We had to get rid of all our existent match replays. All new match replays will stay on the server for one week. The reason for both statements is lack of disk space.

cheers!

we are planning a big package__ of what we consider CRITICAL improvements that we want to implement in the shortest amount of time possible (the lines in red). The match logic is not there because some of them will deeply affect it. If you guys have any other suggestions that you consider critical, please let us know.
cheers!

difficult decision. I will talk to Gabriel, but for now I am thinking that the best decision is to wait until we implement the rest of our initial plans for strategies and tactics. After that, we will send an email to everybody that was our user once and it is not anymore, inviting those people to check our improvements out. That will hopefully bring some managers back, giving us more options. We can also start some free advertising after that – we don’t have any advertising at all.

cheers!

I am also against cutting out the second divisions. For now we only suggest players who want more human opponents to move to more populated countries. We will still think about other options.
cheers

Hugo, we do read everything. Always :). Everything you mentioned is on our list, some of then are planned to be implemented very soon. I hope we can keep up with all the improvements we have to do!
Dave, I am glad people are recognizing our recent improvements. And I think that very soon we will have a few major new features.

cheers!

Dave, you have a very good point. But I am curious about one thing, for now: what is the message when the pages fail to load there? How is that going, recently?

cheers

This discussion is getting hot… NICE! Thi is the kind of spirit we need here. ARGUMENTS! One of the things which helps us most to improve this game.
Everybody has a good point, and balance is what we seek. We don’t want to make the game so easy that any idiot with 5 minutes would be able to be successful. But we also don’t want to unable people with limited amount of time to be competitive, for starters because we are part of the latter group and our motivation to build this game is that we had a lot of fun playing managersim.
Lets see where this discussion can lead us.
cheers!

We are losing some managers lately. I wonder why, if we are open to suggestions. Where are you, unsatisfied people? Speak up! Let us know what is not good enough to you!

Team and manager history are paginated. That will save some page loading time.

Well, it is not the most beautiful thing in the world but I think this works now :). I will adjust the look and feel later.

cheers!

I was curious to know what is our community feeling about how things are going in rubysoccer. Are you pleased with our development and new features? What about the future? Do you have any other feedback you would like us to consider?

Speak up!

cheers!

I will change this very soon. I will probably have to completely change the tooltip position.

thanks and cheers

talk about altruism :) but I think I agree with you. Lets see if we have more opinions/arguments here.

Well, one possibility that I was talking to Gabriel about is to dedicate one of our access points to donators only. As for the game features, I agree that there should be nothing available to donators only.

We still have to study the possibility, but the only advantage would be the very fast access to the game. The idea is that the donator should at least have a quicker access to the game. What do you guys think about that?
cheers

Donations public/private detailed information are now available. You can see your private info info by clicking on your username here in the forum. Sorry for the style, I hope you all understand why I did not want to waste too much time on this right now.

Yep, Gabriel brought up a good clarifying point. When I said best clubs, I assumed that you guys would think about first divisions and best countries. But It is good to make sure everything is perfectly clear.

cheers!

Thorpedo, you are right.

But now you are talking about how the real world is versus how would you like our game to be. In real world, best clubs tends to have both the best players and youths. It is the same in our game. If you want your club to have the best players AND youths, you have to gradually improve your team until you reach that point.

cheers!

I can understand your concern. Very soon we will have a lot of extra stuff on match. In the meanwhle, we will see what we can adjust. But one thing we have to be careful about is not to use isolated exceptions as examples. I wonder if you guys would like exceptions to be ABSOLUTELY impossible in our game. It is fun to have the possibility of extraordinary things to happen, in my opinion.

I hope you can find motivation in our good number of recent and past achievements, despite the many things we still want to implement or improve.

cheers!

I’ve added a brazilian option in our home page. It has lower taxes and accepts credit cards and bank transferences. Hope it is ok.

cheers!

Just wanted to comment that the tick percentage is still not adjusted. For now it works but it jumps from 5 to 60% when all matches are played. We will change that very soon.

cheers

Polat, you are using the transfer list tab in the countries, right? Because we have the search by position there.

We had a discussion about searching here, and the conclusion was that we didnt want to make the process of finding nice players too easy. The understanding is that this would eliminate the fun of finding them. But as Gabriel mentioned, we will have scouts :).

cheers

oh-oh, sorry Hugo, it seems that I didnt pay enough attention to your situation. Well, right now the only way to achieve the result you want is by creating strategies for all the combinations of possible events which may happen, like I have described in a previous post. But I will try to come up with something to make this easier. I am planning to work on this screen soon, so I hope we can have this shortly.

cheers!

We now have a tick progress bar. You don’t have to refresh the tick screen, the percentage is automatically updated every minute.

So here is what I will do:

1. At the forums, if you click your name you will see a list of your donations (that will be PRIVATE, only you will be able to see it)
2. At the donations page, you will see a public list of donations. No names, just the dates and values.

Is somebody not comfortable with that approach? You have 1 week to answer :)

Well, then I guess we need 2 new conditions: “RedCard to anyone” and “Anyone injured” :). Piece of cake, I will add that with the other suggestions we have.

cheers
