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

You get a bank loan within an half hour :D

Diary on 1st post!

Great news We start working on automatic registration in Sokker.

Exciting game yesterday against Castelluccio.

The 2-0 win was based on luck, with a lot of emotion, suffering from the attacks of the Castelluccio wing for most of the game. Now I face Naldo, another sensational game.

I wonder if these guys who own the game really decide to put the game forward create a continental competition of clubs and national teams, and start to move this regional rivalry. It will be too cool. In addition to the competition itself, we have the opportunity to give more to other clubs.

I'll take Flanaldo, for example, who in Serie A is unable to be a Champion, was also eliminated in the Copa do Brasil and is now playing the official practically to fulfill the table.
With an official "Libertadores", classifying 4 teams, I would be fighting in the Libertadores and at the same time fighting for a place for the next one. The game for him would be much more interesting at that moment and for everyone who is competing with him for fourth place.

For those who are in Serie B thinking about going up it would also be cool, even if they are not in this situation, but the fact of planning and going up would be much cooler.

big +1

Faster registration is a step into the right direction, but in general I still don't understand the priorities. The devs are spending a lot of effort on their pet projects new design and training system while all other things that could bring much more immediate improvement are pushed back. If the aim is to get new users, there are a lot of things you could do fairly quickly:

-Easier tactics editor
-Better starting team and standard tactics
-Pool for friendlies
-Arcade tournaments
-More watchable youth games, or even better a youth system that lets you influence training and scouting

All of this has been proposed, but apparently none of it is being worked on at the moment. That is getting rather frustrating.

Immediate priorities should be finishing the 3D viewer (fix the remaining bugs with goalkeeper jersey and names of substituted players, and add a view with static camera) and skins with better color schemes for the new design (really, only all white or all blue can't be a permanent solution). Then the first phase of the redesign would be finished and it's possible to focus on other development.

It has been said numerous times before... still lots of managers don't seem to understand.

They want to make a new code for everything so they only need to adjust the work points 1 time...
You don't buy new spoilers and seats and spray color for a car which you know is going to be replaced by a new one...
This is the exact same thing.
Yes, the ME, training, youth, tactics, arcade, transfers and even forum aspects needs to improve, but let them work on it within their new structure in stead of wasting time in the old structure, only to start from scratch again when they want to introduce their new structure.

Have some patients... Because of them we are still able to play right now...
Rushing things now ain't the right solution.

some of your points are already in the agenda for the next months

For faster registration:
I think it will be faster if an confirmation mail is sent and after pressing the link to receive the team.
I understand that the idea is to have an "anti-cheat" system, but if it's faster to delivery the registration with this part, and after that to build the cheat system on top of that, it would be easier.

E.G. If I'll apply for a new team, send me an confirmation mail, I'll accept the team, and as fast the cheat system can catch me, to block both teams.

My opinion is that we should have automatic registration as fast as possible, even if for a small there is a risk that some users will have two teams.

"E.G. If I'll apply for a new team, send me an confirmation mail, I'll accept the team, and as fast the cheat system can catch me, to block both teams."

it is not correct in english... I do not understand anything :(

User applies for a new team.
User receives a confirmation email.
User confirms the mail, and now he has a team.
If the cheat system shows that he has two teams, both of them can be banned.

Sorry for my bad English :D

I agree with you :)

and don't be sorry about english, it is important that you can communicate :) so be proud of yourself ;) !

+1 at all points!

The best idea to balance the new players with the old ones is not to limit the transfers for 1 month but
simply adding more slots trainings in the minor divisions...

example:

10 slots tr in serie A
12 slots tr in serie b
14 slots tr in serie c
16 slots tr in serie d

pd: the ones who take advantage at the market doing daytrading is just a merit for dedicate hours to a game. i cant understand why people criticase them...they deserve!

But that's just NOT the game...
It's like giving people a training update for each 24h being online...

Nice idea, I like it!
