Interesting, I’ll let Danilo give his opinion since this screen was almost completely designed by him. I think it is possible, not sure how it will affect the page speed though.

At least your playing in Spain so you get the best youths as well :D

Now, seriously, I’ve been adding european countries just because there are much more countries in Europe than in South America and we have much more European users than South Americans (excluding brazilians). But I understand what you’re saying, even though I don’t think new countries in South America would be a threat for Brazil, the real deal is the new Club World Cup format that has been proposed (sorry guys, haven’t started that yet, I’m giving higher priority to some smaller improvements as the World Cup will take some time).

We’ve not decided which country(ies) to add next, but I’ll think about Colombia (have most information gathered for this one) or Chile, Mexico and USA will be added on their own North American confederation…my European options are probably Turkey and Greece.

Cheers!

O jogador ou foi vendido para o time alemão, ou foi emprestado, ou estava emprestado para um time inglês ;)

New players won’t have names like that, but while the old players are still around we can make a fix for that.

I’ve just looked at our value formula dynamic parameters, they aren’t that high right now so I guess it’s the second option.

@Nirabdha: I don’t think that’s problem, it’s just there to let everybody know who wrote that article…a few people like me use the same display name and full name

Filling the gaps: we thought about it, but soon we’ll have enough articles and there will be no gaps.

View the last 2 or 3 newspapers: we’ll have that.

Other countries newspaper: we’ll also have that, for now you can put the country number in the newspaper url, like http://www.rubysoccer.com/game/newspaper/1 will show you the newspaper for Brazil, FastTicker.

That was not planned, you’re supposed to receive new messages only if the bid’s transfer value changes, not the contract :P

Thanks for reporting!

You guys…I told you these are not the exact number, I haven’t done the math :D

Yeah, when lots of passes happen in the same replay block (whose duration is 10 seconds in the match) only the beginning and end are displayed in the animation, the intermediate steps are displayed only in the comments.

1/2x or 1/4x can be easily added. We have plans to create an offline replay viewer in the future.

Small Positive difference means 1 goal difference more than expected, so in this case you mean it should be small negative difference (expected 5-3 was 4-3). I believe that in this particular case the article selected did not have the sub-category, just the category “Match Result As Expected”.

You’re right about this heading, doesn’t seem right :D

@Filipe: Interesting point, but if you think about it lots of players should be similar and just a few should be stars, so reducing only the mean will not change the fact that there are too many good players. This is a controversial subject, as always.

@amacb: what I meant was, the average number of points earned per skill is still twenty, I’ve reduced the chance of an improving player earn much more than 20 points. I don’t know the exact numbers, but it would be something like, before the player had a 10% chance of earning 25 (or 15) points instead of 20, now this chance is 8%.

Matches are not picked by surprising results but by importance. For instance, a legue match between the first and second places (no matter the score, could be 0×0) will have higher priority than yours, no matter the result. Of course this is just our initial approach, we were afraid that considering surprising results as an important factor would cause these results to dominate the newspaper.

About existing youths, you have to consider 2 things changed, it will be harder for a new youth to start with high skills and it will be harder for new youths AND existing players that are still improving to get much more than 20 points per skill ;)

@Neil Green: these are the types of articles we have only 1 approved template for

The winner and the loser really were the expected teams – Small negative difference. Example: expectation 4×0 result 3×0
The winner and the loser really were the expected teams – Medium negative difference. Example: expectation 4×0 result 2×0
The winner and the loser were not the expected teams – Small difference. Example: expectation 1×0 result 0×1
The winner and the loser were not the expected teams – Medium difference. Example: expectation 1×0 result 0×2
Tied match result (Both teams scored the same number of goals) – Small difference. Example: expectation 1×0 result 1×1
Expected tie but one of the teams won – Large difference. Example: expectation 0×0 result 3×0

You guys don’t forget we need all 3 sizes ;)

Thanks!

The fact they meet in semi-finals is a coincidence (even though it is the most likely situation using the curent formula).This kind of complaint must have come from europeans, here in South America we are so used to the lack of organization in our football competitions that nobody would think about it :D

We are working on that, Nicky (Vaughn) is also taking a look at what we have now and giving suggestions. The reason for the blank space below the articles is because each article size has a large range of possibilities. For example, the main article is somewhere between 560 and 1120 characters, so when a 560 characters articles is picked for that space there is a lot of free spaces. Don’t forget the fact that the articles will be translated and become bigger in most languages. Our translators will have a lot of work (me included) for next month updates :D

My bad, this message is supposed to be sent only when someone makes a transfer proposal for one of your players, not when you offer a contract renewal or contract to a youth player :P
Should be fixed!

Agreed. I’ll add some more information to this article and make sure the articles have at least the basic information when we approve them ;)

It’s % of points won, no matches :)
This is pretty common on brazilian league tables, that’s why I’ve added this information. Anybody else liked / disliked it?
