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

Im with 15 trainees. Most of my them are already trained in pace, similar situation is with stamina. My current choice is to select 10 that will get standard training this week. Im still considering to go with stamina, off all the other weeks with official games, this week is only friendlies and one game less.

Why not friendly on Tuesday.

They could push Sunday and Monday to Tuesday, and have 3 "morning" updates and all the events from S, M and T on Tuesday, but it's easier to ignore us.

But fuck one week, the bigger issue is that we won't get new training. I am sure we won't, they are silent for a reason.

Not even that. The issue is complete lack of communication. If they saw that they might not complete training update in time, they could have communicated that a month or 2 ago and everyone would have at least some time to prepare accordingly.

Yeah, if they are not gonna meet the deadline I want to know will they implement it a few weeks after or next season. I mean, there should be no delays, they never changed the plan, but it would ease my mind to know what's coming, this is a strategy game with long-term planing, but no, just radio silence.

From DD 63 about training: "the implementation date of the changes stays the same and is expected to be at the beginning of next season.

Since then, DD 63 has been deleted and the information flow has stopped completely. Does not bode well. Does not bode well at all.

"Since then, DD 63 has been deleted " ???!!!

DD 63 is still on page 1, since it was published (April 25, 2022)

Not in Pressroom (/news) which is, after all, the official channel of information.

Bear in mind that not all users venture into Forum, and those who do might not stumble across this particular subforum. Neither are they expected to.

It might be an accidental coincidence, but I'm worried it's not.

That was probably a mistake/bug, i still got that in the press room in spanish.

Perhaps. Or maybe they only deleted the source info (english version) and didn't think about deleting the translations? Still just guessing here of course.

12 teams 6 can go down and they did , very silly format, please change to only possible 3 or 4 teams can go up or down, 4 is too much 6 is not even funny it's crazy!

i don't understand, if 7-9 place teams were not strong enough to defeat 2nd place in lower division, where is the problem that those teams are going down?

It's a good format... 7th-9th place have a game to beat the 2nd division teams and defend their spot.

It is important that there is alternation and this format allows both extremes, it is quite flexible and that is good. That they drop from 3 to 6 teams per league gives more value to winning a league and takes into account the second place of 12 teams, nothing to point out about the format.

They might upgrade with "dont drop 9-12 human teams for bot teams" though. "Nice" to see supporters on free fall (and guaranteed sponsor money drop) after that on top of falling all season of simply downgraded league strength already...

Let me put it another way

going down finishing 7th from 12 is a good format? nope not at all
going down finishing 8th is a good format? = getting a bit better
goong down finishing 9th and in a playoff being the strongest team in playoff = much better
going down finshing 10th in a playoff
11th relegated
12th relegated

at most there should be 4 teams relegated , 3 is really the norm

5 or 6 should never have a chance of happening in my book
I rest my case

I would agree that playoffs would be 2 games instead of 1, so it would be less randomness, but strongly disagree that 7th place would be safe just because it is 7th place. If you can't beat 2nd place of lower league, you are not worth to stay.
I rest my case.

If a bot team beats real player, is not about the Format is about the Manager.

How can someone deserve to stay in higher league and Milk the money if they cant beat 2nd lower rank team?

The Format for me is good, more quality matches will be played and the difference of the teams will be lower and lower in time.
