I think the incoming of the sponsors based on the latest perfomance it is not enough. The so called “Big games” should also increase the incoming from the sponsors for that turn.

Also UEFA and Champions should have higher sponsors.

Thanks for your understanding. I know that is tuff to reply to all posts :p.

I am sure that you are doing almost everything to take rubby into a balanced game.
An our misson is to give you feedback… but sometimes, since we are playing the game for a while, I almost forget that this is a beta game and I am expecting not so drastically changes :p.

keep the good work.

Cheers.

The stadium reduction was a good ideia. But something is not working quite well… My team, during the league, was always in the top 5, my players wages are normal and my finance is going critical and last season I went to champions league semi-final and won the league cup.

I would say that most of the teams that are not going critical, is because they had plenty of money before the stadium reduction.
Instead of getting a big bank account, I invested on good players , therefore looking for more incoming.
I only had 2millions after the reduction… of course bankrupt will be my destiny. Theres is no way to make more incoming, since my base incoming was the stadium.

Yes I have one or two players that have medium wages… but how am I suposed to think of winning with the bad players I had? Ohh, that’s right… I am in the portuguese league.

I know that I am not the best manager arround here and that there are a lot better managers (I am not beeing ironic.) but I was making my own way.

I am not angry with anything nor anybody, only sad for my team.

Maybe I am the only manager with this problem. Suggestions are wellcome.

2. Donators Cup

Hi,

since you’re having some trouble in getting donations and we could have servers with more perfomance. And to keep rubysoccer totally free and even the donators do not have any advantage (which is good) I will propose the folllowing:

Maybe you can create a Donators Cup or RubySoccer Cup, only donators managers can participate. The winner could have a good reward or have direct access to Champions League or something else. The minimum of donation to enter in this league could be 5$.

What do you think about it?
Ca’mon guys, they’re working for free and we could have a faster server. 5$ is not that much.

Regarding the new server, after some days of use, …

Maybe the performance is degradating during time. Sometimes pages take a while to load. In the firsts days, the performance was really good.

2. Where do we stand?

Having a white page on the transfers list, only increases the number of clicks. I dont think it is an improvement… At least remove the drop box and put some normal links to each transfer category (it avoids a lot of clicks )

thanks

You can fire the players that were bought ilegally and forbid the manager to buy players for 72 turns.

2. Web Hosting

Since you guys could be looking for a new reliable server… Users could give some sugestions from their own experiences.

Im my case, I already had a lot of web hostings for several sites… and now I am using www.kattare.com – This host has a very good backbone and some good politics:

- “High speed redundant fiber optic connections from top tier vendors AT&T, Verizon (UUNet), and Global Crossing.”
- “No more than 25 users per shared webserver.”
- “30-day money back guarantee”

Check it out http://www.kattare.com/website-hosting-features.kvws

Expensive? Maybe… But it is worthy. I do not have any commission or fee from this host. :)

In general it is good (much better than the previous server.) In the busy hours, sometimes, it takes a while to open pages.
But hey… for a free game it is very good.

I wish there was a “I’m not felling lucky” button in the formation screen. hehe :) Sometimes there are match results hard to face, specially the ones when we know we are more skilled.

2. Match Result

Hi,

i am wondering if my team is not facing a behaviour pattern in match results… Of course I do not pretend to “remove” the glory of the opponents from its vitories.

Maybe it could be difficult calendar but …

… but every time I tie or loose an official game it is almost certain that I will loose or tie the next official game.
In the last experience I had, I lost with the team in the first position and next I tie with a team in last places.

… I also checked others teams matches list and I did not find this behaviour. Luck or Unluck I guess, right?

thanks,
Ricardo Marques

Yes, hiding information when line up is complete, it would be the expected and also hide if the competion is not available for that team (of course). Instead of “League: Line up is not complete” you could put a red icon for each competion.

Thanks,

Can we have in the Team Info screen instead of “Line up is not complete” someting like

League: Line up is not complete
National Cup: Line up is not complete
UEFA Cup: Ok.

and i really miss the transfer history (available at the newspaper).

cheers,

2. Formation screen

Hello,

It is known that when planning the formations for official matches, if we have a friendly in between we cannot see if there are “punhished” players (red and yellow cards). Sometimes we plan a team and one or other player did not show up in the match…

In this screen… you could add flag remembering the user that the next official match has unavailable players.

… OR …

display a selectMenu/dropbox list (in this screen) which contains all game turns (or at least the next official match turn). When selecting an element/turn from the list, it automatically shows the formation status for that turn (the same as if it was that the current turn).

… OR …

in the team matches screen… show a line in red if team line up is not complete for the next official game.

cheers.

Is there any consequence if I lose a row of friendly matches? Does this influence my team in the league/cup matches? Is it better not to make friendlies against making friendlies and loose?

2. players improvement

Ok, that makes things more balanced. But don’t forget our players are not that good, so we have to buy foreign players in order to build a stronger team and compete with other countries, so we are hiring bigger wages.

… And the players that others foreign teams want to get rid off (the bad players), are better than almost any player in our team. I have bought 4 to my team.

But ok, I will deal with that :).

2. players improvement

What I am saying bellow shouldn’t be read as complains. :) It’s only a opinion.

In certain point manuel rocha is right. For example our coin is stronger than brazil. In real life “rains” brazilian players in portuguese league because we can afford to pay more in Portugal. Why does Portugal start with less money than brazil? A first divison team in Portugal starts with less money than a second division team in Brazil. That is not fair!

And Portugal rank is the worse, why? At a inicial point they all should be equal and then it should flow according to the results. Real life ranks started at zero too. And now, if there is a country with more rank its because it deserve it.

Our players are not so good in real life, but maybe their skill (in rubysoccer) are a little lower than the expected. We still have some good players in real life.

I hope you’ll understand my concern. I want to play and spent some effort in a league where I know that I can have a chance to succeed.

Ricardo Marques

2. France and Portugal leagues

Portugal only has 16 teams in each division. The majority of leagues has 20 to 22. What will we see in Portugal? 2 Divisions with 16, 22 or 3 Divisions. This game has many portuguese people, I think that 2 divisons of 16 teams will not be enought. :)

1. Topic: Suggestions
2. Survey

I would say, to use the same tatic and make the right substitutions, if the team squad is not complete before the match. Sometimes this is annoying… :)

Others ideias…

- the contract clauses: relegation, big club or a clause fee to pay.
- as said befora: “save as”-button for tactics
- after proposing a new contract, we lose control of the negotiation, i.e., if the player accepts the contract, he his automatically in our team. For example: I want to buy a player, but probably I will make several offers to several players, because some of the negociations will fail… but if all that offers are accepted I will have a lot of players in my team.

2. Wrong formation used in match

Another game… where a different formation was used:
http://www.rubysoccer.com/game/match_report/30997 … but I think in this case I had a player with a red card. But why it changed my tatic that was 3-3-4 to 5-2-3? After the game the screen formation has the right formation.

Maybe I loose another game because of this behaviour. For me it is impossible to see my team every tick.

Why can rubysoccer rearrange the team players using the same formation?

Ricardo

I am quite sure. I did saw my formation minutes before the game and I do not have a 4-3-3 formation configured. If it happen again I’ll post again.

Hi, I am on Newcastle on dimension 2. After playing this game http://www.rubysoccer.com/game/match_report/31216 I checked that the formation that was reported was 4-3-3. This is wrong… I used 3-4-3… and I checked before and there was no player unavailable.
