Well, I’ve just renewed my keeper’s contract…46,000 for 3 years! and his keeping is only 88…well, he deserved it :-)

2. New formation

The latest changes seem to have messed up the formation screen when the formation has no players yet. While it doesn’t get fixed try putting any player in the left of the field, it looks like all spots are concentrated in the left.

Thanks for reporting.

2. new formation error

According to Danilo this problem should be fixed…at least on Firefox. Anyway, try to put your goalkeeper above the field picture, there should be a rectangle for the goalkeeper spot right above the Defense -1 spots.

2. Red Card.

If he had a yellow card before the game on tick 87 and received a yellow card on that game then he will be suspended in the next game of the same competition (turn 90 in this case).

2. Multiple Accounts

We have already notified Dereck, if he logs one more time without telling us which account he wants to keep or do not reply until tomorrow all his accounts will be deleted. Thanks for reporting anyway :-)

About the inactive period I’ve answered that on the “Inactive Managers” topic:

2. Inactive Managers

We know 30 days is too much, but we were waiting for the holyday mode to be implemented before we shorten this period. Maybe we can change it to 15 days and if anybody needs to be absent for more than that he/she will need to ask someone to babysit his/her account. Sounds better?

Cheers.

Manuel, your keeper probably should be placed off the pitch as Groover mentioned, we have a bug on that :-(

2. Player auto Substitution

You’re right, the player is not necessarily replaced by one from the same position. We already have that as an enhancement. About the yellow cards, you’ll always see the status for the following match, but I agree we need to provide a way for you to check the card status for specific competitions. I miss that too :-)

Thanks for your suggestions.

“But reporting it, as you did, is very important too for a Beta, so the developers can have the feedback… =)”

I’m glad you said that, otherwise I’d consider you were telling the users to keep our bugs in secret and use them against us! Just kidding man, nice posts.

Cheers.

2. This is getting ridiculous!

I have the feeling that if we have used statistics to generate the results instead of simulating the match most of the users would be happier. We chose the hardest path (simulate the match) so we can have a match replay feature in the future and have a better control of how different formations and player skills affect the results. The bad thing is that it takes much longer to have realistic results, even though we’re already getting some. Here’s what could have happened on those matches:

Match against Salamanca: their shots may have come from good strikers, so even shooting less they were more effective

Alavés, Eibar, Barcelona, Tenerife, Ejudo: Again, players with low shooting may be taking most of the shots

Xerez and Albacete: The keeper rating was high because he defended lots of shots, we’ll give a higher penalty when lots of goals are conceded

We are aware that the match simulation is critical for the game success and we’ll continuously improve it. Sometimes it’s just hard to find enough free time to do it faster as we have full time jobs and family that needs our attention. The game is free and we have no intention of going pay-to-play. Please be patient Radek and all other users that feel the same way and we promise you’ll have a great game. Being patient doesn’t mean you shouldn’t complain about what you think needs improvement :-)

Cheers.

2. Transfer List

We’ll have a minimum number of ticks before the player is transfered, like 2 turns after accepting the first proposal. And of course, the highest bid will win, as already happens now :-)

Encoding problem Patrick, probably Érick Vaz is the one who received the card at 24, but the ‘É’ character couldn’t be displayed. We’ll work on that.

Already fixed the problem, shouldn’t happen again (not deleting suspensions when team is not able to line-up 11 players)

2. Incomplete match report

Philipp is right, Blackburn Rovers didn’t have enough players to start the match. I’m not sure whether the score should be 1×0, 2×0 or 3×0, I guess it’s not the same all over the world, so we decided for 1×0. About the suspensions, yes, they should be deleted. I’ll remove them manually and see what happened.

Cheers.

We’ve changed the wage back to 9,999. Be careful everybody with this type of situation while we don’t implement wage caps.

1. Topic: Bugs
2. Bugs Found / Status

The board will prevent that in the future Ninja. In order for us to revert that we would have to be sure nobody else offered more than 9,999 during the negotiations and that the player would accept 9,999, otherwise it would be unfair. We’ll take a look at that anyway.

Cheers.

2. Formation

I see, we need to fix the alignment problem in the formations screen :D

The goalkeeper spot is probably above the field picture. He should be put in a rectangle there. If you can’t see the rectangle try to drop the goalkeeper somewhere right above the field picture and let me know if it works.

Cheers.

Today I’ve finally implemented penalty shootouts for national cup rounds tie-break. After lots of fair complains about the unfair the-team-who-plays-first-leg-at-home-wins rule we now can have a real winner. We’ll see that in place soon.

Cheaters will always be a great concern. Thanks to our users’ help we could already find a few ways of cheating. The collaboration of those who want a great game with the minimum ways of cheating possible is very important.

2. Number of Youth Players

Number of youths will go back to six over time. When you release or hire a youth player another one will be generated only if you had six youths, otherwise no new youth player will be generated.
