Subject: »[info]Dev Diary #82: Automatic release of NT-players from

"and see how many users still uses old one. "

In the first week everybody will try the new one, at least 2-3 times.
So, better start counting how many users still use the old one, on the second week after the release.

I thought the new viewer would take longer :). It's perfect.

But I don't understand what is the purpose of seeing who still uses the old one? Is possible that new match viewer may be unwelcome and take a step back?

I rather think we will keep both for much longer time, no reason to block any of them during the preparation for general update.

last question raul:

the international cup will be played by all the teams of the game or only the best teams of every country in the main division?

Idea is to onvolve all teams, just to create different levels of cup, to award better teams and group them with stronger oponents.
But you need to remember, that we finally delay International Cup idea, according to strong pressure to not orverwhelm players with more games per week than 3.

So our idea is to first extend leagues to 12 teams and introduce 2 games per week - and then decide about next step (if there will be still a space for another game in the week, or maybe we will reorganize competitions in other way).

wrong you guys removed the idea cause you wanted 2 leguage games per week

we had this discussion few times, so please, have mercy and dont go there again ;)

well we all agreed that 4 or 5 games per week is not an option so you should not mention it ...

I still don't understand why create invented tournaments having in real life exciting tournaments as example (Champions, Europa league, Europa supercup...). New national cup format is similar to international cup.
International cups should be like IRL, not invented things. Only if small countries don't get new users with general update should be considered.
With new users I hope invented cups won't be necessary.
Furthermore, more matches per week would be a madness...not fun.

The problem is that the "real life" tournaments are only for the TOP in the 1rst leagues.
The international tournaments proposed would be for everyone.

I understand it but I want to say that Champion and Europa league should exist only for top teams (I, II division maybe). It is a very motivating and exciting challenge for everyone.

International cups should be only for other divisions or teams that are not classified. If Top teams play international cups, Champion should disappear because it's a similar tournament with SAME WINNERS and It makes no sense.

Maybe:
I division: Champion
II division: "Europa" League
III division: I international cup
IV division: II international cup...

Something like this would be more exciting. Everyone wants to play similar real tournaments. Champion should be the big challenge of this game. NAME is very important and striking for new users although format is something different. I know it's almost impossible the same format.

In conclusion, I want to say that Champion with the current format should cease to exist and create something like that. It's not logical to keep both tournaments, they would lose value.

im agree with you rapelo. absolutely.

maybe they can add some more teams and not only the winner of the league and the cup. probably adding the 2nd and 3rd one of the league as well and the other finalist of the cup. like the real life.

And the rest of the teams, all of the main division plus the winners of the serie b and someone more, the international cup. this is my opinion, otherwise it could lose the essence of the spirit of win and compite to be better than the rest.

Totally agree. I don't know how to organize it exactly, but your proposition is a fair starting point.
Add some more teams to Champions league and International cups only for other divisions or teams that are not classified (Europa league).
I repeat name is very important for marketing and current champions league should be replaced.

So in the end, for you, its just about a name. And i can agree on that with you.

i agree with rapelo but in context 1 leguage game 1 cup game 1 international game more than that is too much per week :(

Not really. I consider it very important for marketing and I would like it, It gives a different atmosphere. If it has another name it's the same but I prefer it to resemble reality as much as possible, so current champions cup must be replaced with international cups. We can't have two similar tournaments because they would lose importance. They would overlap.

i agree with rapelo but in context 1 leguage game 1 cup game 1 international game more than that is too much per week :(

I agree, maximum 3 games per week.
