Just wondering what version of IE/Firefox you are using Northstar? I am using FF 2.0.0.6 and it works fine for me

I like the mentality bit of the formation screen. I think it offers something different. Could the positional changes you make however be seen without having to keep refreshing the page to see them? Lighter colours could also be good because at present everything is rather dark.

If you offer two different contracts to the same player, both your offers will be displayed on the players info page.

Is that intended?

Is it only possible to have one ongoing negotiation at the same time?

I offered a contract to one player, kept searching and all i get whenever i press on another player’s “transfer” link is that player’s profile.

Not sure if this is a bug or if i just didn’t find where it was…
…i have an injured player and can’t seem to find how long he’ll be injured.

Cheers

We don’t jhave strategies except for those on the right (passing style, shooting distance, and so on).

Hi Ali,

There are no rankings yet, but your situation may be one of the worse. I’ll see what I can do to restore at least some of your matches.

Cheers.

yes, i have. note that i used dotted gray on the squares, because i wanted to the field to be the most visible element on the picture. i could use another color and make it VERY visible, but i wonder what would the users think about that.

Northstar, the idea here is: we tried to come up with something a little bit more flexible than managersim´s defensive/offensive formations. With our idea, each player can have a different off/def mentality! I think that is a very nice change. But if the experience shows me that I am wrong, we will not hesitate to re-design that screen.

Please note that we do not have formation strategies yet, and I think that this may be what is generating the whole confusion. Those will enable the manager to modify the formation on different situations (ball possession / no ball possession, for example) and etc.

Hello,

I had made a formation and then deleted it. Now my first div match is on turn 54… I know this is just a BETA version, but how will this affect the calculations for the ranking and the number of played games for the season?

Thanks and keep up the good work!

Ali

it depends. what we can do is create links, inside the game, to a particular part of the forum (dedicated to dimension 1, for example).

and i dont know if i am really comfortable with an effort to make our game reflect the reality. I am much more comfortable with the idea of the players doing a good job with better balanced conditions at the beginning. later, the good job may reflect on better youths, better economy and who knows what else (maybe even country development).

or maybe i dont want to be constantly reminded that brazil´s economy sucks. :)

In a distant future maybe, we use a third party forum, no ideia how long it would take to have an in-game one :-)

As Danilo said, the league matches generation randomly decides if you’ll play home or away (of course you’ll always play against each team twice, one at home and one away), and in the average, the result is not that unbalanced. Even on MS sometimes I had 4 away matches in a row :-)

Cheers.

this was related to deleting created formations. everytime you deleted a formation, the matches were that formation was applied were also deleted (!!!!!!).

I agree Toni, as you said, we’ll find out how economy goes during Beta 1. To be honest, we did not test it intensively, so it may become unbalanced quickly.

The stadiums suggestion is interesting. Depending on our economy results we may use that or simply let everybody start with the same stadium size. First we have to figure out how stadium increasing will work.

I’m not sure I understood…if you want to see other team’s matches you have to go to that team’s screen and click on that page’s matches link, is that what you want? Are you suggesting a direct link to this page from somewhere else?

Cheers.

We should have hidden the side of the player everywhere, but we did that only on some places. Groover is right, no effect at all.

It will be implemented in the future, removed from Beta 1 plans in order to meet August deadline :D

I was planning to allow sorting on everything, but if many people think it will spoil the fun of finding good players I’ll reconsider and allow sorting on position only.

That’s strange, check on turn 10 if your balance changes. But be sure you’re not confused by what I said, the finances screen does not display what your balance was when you navigate through previous periods, we still have to implement that.

just curious to know, was this related to GMs switching teams?

Hasn’t Danilo fixed that boundaries problem?

We were probably restarting the server to fix the disappearing matches problem, no need to worry. If that keeps happening please let us know.

Exactly LeeHamo, that’s why Premiership is not that good on RS, they start with no foreigners at all.

It is related to your players quality, so the order would be Brazil 1st, Italy 1st, Spain 1st, England 1st, Brazil 2nd, Italy 2nd, Spain 2nd, England 2nd.
