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

what about Junior leagues and matchs?

I still totally dont understand what happens to the teams in highest division. after this season.

Well, I'm still confused as well. In assignment rules #3 it says that "We keep the score (points, goals)", but even though I've read the whole stuff several times now, I can't figure out exactly how the score is going to influence the sorting process mentioned in rules #4...

Am I right to assume that all league winners from level II will promote to level I no matter what? If not, I would appreciate any clarification here :o)

diary on 1st page, too

Well,the talents from those countrys like Kypros are rare,i like to have one too,but i cant find any,
and i hope im wrong in this.

I dissapointed already with all those new pages,that not help at all!

---

as far as I understand: They will play promotion/relegation game, if they lose, they will be sorted together with the "safe" places (2 to 4) for the league assignment.

Bearing that in mind, a "weak" champion from level II could be sorted below a second team from a stronger league of the same level, and then the weak champion would not be promoted.

Same here, i happens sometimes, a runner up in a second division get more points than the champion of other second division, so who would get promoted, champion, or who got more points overrall?

Exactly, not that easy to understand as People tell here.

Please tell us exactly what will happen not with things that are not 100% clear.

@Raul can you reasure the 8th place in highest division will stay in highest division for 100% sure?
If not i have to spend 150 million euro for players to avoid 8th place after selling top trainees.

Yep, in 1 div all 8 teams will remain in new system. Play off will only affect league hierarchy, so for example team from 7 place, who won playoff will be on higher starting possition than 5th team that lost playoff.

But it is linked only to new season schedule, nothing more.

Playoffs are more crucial for II div champions, Mammuth and Dasanches above are right - there is a chance, that poor champion will lost place in I div vs strong 2nd place team, but only if he will lose playoff (and have less points)

- First, we sort the teams that fell from a higher league level (direct relegations from higher leagues, and play-off losers from higher leagues)

Hi Poey, I think this means any 8th place team in first division is not getting below more than 3 teams. So even if every other team in first division lose their relegation games, the 8th position will not get further down the 4 place in the new sorting table and they will get promoted to first division after the rearrangement.

Anyway try to get to the 7th position and win your relegation game, you will need a "depth chart" (as used in american football) to the next season multiple games.

Thx for clarifying this. Also, I didn't realize that winning a playoff would actually secure a promotion - I thought it would just be for show ;o)

Training stays on Thursdays?

language dialect should be fixed in the game ?

Thanks for clary Raul, another thing, a possible side effect of the new league format, the sponsors, they may get affected since they are related to the teams in a league, will be there some change planed for them, and the supporters mood?

It's much more interesting when You don't have 2x super divine defs with incredible/brilliant side skills

Totally agree with you.

Now insteas of using your 2x17 + 3x 15 defender, you need to choose wisely what kind of defender you wanna use and it Also dependes on tactic.

2x17 + 3x15 is so un real, plus you change tactic and your player is going to work always

Thanks Raul for the fast reply!
Looking forward to next season :)
