And if you would like to support even more please donate and help us cover next month’s US$29.95 server expenses ;)
That’s true! Thanks again for the info, otherwise I wouldn’t be aware of this change yet ;)
By the way, the change is done on my home RubySoccer environment, but as I had to make changes in several places I’m waiting for Danilo to wrap up his stuff so we can put everything in the server.
I’m curious too, Parag :P
Maybe we could open a pop-up when you click to enter the chat room…I don’t know…
That is part of the newspaper improvements. We’ll start with match results and add other kinds of news like players transactions later on.
That’s another subject, Davison. And we’ll have that too :)
Would you like to have a World Cup with clubs similar to the FIFA World Cup for National squads? This way teams from South America and Europe could face each other more often and the country ranking would be more realistic.
184 (78%) Yes, but keep the current international competitions somehow.
25 (10%) No, keep it the way it is, this competition does not exist in real life.
24 (10%) Yes, and get rid of the current international competitions so this new one fits in the schedule.
4 (2%) No Answer

It will be too complex to do at from start. Let’s get everything working with the 1:1 ratio and implement the dynamic ratio later on. ;)
Nice suggestion, Davison. We have a general chat room planned, it will be really fun! :)
Ok, I accept you suggestion, amacb :)
My feeling so far:
>World Cup with 16 clubs (32 is too much right now) split in 4 groups
>The 6 best on Champions League, 6 best on Libertadores, 2 best on UEFA and 2 best on Sudamericana qualify for the World Cup
>5th and 6th best on CL and LA will be decided by team quality, so the 2 best teams knocked out in the quarter-finals
What happened is that when the managers were fired, the player contract was very close to its end so they were not renewed by the cpu. Maybe I’ll change the logic so that the cpu “take a look” at those players.
Not at all, sponsorship is directly related to your team’s score in the teams ranking.
@Alban: I agree, the number of shots is still too high
@Parag: it makes sense to reduce the board dramatically, currently we fix the maximum board loss in 10% per match (not considering penalties for not accomplishing goals)
Fixed scout search for free players. It was not working correctly.
Anybody against renaming UEFA Cup to Europa League? For those asking yourselves why, that’s what happened on real life: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Europa_League_2009%E2%80%9310
I don’t think there is anything to do with setup, the keeper for instance is really weak compared to the opponent attackers. Maybe 100 points is too much for skills range, maybe the difference between professional players is not that big. Anyway, what we could do in case of such ridiculous results is fire the manager, so people will think twice before lining up such weak players in an official match.
I like the idea of joining CL with LA and UEFA with CS. We could have the qualifying round as we have now, but when it comes to the group stage we could have 8 groups mixing teams from 2 competitions. Unfortunately this way we wouldn’t have a CL, LA, UC or CS champion, cause these competitions would only be used as a pre-qualification to the World Cups.
I don’t know about 2b, I’m still not comforable with the consequences I mentioned…
@Samir: Not necessarily, I’ll probably keep the number of spots for the current competitions, they will just be “moved down” to give room for the World Cup spots.
I’m glad you guys understand that we’ll probably go for the first option. And yes, it is going to be great, DaMaGo \o/
Sorry for the long post, it’s worth reading :)
As those following our Twitter already know, we will have a World Cup with clubs AND the current international cups. When this new competition is ready, three things WILL change:
>National cups will end late in the season, there will be 6 turns between same round matches and 12 turns between rounds. Countries with more than 32 clubs will have their cups ending on turn 97 and the other countries will have their cups ending on turn 79. Some may say it should end even later, but I want to keep this formula so we can have countries with even more clubs when lower divisions are added.
>Current Club World Cup will be replaced by this new World Cup. It makes no sense to keep 2 so-called World Cup competitions.
>Champions League, UEFA Cup, Libertadores and Sudamericana will start in the beginning of the season. When they will end depends on what is written below.
My intention is to create a 32 clubs World Cup split in 8 groups of 4. From there, same formula currently used in the international cups will apply (teams play each other twice in each group, 2 first of each group qualify, following rounds have 2 legs, except for the final). Alternatively, we could have 16 teams instead of 32.
Now, there is another decision to make. How do we choose the 32 (or 16) teams that will be part of the World Cup? I see a few options: (in order of personal preference)
1) Use national leagues to qualify for World Cup. This way teams in the World Cup won’t play other international competitions. For example: on country ABC, the 3 teams better qualified in the first division will be part of next season’s World Cup, 4th, 5th and 6th places will be part of Champions League and 7h, 8th and 9th places will be part of UEFA Cup. How many teams will go to each competition will depend on the current country ranking position, as we have today.
2) Use current international cups to qualify for World Cup. This way the best qualified teams on these competitions would go to the World Cup.
2a) 16 best on CL + 16 best on LA (or half if we have only 16 teams in the World Cup)
2b) 12 best on CL + 12 best on LA + 4 best on UC + 4 best on CS (or half if we have only 16 teams in the World Cup)
Why do I prefer the first option? Well, if we use the first option more teams on each country will have the chance to participate in an international competition, which means a better balance regarding money distribution (from ticket income) and player evolution (for playing international competitions) and more people having fun from these competitions. Using the second option will make a few teams concentrate the benefits of participating in 2 international competitions in the same season. I’m pretty sure that is not good for the game.
I wrote too much already, now let’s read some comments :)
Wow! PSG really want to focus on CL!
The difference is that attackers on LC or RC will have to run a little bit more to be closer to the goal, once they are in the range their shots are as effective as an attacker on C position. But of course, the C attacker is more likely to shoot more and be closer to the goal.
You’re right when you said it wouldn’t take long Parag, it is done :)
I didn’t but will do now.
RubySoccer is now on Twitter!
Maybe it’s because even when the player miss the pass, if a teammate gets the ball it is considered a good pass.
I agree with all that you said, guys. This kind of investigation is never easy for us and of course we want to improve that. The newspaper is currently on Danilo’s hands (keep complaining, maybe he’ll do things faster ;) ) and this history page (already planned) shouldn’t be hard to build now that we have transfer information stored. I’ll take care of that.
Well, not impossible, but maybe we’re doing like you say, scoring a goal counting much more than preventing a high risk goal situation.
Thanks, Dhimitri! I’ll consider you our Facebook guy ;)
We’ll better organize this roles soon.
I don’t think it is a cheat even though I haven’t questioned the managers. Fortaleza’s manager is a friend of a co-worker and CRB’s manager is a cousin of another co-worker of mine so some kind of “secret” deal may have ocurred.
These guys have never caused problems before and it seems they manage their teams seriously.
I’ll talk to my co-workers, check if they know something.
I haven’t deeply analyzed it yet, but I’ve had defenders as man of the match a few times, specially when the opponents make few shots due to good tackles from my defenders.
