Subject: »7170 managers in Sokker!
Still the best manager game on the net! If someone can recommend better I'll try it.
I would imaging even Greg has got bored after 10 years of playing his own game lol

Thing is users keep developing add ons that stop people buying plus!
How can they develop the game further if there's no money coming in and why should they bother?
I would bet that they make more out of the stupid advertising on the site! I can't recall there being advertising when I first joined!?
Any other long term users remember if there was?

lol, they lost few hundreds plus subscribers (and possibly few thousands users) just by adding that stupid waiting time before match. I havent seen a single match since december because of that. Devs destroy the game by their greed and laziness. It is so sad ...
Waiting time? I haven't watched a match in a while
if you dont have plus, you have to wait 5 minutes before you can open match. WTF were devs thinking, this is obvious attempt to kill the game.
its not only that. due to 5 or more last bad decisions they lost 40k users and around 2000-3000 plus users so they halved their profit. Think about that. I said long time ago that waiting time was last step to squeeze money out of sokker before it dies. There will not be any resurrection without sale.
Football manager introduced multiplayer mode not long ago. Try to work with that :P

That is pretty poor to be honest with you!
It's going to be a while before I have a team worth watching though lol

and the fact he gives a *** about his own game, considering he always rejects offers from buyers,
Who told you he rejected (serious) offers from buyers? I don't know a thing about that and I wonder how you can know this ...

Look at the engine and how many bugs it has. It's horrible ! my brilliant passing mid can't take a corner, players dont shoot when goal is empty, launching?? always loosing the ball and so on and on(penalties...).... and with all these problems they come up with useless arcade matches? they made mistakes with engine implementation without preparing it correctly, website skin or template or how is it called still looks like crap(i dont really care about that but I believe new players really do), Body mass index ? doesnt even work properly. These are just top on my mind but there are lot more.

If I remember correctly there has always been advertisements, at least on top and on the right side of the screen.

Greg and damian have an additional test platform where they run matches while testing engine changes.
Good to know. Unfortunatly they didn't use it very well before this ME implementation, looking at how much was wrong and bugged back then :/

BMI wasn't implemented when I last watched a match. I never found any problems previously with the ME and quite enjoyed the match on a Sunday night.
The back pass was quite uncommon in the matches for me back then, tempted to buy a half decent team for Sunday now just to see the difference!

as far as I remember from my talks with greg back at the time, it was a lot because mods and admins didn't give a damn to help with the testing...
the test server works since 2007 from what I remember, but most of the staff members were never active out there, maybe 5-6 people in total were trying to do something be re-posting ideas from sk forums to test server where greg answered yes/no and sometimes discussed the ideas...
but as I've said, most staff members used to log in for a couple of minutes to check out the new things [which were introduced 2-3 months later to real sokker] and would log out without any feedback...

That's also true, staff isn't that active as they should be, specially with the ME implementation. And now only 1 person is still posting things on the test server to inform DEVs for some time now ... :/
But on the other hand, how much work is it to check the Forum Bugs / Ideas (en) ones a day. It's not that this forum is overflowing with new posts. So all bugs should be known by the DEVs without the help of staff. And if all DEVs watch their matches, they will spot the bugs and ME problems themselves also.
And also, when posted on the test server, it would be nice to know when informing the DEVs of bugs and (new) ideas it is read and taken serious by letting us know something sometimes. And that's again the communication part or better the lack of communication and that demotivated many, me also. Just check how many times the word 'communication' has been posted by how many staff members on the Linguists forum.
