescheduled.
Sorry for that Bretum, these 3 teams will have to end the season with less games than the others.
Cheers.
The safe list is a possibility but right now there is nothing we can do, at least not in a short amount of time. I’m sorry that you have to live with it for now. We’ll have a reset soon and each dimension will have around 300 teams, so you’ll have a lot more places to look for good players. Hope this can compensate somehow :-)
Cheers.
I’m not sure we can do that at the MAC address level, we’ll investigate. I agree with you that we have a lot of people playing under the same IP (we also have some co-workers with whom we cannot trade) but unfortunately this restriction is necessary to make cheaters life a little bit harder. And again, we’ll improve that if possible :-)
Just to give everybody an update on international cups status. I’ve already implemented a country ranking that will be used to determine how many spots a country will have for each international competition. That is not very realistic for South America because here we have a fixed number of spots per country, but as we plan to have dynamic country skills I decided to balance the number of spots and use a ranking as UEFA has. For those who are not familiar, these rankings will be updated based on the country performance on international competitions in the last 5 seasons.
We’ll have 4 international competitions to start: Champions League, UEFA Cup, Libertadores da America and Copa Sudamericana. As we have only a few countries, all the competitions start in the knockout round. In the league table screen for first divisions you’ll be able to see to which competition the first positions teams will qualify.
What is next? Create the matches for the competitions and update rankings at the end of the season.
Cheers.
Unfortunately, that’s the current behaviour, the game picks the “best” players available, no matter which position they play. In the future, we’ll consider the positions you’ve setup on your formation in order to complete the missing players with other from the same position.
Cheers.
Hmm, that’s possible…I’ll take a look.
That’s strange, even though Torino has 11 players, I’ve just seen a match report where there were only 10 lined up, that is not supposed to happen. I’ll fire the manager anyway, he’s been absent since mid october.
Danilo has just fixed it.
Oops! Looks like we have a bug. :-)
Thanks for reporting, we’ll look into it.
Are you sure there is no defender placed on M – 1 instead of D +1 for instance? That would make a 3-4-3 instead of a 4-3-3 :-)
I think we are used to see team names in the short form here in Brazil, that’s why we did it that way :-)
Here we call São Paulo Futebol Clube → São Paulo, Clube de Regatas do Flamengo → Flamengo and even Benfica that you gave as an example we call just Benfica.
But if it is a general opinion that we should change that we can certainly do it. Or maybe have someone from each country to tell us how team names are usually written in his/her country.
Cheers.
I agree with Danilo, the team info screen may display a full name in the future, but screens like league table, team matches should display the short version
Thanks Tiago!
I’ll update our files today.
Thanks Ricardo!
Managers get sacked after 1 month of inactivity. I know, it is too much, but we have to implement holiday mode before reducing this period.
Hello guys,
I’d like to ask someone from France or Portugal to send us the list of teams currently playing in the first two divisions of these countries. If you don’t live there but want to help we’ll also appreciate :-)
The lists can be posted here so everybody can see we already have them. Thanks in advance.
Samir, maybe this market problem can be solved when we change the initially generated players to a more reasonable level and also modify the players evolution rules so they take a little longer to evolve. I have some ideias in mind, hopefully I can implement that before the reset.
Yes, that happened due to the cup bug. Unfortunately, fix it manually is not an easy task at this point. Hope you guys can handle this situation. Sorry.
Cheers.
And international competitions, as I’m already working on it.
Ricardo: the logic is similar to the one which calculates the estimated value, so if your player’s value increased a lot his wage will probably increase as well, but not so fast as it was happening. In the other hand, if you have offered much more than the player is worth, when you renew his contract you won’t be able to decrease the wage to its “real” value, you’d have to do offer an intermediate value otherwise the player wouldn’t accept.
Toni: thanks for your feedback, I’ve had a few negotiations as well and I’m satisfied with the results so far.
Cheers.
I found the problem, hopefully it is solved now. Next tick we’ll know…or we’ll have a tick error :D
Sorry guys, there was a problem with the system, you should be able to trade now.
Cheers.
I got your point Ricardo, it’s just that we designed the season and competitions in such a way that all countries would start their competitions in the same period, so that international competitions (even between continents in the future) could be played when all leagues were at the same “level”. You’ll see the benefits in the future :-)
What a friend suggested is that we clearly marked the mid-season somewhere if we add that stamina boost I mentioned. Let’s see.
This anti-cheat message is displayed when you’re buying a player from a team whose manager has. at least once. used the same computer or same network as you. If that’s not the case please let us know so we can investigate the problem.
Cheers.
Would you mind european seasons starting in january or february? :-)
One more issue about this…european seasons start around august while some south american seasons start in february and we want all countries to start in the same period so it would not reflect real life season for some of them.
It is a possiblity (and thanks for the code). For now we’re planning to display the total turns in the season (144) somewhere in the screens so you’re able to identify how close to the season end you are. Anyway, we won’t have winter “holiday” and our summer holiday is not that long on some countries and leagues, that’s why maybe we give players extra stamina in the middle and in the beginning of each season in order to pretend there were such holiday times.
