Subject: »Løs snak om Sokker

This match is expected by supporters to be a tough and even game, with slight advantage of opponent team.

mmm..."slight"....yup sure thing, Barcaboys / Wannabes...tomatoes/ potatoes.
Jeg er bange for at mine supportere bliver pænt skuffet efter at jeg er blevet revet rundt imorgen.

Er det mig, der ikke rigtigt følger med mere, eller er det her en helt vild lav pris.

Cory Gallon, age: 25
club: Armitage Shanks, country: England
value: 349 200 £, wage: 4 305 £
adequate form, incredible tactical discipline
height: 175 cm

formidabel kondition tragisk målmandsspil
genial hurtighed adequate tacklinger
genial teknik formidabel spilfordeling
fremragende pasninger acceptabel afslutninger

Jeg ville være gået fuldstændigt amok, hvis jeg kun havde fået sølle 11.179.200 kr. for sådan en spiller.

Tjaah så kom det forventede nederlag 0-3, og ja det er da et nederlag som er til at mærke men mine supporters går fra mood 6 til 2, det forekommer umiddelbart at være en voldsom reaktion på en kamp, hvor man forventer et "svagt" stærkere modstander, eller skal jeg bare æde mine tudekiks og kommer videre ?

Jeg tror umiddelbart at det skyldes at han hverken er fulg eller fisk og snart er 26. Midtbaner er generelt i lav pris (vi er formentligt for mange der træner dem).

Han vil kunne spille rigtigt gode kampe ude på fløjen, som er hans helt stærke side. Men der er åbenbart ikke så stor efterspørgsel på wings. Det kan måske være en forklaring.

Men da jeg i sin tid solgte Ramiro Arce som 24 årig, der så han sådan her ud:

Ramiro Arce, alder: 24

klub: Frem City, land: Argentina
værdi: 3 346 000 kr., løn: 37 000 kr.
magisk form, meget god taktisk disciplin

formidabel kondition tragisk målmandsspil
udmærket hurtighed middelmådig tacklinger
udmærket teknik god spilfordeling
utrolig pasninger acceptabel afslutninger

Og ham fik jeg lidt over 12,5 mil for i starten af en sæson, men han ville ikke kunne nå de samme stats som Cory, derfor undrer prisen mig en hel del.

Endnu en ny ændring i spillet, hvis i ikke har opdaget det, er det nu muligt selv at bestemme billetpriserne på tribunerne :) spændende

Hvor og hvordan ?

Mvh. Neller

Inde på dit stadion.

Ser det :-) men ser ingen forklaring, eller vejledning på hvordan det bruges - tænker her på om det koster noget at hæve priserne og om man kan sænke dem igen, m.m
Mvh. Neller

Man kan heldigvis læse om det ude på forsiden (hvis man altså kan læse engelsk).

Hvad siger I så til den anden nyhed: "Combination passes". Well det har faktisk være forsøgt implementeret før i et par uger hvis I kan huske det, men pillet ud fra GE igen, da det resulterede i alt for mange 0 - 0 kampe. Nu skulle den være forbedret. Så går der for alvor Spanien i den. Godt at man har et hold hvor alle kan spille bold, inklusive angriberne ;)

Sokker Modifications
Starting with Wednesdays friendlies we are testing a new version of the match engine. In the new engine we have added a little more combination play with short passes to make matches more nice to watch and to further decrease the strength of defensive tactics (tactics like 532). We are also allowing managers to set their own ticket prices.

Combination play

It might look like this is a little change.... but that's not true. In fact the modification is much bigger than the ticket prices added. As with that change there is a related testing process that took a number of weeks. How do we test? We generate hundred of matches and run them repeatedly. It takes up to half and hour. Than we analyse the statistics we get from the matches like average score, shots on the goal, number of passes, long and short, average pass distance, and dozens of similar stats. We check in the statistics to see if the engine performed close to what we wanted to achieve (usually its not:), view some matches and than make some parameter tuning and engine corrections and then repeat testing.... over and over for weeks. Despite this laborious testing, we are still not sure how the engine will perform in every single match. We have already tested combination play a few seasons ago, but that time it failed and we removed it from the match engine. Hopefully this time it will be a success as it is now a much better balance. Please report bugs on Bugs / Ideas (en) forum with match ID and minute, report bug only if weird situation is repeated at least twice in single match and if it is passing bug - especially if player passed instead of shooting or passed to the wrong player. We are mainly interested in NT matches bugs or with top club teams playing their first team squads. Reported bugs in other situation will make it hard to determine if the player was just low skilled, or the engine generated the mistaken action :]

Ticket prices

We are now allowing you to set your match ticket prices for each stand. Prices are able to be set on your stadium page. How expensive or cheap compared to the default price in the rules you set is up to you. We recommend you set prices depending on the size of the supporters clubs of both teams. The better the teams playing the higher you can expect to put the ticket price and still expect the same number of supporters attending your match. So you would get a higher income. Good club teams may expect even one and a half times bigger (150%) higher incomes on matches than before. Notice that if you set the prices much too high less supporters will come, and you can expect lower income. Same if the price is much too low, more supporters will come, but not so much to compensate for such a low price. You will get the highest income if you set the right price for class of teams playing in the match. Of course, if your stadium is little and you expect many supporters to attend the match, more than the total number of places in the stadium, you can set a higher price to get a higher income. However you don't get so high an income compared to extending the stadium.

Reason for the change, apart from making the game more varied and interesting, was saturation of the market with good players at high skills and high wages. Top teams, in many situations, were forced to trade many players to balance their income with expense on wages.

Ja, det bliver interessant at se effekten af den.

Den skulle vist virke fra imorgen, men der bliver ikke meget test fra min side. Jeg kan ikke få mig selv til at stille med alle de dyre drenge i en ligegyldig venskabskamp, og jeg tror ikke hovedparten af dem der kommer på banen gi'r et reelt billede af effekten ;)

Jeg tror det er et forsøg på at bevæge sig væk fra Sokkers sædvanlige kick and rush stil. Mere spillen rundt/bredde i spillet indtil en åbning opstår (gregs håb). Forhåbentlig betyder det også at angribere (med pm), der har en forsvarsspiller direkte foran sig, vil agere mere fornuftigt og aflevere bagud istedet for at "rende panden mod muren" som vi kender nu.

I det hele taget bliver PM vigtigere tror jeg, og pasninger ligeså da der vil være et større antal afleveringer i opbygningen af spillet.

Håber dog ikke det får angriberne til at spille bolden mere rundt end de allerede gør..

Synes oftes de laver nogen mærkværdige tilbagespilninger osv påtrods af at der er frit løb mod mål.
