I have to say I feel a bit encouraged to do something about the game at the moment. I know the pay to play is probably the way to go, or maybe a freemium model. In order to move towards this we would have to change some basic stuff about the game, like real club and tournament names. Even if we do that I’d like to keep the same structure: countries with fixed divisions, a national cup, two international competitions and club world cup.
How would everyone feel about losing real-life clubs? Maybe I should start a topic about this…
Sad to see you leave Smithers, but I understand your reasons. Davison is harsh as usual but of course he has a point. Shutting down the game has been considered a few months ago, but we decided to keep it alive for the sake of the players and, who knows, we could get excited to work on it again. It seems some people still enjoy playing RubySoccer, when that’s not true any more we might as well shut it down and save some money.
Cheers
Olá Rui,
Entendo suas considerações e acredito que realmente não tenha criado outro usuário com más intenções. Certamente nosso método não detecta todos os casos e até detecta casos que não são batota. A decisão de não permitir mais de um usuário por pessoa foi pra tentar facilitar o gerenciamento e não ter que analisar caso a caso quais deveriam ser permitidos e quais não. Espero que compreenda.
Abraço

English: Rui explains he was not cheating and not even hiding the fact the other account was his (given the same surname), simply had a separate user because he’s addicted to the game and wanted to have more play time. He also questions why it is considered cheating to have another user and questions our detection methods. I told him I believe him and explained the decision to not allow multiple users was simply to make it easier to manage these situations by simply forbidding it rather than having to analyse in a case by case basis.
Visto que não é a primeira vez acho justo. Vou despedi-lo do Sporting.
Obrigado

English: Lince and Scatola argued something should be done with Rui’s user, not only the duplicate. Given it’s not the first time he creates secondary accounts I’ll fire him from Sporting as punishment.
Obrigado Micoli, já confirmei o abuso e bani o usuário Tiago Reis que treinava o Dijon.

English: Rui Reis had a second user, Tiago Reis, who I just banned.
Correct, stamina doesn’t count for national squad matches. Not sure how he could have vanished from your team. As you mentioned once the competitions start the selection changes are locked :-/
Well done Jorge :-)
Hopefully it won’t take 50 seasons before this happens again!
Posso até fazer o reset, mas não há garantias de que não volte a acontecer.
I’m still here, occasionally. Pretty much nothing has been done in the past 7 months. Life priorities are complicated :-(
That’s weird. I have to admit that when I was last managing a team I didn’t watch the replays so I’m not sure that happened with my strategies. We’ll have to test it again and make sure the sub player is indeed taking the new position rather than sticking to the old one.
I won’t rule that out, even though I still believe match replay is just not accurate enough. Another thing I should point out is that our referees are coded to make mistakes sometimes, both ways.
In your example player X will use the newly specified position once he enters the match, zone A side C and mentality -1. The previous player position on zone D, side C and mentality 1 will be empty. If there is no player on the specified position no substitution is going to happen.
You lose points if your total performance + money left was worse than in the previous season, you gain extra points if it was better. When I say performance I mean finishing position in each competition (if you didn’t join a competition you simply get 0 points from that), the league being the main contributor (all teams on div 2 get less points from the league than teams on div 1). Oh, I should also mention that the country ranking interferes with the total points a team gets.
I bet that’s an issue with the way we present the match replay, not the match engine itself. The match replay contains snapshots of every 10 seconds of the match. Between one snapshot and the other the players must have run towards each other and one tackled the other.
Isso pode acontecer mesmo que não conheça a pessoa, seja porque usaram a mesma rede pública coincidentemente (universidade, trabalho, free wi-fi, lan house, etc) ou porque usaram o mesmo provedor de internet com IP dinâmico. No último caso o provedor pode ter fornecido o mesmo endereço de IP pra vocês dois em dias diferentes, fazendo com que o sistema registrasse vocês na mesma rede. Infelizmente não conseguimos diferenciar os casos listados acima dos casos em que as pessoas realmente se conhecem, por isso preferimos pecar por excesso do que por falta de restrições. Espero que compreenda.
Abraço
I have to say I like all of your suggestions…with the exception of maybe #6…I’m a selfish bastard!
Maybe both need a reset. At least Medium seems to have more managers than Fast now, usually it was the opposite.
Hahaha, right on the spot :-D
Some clarifications.
1) Investment points are won based on your finishing position in the competitions you participated (regardless of board expectations). Bear in mind that participating in the secondary continental competition provides less point than participating of the top continental competition (and similarly not participating in any international competitions give you even less points).
2) From one season to another the full amount of points you have is always recalculated. Imagine this as if all your investment areas were reduced to zero, points calculated for the new season and then automatically invested to match the levels you previously had, if possible. After this automatic process any remaining points are displayed as available.
3) The points from money left are combined with the points from competitions performance, so there is no way to know how many points you’ve got from each. If after the automatic process described above you see lower investment levels it just means the points calculated for the current season were less than in the previous season.
4) I understand the pain of losing money, that was an attempt to control the inflation that was happening in the game. Maybe a better solution would be an economy reset, but again, some people would always feel in disadvantage…unless we stated in advace how many seasons would be played until a reset…hmmmm.
Hope this helps.
Cheers
Hi Mauro,
Sorry for taking so long to reply, I’ll send you a message in-game with that delete mail content.

I remember that option from SS, shouldn’t be hard to implement. I’m kinda of ashamed of saying things are not hard to implement but never actually implementing them! Now at least I have an excuse, I’m going to have a baby in a few months and there are lots of things to do in order to be ready for that ;-)
That’s exactly why national squad matches do not improve players, to prevent managers from picking their players on purpose ;-)
Sobre perder o jogador tendo oferecido ordenado um pouco maior isso acontece porque além do ordenado o jogador também considera a chance que terá de estar entre os 11 titulares. Em outras palavras ele se compara aos jogadores de mesma posição nas equipas que querem contratá-lo e quanto melhor ele for nessa comparação maior prioridade ele dará praquela equipa. Se você está tentando contratar um atacante por exemplo que pra você vai ser como o terceiro melhor atacante (nos cálculos do jogo) e para uma outra equipa ele será o melhor atacante ele poderá escolher a outra equipa mesmo com um salário um pouco menor.
A espera de 3 turnos para poder negociar um jogador é para evitar trapaças onde um treinador coloca um jogador à venda minutos antes da virada do turno e avisa um colega pra fazer a oferta sozinho.
In addition to that, players improve more on international matches (Champions League, Europa League, Libertadores and Sudamericana) than in national leagues and cups, and less in friendlies.
Yeah, the newspaper could be much more interesting than it really is at the moment. When the system selects the matches to display there it doesn’t take in consideration surprising things like a small team going through the finals of European Cup, but it should say something about the national cup final. Maybe you didn’t look at it in the turn right after the match…that’s another unfortunate feature, the newspaper is regenerated every turn.
The email links redirect to www.rubysoccer.com, so if you initially accessed the game using only rubysoccer.com the redirection does not work properly. The newspaper has been abandoned for quite some time unfortunately :-(
If I’m not mistaken the ones starting in the qualifying phase are picked starting from the last qualified in the worst ranked country, then the last qualified in the second worst ranked country and so on until we get enough teams.
Done :-)
Just tried to add the flags to the transfer list, broke it for some reason…will investigate later.
Loan deals are not terminated automatically (it used to be like that a long time ago). The idea behind the decision is to favor smaller teams (the ones usually loaning in players) which, in theory, need the player more than the club who bought him. In addition to that the team using the player was usually caught by surprise when the player was sold.
Cheers
