All
I hope we have all cooled down after the league reform and allocation of new leagues.
First official matches today, I hope there will be no less excitement than in the last two weeks :)
Meanwhile, the Developers are not idle. New topics have been taken on board, here are a few words about them:
TRAINING:
The training reform remains a priority for this season. An internal meeting has been held to define the goals, and the developers are getting to work. The plan is to accomplish it during the current season and implement the new rules from next season.
You are probably curious about the details, and there are quite a few questions about this on the forums. I will answer them during the season, systematically expanding your knowledge. For a good start:
Q: Will the "warm up" matches this week count for training like official matches as it was announced?
A: Yes, this change has been made and matches between seasons will affect training like official matches.
Q: What about pace training? If max 10 players can be trained, will it remain the slowest skill to raise or will it be improved?
A: Pace will remain the slowest trained skill. The reform should reduce the situation where all players in the stronger leagues have a pace close to the maximum. In our opinion, this will make the games more attractive and increase the value of pace skill itself.
Q: Will you give a compensation by changing the skilldown age or intensity? to give players a livespan like before?.
A: This is not planned at this time.
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.
NATIONAL TEAMS.
Q: At which week will the World Cup start next season?.
A: The start is scheduled for week 5.
Q: When NT managers will be able to see players skills?
A: We don't know yet - it is a work in progress. Probably before the end of the current season, but the priority remains training reform.
Q: Will nt matches be treated as an arcade match?.
A: There is no final decision yet.
Q: Do you plan to start a European Championship for both senior and youth national teams?.
A: There is no more room in the current international championship calendar for additional continental competitions.
In addition I would like to point out that with 17 qualification groups for the World Championships, the rule that 2 teams from each group will advance to the finals will not be kept. I will publish the exact rules soon.
COMMUNICATION / PRESSROOM
We see the need to further improve our communication and for this purpose the PressRoom tab will be developed during the season. In addition to "front page" information, it will also present smaller announcements and advice for beginners. It should also be convenient to introduce an icon with the number of new messages or information pieces - as it is in the Summary tab.
For the moment I can present one of the projects showing the direction of changes: https://i.ibb.co/gJnTkVk/pr.png.
SOME RESPONSES TO OTHER QUESTIONS:.
Q: Will the delay of matches be solved in the coming season break?
A: Once the new server environment is optimized, the problem should be solved or strongly minimized.
Q: How many weeks does the Cup lasts in Poland?.
A: There will be 2048 teams competing in the Poland Cup which will translate into 11 rounds.
Q: Tutorial or documentation of the game - Do you plan to improve?.
A: Yes, but only after further changes have been made to the main areas of the game.
Q: How can i change my region?
A: Currently you can ask the game administrator. In the future you will be able to do this yourself.
Q: What about grass regeneration?
A: Currently no changes are planned, although we will observe the turf situation in the current season and then draw conclusions.
Q: Will the substitution slots (bench) increase?
A: Such changes are being looked at as possibly being carried out in the future, along with changes within the conditional commands.

Week 05 as is in 5 weeks because it is Week 0 below the sokker clock or
Week 04 like before, but it is shown as Week 05 on NT Matches page?
Please confirm.
There is a lot of confusion with scheduling NT friendlies because it is unclear which week is which.
Thank you.

Q: What is the purpose of testing server if you test the changes on real server and then make the conclusions ?
2022-03-26 10:59 - Friendly - week 2
Q: Really DEVS? U21 matches now in european countries starting 10h59 like NT? Argh...

As I assumed, WC will start Week 5 on NT Maches page.
Please note that today is Week 02 on that same page, but it is Week 1 on official clock in left hand side menu.
These two don't match.
Please fix it and explain what is going on.
Thank you.

But those are my team's matches.
I am talking about NT Matches.
I am talking about NT Matches.
As we have already seen with server changes and CC first round matches, there is a serious issue among developers with counting weeks in sokker.
Both server changes and CC matches started a week earlier then they were scheduled.
So, I am assuming this has also been the case.
WC should start in Week 5, but since counting of weeks has been switched on NT Matches page one week earlier, now we have a mess.
Matches will be played on scheduled dates, but managers are trying to schedule friendlies on two different counts of weeks.
Let's wait next week to see who will play against whom and who will have thought they had arranged the match with whom ; )

Ah LOL... There are no ''new pages'' for the NT (yet?)
Nevertheless, this is an issue that needs urgent fix.
I would suggest for the devs to explain to us how many people they have working on the new training update and how many people they have within their group.
Cause it seems, with every implementation of new features, there's also a random, but huge amount of bugs aside those features that needs direct fixing. Either they appoint someone from their crew to be dealing with the bugfixing, or they appoint someone from within the game who might be helpfull. But there are several issues that are pushed on the long run, but that needs fix now, cause the game itself isn't coping with the bugs.
I recon the date issue is also a problem in the draw of the new cupround...
I still think the updates and changes are a good thing, but it's like renovating a house.
So we had a house, we were dry, could live our lives, but it was outdated and it needed an upgrade.
Ok, so far so good.
So the first thing was stripping down the bad electricity (flash) since that was the one thing that would soon made living in the house impossible.
So, new wires were placed (html5) and we could live again. Perfect! Big thank you for that!!
Then we had new doors and windows (lay-out) and with them, a removal of a wall to open the looks inside (overview page)
Ok, that's nice. We could use that and before decorating inside, those changes were needed, cause you won't paint a wall that needs to be removed afterwards.
Then separate rooms are in turn for an upgrade. The kitchen (season length and league reform) is the first part! Because of the removal of the wall, the kitchen is far bigger now and we can place an island (12 teams). Now it seems there are some issues with the kitchen...
The fridge cannot be delivered because it has to be imported and there are issues with the delivery date. One paper said, delivery on 4th of march, the other on 3th of april! (4/3 vs 3/4 - a sortlike issue like we have with the dates in game...) You must understand that, if you do not sort the date out, the fridge will never arrive! So this issue needs fix now! Not when the bathroom is finished... We are living in the house as we speak, so we must be able to store our food somewhere.
I get there's lots of bugs that can be pushed aside for now, since there are more urgent things to do, but some bugs needs immediate care.
With strus as communicator for the work of the devs on the bigger picture, there can also be pointed out a user to communicate bugs to 1 or more persons who take care of those issues in order of importance. The community is willing to help were possible and we also know lots of things are not fixed in a fingersnap, but some issues are really annoying and wrong. I hope someone can come to aid to this demand. You need to make the inhabitants of the house (the community) confortable within the house.
We know there's work being done, but you cannot expect us to live without a fridge f.e.

ok, I understand now
so as it was already said it seems that there is no new pages for NT matches
so You have to check them on the old matches view which is broken for several weeks now and counts weeks from 1 instead of counting them from 0 as in the other parts of the game (I was also said that it will be changed and along the whole game there will be week 1-13 but no one knows when it will be changed)
the old matches page is probably no longer maintained so I would say that lack of new matches page for NT is a bug
though, it will be easier to fix the old page :D
Anyway, I will inform devs about the issue and about the urgency

Thank you for your understanding and informing the devs.
Hopefully they will sort out weeks counting in order to match one with another mostly because of those who are scheduling NT friendlies these days.
They will probably start counting 1-13 at the end of this season, but I doubt they will reschedule NT WC so there will probably be few unpleasant weeks in the near future.
