2. Server crash ?

This is not the end guys! :D

Crashes in the middle of the night are the worst, they happened 2:00 AM and 4:00 AM, now it’s 7:30 AM here, let me check what is going on.

Sounds good. I’ll create this enhancement request on our system.

Thanks!

2. Loans

Maybe the amount of required matches could be related to the wage percentage. For instance, if I loan your player paying 100% of the wage I’m not required to use him, but if I pay 50% I must play him at least in half the matches. The numbers don’t need to be these, just giving an idea :)

Cheers!

2. [admin_only] Improvements

Player positions on match report now reflect the teams starting line-up. There was some misunderstanding when the formation and players position displayed didn’t match due to individual tactics or strategies. For example, before this change, if a team’s formation was 4-4-2 but at the 45th minute there was a strategy to move a defender to the attack the players position in the match report would make you think the formation used was 3-4-3.

Cheers!

2. Passing frequency

You got it right amacb, if you set it to rare your players tend to dribble instead of passing, but it affect all your players, not only midfielders. Wingers (any player on most left or most right positions) have passing frequency set one level below your team, in other words if you set your passing frequency to normal your wingers setting will be rare.

The way I see things, rare passing frequency should be more effective if your players have good dribbling skills or your opponents have poor tackling skills. In the other hand frequent passing could make you reach the opponent goal quicker but there is always a risk your passes are intercepted.

Hope this helps :)

2. Player history

I’ll add this bug to our list…it happens either when the player leaves without manager action or when the manager releases the player. We’ll see :)

Thanks for reporting!

2. Player history

I would think it’s not available only if the player was released to free transfer before player history was added to the game. If that’s not the case please let us know so we can fix it.

2. [admin_only] Improvements

Improvements and fixes:

- long passes and shots are now less accurate
- reduced even more maximum distance for headers towards the goal
- fixed bug on substitution of injured players when some individual tactics were applied

2. Earth date ?

We were not planning to change that, it would require some important design changes…is it worth? :-)

Now serious, if the season/turn system bothers you or other users we can certainly consider changing that, but it will require a good amount of programming time.

Cheers!

2. Youth?

At least 30 minutes…in the future the improvement will depend on how much time the player effectively played.

1. Topic: General
2. Youth?

Hi JadaX, welcome to RubySoccer!

All teams have 6 youth players whose age is somewhere between 16 and 18. At some point you’ll receive a message saying one of your youth players is asking for a contract. After that you’ll have an option to either offer a contract or release the player. If you do not hire the player in 12 turns after receiving the message he’ll leave your club. After hiring or releasing a youth a new 16 years old youth will replace him.

For now players only improve by playing matches, no matter whether official or friendly. The more experienced a player more matches will be necessary until he improves. When he does, the number of skill points he will earn depend on your coaching level. Check our game help for more details on that.

Our season has 144 turns and our week is 3-turn based. League matches happen on turns 3, 6, 9, 12 and so on (some leagues start later), national cup matches on turns 7, 10, 16, 19, 25, 28 and so on and international cup matches on turns 125 , 128, 134, 137, 143 and so on. Wages, sponsorship, merchandise income, all this is paid on first “week” turn (1, 4, 7, etc). Everything else (transfers, loans, renewals, improvements) can happen on any turn.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

2. Does Stadium's size matter?

We don’t have a final decision about this, what I can say is that they’re not in our short-term plans.

Cheers!

2. Does Stadium's size matter?

We thought about that, specially when we were planning to let managers decide the ticket price, but then we put both ideas aside. So the answer is no, the positive influence of playing in your home ground is not affected by your stadium size or attendance.

Cheers!

Minor improvements of the day:

- fixed turn displayed on some friendly canceled messages
- reduced maximum distance for headers towards the goal
- removed own players from scout search

2. Jogador deixou o time

First, in English:

In the first 100 non-friendly matches of a manager or team, the points are the sum of match results (3 points per victory, 1 per draw and 0 per loss). From match number 101 and the following, we use the formula:

points = points – (points / 100) + match result (3, 1 or 0)

This way the more points you have more difficult to earn more points and easier to lose them in case of loss. The opposite happens for those with few points, it’s faster to earn points with victories than losing them with losses.

=======

Em português:

Nas primeiras 100 partidas não amistosas de um técnico ou time a pontuação reflete os resultados das partidas (3 pontos por vitoria, 1 por empate e 0 por derrota). A partir da partida de número 101 e nas subsequentes a seguinte conta é feita:

pontos = pontos – (pontos / 100) + resultado da partida (3, 1 ou 0)

Dessa forma quanto mais pontos se tem mais difícil fica para ganhar mais pontos e mais rápido para perder em caso de derrota. O inverso vale pra quem tem poucos pontos, é mais rápido subir com vitórias do que perder pontos com derrotas.

2. Help with the help

Hello everybody!

We need volunteers to help us writing our game help. You can either write new topics in English or translate existing topics to your native language. As some of you may know we have a game help wiki with a few topics we’ve written in English and Portuguese. Leave a message if you wanna help and we’ll contact you with more details. The basic idea for new topics is that we’ll give the volunteers an overview about a specific topic so that he/she has enough information to write it.

Anybody? :D

1. Topic: Bugs
2. Player skills

Friendlies and official matches have the same effect on player improvement, so you don’t need to worry. In the future we may change this so that friendly matches are less effective than official matches.

About morale, we still don’t have a final decision about how that will work, but probably not playing at all would affect morale more than playing friendlies, even though at some point not playing official matches will end up affecting it as well. More details on that when we start working on it, not high priority now.

Cheers!

2. fixtures international cups

When we have more countries the international cups will start earlier and we should be fine…the purpose of having them in the end is to have competitions throughout the whole season and leave the most important ones to the end. But I agree there is an advantage right now for countries with more teams on first division, let’s see what we can do.

2. Stadium Expansion

Not millions, the factor is the result of the formula, for example:

money = 8,000,000
departments = 200,000
player wages = 200,000
factor = 8,000,000 / (200,000 + 200,000) = 20 (regular)

If the expansion costs 4,000,000, you’d end up with 4,000,000

4,000,000 / (200,000 + 200,000) = 10 (bad)

Better now? :)
