Subject: »[info]Dev Diary #82: Automatic release of NT-players from
1. Transfer auto-refreshing - probably you noticed that transfers near the end (2 minutes) are auto-refreshed every 4 seconds;
Now I wonder... Where do you notice this feature? Cause I have to check the player manually or wait for notifications all the time...

So now games start with a 10 minute delay and the viewer oftens runs with an extremely low frame rate. Meanwhile the 3D viewer is still not finished and other small bugs (e.g. showing the second tactic on the lineup page) also haven't been fixed in months. Please devs, fix those things before focusing on other projects. Working on an overview page under these circumstances is like fiddling while Rome burns.
Besides, many other things that have been announced also aren't implemented like better skins, new notifications, training and finance page or more realistic hair and beard colors. Since plugins don't work anymore it would also be good to implement their main features (like NTDB link) in Sokker asap. Please get things finished instead of starting too many new ones.
Also is the new training system still supposed to be implemented 1 1/2 seasons from now? It would be time to announce the definitive details, because it's hard to plan when we don't know how we can train our players in the near future.
As for the overview page, I'd prefer to have that information on the appropriate pages. Why not have the team stats on the team page (as we had with plugins, which was very useful), training report on the training page, finance stats on the finance page and a link to the next match on the club page? That would make the site much easier to use than a crammed overview page.
Btw a small bug, I still get a notification from the overview page when my lineup for the next friendly includes a player who is suspended for the next league game. It doesn't seem very elegant to have two different notification systems mixed up now anyway, maybe this could be included in regular notifications.

The game needs instant view = remove notification mode.
Once you open the notification, the number decreases or when on 1 it is removed instantly and by closing the notification or going to another page the notification bar should be removed.
It's enough to get 1 notification for 1 thing. We don't need 20 repeats like another guard in Skyrim telling you he used to be an adventurer like you before he took an arrow to the knee :-p

I'm beginning to suspect that Sokker is running low on money. Otherwise it's hard to explain why the programmers for the 3D viewer left before finishing their work and there don't seem to be enough server capacities to properly run the matches anymore. I really don't understand why it's not the top priority to make Sokker more attractive for new users as quickly as possible to generate more income.
Better starting teams and standard tactics should've been the first step, this could be done quickly and would help a lot. Then easier tactics editor, better engine to make games more watchable, possibly attractive new features like Arcade tournaments. Then a marketing campaign, and Sokker has a good chance of growing again. This would've been a lot more efficient than spending months on a completely new design. Maybe there's still a chance to reconsider the priorities.

We haven't seen anything from the contractors in a while, 2D guy, 3D studio, we are seeing interface fixes, so the UX designer might still be working but no new pages in a while.
I have selected for friendly match a booked player and notification doesn't disappear.
By the way, Why not put the same configuration as in overview page so that the clock can be seen right? although I really would like a little more space between the lines. They are very close in overview page.

With the 3d there is still a lot to work, players dont have numbers on shirt(the old viewer had), goalkeepers don not use their designated uniform, the use some random yellow or black, or other uniforms. frame rate has serious issues, when a players get change in a match, tho one who enters the pitch keeps the name of the one who got replaced... i get devs want to have a good product, and they want to make a good experience for users when navigating in the game menu, but the 3d viewer is a main selling point for visual appealing, (for simple gameplay and tactics sake we can use the 2d), and in imho in the current state, 3d viewer is failing to be visually appealing, not with the problems mentioned, specially not with the low fps. it looks promising, but after months of development it just dont pass of being promising.
I still prefer 2D viewer. I think 3D viewer needs an update but we haven't known anything about it for a long time.
Unfortunately the communication from the devs has also become rather bad. We don't get information about why there is no progress on the 3D viewer or when it can be expected, why there are a lot of technical problems with the matches lately (let alone an apology for that), or whether the new training system is still on track. It would be good to get updates on all that.
What about automatic registration ?
According to the Dev Diary it should have been fixed in April / May.
A friend of mine created a team yesterday, his registration was not validated yet and his user (1900641) / team was even deleted this morning !!
How are we supposed to attract new users by acting like this ?

Have you ever seen GK slight injured during penaldy kicks after the end of the extra time!!!My keeper didnt touch the ball during the game.I dont comment the score that should be at least 4-0.As it seems tactics dont count finally.I dont also commet the injuries.With this way people will quit the game day per day.

Maybe you could implement a "remove" function for the overview notifications.
For example i have this notification "Some players are not entitled to play",
One of my players is banned for the match, but as i am lazy i dont want to switch him for another. I just added an substitute that will play instead of him. So my match setup is done, but i will see the notification till the match ends/starts.
