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.
That’s right, Dhimitri, but what I was thinking is that someone who is already familiar with a specific social network would create the RubySoccer page and let others know about it. Of course we would add a link to this page here on the site. About Twitter specifically, it would make more sense if me and Danilo took care of it :)
I’ll take a look Jorge, thanks for reporting.
Match enhancements:
>Reduced passing accuracy
>Reduced the keeper chances of catching a deflected ball or a ball that hits the bar
Well, to be honest I don’t know many social network sites (Orkut basically), but the idea is to have someone responsible for advertising, foster game discussion and grow a community on these sites. Even in Orkut, as me and Danilo basically own the RubySoccer community but we don’t have enough time to advertise the game there :(
Yesterday I’ve reduced that probability but when I did I was looking at balls deflected by the keeper. I’ll check the “hit the bar” situation and see what I can do. Thanks, Alban!
That’s true, this clause is not reset…do you think it should? It does make sense…
Are you a mind reader, Dhimitri? :D
We’ll soon make a poll asking for help on that. We already have an Orkut community. Would you be interested in helping us with Facebook? If that’s the case please send me an in-game message. If you’re not interested or don’t have enough time don’t worry, we understand that :)
Easy one. I’ll add to our list :)
Makes sense. I’ll try to come up with something.
It was either part of an unknown deal or Fortaleza’s manager believes in the player potential (and has a lot of money to spend). I’d go for the first option.
Up and running ;)
I don’t care about Brazil’s position in the ranking, I’m not even playing in Brazil anymore :)
The world cup is a complex subject DaMaGo, you can expect an official poll about it soon.
Saludos!
I’ve seen that happen a few times in brazilian league when I was playing there. Not usual though.
That’s weird, it worked here. Have you tried to refresh the page (F5)? Which browser are you using?
Don’t worry guys, I think we can stop talking about this subject already. For those using excel try your copy and paste with “hide flags” checked, it should be working now ;)
I guess the manager should be able to pick…but that could be a problem if the manager picks his clubs opponents players on purpose…
So many things to think about…so much fun! :D
