Happy 2nd anniversary! Enjoy our new layout! Any comments, compliments, suggestions or problems please let us know.
We’d like to thank Fernando França who was responsible for 99% of RubySoccer visual transformation. It was worth the burger ;)
Cheers!
Hopefully today, even though the right date is tomorrow we don’t wanna have to fix any bugs during the weekend :D
More nations will be constantly added, Jesus. Our plan is to add all South American and European nations before including other continents. Of course we may change our mind ;)
Interesting list, Turkey and Greece are already in our plans, I see Ukraine is a good candidate as well.
Nothing will be done for now, I don’t plan to make the board block these transactions, but maybe some kind of GM approval system…nothing will be done right away, don’t worry :)
Players won’t be transfered back to their teams unless we’re investigating the transaction for any reason. If player A was lost cause the contract ended or he was fired or sold by mistake or fired so his manager could make a proposal for player B that was put back on his previous team for possible cheating investigation we WON’T return player A to his team, no exceptions.
There is a known bug in the holiday mode where a player contract won’t be renewed if there are less than 12 turns left for the contract end when you entered holiday mode. Make sure you renew all contracts before using holiday mode as any players you lose in this situation WON’T be returned either.
What now? Two teams already made proposals for him…
Well, I agree it needs improvement…the board should have some influence on firing players.
Moved Neucastle Noronha back to his team while investigating.
Dot, what you need to understand is that it was YOUR mistake and that Arminia’s player had not been hired when he was returned. I don’t think he should have been returned either, but Danilo thought it was the right decision on that case and I’m ok with that. We’re not around all the time so when we saw your message it was too late anyway. Would you be happy to return a good player you hired on free transfer after firing other players to fit him in your squad or simply adjust your budget? Think about it. The system is far from perfect, but we have tools out there to prevent this situation like holiday mode, 36 turns contract alert icon, 12 turns contract alert message. Lots of people have lost players like this, I have a co-worker (Palmeiras manager) who has lost an excellent goalkeeper due to a bug in the holiday mode and we couldn’t return the player cause he had been hired already. Imagine if we had to spend time rolling back all these transactions…it’s impossible.
That’s all I have to say. If after reading this and thinking about it you still feels like leaving just because of one player you lost it will be sad. I’m sure you can understand the situation and stick around to have fun here. Of course not all our decisions are right or popular, somebody will always complain about a few of them, but unfair is definitely not a good word to describe them.
Cheers!
For the record, Frankfurt’s manager declined the proposal, as most people would.
I’m always online…except when problems happen…
I plan 3 great enhancements for our next year: match engine reformulation, world cup with clubs and national teams.
About the recalculation, I can certainly work on that soon, it’s not that hard. At least people will stop asking me to recalculate their players value individually :D
Of course I can! CPU teams can do that, if you look again you’ll see both teams didn’t have a manager on season start ;)
Should I give a hint? I don’t know…I’ll tell you we’re not going pay-to-play, so Alban is wrong. but you’ll see things in a different way.
You may like it or dislike it, but I doubt anyone will be like “whatever…” :)
Oh, and don’t worry if the treat is not what you were expecting, interesting and big improvements will come before the 3rd anniversary.
I agree, Nirabdha, and I really doubt Frankfurt’s manager is willing to let his player go :)
It’s because the news I recently posted on twitter are not really improvements yet ;)
I’ll talk to Frankfurt’s manager, if he agrees, I’ll do it, otherwise I won’t.
The only reason I won’t delete your post, Meninao, is because you guys know each other…and it’s a little bit funny, if you ask me…
I agree, while working on the match engine one of my goals is to make players more aware of their surroundings, so one player less will make a difference.
Arminia only got back one player, which hadn’t been hired yet. The others stayed on their new teams. It’s a tough situation, Dot… :(
Found the problem, will correct it right away!
Hi Dot,
I’m afraid there is not much we can do, it would be unfair with the teams who hired your players. Hope you understand that.
Best Regards.
Yeah…I can’t believe it happened…AGAIN!
I’ve noticed some similar problems, not sure what is going on yet with our translation plugin :P
You got it right, matheus. Blue means the skill increased after last match, red means it decreased.
Hmmm, that’s a good question…I suppose you had midfielders available to replace him, right? Anyway, I’ll let Danilo take this one, he is more familiar with this area than me.
Unfortunately not, when the selected player is not present the player who suffered the foul or the closest player takes the penalty kick. I know, we need to change that! :)
Unfortunately yes…but it’s a good thing if you think of it cause you get new stuff AND match engine improvments! Of course the latest may not be ready by Aug 29th…
As I’ve said in the other topic (http://www.rubysoccer.com/forums/6/topics/1216), I’ll go back to the match engine :)
Ok, that’s it, I’ll go back to the match engine, I promise :)
