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

Yes

You must find the way to change new training system next season and not only that .As i noticed at my country 28 people will quit the game.I guess the same situation is for the other countries and this is not good for the game.Look for example how many people will quit the game at Poland,at least 400 as i saw

I am very dissapointed at that, when we were promised something else long time ago. I have to change my entire team almost, cause i planned for it.

Sokker is a game of planning ahead, and with changing deadlines several times for new training system, that is not possible.

Im a fan of the development, but it is going way too slowly.

You are not the only one my friend.Every season are telling us that they will change training system and the engine machine in two seasons.Devs must see the concequenses if they want to see the game alive.

Yes, the new training system needs to have the highest priority. This influences all managers the most.
I do like this game and do like the development also, but dont understand this choice of priority.

Training system is our priority now, but we need to face some important problems - that need to be solved in seasonal break, and it affects timing. Sorry for that, but forcing changes faster would be too risky.

here is my post from few pages before about that:




Hi guys, sorry for missing this forum last weeks - but lot of work is going on, so we were quite busy.
Anyway - few new options finally introduced, new schedule, training reports, in few days we will introduce also new homepage, login page and registration.

There are still some bugs to be fixed, we will move forward with it task by task - all listed before is noticed (like wrong descriptions of game type, or TV studio link).
After that we will also focus on some old bugs, like NT minutes counting in training reports.

Few important topics that I've noticed in last pages:

1. Problem with server and and delays in games:

Yes, we are working on it. To be honest, everything is ready to move for new servers (even our testing database is already there and its working) - but we decided that its to much risk to do it in the middle of season. We decided that perfect timing to move there will be first "free" sunday after season (next one after play-offs).
Tchat step is really complicated for us - its not only about servers, but will be combined with introducing of large code upgrade - code part responsible for morning game updates. Nothing will change in current gameplay, but we need to introduce that path before any serious changes will be implemented in game mechanics.

2. Training reform

We are sorry to say it, but despite of our work is already started with that idea, we cant introduce it from next season. Its directly connected with point above - first we need to introduce new code path dedicated for morning updates, and we finally decided that its to risky to do it now, we will wait for seasonal break. After that we will need another few weeks to introduced prepared training changes - it means, that our reform is moving one season later. I will describe it more detailed in next dev diary.

3. Marging small countries is also an topic here

We know about it, but please give us about 2 seasons in current shape - if we will be not able to increase number of players in small countries, we will prepare an solution (probably one "country" named like "rest of the world" and there will be a chance to play there if some nationality is to small for own leagues. If with time number of users of that nationality will increase, we will seperate it as normal country then. But before it - we will start promotion and advertisment pretty soon (we just waiting for new welcome page introduced) - so hopefully it will solve that problem for at least some of current small countries.


Sorry once again for being quiet, hopefully we will have more time for communication next months.

Raul - in date 2021-8-1
Small announcement - but probably quite interesting for many users on this forum:)

We are preparing first step to include NT national bases inside Sokker.
It will be a checkbox in every player profile - "allow player skills for National Team coach".
Seems its quite easy to develop. Based on that, in the future we will be able to develop search list of NT players for National Coaches.

News?

And you tell: in october should be introduced for sure

I think the check box should say otherwise. ie: ". I do not allow to show my player's skills”

I mean initially, all players' skills would go into the NT database and be seen by the coaches. and only if the user marks the check box, the coaches are prevented from seeing the skills of the players.


There is a big difference, because many users use little sokker or pay little attention to details, and a check box could take a long time to activate. On the other hand, if access to the skills of the players is allowed at the beginning and only if, expressly, the user does not allow access, it would be fairer and more complete.

In relation to this, the NT database integrated in sokker, would allow to carry out a "dream team" with the best players as it exists in the current NTDB?
It would be nice :)

I understand, looking forward to it :)

We were waiting years for changes, and now that we will have them, can't those users wait one more season? Bah. I'm disappointed too. I have to change all training planned again. But most ppl won't leave because of that

New training system will be launched in 61 season

I have to change all training planned again.

Already done here, of course, with profit :))).

We know about it, but please give us about 2 seasons in current shape

Now all users at sokker are 10889.At two seasons all users will be 7000 and after two seaosn 5000..All of them they will not give you two seasons.I am talking with some friends(i met them here) at facebook and they told me i dont like to return at game.Find out why.

but dont understand this choice of priority

I have two strikers.The 24 years striker i have will be 3x18 ata the end of the season.The 23 years striker will be 18x15x18 at the end of the season.I have two choices.First one is to sell the 24 years striker and train 23 years technique.The second one is to keep both train them defence one season and wait the new changes.I am at delema now what will i do

Pump the brakes, Nostradamus :P

Quit the game, this will resolve your dilemma.

Nice answer my friend.That advice will follow most of the users now dont you think?
