Subject: Ideas & Suggestions Poll
In my opinion the most important modification is not in the list.
Please change the play-off event in a system of playoff - playout between teams in the same series!
I love Sokker and I think that it is the best game in Internet: for many reasons I'm sure that it is and it will remain inimitable for a long time.
But in my opinion the system of promotion and relegation should be improved.
Look at what my opponent in the last playoffs match wrote to me after the match:
"Dear friend, only a few minutes before the match I changed the decision to give walkover. It's a life that I'm in that group and I thought that a relegation would be a starting point to find a new challenge".
I think that is very bad that the system of promotion and relegation demotivates people so much, creating groups so strong to become cages where you can get away only through a relegation.
And beyond the managerial side of the game, what interest can have a season when even if you have the stronger team of your group but you get a draw in the first match, you already know that you will never get a direct promotion?
Perhaps the polls in the forum aren't so representative, because of the low participation (however usually those who participate in the forums are the most active players), but the results are clear: 74% of the people in Italy and 54% in the world don't like the current system.
My proposal (in order to have more movements in groups, greater uniformity in the difficulty of the groups of the same series, more matches on play-off Sunday) could solve many problems, but of course any changes from the current system would be welcome:
- all the winners play a play-off match between themselves: the winner is promoted, the loser goes in the group of the defeated one
- all the 8th ones are relegated directly
- the 6th and the 7th teams cross between teams from different groups, playing a play-out: the loser is relegated, the winner remains in his group
- the 2nd and the 5th as the 3rd and the 4th cross between teams from different groups: this match is friendly but it gives training and money (so the only teams not playing in the qualifying day are the 8th ones that will be penalized in this way)

I definitely agree with your proposal. I am happy that you don't want to change the structure of the leagues because current math is great: 8 teams and lower level has 4 times more leagues. But movement between them absolutely needs to be even more dynamic.
Some time ago I proposed an automatic reshuffling of the leagues each season. Making a new set of leagues for each level every year would make this game much more fun. Yes, we would lose long-term rivalries between teams in the same league but that's the only downside and it's not that important. And the reshuffling could also enable an immediate postseason deletion of bots meaning more promotions for human controlled clubs. We come here to play against human controlled clubs. Playing against bots sucks.

Market Assistant / Autobid system NO
Reduce bottom divisions into one big league similar to the junior leagues Don't change the structure of the leagues.., NO NO NO

So, if your goalkeeper is injured it is convenient that a goalkeeper can "borrow".

Player loans - a horrible idea that somehow always manages to comeback with a vengeance :)
that it is not, I think on the positive side. (if you temporarily need a keeper).
Have 2 keepers or buy him when you need him and sell him later. The market is dynamic enough.
Almost nobody wants players to buy from my
I don't care much about any option mentioned except improvements to training. I don't think we need training camps or any other novelty. But instead of checking the last position player played on it should be changed to any good position for training during the week. It would improve the quality of the Cup as one would have more choices to rotate players and use the ones that already played on trained positions also in the Cup on non-trained ones.
But I guess everyone knows about it, we are just waiting for it to happen..

Make it for IOS and android, i think manny people use a tablet but not seeing your matchses is difficult to set a good tactic!
Introduce Team/Individual Playing Styles (e.g. long/short pass styles etc.)
to put on sale tickets for the match (friendly and championship) and we see how many spectators come to the game!
