Dev Diary 62: Some more answers before the season starts.

INJURIES:.
Exact injury information has never been directly provided by the game developers. It will remain that way as well. The only official information is the one about the reduction of the average duration and the frequency of injuries. The "by how much" information will not be publicly stated, although in time you will probably be able to estimate it. Observations gathered during the current season can be used to further calibrate these factors, but it is to be expected that the new league system will not be kind to teams with only 11 players.

Yes, it seems so.. x3 for first team if you want to be sure..+ youth players.. around 40 maybe =P
Bankruptcy comes pretty fast it seems,,

Bankruptcy with an extra game per week?

When a player has gone injured in a game, was it not by default, that he is replaced with another player from the bench?

He was replaced, but the substitute got red suspended after only a couple of minutes...

Oh yeah...just realised it ;)

Good job bro

regarding '2 matches 1 day' problem within U21 preliminaries:
- some of the problematic matches ()or all of them?) were moved at the end of season and the schedule should be ok now, but better check anyway
- the problem with scheduling matches wrongly was not fixed so far, so there is still possibility it will occur again next season if they wont fix it in time

Adaca:
“Bankruptcy with an extra game per week?”

With 40 players, yes!

Injuries is something they'll need to work in a way that players with less stamina that play a lot Will have bigger chances to get injuried, but they need to change stamina training, makes no sense older players with 9~11 in stamina... I think I read something about this change somewhere, it'll be great because we'll need to make more substitutions for older players, the game will be more realistic and challenging (in a nice way).

Anyway I think there should be an equilibrium between fixed prices/costs and fluctuating prices/costs.
If inflaction rise the player prices, for example, you get an increased difference between old (and richer) teams vs newbies.

Inflaction (imho) will produce an harder experience for a new manager.

I disagree 100%
since the prices are higher and more money comes into the game (via more home games and tickets) it's actually EASIER for the newbies

they can earn more money, thus they will be faster ready for better training staff, own youth school, stadium improvements etc.

there's a limit on how older teams can improve, for example it makes zero sense for me to further improve my stadium or training staff, so it doesn't really matter for me whether the prices are higher in that respect

it also doesn't matter for me whether I have to pay 5m or 10m for same player - since if I buy for x2 price, I also sell for x2 price (not counting sudden price rises and drops since these are not connected)

btw. it doesn't really make sense to compare newbie vs old rich teams in terms of transfer market - they operate on completely different market, the players that interest the newbie teams are being ignored by older teams

And the positive site for a faster ability to open youth school is a stream of free trainees! For new coaches it will be a nice addition in their early seasons.

exactly

for older teams youths are 95% of the time useless and irrelevant, since 100-300k euro doesn't make a noticeable difference

for new teams every 100k matters

and it's a great chance for a sudden boost of club if they get a lucky shot, there are relatively new teams that managed to get 5-10m+ euro from a single youth, which is more than they could earn via training for seasons (and the price of decent youths is also higher due to inflation, so another bonus)

Bankruptcy has always been a threat for teams who spend more than they can afford. Nothing new under the sun. Now, if you somehow think managers should be entitled to an adversity-free game without the risk of sometimes having to make hard choices, then my view of gaming is very different from yours.

Also, I see you have had a total of 1 (!) injuries this season...

That's a ridiculous notion, since (scaling by team level/wages/appropriate stadium to the team level) the additional home game would easily cover most if not all wages of the 'new 11'

of course nobody will buy a second 11

going bankrupt in this game is a very hard thing to achieve (maybe except for beginning when you recruit too expensive coaches/spend all on stadium etc)

Unsurprisingly, I agree completely ;o)
